Heaven Dou City, Qian Renxue

The next day arrived.

Early in the morning, Tai Yi came to wait outside the Worship Hall.

But what Tai Yi had not expected was that when he arrived, a man dressed in chrysanthemum-yellow robes with an effeminate appearance was already waiting there.

Tai Yi naturally recognized him as Chrysanthemum Douluo, Yue Guan.

So Tai Yi looked at Yue Guan and said:

"Hello, Elder Yue Guan!"

Hearing Tai Yi's greeting, Yue Guan responded:

"Hello to you too, Young Master Tai Yi!"

Yue Guan then noticed that this seven-year-old child had actually reached level thirty in Soul Power and was waiting at the entrance of the Worship Hall.

So Yue Guan wondered whether Grand Pontiff Qian Daoliu had summoned him because of Tai Yi.

If it really had something to do with Tai Yi, what could it be?

Just as Yue Guan was considering whether to ask Tai Yi, the doors of the Worship Hall slowly opened.

Qian Daoliu then walked out. Seeing Tai Yi, he said:

"Alright, Yue Guan is here now. We can set off, can't we?"

Tai Yi naturally nodded.

Hearing this, Yue Guan became even more confused. From Qian Daoliu's words, it seemed Tai Yi had asked for him to be summoned—but what did Tai Yi need him for? And Qian Daoliu had mentioned setting off. Where were they going?

So, the next moment, Yue Guan asked Qian Daoliu:

"Grand Pontiff, may I ask why you summoned me? And where are we going now?"

Hearing this, Qian Daoliu said:

"Ask Tai Yi about that."

Qian Daoliu then gestured for Tai Yi to explain why he had summoned Yue Guan. He was curious about it as well.

Hearing Qian Daoliu's words, Tai Yi said:

"I received information that there are Immortal Herbs in Sunset Forest. I thought that there was probably no one in all of Spirit Hall who understood Immortal Herbs better than Chrysanthemum Douluo, so I asked Grandpa to summon Chrysanthemum Douluo to go to Sunset Forest with us and help me identify and harvest the Immortal Herbs. After all, Elder Ju is a Title Douluo with a plant Martial Soul. I figured Chrysanthemum Douluo should understand Immortal Herbs. Otherwise, even if I obtained them, it would be a waste if I did not know how to preserve them."

"What? Is what you said true, Young Master Tai Yi? Do you really know where there are Immortal Herbs?"

After Tai Yi finished speaking, Chrysanthemum Douluo asked with an expression of shock and delight.

Qian Daoliu was naturally stunned by Tai Yi's words as well. How could he not know of Immortal Herbs? Although he could not identify them, he had heard of them, and he knew of their powerful effects.

But he had not expected the opportunity Tai Yi claimed had been bestowed by a god to be Immortal Herbs.

At the same time, Qian Daoliu was excited. If the records he had read about Immortal Herbs were true, then this opportunity was simply too great for Tai Yi, making his already exceptional talent even stronger.

And if there was more than one Immortal Herb, they could give one to Xue'er as well, making up for the cultivation time and talent she had wasted while undercover.

Qian Daoliu then asked Yue Guan:

"Elder Ju, since Tai Yi has already explained it, I would like to ask you: how much do you know about Immortal Herbs?"

Only then did Chrysanthemum Douluo come back to his senses. He said:

"Grand Pontiff, I would not dare claim to be the most knowledgeable about Immortal Herbs on the entire Douluo Continent, but I am certainly among the top three. Moreover, my lifelong wish has been to see an Immortal Herb with my own eyes."

Hearing this, Qian Daoliu nodded and said:

"Then let us set off."

Qian Daoliu then wrapped Tai Yi in Soul Power and flew toward Heaven Dou City. Seeing this, Yue Guan, driven by his fervor for Immortal Herbs, followed Qian Daoliu toward Heaven Dou City without the slightest hesitation.

Under Qian Daoliu's lead, the three of them soon arrived within Heaven Dou City.

The instant Qian Daoliu arrived in Heaven Dou City, Snake Lance and Pufferfish, who were responsible for protecting Qian Renxue in the palace, sensed Qian Daoliu's aura.

So the two immediately found Qian Renxue and said:

"Young Master, the Grand Pontiff has come to Heaven Dou City."

Qian Renxue, wearing Xue Qinghe's disguise and face, asked upon hearing this:

"Is that true? Has my grandfather really come to Heaven Dou City?"

"Young Master, it is true. Although the Grand Pontiff only revealed his aura for an instant just now, we would never mistake it."

Snake Lance and Pufferfish replied.

After hearing their confirmation once more, Qian Renxue was naturally delighted. Ever since she had left Spirit City for Heaven Dou City last time, she had not seen her grandfather for more than a year.

Moreover, Qian Renxue wondered whether Tai Yi had come with her grandfather.

So Qian Renxue said:

"If that is the case, then let us leave the palace quickly and go find Grandpa."

After saying that, Qian Renxue did not remain in her chambers for another moment and headed straight outside.

Very soon, Qian Renxue left the palace. She then found a secluded spot, removed all her disguises, and returned to her original appearance.

She then headed toward Spirit Hall's main hall in Heaven Dou City.

Upon entering Spirit Hall's main hall, Qian Renxue immediately saw Yue Guan.

At the same time, Yue Guan saw Qian Renxue arrive and said to her:

"Young Master, the Grand Pontiff is waiting for you inside. Young Master Tai Yi has come as well."

Hearing this, Qian Renxue nodded and directly entered the room behind Yue Guan.

As the door was slowly pushed open, Tai Yi, who was inside the room, saw the person he had not seen for more than a year.

Tai Yi then called out:

"Xue'er, long time no see. I came to find you."

Hearing this, Qian Renxue no longer corrected the way Tai Yi addressed her. She directly said to Tai Yi and Qian Daoliu:

"Xiao Yi, Grandpa, you finally came to see me."

Seeing Qian Renxue like this, Qian Daoliu's heart ached. She was his own granddaughter.

Qian Daoliu then discovered that Qian Renxue's Soul Power was only at level forty-seven. A year ago, when Tai Yi had just awakened his Martial Soul, Qian Renxue already had level forty-four Soul Power. This meant that in over a year, Qian Renxue had only increased her Soul Power by three levels. Such a cultivation speed would have been considered good for anyone else.

But in Qian Daoliu's eyes, such cultivation speed meant that Qian Renxue was wasting her talent.

So Qian Daoliu said to Qian Renxue:

"Xiao Xue, why not return to Spirit City with Grandpa? While you are undercover here, not only do we go long periods without seeing each other, but more importantly, you have to deal with all kinds of people and matters every day. That delays your cultivation and wastes your talent for cultivation."
