Congratulations, Your Majesty, on gaining another prodigy!
Yue Guan, who was standing to the side, spoke up. Lou Gao's Innate Soul Power was not low, and he was extremely talented in forging. By subduing this person, Meng Qianqiu's forces would grow stronger.
"You are incredibly fortunate to be able to serve the young master!"
"You should know that countless geniuses throughout the world want to follow in your footsteps and join the Spirit Hall."
"The young master himself is a golden brand; the number one theoretical Soul Master on the continent—that title is no small matter."
Yue Guan spoke up from the side, saying that Meng Qianqiu was not only the Pope of the Spirit Hall, but also the number one theoretical Soul Master on the continent.
"Power and fame are nothing but fleeting glory!"
"Only strength and wisdom are the foundation for survival."
"I don't understand forging, but I respect the technique."
"Since you've chosen to follow me, I can't be stingy. From now on, I'll cover all your cultivation resources, and even the materials you need for forging. How does that sound?"
Meng Qianqiu was inclined to win over Lou Gao.
This is a divine craftsman from the Douluo Continent. If used properly, Lou Gao one person could be equivalent to several Titled Douluo.
"This is Ten Thousand Year Purple Ganoderma, which can improve your cultivation aptitude. This item is best at strengthening the foundation and nourishing the vital energy; it is a ninth-grade great medicine king."
"This thing would be priceless in the outside world!"
"Don't refuse yet. Once you consume this King of Herbs, you'll likely break through to the Seven-Ring Soul Sage, joining the ranks of high-level Soul Master. At that time, your lifespan will also be extended."
"With sufficient lifespan, you'll be qualified to advance to higher realms; who knows, you might even become Titled Douluo someday!"
Meng Qianqiu had high hopes for Lou Gao. Even if it meant using a lot of resources, he was determined to train Lou Gao into Titled Douluo and then exploit him to the fullest extent to unleash his forging potential.
"This..."
To be honest, Lou Gao was a bit stunned by Meng Qianqiu's sudden generosity. This guy really dares to give!
"Your Majesty, I will certainly live up to your expectations!"
To be honest, Lou Gao was also somewhat moved. Although he had only sided with Meng Qianqiu under pressure, Meng Qianqiu's actions gave him a boost of confidence. This Pope seemed to be quite good after all.
Lou Gao took the jade box and slowly opened it.
"The Ninth-Rank Great Medicine King, the Ten Thousand Year Purple Ganoderma!"
As soon as the jade box was opened, a medicinal fragrance wafted out. Looking at the precious medicine in his hand, Lou Gao felt as if the jade box weighed a ton.
This is not merely a reward, but a sign of the Pope's trust!
Lou Gao immediately consumed the Ten Thousand Year Purple Ganoderma, and his Soul Power broke through again. At the same time, he underwent another marrow cleansing and bone tempering.
"My Soul Power has finally broken through!"
Limited by his Innate Soul Power, Lou Gao was stuck on his cultivation path for a long time and was unable to break through to the seventh-ring Soul Saint realm.
Over time, he shifted his focus to forging, which was actually a last resort for Lou Gao.
Lou Gao is first and foremost a Soul Master, and only secondly a blacksmith.
Lou Gao currently in his prime, and he has not yet devoted all his attention to forging. He still has passion in his heart, and he is not willing to let his cultivation level remain at the Soul Emperor realm.
" Seven-Ring Soul Sage!"
" Yue Guan!"
"You'll take Lou Gao to Soul Hunting beasts later. After everything is done, you'll personally escort him back to the Pope Hall in Spirit City!"
Meng Qianqiu looked at Yue Guan and gave him a task.
" Lou Gao!"
"You go Soul Hunting beasts first!"
"Once you've obtained your Seventh Soul Ring, come find me in Spirit City. I'd also like you to help me forge a Divine Artifact."
If Meng Qianqiu wants to create his Innate Divine Artifact, he needs Lou Gao's full assistance; otherwise, he can't handle it alone.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
The two immediately spoke, and then took the order and left.
" The Lou Gao has been subdued!"
"The next step is to expand across the entire continent."
Meng Qianqiu muttered to himself as he watched the two figures disappear into the distance.
On the other side, the Star Crown Sect.
"What?"
"The Holy Maiden has returned?"
"She really broke through to the Soul Saint?"
"Such a young Soul Saint is truly a blessing from Heaven for our Star Crown Sect! Issue the order that the Holy Maiden be properly cared for!"
The Grand Elder of the Star Crown Sect spoke up, saying that they had been discussing Xu Qianqian not long ago, and they hadn't expected her to return so soon.
"Grandpa!"
Xu Qianqian looked at the Grand Elder and immediately spoke.
"Your Majesty!"
The Holy Maiden's rank is equivalent to that of an Elder, second only to the Sect Master. She is also the Young Sect Master of the Star Crown Sect, holding a very extraordinary position within the sect.
Even the Grand Elder had to show him respect.
"What are your instructions upon returning to the mountain, Holy Maiden?"
The Grand Elder looked at Xu Qianqian and asked again.
"I have already broken through to the Soul Saint, but I'm still missing a Soul Ring. I want to hunt down that 50,000-year-old Heavenly Star Vine!"
"I remember it being recorded in the sect's documents!"
That's why I came back to take a look!
Xu Qianqian frankly stated that her return to the mountain this time was for Soul Hunting beasts, and this Heavenly Star Vine could be considered a minor top-grade specimen.
The Heavenly Star Vine is a mutated Soul Beast of the Azure Vine, capable of drawing upon the brilliance of countless stars, greatly enhancing the essence of the Star Crown Martial Soul.
"You want to hunt that 50,000-year-old Heavenly Star Vine?"
The Grand Elder looked at Xu Qianqian. The whereabouts of a top-grade Soul Beast are the greatest treasure of a sect, and outsiders cannot know about them.
The Douluo Continent is vast and boundless, with many Soul Beast living in its primeval forests. Only some major sects and powerful forces have sufficient channels to discover rare Soul Beast.
For these powerful forces, information is the greatest wealth; monopolizing information is tantamount to monopolizing resources.
Even the Meng Family is no exception!
The Meng Family monopolized Whale Rubber Potion and high-quality medicine kings on the market, which allowed the Meng Family to accumulate wealth rapidly and enabled Meng Qianqiu to cultivate one Titled Douluo after another!
"Good!"
Xu Qianqian nodded and immediately said.
"Let me look for it for you!"
"This Heavenly Star Vine is the foundation of our sect. Once you absorb it, you will have to shoulder the heavy responsibilities of the sect in the future!"
"Our Elder Council has already discussed this with the sect leader."
"Once you cultivate to the Soul Saint, return to the sect for seclusion. Once you break through to the Titled Douluo, you will inherit the position of sect leader."
The Grand Elder looked at Xu Qianqian and said these words.
"But..."
Xu Qianqian immediately became anxious after hearing this.
" Xu Qianqian!"
"You are the Holy Maiden of the Star Crown Sect, destined to carry on its Star Crown Sect. Don't forget the great mission you bear!"
"I know you are the Lord of the Spirit Hall!"
"But the Spirit Hall is ultimately an outsider; only your sect is your home. Don't betray your own people and forget your bloodline!"
The elder spoke sternly, Xu Qianqian. She was now in a state of great inner turmoil.
"It's over!"
"I've actually been placed under house arrest by the sect."
Xu Qianqian never expected that she would encounter such a thing. At this moment, she could only place her hopes on Meng Qianqiu and the others.
