That's Huge! What a Mighty Presence!
Qian Daoliu slowly withdrew his palm, his face showing a hint of fatigue, but even more so, a sense of relief and undisguised shock.
Then he took another deep look at the Ivysaur. The divine patterns on the edge of its flower bud made even this Limit Douluo feel a sense of unfathomable depth.
Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue finally breathed a sigh of relief and quickly stepped forward.
Without hesitation, Bibi Dong took out a fragrant silk handkerchief and tenderly wiped away the dried bloodstains on Lin Xia's face and around her mouth and nose with extremely gentle movements.
"You silly child... you scared your teacher to death!"
Bibi Dong's voice trembled with lingering fear and a sob.
Qian Renxue also came closer, carefully examining Lin Xia, then looked at the Ivysaur beside her, which resembled a small mountain range, and exclaimed in amazement:
"Little brother, I'm so glad you're alright! Look at Ivysaur... wow, it's so big and impressive now!"
Qian Renxue looked at the Ivysaur curiosity and a hint of awe in her eyes.
Lin Xia felt the undisguised concern from her teacher and sister, and looked at her incredibly powerful companion beside her. Although her Soul Power had only increased by one level, she felt an unprecedented sense of security.
He gave Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue a tired but incredibly bright smile.
"Teacher, sister, I did it! And..."
Lin Xia patted the solid, metallic scales of the Ivysaur beside her.
"We have all become stronger."
Ivysaur let out a cheerful and deep "Dana--!"
The Vine Whip extended like a nimble snake, gently yet firmly Wrap around Lin Xia's waist.
Amidst Lin Xia's delighted exclamation, the Vine Whip exerted a slight force, lifting him steadily and gently placing him on its broad, solid back covered with thick, dark green scales, positioned just a little in front of the giant flower bud.
"Haha, Ivysaur, well done!"
Sitting on this brand-new "mount," Lin Xia's vision suddenly rose, overlooking the dazzling array of treasures and rare gems. A sense of novelty and pride welled up within her, and she couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Sensing its owner's joy, Ivysaur stretched out its strong limbs and began to stroll slowly across the smooth, warm white Plate.
The heavy footsteps, carrying a reassuring and steady rhythm, echoed softly in the empty treasure trove.
Sitting high above, feeling the immense vitality emanating from her companions below and their reassuring strides, Lin Xia's smile grew even brighter.
This scene caused Qian Daoliu, Bibi Dong, and Qian Renxue, who were standing to the side, to involuntarily smile slightly, their eyes revealing rare warmth and relief.
Qian Renxue covered her mouth and chuckled softly, happy for her younger brother and his friends.
Qian Daoliu looked at the small figure riding on the back of the giant beast, his eyes filled with the indulgence of an elder and a hint of testing, and spoke loudly.
"Xiao Xia, even the elders of the Spirit Hall rarely get to enter the Worship Hall Treasury more than a few times in their lives. Now that we've brought you in today, how can we leave empty-handed?"
"Your teacher is giving you this opportunity. Take whatever you like!"
Lin Xia turned around on her Ivysaur, and the giant Ivysaur stopped in response.
Lin Xia's eyes instantly lit up like stars as she looked at Qian Daoliu with unbelievable surprise.
"Teacher, are you serious? I can take things from here?"
Qian Daoliu his beard, his smile kind yet carrying an undeniable air of authority.
"Of course it's true. Take as much as you want! This is the opportunity you deserve."
Qian Daoliu surround the treasure trove.
"Every item here is prepared for the future of the Spirit Hall. Your growth is the greatest future for the Spirit Hall."
Upon receiving a definite promise, Lin Xia's heart began to beat faster.
Lin Xia patted the scales of the Ivysaur.
"Ivysaur, let's go for a walk!"
Ivysaur let out a low growl, took a step forward, and carried Lin Xia slowly through the treasure vault that resembled an inverted galaxy.
A human and a beast, their enormous figures weaving through mountains of rare metals, glowing Spirit Bone, and ancient artifacts.
Lin Xia's gaze was sharp and clear; he was not blinded by this boundless wealth.
His goal was very clear.
First, there are those poisonous substances that emit a fishy, sweet, bitter, or strangely sweet aroma, but whose energy fluctuations tend to be cold and Ability!
They are sealed in special jade boxes or crystal covers, and come in various shapes and sizes.
There are jet-black spiky fruits, colorful, slowly wriggling fungi that seem alive, and mineral dust condensed with an eerie purple glow... These are all the best food for Ivysaur's "life ability" and the catalyst for its rapid growth.
Without any hesitation, Lin Xia, guided by the Covet of Ivysaur in the soul connection, precisely selected several top-grade poisonous creatures of extremely high age and pure toxicity, and carefully wrapped them in his Soul Power to store them away.
Next, Lin Xia turned her gaze to the Cold Jade Platform area where the Whale Rubber had been stored.
The spurred Ivysaur walked over and, with a clear objective, took three pieces of Whale Rubber that were approximately ten thousand years old.
These are the "seeds," the foundation for my future attempts at using Whale Rubber of even older ages, or for further research into other possibilities related to Whale Rubber.
As for those Spirit Bones that shimmered with alluring light and were at least ten thousand years old, Lin Xia simply glanced at them calmly without lingering over them.
Lin Xia did not lack the need for Spirit Bone; rather, she had her own considerations.
Firstly, he already possesses the precious 30,000-year -Earth Rhinoceros Torso Bone given to him by Qian Renxue, which has not yet been fused with his body.
Secondly, although the Spirit Bone here are strong, their attributes are mostly biased towards fire and ice, which do not have the highest compatibility with his own poison and life attributes as well as Ivysaur's grass/poison/type.
He wouldn't settle for less than a perfect match.
Seeing Lin Xia ride Ivysaur, taking only a small amount of poison and a few pieces of Whale Rubber before stopping in front of him, a barely Frisk hint of approval flashed in Qian Daoliu's eyes, but he still spoke:
"Xiao Xia, don't be so reserved. Your teacher said you can have as much as you want. The resources here are meant to nurture geniuses like you. Spirit Bone, rare metals, secret scrolls—take as much as you like."
Lin Xia sat on the back of the Ivysaur, solemnly shaking her head at Qian Daoliu, her small face full of composure beyond her years.
"Thank you for your kindness, teacher. However, I believe that quality is more important than quantity. Trying to do too much at once will only lead to distraction."
"What I need most right now is to digest the boost from the Whale Rubber and build a solid foundation. The surge in Soul Power and physique is a good thing, but if my combat awareness and skills can't keep up, it will become a weakness, like a child wielding a giant hammer, hurting myself more than others."
"This disciple does not wish to be that kind of Soul Master. Besides..."
Lin Xia smiled, her expression filled with confidence in the future.
"Whatever I need in the future, I believe that with my own efforts and the support of my teacher, sister, and master, I will always find a more suitable opportunity. There will be more opportunities in the future, won't there?"
After these words were spoken, a brief silence fell over the treasure vault.
A sharp light flashed in Qian Daoliu's eyes, and his hand stroking his beard froze, his face filled with shock.
He never expected that a seven-year-old child could have such a clear understanding and such a profound vision!
This understanding of the essence of power and the planning of his own path far surpasses that of his peers, and even surpasses many established Soul Master.
