Immortal Herb Record

"Xiao Xi, are you worried?"

Qian Daoliu looked at Ye Xi and asked softly.

Ye Xi nodded lightly at his words, meeting Qian Daoliu's gaze.

"What is there to worry about?"

Qian Daoliu gently stroked Ye Xi's hair. "Xiao Xi, even if you awaken a useless Martial Soul, you will still be my granddaughter and the Second Young Lady of the Worship Hall."

"And Grandpa believes that you will definitely awaken a very good Martial Soul."

Qian Daoliu's voice was filled with sincerity.

"Grandpa, you're so good to me."

Ye Xi reached out and hugged Qian Daoliu, a smile appearing on her delicate face.

"Come on. Grandpa will take you to see Yue Guan."

Qian Daoliu picked Ye Xi up and headed straight for the courtyard where Yue Guan lived.

Before long, the two arrived at a courtyard filled with flowers and plants. As soon as they entered, they saw Yue Guan sitting at a stone table, leisurely drinking tea.

"First Offering, Second Young Lady."

Seeing the two enter, Yue Guan hurriedly rose to his feet and respectfully bowed to Qian Daoliu.

"Yue Guan, Xiao Xi has recently become interested in medicinal herbs. You happen to be highly knowledgeable in these matters, so she would like to ask you a few questions."

Qian Daoliu waved his hand lightly to signal Yue Guan to rise, then casually found a place to sit in the courtyard.

"If the Second Young Lady wished to ask this subordinate something, she only needed to send someone to inform me. Why did the First Offering need to come personally?"

Yue Guan's somewhat feminine voice rang out. He then looked at Ye Xi and asked with a faint smile, "Second Young Lady, what would you like to ask?"

"I would not dare claim expertise in other matters, but when it comes to medicinal herbs or immortal herbs, I know nearly everything. I also have a family-inherited Immortal Herb Record, which contains extremely detailed records."

Yue Guan's voice brimmed with confidence.

At this, Ye Xi's Sapphire Blue eyes shifted slightly, and a faint smile appeared on her face.

"Chrysanthemum Elder, could you lend me your family-inherited Immortal Herb Record for a few days?"

"Rest assured, once I am done reading it, I will return it to you in perfect condition."

Ye Xi's eyes were full of anticipation.

Qian Daoliu also turned his gaze toward Yue Guan, though he said nothing and merely watched him quietly.

"Of course. Naturally, you may."

"Second Young Lady, please wait a moment. I will go get it for you right away."

With that, Yue Guan turned and walked straight back into his room to retrieve the Immortal Herb Record.

Ye Xi began examining the flowers and plants growing in the courtyard.

Soon, Yue Guan emerged with an ancient-looking book in hand.

"Second Young Lady, this is the Immortal Herb Record."

"Please, take it and read it."

Yue Guan handed the Immortal Herb Record to Ye Xi, a smile remaining on his face throughout.

"Then thank you, Chrysanthemum Elder."

Ye Xi thanked him and reached out to accept the Immortal Herb Record.

"Yue Guan, once Xiao Xi has finished reading it, I will have someone return the Immortal Herb Record."

"I'll take Xiao Xi back first."

As Qian Daoliu spoke, he stood and led Ye Xi toward the Worship Hall.

"Farewell, First Offering."

"Farewell, Second Young Lady."

Watching the two leave, Yue Guan bowed once more.

On the way back, Ye Xi flipped through the Immortal Herb Record as she walked, the corners of her lips gradually curving into a lovely smile.

This Immortal Herb Record is truly detailed.

It not only describes the effects of immortal herbs, but also the special techniques required to harvest them.

Ye Xi thought to herself, her Sapphire Blue eyes sparkling brightly.

With this Immortal Herb Record, as long as she awakened a Martial Soul that could be cultivated normally, it would be enough. Even if her talent was somewhat lacking, it would not matter.

When the time came, she could use immortal herbs suited to herself to raise the upper limit of her aptitude.

Of course, it would be best if she could awaken a good Martial Soul.

When they returned to the Worship Hall, Golden Crocodile was already seated in the main hall, waiting for them to return.

"Big Brother, the tools needed to awaken a Martial Soul have been prepared. We can begin at any time."

Golden Crocodile rose to his feet, several pitch-black stones in his hand.

"Xiao Xi, go to your Grandpa Golden Crocodile."

"Let your Grandpa Golden Crocodile awaken your Martial Soul."

As Qian Daoliu spoke, he sat down in the hall, poured himself a cup of clear tea, and waited quietly.

"Okay, Grandpa."

Ye Xi agreed and walked toward Golden Crocodile, stopping a short distance away from him.

Golden Crocodile tossed the stones in his hand toward Ye Xi. Under the influence of Soul Power, the black stones began revolving around her, and a pale golden curtain of light appeared, enveloping her within.

Standing inside the light curtain, Ye Xi felt her body grow intensely hot. Yet the sensation was not unpleasant; instead, it was warm and comfortable.

It was as if some terrifying power was slowly awakening.

Gradually, a blood-red glow appeared behind Ye Xi, accompanied by an aura of slaughter and despair.

The moment he sensed that aura, Qian Daoliu set down his teacup and fixed his gaze on Ye Xi, who was awakening her Martial Soul.

Behind Ye Xi, an Angel Martial Soul with three pairs of Black Wings slowly emerged.

"Big Brother, what Martial Soul is that?"

"Why does it feel so similar to the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul?"

Golden Crocodile walked over to Qian Daoliu's side and asked quietly.

Yet his gaze remained fixed on the Martial Soul behind Ye Xi. Her Martial Soul was extremely similar to the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul, with the only difference being the color of its wings.

The wings of the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul were a holy, pure white.

The wings of Ye Xi's Martial Soul, however, were pure black.

The other difference was the feeling they gave off. The Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul inspired a sense of holiness and nobility.

Ye Xi's Martial Soul instead gave off slaughter and profound despair.

"A branch of the Angel Martial Soul. It is a type of angel."

Qian Daoliu looked at the Martial Soul behind Ye Xi, a trace of contemplation appearing in his eyes.

But then he thought of it again. A Fallen Angel was also an angel, and this was the granddaughter he had raised since childhood. There seemed to be nothing to worry about.

After all, a Martial Soul was just a Martial Soul. Martial Souls were neither righteous nor evil; what mattered was the person who wielded them.

With that thought, a smile appeared on Qian Daoliu's face as he looked at Ye Xi with kind eyes.

"Xiao Xi, withdraw your Martial Soul. Let's test your Innate Soul Power."

Qian Daoliu took out a blue crystal ball and walked straight over to Ye Xi.

Ye Xi nodded lightly. After glancing at the Martial Soul behind her, she withdrew it and placed her hand on the blue crystal ball.

As Ye Xi moved, the blue crystal ball emitted a gentle glow.

"Innate Full Soul Power."

"Xiao Xi, your talent is excellent. If you cultivate diligently, you will definitely become one of the continent's strongest Soul Masters."

Looking at the light on the crystal ball, Qian Daoliu nodded in satisfaction.
