The Breakthroughs of the Enshrined

Two days later, Qian Daoliu returned to the Worship Hall.

As luck would have it, Golden Crocodile had also just returned from Vast Sea City.

"Big Brother, the matter regarding the Whale Rubber has been arranged. Within the next five years, ninety percent of the Whale Rubber produced with a quality of over a thousand years will fall into the hands of our Martial Soul Hall."

"At the same time, I have also arranged for people to secretly acquire the Whale Rubber currently circulating on the market, with our primary target being those of ten thousand years or older."

"I felt that acquiring the thousand-year and hundred-year ones would be difficult and might alert other factions. Since not many people use ten-thousand-year Whale Rubber, even if we buy it up in large quantities, logically speaking, not many people would notice."

After listening to Golden Crocodile's report, Qian Daoliu nodded with satisfaction.

Qian Daoliu's initial idea was to monopolize the ten-thousand-year Whale Rubber currently on the continent and all Whale Rubber of over a thousand years produced in the next two to three years. That Golden Crocodile could manage to monopolize the production for the next five years already exceeded his expectations.

Once the Whale Rubber matter was settled, Qian Daoliu told his brothers about the harvest from his recent trip.

To be honest, if the other titled elders had heard Qin Heng's inner voice, they would likely not have believed everything they heard as readily as Qian Daoliu did.

Qian Daoliu trusted Qin Heng so deeply partly because he had died for Xue'er, and partly because Qin Heng had once attained godhood.

As the High Priest of the Angel God, Qian Daoliu held a natural reverence for deities, and this reverence transformed into trust when applied to Qin Heng.

Furthermore, everything Qin Heng had said so far had been verified, and Martial Soul Hall had gained significant benefits from it—the Whale Rubber, the immortal herbs, the Soul Core, and the cultivation techniques. Each and every instance deepened Qian Daoliu's trust in Qin Heng.

It could be said that Qian Daoliu had complete faith in Qin Heng's inner voice.

Naturally, Qian Daoliu would keep such a massive secret to himself; if not for the fact that Qin Heng had died for Xue'er in his past life, Qian Daoliu wouldn't even have told his own granddaughter.

At this moment, with the other elders present, Qian Daoliu naturally concealed the existence of Qin Heng's inner voice, instead attributing the matter of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well to the Angel God.

As for the Wuji Technique, since Qin Heng intended to promote this technique across the continent later on, Qian Daoliu told the elders directly that it was a technique Qin Heng had created himself.

In a short while, Qian Daoliu taught the Wuji Technique to the other six elders and also provided them with the immortal herbs and the method for condensing a Soul Core.

"Is this herb truly so miraculous?" Mighty Lion Elder opened the jade box and looked at the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower inside.

Golden Crocodile, however, did not ask further. He had already sensed earlier that the technique Qin Heng practiced would be of great use to him; if he could master it, he had a high probability of breaking through to level 99.

With not only the technique before him but also an immortal herb to assist, how could Golden Crocodile resist?

With Qian Daoliu's help, he first comprehended the Wuji Technique, memorized the circulation path, and then took out the Earth Dragon Golden Melon and swallowed it decisively.

After Golden Crocodile swallowed the Earth Dragon Golden Melon, he circulated the Wuji Technique. After about an hour, a Golden Crocodile King behind him let out a roar toward the sky. Its head sprouted two horns, and its figure became slender, looking like a hybrid between a dragon and a crocodile.

A vast and majestic Bloodline Power, accompanied by the heaviness of the earth, swept through the entire Worship Hall, accompanied by a peculiar force field.

"This is a domain?! Second Brother's martial soul didn't just evolve; he even gained a domain?" Guang Ling couldn't help but exclaim.

The next instant, Golden Crocodile's aura increased by another thirty percent, and his martial soul completely evolved from the Golden Crocodile King into the Golden Crocodile Dragon King.

After the martial soul evolution concluded, Golden Crocodile slowly opened his eyes, his gaze filled with surprise.

"Big Brother, I need to go into seclusion for a period of time—three months at the shortest, a year at the longest. When I emerge, I will surely reach the limit." Having said this, Golden Crocodile didn't wait for Qian Daoliu's response and flew out of the Worship Hall; it seemed that consuming the immortal herb and practicing the technique had yielded him immense gains.

Seeing this, the remaining elders did not hesitate and began to practice the Wuji Technique and consume their immortal herbs.

Three days later, the cultivation of Azure Luan Douluo and Mighty Lion Douluo broke through directly to level 98. Although their martial souls did not evolve as directly as Golden Crocodile's, they still gained significant benefits.

Guang Ling Douluo broke through to level 97. Although Thousand Jun and Falling Devil did not break through immediately, they were on the verge; they only needed to go into seclusion for a while to condense their Soul Cores, and they would certainly break through as well.

"Fifth Brother, your martial soul's attributes are quite compatible with the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, so I intend to send you there to guard it. Give Yue Guan a message for me: he can return whenever he wishes. You and Dugu Bo are enough to guard the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well."

Upon hearing that he could leave the Worship Hall, Guang Ling agreed without a second thought.

Among all the elders, his personality was the most restless, and he had long since grown tired of staying in the Worship Hall.

"Fifth Brother, after you go, protecting Little Heng and assisting him in obtaining his third soul ring will also be entrusted to you. During this time, you must listen to his arrangements and not act on your own whims."

Upon hearing this, Guang Ling Douluo felt a bit unhappy about having to listen to a child, but he didn't say much. He knew that there was a high probability that a god stood behind Qin Heng. Moreover, he had just received the Wuji Technique from Qin Heng, and his breakthrough to level 97 was a favor he owed to the boy, so acting as his bodyguard for a while was no big deal.

Guang Ling set off immediately, flying straight toward the Sunset Forest.

Guang Ling had the temperament of an old child, and with Yue Guan guarding the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, he was in no rush. He stopped and went along the way, taking 10 days to arrive.

It just so happened that Yue Guan and Dugu Bo had almost finished their renovation of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

At this moment, the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well had undergone a earth-shaking transformation. Under Yue Guan's artificial modifications, the once chaotic and scattered medicinal herbs had been transformed into a magnificently laid-out and neatly arranged herb garden.

All the weeds that had originally existed in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well had been cleared away, and the land had been reasonably densely planted. On the same plot of land, the number of medicinal herbs planted was three times what it had been before, without affecting their individual growth.

Of course, Yue Guan had not forgotten to leave a space for Dugu Bo to plant poisonous herbs. In one corner, a small plot of land had been cleared specifically for Dugu Bo to plant various strange and exotic poisonous herbs, while also keeping his little "pets."

For this, Yue Guan had even personally taken action to help Dugu Bo set up a soul power barrier to prevent the scent of the poisonous herbs from leaking out and contaminating the other herbs.

When Guang Ling arrived at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, he was quite curious about the scene. He could clearly feel that if he practiced on the side of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well where the ice-attribute energy was abundant, his cultivation speed would increase significantly.

Guang Ling was very satisfied with the place, and then he turned to convey Qian Daoliu's orders to Yue Guan.
