The Holy Maiden Was Associating with a Good-for-Nothing? Qian Xunji Flew into a Rage!
The purple Soul Ring slowly descended, enveloping Yu Xiaogang.
The next moment, a powerful force surged into his body, and his previously steady Soul Power began to circulate more rapidly.
Yu Xiaogang frowned, and his shoulders trembled slightly.
Bibi Dong, who was standing to the side, subconsciously took a half step forward, but was stopped by Li Qingshan, who raised his hand and said, "Don't disturb him, he can hold on."
Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong stopped in her tracks, but her gaze remained fixed on the boy.
Yu Xiaogang steadied his breathing and, following the familiar cultivation route he usually used, slowly guided the power surging into his meridians away.
After the initial shock subsided, the situation was actually more stable than expected.
The changes accumulated from taking the pills and refining the Whale Rubber were finally taking effect. Although his meridians were sore and swollen, he maintained a smooth flow of Soul Power.
Luo Sanpao lay beside him, tiny arcs of electricity occasionally flashing between his golden scales, and the light on his forehead and wings gradually brightened.
I don't know how much time passed.
The purple Soul Ring was finally completely stabilized.
Two Soul Ring, one yellow and one purple, slowly rose around Yu Xiaogang, and at the same time, the remaining medicinal power in his body merged into his Soul Power.
His cultivation level, which had been stuck at level 20, rose again, and only gradually stabilized at level 23.
Yu Xiaogang opened his eyes, looked down at his hands, and said in disbelief, "Teacher, I think..."
Li Qingshan approached, examined him for a moment, and smiled, saying seriously, "Level 23. The Soul Ring absorption was good, and the meridians were not damaged."
Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong finally breathed a long sigh of relief, then smiled and said, "Congratulations, Xiao Gang."
Yu Xiaogang did not respond immediately. He looked at the two Soul Rings on his body, then at his teacher, and his eyes suddenly reddened.
The next moment, he turned over and knelt down in front of Li Qingshan, his forehead slamming heavily against the ground!
"Teacher!"
Before Li Qingshan could speak, he kowtowed again, his voice trembling.
"I have been your disciple for less than a year, and my Soul Power has already increased from level ten to level twenty-three. Sanpao has also truly transformed into Golden Sacred Dragon..."
"If it weren't for you finding medicine and Alchemy for me, and teaching me how to cultivate, I wouldn't be where I am today!"
As he spoke, he bent down to bow again.
Li Qingshan quickly reached out and supported his arms, helping him up from the ground. "Alright, I didn't take you on as a disciple so you could kowtow."
Yu Xiaogang, however, still gripped his sleeve tightly.
"Your kindness to your disciple is truly like giving him a second life."
Only he knows how many sighs of disappointment he has heard and how much ridicule he has endured over the years.
In less than a year, not only has his Soul Power increased dramatically, but he has even acquired a Thousand-Year Second Soul Ring.
Seeing his red eyes, Li Qingshan softened his tone and said:
"I found the medicine for you, and I chose the Soul Ring for you, but you are the one who cultivates every day, and you are the one who endures the pain when taking the medicine."
"Have you missed a single training session I arranged these past few days?"
Yu Xiaogang shook his head.
"That's it. I showed you the way, and you were willing to walk forward diligently, which is why you have achieved what you have today." Li Qingshan patted his shoulder.
"Cultivate diligently from now on; that will be the best way to repay your master."
Yu Xiaogang nodded vigorously.
"Disciple has remembered!"
Beside her, Bibi Dong watched this scene quietly, her gaze lingering between the master and disciple for a moment, her expression softening considerably.
After Yu Xiaogang finished recuperating, the three of them set off again.
Li Qingshan determined the direction and then led the two deeper into the Forest, saying, "Xiao Gang, you've absorbed your Soul Ring. Now I'll take you to your junior brother's Herb Garden."
"Now that we've selected the medicinal herbs for Ah Yin, it's time to start preparing the elixir once we get back."
Yu Xiaogang responded, put away the Sanpao, and followed his teacher through the woods.
Along the way, Bibi Dong would stop to take a closer look at any unusual-looking medicinal herbs she encountered. Li Qingshan would occasionally offer a few explanations, which she would listen to attentively.
After walking for a while, a patch of blooming pale purple flowers appeared ahead.
Bibi Dong stopped beside him, observing the fine lines on the petals, but Yu Xiaogang took the opportunity to move to Li Qingshan's side and lowered his voice:
"Teacher, I have one more thing to ask of you."
"What's up?"
Yu Xiaogang glanced back at Bibi Dong, his ears gradually turning red.
"She's already level 49, just a little short of level 50. When you're selecting herbs for your junior sister this time, could you also help her...?"
At this point, he suddenly found himself unable to continue.
The teacher has already gone to so much trouble for me, and now I have to ask for Immortal Herbs on behalf of others; I really feel a little embarrassed.
Looking at his expression, Li Qingshan immediately understood.
He suppressed a laugh and deliberately asked, "Also, do you want to see if there are any suitable Immortal Herbs for her?"
Yu Xiaogang nodded quickly.
"If it's inconvenient, then..."
"I understand," Li Qingshan interrupted him with a smile, adding, "However, medicinal herbs must be compatible with the person; one cannot simply put any rare Immortal Herbs into their mouth."
"Once we arrive, I will take a look at her."
Yu Xiaogang's eyes lit up, and he quickly thanked him.
Li Qingshan glanced at the blonde girl not far away, a slight smile playing on his lips. He hadn't even found a chance to speak, yet his disciple had already thought of something for him.
"What are you talking about?" Bibi Dong turned around and happened to see the smile on Yu Xiaogang's face.
Yu Xiaogang quickly shook his head and said:
"It's nothing, I just asked the teacher how much longer it will take to arrive."
Li Qingshan didn't expose him, and pointed to the pale green mist rising in the distance.
"We're almost there. Keep up, there's Poison Miasma ahead."
A barrier of Soul Power slowly unfolded, protecting the three of them within.
After passing through the poisonous fog, the rising water vapor in the Mountain Valley gradually came into view. Milky white and vermilion springs existed side by side, and the banks of the springs were covered with medicinal herbs of various shapes.
Bibi Dong paused, surprise appearing in her eyes.
"This is the... Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well that Xiao Gang mentioned?"
At the same time.
Spirit City, Pope's Palace.
A deacon strode into the hall, bowed, and presented the newly discovered information. "Your His Holiness the Pope, Yu Xiaogang's identity has been confirmed."
Qian Xunji put down the document in her hand.
"Explain."
"This person comes from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and is the son of Clan Chief Yu Yuanzhen. His childhood awakening record shows that his Innate Soul Power is only half a level, and his Martial Soul has also undergone Malignant Mutation."
The deacon paused, lowering his voice.
Within the family, he was always considered a good-for-nothing with no future.
Qian Xunji abruptly stopped flipping through the documents, and said coldly, "Half-level Innate Soul Power?"
The deacon nodded quickly.
"It has been verified, and that is indeed the case."
The hall was quiet for a moment.
The next moment, Qian Xunji slammed the documents heavily on the armrest, his face turning completely grim.
"My Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall spends her days with such a good-for-nothing?!"
"And he's from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan!"
He recalled the mention of fellow practitioners and cultivation in the previous secret report, and his anger intensified.
The disciple he had placed so much hope in actually volunteered to accompany him on the hunt for his Second Soul Ring, all for the sake of such a person?
"Pass down the order!"
The deacon immediately bowed.
Qian Xunji said coldly:
"Notify the Platinum Bishop in the Coconut Grove City area to immediately locate the Saintess, go there personally, and then bring her back to Spirit City!"
"If the saintess refuses..."
"Then tell her it's my order."
Qian Xunji's gaze was icy.
"No delays are allowed, and she must not be allowed to continue traveling with that Yu Xiaogang!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
The steward acknowledged the order and withdrew from the main hall.
Qian Xunji looked down at the name on the document, her fingers slowly tightening, and murmured to herself, "Dong'er, you're really giving your teacher more and more trouble."
