Third Soul Ring: Target, Dark Demon Evil God Tiger

Yue Guan looked at the handsome, adorable boy before him. He knew he was the Holy Son, but he had not expected the Holy Son to personally come open the door for him.

He hurriedly said, "Greetings, Holy Son. I am Yue Guan. I heard you wished to see me. May I ask what this is about?"

Seeing Yue Guan's somewhat flustered appearance, Xiao Yao said with a chuckle, "No rush. Come in first. Have you eaten?"

Yue Guan replied, "Holy Son, I have."

Xiao Yao took a box of pastries and stuffed it into Yue Guan's hands. "Then take this box back and eat it. It's specially supplied by the Worship Hall, and it's delicious."

Yue Guan had wanted to refuse Xiao Yao's gift, but then he remembered that Ghost Douluo loved pastries. Moreover, these were specially supplied by the Worship Hall. Ghost Douluo would surely be very happy if he got to eat them.

So he silently accepted the box of pastries and put it into his storage device, gaining a little more favorable impression of Xiao Yao as well.

After the two entered the sitting room and took their seats, Xiao Yao looked at Yue Guan and asked, "Yue Guan, I heard you are exceptionally fond of flowers and plants. Do you know anything about Immortal Herbs?"

There was not much knowledge about Immortal Herbs within Spirit Hall. Although he knew their approximate location, even if he obtained the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, harvesting the Immortal Herbs inside required strict methods and procedures. It was better to ask Yue Guan directly.

Once he obtained the knowledge of Immortal Herbs, he could give the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum from the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well to Yue Guan as repayment. Presumably, no one on this continent was more suited to that Immortal Herb than Chrysanthemum Douluo.

Giving the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum to Chrysanthemum Douluo, who cherished flowers as dearly as his life and whose martial soul was so compatible with it, would also easily earn him a completely loyal follower.

"Does the Holy Son wish to learn about Immortal Herbs? I happen to have some information here." As Chrysanthemum Douluo spoke, he took an exquisite, weighty book from his storage device.

"This contains the knowledge of Immortal Herbs passed down through my family for generations. Everyone in our family has loved flowers and plants, dealing with them all year round. Through generations of inheritance, we accumulated this much knowledge about Immortal Herbs."

Xiao Yao took the Immortal Herb Catalog that Chrysanthemum Douluo carefully handed over, placed it on the table, and opened to the first page.

What met his eyes was a magnificent, brilliantly colored flower, vivid and delicate, gleaming with a golden-red luster. Xiao Yao looked at the lifelike illustration.

Then he looked at the description below. Love-Sickness Broken Red Intestine: when harvesting it, one must think of one's beloved with utmost sincerity and devotion, then drip a drop of heart's blood onto the petals.

Its principles of use and item characteristics were all recorded one by one. Xiao Yao could not help marveling at how detailed the records were.

The second page described Aromatic Silk Beauty. Flipping further, there were the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, Infernal Delicate Apricot, Aromatic Silk Beauty, Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower, and more...

The collection was so complete, the records so detailed, and the illustrations so lifelike. This Immortal Herb Catalog was practically the creation of generations of Chrysanthemum Douluo's family pouring out their heart and soul. The effort, cost, resources, time, and everything else it had consumed were simply astronomical.

Xiao Yao silently closed the book and said to Chrysanthemum Douluo, "Yue Guan, I owe you a great favor. I will repay you in the future."

Seeing how seriously Xiao Yao regarded his family's inherited book, Yue Guan felt much more at ease. "Holy Son, knowledge is priceless. Sharing it with you costs me nothing, so there is no need for any repayment."

Yue Guan truly did not care much about the repayment Xiao Yao mentioned. He was quite satisfied with his life. He was backed by the continent's strongest power, his position had steadily risen, and most importantly, Ghost Douluo was by his side. He also had free time every day to tend flowers and plants and keep Ghost Douluo company. In short, his life was complete.

Xiao Yao smiled when he saw that Yue Guan did not care much about being repaid and did not bring up the matter again. Still, he could not help looking forward to seeing Yue Guan's expression once he gave him the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum.

After returning from obtaining his two soul rings last time, Xiao Yao had discovered that he possessed a photographic memory. Presumably, after his physical strength had reached nearly the level of a Title Douluo, his brain had also been strengthened, naturally granting him this ability.

Thus, Xiao Yao rapidly flipped through the Immortal Herb Catalog, reviewing every part of it. He wanted to finish reading the book and return it to Chrysanthemum Douluo immediately.

After all, the book had been passed down through generations of Chrysanthemum Douluo's family, each generation pouring out its heart and soul. If it remained with him for several days, Chrysanthemum Douluo would surely worry. Since rapidly reading it was no trouble for him, it was better to finish early and return it early.

And so, the only sound left in the sitting room was Xiao Yao turning pages.

More than an hour later, Xiao Yao closed the Immortal Herb Catalog and returned it to Yue Guan with both hands.

After Yue Guan took the Immortal Herb Catalog and put it back into his storage device, the worry in his heart finally vanished completely. It was a family heirloom, and he knew how precious it was, but others might not understand its value or cherish it. Only now that it had returned to his hands was he truly at ease.

The two then chatted about flowers and plants for a while. Seeing that it was about time, Yue Guan stood to take his leave.

Just as Xiao Yao and Bibi Dong escorted Yue Guan to the door, the sky suddenly became as bright as though the sun had returned to the very center of the heavens, filling the dim night with light.

Xiao Yao, Bibi Dong, and Yue Guan looked up at the sky, wondering what had happened. They saw Qian Daoliu descending in his Martial Soul Avatar. The moment he saw Xiao Yao, he immediately said:

"Yao'er, half a year ago, you said you wanted your third soul ring to come from a Dark Demon Evil God Tiger. Spirit Hall has searched the Star Dou Forest for half a year, and we spotted traces of one the day before yesterday, in a remote canyon. Once Golden Crocodile, Azure Luan, and your grandfather Xiong Shi arrive, we will set out at once! We cannot delay for too long."

Hearing Qian Daoliu's words, Xiao Yao became somewhat excited. "All right, Grandpa Qian Daoliu!"

The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger—if his first two soul ring beasts, the Golden Behemoth and Golden Xuanwu, were already incredibly powerful, with attributes and strength far beyond the norm, and their martial souls in human Soul Masters could be considered divine beast-level martial souls, then the martial soul of a human Soul Master formed from the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger would be a true god-level martial soul.

Its displayed strength was equally outrageous. At over sixty thousand years old, it had fought the super soul beasts Daming and Erming without falling behind in the slightest. Even against the level-93 Tang San, who was already undergoing a God Trial, it had nearly made Tang San suffer a defeat.

It possessed evil, time, space, wind, and lightning attributes. It had wings, an Evil God Hook, an Evil God Protection defensive skill as absurdly powerful as Invincible Golden Body, and its ultimate move, the Life-and-Death Arena.

The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger truly had both raw power and special mechanics. It was practically destined to become a soul ring for his Golden Lion Mastiff martial soul. If the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger became his soul ring, he did not even dare imagine what monstrous soul skills the Golden Lion Mastiff would evolve for him.

After waiting for over twenty minutes, Golden Crocodile, Azure Luan, and Xiong Shi arrived one after another. Seeing that everyone was present, Qian Daoliu immediately took Xiao Yao into the air and declared, "Set out! Our destination is the Star Dou Forest—the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger!"
