Qian Renxue Consumes Immortal Herbs, Martial Soul Evolves!

As for giving an immortal herb to Qian Renxue, Jiang Yu had thought it through carefully.

He had obtained far too many immortal herbs; he could not possibly use them all by himself.

Besides, Qian Renxue was one of his few friends, and she had helped him twice in a row.

By both sentiment and reason, giving Qian Renxue an immortal herb was nothing much.

The Silken Tulip was the one Jiang Yu had selected from among the many immortal herbs as the most suitable for Qian Renxue.

After hearing Jiang Yu's introduction to the Silken Tulip, Qian Renxue's beautiful eyes beneath her disguise widened instantly in shock.

Martial soul evolution?

Those four words held an irresistible, deadly temptation for any soul master on the continent.

Her Six-Winged Angel martial soul was already among the continent's most powerful martial souls.

If it evolved further... how terrifying would it become?

Qian Renxue did not even dare imagine it.

"No, Jiang Yu, this is far too precious..."

Qian Renxue instinctively tried to decline, her voice carrying a faint, barely noticeable tremble.

But Jiang Yu gave her no chance to refuse and directly stuffed the radiant Silken Tulip into her palm.

"Don't refuse. You're my friend."

"Hurry and eat it. I'll stand guard for you."

Jiang Yu spoke in an unquestionable tone, his eyes filled with utter sincerity.

Qian Renxue held the immortal herb, still warm in her hands. A strange sensation came from her palm as a warm current flowed into it and instantly spread throughout her entire body.

From childhood to adulthood, Qian Renxue had lived amid endless schemes and missions. No one had ever truly cared for her, no one had ever valued her, much less given her a gift.

Jiang Yu was the first person to give her a gift.

He was also the only person to give her a gift.

At that moment, Jiang Yu's figure, along with those clear and resolute eyes of his, was deeply imprinted upon Qian Renxue's heart.

"Thank you, Jiang Yu!"

Qian Renxue no longer hesitated. Taking a deep breath, she sat cross-legged in the center of the secret chamber.

Following Jiang Yu's instructions, Qian Renxue picked up a petal and gently placed it into her mouth to chew.

The petal melted as soon as it entered her mouth, turning into a fragrant, sweet juice that slid down her throat and into her stomach.

Then—

Boom!

An indescribably vast medicinal power erupted within her body like a flood bursting through a broken dam!

A dense layer of violet-gold mist suddenly rose around Qian Renxue.

Her skin flickered in and out of view within the mist, becoming crystalline and flawless, smooth as jade, as though carved from the finest mutton-fat white jade.

Time passed second by second.

The violet-gold mist within the secret chamber grew denser and denser until it finally formed a massive cocoon of light, completely enveloping Qian Renxue.

Under the immortal herb's power, earth-shaking changes were taking place throughout Qian Renxue's body.

Rumble!

At that moment, a sacred, vast, supreme aura erupted from within the cocoon of light!

The entire underground secret chamber began shaking violently. The luminous pearls embedded in the walls flickered on and off, as if they might extinguish at any moment.

The next second, an incomparably dazzling pillar of golden light erupted with Qian Renxue at its center!

Ignoring the obstruction of the secret chamber's thick stone walls, the pillar tore through the Crown Prince's residence roof and shot straight into the clouds!

Countless civilians and soul masters throughout the city were shocked by the sudden pillar of light, each of them raising their heads curiously to look.

Within the imperial palace, Emperor Xue Ye stared at the golden pillar of light rising from the direction of the Crown Prince's residence, his face filled with alarm and bewilderment.

"Men, send someone to the Crown Prince's residence immediately! Find out what happened!"

"Yes!"

At his command, the guards beside him moved swiftly.

Within the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo Chen Xin had just returned and were discussing when to visit Jiang Yu.

But at that moment, the sky-piercing pillar of light caught their attention.

"What is this?! Such terrifying light energy!"

"That direction seems to be the Crown Prince's residence!"

"Uncle Sword, investigate immediately and find out what happened!"

Ning Fengzhi frowned and spoke to Sword Douluo beside him.

Inside the secret chamber, Jiang Yu was also stunned by the exaggerated commotion before him.

"Damn, what is going on!?"

"How could there be such a huge disturbance!?"

Jiang Yu found it extremely unexpected as well.

Jiang Yu knew how powerful Immortal Herbs were.

But he had never imagined that a Silken Tulip paired with the Six-Winged Angel martial soul could trigger such a terrifying celestial phenomenon!

When he had taken Immortal Herbs himself, why had there not been such a huge commotion?

Under Jiang Yu's astonished gaze, the cocoon of light slowly dispersed.

Behind Qian Renxue, the phantom of the Six-Winged Angel martial soul floated silently.

At the same time, the disguise on her face that belonged to "Xue Qinghe" completely vanished, revealing an incomparably beautiful face.

Her long golden hair draped smoothly over her shoulders, her skin was fair as snow, and her features were exquisite...

Even Jiang Yu was momentarily dazed upon seeing that face.

Then, an even more astonishing scene unfolded!

The three pairs of white wings of Qian Renxue's Six-Winged Angel martial soul suddenly spread wide, blazing with light!

Within the radiance, a fourth pair of brand-new wings slowly condensed and emerged from its back!

The Six-Winged Angel had evolved into the Eight-Winged Angel!

With the martial soul's evolution complete, Qian Renxue slowly opened her eyes.

Seeing that Qian Renxue had finished absorbing it, Jiang Yu blurted out instinctively.

"Brother Xue, you're so beautiful!"

Qian Renxue froze upon hearing this, then instinctively touched her face.

There was nothing there.

Her disguise... had vanished!

A blush immediately appeared on Qian Renxue's face, spreading from her snow-white neck to the tips of her ears.

Then, with a thought, Qian Renxue covered that breathtaking face with a layer of soul power once more, returning to the refined and gentle Xue Qinghe.

Just then, the anxious voices of Snake Spear Douluo and Porcupinefish Douluo suddenly came from outside the secret chamber.

"Young Master, are you inside!?"

"The disturbance just now was too great—it has already alarmed the entire Heaven Dou City!"

"Emperor Xue Ye has sent people to ask what happened!"

"What should we do now!?"

Hearing them, Qian Renxue's expression changed abruptly.

"Damn it! The commotion just now must have drawn everyone's attention!"

"What are we going to do now!?"

Qian Renxue's voice was full of anxiety.

The evolution of her martial soul should have been wonderful news, but one must not forget that Qian Renxue was currently an undercover agent!

If her identity was exposed, Spirit Hall's years-long infiltration plan would be ruined in an instant!

"Brother Xue, don't worry!"

Jiang Yu immediately calmed down and spoke rapidly.

"Just announce to the public that your original Swan martial soul underwent a mutated evolution!"

"You should be able to imitate martial souls, right?"

"Say that your Swan martial soul evolved into the so-called 'Holy Light Swan'! That should work, right?"

A glimmer of light flashed through Qian Renxue's anxious eyes upon hearing Jiang Yu's words.

"Looks like this is our only option!"

Qian Renxue agreed with Jiang Yu's suggestion.
