The Spirit Saint was a little bewildered.

Why go to the Star Dou Great Forest to catch a Ghost Tiger?

Normally, if one wanted a Spirit Ring, they would go get it themselves!

But with the Great Enshrined Token involved, he did not dare question it.

He planned to ask his colleagues later what kind of person Lucifer was.

"May I ask what age Ghost Tiger you require, my lord?" he asked respectfully with a bow.

"A thousand years will do. Ten Thousand Years would be best!"

The Spirit Saint sighed in relief. Ghost Tigers were fast, but one of that age would not be difficult for him to catch.

"Once I catch it, where should I deliver the Ghost Tiger?"

"The Elder Hall!" With that, Lucifer turned and left.

The Spirit Saint's heart trembled!

The Elder Hall!

He truly was someone important! No wonder he carried the Great Enshrined Token!

Facing Lucifer's retreating back, the Spirit Saint hurriedly promised, "I will certainly complete the mission!"

Afterward, the Spirit Saint found a colleague.

"Do you know which lord Lucifer is?"

"Gasp!" His colleague drew in a sharp breath. "How do you know that name?"

The Spirit Saint became even more certain that Lucifer was no ordinary person, so he explained the mission to catch a Ghost Tiger.

His colleague fell silent for a long while.

He was one of the Spirit Saints who had accompanied Qian Renxue to the Star Dou Great Forest to add a Spirit Ring.

Those who had gone along had learned about Lucifer, including the agreement afterward.

After all, Lucifer often went out for walks, so they were quite likely to run into him.

His colleague slowly said, "I can't tell you the details. You only need to know that he is an important figure in the Elder Hall!"

An important figure in the Elder Hall!

The Spirit Saint grew even more curious about Lucifer, and even more reverent!

"Since he told you to catch a Ghost Tiger, just do your job properly!"

His colleague thought that since Lucifer had the Great Enshrined Token, it meant Qian Daoliu had tacitly approved of it!

The Spirit Saint nodded, thinking this was a rare opportunity to earn merit.

"What is this lord's title? He did not tell me at the time."

"Well..."

His colleague hesitated. "He has no title!"

"Hm? Could he merely be a Spirit Douluo?"

The Spirit Saint could not make sense of it. "Can a Spirit Douluo become an important figure in the Elder Hall?"

"Well... he is not a Spirit Douluo either!"

"..." The Spirit Saint's eyes were full of confusion.

Were the Elder Hall's important figures all this mediocre now?

"In any case, he is different from ordinary Soul Masters like us!"

Leaning close to the Spirit Saint's ear, his colleague whispered, "You only need to know that he is closely connected to the Qian Family!"

"Gasp! Could it be... he is the Great Enshrined's illegitimate son?" The Spirit Saint widened his eyes and lowered his voice.

His strength was not impressive, yet his status was high, and he was closely connected to the Qian Family!

That identity immediately came to mind.

His colleague hurriedly covered his mouth. "Don't make wild guesses! If those words get out, the consequences will be unthinkable!"

Unable to speak, the Spirit Saint quickly signaled with his eyes—I understand!

You understand nothing! His colleague looked utterly despairing.

"He really is not that kind of person!" His colleague removed his hand and said sternly.

The Spirit Saint looked equally serious. "Don't worry, I won't reveal that you told me this!"

He patted his chest, looking like a loyal brother.

A wave of helplessness washed over his colleague. But he could not reveal the truth.

After all, this concerned the life-and-death safety of Qian Renxue, the Young Master of Spirit Hall.

"I swear on my life that his identity is truly different from what you think!"

Seeing his colleague take such a stance, the Spirit Saint realized that he might truly have been barking up the wrong tree.

Qian Renxue had kept Lucifer's words from yesterday in mind.

While eating breakfast, she repeated Lucifer's words from yesterday to Qian Daoliu.

"Grandfather! Is what he said true?"

"..."

Qian Daoliu remained silent.

The moment he heard it, he knew it was true.

Because that method simply was not feasible!

Otherwise, why would Lucifer have said it?

Lucifer, with nothing but a soul body, was already enough to make him deeply wary!

How could Qian Renxue possibly cultivate her Spiritual Power to such a level?

Yet he still said, "It is true!"

"That's wonderful!" Qian Renxue was overjoyed and resolved to cultivate her Spiritual Power diligently!

One day, she would hold that evil Lucifer in her hand and use him as a toy!

Not long after breakfast, the residents of Spirit City began streaming toward the great square before the Pope's Palace.

Spirit Hall had announced that today, it would reveal a major discovery that could benefit every person across the entire continent!

More and more people gathered in the square until every corner was soon packed.

The Spirit Hall guards diligently maintained order.

Qian Xunjie arrived on the high platform before the Pope's Palace. Looking down at the crowd below, a smug smile rested on his lips.

He was a man who craved glory and achievement, especially matters that could bring tremendous prestige to himself and Spirit Hall.

Thinking of the praise he would receive after announcing the formula today, he instantly felt that the humiliation he had endured from Lucifer for the formula had been worth it!

If you wanted to shine before others, you had to suffer behind the scenes!

"The time has come." His voice was very soft, yet it spread throughout the entire square through Soul Power.

The square instantly fell silent.

Tens of thousands of eyes turned toward the platform, filled with anticipation, doubt, and, more than anything, barely concealed longing.

Spirit Hall and the Pope still commanded great trust in their hearts.

Qian Xunjie raised his hand, and a scroll glowing with faint blue light appeared out of thin air, floating above his palm.

"Today, Spirit Hall will publicly reveal the Blue Silver Transformation Technique to the entire continent."

Qian Xunjie's voice rang out loudly.

The crowd below immediately broke into discussion.

"Blue Silver Transformation Technique!"

"What is that?"

"Could it be related to Blue Silver Grass?"

"..."

From afar, Lucifer quietly watched his performance. "Blue Silver Transformation Technique... That's quite a name!"

As Qian Xunjie swept his gaze across the crowd's reactions, he suddenly met Lucifer's eyes in the distance!

"..." Thinking of how humiliated he had been back then, the high-spirited Qian Xunjie felt a faint trace of awkwardness.

Fortunately, he was shameless enough.

"Cough, cough!"

"After years of research, one of Spirit Hall's masters has finally developed a secret formula that can transform Blue Silver Grass into rare medicinal herbs!"

A wave of shocked cries erupted across the square!

Blue Silver Grass—the most common and inconspicuous plant on the continent—could actually be turned into rare medicinal herbs?

Qian Xunjie unfurled the scroll, and a beam of blue light shot into the sky, forming a massive projection of text overhead so that even the farthest spectators could see it clearly.

"From this day onward, any Soul Master, regardless of background or talent, can use these ten formulas to transform the ubiquitous Blue Silver Grass into rare medicinal herbs needed for cultivation!"

"Even ordinary people can use them to strengthen their vitality, recover from injuries, and prolong their lives!"

The cries of astonishment in the square came wave after wave like surging tides!

Countless eyes were fixed on the enormous blue text projection in the air.

The text flickered with strange light as the ten formulas appeared one after another, each listing in detail the steps for processing Blue Silver Grass and the required supplementary materials.

People feared missing any important information!

In the distance, Lucifer looked with satisfaction at the Repulsion Value display on the subsystem panel.

"Very good! It's starting to rise!"
