Li Tianyuan wasted no more words. With a shift of his feet, he swiftly made a circuit of the surrounding area.

When he returned, he held an immortal herb.

It was a large, pale pink flower with no leaves around it, its enormous bloom measuring a full foot across.

Every petal was as translucent as crystal. Its pale purple stamens looked as though they were studded with purple diamonds, and it gave off a delicate, elegant fragrance.

Dugu Bo inhaled a breath of its fragrance. A moment later, he felt the poison within his body seemed to have been suppressed somewhat.

"This... may I ask, sir, what flower is this?!"

Dugu Bo asked in astonishment.

"This flower is called aromatic silk beauty. It can counter all poisons!"

"Take a good look at it. In the future, you can pick its petals to suppress the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor's poison within your body!"

Li Tianyuan said.

"Thank you for your guidance, sir!"

Dugu Bo cupped his hands and nodded humbly.

Just one breath of its fragrance had suppressed his poison, proving that this flower truly possessed remarkable detoxifying abilities.

Li Tianyuan looked young, yet his cultivation was unfathomable. And now, he had shown that he knew immortal herbs like the back of his hand.

This deepened Dugu Bo's admiration for him.

"All right, guard this place well. Remember, you must not let anyone run wild here!"

"And no one is allowed to take away any immortal herbs!"

"I'll head back to Suotuo City now!"

Li Tianyuan decided to leave.

Although there were many immortal herbs here, he had no use for most of them just yet. He might as well leave them here to grow and thrive.

He would come back for them when he needed them!

As for anyone else, they could forget about laying a finger on the immortal herbs here.

"Rest assured, sir. Even if it costs this old man his life, I will protect these immortal herbs!"

Dugu Bo pledged solemnly.

"I'm off!"

Li Tianyuan wasted no more words. Activating Wind God Leg, he covered over a dozen yards in an instant.

In the blink of an eye, he was far away!

"Farewell, sir!"

Dugu Bo rose and bowed in the direction Li Tianyuan had departed, only straightening once his figure had disappeared from sight.

Several days later, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect suddenly made an important announcement.

"Effective immediately, our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect will be renamed the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect!"

The moment this news broke, it caused quite a stir across the Douluo Continent.

Academies and sects, in particular, were shocked.

"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has renamed itself the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. Though only one character has changed, the meaning behind it is clear!"

"Could the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's martial soul have become the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda?"

"Good heavens, the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect! Does this mean a Nine Treasure Douluo will emerge in the future?"

"It looks like the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has encountered a tremendous opportunity!"

"..."

All manner of speculation spread across the Douluo Continent.

Before long, the news reached Spirit Hall.

"Your Holiness, word has just arrived that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has renamed itself the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect!"

On her throne, Bibi Dong wore a long purple dress and held a scepter, her lower abdomen slightly rounded. She looked somewhat languid, having suffered frequent bouts of acid reflux lately.

Below the throne, her disciple Hu Liena cupped her hands as she delivered her report.

"The Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect!"

At those words, Bibi Dong's gaze sharpened, a hint of surprise showing in her eyes.

"Yes!"

Hu Liena nodded.

"Did they say why they changed their name?"

Bibi Dong asked.

"No. They only announced that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would be renamed the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. Nothing else was disclosed!"

Hu Liena shook her head.

"Hmph. So someone's martial soul in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has become the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda?"

A purple glow flickered in Bibi Dong's eyes as she formed a conjecture.

"Hu Liena, head to the Heaven Dou Empire immediately and investigate the truth!"

"I want to know the exact reason."

Bibi Dong ordered.

"Yes, Your Holiness!"

Hu Liena accepted the order.

She turned and left the Pope's Hall, hurrying away.

"Interesting. To think that, among the Upper Three Sects, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would have the most unexpected developments. It seems Ning Fengzhi has enjoyed some good fortune!"

Bibi Dong's gaze turned keen.

The Upper Three Sects had always posed a considerable threat to Spirit Hall, interfering with her grand plan.

With changes occurring in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, she had no choice but to pay attention.

Yet her body was growing increasingly heavy, and the drowsiness and acid reflux of recent days had left her irritated!

Forget it. To get revenge on that bastard, I must give birth to this child!

Bibi Dong thought furiously.

Suotuo City, Heavenly Secrets Tower.

Zhao Wuji stood at the entrance, bored out of his mind.

Dai Mubai and Tang San watched the passing pedestrians listlessly, feeling rather dejected.

Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing were uncomfortable too.

They had been like this for days.

At this rate, they would go mad.

"Teacher Zhao, why don't we leave? I reckon Mr. Li won't be back anytime soon anyway!"

Tang San stepped forward and spoke to Zhao Wuji.

Zhao Wuji glanced at Tang San and said coldly, "What if Mr. Li suddenly returns? What would we do then?"

Hearing that, Tang San had no idea what they would do either.

He did not dare resort to force.

None of them did.

Ever since witnessing Mr. Li's Heavenly Demon Hand, none of them dared provoke Li Tianyuan again.

"But we can't just keep waiting like this."

Tang San felt that continuing like this would affect the speed of his cultivation.

He had to find a way to leave.

Zhao Wuji sneered. "I know that better than any of you!"

"But have you considered that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect changing its name to the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect might have something to do with Mr. Li?"

Zhao Wuji had his suspicions.

At present, every Soul Master faction in Suotuo City was discussing the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's name change.

This made him sense that Li Tianyuan might be involved.

After all, Li Tianyuan had left with Ning Fengzhi and the others.

"Well... Teacher Zhao, are you saying Mr. Li can upgrade the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda martial soul into the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda martial soul?"

Tang San stared at Zhao Wuji in astonishment. How had he failed to think of that?

He had always prided himself on his intelligence, but lately he seemed to have grown rather irritable.

"Teacher Zhao, just where does this Mr. Li come from?"

"How can his strength be so mysterious and unfathomable?"

Dai Mubai stepped forward and asked curiously.

He had long harbored suspicions about Li Tianyuan and had even been considering how to obtain his help.

"You ask me, but who am I supposed to ask?"

Zhao Wuji snorted. If he knew Li Tianyuan's background, he would not have ended up standing here as punishment.

"All of you, behave yourselves. Mr. Li may already be back!"

Zhao Wuji scanned their surroundings and barked coldly in a low voice.

Hearing this, Dai Mubai and Tang San could only stand to one side, their heads hanging in dejection.

As they spoke, a figure of peerless grace suddenly appeared outside Heavenly Secrets Tower.

Zhao Wuji looked over, and his expression immediately turned respectful. He hurriedly bowed and smiled. "Mr. Li, you're back!"

The returning man was none other than Li Tianyuan. He glanced at Zhao Wuji and gave a slight nod.
