Qian Xunji's Shock
"Ah Yin, your Soul Power should be level 60 by now, right?" Ye Qinghe skipped over the previous topic.
"Hmm." Ah Yin nodded, hesitated for a moment, glanced at Ling Yuan, and said, "Once we obtain the Sixth Soul Ring, we should be able to increase our Soul Power Level by two or three more times."
"Then I'll take you hunting later," Ye Qinghe.
Then he looked at Ling Yuan, "Ling Yuan, what are your plans next?"
"I've been out for a while now. Your killing of the fourth elder of the Clear Sky Sect and crippling of other elders and the Clear Sky Twin Stars have caused quite a stir. The Clear Sky Sect Clear Sky Sect n't cover up this shameful affair anymore; it's probably all over the continent now. If I don't go back, I'm afraid His Holiness the Pope will send people to look for me."
Ling Yuan had just finished her sexual relations with Ye Qinghe, and although she had tasted the sweetness of love, she had no choice but to leave for the time being.
"Then you should go back first. Before that, you and Ah Yin can eat this." Ye Qinghe said, taking out two pinkish-white pills.
"What is this?" Ling Yuan asked in surprise.
Ah Yin also cast a curious glance at her.
"An elixir that can keep people young forever," Ye Qinghe said calmly.
That one sentence alone was enough to make the two women eagerly swallow a pill each.
There's no way around it; no matter the world, every woman is drawn to the allure of eternal youth.
"Then I'm leaving. Be careful yourself. The Clear Sky Sect only has one Titled Douluo left, and he's injured, so he's unlikely to make a move. The other direct disciples are their precious treasures; coming here would just be suicide missions. There's a high chance they'll send people from the Four Single-Attribute Clans to surround and kill you. Be careful then. If things get really bad, just wait here for me to come back."
Ling Yuan reminded her.
"Don't worry, I don't even consider those chickens and dogs a threat."
Ye Qinghe smiled and declined. After watching Ling Yuan leave, he looked at Ah Yin and said, "Ah Yin, you stay here and condense your Sixth Soul Ring."
Ah Yin nodded obediently.
The Sixth Soul Ring is the last Soul Ring that Ah Yin can condense as a transformed Soul Beast, and it is also Ah Yin's natal Soul Ring. The age of the Soul Ring that she condenses can increase as her own endurance increases.
The maximum lifespan could be increased to 100,000 years.
After condensing a Sixth Soul Ring with an age of approximately 25,000 years, Ah Yin's Soul Power, transformed from the power of refining Immortal Herb, was fully activated, reaching level 64.
Afterwards, Ye Qinghe thought for a moment and, considering that all his women already possessed Soul Bone, gave Ah Yin the adaptive Soul Bone set that was 99,999 years old and could be activated to form a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone armor set.
Anyway, during those ninety Soul Bone extractions, he obtained two more sets.
After refining this set of Soul Bone, Ah Yin's Soul Power directly increased to level 70, and her Sixth Soul Ring was also upgraded to the maximum age of 100,000 years.
After that, Ye Qinghe gave her a fixed Soul Ring that would last for 100,000 years.
After absorbing the power, Ah Yin's Soul Power broke through to level 76.
This marks the official entry into the mature stage.
Even if the other shore flower is gone in the future, there will be no need to worry about her transformed Soul Beast identity being exposed.
And just as Ah Yin was entering his mature stage.
Ling Yuan has returned to Spirit City.
"He single-handedly defeated five elders of the Clear Sky Sect and the Clear Sky Twin Stars, killed the fourth elder of the Clear Sky Sect, severed Tang Xiao's legs, and even crippled Tang Hao and the four Clear Sky Sect elders' bells. Interesting. It seems that the Clear Sky Sect has been hiding quite a bit."
After listening to Ling Yuan's report, Pope Qian Xunji, wearing Nine-Curved Purple Gold Crown, a gold-embroidered crimson robe, and golden armor underneath, revealed an unkind smile on his majestic and handsome face.
Jin Douluo, the Pope's personal bodyguard, bowed and said, "Congratulations His Holiness the Pope His Holiness the Pope Twin Heavens and Twin Stars now crippled, the Clear Sky Sect will have no chance of threatening Martial Soul for the next hundred years."
To threaten the Spirit Hall, one must possess a Peerless Douluo.
Tang Hao originally had this hope, but his lower body was crippled, although it wouldn't have an impact in the short term.
His vital energy has been severely damaged; forget about advancing to the Peerless Douluo in the future.
Even Peak Douluo would have a tough time.
"The Clear Sky Sect is currently beset by internal and external troubles and is not worth mentioning." Qian Xunji waved his hand, clearly not taking the Clear Sky Sect seriously. He continued to ask Ling Yuan, "Elder Ling Yuan, have you seen that young man named Ye Fan?"
Ling Yuan nodded. "I saw him. To be honest, Your His Holiness the Pope, I know that person."
"You know him? Would he be willing to join the Spirit Hall?" Qian Xunji, somewhat surprised.
"Your His Holiness the Pope, please forgive me. Ye Fan prefers to be free and has no intention of joining any faction. However, I can assure you that Ye Fan will never be an enemy of the Spirit Hall," Ling Yuan said, clasping her hands in a fist salute.
Upon hearing this, Qian Xunji recalled his marriage more than a year ago.
Ling Yuan was originally chosen as the marriage partner, but she declined.
As Ling Yuan was Titled Douluo elder of the Spirit Hall, her status was extraordinary, and he couldn't force her.
His father would not allow him to force anyone.
So, as a second choice, he selected a woman from the Bright Lion family.
Looking back now, Ling Yuan must have already had someone she liked at that time, and that person was, unsurprisingly, Ye Fan.
Thinking of this, Qian Xunji did not press the matter further. He said solemnly, "Since Ye Fan is an old friend of Elder Ling Yuan, then I will naturally not make things difficult for him. However, I will reiterate my point: the doors of the Spirit Hall are always open to him."
"Thank you, Your His Holiness the Pope." Ling Yuan breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
Qian Xunji waved his hand, "It's alright. Elder Ling Yuan is Titled Douluo elder of my Spirit Hall, so I must give her this face. However, I observe that Elder Ling Yuan's Soul Power seems to have reached level ninety-six, and the Martial Soul pressure emanating from her is comparable to that of Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul. Furthermore, her appearance is quite different from before. If it weren't for the Spirit Hall's special token and my personal verification of her identity, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to recognize her. Did you gain anything else from this trip?"
"Yes, Your His Holiness the Pope, when I went out to find Ye Fan, I encountered a fire phoenix Soul Beast that was over 70,000 Years old while passing through a canyon," Ling Yuan said, uttering the pre-prepared excuse.
"Fire Phoenix?" Qian Xunji and the two Douluo guarding the Pope beside him suddenly brightened up.
You should know that this is a legendary Soul Beast.
Even in the history of the Spirit Hall, only a few words are recorded about it.
Ling Yuan nodded. "After Ye Fan and I hunted down this fire phoenix together, Ye Fan absorbed the fire phoenix's Soul Ring and gave me the Soul Bone. Unexpectedly, the fire phoenix's soul was hidden within the Soul Bone. I almost perished. At the critical moment, Ye Fan used the special properties of his Qingming Needle Spirit Hall to tame the fire phoenix's soul for me, thus greatly increasing my Soul Power and evolving my Martial Soul into a nine-headed fire phoenix. My Ninth Soul Ring has even transformed into a 100,000-year-old one."
As Ling Yuan spoke, nine Soul Ring— two yellow, two purple, four black, and one red—suddenly rose from beneath her feet, and a gigantic phantom of a nine-headed fire phoenix appeared behind her.
