If they could form Soul Cores, their individual combat strength would likely rise by more than just one level!

Qian Renxin shook his head. "My current abilities are not enough to help you condense Soul Cores. Poison Douluo only succeeded because he already had an Inner Core foundation."

Hearing this,

Ling Yuan and the other two, who had been brimming with excitement moments ago, fell into disappointment.

Seeing their slight disappointment, Qian Renxin smiled.

"However, I have another piece of good news for you. For you, it should be an unquestionable opportunity."

"Please tell us, Young Master."

Ling Yuan spoke, her lively eyes fluttering with anticipation.

Given his status as an inheritor of divine power, even a tiny bit of benefit picked from beneath his fingernails would be enough for them to reap endless rewards.

Qian Renxin did not answer her immediately. Instead, he turned to Yue Guan. "Elder Ju, if I remember correctly, your Martial Soul is an Immortal Herb, right?"

Yue Guan covered his mouth and chuckled as he summoned his Martial Soul.

"You have an excellent memory, Young Master."

A massive chrysanthemum appeared in his palm, radiating a gorgeous golden-purple glow that felt noble and mysterious.

Qian Renxin nodded and continued, "Then you should be very familiar with Immortal Herbs."

Yue Guan did not understand what he meant, but he still admitted, "That's right. Ever since I accidentally consumed an Immortal Herb as a child and underwent Martial Soul Evolution, I have collected knowledge and rumors about Immortal Herbs from all over the world."

At this point, he placed a hand against his cheek, looking deeply saddened. "Unfortunately, Immortal Herbs are far too rare. Even now, I have yet to find another one..."

"That's enough. Follow me around this treasure land for a while."

After saying that, Qian Renxin took the lead.

Ling Yuan and the others hurried after him, though they were all deeply puzzled, unable to understand what this Young Master was up to.

Halfway through,

Yue Guan suddenly stopped in place, his eyes fixed fiercely on a golden flower.

Gui Mei beside him also stopped, his shock plain to see. "Chrysanthemum Guan, that's your Martial Soul..."

Yue Guan did not answer. He simply walked toward the golden flower step by step.

Though he possessed the body of a Titled Douluo, his steps now seemed somewhat unsteady.

He slowly bent down, holding his hand over the golden flower without touching its petals, his eyes filled with fervor.

"These stamens..."

"These petals..."

"This fierce fragrance..."

"There's no mistake... It's the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum. It's even older than the one I ate as a child!"

Chapter 13: Chrysanthemum Ghost and Ling Yuan Pledge Loyalty, Refining Immortal Herbs

Looking at the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum before him,

the excitement on Yue Guan's face grew increasingly exaggerated.

"If I can absorb that Immortal Herb, my Martial Soul will definitely undergo new changes. I might even become a Super Douluo immediately..."

As he thought this,

he felt tempted and reached out to refine the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum.

But he quickly regained his senses and withdrew his hand.

After Qian Renxin's wager with Dugu Bo, the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well now belonged to Qian Renxin, and the Immortal Herbs within naturally belonged to him as well.

"Put this Immortal Herb away first. We'll keep looking around."

Qian Renxin spoke calmly, not paying much attention to it.

Yue Guan carefully removed the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, not even damaging its roots. His eyes were filled with admiration.

"What an unparalleled treasure. Does that Old Poison Master have eyes on his ass? How could he leave such an Immortal Herb forgotten in a corner?"

"Perhaps he recognized it, but didn't dare consume it recklessly."

Qian Renxin casually replied.

Yue Guan nodded in agreement.

Other than people like him who had encountered Immortal Herbs, the vast majority knew nothing about them, since they were simply too rare.

Even if Dugu Bo had recognized the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum due to Yue Guan's Martial Soul, he would not have dared consume it casually, since he did not know its effects.

Holding the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum in his hand, Yue Guan felt immense regret.

Spirit Hall would most likely not distribute such a treasure to them. It would certainly be given priority to the Venerables.

As elders of Spirit Hall, their status could be high or low.

In the Soul Master World, they could command a hundred responses with a single call and could be called Dragons Among Men. Yet within Spirit Hall, they were firmly suppressed by the Venerables and found it difficult to obtain even a suitable soul bone.

After walking several hundred meters,

Yue Guan stopped again and rubbed his eyes in disbelief.

"That is... the Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone?"

"This treasure land is so miraculous that it actually has two Immortal Herbs at once..."

"Pick it. We're not done yet."

Qian Renxin could not be bothered to explain further and simply gave the order.

The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was one of the continent's three great treasure basins. The treasures within were astonishingly numerous.

Along the way that followed,

Yue Guan was so excited that he nearly fainted.

He had spent his entire life without finding another Immortal Herb.

Yet the Immortal Herbs within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well were so numerous that it was practically abnormal. With only a brief search, they had found more than twenty or thirty of them.

And that was without even searching the entire place.

Some Immortal Herbs had not yet matured enough, so Qian Renxin did not allow Yue Guan to pull them out.

"Is this heaven..."

Yue Guan muttered in a daze.

Everything he knew had been completely overturned. After entering the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Immortal Herbs were practically everywhere, like ordinary radishes.

"We've found enough for now, so let's take only these. We can come back when we need more."

Qian Renxin said blandly as he glanced at the Immortal Herbs inside the Soul Tool.

He had pulled out every Immortal Herb that appeared in the original work.

Together with the Immortal Herbs whose effects Yue Guan also knew, there were more than twenty or thirty in total. They were enough for the time being.

Yue Guan sighed sincerely.

"Young Master truly is one protected by the gods, to encounter such an opportunity..."

Gui Mei and Ling Yuan silently agreed.

From Yue Guan's explanations, they had also learned the uses of Immortal Herbs. They could not help but marvel that, with divine assistance, opportunities in this world were practically within reach.

"Just luck."

Qian Renxin casually replied, then took out three Immortal Herbs from his Soul Tool.

They were the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower, and the Nine-Rank Lingzhi.

"Those who see them get a share. The three elders have traveled with me for quite some time, and I will not be stingy. These three Immortal Herbs each have their own effects for you. Take them and enter seclusion. I will also cultivate at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well for a while."

The three exchanged glances, but no one dared step forward to accept them. They stood there awkwardly.

They certainly desired Immortal Herbs, but Qian Renxin was rewarding such peerless treasures so casually that they felt flattered beyond measure and even somewhat uneasy...

In the end, Gui Mei, as the chief elder, stepped forward and bowed.

"Young Master... shouldn't treasures like these be handed over to the Pope or Grand Venerable for a decision...?"

"There is no need. These Immortal Herbs are mine, and my grandfather and father will support my decision."

Qian Renxin shook his head. "I am rewarding these three Immortal Herbs to you. No one will raise any objections, so accept them without worry."

With that, he tossed the three Immortal Herbs to them.

The Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum naturally went to Yue Guan. Combined with his Martial Soul, it would produce the greatest effect.

Although the Nine-Grade Purple Ganoderma was somewhat inferior in quality to ordinary Immortal Herbs, its effects were equally astonishing. It could strengthen one's foundation, cultivate vitality, increase soul power, and improve innate talent. It would be highly useful to Gui Mei, whose innate talent was lacking.

As for the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower, there was even less need to explain. It was a perfect match for Ling Yuan's Blazing Fire Ling Yuan Martial Soul. It might even awaken a trace of phoenix bloodline and purify her Martial Soul.

Yue Guan and the other two hurriedly caught the Immortal Herbs, their hearts filled with endless gratitude.

Within Spirit Hall,

the status of elders was far below that of the Venerables. This was the first time anyone had valued them so highly.

All three knelt at once and bowed to Qian Renxin. "Thank you for your gift, Young Master."

The status of Titled Douluo was not low in either factions or empires. Whether before the Pope or an emperor, they were usually exempt from kneeling.

Their actions now

were not merely out of gratitude for receiving Immortal Herbs.

They were also pledging their loyalty to Qian Renxin.

Though he was only a child, he was already worthy of their early allegiance.

A master with limitless potential who was also exceptionally generous toward his subordinates was simply too rare for miserable workers like them.

Take Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo, for example.

After working diligently for half their lives, only Ghost Douluo had obtained a leg bone. Chrysanthemum Douluo did not even possess a single soul bone, so his combat strength could not possibly improve.

Qian Renxin nodded, fairly satisfied with the situation before him.

He was the Young Master of Spirit Hall, with a very high status. Most elders would obey him, and some Venerables would also step in to help him.

But he still needed to cultivate a few trusted confidants under his command.

Whether he inherited Spirit Hall in the future or handled everyday matters, it would be much more convenient.

He waved his hand, dismissing them.

"No need for such courtesy. Get up and find a place to enter seclusion. I will begin absorbing Immortal Herbs as well."

"Yes!"

The three rose to their feet and hurried off with their Immortal Herbs to find places for seclusion, their hearts brimming with joy.

Qian Renxin took out two more Immortal Herbs from his Spatial Soul Tool.

They were the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the Infernal Delicate Apricot.

These two Immortal Herbs were somewhat special. Consuming either one alone would not only bring no benefits, but would even result in extremely severe cold poison or fire poison.

If one truly became poisoned, even a Titled Douluo would struggle to escape death.

But if consumed together, they could forge the Ice Fire Twin Body. Not only would it greatly improve one's physical condition, but it would also grant a certain degree of resistance to ice and fire.

This had been one of Tang San's opportunities in the original work.

But now, it belonged to Qian Renxin. There would certainly be no second pair of fire- and cold-poison Immortal Herbs in the world.

And Qian Renxin did not merely intend to cultivate the Ice Fire Twin Body.

These two Immortal Herbs were the ultimate yin and ultimate yang, mutually generating and restraining each other.

Perhaps they could help him accelerate the refinement of the Good and Evil Origins and complete the first trial.
