The Golden Sun Sacred Lotus (The Most Watered-Down Episode)

After returning to Spirit Hall, Qian Xunqian gathered everyone together to begin distributing the immortal herbs.

The first one, naturally, was for our Pope, Qian Xunji.

"Big Brother, this is the most suitable immortal herb I found for you: the Golden Sun Sacred Lotus. Method of consumption: pluck one petal to wrap around the lotus seed and swallow it. After consumption, it will maximize the user's physique and aptitude. For your Seraphim spirit, it can also enhance the power of your Angelic Fire, bringing it closer to the True Fire of the Sun."

"Good, you have a heart for this." Qian Xunji smiled as he accepted the immortal herb and began to consume it.

Although he appeared calm on the surface, his heart was surging with waves; he was truly desperate for power! As the generation with the poorest talent in the Angel clan, how he wished his younger self could have obtained such an immortal herb!

"Grand Uncle, you are already a Limit Douluo, so immortal herbs won't provide much of a boost for you. However, I have prepared this Blood Dragon Ginseng for you; it can repair the physical body, treat hidden ailments, and prolong life."

"Good! Good! Good niece, this old man will graciously accept!" Qian Daoliu could not hide the joy on his face.

"Elder Yue, there is no need for me to elaborate on the effects of this Wondrous Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum. Take it and consume it!"

Yue Guan was ecstatic, even beginning to dance with joy. With so many immortal herbs, was he dreaming?

"Old Ghost! Come! Hit me!"

Gui Mei did not dawdle, slamming a fist into his old brother's face.

"You dead ghost! Why hit so hard!"

Gui Mei snorted, "You didn't say how much force to use!"

Yue Guan, acting like a child, hopped and skipped away to find a spot to absorb the Wondrous Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum.

"Elder Gui, this is the Yin Soul Mysterious Ice Ganoderma. Your spirit is soul-based; this herb can mend the soul deficiencies you suffered when you first awakened your spirit. Because it has absorbed the cold Yin energy from the Yin Spring for years, it will also imbue your spirit with ice attributes. Just chew and swallow it directly."

"Thank you, Second Young Lady!" Gui Mei replied solemnly, taking the herb and finding a place to consume it.

"Uncle Sky Crocodile, this fruit is called the Golden Dragon-Nurturing Fruit. It can open the eight extraordinary meridians and forge an indestructible body. Most importantly, it can improve the quality of your spirit, allowing a beast spirit to contain a trace of the Golden Sacred Dragon's might. It is perfect for you! Just peel the skin and eat the pulp inside."

Sky Crocodile took the fruit and said with a chuckle, "This old man is already a level 98 Titled Douluo and am quite satisfied. Since consuming this fruit would allow me to break through to level 99 and become a Limit Douluo, I should save it for my son."

"Fine, but another one should grow in ten years. Although it won't be as potent as this one, it will still be enough for you to reach the limit."

"Uncle Lion, the immortal herb I chose for you is called the Pure Yang Lion Heart Pomegranate. It can significantly enhance strength and defense, with a certain chance to improve the quality of fire and light-attribute beast spirits. Your spirit is the top-tier beast spirit Blazing Lion; I don't know to what extent it will improve after consumption."

"The method of consumption is to peel the skin and eat only the largest, reddest pomegranate seed in the center. Remember, eat only that one!"

"Many thanks, little niece. I can't wait, though why is my immortal herb so troublesome, only letting me eat the biggest seed?"

Lion Douluo patted Qian Xunqian's shoulder in appreciation, nearly flattening her.

Qian Xunqian helplessly remarked, "Well, they are immortal herbs; they always have some peculiar traits."

"Uncle Guangling, your immortal herb is called the Yin-Yang Light String Vine. Its growth conditions are harsh; it must grow on the soil at the boundary of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well to maintain balance, and it must absorb the essence of the sun and moon for at least four hours every day. If these conditions aren't met, it will wither immediately. It is extremely precious."

"It must be consumed within seventy-two hours of being plucked, or its medicinal properties will vanish. I rushed back to Spirit Hall without a moment's rest just to bring you this precious herb! No time to lose, consume it quickly!"

Guangling Douluo was moved to tears. This little niece was truly so filial; she hadn't said so much about the other herbs, yet his was so precious...

"Sister, this is too valuable, thank you! Also, don't call me uncle, call me little brother, thank you!"

Believe it or not, this baby-faced boy with a youthful voice was actually nearly eighty years old.

Qian Xunqian stuck out her tongue, "You love pretending to be a child! Pfft!"

Afterward, Qian Xunqian gave Snake Spear and Pufferfish each a Nine-Rank Purple Ganoderma to consolidate their foundations and improve their aptitudes.

The remaining elders below the Titled Douluo rank also received pills that Qian Xunqian had personally formulated and rolled by hand, with effects similar to the Nine-Rank Purple Ganoderma—consolidating their foundations and raising their potential.

After the distribution, two people were unhappy.

One was Bibi Dong, because she had already consumed herbs at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. Naturally active, she could only stand quietly in the Pope's Palace, watching everyone else meditate to absorb their herbs, feeling left out.

The other was Bibi Dong's fiancé, Ning Fengzhi.

Ning Fengzhi: Seriously? Still treating me like an outsider! I'm about to marry your sister! In the future, the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect will be an allied sect of Spirit Hall! Throw me a bone here!

Qian Xunqian ignored Ning Fengzhi's melancholy gaze and instead pulled out the final immortal herb: the Dew of Autumn Water.

She drank the dew, sat cross-legged on the ground, and began to cultivate.

The Dew of Autumn Water was a supreme treasure for spirit-type spirit masters.

Tang San had consumed this herb to elevate his Purple Demon Eye to a new realm, allowing him to see through his wife's true form at a glance.

Two hours later, it was time for the classic "listing of the gains."

The "Hum and Ha" duo, Gui and Yue, had each gained a level, now reaching level 95 Titled Douluo. They had touched the threshold of level 96 and would break through before long.

The "Shen Tu and Yu Lei" duo, Snake Spear and Pufferfish, also gained a level, reaching level 92 and touching the threshold of level 93.

Guangling Douluo gained a full level, now a level 97 Super Douluo, with the ice and light attributes of his Guangling Divine Bow both enhanced.

Lion Douluo also became a level 97 Super Douluo. The purity of his Blazing Lion spirit's flames had increased significantly; while it hadn't reached the Ultimate Fire, it was not far off—he had simply suffered from consuming the herb later in life.

Qian Daoliu looked much younger; his hair and beard, originally half-white and half-gold, now shimmered with a youthful golden luster. One could never tell he was over a hundred years old.

The one who benefited the most was the Pope, Qian Xunji. After consuming the Golden Sun Sacred Lotus, he was bathed in golden light, looking incredibly sacred. As he walked, golden lotuses bloomed with every step.

From a distance, it looked as if the Angelic God had truly descended into the mortal world.

"Little Ji, how much has your spirit power increased?" Qian Daoliu asked with a smile.

"Father, please use my title while at work!" Qian Xunji's face darkened, clearly disgusted by his father's form of address.

However, keeping things professional, Qian Xunji stated his spirit power increase.

Originally at level 93, he had gained two full levels and was now a level 95 Super Douluo. Moreover, his weakest point—his talent—had been compensated for. If he worked hard, the limit was no longer so unreachable.

Having gained such immense power, Qian Xunji was filled with arrogance, his burning gaze turning toward Qian Xunqian, who had just finished absorbing the Dew of Autumn Water.

"Little sister, I wonder if there are any other immortal herbs?"
