The Abundance Cult and the Ascended!

In the year xxxx of the Douluo Calendar, a force called the Abundance Cult began to spread on a small scale across the continent at some unknown time!

"May the Medicine King's compassionate heart bring forth the Ambrosial Arbor, bestowing blessings upon the world, and granting it eternal life!"

This is a slogan that was initially only passed down among the poor and common people. It is said that as long as one's faith is sincere enough, the leader of the Divine Sect, the Abundance Pharmacist God, will personally bestow blessings upon you!

"Mom, waah! What's wrong with you? Waaah! You were perfectly fine yesterday, how come you're like this today?"

At the Skywater Academy, looking at her mother Shui Ninghan, who was lying unconscious and barely breathing on the bed, Shui Bing'er felt as if the sky had fallen.

"Your mother's injuries have already damaged her heart meridian. The fact that she has survived this long is due to her strong will to live. I'm sorry, Miss Shui, there's nothing I can do for her."

After retrieving her Martial Soul, a female healing-type Soul Saint shook her head regretfully at Shui Bing'er.

"It's all my fault. If it weren't for wanting to increase the age of my Soul Ring, my stepmother wouldn't have..."

With red-rimmed eyes, Xue Wu stood beside Shui Yue'er, her head bowed in self-reproach.

I also bear responsibility.

"Enough! What's the point of blaming yourself now that it's already happened?"

Instead of wasting time blaming yourself, go out and see if there are any other solutions!

A sharp rebuke interrupted their hushed conversation, Shui Ningshuang looked at them with a cold gaze, speaking in a chilling voice.

"."x2

Seemingly pulled back to their senses by her rebuke, the two women silently avoided her gaze and walked out of the room with their heads down.

"Bing'er, cheer up. Ninghan definitely wouldn't want to see you like this."

He walked to her side and pulled her into his arms, Shui Ninghan stroking her beautiful back.

Seeing this, the healing-type Soul Saint sighed, gently walked to the door, opened it, and left.

In Skywater City.

"Although the Divine Sect has a large following today, there are very few devout followers with the talent to become as Celestial as you and me."

"Although the Medicine King is benevolent, we, as his followers, should naturally share Medicine King burdens!"

In Qian Renxue's eyes now, although Ming Yue's blood flowing into the drinking water blessed many commoners.

But those people had neither fighting ability nor talent; at best, they were merely Pseudo-Abundance Followers who had achieved longevity.

Being cannon fodder is fine, but the real fighting power is only like her and Hu Liena.

They are truly the Ascended of the Medicine King!

"You're right, but with talents like yours, how could it be so easy to find someone?"

"Aside from the teacher who recently revived the Medicine King, I think the best way for us the Ascended to increase our strength is to collect the remains of powerful figures, right?"

He nodded slightly and walked alongside her. The two had come to a branch of the Divine Sect in Skywater City.

Since that day when she blessed the two women, Ming Yue, who had become increasingly indifferent to desires, had almost turned into a mere tool for bestowing blessings.

Therefore, the overall direction of the Divine Sect was directly handed over to Bibi Dong, Qian Renxue, and Hu Liena, who had already transcended the Celestial realm.

Although the two women were also deeply affected by the blessed memories, they were still primarily self-aware.

Therefore, regarding the development of the Divine Sect, after learning from the failures of the Spirit Hall, they made a painful but necessary decision.

They decided to first establish a foundation within the faith of the common people, and once the number of the Ascended was sufficient, they would directly mobilize their followers and launch a Abundance War would sweep across the entire continent!

After all, those seven Shrek gods had only just ascended to heaven, and there was still the so-called Divine Realm!

And once the Divine Sect has swept across the continent, the next step will be to sweep across the so-called Divine Realm!

Of course, this is just the three women's plan for the future.

But for now, it's more important to find those with the talent to become like-minded the Ascended.

They thus arrived at the branch stronghold of the Divine Sect, amidst the shouts of "Great Lord Celestial Being!" from the crowd of believers.

The two women arrived at the head of the altar ahead.

Kneeling before a colossal Pharmacist Statue, they proclaimed, "May the Medicine King's compassion extend, may the Ambrosial Arbor flourish, may blessings be bestowed upon the world, and may we all share in eternal life!"

Upon hearing this, the believers immediately knelt down and whispered their prayers.

In an instant, in Qian Renxue's field of vision after she stood up, the points of light of faith, like golden sparks, converged towards the statue behind her.

But in the midst of this gathering of faith, Qian Renxue suddenly discovered two beautiful figures hidden among the believers.

"Soul Douluo and Titled Douluo who are close to Titled Douluo Title Douluos? Interesting." He frowned and sensed the approximate strength of the two.

Qian Renxue raised her eyebrows slightly and gestured to Hu Liena beside her, who immediately understood.

"The Compassionate Medicine King favors us, bestowing upon us endless lifespans as a blessing. Do you know the Medicine King?"

A soft voice rang out, and nine emerald-gold fox tails appeared behind Hu Liena.

"The Medicine King's Compassionate Heart!"

The Medicine King's Compassionate Heart!

The Medicine King's Compassionate Heart!

!"

The scene around them was undeniably eerie, sending chills down the Shui Yue'er and Xue Wu, who had been lurking nearby.

And those two women on the altar are clearly the missing Angel God and the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall!

At this moment, I deeply regret that I had been so desperate to seek any cure and followed that group of people who were sneaking around talking about how miraculous the Medicine King was.

"Sister Xue Wu, shall we just run away?"

Shui Yue'er gently nudged Xue Wu's shoulder and slowly moved backward.

"Run?" Xue Wu gave a bitter laugh. She could feel the gaze of the former Angel God on the altar now locked on her.

"Why aren't the two people in the audience singing praises to the Medicine King?"

Just then, Hu Liena's voice suddenly came through, as if a pause button had been pressed.

The Pseudo-Abundance Followers all stopped singing and stared intently at Shui Yue'er and Xue Wu.

"Ah!" x2

Even though they had already cultivated to the top level of Soul Master, Shui Yue'er and Xue Wu were still startled when faced with such a unified gaze.

"We..." she stammered, taking a step back, while Shui Yue'er gripped Xue Wu's hand tightly.

"No offense intended. We were merely curious because we had heard of the Medicine King's miraculous abilities."

Standing protectively in front of Shui Yue'er, Xue Wu watched Qian Renxue and Hu Liena with a solemn expression.

"Hehe. The Compassionate Medicine King a blessing to the world, Bone and Blood Blessing to cure all the world's intractable diseases, including those that shorten lifespan!"

"If you ask for something, He will surely grant it!"

She chuckled softly twice and slowly descended through the air, nine alluring emerald-gold tails swaying behind her.

Only after walking to the two women's side did Hu Liena lean seductively on Xue Wu's other shoulder.

"Healed. Everything?" Shui Yue'er murmured, clearly in disbelief.

"Hmm, do you still remember this Angel God who was defeated in the war of the gods years ago?"

Seeing through Shui Yue'er's thoughts at a glance, Hu Liena smiled and pointed to Qian Renxue was also walking slowly towards them.

"With the salvation of the Medicine King and the restoration of my shattered divine position, level 100 is nothing to me anymore."

"Having received the blessings of the Medicine King, I have finally attained Celestial body! Limitless lifespan and boundless potential! I am now the Ascended!"

With her Martial Soul Possession, Qian Renxue spread her wings, and the angel wings, adorned with emerald and gold feathers, shone brightly behind her!

".!?"x2

Tankou instinctively opened her mouth wide, and the two women watched this scene in shock.

"Hehe~, how about it, I didn't lie to you, did I?"

With a playful lick of her lips, Hu Liena brought her head close between the two women and giggled charmingly.

"What... does this mean...?" Suddenly snapping back to her senses, Xue Wu shielded Shui Yue'er and took another step back.

"What do we mean? Heh, it's more like, what do you mean?"

"Since you have desires in your heart, why bother hiding them from the Medicine King?"

Pointing to the Pharmacist Statue standing behind her, Qian Renxue said leisurely, "Speak out your desires."

"You have absolutely no need to hide yourselves before the Compassionate Medicine King, for he grants all the requests of sentient beings!"

As she finished speaking, the Pharmacist Statue seemed to glow, and Shui Yue'er and Xue Wu were both momentarily stunned.

"I... I... I beg you, Great Compassionate Medicine King! Please save my stepmother!"

Her beautiful eyes seemed to be tinged with a touch of emerald gold, Shui Yue'er subconsciously voiced her inner thoughts.

"Me too." Xue Wu echoed the sentiment.

"So that's how it is, you've come seeking medicine!" Nodding slightly, Qian Renxue suddenly smiled and waved her hand.

A slender glass test tube appeared, and in the center of the tube hung a drop of emerald-gold liquid, as alluring as a gemstone!

"This is a miraculous medicine. After using it, not only can it cure all stubborn ailments of the body and mind, but it can even..."

"Those who consume it will gain endless lifespan, becoming true beings the Ascended, just like us!"

Using the energy that had begun to deteriorate, she delivered the test tubes to them, Qian Renxue narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly.

"A miracle drug!?" x2

Even through the glass test tube, I could almost smell the perfect fragrance lingering around my nose, and my body instinctively moved closer to it.

The two women twitched their nostrils slightly, completely ignoring the second half of Qian Renxue's sentence.

"Take it, this is the great blessing of the Compassionate Medicine King!" He smiled and pulled them back from their dazed gaze.

Hu Liena quickly added, "You are all talented individuals; wait until you witness the blessing of the Compassionate Medicine King."

"I think you will then understand what a true God is!"

Only then did they seem to wake from a dream as they picked up the test tubes, exchanged a glance, and Shui Yue'er and Xue Wu immediately turned around and sped back the way they came.

"Reaching the peak of Titled Douluo and Soul Douluo at this age is quite an achievement."

Hu Liena walked up to Qian Renxue and whispered something meaningful.

"Shui Yue'er and Xue Wu from the Skywater Academy, and her older sister Shui Bing'er."

"Judging from their performance in the Continental Soul Master Tournament and the strength they've displayed now, they are indeed quite good."

With a slight glint in her eyes, she raised her hand and waved it, and dozens of glass test tubes, each containing a drop of emerald-gold liquid that was as alluring as a gemstone, floated above her jade-like hand.

"There are still too few of us like us!"

As she spoke in a leisurely Yinsheng, Qian Renxue withdrew her hand, turned around, and instantly returned to the altar. She clapped her hands.

The Pseudo-Abundance Followers immediately began chanting hymns of praise to the Compassionate Medicine King once again, and poured their purest faith into the statue!

Meanwhile, on their way back to the Skywater Academy, Xue Wu and Shui Yue'er both looked very solemn.

Especially Shui Yue'er, who held the glass test tube protectively in her arms.

After all, having witnessed the miraculous scene that just happened to those two, even their shattered divine positions could be repaired.

The more she tried to breathe, the more rapid her breathing became. She tightened her Soul Power to hold the test tube in place, Shui Yue'er increased her speed even more!

So, she quickly returned to the Skywater Academy with Xue Wu, Shui Yue'er sensed an unusual and strange atmosphere.

"..." Without daring to think any further, she and Xue Wu rushed to the room where Shui Ninghan was. She pushed open the door with trembling hands.

"."

Two pairs of red-rimmed eyes, brimming with tears, stared at her simultaneously, and Shui Yue'er immediately knelt down on the ground, her delicate body trembling.

"... Stepmother?"

With a trembling voice, Shui Yue'er took out the test tube, which was perfectly enveloped in Soul Power, from her bosom.

"Mom is gone!" Shui Bing'er said in a low, hoarse Yinsheng, finally unable to hold back her tears.

"Ninghan doesn't blame you, don't blame yourself too much." Unable to hold back, she hugged Shui Bing'er's trembling body, and two lines of clear tears fell down Shui Ningshuang's cheeks at the same time.

Humans aren't plants or trees, let alone those who eat and live with you, even marry at the same time, and give birth to the younger sister of two sisters with such high talents at the same time.

"No! That's not how it is! It shouldn't be like this! My stepmother won't die! She definitely won't!"

"Moon! You...?" As if she understood something, Xue Wu quickly stepped in front of Shui Yue'er.

"Get out of the way!"

Angrily gripping the test tube, Shui Yue'er stood up and shoved Xue Wu aside, then quickly shoved Shui Bing'er and Shui Ningshuang aside!

With trembling hands, she opened the test tube. "It will work! It must work! Great, Compassionate Medicine King! Please, it must work!"

Watching that drop of emerald-gold liquid, as beautiful as a gemstone, slide from the tube into Shui Ninghan Ninghan's slightly parted mouth.

Following her stiffening upper body as she helped her up, the light slid into her abdomen, and an immediate burst of emerald-gold light shone from her lower abdomen!

In an instant, he teleported to the location of her heart, and a strong heartbeat began to sound! Shui Ninghan's originally pale face instantly regained its color.

Her Martial Soul unconsciously emerged and possessed her body, and abundant vitality instantly filled her entire delicate body, which was gradually stiffening!

And then, the Emerald Gold Radiance from her heart shone brightly! After a dazzling burst of light...

Having undergone a complete transformation, and with her Soul Power Level clearly breaking through to the Titled Douluo level, Shui Ninghan opened her beautiful eyes, clutching her forehead as countless images flashed through her mind. "Medicine King, bestow upon the Celestial eternal life!"

"Ouch! That hurts! What happened to me?"

"Stepmother!"

"Teacher!"

"Mother!"

Her self-talk was interrupted by three exclamations of shock and ecstasy. Shui Ninghan looked up and saw three delicate figures, enveloped in a fragrant breeze, rushing towards her at the same time.

"... This... this... this..." Overwhelmed by a mixture of shock and elation, Shui Ningshuang instinctively opened her mouth wide, momentarily speechless.

"Indeed, the Compassionate Medicine King is indeed the true, omnipotent god!"

Zhen buried her head in Shui Ninghan's arms, choking back tears. Shui Yue'er suddenly raised her beautiful, tear-filled eyes and murmured softly.

"The Compassionate Pharmacist!? Yue, Yue'er! How do you know about the Compassionate Medicine King!?"

A jumble of memories began to surge through her mind, and Shui Ninghan covered her forehead, groaning softly.

"Mom!" Shui Bing'er exclaimed with worry.

Xue Wu took a deep breath. "It's like this," (recounting their recent experience), "That's why we truly saved you with that miraculous medicine!"

As she spoke, Xue Wu seemed to recall the meaningful look the two men had given her before they left, and her breath caught in her throat.

"Hoo~, come with me to meet those two Celestial." Emerald Gold Radiance flashed in his eyes.

Shui Ninghan suddenly chuckled softly.

"Mom! (Stepmother)!"

"Sister? (Teacher)?"

He subconsciously looked at her, only to see Shui Ninghan suddenly adopt a "this is the only way" expression.

"Fine! I'm going to see who this so-called Compassionate Medicine King is!" His expression shifted for a moment.

Shui Ningshuang gritted her teeth resolutely.

"That is..." Xue Wu opened her mouth, looking at Shui Ninghan and Shui Ningshuang with a hesitant expression.

"I'll lead the way!" Shui Yue'er waved her fist excitedly; her goodwill towards the Compassionate Medicine King had reached its peak.

"Alright, let's go and see!" Seeing this, Shui Bing'er, who was also filled with curiosity and goodwill towards the Compassionate Medicine King who had saved her mother, nodded.
