At that moment, Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan, standing nearby, could no longer suppress the turmoil in his heart. His voice trembled as he asked:
"Y-Young Master! May this subordinate boldly ask... can your second martial soul really accelerate a plant's growth by ten thousand times?!"
Yue Guan's breathing quickened, his chest heaving violently as he stared intently at Qian Renheng.
Across all of Spirit City—even the entire Douluo Continent—if anyone claimed to be second in their understanding of plants, no one would dare call themselves first before Yue Guan! He was Spirit Hall's foremost master of plant cultivation!
For years, his Soul Power Level had remained stuck at level ninety-five, unable to advance even an inch. He had dreamed of finding a way to cultivate a legendary Immortal Grade Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum through artificial means, hoping to make the origin of his martial soul more complete!
After all, his martial soul was the Immortal Grade Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum. If he could obtain one of those precious herbs...
But Immortal Grade spirit herbs were divine treasures that seized the creation of heaven and earth. How could a mere mortal like him possibly cultivate one?!
Without a special environment and the accumulation of countless years, it was nothing more than a fool's dream!
After suffering countless failures, he had long since lost heart and completely given up on cultivating Immortal Herbs through human effort.
Yet this morning, the Great Elder had suddenly summoned their group of core elders and announced a top-secret matter!
Spirit Hall's young master, Qian Renheng, had awakened twin mutated martial souls. His first martial soul possessed the heaven-defying ability to resurrect the dead.
Moreover, those resurrected were completely under the young master's control and returned in their peak condition! The former pope and the former pope's younger brother had already been resurrected.
In other words, Spirit Hall now had three peerless Douluo powerhouses watching over it!
That alone was enough to shock anyone. But what left Yue Guan dizzy with excitement, and was directly related to him, was that the young master's second martial soul could grant plants a growth speed ten thousand times faster!
A full ten thousand times! What did that mean?!
It meant that with only ten short years of waiting, the ordinary Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum he had personally planted could transform into an Immortal Grade Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum!
Ten years was not a long wait for a Title Douluo...
"It's true." Qian Renheng looked at Yue Guan with a smile. "I've long heard that Elder Ju loves rare and exotic flora, and that you are even Spirit Hall's chief master of herb cultivation. I imagine Elder Ju must know Immortal Herbs very well?"
Upon receiving confirmation, Yue Guan could no longer restrain his excitement. He took a deep breath and solemnly said, "I do, I do, very well!"
"Immortal Herbs are exceedingly rare treasures of this world, capable of seizing the creation of heaven and earth and defying fate itself. If an ordinary Soul Master obtained and absorbed one, their achievements could catch up to those of top-tier Soul Masters!"
"If a top-tier Soul Master obtained and absorbed one, their future achievements would be beyond imagination!"
"This subordinate was once fortunate enough to read information regarding Immortal Herbs in an Immortal Herb Illustrated Handbook!"
"Young Master... to be honest, this subordinate's martial soul is an Immortal Grade Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum. If I were fortunate enough to obtain an Immortal Grade Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum and absorb it..."
"The origin of this subordinate's martial soul would become even more complete. Even my Soul Power Level, which has stagnated for many years, could break through its shackles in one stroke and advance into the realm of a Super Douluo!"
Yue Guan spoke in a rapid stream, the intense fervor in his eyes nearly taking tangible form!
Immortal Herbs... they were the ultimate goal he had spent his entire life desperately seeking!
He had already given up, even fallen completely into despair over it. Yet today... the matter announced by the Great Elder had once again illuminated his darkened life!
"That's good..." Qian Renheng nodded with a smile, not forgetting to paint a grand picture. "Elder Ju and Elder Gui have served Spirit Hall for many years, toiling tirelessly and exhausting yourselves for its sake. Once the Immortal Herbs mature, each of you will receive one!"
Upon hearing this, Yue Guan's face filled with fervor. He immediately bowed deeply to Qian Renheng. "On behalf of Gui Mei, this subordinate thanks the young master!!!"
This trip had not been in vain. If the two of them both obtained Immortal Herbs suited to them, becoming Super Douluo was within reach!
If they both reached the realm of Super Douluo, then the effect of their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Polar Static Domain, would become even more terrifying!
Immortal Herbs could defy fate for others. For Title Douluo like them, who had been stuck at level ninety-five for years, they could likewise defy fate!
At that moment, Qian Wushuang chuckled as he took an exquisitely crafted Storage Soul Tool from his robes.
The Soul Tool resembled a broad bracelet. Its entire body was forged from Deep Sea Silver, its surface inlaid with all manner of beautiful gemstones as decoration.
"Xiao Heng, this is a Storage Soul Tool. It contains the first batch of herbs we prepared!" Qian Wushuang handed the Storage Soul Tool over.
Qian Renheng reached out and accepted the weighty bracelet, immediately sending a thread of Soul Power into it.
The next second, the scene inside the Storage Soul Tool appeared clearly before his eyes.
There were countless varieties of herbs inside, sorted into specially made jade boxes to prevent their medicinal effects from dissipating.
Qian Renheng gave the herbs a rough glance and spotted several he was fairly familiar with.
There were Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemums, Aromatic Silk Beauties, and Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflowers. Of course, none of these herbs were particularly old; they were merely high-grade herbs with excellent growth, still unimaginably far from becoming Immortal Herbs.
As for the densely packed remaining herbs, he could not even name most of them. After all, he had not studied botany in his previous life.
"A full thousand plants..." Qian Renheng's eyes grew burning hot. "As long as they're placed inside the Life Realm, they'll become a thousand Immortal Herbs in just ten short years!"
With that thought, Qian Renheng called out with a thought, "Come out, Chun Xing. It's time for you to work."
As soon as his words fell, Chun Xing, who had been obediently hiding in his left ear with her head poking out to look around, moved.
With a whoosh, accompanied by a dazzling flash of golden-green light, her body gradually enlarged in midair until she returned to the size of a normal person.
The moment she landed, she fluttered her dazzling wings and circled Qian Wushuang several times with a curious expression, looking him up and down.
"Master, Master, is this the... Great-grandfather of yours whom Sister Ming Ji resurrected?" Chun Xing pointed at Qian Wushuang and asked in a crisp voice.
"Hmm?!!!"
"Hmm?!!!"
Yue Guan, who had been immersed in his dream of Immortal Herbs, instantly widened his eyes when he saw that a martial soul could actually speak.
Qian Wushuang stared at Chun Xing in disbelief. He knew that Qian Renheng's martial soul possessed intelligence, but this martial soul... could actually talk?!
"Th-this..." Qian Wushuang prided himself on possessing the composure to remain unshaken even if Mount Tai collapsed before him, yet ever since his resurrection, the corner of his mouth had not stopped twitching.
He pointed at Chun Xing, but could not force out a single word for a long while. Detached Martial Souls were one thing, but this damned martial soul could actually speak?!
"What are you making such a fuss about?" Chun Xing looked at the two shocked men, unable to stop herself from pursing her lips in a smile. With her hands on her hips, she said smugly, "Amazed, aren't you? You're so ignorant. What's so strange about a martial soul being able to talk?"
"Xiao Heng..." Qian Wushuang looked at the smug Chun Xing and swallowed, as though saying, Explain this?
Qian Renheng casually made up an excuse. "It's like this, Great-Grandfather. My martial soul is a God-Level Martial Soul, and also a rare Detached Martial Soul. It possesses considerable intelligence, so it being able to speak doesn't seem all that surprising, right?!"
"Th-this..." After hearing that, Qian Wushuang actually felt it made some sense.
After all, Qian Renheng's martial soul could resurrect the dead and accelerate plant growth by a full ten thousand times. A martial soul being able to speak... did not seem all that surprising anymore.
