Falling Stones Stir Up Waves

The moment the formulas were presented to the public, the butterfly's wings began to flap!

Eighteen Juicing Methods of Blue Silver Grass was a massive boulder cast into still waters!

As time passed, the changes in countless ordinary people's daily lives would bring an impact to this world no less profound than changes in the fates of important figures!

The Repulsion Value had only risen a little for now, but it would grow more and more in the future!

This was the greatest benefit Lucifer gained from publishing the formulas.

Additionally, Qian Renxue would also be affected by this matter.

No matter how outsiders viewed it, publishing the formulas was an act that benefited the continent, the sort of thing only a great saint would do!

Yet in Qian Renxue's eyes, Lucifer was a Fallen Angel who represented darkness and was evil by nature!

For someone like him to do something like this would certainly shake her immature beliefs.

After going through something like this, could she still distinguish light from darkness so clearly?

Things were just as Lucifer had expected!

On a nearby height, Qian Renxue stood beside Qian Daoliu, and together they watched the scene in the square before the Pope's Palace.

"Grandfather! Why do you think Lucifer published the formulas without asking for anything in return?"

"I don't know. But he must be gaining some kind of benefit from it!"

Qian Daoliu's gaze was profound.

If repeated testing had not revealed that there was nothing wrong with these formulas, he would never have allowed Qian Xunjie to publish them on behalf of Spirit Hall!

Though Qian Renxue did not quite understand, she still nodded.

But a seed had already been planted in her heart, waiting for the day it sprouted!

On the high platform, Qian Xunjie continued his introduction. "These ten formulas can turn Blue Silver Grass into medicinal ingredients with different effects, depending on its age and the method of preparation."

"..."

Among the crowd were no shortage of spies from forces such as the Two Great Empires and Seven Great Sects. Each of them was puzzled, unable to understand why Spirit Hall was doing such a good deed.

"Could Spirit Hall be trying to win people's hearts and build prestige?"

"Once the gathering is over, we must immediately return and report this!"

After the crowd dispersed and the news spread, the prices of the supplementary herbs in the formulas began to soar wildly, soon sparking a buying frenzy throughout Spirit City!

The Blue Silver Grass that had once been ignored by everyone had now become a treasure people rushed to gather!

Whether ordinary civilians or Soul Masters, all joined this frenzied harvesting effort—Blue Silver Grass in the countryside was nearly harvested clean!

Every household began stockpiling Blue Silver Grass!

Lucifer merely smiled and shook his head at this. "What's the point of stockpiling ordinary Blue Silver Grass? It grows fast anyway. In ten days or half a month, there'll be another crop!"

"Besides, what use is Blue Silver Grass alone? You still need supplementary herbs to bring out its effects!"

If Blue Silver Grass could work by itself, it would not have borne the label of "useless" for so many years!

Even ordinary Blue Silver Grass had become so sought-after! There was even less need to mention Blue Silver Grass containing Soul Power!

Quite a few Soul Master teams even risked venturing deep into the Star Dou Great Forest, all to search for those rare Blue Silver Grass plants containing Soul Power!

This wave spread outward from Spirit City, sweeping across the entire Douluo Continent!

It affected not only ordinary citizens and Soul Masters, but even forces such as the Two Great Empires, Seven Great Sects, and major clans!

Heaven Dou Imperial Palace.

A group of imperial physicians from the Imperial Medical Institute were preparing finished products such as Red Heart Blue Silver Liquid according to the formulas, then verifying their effects one by one!

Xue Ye sat nearby, quietly watching from his chair.

Xue Qinghe stood respectfully at his side.

After the news from Spirit City arrived, Xue Ye had immediately set aside all state affairs and come to the Imperial Medical Institute.

As an emperor, he was extremely sensitive to the impact these formulas could bring!

As time passed, the imperial physicians gradually delivered their results.

"Red Heart Blue Silver Liquid, its effects match the formula's description!"

"Blue Silver Tendon Drink, its effects match the formula's description!"

"..."

Xue Ye's expression was solemn as he looked at Xue Qinghe beside him.

"Qinghe, how do you think the empire should respond next?"

Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Ning Fengzhi likewise immediately assembled a group of people to verify the effects of these formulas.

There was no need to say more about the result.

Gu Rong was the first to speak. "Fengzhi, this matter is definitely not so simple!"

"Would Spirit Hall really be this kindhearted? They must be brewing some kind of conspiracy!"

Ning Fengzhi also felt that things were not so simple.

But after pondering for a long time, he still could not figure out what sort of scheme Spirit Hall could possibly have in this matter.

After all, these formulas were easy to verify, and it would be difficult to tamper with them.

In the end, he slowly said, "Uncle Bone, perhaps we really have judged a gentleman's heart by our own petty standards!"

"Perhaps Spirit Hall truly just wants to benefit the continent for once!"

As he spoke, Ning Fengzhi smiled. "It seems my opinion of Qian Xunjie was somewhat biased in the past!"

"To think he has the courage to do something like this!"

"He does somewhat resemble that generation's Pope, the one who decided to distribute gold coins to Soul Masters!"

Clear Sky Sect.

After the news from Spirit City arrived, the Clear Sky Sect's upper echelons gathered together.

After verifying the formulas' effects, they too were suspicious of Spirit Hall's intentions, but likewise reached no conclusion.

Second Elder suggested, "Sect Master, since the effects of these formulas have been confirmed beyond doubt, there's no need to overthink it!"

"We should quickly organize the sect disciples and gather some rare Blue Silver Grass from the Soul Beast forests!"

The Clear Sky Sect Master nodded slightly, then looked at his son, Tang Xiao.

"Xiao'er, lead the sect disciples to the Star Dou Great Forest and gather some rare Blue Silver Grass!"

"Places where thousand-year and Ten Thousand Years Blue Silver Grass grow are either seldom visited by people or guarded by powerful Soul Beasts!"

"You returned two years before the end of your training period. Consider this another chance for you to train!"

"Yes!" Tang Xiao bowed and accepted the order. "I will definitely bring back Blue Silver Grass of the highest quality for the sect!"

I wonder whether I'll have a chance to see Hao Di and Ah Yin on this trip... Tang Xiao thought.

Qian Xunjie had always ordered people to keep a close watch on the movements of forces such as the Two Great Empires and Seven Great Sects.

When he learned that these forces had all independently organized teams of Soul Masters to search for rare Blue Silver Grass, he chuckled.

"Since you already understand the value of these formulas, the upcoming negotiations should go very smoothly!"

Qian Xunjie fell into thought.

What conditions should he demand from these forces?

How could he make the eight rare formulas that followed worth their value?

If Lucifer had not strongly insisted, Qian Xunjie would never have been willing to use the last eight formulas to trade with these forces.

Suddenly, Qian Xunjie thought of another crucial question—

"After trading the formulas for benefits from them, should I share some with Lucifer?"

"Hmm... would he even care about such things?"

"After all, he doesn't even care about formulas this precious!"

After struggling with it for a long while, Qian Xunjie still decided to ask Lucifer whether he wanted a share of the benefits, though he was somewhat reluctant.
