The stars were brilliant, the bright moon hung high, and a stream of silver light spilled down, as if draping the earth in a silver veil.

Qin Tian lay half-reclined on a lounge chair, gazing up at the starry sky.

Beside him, Ling Yuan Douluo toyed with the cup in her hand, glancing at Qin Tian from time to time with a playful smile in her eyes.

"The Grand Elder wants you to compete with the Pope's disciple, Hu Liena, for the position of Holy Son. Hahahaha, doesn't the Grand Elder know what kind of temperament you have? Asking you to be the Holy Son is just making things difficult for you!"

Hearing Ling Yuan Douluo's words, a helpless smile appeared on Qin Tian's face.

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

"If Hu Liena were to become the Holy Maiden, what would happen to Sister Xue'er in the future? Spirit Hall can only have one Holy Maiden, and that is Sister Xue'er. What is Hu Liena, that she dares to covet the position of Holy Maiden?"

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

Hu Liena, with innate level nine soul power, was a genius in the eyes of outsiders, but in his eyes—heh!

What was innate level nine soul power? Anyone he picked from his squad would not lose to Hu Liena.

Don't forget, the members of his squad had all consumed immortal herbs, their martial souls had all evolved, and their potential was so high that few in Spirit Hall could compare.

Ling Yuan Douluo heard Qin Tian's words and understood his thoughts.

"Xiao Tian, congratulations. From now on, I won't be able to call you Xiao Tian anymore, but rather His Highness the Holy Son."

Qin Tian rolled his eyes at Ling Yuan Douluo, his voice filled with helplessness.

"Sister Ling Yuan, we've been together for years, and you're still teasing me."

Having said that, Qin Tian stood up and walked toward the house.

Seeing this, Ling Yuan Douluo put down the cup in her hand 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. Looking at the jade box, a look of hesitation appeared in his eyes.

What was inside the jade box was none other than the immortal herb, the Strange Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum.

The Strange Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum was a purple chrysanthemum; its petals were fuzzy and scentless, and the stamen in the center was over half a foot high, glowing with a golden luster.

Its effects were unique. The Strange Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum was a neutral immortal herb, and consuming it could clear the eight extraordinary meridians and four limbs, forging a body of indestructible diamond.

The Strange Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum was highly compatible with power-attack type beast martial souls. Take Qin Tian, for example: his first martial soul was the Holy Light Tiger King. If he possessed an indestructible diamond body, the boost to his combat power would be unimaginable.

Qin Tian had originally 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 do it early.

As for the conflict of medicinal properties, he was not worried at all.

The Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, the Burning Apricot Delicate Flower, and the Wangchuan Autumn Water Dew he had consumed previously had been thoroughly refined over several years, so there was no need to worry about medicinal conflicts when consuming another immortal herb now.

The reason he had delayed consuming it was simply because he feared his soul power would advance too quickly, leading to an unstable foundation.

"Sigh!"

"Forget it, forget it. If my soul power is unstable, I'll just spend more time compressing it. Right now, I must improve my strength as quickly as possible."

Qin Tian could not guarantee that Bibi Dong would not make a move against him after he defeated Hu Liena.

In his eyes, Bibi Dong was a lunatic. If Qian Daoliu were present, it might make Bibi Dong wary, but the problem was that Qian Daoliu had to guard the Gongfeng Dian and could not accompany him at all times.

If Bibi Dong were to strike at him in secret, then he...

Strength, everything was about strength. Only with powerful personal strength could one be fearless.

Thinking of this, a sense of urgency rose in Qin Tian's heart.

Originally, he had thought about letting everything follow the original plot, letting Tang San develop for a few years, and then bringing people to ambush Tang Hao when Tang San went to study at Shrek Academy in Soto City.

But now it seemed that wouldn't work. Tang Hao had to be taken off the board early, and that hundred-thousand-year soul bone of the Blue Silver Emperor had to be obtained as soon as possible.

As for Tang San, what he would become without Tang Hao as his guardian had nothing to do with him.

All he needed to do was ensure that Tang San worshipped the fake master, Yu Xiaogang. Presumably, with Yu Xiaogang as his master, Tang San's first martial soul would be ruined.

After all, the attribute of the Blue Silver Grass was life. On the Douluo Continent, Blue Silver Grass could be found everywhere, not to mention that Tang San's Blue Silver Grass was an unawakened Blue Silver Emperor.

As long as Tang San added soul beasts with life attributes to his Blue Silver Grass, it would awaken the Blue Silver Emperor bloodline once it reached a critical point, causing the martial soul to evolve.

But what did Yu Xiaogang do? He added poison-attribute soul beasts to Tang San's Blue Silver Grass. This...

In an instant, many thoughts crossed Qin Tian's mind. After a moment of contemplation, he stopped thinking about them.

These plans could only be unfolded once he left Spirit City. Right now, what he had to do was prepare with all his might for the battle against Hu Liena in three days.

Qin Tian no longer hesitated. He opened the jade box, looked at the Strange Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, and immediately began to consume it.

The vast energy of the Strange Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum surged through his limbs and bones, and the power of his blood and qi flowed through his eight meridians.

The eight extraordinary meridians in Qin Tian's body had long been cleared, and not just the eight extraordinary meridians, but even some of the finer meridians had been opened by him.

Now, he used the energy of the Strange Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum to continue clearing the blocked meridians; he wanted to achieve the state where all hundred meridians were open.

As Qin Tian refined the Strange Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, the night passed quietly.

The next day, Qin Tian opened his eyes, a sharp light flashing within them. Feeling the power contained within his body, the corners of his mouth lifted slightly, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Indestructible diamond. This is the indestructible diamond. Truly extraordinary."

"The Strange Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum has elevated my physique to another level; my body is now comparable to that of a mid-stage Spirit Douluo."

Qin Tian clenched his fist with great satisfaction, and as he did so, the air erupted with a sharp crackling sound.

"Level 60 quasi-Spirit Emperor; I am only one spirit ring away from becoming a true Spirit Emperor."

"It is a pity that with only two days left until the competition, there is no time to hunt for a suitable spirit ring."

Thinking of his sixth spirit ring, he could not help but look toward the direction of the Star Dou Great Forest, a plan already forming in his mind.

With a physique comparable to a mid-stage Spirit Douluo, it was not impossible for him to absorb a 100,000-year spirit ring. Although there would be certain risks, the high reward made it impossible for him not to be tempted.

The energy surge of a 100,000-year spirit ring and the remnant soul impact of a 100,000-year spirit beast were all factors he needed to consider.

Thinking of this, Qin Tian already had a plan in place.

If he waited until he had fused with the Blue Silver Emperor spirit bone, and then used his status as the Holy Son to obtain a high-age head spirit bone from the Spirit Hall treasury before going to acquire his sixth spirit ring, the risk of fusing with a 100,000-year spirit ring would be reduced to...

His sixth spirit ring being a 100,000-year one—just thinking about it was exciting. How many people could possess a 100,000-year spirit ring? That was a 100,000-year spirit ring, the dream of every spirit master.

In Spirit Hall, only three people possessed a 100,000-year spirit ring: Qian Daoliu, Golden Crocodile Douluo, and Bibi Dong.

As for the other Title Douluo, none of them possessed a 100,000-year spirit ring.

A 100,000-year spirit ring possesses two spirit skills, and furthermore, possessing a 100,000-year spirit ring guarantees the possession of a 100,000-year spirit bone.

A 100,000-year spirit bone also has two spirit skills, adding up to a total of four spirit skills.

Qin Tian already had a scheme in mind, but all of this would have to wait until he left Spirit Hall to be put into action.
