Chapter 102: Fragrant Luo Immortal Herb of Seclusion
The summoned flames were no longer the previous dark red.
Instead, they carried a pure golden glow, with higher temperature and stronger destructive power.
Controlling them was as easy as moving an arm, even more effortless!
"Is this... is this the power of an Immortal Herb?"
Yan felt the surging power within him, so excited he could barely contain himself.
He bowed deeply again towards Ghost Douluo: "Thank you, Elder Gui, for your protection!"
Ghost Douluo's calm response came from the shadows.
"This is your own Opportunity, and also the grace of Supreme Pontiff. Stabilize your Realm, Cultivate diligently, and do not be complacent."
"Yes!"
Yan responded emphatically, clenching his fists.
His eyes were filled with deeper loyalty to Spirit Hall and Bibi Dong, and infinite yearning for the future.
With this power, his position within the Golden Generation would be even more secure.
In the future, he would surely make greater contributions to Spirit Hall!
And Yan's successful absorption and significant improvement,
was also reported by Ghost Douluo and reached Bibi Dong's ears immediately.
She was quite satisfied with this result.
An Immortal Herb whose attribute countered hers, exchanged for a potential talent's great increase in strength.
This deal was very worthwhile.
"I wonder how much strength this Immortal Herb can boost me?"
Bibi Dong's mind was completely focused on the hell exquisite flower in her hand, which emitted an alluring, sinister glow.
She knew that Opportunities from the immortal herb ranking were elusive.
It was already rare for her to have such a profound "affinity" with this hell exquisite flower.
The Immortal Herbs on the subsequent ranking would likely have no connection with her.
"Yue Guan, Gui Mei."
She commanded in a cold voice.
"You two shall closely monitor the subsequent ranking. If there are Immortal Herbs suitable for other Spirit Hall members, or fated individuals worth recruiting, report them to me promptly."
"Yes, Supreme Pontiff!"
Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo responded in unison.
Yue Guan remained curious about flowers and plants, while Gui Mei, as always, vanished into the shadows to execute the order.
After making arrangements, Bibi Dong could no longer suppress the longing in her heart.
She dismissed her attendants and sat down cross-legged directly in the center of the vast and majestic main hall of the Supreme Pontiff Palace.
Following the method taught by the heavenly curtain, she circulated the majestic Rakshasa divine force within her body.
She began to guide and absorb this Immortal Herb, which perfectly matched her attributes.
"Buzz!"
Just as she activated the medicinal power of the Immortal Herb,
a pure, cold, and utterly evil force, as if originating from the deepest abyss of the Nine Hells, erupted with a roar!
Dense, dark purple evil Qi, centered on Bibi Dong, spread out like a tide, instantly enveloping the entire Supreme Pontiff Palace hall.
On the walls, on the floor.
Even a layer of eerie dark purple ice crystals subtly condensed.
The air was filled with an evil pressure that made Souls tremble.
"Hiss!"
Even Gui Mei, the Ghost Douluo who was hidden in the shadows acting as Protector, couldn't help but tremble at this moment.
The ghost Qi around him experienced a momentary disturbance.
His own Gui Mei Martial Soul was inherently inclined towards the sinister and evil.
But in front of this ultimate evil force originating from the hell exquisite flower, he felt like a small witch encountering a great one.
"Supreme Pontiff's aura... has become even more unfathomable!"
Gui Mei was horrified in his heart.
At the same time, a surge of excitement rose within him.
"It seems that once Supreme Pontiff fully absorbs this Immortal Herb, her strength will surely skyrocket!"
"Perhaps... it won't be long before our Spirit Hall gives birth to its first true Divinity—the Rakshasa God!"
Time slowly flowed amidst the surging evil Qi.
Who knows how long passed.
The pervasive dark purple evil Qi began to converge like a hundred rivers returning to the sea, slowly being absorbed into Bibi Dong's body.
When she opened her eyes again, her purple pupils had become even deeper and more demonic.
The malevolent aura around her grew more intense, yet it carried a restrained majesty.
Carefully sensing herself.
"Excellent!"
A look of satisfaction appeared on Bibi Dong's exquisite face.
Her Soul Power Rank had not increased; it still remained at the Bottleneck of Rank ninety-nine Peak.
However, the refinement of her Soul Power had more than doubled!
The quantity remained unchanged, but the quality had made a leap!
This meant that her current true combat power had increased by at least twenty percent compared to before absorbing the Immortal Herb!
And this was just the superficial benefit.
On a deeper level, the pure, ultimate evil power of the hell exquisite flower acted like the perfect adhesive and catalyst.
It more perfectly and tightly fused her self-Cultivated Soul Power with the divine force inherited from the Rakshasa God!
Any subtle barriers and repulsions that might have existed were now completely gone.
This meant that when she inherited the Rakshasa God Position in the future, the process would be smoother, and her Foundation would be more stable.
The divine force she could unleash would also be more powerful!
"heavenly curtain... this gift, I will remember it."
Bibi Dong murmured in a low voice, with a rare hint of gratitude in her tone.
This hell exquisite flower,
for her, its significance far exceeded a general Soul Power increase... Just as Bibi Dong was reining in her aura.
Within the Hall of Worship.
Qian Daoliu, who had been meditating and sensing the Angel God divine force, suddenly opened his eyes.
A never-before-seen solemnity and apprehension flashed in his golden pupils.
His gaze, like lightning, pierced through layers of halls and looked towards the Supreme Pontiff Palace.
"Such evil and pure power... Bibi Dong's aura has grown stronger again!"
He spoke in a deep voice, his tone incredibly complex.
Gold Crocodile Douluo, who was nearby, also felt the chilling aftershocks, and nodded with a solemn expression.
"Big Brother, I felt it too. That evil Qi is purer and more restrained than before."
"Although I was fortunate enough to Break through to Rank ninety-nine, I know... I am definitely not Bibi Dong's opponent now."
There was a hint of powerlessness in his words.
Recalling the tragedy many years ago that changed everything.
Gold Crocodile Douluo looked at Qian Daoliu worriedly: "Big Brother, if Bibi Dong's strength continues to increase unchecked like this, will it cause unpredictable effects on our Hall of Worship, especially on Xue'er's future Angel God Trial?"
"Her hatred for Spirit Hall, we both know."
A bitter and helpless expression appeared on Qian Daoliu's face, and he let out a long sigh: "It's too late to say these things now."
"To blame... we can only blame our momentary soft-heartedness and indecisiveness back then, failing to stop her in time, which led to today's situation, allowing her to grow to a point where even I find her troublesome."
He paused, golden light flickering in his eyes.
"The current Bibi Dong's strength is unfathomable, and she has inherited the Rakshasa God Position."
"Although I can use the Angel God divine force to suppress her to some extent, to defeat her... I no longer have absolute certainty."
"Perhaps, only when Xue'er successfully inherits the Angel God Position can she truly contend with her."
"What? Even High Priest you are not confident in defeating her!"
Qianjun Douluo, who was nearby, couldn't help but exclaim in shock.
Demon Subduing Douluo and the others also looked horrified.
They deeply understood Qian Daoliu's strength.
He was one of the three universally recognized Peak Douluo of the current era.
And even the High Priest of the Angel God!
If even he said such words, how terrifying had Bibi Dong's strength become?
The entire Hall of Worship fell into a heavy silence.
Bibi Dong's rapid increase in strength, like a giant boulder, weighed heavily on the hearts of every Elder... The heavenly curtain's golden light flowed ceaselessly.
Under the gaze of countless expectant eyes, new Immortal Herb information slowly condensed into form.
The Immortal Herb that appeared this time had a peculiar form and even more unique efficacy.
[immortal herb ranking, Seventh Place: fragrant luo immortal herb of seclusion]
[Immortal Herb Form]: A large, pale pink flower, leafless, with a stem three feet long. The flower itself is enormous, with a diameter of a full foot. The ice-crystal-like pistil at the center of the flower emits a rich fragrance. This fragrance is not cloying; instead, it gives a sense of elegance and serenity, refreshing to the heart.
[Efficacy]: Bane of a Hundred Poisons. The fragrance it emits possesses extremely strong neutralizing and purifying toxic abilities, capable of countering most poisons in the world. Holding this flower within the range of its fragrance allows one to avoid a hundred poisons. Its main body is also a sacred object for detoxifying potent poisons.
[Harvesting/Consumption]: This Immortal Herb excels in its fragrance and does not need to be swallowed. It can be transplanted and cultivated to continuously emit its fragrance, forming a poison-avoiding Domain. Its petals can also be refined into sacred detoxifying medicine.
[Fated Person]: Dugu Yan (Big Dipper Academy).
"fragrant luo immortal herb of seclusion! Bane of a Hundred Poisons!"
"There's even an Immortal Herb with this kind of efficacy? Doesn't that mean that with it, you essentially have an extra protective talisman against Poison Soul Masters?"
"Big Dipper Academy, Dugu Yan... isn't she Poison Douluo Dugu Bo's granddaughter?"
"Her Martial Soul is also the Jade Phosphor Serpent, and she's also a master of using poison. This Immortal Herb for her..."
The information release once again sparked discussion.
This Immortal Herb does not directly enhance combat power.
However, its special poison-avoiding efficacy, in certain situations, is even more valuable than many Immortal Herbs that can directly increase Soul Power.
