Plan

"You've awakened your Martial Soul, Xiaotian. Don't rush to obtain your First Soul Ring. Big Sister Xue will arrange everything for you."

Listening to Qian Renxue, Qin Tian smiled broadly. He walked over and wrapped his arms around her. Of course, since he had only just awakened his Martial Soul and hadn't yet added a Soul Ring, he could only hug her around the waist.

"Big Sister Xue, I'll do whatever you say."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

"All right, let's go out. We can't be gone too long."

As she spoke, golden light surged around Qian Renxue and enveloped her in the blink of an eye. When it faded, the person standing before Qin Tian looked like Xue Qinghe.

Seeing this, Qin Tian couldn't help laughing.

"Big Sister Xue, when we're outside, I'll call you Brother Xue. When we're alone, I'll call you Big Sister Xue."

With that, Qin Tian hurried toward the secret chamber's exit, afraid his teasing might be taken as a provocation and earn him a harsh scolding from Qian Renxue.

Watching him leave, Qian Renxue's lips curved into a helpless smile.

As Qin Tian disappeared from sight, two figures appeared.

They were none other than Snake Lance Douluo and Pufferfish Douluo, who were protecting Qian Renxue.

"Young Master, can Qin Tian really be trusted? What if he exposes your identity?"

"Young Master, Qin Tian is only six years old. I'm afraid he might reveal your identity by accident. How about I—"

Hearing them, Qian Renxue's expression darkened, and she spoke in a low voice.

"Don't you two know what Xiaotian is like by now? After three years together, how could his maturity be compared to that of an ordinary six-year-old? Sometimes, I even wonder whether he really is six."

"I trust Xiaotian. He won't expose my identity. Besides, he has a Super Martial Soul and Innate Full Soul Power. If he's properly nurtured, the Spirit Hall will gain a Super Douluo in the future—no, perhaps even a Peak Douluo."

With that, Qian Renxue glanced at them and walked straight to the desk.

"Elder Pufferfish, deliver this secret letter to Grandfather. Remember, it's for my grandfather, not that woman. Neither of you is to reveal anything that happened here."

As she spoke, Qian Renxue had already begun writing.

She wanted to tell her grandfather, Qian Daoliu, about the Whale Rubber and Qin Tian. At the same time, she was also trying to secure resources for Qin Tian.

Hearing her words, Snake Lance Douluo and Pufferfish Douluo exchanged a glance, then nodded solemnly to Qian Renxue.

"Yes, Young Master."

Naturally, the two wouldn't reveal what had happened here. They had supported Qian Renxue from the moment they began protecting her. They belonged to Grand Pontiff Qian Daoliu's faction; as for the Pope's faction, they had nothing to say about it.

After finishing the letter, Qian Renxue infused it with Soul Power and handed it to Pufferfish Douluo.

Pufferfish Douluo took the letter without a word and headed straight out of the secret chamber.

Qian Renxue watched him leave, then turned to Snake Lance Douluo and spoke in a low voice.

"Elder Snake Lance, have our people secretly gather Whale Rubber. Collect all the Whale Rubber on the market, whether it's a hundred, a thousand, or ten thousand years old. I want all of it."

"Keep this operation secret. Don't cause a stir or let anyone notice."

Snake Lance Douluo bowed respectfully as he listened.

"Young Master, I'll make the arrangements at once. I'll ensure no one notices."

Qian Renxue nodded slightly. She watched Snake Lance Douluo leave, and once he had disappeared, she gazed into empty space and murmured to herself.

"Xiaotian, I'm looking forward to seeing what you can do."

"I wonder how you'll react when Xiaotian defeats Hu Liena, whom you value so highly."

Qin Tian had no idea what was happening in the secret chamber. After leaving it, he went straight back to his room.

Once there, he sat at his desk and thought in silence.

After a long while, he picked up his pen and began to write.

First, assign people to keep an eye on Tang San. This was essential to his plans going forward.

Second, seize the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. He had no intention of leaving the Immortal Herbs inside for Tang San. Without the help of those herbs, how much potential would Tang San, Dai Mubai, Ning Rongrong, and the others really have?

Among the Shrek Seven Devils, Oscar had the greatest potential: a food-type Martial Soul and Innate Full Soul Power. As for the others, Qin Tian didn't take them seriously at all.

Dai Mubai had only reached level thirty-seven at fifteen. Without the help of the Immortal Herbs, he might not even survive the brutal struggle within the Star Luo Imperial Family.

Ma Hongjun had the Evil Fire Phoenix. Without the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower, his own evil fire could burn him to death.

Without the Aromatic Silk Beauty, could Ning Rongrong break through the limits of the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda?

As for Xiao Wu, the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soft Bone Rabbit, she would be better off becoming a Soul Ring and a Soul Bone.

As for Zhu Zhuqing, Qin Tian rather admired her for constantly striving to defy her fate. If possible, recruiting her wouldn't be out of the question.

He had always admired those who dared to fight against fate. Even if they knew their chances were slim, that courage alone was rare.

But the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was Poison Douluo Dugu Bo's territory. To obtain the Immortal Herbs, the first problem he needed to solve was Dugu Bo.

Qin Tian pondered. Dugu Bo was someone he could consider recruiting. If things truly came to the worst, he would have no choice but to kill him.

But Qin Tian believed that if he could resolve the flaw in Dugu Bo's family's Martial Soul, Dugu Bo would surely agree. Still, making him submit would require the power of the Worship Hall.

Third was the Blue Silver Emperor's Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone.

The Blue Silver Emperor's Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone came with two skills. One was Wildfire Cannot Burn Out, Spring Breeze Blows Again; the other was flight.

The flight skill was more or less useless to him. After all, he had awakened the Holy Light Tiger King, which could fly once he used Martial Soul Possession. And if he mastered his Soul Power completely, he might even be able to form wings and fly.

But Wildfire Cannot Burn Out, Spring Breeze Blows Again was no ordinary skill. Its powerful healing and regenerative abilities could restore even the most grievous injuries, as long as the user still had a breath left.

More than anything, he valued its ability to regrow severed limbs. Once he had the Blue Silver Emperor's Soul Bone, he could replace his Soul Bones.

He had two Martial Souls, after all. How could he ever lack Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bones in the future?

In Qin Tian's plans, he could absorb Ten Thousand Year Soul Bones in the early stages to get by. Of course, that didn't include the skull or torso bones. Once he absorbed those, they could never be replaced.

The limb bones were different. Once he had the Blue Silver Emperor's Soul Bone, he could replace them. As for the vital energy consumed during the replacement, he had ways to replenish it.

Qin Tian continued writing as he silently considered his plans.

He wrote down not only the opportunities he knew about, but also the geniuses of the future. If possible, he wouldn't let any of them slip away.

Shui Bing'er, Feng Xiaotian, Huo Wu, and the others all had considerable potential. If he could bring them over to his side, they would be a great asset in the future.

Time passed quietly as Qin Tian wrote, and the setting sun cast its afterglow across the world.
