You've Come Upon an Enormous Stroke of Luck

Lucifer handed the goblet to the guard. "Another glass!"

The guard took the cup and continued draining the Ghost Tiger's blood.

Did all important people have such strange tastes?

The guard did not understand, but he respected it.

After the guard brought over another glass of Ghost Tiger blood, Lucifer drained it in one gulp again.

Qian Xunjie noticed that his body had become even more solid, with no trace of illusoriness left!

If he had not known about Lucifer's condition, he would have assumed Lucifer was a lifeform that truly existed on a physical level!

Lucifer examined himself and smiled in satisfaction.

He looked at Qian Renxue. "Can you feel it?"

Qian Renxue nodded. "Mm! The Soul Power consumption has dropped a lot more. I can barely feel it now!"

Lucifer looked at Qian Xunjie. "Did you hear that?"

"Hm?" Qian Xunjie looked puzzled.

"Send another team of Soul Masters into the Star Dou Great Forest. Catch more Ghost Tigers and raise them in captivity!"

"Hmph!" Qian Xunjie's face darkened.

Was he really giving orders to the dignified Your Eminence the Pope so casually?

Lucifer did not say anything more.

Qian Xunjie would definitely do it!

Because it would not only benefit himself, but also greatly benefit Qian Renxue.

"If possible, it would be best to capture the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger as well," Lucifer added.

Qian Xunjie's eyes instantly widened. "Do you know how hard that thing is to catch?"

"The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger in the Star Dou Great Forest only has sixty thousand years of cultivation, but it's even harder to deal with than a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast!"

"Even if several Titled Douluo went after it, it would be difficult to catch if it was determined to flee!"

Lucifer looked at him with disdain.

Useless. He couldn't even catch a Soul Beast!

Qian Xunjie: "..."

In a small town near Haagen-Dazs City, north of the Star Dou Great Forest.

Tang Hao returned to their temporary lodging in high spirits.

Seeing this, Ah Yin smiled. "What good thing happened to make you so happy?"

"It's not me who stumbled upon something good. It's you!"

Tang Hao excitedly grabbed Ah Yin's hand.

Ah Yin's pretty face flushed slightly, and she gave a dry cough.

Only then did Tang Hao awkwardly release her hand.

At this point, Ah Yin had yet to pierce through the final veil between them.

Tang Hao was too straightforward by nature and did not really know how to move their relationship forward.

Ah Yin had planned to clarify their relationship over dinner today and reveal her identity as a Soul Beast.

But Tang Hao's words left her rather confused.

"I stumbled upon something good?"

"Mm!" Tang Hao nodded heavily.

"When I went to Haagen-Dazs City today, I found that the entire continent was talking about one thing!"

Ah Yin grew even more curious. "What is it?"

"Come to think of it, this matter is related to Spirit Hall!"

Tang Hao looked confused. "I never expected Spirit Hall to do something this good!"

"They released something called the Blue Silver Transformation Technique. There are ten formulas in total!"

"The Blue Silver Transformation Technique?" Ah Yin frowned slightly, seized by a bad feeling.

"Mm!" Tang Hao began explaining, describing it all in detail.

After hearing him out, Ah Yin was greatly shocked.

She never expected someone to discover this trait of Blue Silver Grass and even use supplementary herbs to bring it out!

Then, she began to worry.

Now that this trait of Blue Silver Grass had been put to use, wouldn't her people...

They might as well have continued being treated as worthless trash!

Just as she expected, Tang Hao continued, "Now, all ordinary people and Soul Masters across the continent are harvesting Blue Silver Grass everywhere!"

"Ordinary people are harvesting ordinary Blue Silver Grass, while Soul Masters are forming teams to search Soul Beast forests for rare Blue Silver Grass!"

"Even the major powers have begun organizing teams of Soul Masters!"

As he spoke, Tang Hao smiled. "I imagine our Clear Sky Sect is assembling teams of Soul Masters too!"

Ah Yin's heart tightened.

It would be terrible if someone discovered that Blue Silver Forest!

My people...

Tang Hao did not notice Ah Yin's abnormality and continued excitedly, "Guess why I specifically said this is a good thing for you?"

"How is this a good thing for me?" Ah Yin felt bitter inside.

This not only raised the value of her people, but raised her own value by another level as well!

Tang Hao explained, "Because this has raised the status of you Blue Silver Grass Soul Masters!"

"In the past, even if someone awakened a Blue Silver Grass martial soul and had Soul Power, they would still be considered to have no future!"

"But things are different now. After awakening Blue Silver Grass, as long as they have any Soul Power at all, their future will be bright!"

"Because even half a rank of Soul Power is enough to produce Blue Silver Grass with Soul Power!"

"Now, every power is looking for people who awakened Blue Silver Grass and possess Soul Power!"

"Some people who were previously destined for ordinary lives have now risen to greatness!"

"Those powers will certainly spend heavily to nurture them and raise their levels as much as possible!"

"Moreover, the continent generally believes that the most suitable path for Blue Silver Grass Soul Masters is to develop toward the food system!"

Tang Hao was brimming with excitement, but there was not a trace of joy on Ah Yin's face.

Tang Hao asked in confusion, "Ah Yin? Why aren't you happy about something this wonderful?"

"I've never seen a Blue Silver Grass Soul Master who could cultivate to your level!"

"You should be the strongest Blue Silver Grass Soul Master on the entire continent, right?"

"I don't even dare imagine how much benefit this could bring you!"

Ah Yin was full of bitterness, but she did not know how to explain it.

She did not even dare imagine how much danger to her life this matter could bring!

When she remained silent, Tang Hao grew worried. "Ah Yin, what's wrong?"

"Nothing!" Ah Yin could only make an excuse. "I simply prefer a quiet, ordinary life!"

"I don't like being entangled in fame, profit, and all sorts of troublesome affairs!"

"So that's how it is!" Tang Hao's enthusiasm faded.

He had originally wanted to ask whether Ah Yin would be willing to join the Clear Sky Sect.

Now, he could only swallow those words.

He did not find it strange, either.

After all, Ah Yin had always been like this.

Thus, the two stopped discussing the matter and acted as though it had never happened.

At dinner, Ah Yin ate absentmindedly, taking one bite here and another there.

No matter how oblivious Tang Hao was, he could tell that something was wrong.

"Ah Yin!" he called softly.

Ah Yin looked up at him. After a long silence, she finally gathered her courage. "Hao, what if one day, many people want to kill me?"

"And those people are opponents neither of us can defeat. What would we do?"

Tang Hao slammed his fist onto the table. "I am the heir of the Clear Sky Sect, the number one sect under heaven!"

"If anyone wants to hurt you, even a Titled Douluo must first consider whether they can withstand the Clear Sky Sect's wrath!"

He was deeply worried about why Ah Yin would suddenly ask such a question and pressed her, "Ah Yin, do you have some enemy?"

"Tell me! I'll help you deal with them. If I can't, I'll have the sect step in!"
