Bibi Dong's Gift

After Qian Daoliu left, Bibi Dong turned her beautiful eyes toward Ye Qifeng.

She warned him again, "Xiao Feng, keep your distance from him. Qian Daoliu is no good person."

Then, after giving it some thought, Bibi Dong removed a Purple Jade Crystal Ring from her slender jade finger, held it up in her palm with Soul Power, and handed it to Ye Qifeng.

Her red lips parted as she spoke gently:

"Xiao Feng, I'm giving you this ring as your initiation gift from your teacher."

"It is a Storage Soul Tool with roughly fifty cubic meters of storage space inside."

"This ring differs from other Soul Tools. It has a special function—it can store living creatures. I hope you like it."

Bibi Dong did not possess many treasures. She had spent years focused on cultivation, and nearly every treasure she acquired had been traded for cultivation resources.

She had wanted to give her disciple a Spirit Bone, but unfortunately, she did not have a suitable one on hand.

The only Spirit Bone she possessed was a White Head Spirit Bone she had obtained by chance several years ago while hunting a Spirit Ring for her second Martial Soul in the Star Dou Forest. It was more than fifty thousand years old.

However, that Spirit Bone was of the spiritual type and did not suit Ye Qifeng. It was much more compatible with Hu Liena, and Bibi Dong had intended to save it for her.

Spirit Hall's treasure vault did contain Spirit Bones suitable for Ye Qifeng, but those were Spirit Hall's reserves. The Elder Hall would never agree to let her take them out as gifts.

At present, the only things Bibi Dong could offer were the three Storage Soul Tools she had personally kept—two bracelets and one ring.

She had given one bracelet to Hu Liena, while the other remained on her wrist.

Besides, bracelets did not suit boys.

The Purple Jade Crystal Ring was the best of the three Soul Tools, but it did not matter. She did not need it much, so she decided to give it to Ye Qifeng.

When Ye Qifeng heard that it was a Soul Tool capable of storing living creatures, his eyes lit up. He carefully accepted it.

Then he thanked Bibi Dong, "Thank you, Teacher! I really like it."

He put the ring on the index finger of his left hand. It automatically adjusted to fit him perfectly.

"As long as you like it." Bibi Dong smiled.

She then explained how to use the Purple Jade Crystal Ring:

"Xiao Feng, using the ring is very simple. Just inject Soul Power into it to open the space inside, then use Spiritual Power to take items out. Storing items works the same way."

Following Bibi Dong's instructions, Ye Qifeng tried it curiously.

With a thought, he injected Soul Power into it.

The next moment, the ring's storage space opened.

His Spiritual Power swept through it, and the entire storage space was instantly laid bare before him.

Watching Ye Qifeng curiously fiddle with the Soul Tool ring, Bibi Dong's lips curved into a smile. She said:

"All right! Xiao Feng, there are some things your teacher needs to tell you now."

"Teacher, please go ahead."

Ye Qifeng put aside his curiosity and assumed an attentive posture, ready to receive her guidance.

Bibi Dong said, "You must remember this regarding the cultivation of Twin Martial Souls."

"Now that your Martial Souls have awakened, your innate Soul Power is level twenty. Once you obtain two Spirit Rings, you can directly skip the Spirit Master stage and become a Soul Grandmaster."

"But remember, choose only one of your Martial Souls to cultivate first. The Spirit Rings you add must be added to that Martial Soul. Do not add any to the other Martial Soul for now. Do you understand?"

"Yes, Teacher. I'll remember that!"

Ye Qifeng blinked. He actually understood all of this, but he could not show it.

After thinking for a moment, Bibi Dong continued:

"However, there is no rush for that."

"Today, your teacher will first settle your status as Holy Son. Once I have handled the matter of Spirit Hall's Holy Son conferment, I will arrange for you to hunt Spirit Rings."

"For now, I'll have someone arrange a residence for you."

"I'll follow Teacher's arrangements." Ye Qifeng readily agreed.

"Elder Gui!" Bibi Dong called out, immediately becoming once again the cold, emotionless, lofty His Holiness the Pope.

"Your Holiness the Pope!"

Gui Mei's figure gradually solidified within the hall. He dropped to one knee and awaited instructions.

Bibi Dong instructed Gui Mei:

"This is my disciple, and also Spirit Hall's new Holy Son!"

"This is the result of a joint discussion between myself and the Grand Consecrator. He has also agreed."

"Take the Holy Son and arrange his residence first."

Holy Son?... Gui Mei was stunned, but he accepted the order. "Yes, Your Holiness the Pope!"

At that moment, he was utterly astonished. He was being conferred as Holy Son already? Wasn't that far too fast?

"Go." Bibi Dong waved her hand.

"Your Highness Holy Son, please follow me." Gui Mei stepped before Ye Qifeng and bowed.

"Sorry to trouble you, Elder Gui." Ye Qifeng returned the salute.

Ye Qifeng then left with Gui Mei.

The Pope Palace Council Hall returned to its vast emptiness and silence, with only Bibi Dong remaining.

Bibi Dong suddenly felt somewhat unaccustomed to it, but when she thought of her newly accepted disciple, Ye Qifeng, her mood improved again.

A moment later, she smiled and shook her head, preparing to draft an edict and commendation orders.

Before long, one conferment edict and several commendation orders had been drafted.

The edict was naturally to confer Ye Qifeng as Holy Son.

The commendation orders were for the Platinum Bishop of Spirit Hall's Sacred Hall in the West District, the Dean Li Qing of Spirit Hall Orphanage, and the teachers.

Bibi Dong picked up the Pope's Seal and stamped the documents.

After that.

Bibi Dong called out, "Elder Ju!"

The next moment, an enchanting figure appeared in the Council Hall.

That enchanting figure was the Pope Palace's other Hall Elder—Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan.

Yue Guan had a head of golden hair and wore golden armor matching its color. The patterns upon it formed a chrysanthemum design, symbolizing his Martial Soul—the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum.

His skin was as delicate as a baby's, and his face was as alluring as a woman's. A rich chrysanthemum fragrance constantly emanated from him, giving people an exceedingly peculiar feeling.

If not for the Adam's apple on his neck, no one would have thought he was a man.

"Your Holiness the Pope, did you summon me?"

Yue Guan dropped to one knee. His voice was coquettish and strange, making it impossible to determine his age.

"This is the Holy Son Conferment Edict. I'll trouble Elder Ju to make a trip and deliver it to the Elder Hall for review," Bibi Dong ordered.

"Ah? Holy Son?" Yue Guan took it from Bibi Dong with a baffled expression.

Unlike Gui Mei, he was not a man of few words who simply carried out orders faithfully without asking questions.

On the contrary, he was a chatterbox who liked to get to the bottom of anything that puzzled him.

He immediately opened the edict and began reading it.

As a Hall Elder of the Pope Palace, Yue Guan was also an elder under the Elder Hall. The Holy Son Conferment Edict had to pass through his review as well, so he naturally had the authority to read it.

When he saw that the person being conferred as Holy Son bore an unfamiliar name, he was taken aback.

"Ye Qifeng?" Yue Guan thought for a long time but could not recall anyone he knew by that name.

He could not help asking, "Your Holiness the Pope, who is this Ye Qifeng?"

"He is my newly accepted disciple," Bibi Dong said. "Speaking of which..."
