The True Ling Yuan

Chapter 41: The True Ling Yuan

Arriving at the third floor of the Library, Ci Xue and She Long bowed and departed first.

The third floor of the Martial Soul Library looked completely different from the first and second floors.

There were no bookshelves here, only neat rows of wooden houses.

At the midpoints between adjacent wooden houses, reading desks and chairs were neatly arranged.

Each wooden house was spaced at least two hundred meters apart, and their sizes varied slightly.

The middle house in the hall had a relatively large footprint, built with a mixture of solid wood and glass, allowing one to clearly see the general situation inside by passing outside the house.

The wooden houses against the walls on both sides were built with solid wood on three sides, airtight and sealed.

Meanwhile, Qian Zong's curiosity had reached its peak at this moment.

Ever since the speech just now, that unobservable mysterious force had been pouring into his body every single second.

Although very faint, it constantly nourished his physique.

Along with it, the healing speed of his injuries increased by quite a bit.

Originally, it would have taken another three months for his injuries to recover to the limit that his current body could reach.

Developing at this rate, at least half the time could be saved.

Looks like I can go soak in the mandarin duck pot ahead of schedule, Qian Zong thought to himself.

Qian Zong had never forgotten the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, but his meridians were completely shattered, so jumping in was just serving himself up on a silver platter.

To obtain the greatest fortune of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, his physical condition had to recover to the best state he could currently achieve.

Suppressing the restlessness in his heart, Qian Zong turned his head to look at Yue Guan behind him:

"Elder Ju, why are you here? Where is Ghost Elder, wasn't he with you?"

Qian Zong and Yue Guan were not particularly close, having only sought Yue Guan out during the past two months while studying botanical knowledge.

Afterward, Yue Guan had given Qian Zong a handbook on plants that he had compiled himself.

The handbook detailed plant species and functions, and even the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was recorded within it.

After reading it, Qian Zong was deeply shocked, and at the same time, he thought of another method to repair his meridians.

This method could not only recast his original meridians, but also push his physical fitness a step further.

Precisely because of this, Qian Zong had never worried about his physical condition during this period.

Although Qian Daoliu and the elders of the Worship Hall all said his meridians could not be repaired, how could their insight compare to Qian Zong's?

Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone, skill: Wildfire cannot burn it all away, the spring breeze blows it back to life.

As long as it was equipped, within a few months, Qian Zong's body would recover as good as new.

Yet what Qian Zong wanted was not merely a soul bone, but a perfect body washed and cleansed by the mighty power of heaven and earth.

Yue Guan bowed slightly and said:

"Hall Master, His Holiness the Pope sent me to invite you to the Papal Hall for a talk."

Yue Guan had also realized that compared to the title of Young Hall Master, Qian Zong seemed to prefer being called Hall Master.

Although he had not figured out what deep meaning Qian Zong had in doing this, just following along was the right move.

"Bibi Dong, what does she want with me?"

When appointed as Young Hall Master, Qian Zong had seen Bibi Dong once.

Bibi Dong's figure and appearance could be called flawless, and calling her a peerless beauty in the human world was no exaggeration.

Apart from Qian Renxue, no one could compare to her in appearance.

Yet the evil aura faintly emanating from within her body caused Qian Zong's body to instinctively feel disgust.

As for the reason, Qian Zong could also guess, because Angel Divine Power was sealed inside his body.

Otherwise, his body would not instinctively repel Bibi Dong.

After all, he had also dabbled in the deeds of an Evil Soul Master and come into contact with evil forces, so he was no good person.

Yue Guan shook his head: "This subordinate does not know."

Qian Zong pondered for a moment and asked:

"When are we going?"

Half a month later, Qian Zong was going to publicly execute the Star Luo Empire delegation.

Moreover, the population problem of Spirit City also needed to be addressed and resolved.

Even if Bibi Dong did not come looking for him, he would have started looking for Bibi Dong.

Now that Bibi Dong had taken the initiative to seek him out, Qian Zong had no reason to refuse her invitation.

"Right now," Yue Guan said. "Hall Master, His Holiness the Pope is waiting for you in the Papal Hall."

Qian Zong thought about it and chose to refuse:

"I don't have time right now. Tomorrow morning I will make a trip to the Papal Hall and have her wait for me there."

Bibi Dong was currently undergoing the Rakshasa God's divine trials, and her mind was constantly influenced by the Rakshasa God, making her cold and domineering in personality.

Qian Zong knew very well that dealing with Bibi Dong required only one rule: be even more domineering than her.

Otherwise, he would only end up as her food and discarded pawn.

What is more, Qian Zong still had more important matters to handle right now.

Having received his answer, Yue Guan said no extra words, offered a bow, and left the Martial Soul Library.

"Sigh, what a pity though. Such a great martial soul, if he had taken the defensive route or the life route back then, he should have broken through level 96 long ago."

Qian Zong looked at Yue Guan's back, softly shaking his head and sighing.

Breaking through to level 96 Super Douluo not only required powerful soul power as support, but more importantly, comprehending the Martial Soul Origin to master the power of domains.

Yue Guan's martial soul was extremely powerful, inherently possessing formidable vitality and defensive power. If he had accumulated vitality, his future prospects would have been limitless.

Qian Zong withdrew his gaze and did not dwell on it further.

The Immortal Herb, Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, was Yue Guan's only chance to defy the heavens and change his fate.

Yet no one knew how far he would ultimately be able to go.

Qian Zong brought Ling Yuan and circled half a circle on the third floor, arriving in front of the door of a wooden house against the wall.

The handle position of the wooden house displayed a small patch of green, indicating that this wooden house was unoccupied.

A red room number hung on the door: Restricted A311.

Click!

Qian Zong gripped the metal door handle, gently rotating it downward, and the wooden door opened in response.

"Sister Ling Yuan, I need to confirm some things. Sorry for the trouble, but please stand guard outside the door and do not let anyone disturb me."

There were some secrets Qian Zong did not yet plan to tell Ling Yuan, so he did not let her follow him inside.

Ling Yuan bowed and said: "Understood, Hall Master!"

"Sister Ling Yuan, didn't we agree on this?" Qian Zong stopped in his tracks, resting one hand on the doorframe, turned his head, and teased, "When there's no one around, call me Zong'er."

Qian Zong's first impression of Ling Yuan: reckless!

A mere level 92 dared to go head-to-head with the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape.

He could not comprehend how Ling Yuan could have such guts.

Yet after spending time together, Qian Zong found that this woman Ling Yuan did not seem as impatient as she appeared in animations.

During the time she stayed by his side, her guard work was executed exceptionally well.

When she should make a move, when she should protect, and when she should intimidate were all distinguished very clearly.

Furthermore, Qian Zong also discovered that Ling Yuan was quite fun.

Every time she called him Zong'er, her words always revealed a sense of bashfulness, and occasionally a trace of flush would spread across her face.

Being a person over fifty years old, she actually possessed such a maidenly side?

Talk about living long enough to see everything.

Seeing Qian Zong looking at her with a trace of mischief in his eyes, Ling Yuan felt a bit embarrassed.

Hesitating for a single moment, Ling Yuan still softly called out:

"O... Okay, Zong'er."

Standing beside Qian Zong just now, calling him Young Hall Master and Hall Master had rolled right off her tongue.

Now calling him Zong'er again, Ling Yuan always felt an inexplicable sense of thrill in her heart.

Qian Zong grinned, nodding with satisfaction, and subsequently entered the room.

"Sister Ling Yuan, I will leave the rest to you, then."

Having said that, Qian Zong closed the room door.

The instant the door shut, Ling Yuan's gaze swept over the door handle, seeing that the door handle displayed green, the corners of her lips curled up, revealing a meaningful smile.
