Chapter 101 Bibi Dong's Fortuitous Encounter.
Under countless increasingly fervent gazes, golden light flowed across the sky, and a new ranking list quietly descended.
The attributes of the immortal herb that appeared this time caused many to gasp in astonishment.
[Immortal Herb Ranking, 8th Place: Hellish Exquisite Flower]
[Immortal Herb Form]: The plant is only about a foot long, its entire body displaying a deep, dark purple hue. Layers of petals overlap, resembling finely crafted dark crystal, while a cluster of ghostly blue flames dances at the stamen. The overall aura exudes an extreme blend of evil, coldness, and allure.
[Effects]: Contains the power of extreme yin and evil, significantly enhancing the soul power and spiritual power of soul masters with dark, evil, and death attributes. It can also purify and even strengthen the dark origin of their martial soul, with a certain probability of causing a malignant yet powerful mutation in the martial soul.
[Harvesting/Consuming]: The roots and stems must be wrapped with pure yin soul power for harvesting. The petals can be consumed directly, or the energy can be slowly absorbed by guiding the user's own evil power. Warning: Those who are not resolute or inherently evil are easily corrupted by its evil aura and turned into monsters who only know how to kill.
[Fated Person]: Bibi Dong (Spirit Hall).
"Hellish Exquisite Flower! What an evil immortal herb!"
"This...this is practically tailor-made for evil spirit masters!"
"The destined person is actually Pope Bibi Dong? Could it be that the Pope..."
The news caused an uproar across the continent!
Countless spirit masters looked towards the Spirit Hall, their eyes filled with fear and complexity.
Bibi Dong, as the Pope of the Spirit Hall, possessed the Death Spider Emperor and Soul Devouring Spider Emperor, both top-tier evil spirits. They were a perfect match for the Hellish Exquisite Flower!
But the nature of this immortal herb also made people speculate further about the true nature of Bibi Dong's power.
Beidou Academy.
Lu Xiao looked at the eerie image of the Hellish Exquisite Flower, raised an eyebrow, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"Hellish Exquisite Flower?"
"This isn't something that can grow in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well..."
He stroked his chin thoughtfully.
"It seems that there are indeed some unique treasures hidden in other unknown dangerous places and desolate places in Douluo Continent."
"The system's guide to immortal herbs seems to mention it; it appears to grow in extremely yin places or ancient battlefield ruins... Interesting."
Spirit Hall, Papal Palace.
When Bibi Dong heard her name associated with the "Hellish Exquisite Flower," she was initially taken aback.
Then, an undisguised joy erupted in her eerie purple eyes!
She could clearly feel the power representing the Rakshasa God's Trial within her consciousness, which strongly desired and resonated with the information conveyed by this immortal herb!
The extremely evil power contained within this Hellish Exquisite Flower had an unparalleled attraction for her cultivation of Rakshasa God Power and the purification of the two Spider Emperor Martial Souls!
It might even accelerate her God's Trial process!
"Destined to be with me... Good! Very good!"
A cold and satisfied smile curved Bibi Dong's lips.
Tian Mu's actions were like sending charcoal in snowy weather!
Just then, the shadows within the hall rippled.
The ghostly figure of Ghost Douluo quietly appeared.
In his hands, he held the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower, which exuded a blazing pure yang aura.
"Your Holiness, I have fulfilled my mission."
Ghost presented the immortal herb and briefly reported on the events outside Soto City, emphasizing Tang Hao's sudden appearance.
Bibi Dong accepted the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower.
Sensing the pure Yang energy within it, so different from the Hellish Exquisite Flower, a flicker of disgust crossed her eyes, but it was quickly replaced by reason.
She glanced at Ghost and praised, "Well done, Ghost. You deserve credit for bringing the immortal herb back from Tang Hao."
"I'll remember this for now and reward you later."
Her gaze returned to the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower, her mind racing.
This immortal herb's attributes were incompatible with hers, rendering it useless.
But it was, after all, a renowned immortal herb with extraordinary effects, and she had to make the most of it.
"Xie Yue and Hu Liena's martial souls are not fire-attribute, Yan..."
Information about the three members of the Golden Generation flashed through Bibi Dong's mind.
"Yan's martial soul is the Flame Lord, the purest fire attribute. This Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower is perfect for him."
She made a decision immediately and instructed Ghostly, "Give this Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower to Yan."
"Tell him that this is the Spirit Hall's cultivation of him. I hope he will cultivate diligently and not disappoint my expectations. He should absorb its medicinal power as soon as possible to improve his strength!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Ghostly bowed and accepted the immortal herb.
Her figure disappeared into the shadows again as she went to carry out the order.
After arranging the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower, Bibi Dong turned her burning gaze back to the sky.
At this moment, a dark purple light, condensed with pure and evil energy, descended from the sky and flew towards the Papal Palace.
That was the Hellish Exquisite Flower!
Bibi Dong reached out and steadily caught the immortal herb that was perfectly suited to her.
"Boom!" As soon as the herb was in her hand, a pure yet chilling evil power surged into her body through her arm, even activating the Rakshasa divine power within her.
"With this, my Rakshasa divine trial will surely advance further!"
She gripped the Hellish Exquisite Flower tightly, her eyes filled with a thirst for power and confidence.
Just as Bibi Dong obtained the Hellish Exquisite Flower, "Boom boom boom!"
Golden light flashed again in the sky.
New information about immortal herbs began to slowly condense.
Everyone's attention was once again drawn, anticipating the next rare treasure that could change their destiny.
Ghost Douluo's actions were extremely efficient.
Before long, Yan, one of the Golden Generation, was brought to a side hall of the Papal Palace.
The area had been cleared and a simple protective barrier had been set up to prevent energy leakage.
Yan looked at the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower in Ghost Douluo's hand, radiating intense light and pure Yang energy, her face filled with excitement and disbelief.
He had just seen the celestial canopy and knew the value of this immortal herb.
He never imagined such a precious opportunity would fall into his lap!
"Yan," Ghost Douluo's voice remained low and cold as he handed the immortal herb to him.
"This is an opportunity personally bestowed upon you by His Holiness the Pope—the ninth on the Immortal Herb Ranking, the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower."
"His Holiness hopes you will not disappoint him, absorb it quickly, enhance your strength, and establish merit for the Spirit Hall in the future!"
Yan accepted the immortal herb with slightly trembling hands.
He felt the surging fire attribute energy within resonate strongly with his own Flame Lord Martial Soul.
He immediately knelt on one knee, facing the direction of the Pope's main hall, his voice trembling with excitement.
"Yan, I thank His Holiness the Pope for this gift!"
"I will certainly not fail His Holiness's expectations, and am willing to go through fire and water for the Spirit Hall, even unto death!"
"Let's begin. I will protect you here."
After Ghost Douluo finished speaking, his figure retreated into the shadows of a corner.
His aura almost completely disappeared.
Yan no longer hesitated, following the instructions from the celestial canopy, he sat cross-legged and circulated his soul power.
He cautiously began absorbing the Phoenix Sunflower.
The instant he swallowed the first petal!
"Boom!"
It was as if a miniature sun exploded within him!
Incomparably pure and vast pure Yang energy surged like a bursting dam, instantly flooding his limbs, bones, meridians, and acupoints!
This energy was extremely powerful and Yang, yet not violent.
Instead, it possessed a cleansing and purifying quality.
Yan felt his meridians being widened and strengthened under the cleansing of this energy.
His soul power grew and condensed at an unprecedented speed.
More importantly, he clearly felt that the subtle impurities in his Flame Lord Martial Soul's origin were being burned and purified little by little by this pure Yang energy!
The Martial Soul's affinity and control over the fire element were increasing at a visible rate!
Faintly, a more solid and majestic Flame Lord phantom seemed to emerge behind him.
Time passed slowly.
When the last trace of medicinal power was absorbed, Yan suddenly opened his eyes.
Two golden flames seemed to dance in his eyes!
"Boom!"
He sprang to his feet, an aura far more powerful than before erupting forth!
He briefly sensed himself, his face instantly filled with ecstatic joy!
His soul power level!
It soared directly from level 54 to level 59!
Breaking through five levels in a row!
Not only that, he felt that his Flame Lord Martial Soul seemed to have undergone a transformation.
