Planning for the Future: Qian Xunji: Is My Disciple God's Favorite?

But now, judging by Yun Yuan's intentions, Pills refined from Immortal Grass would also be of great use to him. How could that not drive Qian Xunji mad with excitement?

However, there was one flaw: Yun Yuan would have to figure out the Immortal Grass Pill Refining Method himself. As the Pope of Spirit Hall, Qian Xunji knew something of the continent's current alchemy standards.

At present, refining Pills to heal injuries and strengthen the body was still possible. But using Immortal Grass to refine Pills was somewhat unrealistic.

Therefore, if they wished to use Immortal Grass for pill refining, Yun Yuan would have to explore the process step by step, relying entirely on his heaven-defying talent.

At that thought, the fervor in Qian Xunji's heart subsided somewhat.

Then, he looked toward Yun Yuan.

"Xiao Yuan, if you cannot develop the Immortal Grass Pill Refining Method, do not force yourself. What matters most to you now is cultivation—raising your Soul Power Level and comprehending the Spear Dao Realm."

"Alchemy is ultimately a supplementary art. If you cannot master it, give it up decisively. Do you understand?"

Although his desire to break through to Peerless Douluo was strong, it still could not compare to Yun Yuan's cultivation in his heart.

As long as Yun Yuan grew stronger, Spirit Hall would inevitably rise to another level and return to the flourishing heights it had enjoyed in the era of the Angel God. That was what Qian Xunji truly desired.

"Teacher, this Disciple understands."

"This Disciple will study alchemy during his spare time from cultivation. It will not affect this Disciple's training."

Yun Yuan answered truthfully.

Using Immortal Grass for pill refining was not merely because Yun Yuan wanted to raise his Soul Power Level to an even greater extent.

In fact, he had another purpose: to fully develop the Alchemy System. It would both leave behind a foundation for Spirit Hall and benefit himself.

If he perfected the Alchemy System, many Alchemists would surely emerge across the continent in the future, and Pills would become a daily necessity for both Soul Masters and ordinary people.

Low-grade Pills could be used by commoners to strengthen their bodies and treat illnesses.

High-grade Pills could be used by Soul Masters to improve their physical qualities and increase their Meditation Cultivation Speed.

Once the entirety of Douluo Continent needed Pills, Yun Yuan, as the one who perfected the pill system, would certainly leave a profound mark on the continent's history.

Tens of thousands of years ago, the Angel God unified the faith of the continent and ascended to godhood. Thousands of years ago, the Sea God unified the faith of the Great Sea and ascended to godhood.

The Power of Faith was exceptionally important. Since Yun Yuan intended to become a god, he had to begin laying out plans for faith, preparing for any eventuality.

With his current talent, coupled with the fact that every level he rose in the future would double his original foundation of talent, becoming a Peerless Douluo was a certainty.

But how to become a god was something Yun Yuan needed to consider carefully. The path of faith was one option; as for other paths to godhood, he would have to grow stronger first before exploring them one by one.

Becoming a Peerless Douluo was easy; becoming a god was difficult!

Seeing that Yun Yuan understood, Qian Xunji said no more. He knew his Disciple had a sense of propriety. Once guided, he understood.

At that thought, Qian Xunji glanced at Bibi Dong beside Yun Yuan and could not help sighing.

To be honest, Bibi Dong was excellent in every regard. Although she was lazy, playful, and not particularly enthusiastic about cultivation, that was only in comparison to her Junior Brother, Yun Yuan.

Compared with Soul Masters of the same age, Bibi Dong was practically a model cultivator and a hard-working Genius.

But people feared comparison.

Things had been fine before, but now that Yun Yuan existed, Qian Xunji occasionally compared Bibi Dong to him and found that Bibi Dong had an advantage in only one aspect: her age.

After feeling a slight pang of regret, Qian Xunji seemed to recall the origins of the Ice Fire Yin Yang Eye. A trace of confusion arose in his heart as he looked at Yun Yuan.

"Xiao Yuan, how did you learn of this treasure land, the Ice Fire Yin Yang Eye?"

His earlier excitement had caused him to overlook the matter, but thinking about it now, where could Yun Yuan have obtained such information? Aside from the dangerous encounter in the Star Dou Great Forest and the trip to Silves City several days ago—

Yun Yuan's experiences and knowledge had almost all been accumulated within Spirit Hall.

At Qian Xunji's words, Bibi Dong beside Yun Yuan also looked at him curiously.

Yun Yuan had long expected this. He had already prepared a whole set of words to fool Qian Xunji.

"Teacher, I learned of it in a dream."

"In a dream?"

Qian Xunji's brows furrowed slightly upon hearing that. Clearly, he did not believe Yun Yuan's explanation. Learning it in a dream? That was far too absurd.

But Yun Yuan merely smiled faintly before bringing up the changes in himself.

"Teacher, I am not lying to you. It is true."

"Think about it. Every time I obtain a Soul Ring, don't I undergo some miraculous change? First, there is my Martial Soul. After obtaining two Soul Rings in succession, my Atlas Spear has already changed twice."

"Moreover, I can feel that after obtaining a Soul Ring each time, both my comprehension and Cultivation Speed improve. Such miraculous things have happened to me."

"As for learning things in dreams, that is absolutely true as well."

After Yun Yuan put it that way, even though Qian Xunji still had doubts, he had no choice but to believe him. It was simply too inconceivable.

Qian Xunji knew that Yun Yuan's Martial Soul had evolved twice in succession. When Yun Yuan had first awakened his Martial Soul, the strength of his Atlas Spear had still been beneath their Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul.

But now, the strength of Yun Yuan's Atlas Spear Martial Soul had already surpassed Spirit Hall's god-level Martial Soul, the Six-Winged Angel.

One Martial Soul Evolution could be explained as a Fortuitous Encounter, but two Martial Soul Evolutions were abnormal.

"Could Xiao Yuan be God's Favorite? Does he have hope of becoming a god in the future?"

With that thought, Qian Xunji's gaze toward Yun Yuan became even more fervent, as though he were looking at an incomparable treasure.

If that were the case, who knew how prosperous Spirit Hall would become in the future? One hall with two godhoods—what an honor that would be.

At that thought, Qian Xunji completely believed Yun Yuan's account of how he had learned about the Ice Fire Yin Yang Eye.

Then, he looked sternly at Yun Yuan and earnestly warned him:

"Xiao Yuan, it is enough that you tell Teacher about this matter. You must not reveal it to anyone else."

Then, Qian Xunji turned his gaze to Bibi Dong beside them.

"Dong'er, the strange things about your Junior Brother—learning of treasure lands in dreams, his Martial Soul evolving repeatedly, and his talent improving repeatedly—do not let them slip from your mouth and reveal them directly. Understood?"

If the other major powers learned of these changes in Yun Yuan, they would likely spare no cost to assassinate him.

Especially those brutes from the Clear Sky Sect. If Tang Chen, the current Clear Sky Sect Master, learned of this, then before Yun Yuan possessed Peerless-level battle strength, he would likely have to remain in Spirit City for the rest of his life.

"This Disciple understands."

At those words, Yun Yuan and Bibi Dong both answered.

As the person at the center of it all, Yun Yuan did not feel much. But Senior Sister Bibi Dong beside him was different.

She silently swore in her heart that she would keep her lips sealed in the future. If any clever person discovered the abnormalities surrounding her Junior Brother, then they could not blame Bibi Dong for being ruthless.

As she thought this, a fierce glint appeared in Bibi Dong's eyes for the first time—but it was there to protect those close to her.
