Papal Hall, Council Hall.

Bibi Dong was handling Spirit Hall's many affairs as usual.

At that moment, a series of footsteps came from outside the hall.

Luo Ling strode inside.

Bibi Dong looked up, somewhat surprised to see Luo Ling.

Ever since she had refused Luo Ling's request to go out training, she knew her disciple had not given up, so she had kept Ghost Douluo watching him.

To prevent Luo Ling from sneaking off alone.

"Teacher." Luo Ling smiled as he walked over to Bibi Dong and sat down beside her.

"What? You want to talk about going out training again?" Bibi Dong paid it no mind and merely shot Luo Ling an irritated glance.

"Yes, Teacher. I'm already level 29. With my current strength, sparring with Senior Sister and the others won't improve me much anymore," Luo Ling said with a smile.

It sounded exceedingly arrogant coming from a Soul Grandmaster, but it was also the truth.

"If Na Na and the others can't satisfy you, I can have some bishops spar with you." Bibi Dong glanced at Luo Ling from the corner of her beautiful eyes, unmoved.

The corner of Luo Ling's mouth twitched slightly. He was helpless in the face of Bibi Dong's stubbornness.

After a moment of silence, Luo Ling finally stated his true purpose:

"Fine, Teacher. It's alright if I can't go out training, but there's something else I'd like to ask you to help me with."

"I want the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's Distraction Control Method," Luo Ling said seriously to Bibi Dong.

Bibi Dong froze, only reacting after quite some time.

"You mean the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's Distraction Control Method?"

"Yes." Luo Ling nodded. "Teacher, you should know about my Raven Shadow Puppet."

"My First Soul Skill, Darkness Weaving, can control Darkness Threads and use them to command the Raven Shadow Puppet in battle."

"That requires strong multitasking control. I think the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's Distraction Control Method would be quite suitable."

Bibi Dong furrowed her brows slightly and began to ponder.

She knew of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's Distraction Control Method. It was their closely guarded secret; obtaining it would be easier said than done.

What was more, Spirit Hall's relationship with the Three Upper Sects was not good.

Bibi Dong was troubled. This was one of only two requests Luo Ling had made since becoming her disciple.

The first had been to go out training, which she had rejected.

Now he had changed his request, yet she still could not fulfill it.

Over the years, Luo Ling had been helping her ease the Rakshasa God's Evil Thought. Her dependence on Luo Ling had already reached an extremely high level.

She did not want Luo Ling to go out training not only because she feared someone might harm him in secret, but also because she did not want him to leave her side.

"Teacher, you have to agree to at least one of my two requests, right?" Luo Ling looked at Bibi Dong with a smile, a hint of cunning in it.

Over the past two years, he had constantly used Soul Body Threads to help Bibi Dong alleviate the Rakshasa God's Evil Thought, which required his Soul Body Threads to intertwine with Bibi Dong's.

Once or twice was fine, but after so many times, their souls had long since become incomparably intimate.

Bibi Dong had even moved into the room next to Luo Ling's. The two often ate together and discussed matters.

Luo Ling knew very well what Bibi Dong thought of him now. They were probably closer than family. Even if he did something excessive, Bibi Dong would be reluctant to hurt him.

Looking at Luo Ling's utterly fearless demeanor, Bibi Dong was furious, yet she could not bring herself to scold him. She could only say softly, "Xiao Ling, you know Teacher only doesn't want you to go out because I'm afraid you'll get hurt."

"As for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's Distraction Control Method, the Three Upper Sects aren't very friendly toward Spirit Hall right now, and the Distraction Control Method is the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's closely guarded secret..."

At that point, Bibi Dong fell silent, revealing a troubled expression.

This lofty Pope actually wore such a distressed, sorrowful look, truly opening Luo Ling's eyes.

Combined with Bibi Dong's exquisite, flawless appearance, even Luo Ling, with his steadfast will, found her pitiable.

Shaking his head, Luo Ling forced himself to stay calm. He could not let Bibi Dong beguile him.

"Xiao Ling, how about you make another request?" Bibi Dong said gently.

Luo Ling sighed helplessly. He could only bring out his trump card.

"Teacher, have you ever considered recruiting the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?" he suddenly asked seriously.

"Recruiting the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?" Bibi Dong was startled, then shook her head. "Xiao Ling, you don't understand. The Three Upper Sects have always stood together, and all of them are hostile toward Spirit Hall."

"Stood together?" Hearing that, Luo Ling said disdainfully, "Then why, when we attacked the Clear Sky Sect back then, did the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan remain completely silent?"

Bibi Dong had no response.

"Teacher, you must understand that there are no eternal friends in this world, only eternal interests," Luo Ling added.

"But if you want to recruit the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, we have no benefits that could move them." Bibi Dong frowned. "The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is the richest sect on the continent. Although their hard power is inferior to ours, when it comes to wealth, we cannot compare to them."

"Teacher is right." Luo Ling nodded in agreement, but then a mysterious smile appeared on his face. "Our wealth truly cannot compare to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's, but we can use something else."

Hearing this, Bibi Dong looked at Luo Ling in confusion.

Luo Ling did not keep her guessing and said faintly, "Teacher, you know about Immortal Herbs, don't you?"

"What do Immortal Herbs have to do with this?" Bibi Dong still did not understand.

"I know a place with many Immortal Herbs, including one that can turn the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School."

As Luo Ling's words fell, Bibi Dong's pupils suddenly contracted.

Seeing Bibi Dong's shocked expression, Luo Ling smiled slightly.

This was exactly the effect he wanted.

Given his current relationship with Bibi Dong, there was no need to conceal the matter of the Immortal Herbs anymore.

Using Spirit Hall's power to obtain the Immortal Herbs and turn the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect over to Spirit Hall would not only greatly increase the strength of both Spirit Hall and Luo Ling, but also sever Tang San's ties with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect!

"Do you know what you're saying?" Bibi Dong calmed herself and stared intensely at Luo Ling.

"Of course I do."

"Where are the Immortal Herbs?"

"Sunset Forest."

Hearing Luo Ling's answer without the slightest hesitation, Bibi Dong began to believe he was telling the truth, but she still could not help asking:

"How did you know there were Immortal Herbs there?"

"I read about it in a book. The place was described very vividly. In any case, whether there are Immortal Herbs there or not, won't Teacher know once you go take a look?" Luo Ling answered casually.

Bibi Dong gave Luo Ling a deep look. The longer she spent with him, the more she felt he had many secrets, but she would not expose them.

"Alright, then. Since you say there are Immortal Herbs, we'll go take a look." Bibi Dong stretched her stiff body and made her decision.

"Tomorrow, I'll bring Chrysanthemum Elder along. If we find nothing, hmph!"

Bibi Dong snorted softly. Faced with the ill-intentioned look in her eyes, Luo Ling could only put on a foolish grin.
