Douluo: One Thought of God and Demon, Inheriting the Dual God Positions of Good and Evil

Qian Renxin pinched her little cheek. It felt as soft as a cream puff as he smiled and persuaded her:

"I'm already a level thirty-five Soul Elder. If you don't absorb the Immortal Herb, I'll definitely leave you even farther behind."

"Don't worry. Even after the Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid is absorbed, its strengthening effects will remain with you. You might even retain the fragrance of orchids—it won't disappear completely."

Qian Renxue was initially stunned by Qian Renxin's advancement.

She had thought he had been constantly hunting soul beasts, so his Soul Power advancement might have been delayed. She never expected his progress to be even greater than hers.

Then, she stopped being coy, picked up the Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid, and nodded.

"Alright, I'll absorb the Immortal Herb now. I still want to travel the continent with Brother. I can't let myself be left behind."

After chatting for a few more moments,

Qian Renxin left the Worship Hall.

When the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger saw him emerge, it eagerly raised its head.

Qian Renxin did not delay any longer. He had Yue Guan take the Spirit Hall Young Master's token and bring it to Spirit Hall's private Soul Hunting Grounds to choose several ten-thousand-year soul beasts.

Yue Guan did not make much of a fuss. He took the token and accepted the order.

Ten-thousand-year soul beasts were certainly immensely valuable.

Even after ten thousand years of inheritance, the Soul Hunting Grounds cultivated by Spirit Hall only contained a few dozen ten-thousand-year soul beasts. Only hall masters with extraordinary merit were qualified to hunt them, and they had to exchange a considerable amount of merit as well.

But Qian Renxin had casually given away several Immortal Herbs worth tens of millions.

Surely neither the Pope nor the Grand Venerable would care about a mere few soul beasts.

After Yue Guan left,

Qian Renxin brought Gui Mei, Ling Yuan, Rou Tu, and Xiao Wu to the soul master academy in Spirit City.

This was the place where Spirit Hall specifically trained soul masters. Soul masters who had just awakened their martial souls were often sent here.

Rou Tu looked around before leaning close to Qian Renxin's ear and quietly asking,

"Master, is this where Xiao Wu will go to school in the future?"

"Yes, that's right. I'll arrange for her to enter here and train as a soul master of Spirit Hall."

Qian Renxin nodded. "As long as her soul beast identity isn't exposed, she'll be absolutely safe here. Spirit Hall won't assign missions to geniuses who haven't yet grown up, and no faction would dare lay a hand on Spirit Hall's geniuses."

Xiao Wu was the transformed form of a hundred-thousand-year Soft Bone Rabbit, so her Innate Soul Power was naturally at the maximum level. Her talent could be considered top-tier as well.

Even without relying on his status as Young Master, Spirit Hall's academy would certainly not turn down a student like her.

"No..."

Xiao Wu hid in Rou Tu's arms and muttered, "I want to stay with Mama..."

Qian Renxin said nothing.

He did not particularly care.

Xiao Wu's safety had nothing to do with him. One Soft Bone Rabbit soul spirit was enough; two would only waste a soul ring slot.

Rou Tu, on the other hand, was quite satisfied with this arrangement. She stroked Xiao Wu's head. "Xiao Wu, stay here and become a soul master for now. Remember to hide your soul beast identity well. I'll come visit you often."

Since even her mother said so, Xiao Wu lowered her head and stopped talking.

Seeing that they had made their decision,

Qian Renxin instructed Ling Yuan, who stood nearby, "Ling Yuan, take Xiao Wu in and register her. Say she's a child you found and that you've accepted her as your disciple. Your status should be enough."

"Yes."

Ling Yuan clasped her hands and accepted the order. Then she looked at Xiao Wu with a smile. "Come with me, little girl. I'll take you to register at the academy."

Xiao Wu was reluctantly led away by Ling Yuan.

Rou Tu sighed.

She was also worried about not being able to stay by Xiao Wu's side.

But there was no other choice.

A beast under another's roof had no choice but to bow its head.

After watching Ling Yuan take Xiao Wu away,

Qian Renxin turned and left as well, arriving before a courtyard in Spirit City.

Spirit Hall allocated resources according to talent.

And for top geniuses like Xie Yue, they naturally enjoyed the highest treatment, even receiving a courtyard within Spirit City for cultivation.

The gray-haired youth in the courtyard noticed him and smiled faintly as he bowed in greeting.

"Brother Xin, you're back. We haven't seen each other for a year."

"Mm. It took a year, but I finally dealt with my soul rings."

Qian Renxin smiled and sat down in the courtyard.

A whole year just to deal with soul rings?

Xie Yue was doubtful.

As a genius with level nine Innate Soul Power, Spirit Hall had only spent half a month helping him select his first soul ring.

Qian Renxin's treatment could only be better than his, not worse.

How could it possibly have taken a year to obtain his first soul ring...

"You should have awakened your martial soul long ago, right?" Qian Renxin casually asked, changing the subject.

Xie Yue nodded. "Just one month after you left, I awakened my Moon Blade martial soul. My Innate Soul Power is level nine."

Chapter 36: Xie Yue's Gratitude, Treasure Pavilion Whale Rubber

Qian Renxin nodded without surprise.

With Xie Yue's talent, level nine Innate Soul Power was perfectly normal.

As for not possessing Innate Full Soul Power, that did not mean he was inferior to people like Feng Xiaotian.

After all, a soul master's talent could not be judged solely by Innate Soul Power. Many soul masters were not born with Innate Full Soul Power yet still reached the rank of Titled Douluo.

"Oh, right, Na'er awakened her martial soul too."

Xie Yue continued, "She inherited Mother's martial soul, the Demon Fox martial soul. Her Innate Soul Power is the same as mine. A few days ago, she was taken away by Spirit Hall's Holy Maiden and accepted as her disciple."

Spirit Hall's Holy Maiden?

Qian Renxin immediately thought of Bibi Dong.

He did know from the original work that Bibi Dong had taken Hu Liena as her disciple.

Because Qian Daoliu felt guilty, he had granted Bibi Dong considerable freedom and had even retained part of her authority as Holy Maiden.

Naturally, he would not say anything about Bibi Dong accepting Hu Liena as her disciple.

Qian Renxin took out a pitch-black herb from his Spatial Soul Tool and casually tossed it to him.

"This is Moon Shadow Grass. It can help enhance the sharpness and concealment of your Moon Blade martial soul. It's only a few thousand years old. You can't absorb herbs with overly potent medicinal effects yet."

"Moon Shadow Grass?"

Xie Yue sensed the Soul Power hidden within it, which actually resonated with his martial soul. He immediately understood that it was a treasure.

He gripped the Moon Shadow Grass in his hand and clasped his hands in thanks. "Thank you, Brother Xin. I'll shamelessly accept this Moon Shadow Grass. I'll repay this favor someday."

"No need to be so polite with me."

Qian Renxin waved his hand.

At the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well,

herbs that were only a few thousand years old had barely escaped the category of weeds. He generally could not even be bothered to bring them along.

If Hu Liena and Xie Yue had not been unable to absorb medicinal effects that were too powerful, he would have given them herbs at least ten thousand years old.

Then he took out the precious herb he had prepared for Hu Liena from his Soul Tool. "Keep this for Na'er first. Give it to her when she returns."

After bidding farewell to Xie Yue,

Qian Renxin prepared to stroll around the city.

Spirit City was the most prosperous city on the entire continent. As long as one had enough Gold Soul Coins, one could purchase almost any treasure there. Even rare soul bones occasionally appeared at auction houses.

Gui Mei and Rou Tu followed behind him.

Qian Renxin turned and asked, "Gui Mei, is there any place in Spirit City that sells rare treasures?"

"There is, but if Young Master needs anything, wouldn't it be better to ask His Holiness the Pope? How could the shops in Spirit City compare to Spirit Hall's reserves?"

Gui Mei suggested instead.

As a top-tier force that had existed for twenty thousand years, Spirit Hall's treasure vault held an astonishing amount of resources.

"No, I'll browse around first," Qian Renxin said.

Of course, he knew Spirit Hall had abundant reserves.

But what he was looking for was something Spirit Hall might not have much of, since ordinary soul masters generally had no use for it.

Gui Mei did not dare say more and led Qian Renxin to a shop called Treasure Pavilion.

The shop was not small. Land in Spirit City was worth every inch of its price, and the fact that it could operate such a large establishment showed that it had some real strength.

When the shopkeeper, who had been working an abacus, saw the three of them enter,

he immediately stood up and enthusiastically greeted them.

"Three honored guests, what do you need?"

He walked to the display case and pointed at the treasures inside. "Armor forged by disciples of Divine Craftsmen, treasures that can help increase Soul Power—our Treasure Pavilion has them all."

In this line of work, the most important thing was having a keen eye. Being able to recognize a customer's status was the true skill of a merchant.

And whether in attire or bearing, Qian Renxin and the other two were all extraordinary.

The shopkeeper immediately guessed that they were no ordinary people and suspected that Qian Renxin was a disciple from some sect or clan.

Qian Renxin casually glanced over the goods, thinking that they were indeed all trash.

The so-called herbs that could aid cultivation were probably less than a thousand years old. At the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, they could only be considered weeds.

He really was an important figure...

The shopkeeper was secretly alarmed.

These treasures were the finest items in his store, yet in Qian Renxin's eyes, they were not even worth a second glance.

"Do you have Whale Rubber?"

Qian Renxin stated his true purpose and asked.

At present, soul masters did not fully understand Whale Rubber and did not know it could help improve a soul master's physical constitution.

It was generally only used by nobles as an aphrodisiac, with effects similar to Viagra.

"Yes, we do."

The shopkeeper nodded repeatedly, though he was puzzled.

He had thought Qian Renxin would ask for some peerless treasure like a soul bone. He never expected it to be merely Whale Rubber for boosting virility.

He was not curious about Qian Renxin buying Whale Rubber at such a young age.

Qian Renxin's appearance and build already resembled that of a teenage boy.

On the Douluo Continent,

it was not strange for someone that age to marry and have children.

Those nobles were even more outrageous, often beginning to deflower their personal maidservants when they were barely ten or so.

"May I ask what age you need?"

The shopkeeper remained enthusiastic as he continued, "If I were to recommend something, at your age, young master, a few decades' worth would be enough just to spice things up."

Qian Renxin continued asking, "What's the highest age you have in your store?"
