Just then, Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan, standing off to the side, could no longer suppress the turmoil in his heart. His voice trembled as he said, "Y-Young Master! This subordinate dares to ask—can your second martial soul truly accelerate a plant's growth speed by ten thousand times?!"
Yue Guan's breathing grew rapid, his chest heaving violently as he stared at Qian Renheng with burning eyes.
Across all of Spirit City, even across the entire Douluo Continent, when it came to understanding plants, Yue Guan dared to say that if he called himself second, no one would dare call themselves first! He was Spirit Hall's chief plant cultivation master!
All these years, because his soul power had been stuck at rank ninety-five and unable to advance, he had dreamed day and night of finding a way to cultivate, through acquired means, a legendary Immortal Grade Celestial Chrysanthemum to make the source of his martial soul more complete!
After all, his martial soul was the Immortal Grade Celestial Chrysanthemum. If he could obtain one of those precious medicines...
But Immortal Grade Spirit Herbs were divine objects that stole the fortune of heaven and earth. How could a mere mortal like him cultivate one?
Without a special environment and the accumulation of long years, this was nothing but a fool's dream!
After countless failures, he had long since lost heart and completely given up on relying on human effort to cultivate Immortal Herbs.
But then, this very morning, the Grand Worship suddenly gathered their group of core elders and announced an absolute secret!
Their Spirit Hall's Young Master, Qian Renheng, had awakened twin mutated martial souls. His first martial soul possessed a heaven-defying ability to revive the dead.
Moreover, those revived were completely under the Young Master's control, and they were restored in their prime! At present, the Pope from two generations ago, as well as that Pope's younger brother, had both been successfully revived.
In other words, their Spirit Hall now had three Peerless Douluo powerhouses holding the fort!
That alone was enough to shock anyone, but what made Yue Guan dizzy—and what was directly connected to him—was that the Young Master's second martial soul could actually provide plants with ten thousand times their growth speed!
A full ten thousand times. What did that mean?!
It meant that as long as he waited a mere ten years, the ordinary Celestial Chrysanthemum he planted with his own hands could transform into an Immortal Grade Celestial Chrysanthemum!
A ten-year wait was not long for a Titled Douluo...
"It's true." Qian Renheng looked at Yue Guan and said with a smile, "I've long heard that Elder Ju dearly loves rare and exotic herbs, and that you're even our Spirit Hall's chief herb cultivation master. I imagine Elder Ju must understand Immortal Herbs very well?"
After hearing that definite answer, Yue Guan could no longer suppress the excitement in his heart. He took a deep breath and said solemnly, "I do, I do, I understand them very well!"
"Immortal Herbs are rare treasures of this world, with effects that seize the fortune of heaven and earth and defy fate itself."
"If an ordinary soul master obtains and absorbs one, his achievements will catch up to those top-tier soul masters!"
"If a top-tier soul master obtains and absorbs one, his future achievements will be unimaginable!"
"This subordinate once had the fortune to read information regarding Immortal Herbs in an Immortal Herb illustrated compendium!"
"Young Master... to be honest, this subordinate's martial soul is the Immortal Grade Celestial Chrysanthemum. If this subordinate is fortunate enough to obtain an Immortal Grade Celestial Chrysanthemum and absorb it..."
"This subordinate's martial soul source will become even more complete. Even this subordinate's soul power level, which has stagnated for many years, may break through its shackles in one stroke and advance a step further, reaching the super realm!"
Yue Guan spoke like a string of firecrackers, the intense fervor in his eyes almost solidifying into something tangible!
Immortal Herbs... Those were the ultimate goal he had spent his entire life bitterly searching for!
He had originally already given up, even fallen into complete despair over it. But today... the matter announced by the Grand Worship had once again lit up his dim life!
"That's good..." Qian Renheng nodded with a smile, not forgetting to paint a grand promise. "Elder Ju and Elder Gui have joined Spirit Hall for many years, laboring for Spirit Hall for so long and exhausting your minds and strength. Once the Immortal Herbs mature, there will certainly be one Immortal Herb for each of you!"
When Yue Guan heard this, his face filled with zeal. He immediately bowed deeply to Qian Renheng and said, "This subordinate thanks Young Master together with Gui Mei!!!"
This trip today had not been in vain. If the two of them could both obtain Immortal Herbs suited to themselves, there was hope of becoming Super Douluo!
If they both reached the realm of Super Douluo, then after they used their martial soul fusion skill, Polar Static Domain, its effect would become even more terrifying!
For others, Immortal Herbs had the power to defy fate. For Titled Douluo like them, who had been stuck at rank ninety-five for many years, they likewise had the power to defy fate!
At that moment, Qian Wushuang chuckled and took an exquisitely crafted storage soul tool from his robes.
This soul tool resembled a broad bracelet. Its entire body was forged from deep-sea sunken silver, and its surface was inlaid with all kinds of strange and beautiful gemstones as decoration.
"Little Heng, this is a storage soul tool. Inside is the first batch of herbs we prepared!" Qian Wushuang handed the storage soul tool over.
Qian Renheng reached out and accepted the heavy bracelet, then immediately mobilized a wisp of soul power and infused it into it.
The next second, the scene inside the storage soul tool was laid bare before his eyes.
Inside were many different varieties of herbs, sorted by category into specially made jade boxes to prevent their medicinal effects from leaking away.
Qian Renheng gave those herbs a rough glance and saw a few he was still fairly familiar with.
There were Celestial Chrysanthemums, Qiluo Tulips, and Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflowers. Of course, these herbs were not very old; they were merely high-grade herbs with excellent growth. They were still a hundred thousand miles away from becoming Immortal Herbs.
As for the remaining densely packed herbs, he mostly could not even name them. After all, he had not studied botany in his previous life.
"A full thousand..." Qian Renheng's eyes grew fiery as he said, "As long as they're placed inside the Life Realm, in just ten short years, they'll become a thousand Immortal Herbs!"
At that thought, Qian Renheng's mind stirred and he called out, "Come out, Chun Xing. It's time for you to work."
As his words fell, Chun Xing, who had been obediently hiding in his left ear and poking her head out to watch, moved.
With a whoosh, accompanied by a flash of dazzling golden-green light, her body gradually enlarged in midair until it finally returned to normal human size.
As soon as she landed, she fluttered the brilliant wings on her back and circled Qian Wushuang several times with a face full of curiosity, looking him up and down.
"Master, Master, is this the one Sister Ming Ji revived... your great-grandfather?" Chun Xing pointed at Qian Wushuang and said in a crisp voice.
"Hmm?!!!"
"Hmm?!!!"
Yue Guan had still been immersed in his sweet dream of immortal herbs, but when he saw a martial soul actually speak, his eyes instantly went wide.
Qian Wushuang stared at Chun Xing in even greater disbelief. He knew Qian Renheng's martial soul possessed intelligence, but this martial soul... could actually talk?!
"T-this... this..." Qian Wushuang prided himself on having the composure to remain unchanged even if Mount Tai collapsed before him, but ever since he was revived, the corner of his mouth had not stopped twitching.
He pointed at Chun Xing, but for a long while, he couldn't squeeze out a single word. A Detached Martial Soul was one thing, but this damn martial soul could actually talk?!
"Making a fuss over nothing!" Looking at the two shocked men, Chun Xing couldn't help pursing her lips in a smile. She planted her hands on her hips and said smugly, "Stunned, aren't you? You've really never seen the world. So what if a martial soul can talk?"
"Xiao Heng..." Qian Wushuang looked at the smug Chun Xing, then swallowed, as if saying, Explain this?
Qian Renheng breezily spouted complete nonsense. "It's like this, Great-Grandfather. My martial soul is a divine-level martial soul, and a rare Detached Martial Soul at that. It has considerable intelligence, so if the martial soul can speak, there's nothing particularly shocking about it, right?"
"This..." After listening, Qian Wushuang actually felt it seemed somewhat reasonable.
After all, Qian Renheng's martial soul could both revive the dead and accelerate plant growth by a full ten thousand times.
Something like a martial soul talking... seemed like it wasn't really worth being surprised over.
