Qin Heng was not surprised to have reached level 27 Soul Power. He had been born with level 20 Soul Power and had absorbed two Millennium Soul Rings beyond his limit. Having level 27 Soul Power was perfectly normal.
In fact, Qin Heng's ambitions went beyond that. Since Qian Daoliu had brought him out on this trip, they naturally had to take everything they could, such as the Immortal Herbs that had been crucial to the rise of the Shrek Seven Devils.
In Qin Heng's view, the greatest opportunity that had allowed the Shrek Seven Devils to rise and even become gods had been the Immortal Herbs. Without them, let alone becoming gods, the only ones among the Seven Devils with a chance of becoming Title Douluo were probably Little Scoundrel and Oscar.
Although Dai Mubai had been born with level 9 Soul Power, the age gap between him and Dai Weisi was right there. Dai Weisi would never give him the chance to become a Title Douluo.
As for that stupid rabbit Xiao Wu, from the day Tang Hao discovered her, she had only one ending: becoming Tang San's Soul Ring. She could never have the chance to cultivate to the Title Douluo level.
Speaking of which, this year was Douluo Calendar 2637. He was exactly the same age as Tang San, so Tang San should have awakened his Martial Soul by now, right?
That was indeed the case. Tang San had already awakened his Martial Soul, but he had yet to attend school in Notting City, so naturally, he had not obtained a Soul Ring yet.
Qin Heng had no plans to seek out Tang San at this time. There was nothing wrong with letting Tang San take Yu Xiaogang as his master. Without Yu Xiaogang, if Tang San figured things out on his own and cultivated his Blue Silver Grass to an even more ridiculous level, awakening his Blue Silver Emperor Bloodline ahead of time would be troublesome.
He would let Tang San follow Yu Xiaogang for a few years first. By the time Tang San went to Shrek Academy and the Shrek Seven Devils had assembled, Qin Heng figured he would probably already be a Soul Saint.
With the cultivation of a Soul Saint, Qin Heng could use the Asura Armor to kill even an injured Tang Hao with ease, let alone Little Scoundrel.
Even if Little Scoundrel truly was the person chosen by the Asura God, Qin Heng could go to Douluo II and bring back the Soul Spirit Method, become a god through the faith of humans and Soul Beasts, then deal with the Asura God along with him.
As this thought crossed his mind, Qin Heng's inner voice rang in Qian Daoliu's ear at just the right moment: Level 27 already! In my previous life, I was only level 11 after absorbing my First Soul Ring, and it took another ten days of cultivation before I broke through to level 12. Sure enough, it pays to have a big tree to lean against!
But then again, with Grandpa Qian here, why not make a trip to Sunset Forest and rob Dugu Bo's medicinal garden? The Immortal Herbs at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well played a huge role in Little Scoundrel becoming a god in my previous life.
With the Immortal Herbs from the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, leaving aside everything else, at the very least, the grandpas of the Worship Hall could all improve their cultivation. Especially Grandpa Golden Crocodile—he is only one step away from becoming a level 99 Limit Douluo. If he can consume a suitable Immortal Herb, he will definitely break through.
And Xue'er—the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower can evolve the fire attribute of her Angel Martial Soul, while the Bright Heaven Grass can evolve the sacred attribute of her Angel Martial Soul. It seems, though, that she can only choose one of those two Immortal Herbs.
I don't know enough about Immortal Herbs myself. Aside from Immortal Herbs that complement one another, it seems there is a restriction that a person can only consume one Immortal Herb in their lifetime.
Right, speaking of knowledge about Immortal Herbs, Elder Yue Guan seems to have some related family inheritance. He should know a great deal about Immortal Herbs. It would be great if we could bring Elder Yue Guan along to Sunset Forest...
Qin Heng's inner voice continued to ring in Qian Daoliu's ear, and Qian Daoliu was utterly thrilled. Forget anything else—just being able to further improve the cultivation of his brothers in the Worship Hall was already an opportunity beyond imagination.
Qian Daoliu wanted nothing more than to fly straight to Sunset Forest at once, but he had not forgotten what Qin Heng had just said: Qin Heng did not know enough about those Immortal Herbs.
But that was fine as long as Yue Guan knew them. Thus, Qian Daoliu immediately took Qin Heng and flew back to Spirit City, then headed directly for Yue Guan's residence.
As an elder of Spirit Hall and a level 95 Title Douluo, Yue Guan naturally lived in a sizable estate.
Qian Daoliu only knew where Yue Guan lived and was visiting his home for the first time. The moment he entered the courtyard, he noticed that Yue Guan's home was filled with flowers and plants of every kind, all competing in beauty and thoroughly pleasing to the eye.
At that moment, Yue Guan and Gui Mei were drinking tea together in the courtyard. The instant they saw Qian Daoliu, both men immediately rose and bowed.
Qian Daoliu waved his hand. "No need for formalities. Yue Guan, do you know about Immortal Herbs?"
Upon hearing the words "Immortal Herbs," Yue Guan's body trembled, and his expression immediately turned excited. "In reply to the Grand Elder, I do know of Immortal Herbs. My Martial Soul, the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, is one kind of Immortal Herb."
"I see. Then come with me!" Without waiting for Yue Guan and Gui Mei to agree, Qian Daoliu turned and left with Qin Heng.
Yue Guan and Gui Mei exchanged a glance, then immediately followed.
Before Qian Daoliu, the two of them had no right to refuse.
However, as he left, Yue Guan still gave instructions to one of his subordinates, telling him to inform Bibi Dong that he and Gui Mei had departed with the Grand Elder.
A short while later, inside the Pope Palace, Bibi Dong frowned slightly after learning that Qian Daoliu had taken Yue Guan and Gui Mei away from Spirit City.
"Did the Grand Elder say what he was taking them to do?" Bibi Dong asked the person reporting below.
"In reply to Your Holiness, the Grand Elder said nothing. He only told Elder Yue Guan and Elder Gui Mei to leave with him."
"Just the three of them?"
"No. There was also a child beside the Grand Elder."
Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong immediately thought of Qin Heng, and a guess arose in her heart. Could it be that old bastard Qian Daoliu heard of some great future opportunity from Qin Heng and went to seize it in advance?
The more Bibi Dong thought about it, the more convinced she became. Moreover, she guessed that this great opportunity was very likely the location of a 100,000-Year Soul Beast. As everyone knew, Yue Guan and Gui Mei's greatest trump card was their Martial Soul Fusion Skill—the Polar Static Domain. If the two of them used their Martial Soul Fusion Skill to immobilize a 100,000-Year Soul Beast, then Qian Daoliu struck, there was a very good chance they could capture the 100,000-Year Soul Beast alive.
At that thought, Bibi Dong's gaze could not help growing heated. Her second Martial Soul still had several Soul Rings left to complete, and a 100,000-Year Soul Beast's Soul Ring held extraordinary significance for her.
"Damn it! I never should have tested Qin Heng back then. If I hadn't tested him and had simply locked him in the secret chamber, all of this would have been mine!"
While Bibi Dong secretly regretted it, Qian Daoliu and the others had already boarded a carriage and headed straight for Sunset Forest.
They had not flown there because Sunset Forest was truly rather far away. If he flew all that way while carrying Qin Heng, Qin Heng would likely be unable to endure it. Qin Heng had been a god in his previous life, but in this life, he was only a fragile level 27 Soul Grandmaster, so he naturally had to be protected carefully.
The carriage Qian Daoliu rode in was not pulled by ordinary horses, but by Soul Beasts. It traveled at tremendous speed, and they reached Sunset Forest in just five days.
