Sharing the Favor, Everyone Gets a Share

Consecration Hall!

"First Dad, Second Dad, Angel Uncle, Golden Crocodile Uncle, Lion Uncle, Azure Luan Uncle, Light Feather Uncle, I'm back."

Qiangu Aoshi's voice carried in from afar.

The seven Consecration Hall worshippers, who had been sitting in meditation, immediately awoke from their cultivation.

Thousand Jun and Demon Subduing were the happiest, while the other five worshippers began teasing them one after another.

"Thousand Jun, Demon Subduing, your precious son is back!"

"He's only been gone for a few days and he's already back. Don't tell me he got bullied outside and came home to ask you two to stand up for him?"

"If he really was bullied, then us old men will go stretch our bones together. Otherwise, people might really think we're dead!"

As they spoke, Qiangu Aoshi had already entered the inner hall.

Thousand Jun drifted forward and carefully inspected Qiangu Aoshi from head to toe. Only after confirming that he had neither lost an arm nor a leg, and did not even have a single wound, did he finally sigh in relief.

"Aoshi, why did you come back after only being out for a few days?"

"We thought you'd been bullied. But looking at how lively you are, you don't seem like someone who was bullied."

Demon Subduing patted his chest, a fierce glint flashing through his eyes.

"Aoshi, if someone really bullied you, your First Dad and Second Dad will back you up. The soul bones on Tang Hao were of extremely high quality. Taking the chance to absorb them, your First Dad and I have already broken through to rank 97 soul power."

"On this Douluo Continent, no one can bully our son."

Qiangu Aoshi's heart felt warm. These were his blood relatives.

"First Dad, Second Dad, I did run into some trouble during this trip, but it wasn't a bad thing. It was actually a good thing."

"The Golden Iron Triangle came to make trouble for me. I knocked out their soul power and broke through to rank 80 in one go. After that, Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo came knocking together. I burst out their soul power, and my actual soul power has already reached rank 90. I just don't have soul rings yet, so it can't be displayed."

"I came back this time to ask First Dad and Second Dad to hold the line while we head into the Star Dou Great Forest and kill those two beast kings—the Titan Giant Ape and the Azure Sky Bull Python."

Hiss!

A chorus of sharp intakes of breath rang through the Consecration Hall.

Only a few days had passed, yet Qiangu Aoshi's soul power had soared so rapidly that he was already preparing to absorb his eighth and ninth soul rings.

Qiangu Aoshi had always cultivated quickly. He had broken through to rank 50 soul power at the age of twelve, but after that, the growth of his soul power had become like boarding a train.

In less than two months, he had reached rank 90 soul power.

Qiangu Aoshi's rapid advancement was also thanks to all those experience packs that had delivered themselves to his door.

Immovable Bright King Zhao Wuji!

Clear Sky Douluo Tang Hao!

The Golden Iron Triangle!

Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo!

There had never been such high-quality experience packs in Spirit Hall's Black Prison before.

Thousand Jun slapped his thigh and looked at Qiangu Aoshi with blazing eyes.

"Let's go. We'll set off right now and hunt your eighth and ninth soul rings, so you can become a Titled Douluo as soon as possible."

However, Qiangu Aoshi shook his head and began rummaging through the treasure pouch at his waist.

"First Dad, there's no rush. I also brought back gifts for all of you."

He first took out a huge purple chrysanthemum and handed it to Thousand Jun.

"First Dad, this is the immortal herb Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum. Eating it nourishes the limbs and lets blood flow through all eight meridians. It can cultivate an indestructible diamond body and will definitely allow your cultivation to advance further."

Thousand Jun held the Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum and examined it from side to side. The more he looked, the more familiar it seemed.

"Isn't this the martial soul of that Yue Guan from the Elder Hall? Does this Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum really have such great effects?"

Qiangu Aoshi smiled.

"You'll know once you refine it, First Dad."

Afterward, Qiangu Aoshi gave the Ink Jade Divine Bamboo to Demon Subduing.

"Second Dad, this is Ink Jade Divine Bamboo. Once you open it, drink the juice inside. It can make your martial soul tougher, unleash more powerful attacks, and raise your soul power as well. You can regard it as an opportunity for your strength to break through again."

Demon Subduing accepted the Ink Jade Divine Bamboo. He could sense an extraordinarily vast energy within the bamboo, and a trace of anticipation flashed through his eyes.

If his strength improved again, he would become a rank 98 peak Douluo.

Qiangu Aoshi also gave each of the uncles watching eagerly their prepared immortal herbs.

"Golden Crocodile Uncle, this is the immortal herb Earth Dragon Golden Gourd. After absorbing it, it may allow your Golden Crocodile King bloodline to advance further."

"Lion Uncle, this is the immortal herb Lionheart Peony..."

"Azure Luan Uncle..."

"Light Feather Uncle..."

Qiangu Aoshi made sure to share the favor evenly, giving every worshipper an immortal herb. Even Qian Daoliu received one.

"Angel Uncle, your strength has already reached the pinnacle. This immortal herb is called Nine-Leaf Black Jade Ginseng. It replenishes qi and blood, strengthens one's foundation, and extends one's lifespan. I wish Angel Uncle a long life of a thousand years."

Qian Daoliu's eyes narrowed with a smile, his face filled with kind and benevolent warmth. He accepted the Nine-Leaf Black Jade Ginseng and reached out to rub Qiangu Aoshi's head.

"Good child, I'm already very satisfied that you have such thoughtfulness. I want to save this immortal herb for Xue'er."

The more Qian Daoliu looked at Qiangu Aoshi now, the more satisfied he became. Not only was he powerful, but he also knew how to honor his elders. Such an excellent future grandson-in-law could not be found even with a lantern.

Qiangu Aoshi smiled.

"Angel Uncle, this Nine-Leaf Black Jade Ginseng is for you. Sister Xue'er has already taken Sunshine Rose. Her soul power has risen from rank 64 to rank 70, and her flames have been purified to the ultimate fire."

Qian Daoliu froze for a moment, then the smile on his face grew even broader.

Good child. He knew how to cherish his wife.

With Qiangu Aoshi assisting her in the future, whenever Xue'er returned to Spirit Hall, she would be able to seize Spirit Hall's authority back from Bibi Dong.

"These immortal herbs are far from ordinary. Aoshi, where did you get them all?"

Qiangu Aoshi explained that he had found them in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well within Sunset Forest, and that he had also subdued Poison Douluo Dugu Bo while he was at it.

The expressions of the seven worshippers became rather strange. This was practically stripping Dugu Bo clean—he had taken the man's herb garden and even recruited the man as his subordinate.

Golden Crocodile weighed the heavy Earth Dragon Golden Gourd in his hand.

"Everyone, Aoshi is so filial. He went out and still remembered to bring us gifts. If we uncles don't do something in return, how could we have the nerve to accept his gifts?"

Lion nodded in agreement.

"I think so too. Aoshi, you're going to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt those two beast kings for your eighth and ninth soul rings, so we'll accompany you."

"One Azure Sky Bull Python and one Titan Giant Ape. If all of us attack together, they'll have no path to heaven and no door into the earth. They can only obediently become Aoshi's eighth and ninth soul rings."

Azure Luan and Light Feather agreed unanimously as well.

Qiangu Aoshi was both startled and delighted. Hunting two soul rings for himself had actually mobilized the entire Consecration Hall.

For the Azure Sky Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape, it was likely no different from the sky collapsing.
