Light and Darkness Begin to Intertwine

Qian Renxue's expression gradually turned solemn.

She assumed Lucifer would definitely make an extremely excessive demand.

As the heir to Spirit Hall, she had been taught by Qian Daoliu ever since she could remember.

How could she fail to see the benefits this book could bring?

Any condition equivalent to those benefits would certainly not be simple!

"Go on, what is your condition?" Qian Renxue felt filled with a sense of sanctity.

This was the first time she was handling an important matter for Spirit Hall!

"You cannot keep this book to yourselves. You must spread it!" Lucifer said seriously.

"Hm?" Qian Renxue was greatly surprised. "Why?"

"I want everyone on the Douluo Continent to be influenced by it!"

"You'd really be that kind?" Qian Renxue voiced her doubts again.

"Anyway, that's my condition!" Lucifer could not be bothered to explain. He turned and left.

Even if Spirit Hall refused, he could accomplish this himself.

He was only having Spirit Hall do it because he was too lazy to handle it himself.

Watching his retreating back, Qian Renxue fell into self-doubt.

"Could he really be a good person?"

Qian Renxue understood the value of these formulas. Spreading them was equivalent to benefiting the entire continent.

Normally, only great sages would do such things!

The young Qian Renxue did not understand the complexity of human nature.

Her world was still at the stage where light and darkness were forever clearly divided.

Yet Lucifer, who had always presented himself as a great villain, was doing something like this!

It threw Qian Renxue's black-and-white thinking into confusion. From this point onward, light and darkness began to show signs of intertwining!

Lucifer's figure gradually vanished from sight, and Qian Renxue stopped letting her thoughts run wild.

"I should discuss this with Father first!"

Qian Renxue headed toward the Pope's Palace. Qian Daoliu had long since stopped involving himself in such worldly affairs.

Pope's Palace.

Qian Xunjie accepted the book Qian Renxue handed him.

After glancing at the title, Qian Xunjie chuckled.

"Xue'er! Where did you pick up such a strange and boring book? Some street stall?"

Under normal circumstances, he would have scolded Qian Renxue for wasting her time on this kind of miscellaneous book!

But after being influenced by Lucifer, he had learned to restrain himself and avoid stirring up negative emotions in Qian Renxue whenever possible.

"Lucifer gave it to me!"

"Hm?" Qian Xunjie's expression turned solemn.

Anything involving Lucifer—even a mere miscellaneous book—made him think of all sorts of sinister schemes!

He opened Eighteen Juicing Methods of Blue Silver Grass and began reading.

"Strong vitality..."

"What? That useless Blue Silver Grass actually has such uses?"

He continued flipping through the pages.

"...Blue Silver Active Factor... Soul-Guided Centrifugal Technology..."

Qian Xunjie frowned deeply.

With Your Eminence the Pope's extensive life experience, he actually could not understand it!

Qian Renxue keenly noticed this, because she had been the same before.

"Father, this part is the theoretical foundation. It's a bit advanced, so it's normal not to understand it!"

"There are practical procedures later on. Those are easier to understand!"

Qian Xunjie looked at Qian Renxue, who thought she was being very considerate, with a somewhat complicated gaze.

His dignity as a father had shattered all over the floor!

He gave a dry cough, ignored the awkward atmosphere, and continued reading.

The earlier contents had already piqued his interest in the book.

"Red Heart Blue Silver Liquid!"

"Blue Silver Tendon Drink!"

"..."

Qian Xunjie's expression became increasingly astonished.

When he saw the final formula, his pupils constricted!

"Blue Silver Emperor Blood!"

"Revive the dead, regrow flesh on bones!"

He closed the book, his gaze solemn. "Xue'er! Is everything written here true?"

"I've already tried the Red Heart Blue Silver Liquid. Its effects are comparable to high-grade tonics!"

"As for the later ones, I haven't tried them yet! Lucifer said we could test them ourselves!"

Upon hearing that, Qian Xunjie immediately wrote down several ingredients and tools on a sheet of paper.

"Guards!"

A guard entered the hall. "Greetings, Your Eminence the Pope!"

"Gather all these things for me within half an hour!" Qian Xunjie flung the sheet of paper at him.

"Yes!"

Soon, Spirit Hall's guards piled all the ingredients and tools inside the Pope's Palace.

"Do as I say..."

Qian Xunjie began directing the guards.

After some time, he obtained a pot of Blue Silver Tendon Drink.

"Come here!" Qian Xunjie summoned a guard before him.

Soul Power gathered in his hand as he roughly injured one of the guard's hand meridians.

The guard clenched his teeth tightly, not even daring to cry out in pain.

"Drink it!" Qian Xunjie pointed at the pot of Blue Silver Tendon Drink.

He wanted to see whether this formula, based mainly on Blue Silver Grass Extract, could truly repair meridians!

The guard picked up the pot of Blue Silver Tendon Drink and gulped it down until he could drink no more.

"Tell me immediately if that meridian reacts in any way!"

"Yes!"

Qian Xunjie waited patiently for the medicine to take effect.

The guard stood beside the Pope, feeling extremely uneasy.

At last, the medicine took effect, and the guard felt a reaction in his meridian.

"Your Eminence the Pope, the meridian that was injured just now feels itchy, and there's also a very warm sensation, as if..."

The guard sounded uncertain. "It seems that meridian is slowly recovering!"

Qian Xunjie's eyes lit up!

It actually worked!

"It only used fifty-year Blue Silver Grass Extract and a few other common materials!"

"Yet it can achieve the effects of rare medicinal herbs! This formula is not simple!"

The way Qian Xunjie looked at the book was now somewhat different from before!

"Continue testing the others!"

They continued experimenting within the Pope's Palace, testing all the simpler formulas.

The sun set in the west, and the sky gradually darkened.

When the experiments ended, only Qian Xunjie and his daughter remained in the Pope's Palace once more.

By now, Qian Xunjie attached the utmost importance to Eighteen Juicing Methods of Blue Silver Grass!

"Xue'er! Why did Lucifer give you such a book?" Qian Xunjie was deeply puzzled.

"I don't know why either, but he has one condition!"

"Oh?" Qian Xunjie narrowed his eyes slightly. He knew it would not be that simple.

"We must spread this book across the continent!"

"What?" Qian Xunjie's voice suddenly rose.

He did not understand!

At first, he had thought Lucifer would make some very difficult demand!

Of course, this condition was also somewhat difficult for Your Eminence the Pope—mainly because he did not want to do it!

He wanted to keep it for himself and make it Spirit Hall's exclusive advantage!

"Why would he do this?"

"What benefit does it bring him?"

Qian Renxue shook her head. "He didn't say anything about that!"

Qian Xunjie could not figure it out no matter how hard he thought.

A Fallen Angel, evil by nature, would actually do something like this!

Because of the information gap, he could not see at all what benefit this brought Lucifer!

Qian Xunjie truly could not bear to give away such precious formulas for nothing!

Wouldn't that be a sin!

"No!" Qian Xunjie strode out of the Pope's Palace.

"I need to talk to him! See if we can change the condition!"

Watching Qian Xunjie's retreating back, the young Qian Renxue felt somewhat confused.

Wasn't spreading the formulas also a good thing?
