Qian Daoliu reprimands Qian Xunji, the Soul Ascension Pill and the Dragon Scales Fruit!

"Is this to save face for the Spirit Hall, or to save face for you?" Qian Daoliu looked at Qian Xunji, his face finally darkening.

"You're still thinking about this even now?"

Qian Xunji was taken aback, and was about to explain when he heard his father say coldly:

"Even if Li Qingshan isn't a level 99 Titled Douluo, you shouldn't so easily make a mortal enemy of a Titled Douluo for the sake of a Platinum Bishop!"

"As the Pope, can't you even distinguish between what's important and what's not?"

Qian Xunji's expression changed slightly, and he couldn't help but say, "But he killed someone from my Spirit Hall. If I don't pursue the matter..."

"Investigate? Before investigating, did you investigate his background and strength?" Qian Daoliu interrupted Qian Xunji, then took two steps forward.

"Yue Guan and Gui Mei's defeat, instead of figuring out the situation first, you personally led two elders to their door. What makes you so sure they can defeat the enemy by joining forces?"

Qian Xunji's lips moved, but she couldn't answer.

Qian Daoliu's voice grew increasingly stern as he said in a deep voice:

"You should know how much effort the Spirit Hall puts into training a Titled Douluo. If they hadn't held back this time, would you and the two elders still be alive?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the hall fell silent.

Qian Xunji lowered his gaze, the image of Li Qingshan sheathing his sword reappearing in his mind, and his heart sank.

Qian Daoliu looked at him, his tone still cold and hard.

"A Platinum Bishop caused trouble by abusing his status, and you rushed to stand up for him without even considering the consequences. Now that you've suffered a loss yourself, you expect the entire Spirit Hall to stand up for you?"

"Are you concerned about the reputation of the Spirit Hall, or your own face?"

Upon hearing this, Qian Xunji's face flushed, but he was still somewhat unwilling, and stammered, "Father, then didn't we die in vain?"

"He was just a Platinum Bishop. He's dead, so be it. It's not worth my Spirit Hall making an enemy of someone who might be Peerless Douluo." Qian Daoliu looked at him with a deep gaze.

Qian Xunji could no longer speak and finally lowered his head.

"My child has not considered this carefully."

Qian Daoliu did not press further and turned to walk out of the hall.

He stopped in front of the door as soon as he arrived.

"You can continue to investigate Li Qingshan's background, but you are not allowed to send anyone to cause him any more trouble without authorization."

"Don't do such stupid things again!"

The palace doors slowly closed.

Qian Xunji stood there, motionless for a long time. He understood Qian Daoliu's words, but how could a few words of reprimand make him let go of the humiliation he felt?

A moment later, an announcement came from outside the door.

"Your His Holiness the Pope, the Sect Master of the Clear Sky Sect requests an audience."

Upon hearing this, Qian Xunji suddenly looked up, his face full of surprise.

"Tang Zhen?"

"It was indeed Sect Master Tang. He said he had important matters he wished to discuss with Your Majesty in person."

Qian Xunji frowned.

The Clear Sky Sect and the Spirit Hall have never been particularly close, so why would Tang Zhen personally visit them at this time?

He suppressed his agitation and sat back down in his high seat.

"Please let him in."

Meanwhile, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

After briefly explaining the itinerary to Yu Yuanzhen, Li Qingshan prepared to head to Spirit City, and at the same time called Yu Xiaogang to his side.

"Xiao Gang, I have two more things to give you." With that, he took out a jade bottle and a jade box from his robes and placed them on the stone table.

As soon as the stopper was removed, a faint medicinal fragrance wafted out.

Yu Xiaogang looked down and saw a jade-green pill inside, with a faint glow flowing across its surface.

"This is Soul Ascension Pill." Li Qingshan handed him the jade bottle and explained, "It's mainly used to increase Soul Power, and its effects are relatively mild. Soul Master with a cultivation level above ten can take it."

Yu Xiaogang took the jade bottle and couldn't help but ask, "Teacher, how much Soul Power can it increase?"

"The Soul Power it can increase is roughly equivalent to the accumulation required for Soul Master to advance from Level 30 to level 31."

Li Qingshan looked at him, his tone becoming more serious.

"However, each person can only take one in their lifetime. Taking it repeatedly for convenience will actually affect one's future cultivation potential."

Yu Xiaogang nodded quickly, making sure to remember those words.

Li Qingshan then opened the jade box.

A crystal-clear blue fruit lay quietly inside, its skin adorned with faint golden patterns, much like Dragon Scales.

This thing is called the Thousand-Year Dragon Scale Fruit.

Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaogang's eyes flickered, and he asked, "Is it also used to enhance Soul Power?"

"No, that's not it. It's used to enhance your physique. You can take it directly and then circulate your Soul Power to guide its absorption," Li Qingshan continued.

"Your Martial Soul has evolved into Golden Sacred Dragon, and your physical fitness must keep up. Activating your Martial Soul and withstanding even stronger Soul Ring power will depend on your own physique."

"If you want to improve your Soul Power, you can't neglect your physical health either."

Yu Xiaogang looked at the jade bottle in his hand, then at the jade box, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

Even before leaving, the teacher was still thinking about his own spiritual practice.

In the past, he didn't even dare to hope to break through level 20, but now his teacher is already preparing him to absorb stronger Soul Ring in the future.

Li Qingshan did not explain the origin of the two items.

The Soul Ascension Pill was a reward given by the system when he accepted Flender as a disciple. The Thousand-Year Dragon Scale Fruit was obtained after Ning Fengzhi formally became a disciple.

Taking on apprentices can earn you some rewards, but these rewards are relatively limited.

The truly generous reward will only be available after he has genuinely changed his disciple's fate.

For others to become his disciples is just the beginning.

If you take people in and then leave them aside, letting them continue down their original path, you will naturally miss out on the system's subsequent rewards.

These two items are of little help to Li Qingshan now, so giving them to Yu Xiaogang would be just right.

"Put the things away first, but don't rush to take them all at once." Li Qingshan reached out and examined Yu Xiaogang's meridians, then explained the points that needed attention during the refining process.

"Remember to have your father supervise you while you take the medicine, and give your body time to adjust after it's been refined."

Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaogang nodded slightly and solemnly agreed.

"This disciple has remembered."

Standing to the side, Yu Yuanzhen immediately spoke up, "Your Majesty, rest assured, I will take good care of Xiao Gang."

Li Qingshan nodded, closed the jade box, and placed it in Yu Xiaogang's hand.

Yu Xiaogang pursed his lips and said in a low voice:

"Teacher, Bibi Dong...?"

Li Qingshan patted him on the shoulder and comforted him:

"Don't worry, you stay home and focus on your cultivation. As long as she's willing to leave with me, I'll naturally bring her back."

Yu Xiaogang hugged the jade box tightly and nodded vigorously.

At this moment, Chen Jianjun and Chen Xin walked over from the corridor, and Ning Fengzhi also came closer.

"Young friend Li, have you explained everything?" Chen Jianjun asked.

Li Qingshan smiled and said:

"Alright, we can leave anytime."

Ning Fengzhi stepped forward and said earnestly:

"Master, I will continue to discuss the follow-up matters after the alliance between the two sects is completed with Sect Master Yu. If you need anything, please send a message back."

Li Qingshan nodded slightly.

"Focus on implementing the matters that have been agreed upon for now; don't worry about me."

Chen Jianjun looked at his son, gave him a few simple instructions, and then walked to the front of the courtyard with Li Qingshan.

A mountain breeze blew in his face, causing Li Qingshan's robes to flutter as he slowly rose into the air. Chen Jianjun's Sword Light flashed beneath his feet, and he too soared into the air.

Yu Xiaogang and Ning Fengzhi bowed simultaneously and said:

"Your disciple respectfully sees you off, Master!"

Li Qingshan glanced back, nodded slightly to the two, and then walked away side by side with Chen Jianjun.
