Heaven Dou City, Qian Renxue

Time arrived at the next day.

Early in the morning, Tai Yi arrived outside the Elder Palace to wait.

However, to Tai Yi's surprise, when he arrived, a man with a feminine appearance dressed in chrysanthemum-yellow robes was already waiting there.

Tai Yi naturally recognized him; this was Chrysanthemum Douluo, Yue Guan.

Tai Yi looked at Yue Guan and said:

"Elder Yue Guan, greetings!"

Hearing Tai Yi's call, Yue Guan responded:

"Young Master Tai Yi, greetings to you as well!"

Yue Guan then noticed that the seven-year-old child before him had actually reached the thirtieth rank of soul power, and he was lingering at the entrance of the Elder Palace.

Yue Guan began to wonder if the reason he had been summoned by the Great Elder, Qian Daoliu, had something to do with Tai Yi.

If it truly involved Tai Yi, what could it be?

Just as Yue Guan was debating whether to ask Tai Yi, the great doors of the Elder Palace slowly creaked open.

Qian Daoliu walked out from within. Upon seeing Tai Yi, he spoke:

"Very well, now that Yue Guan has arrived, we can set off, can we not?"

Tai Yi naturally nodded in response.

Yue Guan was even more bewildered upon hearing this. According to Qian Daoliu's words, it seemed Tai Yi was the one who had requested his presence, but what business could Tai Yi have with him? Furthermore, Qian Daoliu had mentioned setting off—where were they going?

The next second, Yue Guan asked Qian Daoliu:

"Great Elder, I do not know why I have been summoned, nor where we are heading now?"

Hearing this, Qian Daoliu replied:

"You should ask Tai Yi about that."

Qian Daoliu then gestured for Tai Yi to explain why he had requested Yue Guan's presence, as he was curious himself.

Hearing Qian Daoliu's words, Tai Yi spoke up:

"I received information that there are immortal herbs in the Sunset Forest. I thought that perhaps no one in the entire Spirit Hall understands immortal herbs better than Chrysanthemum Douluo, which is why I asked Grandfather to summon you to join us in the Sunset Forest. I need you to help me identify and harvest them. After all, Elder Ju is a Title Douluo with a plant-type martial soul; I believe you would be knowledgeable about them. Otherwise, even if I were to obtain the immortal herbs, I would only waste them if I did not know how to store them."

"What? Is what you say true, Young Master Tai Yi? Do you truly know where there are immortal herbs?"

After Tai Yi finished speaking, Chrysanthemum Douluo asked with a look of surprise and delight.

Qian Daoliu was naturally shocked 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 was well aware of their immense power.

However, he had not expected that the "opportunity" the gods had told Tai Yi about would be immortal herbs.

At the same time, Qian Daoliu was quite excited. If the records he had read regarding immortal herbs were true, this opportunity would be monumental for Tai Yi, making his already formidable talent even more extraordinary.

Moreover, if there were more than one, he could give one to Xue'er, which would perfectly compensate for the cultivation time and talent wasted due to her undercover mission.

Qian Daoliu then turned to Yue Guan and asked:

"Elder Ju, since Tai Yi has already spoken, I would like to ask: how much do you know about immortal herbs?"

Hearing Qian Daoliu's words, Chrysanthemum Douluo snapped back to reality and said:

"Great Elder, I dare not claim to be the best in the entire Douluo Continent regarding knowledge of immortal herbs, but I am certainly in the top three. Furthermore, it has been my lifelong wish to see them with my own eyes."

Hearing this, Qian Daoliu nodded and said:

"In that case, let us set off."

Qian Daoliu then enveloped Tai Yi in his soul power and flew toward Heaven Dou City. Seeing this, Yue Guan, driven by his fanaticism for immortal herbs, followed Qian Daoliu toward Heaven Dou City without a moment's hesitation.

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

The moment Qian Daoliu arrived in Heaven Dou City, Snake Spear and Pufferfish, who were responsible for protecting Qian Renxue within the imperial palace, sensed his aura.

The two immediately found Qian Renxue and said:

"Young Master, the Great Elder has come to Heaven Dou City."

Qian Renxue, who was currently wearing the appearance and face of Xue Qinghe, asked:

"Are you certain? Has my grandfather truly come to Heaven Dou City?"

"Young Master, it is true. Although the Great Elder only revealed his aura for a fleeting moment, we could not have sensed it incorrectly."

Snake Spear and Pufferfish replied.

Hearing their confirmation, Qian Renxue was naturally overjoyed. After all, she had not seen her grandfather for over a year since leaving Spirit City for Heaven Dou City.

Qian Renxue also wondered if Tai Yi had come along with her grandfather.

She said:

"In that case, let us leave the palace quickly to find Grandfather."

Having said that, Qian Renxue did not linger in her chambers for even a moment and headed straight outside.

Soon, Qian Renxue left the imperial palace, found a secluded spot, and shed her disguise, returning to her original appearance.

He walked toward the main hall of Spirit Hall in Heaven Dou City.

Upon learning that Qian Renxue had entered the main hall, the first person she saw was Yue Guan.

At the same time, Yue Guan also noticed Qian Renxue's arrival, so he spoke to her:

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

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

As the heavy doors slowly creaked open, Tai Yi, who was inside the room, saw the person he had not laid eyes on for over a year.

Tai Yi then called out:

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

Hearing this, Qian Renxue did not bother to correct Tai Yi's way of addressing her, instead speaking directly to Tai Yi and Qian Daoliu:

"Xiao Yi, Grandfather, you've finally come to see me."

Seeing Qian Renxue like this, Qian Daoliu felt a pang of heartache as her grandfather; she was his own granddaughter, after all.

Qian Daoliu then noticed that Qian Renxue's spirit power was only at level forty-seven. One had to remember that a year ago, when Tai Yi had just awakened his spirit, Qian Renxue was already at level forty-four. This meant she had only increased by three levels in over a year. For anyone else, such a cultivation speed would be considered decent.

However, in Qian Daoliu's eyes, this speed meant Qian Renxue was wasting her talent.

Therefore, Qian Daoliu spoke to Qian Renxue:

"Xiao Xue, why don't you come back to Spirit City with Grandfather? By staying here undercover, not only can we rarely see each other, but more importantly, dealing with all these people and matters every day hinders your cultivation and wastes your potential."
