Snow Swan Kiss

Yue Guan ultimately failed to stop the resolute Ling Jing. After all, Ling Jing was the soon-to-be-appointed Holy Son of Spirit Hall, valued even by the elders of Worship Hall, and he was not entirely ignorant of Immortal Herbs.

Most importantly, Bibi Dong had agreed with Ling Jing's decision.

Though Bibi Dong was equally worried, under the influence of the Soul Contract, she could still sense Ling Jing's confidence and naturally did not try to stop him.

Watching Ling Jing, who had already consumed the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Infernal Delicate Apricot and was soaking in the springwater, Bibi Dong finally turned her gaze toward Yue Guan.

"Elder Yue Guan, among these Immortal Herbs... are there any suitable for me?"

As soon as she spoke, Yue Guan hurriedly nodded. "Holy Maiden, your martial souls are twin top-tier spider martial souls, and you wield potent poison. In that case, this Snow Swan Kiss is the Immortal Herb most suited to you."

"Snow Swan Kiss itself is not poisonous, but its terrifying quality is that any poison that comes into contact with it will be amplified and multiplied by hundreds or thousands of times. If you can successfully absorb this poison, Holy Maiden, I believe no one in this world will be able to withstand your poison."

"Furthermore, this Aromatic Silk Beauty is also highly suitable for you, Holy Maiden. Aromatic Silk Beauty is the bane of all poisons and can neutralize any toxin. You may hold it while consuming the Snow Swan Kiss to ensure your safety."

"Oh?"

Bibi Dong's eyes shifted slightly as her gaze swept across the Immortal Herbs scattered over the ground, a sharp gleam flashing in her eyes.

These Immortal Herbs possessed such precious effects. If every elder of Worship Hall, as well as her teacher, could take one... wouldn't Spirit Hall's strength undergo a qualitative leap?

As for the remaining Immortal Herbs, they could be stored for the time being and given to future talented disciples of Spirit Hall.

Meanwhile, Elder Yue Guan could continue cultivating Immortal Herbs here at the Icefire Yin Yang Well. Before long, these Immortal Herbs would surely grow again, endlessly helping Spirit Hall increase its strength!

"Elder Yue Guan, carefully organize all the Immortal Herbs within the Icefire Yin Yang Well and their effects. Record everything, then have Elder Gui deliver it to my teacher. This matter is of great importance. There must not be the slightest mistake!"

Hearing this, Yue Guan and Gui Mei exchanged a glance, then both nodded solemnly.

"I will consume my Immortal Herb first. This place... shall temporarily be entrusted to you two."

With that, Bibi Dong nodded to Gui Mei and Yue Guan. Carrying the Snow Swan Kiss and Aromatic Silk Beauty, she went to an open patch nearby and consumed them petal by petal according to the method explained earlier.

Seeing Golden Crocodile Douluo, Ling Jing, and Bibi Dong consume Immortal Herbs one after another, a trace of longing appeared in Gui Mei's eyes.

He could not help looking at Yue Guan, who was intently recording the Immortal Herbs nearby, and lowered his voice. "I remember you said there was an Immortal Herb called the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, right? That herb... should be especially compatible with you, shouldn't it?"

At his words, Yue Guan's gaze unconsciously drifted toward the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, and a look of fascination surfaced in his eyes.

However, Yue Guan quickly sighed. "The Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum is indeed the Immortal Herb best suited to me, but... how these herbs are distributed will surely be decided by His Holiness the Pope. Even if they are handed out, the elders of Worship Hall will be given priority."

"You discovered the Icefire Yin Yang Well and recorded so many Immortal Herbs in such detail. His Holiness the Pope will definitely see your contribution. As long as you ask, the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum will be yours!"

Gui Mei's voice seemed to grow much more excited, but Yue Guan shook his head, stopping what he wanted to say next.

"If His Highness the Holy Son had not recognized these Immortal Herbs, then my contribution might indeed have been considerable. But... the Holy Son is not merely familiar with a portion of them, as he claimed. At the very least, I did not know that after taking those two Immortal Herbs, one could enter the springwater to temper the body."

"We should just do our jobs properly. Speaking of which, I also saw an Immortal Herb that is especially suitable for you. If the two of us truly receive Immortal Herbs..."

Before he could finish, a long howl suddenly rang throughout the entire valley.

Immediately afterward, a powerful aura erupted from Golden Crocodile Douluo. Yet the terrifying aura soon gradually subsided, and Golden Crocodile Douluo abruptly opened his sharp, gleaming eyes.

Golden Crocodile Douluo let out a heavy breath of turbid air, his face filled with delight.

The barrier between Peak Douluo and Peerless Douluo had troubled him for far too long.

Today, he had finally fulfilled his long-cherished wish and successfully stepped into the realm of Peerless Douluo!

Spirit Hall now had two Peerless Douluo overseeing it!

Even if he might not be as powerful as his eldest brother, his cultivation as a rank ninety-nine Peerless Douluo was indisputable!

Noticing Golden Crocodile Douluo's expression, Yue Guan and Gui Mei immediately stepped forward to congratulate him. "Congratulations, Second Worship, on becoming a Peerless Douluo."

Hearing them, Golden Crocodile Douluo coughed twice and nodded reservedly.

"Little Jing and Bibi Dong have both taken Immortal Herbs, correct? What Immortal Herbs did they take?"

"Reporting to Second Worship, His Highness the Holy Son took the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Infernal Delicate Apricot. Taking the two together, then soaking in the waters of the Icefire Yin Yang Well, has the effect of tempering the body. Holy Maiden Bibi Dong took the Snow Swan Kiss, whose effect is to make her poison an unparalleled venom that few in the world can counter."

Hearing this, Golden Crocodile Douluo swept his gaze over Ling Jing and Bibi Dong before nodding.

"Furthermore, Holy Maiden Bibi Dong instructed this subordinate to compile all the Immortal Herbs and report them together to His Holiness the Pope, who will decide the ownership of these Immortal Herbs."

"Grandpa Golden Crocodile."

Ling Jing's slightly strained voice suddenly sounded, instantly drawing Golden Crocodile Douluo's attention.

Ling Jing rose from the springwater of the Icefire Yin Yang Well, dressed himself with clothes taken from his Soul Tool, and walked out. In a steady voice, he said, "This time, Elder Yue and Elder Gui have also rendered considerable service. Could the two of them receive an Immortal Herb each as a reward?"

While tempering his body in the Icefire Yin Yang Well, Ling Jing had heard Yue Guan and Gui Mei's conversation.

Although the two of them would likely receive Immortal Herbs after reporting back to Qian Xunji, if he were the one to raise the matter... Yue Guan and Gui Mei would owe him a favor. It would be much easier to make use of them in the future.

Though Yue Guan and Gui Mei were not as powerful as the worship elders, their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, the Two Extremes Still Domain, could still prove immensely useful on many occasions.

Sure enough, when Ling Jing glanced toward Gui Mei and Yue Guan, faint excitement and gratitude appeared on their faces.
