Distribution of Immortal Herbs

After Qian Xunji finished threatening Yu Xiaogang, the group of five returned after several days of long travel.

At this moment, everyone in Spirit Hall was filled with excitement and joy. Their two young masters had both performed exceptionally well in the younger generation's competition, especially the Eldest Young Master. He had utterly crushed the top member of Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's younger generation and defeated the top member of Clear Sky Sect's younger generation. He had done so while fighting above his level and with a Spirit Ring fewer than his opponents, greatly enhancing Spirit Hall's prestige.

As for the Golden Iron Triangle, after Qian Xunji left, Yu Xiaogang fled just as he had in the original story. He had intended to jump off a cliff and kill himself, but Flender saved him. Then, just as in the original story, he hid away at Notting Academy in Notting City.

In Douluo Hall, Qian Daoliu stood before the Angel God Statue as always, praying for the appearance of the Angel God Position's inheritor.

"Father." Qian Xunji strode inside.

"You handled this training trip very well. How is Xiaohan? Did you persuade him to return?" Qian Daoliu turned and struck Qian Xunji once, then placed a hand on his shoulder to sense him. He asked in surprise, "You broke through, and your foundation is extremely solid."

"Yes, Father. It will indeed take some time before I can break through again, but during this training trip, Xiaohan found the legendary Immortal Herbs. After taking one, I successfully advanced by one level." The Soul Tool in Qian Xunji's hand lit up, and the Qiankun Pouch Qian Renhan had thrown to him appeared in his hand. Within it, lights of different colors flickered—Immortal Herbs of various attributes.

Immortal Herbs!

Qian Daoliu was slightly surprised, then asked, "How is Xiaohan's temperament?"

After hesitating for a while, Qian Xunji told him about Suotuo City and Qian Renhan's views regarding the commoners oppressed by the Baroque Royal Family.

"Alas, is he ultimately a Fallen Angel? His way of thinking is completely different from ours." Qian Daoliu sighed. "So be it. So be it. As long as that child does not fall into becoming an Evil Soul Master, we will leave him be."

"Understood, Father." Qian Xunji thought the same. He had long since chosen to let Qian Renhan grow on his own.

"Go distribute these Immortal Herbs. This old man's cultivation has already reached its end; these herbs are useless to me." Qian Daoliu waved his hand, tossing his token to Qian Xunji before turning back toward the Angel God Statue.

Even as Pope, without Qian Daoliu's token, one could not summon the Consecrated Douluo. Whether during Qian Xunji's era or Bibi Dong's, even after Qian Daoliu retreated behind the scenes, he remained the one who held the greatest real power in Spirit Hall.

At Elder Hall, Qian Xunji had gathered Spirit Hall's nine great elders and six Consecrated Douluo. Bluntly speaking, if the sixteen Title Douluo, including Qian Daoliu, were deployed, no human faction on the entire Douluo Continent could withstand that force. Even if Tang Chen were still in Clear Sky Sect, Spirit Hall could destroy it by mobilizing all its forces. No matter how formidable Tang Chen was, he was only slightly stronger than Qian Daoliu. If Qian Daoliu dueled Tang Chen while everyone else hurled Ninth Soul Skills from afar, would Tang Chen live? However, given the Qian Clan's style, the chances of such a thing happening were practically zero.

A moment later, another set of footsteps sounded. Bibi Dong had also been summoned by Qian Xunji. When she saw that Spirit Hall had hidden so many Title Douluo, including so many terrifyingly powerful ones, she was utterly shocked. Spirit Hall's foundation was actually this terrifying!

The status of Saintess was only comparable to that of a Title Douluo elder, and she could not freely enter Elder Hall. Thus, Bibi Dong did not even know several of the Title Douluo elders, much less the consecrated elders. Of course, Guangling and Qian Daoliu were exceptions.

Qian Xunji cleared his throat. "Since all the elders and consecrated elders have arrived, we should begin."

"Pope, why have you summoned us here?"

Among the Title Douluo, Golden Crocodile Douluo, the Second Worship, who was the oldest, strongest, and held the highest status, asked.

Qian Xunji replied, "Second Worship, during this trip, I took the two children out for training. Xiaohan happened upon a treasure land and brought back a large number of Immortal Herbs."

"Immortal Herbs!"

Chrysanthemum Douluo immediately cried out in a trembling voice, "Your Holiness, is what you say true?"

Qian Xunji nodded slightly. "Indeed. I took an Immortal Herb myself and broke through to Rank 95. Elder Pufferfish and Elder Snake Lance also gained improvements after taking Immortal Herbs."

Everyone looked toward Snake Lance Douluo and Pufferfish Douluo, who were trying their best to remain calm, and they were all shocked. Snake Lance Douluo had actually broken through after only a few days apart. Damn, Pufferfish Douluo had actually advanced two levels!

Immortal Herbs were truly as terrifying as the legends claimed!

"Elder Chrysanthemum, you understand Immortal Herbs better than anyone here. You will distribute them among the elders and consecrated elders."

Qian Xunji took out the Qiankun Pouch. The Immortal Herbs and a huge pile of high-grade medicinal herbs spilled out. Chrysanthemum Douluo nearly popped his eyes out, his face full of obsession as he stretched out his dragon claw hand toward the pile of herbs, grabbing at the air.

"Chrysanthemum Guan, wake up."

His best friend, Ghost Douluo, hurriedly slapped Chrysanthemum Douluo awake. There were so many important figures and colleagues here. If he displayed such behavior in public, did he still intend to get by in Spirit Hall afterward?

Seeing the surrounding gazes looking at him as if he were insane, Chrysanthemum Douluo hurriedly came to his senses. He cleared his throat and said, "Before distributing the herbs to everyone, there is something I must explain. Immortal Herbs are treasures rarely found in heaven or earth. They not only require special methods of harvesting and preservation, but must also be consumed in specific ways. Otherwise, their medicinal potency will be lost."

"Furthermore, some Immortal Herbs are also herbs of extreme attributes. For example, this Infernal Delicate Apricot, an Immortal Herb of extreme fire attribute, must be consumed together with the Eight-Petaled Ice Crystal Leaf of extreme ice attribute. Otherwise, if one consumes either herb alone, even with my cultivation, the only outcome would be utter destruction, leaving not even bones behind."

Hearing Chrysanthemum Douluo's firm words, devoid of any falsehood, everyone nodded slightly, their expressions becoming more solemn.

Chrysanthemum Douluo continued, "Of course, some herbs have gentler medicinal properties and can Strengthen the Foundation and Cultivate Yuan. However, such Immortal Herbs have little effect on our current cultivation. What is truly useful to us are Immortal Herbs that match our Martial Soul attributes and may allow Martial Soul Evolution."

At the word "evolution," everyone grew excited. Martial Soul Evolution meant a higher chance of breaking through one's realm. This would be an enormous help to people like them, who were advanced in age, had exhausted their potential, and had been stuck at bottlenecks for years without being able to break through.

One elder could no longer sit still and urged anxiously, "Elder Chrysanthemum, stop talking and quickly distribute the Immortal Herbs."

"Very well. Second Worship, your Martial Soul is the Golden Crocodile King. This Golden Crocodile Dragon Fruit is the Immortal Herb most compatible with your Martial Soul. After taking it, perhaps you will be able to take that step." Starting with the one of highest status, Chrysanthemum Douluo took a palm-sized fruit radiating golden light from the pile of Immortal Herbs.
