Qian Renxue's Recruitment

"What did he just say? He said he could cure the poison in my body. How did he know I was poisoned?"

Wang Feng's words instantly jolted Dugu Yan awake. The poison within her came from the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor. While she had inherited the formidable poison of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor, her body had also inherited its backlash. Although it had not flared up yet, as she grew older and the poison became stronger, its backlash would grow more severe as well. Once it erupted, the pain would be unbearable.

She had seen the terrifying state her grandfather was in when the poison backfired.

Wang Feng had just said he could help her deal with the poison in her body. Could it be true?

Thinking of how Wang Feng was immune to her poison, perhaps it really was true.

After coming back to her senses, Dugu Yan wanted to find Wang Feng and ask him about it, but he was nowhere to be seen.

"No, I have to ask him whether it's true. If he really can cure my poison, what's wrong with being his girlfriend?"

Curing the poison in her body had always been the most important thing to her. If Wang Feng truly could cure it, she would no longer have to suffer from its backlash.

With that thought, Dugu Yan quickly went after Wang Feng. Yet after searching for a long while, she still did not see him.

"How could that be? He clearly left in this direction just now. Did he go back to his dormitory?"

She went to Wang Feng's dormitory to look for him, but still could not find him.

After asking around, she learned that Wang Feng had been summoned away by Crown Prince Xue Qinghe.

Desperate to know whether Wang Feng could cure her poison, Dugu Yan went straight to his residence to wait for his return.

Meanwhile, Wang Feng had followed Xue Qinghe to a residence.

After telling Dugu Yan that he could cure the poison in her body, Wang Feng had originally planned to return to his dormitory and wait for her to seek him out, after which the two of them would do certain indescribable things.

He had already worked out the entire plan, but Xue Qinghe had unexpectedly come looking for him. Wang Feng roughly knew why Xue Qinghe had sought him out. It was nothing more than the resonance between his Martial Soul and hers.

Xue Qinghe was probably trying to recruit him now.

After entering the room and taking a seat, Xue Qinghe smiled. "Wang Feng, congratulations on joining Heaven Dou Royal Academy's Spirit Battle Team One. I also heard that, with the strength of a Soul Grandmaster, you defeated Dugu Yan. Such strength is truly astonishing."

"Not at all. I should be thanking Your Highness for bringing me into Heaven Dou Royal Academy. If you hadn't brought me in, getting accepted might have been a problem."

"No need to be so polite. A genius like you joining Heaven Dou Royal Academy adds talent to the empire. As the crown prince of the Heaven Dou Empire, it is only right that I help you."

Qian Renxue had indeed summoned Wang Feng because she wanted to recruit him, even make him one of her own people.

Originally, she had considered revealing her identity directly and bringing Wang Feng under her command by having him join Spirit Hall.

But then she remembered that she was still undercover and could not reveal her identity. She also worried that, because she did not know Wang Feng well, she might expose herself. Therefore, she decided to first get acquainted with Wang Feng, the person who could make her Martial Soul resonate. She would recruit him under the identity of the crown prince.

After chatting for a while longer, Xue Qinghe said bluntly, "Wang Feng, now that you've entered the Spirit Battle Team, your training must be quite arduous as you prepare for the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Tournament two years from now. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, you can tell me. If there's anything I can do to help, I certainly will."

Wang Feng also understood the meaning behind Xue Qinghe's words. Help meant recruitment. Once he accepted her help, he would owe her a favor, and one day he would have to repay it.

But Wang Feng did not care. After all, his Martial Soul could resonate with Qian Renxue's Six-Winged Angel. Perhaps one day, he might even have an intimate encounter with Qian Renxue.

Right now, he happened to be looking for a catalogue of Immortal Herbs. He remembered that Chrysanthemum Douluo of Spirit Hall possessed one. Since Xue Qinghe had come to him of her own accord, there was no reason to refuse.

Thinking this, Wang Feng said, "There is indeed something I need Your Highness's help with. I wonder..."

"Oh? Tell me."

"I'm rather interested in medicinal herbs. Could Your Highness help me collect a catalogue concerning rare flowers, exotic plants, and medicinal herbs? The more comprehensive, the better."

"Medicinal herbs, and a catalogue of rare flowers and exotic plants... Hmm, I understand. After I return, I can help you look for one. Once I've gathered it, I'll have someone deliver it to you in a few days. Would that be acceptable?"

Xue Qinghe agreed without hesitation. As for what Wang Feng wanted such a thing for, she did not care.

Wang Feng said gratefully, "Thank you, Your Highness. If Your Highness has any orders in the future, I will certainly do my utmost to help."

Xue Qinghe was very satisfied with Wang Feng's attitude. After the two chatted for a while longer, and seeing that it was getting late, Xue Qinghe finally let Wang Feng leave.

"Medicinal herbs, rare flowers, and exotic plants... The imperial palace does not have many records on such matters. Poison Douluo knows a little, but not much."

"Mm! I remember that Elder Chrysanthemum has studied this area, and his records are quite complete. I can have him copy out a set for me."

Xue Qinghe took Wang Feng's request seriously. Since she had promised to help him, she naturally intended to do it wholeheartedly.

After Wang Feng left, Xue Qinghe quickly wrote a letter and had someone take it back to Spirit Hall, instructing Chrysanthemum Douluo to copy out a catalogue of medicinal herbs, rare flowers, and exotic plants for her, as comprehensive as possible.

"It isn't suitable to reveal my identity to Wang Feng yet. I can only recruit him first and spend some time getting to know him. Once I've figured out his character, I'll decide what to do next."

After Wang Feng left, he returned to his residence, intending to cultivate. But the moment he entered his room and saw the person inside, he froze.

"Dugu Yan, why are you here?"

Yes, the person in Wang Feng's room at that moment was Dugu Yan.

Seeing Wang Feng return, Dugu Yan asked anxiously, "Earlier, when you said you could cure my poison, was that true?"

"Oh, that? It probably is."

As Wang Feng spoke, he poured himself a glass of water, took a drink, and sat down leisurely.

If Xue Qinghe took the matter seriously, then barring any surprises, she would help him obtain a catalogue of Immortal Herbs from Chrysanthemum Douluo.

That way, he would have the catalogue of Immortal Herbs.

Next, all he had to do was win over Dugu Yan.

As long as he won over Dugu Yan, obtaining the Immortal Herbs would be within reach.

As for how to win her over, Wang Feng had already thought it through.

"What do you mean, probably? Wang Feng, you were able to see the poison in my body earlier, so you must have a way, right? I know this may be abrupt, but it is too important to me. Can you tell me clearly whether you can help cure the poison in my body?" Dugu Yan asked anxiously as she looked at Wang Feng.

"Well, I do know that you've been poisoned, and it was caused by your Martial Soul. You must have inherited this poison when you inherited the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor Poison. The color of your hair and your pupils were also caused by this poison, weren't they?"

"Mm."

Dugu Yan nodded in agreement. Other than her grandfather and herself, no one knew about this. Now that Wang Feng knew the source of her poison, could it also be true that he could cure it?

"I do have a method that might be able to help you detoxify yourself, but..."

"But what?"

Dugu Yan seemed to recall Wang Feng asking her to be his girlfriend earlier and hurriedly agreed. "If you can cure my poison, I agree to be your girlfriend."

Although Dugu Yan did not know Wang Feng very well and the two had only just met, Wang Feng was handsome. Handsome was justice. Moreover, he was strong and talented, fully meeting her standards for a partner.

More importantly, only if Wang Feng truly could cure her poison could she have a relationship with him.

Earlier, she had also noticed that Yu Tianheng was interested in her, but she had not pointed it out. Mainly because of her poison, Yu Tianheng could not endure it at all right now. Besides, she did not want to harm Yu Tianheng.

"Well, what I mean is that I can't be sure yet whether I can cure your poison, so I need to test it."

Wang Feng's words made Dugu Yan slightly embarrassed. She asked, "Is that so? Then how do you want to test it?"

Wang Feng took out a bottle and said, "Like this. Circulate your poison technique and release some of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor Poison from your body into here. Let me test whether it can be cured. If it can, then I'll help you."

"Alright." After Dugu Yan agreed, she circulated her poison technique and forced some Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor Poison into the bottle. "Then what?"

"My experiment will take some time. How about this? Go back first and wait for my news. If it works, I'll tell you."

"Alright, then."

Dugu Yan looked at Wang Feng expectantly before finally leaving his dormitory.

No one knew how desperately she wished to be cured.
