Douluo Hall's Enshrined Ones Are Shocked One After Another, Immortal Herb: Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew!
"Second Brother, you're underestimating Xue'er. Since Du'er said it was low, it must be higher than 7,000 years."
"I'm guessing 8,000 years!"
Mighty Lion Douluo scratched his head and boldly named a number.
"Getting closer, but... still too low."
Lin Du still wore a mysterious smile as he continued urging the Enshrined Ones to guess higher.
"Still too low? 9,000 years! It must be 9,000 years, right?!"
Azure Luan Spirit gritted his teeth and named a duration he himself scarcely dared to believe.
This time, Lin Du did not even speak, merely shaking his head lightly.
"Come on, Third Brother. Du'er said to guess boldly, yet you're only adding a thousand years at a time. If you ask me—"
"Xue'er must have absorbed a Thousand Year Spirit Ring at the absolute limit this time—9,999 years. Du'er, am I right?"
Light Plume Douluo looked at Lin Du with complete certainty, as though he could already see him nodding in confirmation.
"Fifth Enshrined's guess was the closest. It was only one year off from the age of Xue'er's Spirit Ring, so Fifth Enshrined can barely be considered the winner."
Lin Du had realized that the Enshrined Ones simply did not dare guess a Ten Thousand Year Spirit Ring, so he directly revealed the answer.
"I told you I was right. I was only one year off from the age of Xue'er's Spirit Ring—"
"No! Du'er, are you saying Xue'er absorbed a Ten Thousand Year Spirit Ring?!"
"How is that possible?! Ten Thousand Year Spirit Rings carry Soul Shock. Even an ordinary Quasi-Soul King wouldn't be able to withstand it."
"How could Xue'er, a mere Quasi-Soul Ancestor, endure the Soul Shock of a Ten Thousand Year Spirit Ring?!"
A look of pride first appeared on Light Plume Douluo's face, but it was immediately replaced by utter disbelief.
It was not just Light Plume Douluo. Golden Crocodile Spirit and the other Enshrined Ones wore the same shocked expressions.
The reason they had not guessed a Ten Thousand Year Spirit Ring was because they all knew that such rings possessed a means of attacking the soul.
The slightest carelessness could turn someone into an idiot under that assault, while more serious cases could result in immediate death.
Yet what they had not expected was for the result to be so astonishing.
Qian Renxue had truly absorbed a Ten Thousand Year Spirit Ring!
Receiving Lin Du's signal, Qian Renxue did not hesitate to reveal her Spirit Rings.
Yellow, yellow, purple, and black—four Spirit Rings floated in an orderly pattern around her graceful figure.
The black Fourth Soul Ring in particular exuded the unique aura of a Ten Thousand Year Spirit Ring.
It effortlessly drew the gazes of the Enshrined Ones and Dugu Yan.
Dugu Yan had clearly not expected this girl, who was two years older than herself, to already be a four-ring Soul Ancestor.
Moreover, her fourth Spirit Ring was a Ten Thousand Year Spirit Ring that even five-ring Soul Kings could only barely absorb!
"It really is a genuine Ten Thousand Year Spirit Ring! Xue'er, how did you do it?!"
When the Enshrined Ones saw the profound black Spirit Ring on Qian Renxue's body, the shock on their faces did not fade.
Instead, it grew even more incredulous, because they simply could not understand how Qian Renxue had resisted the Soul Shock of a Ten Thousand Year Spirit Ring.
"You're all Title Douluo, yet a child like Du'er could figure it out."
"And none of you managed to catch on."
Scolding his old companions made Qian Daoliu feel exceptionally pleased.
However, the Enshrined Ones paid no attention to the disdain on Qian Daoliu's face. All they wanted to know was how Qian Renxue had accomplished it.
"Big Brother, stop keeping us in suspense. How exactly did Xue'er do it?"
"You know about Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast sacrifices, right? Xue'er was able to absorb this Ten Thousand Year Spirit Ring by taking a bit of a shortcut."
"Du'er used the life of its cub as leverage, making a deal for it to become Xue'er's Spirit Ring."
"You all know that the greatest difficulty in absorbing a Ten Thousand Year Spirit Ring is the Soul Shock formed from the resentment of the Spirit Beast after its death."
"But this Spirit Beast willingly became Xue'er's Spirit Ring, which was equivalent to a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast sacrifice."
"So Xue'er did not need to endure its Soul Shock at all. She only needed to bear the Soul Power of the Ten Thousand Year Spirit Ring."
Qian Daoliu spoke calmly, explaining why Qian Renxue had been able to absorb this Ten Thousand Year Spirit Ring.
"So that's how it was. I was wondering how Xue'er had endured the impact of a Ten Thousand Year Spirit Ring."
"So she never endured it at all. Still, only Xue'er could have such luck, and only Du'er could have such courage."
"An ordinary person might not have been able to pull this off."
After hearing Qian Daoliu's explanation, the Enshrined Ones revealed looks of sudden realization.
"By the way, Du'er, you said there would be a reward for whoever guessed correctly. If I remember right, Fifth Brother was the one who got it right."
"I wonder what kind of reward you'll give him?"
Of course, Mighty Lion Douluo was only joking. He did not truly intend to make Lin Du take out anything.
Yet to their surprise, Lin Du actually pulled a box from his Mustard Seed Sumeru Ring.
It looked rather mysterious.
"I know Light Plume Douluo's Martial Soul is the Light Plume Bow, making him a long-range Assault-type Soul Master."
"And for a long-range Spirit Master, his greatest weapon is not the longbow in his hands."
"It is those eyes that can lock onto everything."
"Therefore, this Immortal Herb is my gift to Light Plume Douluo."
With that said,
Lin Du directly lifted the lid, revealing an inconspicuous-looking herb inside.
The herb was entirely emerald green, but strangely, three snow-white leaves grew at its center. In the middle of those leaves were several crystalline drops of water, like dew left behind in the early morning.
"Du'er, don't tell me you casually picked this thing on your way back? It even has morning dew on it."
Looking at the unremarkable herb in the box, Mighty Lion Douluo showed some suspicion. He truly could not see what connection the item in the box had to an Immortal Herb.
"Fourth Enshrined, many things cannot be judged by appearances alone. This Immortal Herb may indeed look ordinary."
"But it is called Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew, and its effect after being consumed is very simple."
"Eat it, and you may cultivate Fiery Eyes and Golden Gaze, seeing through all things across ten thousand directions!"
"As the Fifth Enshrined, whose Martial Soul is a longbow, I believe you understand what this means to a long-range assault-type Spirit Master who relies on his eyes."
Lin Du looked at Light Plume Douluo with a faint smile on his face.
"Du'er, this is too valuable. I can't accept it."
Light Plume Douluo naturally did not doubt Lin Du's words, but precisely because he understood the terrifying effects of this herb,
he could not accept it so easily. Just as he had said, it was simply too valuable!
"A drop of kindness should be repaid with a spring. Fifth Enshrined gave me the Bone-Piercing Crossbow back then, so there is nothing inappropriate about me returning the favor with an Immortal Herb."
Lin Du reached out and took Light Plume Douluo's hand, gently placing the box containing the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew into his palm.
