The Offerings' Martial Soul Evolution, Ice and Fire Body Tempering (Please Recommend and Favorite!)

Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

After Qian Xunji distributed the corresponding pills to the Three Great Enshrinements, Lingyuan, and Dugu Bo.

The Three Great Enshrinements, Lingyuan, and Dugu Bo each found a spot around the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, sat down cross-legged, and swallowed the pills in their hands.

For a moment, intense Soul Power fluctuations erupted.

Dazzling golden, red, and green light suddenly burst forth from the bodies of the Three Great Enshrinements, Lingyuan, and Dugu Bo.

Beneath the brilliant radiance.

The martial souls of the Three Great Enshrinements, Lingyuan, and Dugu Bo—the Golden Crocodile King, Azure Luan, Blazing Flame Lion, Blazing Flame Kite, and Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor—emerged behind them one after another.

They transformed into enormous illusory phantoms in the air, releasing beastly roars, bird cries, and serpent hisses.

As they were cleansed by the medicinal power of the pills they had consumed.

The cultivation of the Three Great Enshrinements, Lingyuan, and Dugu Bo continued to rise.

The martial souls behind them also continued to change.

The Golden Crocodile King martial soul behind Golden Crocodile Douluo gradually grew even larger. Great patches of hard scales across its body turned into dark gold dragon scales, while the ridges protruding from them became sharp bone spurs.

Its originally thick, stubby limbs became slender, its tail grew longer, its slightly flattened body arched high, and its neck became elongated.

Its originally vicious crocodile-like head gradually transformed into a majestic, domineering dragon head.

A pair of backward-curving dragon horns grew from its head, while a pair of broad dragon wings unfurled from its back.

The Azure Luan martial soul behind Azure Luan Douluo seemed to have been reborn in flames.

Its azure feathers turned crimson with streaks of gold, its tail became more splendid, and the Azure Luan head atop its long neck became that of a phoenix.

It was as though the Azure Luan had transformed into a fire phoenix.

The Blazing Flame Kite martial soul behind Lingyuan underwent the same transformation, becoming closer in appearance to a phoenix.

As for Mighty Lion Douluo and Dugu Bo, their Blazing Flame Lion and Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor martial souls.

The Blazing Flame Lion martial soul grew even larger, and its flame-like fur—especially the mane around its neck—became a deeper red tinged with gold, like blazing flames.

Perhaps because the pill had been refined from the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower.

A pair of crimson wings actually sprouted from the Blazing Flame Lion's back!

The Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor martial soul behind Dugu Bo became even larger and more elongated. A pair of dragon claws grew from its belly, while proud, jagged dragon horns emerged from its original snake head, transforming it into a dragon head.

It had evolved from a snake into a flood dragon!

"Your Holiness the Pope!"

After fully absorbing the pills' medicinal power and completing their martial soul transformations.

The Three Great Enshrinements, Lingyuan, and Dugu Bo all opened their eyes and rose to their feet in immense excitement.

"How did it go?"

Qian Xunji, who had taken out a throne from the Holy Spirit Ring and was seated to one side, idly playing with the Holy Sun Fire in his hand, smiled when he saw everyone open their eyes.

In response, the Three Great Enshrinements, Lingyuan, and Dugu Bo all appeared exceptionally excited.

Golden Crocodile Douluo, who possessed both the highest cultivation and seniority, was the first to speak.

"Reporting to Your Holiness the Pope!"

"Just as Your Holiness said, with the help of the Earth Golden Pill, not only did my martial soul evolve, but my cultivation finally broke through from Rank Ninety-Eight to Rank Ninety-Nine!"

Golden Crocodile Douluo said excitedly as he clasped his fists toward Qian Xunji.

As a Titled Douluo of Spirit Hall older even than Chihiro Doriu.

Golden Crocodile Douluo had broken through to Rank Ninety-Eight more than a decade ago and had long reached the peak of Rank Ninety-Eight.

Yet he had been unable to break through to Rank Ninety-Nine.

He had thought that he might never reach Rank Ninety-Nine for the rest of his life.

Who would have thought that, with Qian Xunji's help, he would break through so quickly!

Before this, although he had always spoken respectfully and addressed Qian Xunji as the Pope.

In Golden Crocodile Douluo's heart, he had always regarded Qian Xunji as a junior.

But now, with Qian Xunji's help, not only had his martial soul evolved, but his cultivation had also broken through to the Rank Ninety-Nine he had long dreamed of.

Golden Crocodile Douluo no longer dared to regard Qian Xunji as a junior.

Now, from the bottom of his heart, he finally regarded Qian Xunji as the true Pope!

After Golden Crocodile Douluo.

Azure Luan Douluo and Mighty Lion Douluo also eagerly reported their results.

With the help of the Phoenix Nirvana Pills they had consumed, the martial souls of Azure Luan Douluo and Mighty Lion Douluo had both evolved.

The former's martial soul had transformed from a phoenix-blooded Azure Luan into a fire phoenix, while his cultivation had advanced from Rank Ninety-Six to Rank Ninety-Seven.

The latter's martial soul had transformed from a Blazing Flame Lion into a larger Blazing Flame Lion with more powerful fire attributes and a pair of wings.

As for Lingyuan and Dugu Bo.

Their martial souls had respectively evolved from the Blazing Flame Kite into the Blazing Flame Flying Kite, which possessed phoenix-blooded traits, a nobler bloodline, and stronger fire attributes.

And from the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor into the Jade Phosphorus Poison Dragon.

Their cultivation had respectively broken through from Rank Eighty-Five Soul Douluo to Rank Eighty-Seven Soul Douluo.

And from Rank Eighty-Seven to Rank Eighty-Eight Soul Douluo.

As for their newly evolved martial souls.

Golden Crocodile Douluo named the Golden Crocodile King's evolved martial soul: Earth Dragon King!

Azure Luan Douluo named the Azure Luan martial soul's evolved form: Blazing Flame Phoenix!

Mighty Lion Douluo named the evolved Blazing Flame Lion martial soul: Blazing Flame Overlord Lion!

As for Lingyuan and Dugu Bo, they respectively named their evolved martial souls: Crimson Flame Phoenix Hawk and Jade Phosphorus Poison Dragon!

After distributing the pills.

And allowing the Three Great Enshrinements, Lingyuan, and Dugu Bo to evolve their martial souls and improve their cultivation.

Qian Xunji kept only Lingyuan behind and had the Three Great Enshrinements and Dugu Bo leave.

Next, he would guard the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well himself.

"Your Holiness the Pope, what are you staying here for?"

Lingyuan was extremely puzzled and confused by Qian Xunji's decision to remain behind.

"Now that you can refine pills using immortal herbs."

"Shouldn't you return to Spirit City as soon as possible and refine more pills?"

"So that some of the Titled Douluo elders in the Hall, as well as the bishops with suitable martial souls and the potential to break through to Titled Douluo, can evolve their martial souls and become Titled Douluo?"

"There's no rush!"

Qian Xunji smiled and shook his head. He slowly walked to the edge of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, clasped his hands behind his back, and gazed at the miraculous well before him as he teased.

"You all used pills to evolve your martial souls. Can't I take some pills as well?"

"That was not what I meant."

"If Your Holiness the Pope also wishes to take pills, then of course you can take them first before returning!"

Realizing that Qian Xunji seemed to be remaining at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well because he intended to consume pills as well, Lingyuan hurriedly shook her head and explained.

"Next, I will enter seclusion at this Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well."

"I will consume pills and dive into the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to cultivate. I may need to do this three times."

"Each period of secluded cultivation should take one to three days."

"You will wait here for me and prepare fresh clothes and food at any time!"

Standing before the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Qian Xunji took out two small jade bottles and opened them.

As he spoke to Lingyuan, he prepared to take the Crimson Flame Pill and Profound Ice Pill, refined primarily from the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Infernal Delicate Apricot.

Afterward, he would dive into the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to undergo Ice and Fire Body Tempering.

However, Qian Xunji's purpose this time was not merely Ice and Fire Body Tempering.
