Under the tacit understanding of Ning Fengzhi and the others,
Ye Qiu lagged far behind them.
Bai Chenxiang, with her hands behind her back, walked gracefully beside Ye Qiu, looking at the bloodstains on his chest.
Her expression was somewhat unnatural.
"Lord Palace Master,"
Ye Qiu paused, then shook his head and chuckled.
"Miss Bai, you should just call me by my name."
"Alright, you said it yourself."
Bai Chenxiang nodded slightly, then glanced at Bai He's back.
Ye Qiu smiled and nodded.
"Yes, if Hall Master Bai pursues this, I will explain it to him."
Ye Qiu finished speaking.
The atmosphere became somewhat silent again.
"Ye Qiu,"
Bai Chenxiang called tentatively, her face flushed.
"Yes, is there something you need, Miss Bai?"
Ye Qiu turned to look at her.
He wondered why she only called him without saying anything.
"I'm sorry, I got your clothes dirty."
Bai Chenxiang frowned slightly, pointing to the bloodstains on Ye Qiu's chest.
"It's alright, it's good that Miss Bai is alright. Besides, this is my fault. If I hadn't been so eager for quick success..."
"No, no, it was my own carelessness."
Bai Chenxiang waved her hands repeatedly.
She didn't think Ye Qiu had done anything wrong.
It was a competition,
so naturally she couldn't hold back, and Ye Qiu might not have even noticed her at the time.
Bai Chenxiang gritted her teeth.
She said shyly,
"How about I help you clean it up?"
"Huh?"
Ye Qiu's eyes showed surprise.
This progress seemed to be much faster than he had imagined.
"There's no need to trouble Miss Bai."
Ye Qiu replied with a smile.
It was just a little blood; he could have Erlong and the others wash it off when they got back.
"Hmph! Fine then."
Bai Chenxiang snorted coldly.
She had mustered a lot of courage to say those words, and this guy didn't appreciate it at all.
"..."
Ye Qiu then realized.
Shouldn't his goal be to seduce her?
How could he refuse? He
was immediately annoyed.
But there would be plenty of opportunities like this in the future, so there was no need to rush.
The group returned to the reception hall.
This time, Bai Chenxiang's attitude towards serving tea to Ye Qiu was undoubtedly much better.
Even the slightest touch of her fingertips to Ye Qiu's
brought color to her pretty face.
After chatting with Ning Fengzhi and the others for a while, Ye Qiu remembered something else.
"Hall Master Bai, I heard you have a Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng? I wonder if I could trade with you for it?"
Bai He was taken aback.
He didn't know where Ye Qiu had gotten this information.
Even Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo were somewhat confused; they weren't experts.
Only Dugu Bo's eyes lit up.
Bai He glanced at his granddaughter, his mind racing.
He nodded.
"My Min Clan does indeed have a superior Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng. If the Hall Master needs it, there's no need to talk about trading."
This Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng wasn't of much use to their Min Clan.
If things continued like this...

He was probably going to sell it.
"Haha, Hall Master Bai, don't speak so quickly. You can take a look at what I have in my hand before making a decision,"
Ye Qiu chuckled.
Under the curious gazes of the crowd,
a golden flower appeared in Ye Qiu's hand as his eyes flashed with divine power.
It was a huge chrysanthemum.
The chrysanthemum was a beautiful purple, and strangely, each petal looked fluffy and exceptionally cute.
The entire chrysanthemum was a single, unified flower, yet it emitted no fragrance. The central stamen rose more than half a foot above the petals, and the tip of the stamen shimmered with a faint golden light.
"This is... a chrysanthemum?"
Bai Chenxiang looked at the flower in Ye Qiu's hand strangely.
"It's the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum,"
Dugu Bo corrected.
Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo were stunned for a moment. They had naturally heard of the name Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum.
It was the martial soul of Chrysanthemum Douluo in the Spirit Hall.
"Hall Master, I wonder if there's anything special about this Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum?"
Bai He also recognized it.
"It's indeed very similar to the martial soul of that old chrysanthemum."
Ye Qiu smiled slightly.
Holding the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum in his hands, he explained in detail:
"Hall Master Bai, this immortal herb is called Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum. It belongs to the neutral immortal-grade medicinal herb. Consuming it allows one to circulate qi in the limbs, open the eight meridians, and cultivate an indestructible body."
"Furthermore, while greatly improving cultivation, it will also enhance the user's talent, making their potential even greater!"
Upon hearing the words "immortal-grade, "
Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo were both shocked.
They remembered that Ning Rongrong's martial soul had evolved successfully after consuming an immortal-grade medicinal herb.
This kid
is really willing to give up something for a woman, giving it away without even blinking an eye.
After hearing about the effects of Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum, everyone showed even more astonishment.
Even Sword Douluo was tempted.
An indestructible body was also very tempting to him.
Bai He was still somewhat confused and half-believing in the effects of this immortal herb, but seeing the expressions of Ning Fengzhi and the others, he began to believe it as well.
Bai Chenxiang was observing from the side when she suddenly noticed Ye Qiu's gaze shift to her.
She was immediately flustered, her face flushed, and she avoided his eyes.
"It seems that Hall Master Bai also hopes that the Min Clan can break free from the limitation of only being able to cultivate a single speed attribute, and the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum in my possession is precisely such an opportunity."
"If Miss Bai were to consume it, it might allow her Martial Soul to evolve, retaining her original speed advantage while gaining offensive capabilities!"
"What!?"
Bai He's body trembled, his eyes filled with horror.
"Hall Master, are you serious? Can it really evolve Xiangxiang's Martial Soul?"
Bai Chenxiang was also incredibly excited.
She dreamed of possessing offensive Soul Skills.
This wasn't just her dream; it was something most members of the Min Clan had fantasized about or even tried to achieve.
She, too, longed for it.
But the painful experiences of their ancestors told them that these were merely wishful thinking.
How many people, after obtaining offensive Soul Skills, saw their cultivation stagnate, forced to endure the pain of the Thousand Birds Devouring Rings, damaging their spirit and potential—a loss far outweighing the gain!
If it weren't for her grandfather's firm opposition, she probably would have followed in the footsteps of her ancestors.
But now,
Ye Qiu actually told her
that as long as she ate that chrysanthemum, her martial soul would evolve and gain offensive capabilities.
This was truly hard for her to believe.
But the person in front of her was Ye Qiu, Ye Qiu smiling at her.
Unconsciously, a little blind trust arose in her heart.
Ye Qiu laughed loudly.
"Haha, Hall Master Bai, of course I wouldn't use such a thing to amuse you."
Ning Fengzhi also explained with a smile:
"Hall Master Bai, what Ye Qiu said is true. After my little princess consumed a celestial herb, her martial soul directly evolved into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda."
Dugu Bo also nodded in agreement.
"That's right, my Yan Yan's martial soul also evolved because of a celestial herb."
