Yue Guan stared at Lin Mo, her breathing quickening.
He took a deep breath, trying to make his voice sound steady, but he still couldn't hide the urgency in his tone. " Lin Mo, since you have taken Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, we are destined to meet."
"Let me ask you, are you willing to become my disciple?" With that, Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan stepped forward, her gaze fixed intently on Lin Mo.
"With your talent, coupled with the foundation tempered by the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, your future achievements will definitely not be inferior to mine. In fact—you might even catch up with those important figures in the Worship Hall!"
"Come on, Chrysanthemum Guan!"
Before Yue Guan could finish speaking, Dugu Bo chuckled. He leaned back in his chair, crossed his legs, and looked like he was enjoying the show.
"With Lin Mo's talent, Transcendence you is only a matter of time. Why does he have to become your apprentice?"
Dugu Bilu glanced sideways at Yue Guan, her tone full of mockery. "You old chrysanthemum, stop patting yourself on the back."
Yue Guan's lips twitched violently.
He was so emotional that he forgot about this for a moment.
Lin Mo's displayed talent was already astonishing; a twelve-year-old Soul King with Fourth Soul Ring had lasted for ten thousand years.
Looking back on his own words just now, they seemed somewhat self-aggrandizing.
Yue Guan coughed lightly to cover his embarrassment. He held up the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum in his hand and looked at Lin Mo: "Since you have taken this before, do you recognize it?"
Lin Mo nodded, his expression calm. "I recognize it. This immortal plant is called the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum. It was given to me by Senior Poison Douluo."
The relevant knowledge about the medicinal properties was also given to me by my seniors.
Upon hearing Lin Mo's words, Dugu Bo, who was standing to the side, immediately revealed a smug look on his face.
He certainly recognized this exquisite plant.
When he first discovered that medicinal garden, he couldn't name most of the exotic flowers and plants, but he was particularly impressed by this Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum because of Yue Guan.
Yue Guan looked at Dugu Bo with some surprise.
" Old Poison, you're quite generous." His tone was complex, containing both surprise and a hint of barely Frisk envy.
Such a divine item, you just give it away like that?
If this thing were in his hands, it would surely allow his cultivation, which had stagnated for so long, to advance further. However, Lin Mo has already consumed it, so for now he can only dream about it!
Dugu Bo snorted and replied without thinking, " Lin Mo is my brother. It's just a mere Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum. I gave it away, so what's there to be reluctant about?"
He spoke so casually, as if that precious plant were nothing more than an ordinary object that could be given away casually.
Yue Guan remained silent for a moment, then stopped talking about it; if he continued, he would be the one who couldn't take the shock.
He turned around, his gaze returning to the Charizard.
This time, he examined it much more carefully than before, his gaze moving downwards and slowly settling on the five Soul Ring at the feet of the Charizard.
Yellow, yellow, purple, black, black.
Five Soul Ring, two costing a hundred years, one costing a thousand years, and two costing ten thousand years—seeing them with one's own eyes is ultimately different from hearing them from others.
A hint of surprise flashed across Yue Guan's eyes, but it quickly turned into relief.
After a moment's thought, he realized he had found the reason why Lin Mo's cultivation had improved so rapidly.
The Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum has amazing medicinal effects.
If Lin Mo Mozhen had taken it in the early stages, and with the help of other resources, it wouldn't be impossible for him to have pushed his cultivation to its current level.
Otherwise, relying solely on his own arduous cultivation, even if this kid started from the womb, it would be absolutely impossible for him to reach the Soul King realm at the age of twelve.
Yue Guan was thinking this, she didn't notice that the Charizard beside her was scratching its head with its claws, a look of human-like confusion on its face.
This was the first time it had been so completely ignored; Yue Guan's attention was focused on Lin Mo from beginning to end.
Charizard grunted softly, still somewhat unaccustomed to it.
Yue Guan withdrew her gaze, turned to Lin Mo, and her expression became solemn.
" Lin Mo, I have come today on behalf of the Spirit Hall to formally extend an invitation to you. Would you be willing to join the Spirit Hall?"
"With your talent, as long as you join the Spirit Hall, you can immediately become His Holiness the Pope's personal disciple, and your status will be even higher than that of the Golden Generation."
Yue Guan looked at Lin Mo and said, word by word, "With the talent you've shown, given time, it's not impossible for you to become the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall in the future!"
These words carry immense weight.
The Holy Son of the Spirit Hall is the future successor to the Pope, holding a prestigious position and wielding immense power.
There was a moment of silence in the living room.
Dugu Bo frowned slightly but remained silent. The choice was now up to Lin Mo, and he would not interfere.
Lin Mo remained silent for a moment, then slowly shook his head. "Thank you for your kindness, Senior Chrysanthemum Douluo."
"But I am still a student of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy and have already received the title of Earl of the Heaven Dou Empire."
Before graduating from the academy, I have no plans to join any other faction.
Lin Mo refused quite decisively.
Yue Guan's face didn't show much surprise, as if he had expected this all along.
He sighed softly, his tone softening slightly. "It's alright. This matter is of great importance, and it's understandable that you want to consider it for a while longer."
Yue Guan changed the subject. "However, His Holiness the Pope gave me a strict order: I must bring you back to Spirit City no matter what."
He looked at Lin Mo and added, "It's just a simple meeting; we won't force you to make a decision right now!"
Lin Mo looked up and Yue Guan's gaze. After a moment of silence, he suddenly pointed to the Charizard beside him.
"Is it because of my Martial Soul?"
Yue Guan paused slightly, then nodded. "Indeed. His Holiness the Pope is very interested in your Martial Soul."
" Lin Mo, you don't need to be wary of the Spirit Hall because of those unfounded rumors from the outside world."
Those are all slanders leveled against the Spirit Hall by people with ulterior motives.
"For all Soul Master in the world who aspire to reach higher realms, the Spirit Hall is the best place to go, without exception."
As he said this, his tone was full of confidence!
" His Holiness the Pope's summons will only benefit you, and will not bring you any harm. I can vouch for this for you in the name of an elder of the Spirit Hall."
Silence fell over the living room once again.
Dugu Bo looked at Lin Mo with a questioning gaze. Lin Mo met his eyes and nodded slightly.
After a long while, Lin Mo let out a long sigh.
He looked at Yue Guan and said calmly, "In that case, I will accompany you to Spirit City."
A flicker of joy crossed Yue Guan's eyes, but he quickly concealed it and nodded, "Alright. Let's not delay, we'll set off tomorrow."
Dugu Bo suddenly spoke up, "I'll go too."
Yue Guan frowned and looked at him, " Old Poison, His Holiness the Pope only said he wanted to see Lin Mo."
"So what?" Dugu Bo scoffed. " Lin Mo is my brother. Wherever he goes, I'll go. Is there a problem?"
What, are you saying that outsiders are no longer allowed to enter your Spirit City?
Yue Guan's lips twitched, and he finally said helplessly, "Whatever."
