"This..."

Light Plume Douluo, his silver hair full and his appearance that of a young man, wore a slightly bashful expression.

He clearly wanted it, yet felt embarrassed to accept.

"Since it's Du'er's heartfelt gift, just accept it."

"You're already over ninety, yet you're still acting so bashful."

"But don't forget Du'er's kindness."

In the end, Qian Daoliu spoke up and gave Light Plume Douluo a way out.

"As if I could ever forget! Du'er, if you need anything in the future, come find the Fifth Enshrined anytime."

"Then... the Fifth Enshrined will shamelessly accept this Immortal Herb."

Light Plume Douluo chuckled and tightly clenched the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew that Lin Du had placed in his palm, unable to hide the excitement on his face.

"No need to be so polite, Fifth Enshrined. However, this Immortal Herb has a somewhat special method of use."

"You don't need to consume the herb itself. You only need to drink the dew on its leaves."

Lin Du smiled and waved his hand, casually explaining how to use the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew.

"As expected of an Immortal Herb. Even its method of use is so miraculous. I'll remember that, Du'er."

Light Plume Douluo nodded gently, committing Lin Du's words to heart.

"Old Fifth, you really are lucky to receive such a miraculous Immortal Herb."

"It's practically tailor-made for you. If I'd known, I would've guessed for a few more years too."

Mighty Lion Douluo spoke in a deep, booming voice, his face filled with undisguised envy.

"It's not that Old Fifth is lucky. It's that Du'er is generous. But Du'er..."

"There's something the Third Enshrined doesn't understand. How did you know Old Fifth's answer was the closest?"

"And how did you happen to take out the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew that suited him best?"

Azure Luan Spirit, with short Deep Blue hair, smoky blue eyes, sky-blue bangs, sharp brows, bright eyes, and handsome features, looked at Lin Du curiously and voiced the doubt in his heart.

"How could I possibly be that all-knowing? I simply happened to prepare Immortal Herbs as gifts for every Enshrined."

"If the Third Enshrined had guessed correctly, then naturally I would have given you this Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower."

As he spoke, light flickered in Lin Du's palm, and another box appeared in his hand.

Noticing the gazes of the Enshrined, Lin Du reached out and removed the lid.

A scarlet, trembling Immortal Herb, soft and velvety in appearance, came into their view.

This Immortal Herb looked rather simple, consisting of nothing but red leaves.

Its only unusual feature was that the tips of its leaves resembled a rooster's comb, while also seeming like phoenix wings.

Yet upon closer inspection, one could astonishingly discover its true marvel: its leaf veins were Crimson Gold.

Like flowing magma, and like threads of gold winding through the leaves, it effortlessly drew everyone's attention.

"This Immortal Herb is called the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower. It is a pure-yang herb with powerful restorative properties and can greatly increase the user's Soul Power."

"Of course, its greatest effect is that it can evolve the Martial Souls of Spirit Masters who possess avian Martial Souls."

"In other words, Third Enshrined, if you consume this Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower, you might be able to change your title to Azure Phoenix Douluo."

Lin Du's voice was not loud, yet it exploded like thunder in the minds of the Enshrined.

Azure Luan Spirit in particular—after his heart abruptly seemed to stop, it began pounding furiously again, nearly leaping out of his throat.

His previously composed face had turned completely red, and his eyes were filled with longing for the Immortal Herb.

Seeing Azure Luan Spirit's reaction, the other Enshrined did not mock him. Instead, they grew even more envious.

After all, they knew perfectly well that if they encountered an Immortal Herb capable of evolving a Martial Soul,

they might behave even worse than Azure Luan Spirit.

"Du'er, the Third Enshrined won't give you empty words. I want this Immortal Herb."

"Name your price. No matter what you want, the Third Enshrined can get it for you!"

Ever since Lin Du had introduced the effects of this Immortal Herb, Azure Luan Spirit's gaze had never left the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower.

He had never desired anything so intensely. Therefore, no matter what Lin Du wanted, as long as he could exchange it for this Immortal Herb, he would find it for Lin Du even if he had to exhaust everything he possessed.

"Didn't the Third Enshrined already give me what I wanted? I really like those Wind Spirit Boots."

"I also hope the Third Enshrined will like this Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower."

Lin Du spoke with a smile. As Azure Luan Spirit stood there somewhat dazed, he placed the box containing the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower into his palm.

"This... Du'er."

"Like I said, the Third Enshrined doesn't like empty words. From now on, your affairs are the Third Enshrined's affairs. So long as you speak up, the Third Enshrined will get anything done for you!"

Azure Luan Spirit glanced at the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower in his palm, which resembled a phoenix spreading its wings, before turning his gaze to Lin Du.

He spoke solemnly in a tone that was almost an oath.

"What, if Du'er asked you to make a move against me, your Big Brother, would you charge in without another word?"

Qian Daoliu's expression was utterly calm, making it impossible to tell whether he was joking or genuinely serious.

"Big Brother, you... this..."

Azure Luan Spirit looked anxious and stammered, unable to say anything.

"Enough, I'm teasing you. Just don't forget Du'er's kindness. An Immortal Herb capable of evolving a Martial Soul—an Enshrined like you should know how precious such a thing is."

Seeing Azure Luan Spirit's anxious expression, Qian Daoliu revealed a serene smile.

He looked as though he were merely joking.

"Rest assured, Big Brother. I will always keep Du'er's kindness in my heart!"

Azure Luan Spirit nodded forcefully, clearly determined to remember it well.

By now, the other Enshrined had more or less caught on.

However, none of them directly asked Lin Du for anything.

Instead, they looked at him expectantly, wanting to see exactly what Immortal Herbs he had prepared for them.

"It seems the Enshrined have already figured it out, so I won't keep you in suspense any longer."

"Second Worship, this Immortal Herb is called the Earth Dragon Golden Melon. It resembles a golden melon and has scales covering its surface."

"It possesses the power of an earth dragon turning over. It is naturally earth-attributed, and fusing with it will grant the user the ability to control the earth."

"Likewise, it can evolve Sub-dragon Martial Souls into dragon-type Martial Souls."

"I remember that your Martial Soul, Second Worship, is the Golden Crocodile King, a Sub-dragon Beast Spirit that already possesses dragon bloodline."

"If you consume this Earth Dragon Golden Melon, your Golden Crocodile King Martial Soul may very well evolve into a dragon-type Martial Soul."

"When that time comes, Second Worship, you may not be unable to challenge the realm of Limit Douluo!"

Lin Du looked toward Golden Crocodile Spirit, whose hair and beard were both white but whose face still brimmed with domineering presence, and held the faintly golden-glowing Earth Dragon Golden Melon out before him.
