His current status was that of the Spirit Hall Pope, in charge of the Elder Hall.
Qian Renxin did not refuse this time.
Given his status,
having several elders accompany him to ensure his safety was already the bare minimum.
"Elder Ju, Elder Ghost, and Elder Ling Yuan."
After giving it some thought, Qian Renxin arrived at an answer he was satisfied with.
This combination was quite interesting.
Even if they encountered a powerful enemy,
as long as Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo used the Two Extremes Stillness Domain,
Spirit Kite Douluo, with her avian Martial Soul, could swiftly take him away from the battlefield. At the very least, his life would not be in danger.
Naturally, Qian Xunji had no reason to refuse.
He quickly left the hall to arrange the personnel.
Bibi Dong also hurried away.
She entered her private chambers and tightly shut the doors.
Using her Soul Power, she linked into her spiritual power.
Back when she had gone to the City of Slaughter, the Rakshasa God had secretly planted a thread of Divine Sense within her.
During the most desperate moment in the secret chamber,
the darkness in her heart had been completely stirred awake. The Rakshasa God had finally acknowledged her and chosen her as its inheritor.
At her initiative,
that wisp of Divine Sense began to emit black mist.
Bibi Dong understood that this meant the Rakshasa God had descended.
"Lord Rakshasa, may I ask what level of deities the God of Goodness and the God of Evil are?"
"Today, I encountered their inheritor. He possesses both the Divine Inheritance of Goodness and Evil, and he feels incredibly powerful."
The black mist on the Divine Sense stilled for a moment, as though it could not process such an overwhelming piece of information at once.
Finally,
it used divine power to form four large words before Bibi Dong.
Do not provoke him!
Hu Liena and Xie Yue
Staring at those densely packed black words,
Bibi Dong was shaken to the core.
Just what deity had Xin'er inherited for Lord Rakshasa to fear him so much...?
For the time being, she had indefinitely postponed her plans to take revenge on Qian Xunji...
Inside the Worship Hall,
"Big Brother is going to the Star Dou Great Forest? Xue'er wants to go too!" Qian Renxue rushed over, hugging Qian Renxin's arm as she spoke.
She was still only a six-year-old child.
Qian Xunji and Qian Daoliu were usually busy. Only Qian Renxin played with her every day.
Over time, the siblings had grown very close.
"Xue'er, your Six-winged Angel Martial Soul already has suitable soul rings to choose from in the Soul Hunting Grounds. There's no need for you to go to Star Dou to hunt soul rings."
Qian Daoliu said softly.
As the god-tier Martial Soul passed down by Spirit Hall,
many Light-attributed soul beasts that it needed were raised in the Soul Hunting Grounds.
Going to Star Dou would only be more trouble than it was worth.
Qian Renxue pouted without saying a word.
Qian Renxin rubbed her little head. Her golden hair was incomparably smooth, and he joined in persuading her. "Xue'er, you should choose your soul ring in the Soul Hunting Grounds. When I return, I'll bring you a gift."
"Fine..."
Qian Renxue could only accept the outcome. She held out her little finger. "Pinky promise. I'll be looking forward to Big Brother's gift."
"Don't worry. You'll definitely be satisfied." Qian Renxin smiled as he made the promise with her.
Once everything had been settled,
Qian Renxin left the Worship Hall and headed to Spirit Hall's orphanage.
After they had found Bibi Dong, a treasure with twin Martial Souls and exceptional cultivation talent,
Spirit Hall had begun taking in orphans to select children with the potential to become soul masters.
Of course,
children without the talent to become soul masters were not simply abandoned. They would be sent to learn trades in Spirit Hall's various businesses across the land, allowing them to barely make a living.
The moment he entered the orphanage,
a lively and adorable girl with dark golden hair ran toward him.
Though she was only four or five years old, her immature features already showed that she would grow into a great beauty.
"Brother Xin, why are you here? It's not the weekend yet, so I'm not allowed to leave the orphanage."
Qian Renxin did not rush to explain. He took a slice of cream cake from his Spatial Soul Tool and handed it to her.
"Thank you, Brother Xin."
Hu Liena accepted the cream cake, unable to hide the smile on her face.
Life in the orphanage was not particularly easy. They were basically given only enough resources to survive.
Being able to eat a piece of cake was already a rare treat for them.
Seeing Hu Liena eat so happily,
Qian Renxin finally explained with a faint smile.
"I'm going to the Star Dou Great Forest for the next couple of days to hunt soul beasts. I'm afraid I won't be able to visit for some time."
"How long?"
Cream stained Hu Liena's face as she continued asking.
"Mm... around half a year."
Qian Renxin gave a conservative estimate.
In truth, he was not just going to obtain soul rings. He had other matters to deal with as well.
Half a year would likely be far from enough.
"Half a year..."
Hu Liena thought for a moment, then asked worriedly, "The Star Dou Great Forest is very dangerous, right? I heard the teachers say that the soul beasts there are all terrifying..."
"Mm. I'm taking three Spirit Hall elders with me, so there won't be any danger." Qian Renxin sat on the steps and spoke softly.
"Then I'll go with you, Brother Xin. The orphanage is pretty boring too."
Hu Liena sat beside Qian Renxin and rested her head against his shoulder.
At her age, she was still far from developing a girl's romantic feelings.
For now, she merely regarded Qian Renxin as something like an older brother.
During the boring days at the orphanage,
Qian Renxin's strange and wonderful stories were her main source of entertainment.
"No, hunting soul beasts isn't some leisurely sightseeing trip."
Qian Renxin gently refused. "When you awaken your Martial Soul, I'll accompany you to Star Dou to hunt soul beasts."
Hu Liena did not make a fuss and instead asked another question.
"Alright... then can you tell me the ending of the last story? What happened to that villain named Tang San in the end?"
"Oh, Tang San was caught stealing someone else's things, and Xiao Yan smacked him to death with one strike of his ruler."
Qian Renxin continued, "Na'er, tell me, what lesson does this story teach us?"
"You can't be a petty person."
Hu Liena replied seriously, "And you can't be love-brained either."
Qian Renxin nodded in satisfaction and rubbed her little head.
Education had to start young. He did not want such a wonderful little sister to be stolen away by someone else.
Hu Liena greatly enjoyed Qian Renxin ruffling her hair and closed her eyes in contentment.
Just then,
footsteps sounded from behind them.
Qian Renxin turned around and saw a handsome, bewitching-looking youth with gray hair approaching.
The youth lowered his head slightly and greeted him. "Brother Xin, it seems you've already awakened your Martial Soul."
"You'll be awakening yours in the next couple of days too, right, Xie Yue?"
Qian Renxin stood and asked in return.
This was Hu Liena's older brother, Xie Yue.
In the future, he would be the most talented member of the Golden Generation, one of Spirit Hall's youngest Soul Kings, and the creator of the Self-Created Soul Skill, Full Moon.
If Tang San had not possessed protagonist-level cheats,
he alone could have crushed the Shrek Seven Monsters.
"Mm, a little later than you."
Xie Yue remained calm and composed as he continued, "Don't forget our competition. We'll see who can cultivate to Titled Douluo first."
Xie Yue was over a year older than Hu Liena and had reached the age to awaken his Martial Soul.
"I haven't forgotten. If you lose, hand your sister over to me."
Qian Renxin casually joked.
"You probably won't even need a bet. Once you grow up, you'll only need to crook a finger to whisk her away."
Xie Yue curled his lips.
He was clearly her biological brother, yet Hu Liena was now closer to Qian Renxin.
"Brother!"
Hu Liena cried out, a little embarrassed.
After they fooled around for a while,
Xie Yue took the initiative to ask, "What Martial Soul did you awaken? Don't tell me it's the same Angel Martial Soul as the Grand Venerable's?"
"No."
Qian Renxin shook his head.
Xie Yue secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He did not know much about the Six-winged Angel Martial Soul.
But based on the rumors alone, everyone who possessed this Martial Soul was an unparalleled genius among their peers, with cultivation speed that defied the heavens.
Since Qian Renxin did not possess the Six-winged Angel Martial Soul,
