Qian Renxue looked at the two soul rings on Qin Tian, one deep purple and one black-purple. Thinking of her own two soul rings, her throat bobbed as she swallowed, her voice turning slightly hoarse.

"Xiao, Xiao Tian, your two soul rings are far too dazzling. Originally, I had planned to arrange for you to study at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, but it seems that won't be possible now."

Listening to Qian Renxue, a look of contemplation appeared on Qin Tian's face.

He certainly could not go to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy now. If he went, his two soul rings would be impossible to hide. If the outside world were to find out, trouble would be inevitable.

To break the inherent limits of soul rings was to invite attention. If those major powers learned of Qin Tian's soul rings, their first thought would be to snatch him away, imprison him in a secret chamber, and torture him for his secrets.

"Xiao Tian, Grandfather sent a letter earlier suggesting you go to the Worship Hall to cultivate. What do you think?"

Hearing Qian Renxue, Qin Tian glanced at her but did not speak immediately.

Cultivating in the Worship Hall was a good choice for him. With the protection of the Worship Hall, even if those powers knew his soul rings had broken the limits, they would not dare to lay a hand on him.

After all, the weakest in the Worship Hall were Peak Douluo above level 95, and the Grand Pontiff, Qian Daoliu, was a level 99 Limit Douluo, known as invincible in the sky.

No power dared to provoke the Worship Hall. Of course, the various pontiffs in the Worship Hall rarely showed themselves to the outside world; they basically spent all their time cultivating within the hall.

"Sister Xue, if I go to the Worship Hall, will I still be able to see you?"

Hearing Qin Tian's words, a happy smile appeared on Qian Renxue's face.

She had not expected that Qin Tian's first thought would be whether he could see her, rather than whether it would be advantageous for himself.

"Xiao Tian, what are you thinking? Have you forgotten your sister's identity?"

"I am the Young Master of the Martial Soul Hall, and the Grand Pontiff in the Worship Hall is my grandfather. Why wouldn't you be able to see me if you go there?"

"Sister promises you, I will come to see you every year."

Hearing Qian Renxue's reply, Qin Tian's expression relaxed. He let out a soft breath and revealed a smile.

"Sister Xue, then I will go to the Worship Hall to cultivate."

Qian Renxue nodded slightly and took a Soul Power Testing Sphere from her storage soul tool, handing it to Qin Tian.

"Xiao Tian, this is a Soul Power Testing Sphere capable of measuring up to level 30 soul power. You have obtained two soul rings in a row; come and test your current soul power."

Qin Tian glanced at the Soul Power Testing Sphere, placed his right hand on it, and looked at the number displayed, his expression remaining calm.

"Level 27. Xiao Tian, you are only six years old and already a level 27 Soul Grand Master. With your Innate Full Soul Power talent, I fear it won't be long before you become a Soul Elder."

Level 27 soul power did not catch Qin Tian's attention; he felt that everything was as it should be.

With a soul bone, whale rubber, and two high-age soul rings, having level 27 soul power was normal.

Qin Tian had estimated that the two great soul rings would likely bring him eight or nine levels of soul power. After all, one was a 4,500-year soul ring and the other was a 9,500-year soul ring; the energy contained within them could not be small.

Even though he used the soul ring energy to impact his meridians and strengthen his physical body, a significant amount of that vast energy was still refined into soul power.

The energy contained in a 50,000-year soul bone could at least bring him four or five levels of soul power.

The energy from the whale rubber could also bring him three or four levels. He had refined quite a bit of century-old and millennium-old whale rubber, plus two 50,000-year pieces and one 70,000-year piece. Even if most of that energy went into strengthening his body, the portion converted into soul power would still be substantial.

Thinking about his upcoming departure for the Worship Hall, an idea formed in Qin Tian's mind.

He could not let the immortal herbs in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well go to waste. If he went to the Worship Hall, he didn't know when he would be able to come out again.

Immortal herbs were best refined as early as possible; laying a foundation early would be of great benefit to his future cultivation.

Furthermore, there was one immortal herb he was determined to get: the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew.

His second soul ring was already over 9,500 years old; the age of his third soul ring certainly could not be lower than the second. A ten-thousand-year soul ring meant a mental shock; if his mental power were insufficient, the consequences of such a shock could be imagined.

The Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew could greatly enhance mental power. Once refined, Qin Tian would have the confidence to make his third ring a ten-thousand-year one.

Qin Tian looked at Qian Renxue, his mind made up.

"Sister Xue, I discovered a treasure land in the central area of the Sunset Forest, but that place is surrounded by poisonous miasma, and I sensed an extremely powerful aura inside."

Hearing this, Qian Renxue raised her eyes to look at him, her expression filled with doubt and confusion.

"A treasure land?"

Qin Tian nodded solemnly, a grave look on his face.

"Sister Xue, I read in ancient texts that there are Three Great Treasure Basins in the world: the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, the Qiankun Asking Love Valley, and the Dragon Graveyard."

"The Three Great Treasure Basins each have their own unique properties. Ancient records state that the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well possesses the power of extreme cold and extreme heat. It accelerates the growth of plants and is a treasure land for cultivating rare herbs; there is no shortage of immortal herbs there."

"What I saw in the Sunset Forest is, without a doubt, this Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. If we can obtain the immortal herbs within, not only can we build a more solid foundation, but we can also increase our soul power without any side effects. If fortune favors us, it might even trigger a Martial Soul Evolution."

Qian Renxue listened to Qin Tian's words. At first, she didn't pay much attention, but as she listened, her expression grew increasingly grave.

Immortal herbs, a more solid foundation, increasing soul power without side effects, and even Martial Soul Evolution.

How could she not take this seriously? What she needed most right now was to increase her soul power. Since coming to the Heaven Dou Empire as an undercover agent, her cultivation time had been greatly reduced, leaving her as nothing more than a quasi-Soul King.

She had only managed to become a quasi-Soul King because she had refined quite a bit of whale rubber; otherwise, she would still be a Soul Ancestor.

Now that Qin Tian was telling her about immortal herbs that could increase soul power without side effects and even trigger a Martial Soul Evolution, Qian Renxue's breathing grew heavy.

"Xiao Tian, is what you said true?"

Qin Tian nodded solemnly. "Sister Xue, how could I joke about such things? It's just that the place seems to be occupied, though I don't know by whom."

Qian Renxue's expression remained unchanged, but in just a few breaths, she had already considered many possibilities.

"Little Tian, stay in the manor for now. We will discuss everything else after Sister Xue obtains her soul ring."

Qian Renxue had already made up her mind; she wanted this treasure land, but everything had to wait until she secured her fifth soul ring.

At present, the most important task was obtaining that fifth soul ring, and she had already targeted the soul beast she needed: a Holy Heaven Bird.

The Holy Heaven Bird was highly compatible with her Six-Winged Angel martial soul, and if she used its soul ring as her fifth, it would greatly enhance her Power of Light and divinity.

Qin Tian listened to Qian Renxue's words and nodded with a smile.

"Sister Xue, congratulations on becoming a Soul King soon."

Hearing Qin Tian's words, a helpless smile appeared on Qian Renxue's face.

"Little Tian, at your current pace, I fear it won't be long before you catch up to me."

"A six-year-old level 27 Soul Grand Master—if people outside knew, I'm afraid..."

Qin Tian listened to Qian Renxue's words but merely smiled indifferently.

"Sister Xue, I said it before: I will always stand by your side. Without sufficient strength, how could I face the crises of the future?"

Listening to Qin Tian, Qian Renxue looked at the young boy before her, her eyes filled with tenderness.

The two chatted for a while longer, then walked out of the secret chamber one after the other.
