[Abandon Bibi Dong's development? Once abandoned, she cannot be bound again!]
"Yes!"
Qian Xunji had no lingering attachment. Once betrayed, he would never use her again!
[Unbinding successful. There is currently no development target. Host, please redouble your efforts and ascend to godhood soon!]
"Your Holiness, there are currently two living bearers of the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul.
Ye Cangshui is now a Soul Saint. His daughter, Ye Qingxian, is eighteen, with a fine figure and beautiful looks. She became a Soul Elder at fifteen and is among the best of the auxiliary-type Soul Masters."
Yue Guan answered directly. He was acquainted with Ye Cangshui and paid considerable attention to the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul.
"Are there any Immortal Herbs at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well now that would suit Ye Qingxian?"
Qian Xunji asked another question. When he was young, he had taken Chrysanthemum Douluo to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and used Immortal Herbs to further improve his talent.
The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well had now become a treasure ground belonging exclusively to Spirit Hall, with Chrysanthemum Douluo in charge of it.
"Yes. The Twelve-Grade Holy Light Lotus is best suited to healing-type Soul Masters and is exceptionally compatible with the Nine Heart Begonia.
If she takes it, it might break the shackles on the Nine Heart Begonia's inheritance."
"In that case, you two will accompany me to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well tomorrow. Then we will go find Ye Qingxian."
"Your Holiness, are you taking a disciple?"
"No, I am taking a wife!"
Qian Xunji's sudden decision left countless people beneath the sky screen dumbfounded.
But soon, some understood why Qian Xunji had made such a move.
The Holy Maiden had been stripped of her position, and Spirit Hall needed an heir.
And Bibi Dong's betrayal had made Qian Xunji lose faith in passing his legacy to a disciple.
He wanted to take a wife and have children.
He was in the prime of his life and had plenty of time to have children of his own.
Judging by what had happened with Bibi Dong, the bonds of blood were indeed somewhat more reliable than those between master and disciple.
Meanwhile, at the Ye Clan in Heaven Dou City.
Ye Lingling stared fixedly at her mother.
Ye Qingxian was already a Soul Saint. Seeing Qian Xunji on the sky screen suddenly come looking for her, her pure, flawless face showed a trace of panic.
Am I going to be broadcast live across the entire continent?
"Congratulations, Mom. You're going to become the pope's wife."
Ye Lingling blinked her cool, aloof eyes. In the eyes of outsiders, she was unapproachable, solitary, and reserved.
But at home, she was sly and lively, and who knew how many storybooks she had hidden in her room?
"Oh, shoo. What nonsense are you spouting? That's the Ye Qingxian on the sky screen, not me."
Ye Qingxian gazed at the sky screen with a hint of longing.
Just then, Ye Lingling quietly sidled up to her again. "Mom? What's the Twelve-Grade Holy Light Lotus?
Can it really solve the problem with our Martial Soul's inheritance?"
"It's an exceptional Immortal Herb recorded in ancient texts, with divine medicinal effects.
If such an Immortal Herb really exists, it could indeed cause the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul to evolve, breaking the shackles on its inheritance.
It could even improve the Nine Heart Begonia's healing effects further."
"Then doesn't that mean we can get the Immortal Herb as long as we find the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well?"
Ye Lingling indulged in wishful thinking, but Ye Qingxian shook her head. "Do you think we'd have a chance of getting the Immortal Herb if the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well's location appeared on the sky screen?"
"Mom, you're going to marry the pope~ Are you excited?"
Ye Qingxian: "..."
She seriously suspected her daughter had a split personality.
Outside the house, she was a withdrawn girl; inside, she was a problem child who even secretly read naughty storybooks.
Does she really think her mother doesn't know?
Shrek.
Tang San's eyes lit up when he heard about the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, and excitement showed on his face.
"An Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well actually exists in this world?
And there are immortal-grade herbs too?
Wonderful! As long as we can find..."
"Hey, hey, hey, Third Brother, what are you so excited about?
No matter how good the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well is, once the sky screen exposes it, there'll be nothing in it for us."
Ning Rongrong saw the situation clearly and poured a bucket of cold water straight over Tang San.
Tang San's sweet dream was shattered, and his expression turned resentful.
"Rongrong, that little mouth of yours..."
"I'm telling the truth."
Ning Rongrong blinked her beautiful eyes, and Tang San's mood worsened.
Because what Ning Rongrong said was indeed the truth.
But Yu Xiaogang refused to give up. "No, we have to find the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well before anyone else.
Then my Martial Soul can evolve too."
Ning Rongrong curled her lip inwardly. Dream on!
Once the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well's location was exposed, Spirit Hall and the Upper Three Sects would definitely rush there at once.
With just the people from Shrek, they wanted to snatch food from a tiger's mouth? In their dreams.
Spirit Hall.
Pope Bibi Dong gazed at the sky screen, understanding dawning in her heart.
"Did it come down to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well?
What kind of treasure ground is it, to be able to nurture herbs that can make Martial Souls evolve?
Qian Xunji on the sky screen must have become so powerful because he obtained the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
If I could get the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, could I let Xiaogang...
What Xiaogang? That bastard of a good-for-nothing!"
Bibi Dong's expression shifted between dark and light. Only after a long while did she calm down. "Chrysanthemum Douluo!"
"Your subordinate is here. Your subordinate deserves death ten thousand times over. Please be magnanimous, Your Holiness. Your subordinate has absolutely no intention of disrespecting you."
Chrysanthemum Douluo scrambled back into the hall and knelt below the steps, the clothes on his back already drenched in cold sweat.
"Hmph, what happens on the sky screen stays on the sky screen. I will not hold you responsible.
But is that Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well truly so miraculous?
You seem to know of this place."
Bibi Dong snorted coldly and did not pursue Yue Guan's offense on the sky screen.
The two henchmen were the strongest fighters she could command at present, and they were still useful to her.
"Thank you for pardoning me, Your Holiness. As for the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, your subordinate knows nothing of it.
But your subordinate knows that there are many Immortal Herbs in the world that do indeed possess the miraculous power to make Martial Souls evolve.
My Martial Soul, the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, is one of them."
"In that case, you and Gui Mei are to keep watch on the sky screen at all times. Once you determine the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well's location, you must take control of it immediately."
"Yes, Your Holiness."
Chrysanthemum Douluo breathed a sigh of relief and slowly withdrew from the Pope's Hall.
Spirit Hall was not the only one watching the sky screen, hoping to use it to pinpoint the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
But there were exceptions to everything.
At the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Dugu Bo stood suspended in the air, gazing at the icy and fiery springs in the valley and the highly unusual herbs.
"Could this be the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well?"
The more Dugu Bo thought about it, the more excited he became, his gaunt old face bunching into ugly wrinkles.
"But how should the herbs here be used?"
Dugu Bo worked with poisons, so he naturally knew better than to use medicinal substances recklessly.
There were indeed quite a few poisonous things near the springs, but he did not recognize most of the others, which looked more precious and of a higher grade.
"Damn it, what should I do?
By tomorrow, this place will definitely be exposed."
Dugu Bo looked at the sky screen, pacing anxiously back and forth in midair.
Just then, Dugu Yan emerged from a cave in a nearby cliff. "Grandpa, I've heard Lingling mention Immortal Herbs.
Maybe Aunt Ye's family has records of them."
"Really?"
Dugu Bo's face lit up. Without even waiting for Dugu Yan to answer, he shot off through the air.
Sunset Forest was not far from Heaven Dou City. Even with Dugu Bo's cultivation, it was already early the next morning by the time he returned.
Fortunately, time flowed at the same rate on the sky screen as it did in their world.
On the sky screen, Qian Xunji changed into casual clothes with the help of two stunningly beautiful concubines.
In the Pope's Hall, Gui Mei and Yue Guan had already been waiting respectfully for quite some time.
"Let's go, to Sunset Forest!"
Sunset Forest!!
