Chen Xi took a couple of bites of breakfast, his gaze fixed on Azure Luan, a trace of contemplation appearing in his eyes.

"Teacher, I have a rather presumptuous question."

"What is it?"

Azure Luan looked at Chen Xi's eyes with great interest.

"Teacher, what is your current Soul Power Level?"

Chen Xi asked softly.

"My Soul Power Level?"

"I am currently a level ninety-seven Peak Douluo. With another seventy or eighty years of cultivation, I may be able to reach the Second Worship's level."

"Xiao Xi, why are you suddenly asking this?"

Azure Luan lightly tapped his fingers against the table, producing a soft tapping sound.

"This may be useful to you, Teacher."

Chen Xi took out a Mystic Herb: Aromatic Silk Beauty from his Storage Bracelet and placed it before Azure Luan.

"This is?"

Azure Luan looked at the Mystic Herb before him. He could clearly sense its extraordinary nature, but he did not know what it was called.

"Aromatic Silk Beauty."

"It can distinguish spiritual treasures of heaven and earth and is known as the king of Mystic Herbs. Absorbing it can raise one's Soul Power."

"Teacher, you should be able to use it."

Chen Xi briefly explained Aromatic Silk Beauty's effects.

"Aromatic Silk Beauty."

"A rare Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures. Good stuff."

"You should keep something this good for yourself."

"Your teacher's strength is already rarely matched on the continent. Strictly speaking, Aromatic Silk Beauty would not be of much use to me anymore."

"You may not know this, but I may reach level ninety-eight after a few more decades. Yet the Soul Power required to advance from level ninety-eight to ninety-nine is like an insurmountable chasm."

"Thus, level ninety-eight is already the limit I can reach. And I can reach that limit on my own; it is merely a matter of time. There is no need to use some so-called Mystic Herb as assistance."

"Knowing that you have such intentions already makes your teacher very happy."

Azure Luan gently stroked Chen Xi's hair.

Hearing Azure Luan's words and feeling his touch, Chen Xi could not help but pause in a daze.

Chen Xi truly had not expected this outcome.

Moreover, after considering things from Azure Luan's perspective, Chen Xi felt that there did not seem to be any major issue with it.

After all, judging by the lifespan of ordinary Soul Masters, a level ninety-eight Peak Douluo was already the pinnacle an ordinary Soul Master could attain.

As for level ninety-nine, without some great opportunity or absurdly heaven-defying talent, it truly was an insurmountable peak.

Take the three Ultimate Douluo in the current Soul Master world, for example.

Qian Daoliu, invincible in the skies, possessed the Angel God's direct bloodline. The quality of his martial soul was nearly at the very pinnacle of all martial souls, and he was also the Angel God's Divine Envoy.

Bo Saixi, invincible in the oceans, was the Sea God's representative and the High Priest of Sea God Island. She possessed the blessings left behind by the Sea God and the Sea God's trials. Anyone living on Sea God Island could participate in those trials.

Tang Chen, invincible on land, had no divine background, but he was the type blessed with heaven-defying talent. He had developed Ring Detonation and forcibly turned a broken hammer meant for blacksmithing into the martial soul of the once-renowned number one sect in the world. Moreover, he had once been the Asura God's chosen successor.

Everyone knew that the Asura God was the deity in the God Realm who treated his successors best. Whether he had secretly opened some back door for them was truly hard to say.

After all, the Asura God's inheritance cast a wide net to catch more fish. As long as one passed the Hell Road, they were considered to have automatically completed the first trial.

After thinking it over repeatedly.

Chen Xi pushed the Aromatic Silk Beauty back in front of Azure Luan.

"Teacher, what if you manage to break through the shackles of level ninety-eight in the future?"

"Besides, Aromatic Silk Beauty can not only raise Soul Power, but also improve one's aptitude. No one can predict the future. Every bit of additional strength is a good thing. Please accept it, Teacher. Consider it a small token of filial respect from your disciple."

Chen Xi's tone was extremely earnest. His dark purple eyes, like gemstones, looked at the situation before him.

"Alright."

"Teacher will keep it for you for now. If you need it in the future, come take it from me."

Azure Luan gave a soft laugh and put away the Aromatic Silk Beauty.

Seeing Azure Luan accept the Aromatic Silk Beauty, Chen Xi's eyes curved into crescents.

Before long.

Breakfast was finished.

Chen Xi followed Azure Luan out of the room and headed to the place where Spirit Hall had clothes custom-made.

After having a maid take Chen Xi's measurements, Chen Xi chose a style primarily in white.

"Use Cloud Brocade, with gold and silver threads. There must not be the slightest mistake in either the details or the style."

After giving this instruction, Azure Luan led Chen Xi outside.

On the way back.

Chen Xi looked at Azure Luan beside him and asked softly, "Teacher, where does Elder Chrysanthemum live?"

"When I was at the Training Camp, I met Elder Chrysanthemum and found that he was very knowledgeable about Mystic Herbs and medicinal herbs. Therefore, I would like to pay him a visit."

Hearing this, Azure Luan smiled.

"When it comes to flowers and plants, Yue Guan is the most knowledgeable person in all of Spirit Hall."

"Yue Guan lives on the far left side of the Elder Hall. There are many flowers and plants placed outside his door. You will see them when you get there."

Azure Luan pointed in the direction of Yue Guan's residence.

"Teacher, then I will go pay Elder Yue Guan a visit first."

Chen Xi bowed to Azure Luan.

"Go on."

Azure Luan gave a slight nod and headed toward the Worship Hall.

Following Azure Luan's directions, Chen Xi headed toward Yue Guan's residence.

After entering the Elder Hall, Chen Xi walked toward the far left.

Very soon, Chen Xi caught the faint fragrance of flowers, and many exotic flowers and rare herbs came into view ahead.

Arriving at the courtyard gate, Chen Xi raised his hand and knocked three times.

"Elder Chrysanthemum, are you there?"

"Chen Xi, disciple of the Third Elder of the Worship Hall, has come to pay you a visit."

Chen Xi's somewhat soft and sweet voice came from his mouth.

As for why Chen Xi had deliberately mentioned the Third Elder first, it was because Chen Xi had only entered the Worship Hall yesterday. What if Chrysanthemum Douluo did not know who Chen Xi was and refused to see him?

After considering everything, Chen Xi added the Third Elder's title before his own name.

With a creak.

The door opened, and Yue Guan appeared before Chen Xi.

"Please come in."

Yue Guan's voice was somewhat effeminate, and a faint smile rested on his face.

Chen Xi did not enter immediately. Instead, Chen Xi first gave Yue Guan a slight bow before stepping into his courtyard.

After all, one could never go wrong with being polite.

The moment Chen Xi entered Yue Guan's courtyard, Chen Xi discovered that it was nearly filled with exotic flowers and rare herbs.

A gentle breeze swept through, stirring the exotic flowers and rare herbs. As they swayed softly, they looked exceptionally beautiful.

"Well? Is it beautiful?"

Yue Guan looked at Chen Xi's expression and asked softly.
