Xue Qinghe: Old Man Xue Ye, Time to Hand Over the Gold
Upon hearing Xue Qinghe's words, Wu Tong finally remembered the matter of payment.
He immediately asked, "Then, Brother Xue, have you made up your mind? Are you ready to exchange those two Immortal Herbs?"
Xue Qinghe didn't hide anything, knowing Wu Tong would find out sooner or later, and spoke frankly.
"Of course, I had already thought it through before I came here. The two Immortal Herb I plan to exchange this time are the Heavenheart Hundred-leaf Orchid and the Leaf of Life."
Heavenheart Hundred-leaf Orchid is a divine medicinal herb. Its function is to heal injuries, remove external evils, restore the dying to their peak condition, and allow things invaded by external evils to return to their original state.
The Leaf of Life, a divine herb, has only one function: it contains immense Life Force, enough to rejuvenate and prolong life.
Upon hearing Xue Qinghe's words, Wu Tong didn't think much of it. He didn't care how Xue Qinghe selected the Immortal Herb.
With a flick of his right hand across the Taiji Bracelet, two jade boxes appeared in Wu Tong's hand.
Wu Tong handed the two boxes to Xue Qinghe and said, "Brother Xue, these are the two Immortal Herb you requested. Please keep them safe. It would be a real problem if you lost them, as I don't have any more of the same kind of Immortal Herb."
"Haha, Tongdi is still so serious. Don't worry, I'd rather lose myself than lose these two treasures."
Upon hearing Wu Tong's instructions, Xue Qinghe responded with a smile.
"That's good. I've engraved the instructions for taking it on the jade box that's packaging the Immortal Herb, so I won't go into details."
After Wu Tong finished speaking, he turned to face the two Spirit Beasts, eagerly preparing to absorb the Spirit Ring.
"Brother Xue, then I'll trouble you to protect me from now on. I'm going to absorb the Spirit Ring here."
"Alright, don't worry, Tongdi. Although I'm not very strong, I can still handle protecting the Dharma."
As a Spirit Master, Xue Qinghe also deeply felt Wu Tong's urgency.
The moment the words left his mouth, Wu Tong waved his hand, sending out a punch and a palm strike like sharp weapons, carrying an unstoppable force.
The blow struck the two Spirit Beasts, and a surge of An Jin energy emanated from the body, flowing down the arm and into the Spirit Beast's bodies.
It easily shattered the body of the Void Bloom and the brain of the Spirit Treasure Cicada, completely severing the life force of the two Spirit Beasts.
As the Void Bloom and the Spirit Treasure Cicada died completely, two deep and lonely black Spirit Ring slowly emerged on the corpses of the two Spirit Beasts.
Wu Tong didn't hesitate and directly activated his Spirit Ring, drawing both black Spirit Ring to his front.
With his eyes closed and mind focused, Wu Tong exhaled a breath of stale air and began the process of absorbing the Spirit Ring, putting the Spirit Ring in front of him on his body.
As Wu Tong absorbed the two black Spirit Ring, they began to float up and down, seemingly resisting Wu Tong's absorption.
However, even when they were alive, they were no match for Wu Tong, so after they died, they were even less able to fight back.
No matter how much the two Spirit Ring resisted, it was to no avail, and they were absorbed by Wu Tong little by little.
As Wu Tong absorbed the Spirit Ring, the King of Wisdom also began to analyze the two new, foreign Spirit Ring components.
"Notification: New Spirit Ring plugin detected, parsing in progress... Parsing successful... Acquired skills: Wisdom Hall, Absolute Focus, Photosynthesis, Devouring..."
Wu Tong ignored the mechanical voice of the King of Wisdom coming into his mind.
He knew that as long as the King of Wisdom began to analyze, he would definitely be able to obtain the Soul Skill he wanted. Therefore, Wu Tong shifted more of his attention to the energy of the Spirit Ring.
As the Limitless Source Convergence transformed his Soul Power, Wu Tong began to absorb the transformed energy.
Six hundred and twenty-one, six hundred and twenty-two... six hundred and thirty... six hundred and forty.
Finally, after absorbing all the energy from the two Spirit Rings, Wu Tong's body had twenty more acupoints filled.
——
On the side.
Xue Qinghe saw Wu Tong's actions and watched as Wu Tong began to absorb the Spirit Ring.
After a long while, realizing there was no obstacle, he regained his composure.
He then turned his attention to the two Immortal Herbs in his hand, his eyes flickering uncertainly.
The Heavenheart Hundred-leaf Orchid was prepared by Qian Renxue for herself, intending to use it to dispel her inner demons and eliminate the hidden dangers of her dual personality.
The Leaf of Life was exchanged by Xue Qinghe at the behest of Xue Ye.
In Xue Ye's eyes, her son was of good character and had a gentle and refined personality.
Moreover, he has always shown great respect to his father, the emperor, and always took the initiative to take care of him when he was sick, cooking medicine and soup for him. He is truly a model of filial piety.
If I could recover, Qinghe would probably be very happy, Xue Ye thought to herself.
However, what Xue Ye had no idea was that her son had long since become a different person, and that even her illness was caused by her beloved son.
If he knew that Xue Qinghe was poisoning him every time she brewed medicine or soup, he definitely wouldn't have let Xue Qinghe come to exchange for the Immortal Herb.
But things just happened so coincidentally. Not only did Xue Qinghe come, but the guards he arranged to accompany him were all spies planted by Xue Qinghe from the Spirit Hall.
This made Xue Qinghe sigh, it seems that Xue Ye is destined to die.
"The Leaf of Life prolong life and increase longevity."
"You've got a good plan, Xue Ye, but in the end, all this scheming will come to nothing."
"How can a prince reign for decades? It's time for me to sit on the throne."
"Since you're still not giving up while you're alive, then let you die completely."
"The way to die—being unable to withstand the infusion of Life Force and then exploding—is absolutely believable."
"And with a little more manipulation, the corpse can be completely reduced to ashes, making it impossible for you to Resurrection."
As he pondered, a cold glint flashed in Xue Qinghe's eyes as he stared coldly in the direction of the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace.
However, it's no wonder that Xue Qinghe planned to kill Xue Ye.
He had endured over a decade of hardship as an undercover agent, and was about to die from the Xue Ye.
Unexpectedly, this Xue Ye man, though old, still had a young heart and planned to live for several more decades.
Anyone would tolerate this, but Xue Qinghe certainly wasn't going to.
He planned to take this opportunity to kill Xue Ye, seize the throne completely, and then take control of the Heaven Dou Empire.
——
Just as Wu Tong was absorbing the Spirit Ring and acquiring skills, Xue Qinghe was plotting to kill Xue Ye.
In another world, a storm is brewing.
Gu Ruoli consciously exited the Dimensional Chat Group, looking at the Third Generation Angel gene she had obtained through a shady deal with He Xi.
My heart is filled with excitement, it hasn't been easy!
Although it didn't cost much, the feeling of being burdened with favors is really unpleasant.
Fortunately, it was all worth it; I was finally able to survive the early stages of this dangerous world.
With that in mind, Gu Ruoli no longer hesitated, fearing that something might go wrong.
Following He Xi's instructions, he drank the Gene Potion in his hand in one gulp.
"Hmm, it's sweet and sour, it tastes pretty good."
After drinking it, Gu Ruoli, who had expected the taste to be strange, did not experience any unusual flavor on her taste buds.
Upon closer inspection, it tasted more like a beverage, which caught her eye.
Then, just as she was wondering why her body hadn't changed at all, a wave of drowsiness suddenly washed over her.
Like an overwhelming force sweeping over Gu Ruoli's consciousness, the completely unprepared Gu Ruoli had no power to resist and immediately fainted.
