As for the so-called immortal herbs, she had heard of them from Yue Guan.
To be honest, she did not pay much attention to such things.
Immortal herbs or whatever, when it came down to it, were ultimately just external forces.
But after personally examining the body of Bibi Dong, Qian Xunji knew that she had to change this line of thinking.
Perhaps these so-called immortal herbs could indeed provide soul masters with immeasurable assistance.
However, for her, the effects of immortal herbs were no longer significant, as she had already initiated her god trials.
"Xiao Dong, regarding the age of your soul rings, if anyone from the outside asks, just say it is a gift from the Angel God."
Qian Xunji looked at Bibi Dong's fourth soul ring; she knew this matter would inevitably make Xiao Dong a target for everyone.
Although the strength and heritage of Martial Soul Hall could protect Xiao Dong's safety, who could say for sure how things would play out?
There might be some unforeseen trouble.
Regarding the efficacy of Whale Rubber, Martial Soul Hall had not yet disclosed it to the public; only some high-level soul masters and those genius disciples were qualified to use it.
"Teacher, I understand."
"Everything is a gift from the Angel God."
Regarding this suggestion from Qian Xunji, Bibi Dong did not feel there was anything inappropriate about it.
If they did not find an excuse, the various factions would certainly try every possible means to investigate this matter, and who knew what dark hands might be lurking in the shadows?
"Xiao Dong, this time, Teacher hopes you will represent the younger generation of Martial Soul Hall in the competition. If nothing else, you must at least defeat the youngsters of the Clear Sky Sect."
"Do you have the confidence?"
Qian Xunji looked at her disciple, who was so obedient and sensible, and the more she looked, the more satisfied she became.
"Teacher, please rest assured. I actually want to see for myself if the Clear Sky Hammer of the Clear Sky Sect is truly as formidable as the rumors claim."
Bibi Dong smiled indifferently, a very sincere and warm smile appearing on her face.
Over these years, he had not just been purely cultivating; his combat experience had not lagged behind in the slightest.
Although he had not fought much with his peers, he had frequently sparred with Yue Guan, Gui Mei, and Chen Xin.
He had even achieved victories in sparring matches against opponents of the same rank.
Coupled with his own profound foundation, it would be truly pathetic if he were to lose to someone of the same age from the Clear Sky Sect.
"Very good, Teacher looks forward to your performance."
Seeing her disciple so confident, Qian Xunji also laughed happily.
Since her disciple had returned, this farce could finally begin.
After giving Bibi Dong some instructions, Qian Xunji's figure vanished from the spot, and she began to arrange the exchange and sparring matches between the major sects.
During this process, Bibi Dong was not idle either.
Together with Yue Guan, she began to amass wealth on a massive scale.
In short, it was an overwhelming campaign of publicity and hype, inflating the value of goods and making those who came to Martial Soul City compete with one another.
The shops they opened were diverse, ranging from wine and gemstones to luxury goods; they had everything.
In this process, the biggest sucker was undoubtedly the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Bibi Dong had people spread information privately, claiming that a simulated cultivation environment created with Nine-Colored Glazed Stamens had a certain chance of providing the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda martial soul with the opportunity and potential to evolve further.
Other factions might not believe such things, but for the people of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, they would buy it if there was even the slightest possibility.
Such rare flowers were already extremely precious; wanting to collect them in large quantities required not only massive amounts of manpower and financial resources, but there was no guarantee they could even be gathered.
Fortunately, Yue Guan had already managed to mass-produce these flowers through grafting, significantly shortening their blooming cycle.
Subsequently, through auctions, secret transactions, and various other methods, these flowers eventually all flowed into the hands of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Just for purchasing these Nine-Colored Glazed Stamens, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect spent a total of over 3.5 million Gold Soul Coins.
This was a staggering sum of money, not a small amount even for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
But they still purchased them without hesitation.
There was no help for it; who else but them would be so obsessed with their sect's legacy?
Qian Xunji met with people from the Clear Sky Sect and other major factions to discuss the exchange for the younger generation.
Ultimately, they reached a clear plan.
That was to hold the competition in three days.
Each faction would bring out a supreme treasure to be awarded to the top three finishers.
They also established a series of standards.
Just this simple discussion already possessed the initial prototype of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament.
Upon learning this news, Bibi Dong was speechless.
Why was it a competition again?
Is this Douluo Continent obsessed with competitions or what?
However, complaints aside, he was still quite curious.
He wondered exactly which geniuses existed in this current era.
At the location of the Clear Sky Sect, Tang Chen's expression turned unsightly the moment he learned that things had turned out this way.
Everything had exceeded his plans.
If things continued like this, with only the younger generation participating in the competition, how was he supposed to achieve his own goals?
"Grandfather, what should we do now?"
Tang Hao, who was already a Spirit Douluo, felt a wave of worry upon learning all of this.
Initially, he hadn't cared much for his grandfather's proposal.
He knew very well that this was nothing more than a marriage of convenience; his grandfather was trying to find a way to make their Clear Sky Sect thrive while taking the opportunity to weaken the power of Martial Soul Hall, thereby allowing his Clear Sky Sect to truly dominate the Douluo Continent.
However, the moment he saw Qian Xunji, his thoughts and intentions changed instantly.
That Qian Xunji was indeed beautiful.
Even if he didn't like her all that much, taking her home as a wife would certainly be a matter of great prestige when out in public.
Thinking of the Pope of Martial Soul Hall becoming his wife, Tang Hao couldn't help but feel excited.
But according to the current development of the situation, his grandfather's plan seemed unfeasible.
How could this not make him worry?
"No matter, we shall act according to the situation when the time comes."
Even at this stage, Tang Chen remained extremely confident.
Although he didn't know why things had turned out this way, based on his understanding of Qian Daoliu, there would still be plenty of ways to force the other party to step down when the time came.
"Should I just go directly to Qian Daoliu and be honest about my intentions?"
Tang Chen hesitated as this thought crossed his mind.
If he went directly to Qian Daoliu, given the friendship between the two of them, the other party likely wouldn't refuse such a proposal.
After all, Tang Chen was so outstanding.
But Tang Chen also knew that Qian Daoliu placed great importance on his own duties and Martial Soul Hall.
Even if he agreed to this request, he would certainly insist that Tang Hao marry into Martial Soul Hall as a son-in-law.
If that happened, wouldn't his own arrangements and plans be wasted for nothing?
In the end, he decided to stick to his schemes.
