Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum

Brilliant starlight filled the sky, and the bright moon hung overhead, spilling down a cascade of silver light as if draping the earth in a veil of silver.

Qin Tian reclined in a lounge chair, gazing up at the stars.

Beside him, Ling Yuan Douluo toyed with the cup in her hand, glancing at Qin Tian now and then with an amused smile in her eyes.

"The Grand Pontiff wants you to compete with the Pope's disciple, Hu Liena, for the position of Holy Son. Hahahaha! Does the Grand Pontiff not know what you're like? Making you Holy Son is just putting you on the spot!"

Hearing Ling Yuan Douluo's words, Qin Tian smiled helplessly.

"Sis Ling Yuan, Bibi Dong wants Hu Liena to become the Holy Maiden. Do you think my teacher will agree?"

"If Hu Liena becomes the Holy Maiden, what happens to Sister Xue'er? Spirit Hall can only have one Holy Maiden, and that's Sister Xue'er. Who does Hu Liena think she is, daring to covet the position?"

As he said this, Qin Tian's eyes filled with disdain.

Hu Liena had innate Soul Power of rank nine. In other people's eyes, she was a genius, but in his eyes, well...

What was innate Soul Power of rank nine? Any member of his team could match Hu Liena.

And let's not forget, every member of his team had consumed an Immortal Herb. Their Martial Souls had all evolved, and their potential was so great that few in Spirit Hall could compare.

From Qin Tian's words, Ling Yuan Douluo understood what he was thinking.

"Xiao Tian, congratulations. I guess I can't call you Xiao Tian anymore. From now on, it's 'His Highness the Holy Son.'"

Qin Tian rolled his eyes at Ling Yuan Douluo, his voice full of helplessness.

"Sis Ling Yuan, we've been together for years. You're still teasing me."

With that, Qin Tian stood up and headed inside.

Seeing this, Ling Yuan Douluo set down her cup and returned to her own room.

Back in his room, Qin Tian sat cross-legged on the bed and took a jade box from his Wishful Hundred Treasure Pouch. As he looked at it, a trace of hesitation appeared in his eyes.

The jade box held none other than the Immortal Herb, Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum.

The Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum was a purple flower with fuzzy, scentless petals. Its central stamen stood more than half a foot tall and shimmered with a golden glow.

Its effects were quite unique. As a neutral Immortal Herb, the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum could clear the eight meridians in the limbs and cultivate an Indestructible Golden Body.

The Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum was highly compatible with Power Attack System Beast Martial Souls. Qin Tian's First Martial Soul, for example, was the Holy Light Tiger King. If he gained an Indestructible Golden Body, the boost to his combat strength would be unimaginable.

Qin Tian had intended to wait until he obtained his Sixth Soul Ring before consuming and refining this Immortal Herb, but now he had no choice but to take it early.

As for conflicting medicinal effects, he wasn't worried in the slightest.

The effects of the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, Infernal Delicate Apricot, and Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew he had consumed before had been thoroughly refined over the years. There was no need to worry about a conflict if he consumed another Immortal Herb now.

The reason he had held off for so long was that he feared his Soul Power might advance too quickly and become unstable.

"Ugh!"

"Fine, fine. If my Soul Power becomes unstable, I can spend more time compressing it. What matters now is increasing my strength as quickly as possible."

Qin Tian couldn't guarantee that Bibi Dong wouldn't attack him after he defeated Hu Liena.

In his eyes, Bibi Dong was a madwoman. With Qian Daoliu present, she might hesitate to act, but Qian Daoliu had to remain at the Worship Hall. He couldn't stay by Qin Tian's side at all times.

If Bibi Dong attacked him in secret, then he...

Strength. Everything came down to strength. Only with sufficient strength could he be fearless.

At the thought, Qin Tian felt a sense of urgency rise within him.

Originally, he had planned to let everything follow the original story and give Tang San a few years to develop. When Tang San went to study at Shrek Academy in Suotuo City, he would lead people to surround and kill Tang Hao.

But now, that wouldn't work. Tang Hao had to be taken off the board early, and the Blue Silver Emperor's Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone had to be obtained as soon as possible.

As for Tang San, whatever became of him without Tang Hao as his protector had nothing to do with Qin Tian.

All he had to do was make sure Tang San became Yu Xiaogang's disciple. With that fake Grandmaster around, Tang San's First Martial Soul would surely be ruined.

After all, Blue Silver Grass had the attribute of life, and it could be found all over the Douluo Continent. What was more, Tang San's Blue Silver Grass was an unevolved Blue Silver Emperor.

As long as Tang San attached Soul Beasts with the life attribute to his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul, it would awaken the Blue Silver Emperor Bloodline once it accumulated enough power, and his Martial Soul would evolve.

But what had Yu Xiaogang done? He had attached Soul Beasts with the poison attribute to Tang San's Blue Silver Grass. That...

A multitude of ideas crossed Qin Tian's mind. After pondering for a moment, he stopped thinking about them.

He could only put those plans into action after leaving Spirit City. For now, he had to focus on his fight with Hu Liena three days from now.

Qin Tian no longer hesitated. He opened the jade box, looked at the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, and began consuming it at once.

The tremendous energy of the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum coursed through his limbs and bones, while Bloodline Power flowed through his eight meridians.

Qin Tian had long since opened his extraordinary eight meridians. He had cleared not only those eight meridians but also some of the smaller channels.

Now, he used the energy of the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum to keep clearing blocked channels. He wanted every meridian in his body to be open.

As Qin Tian refined the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, the night slipped away.

The next day,

Qin Tian opened his eyes, a sharp glint flashing in them. He felt the power within his body, and the corners of his mouth lifted into a smile.

"An Indestructible Golden Body. So this is what it feels like. Truly extraordinary."

"The Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum has taken my physical strength to a new level. My body is now on par with that of a mid-tier Soul Douluo."

Qin Tian clenched his fist in satisfaction. The moment he did, the air cracked with a sharp boom.

"Level sixty, Quasi-Soul Emperor. I'm only one Soul Ring away from becoming a true Soul Emperor."

"What a shame. There are only two days left before the match, not enough time to find a suitable Soul Ring."

Thinking of his Sixth Soul Ring, he looked toward the Star Dou Great Forest, an idea already forming in his mind.

With a physique comparable to that of a mid-tier Soul Douluo, he could absorb a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring even now. It would carry some risk, but the potential rewards were too great to ignore.

He would have to consider both the energy surge from a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring and the remnant soul of a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.

At the thought, Qin Tian already had a plan.

If he fused with the Blue Silver Emperor's Soul Bone, then used his status as Holy Son to obtain a high-year Head Soul Bone from Spirit Hall's treasury before going for his Sixth Soul Ring, the risk of fusing with a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring would be...

A Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring for his Sixth Soul Ring. Just thinking about it was thrilling. How many people could claim to possess one? It was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring—the dream of every Soul Master.

In Spirit Hall, only three people had Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Rings: Qian Daoliu, Golden Crocodile Douluo, and Bibi Dong.

The other Titled Douluo had none.

A Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring came with two Soul Skills, and anyone with one was certain to possess a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone as well.

A Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone also came with two Soul Skills, making four Soul Skills in total.

Qin Tian had already laid out his plans, but he would have to wait until he left Spirit Hall to carry them out.
