Chapter 33: Distributing Immortal Herbs, Level 90 Gui Mei
The next morning.
Spirit City, The Pope's Palace, conference hall.
On both sides of the long table, seven figures sat quietly, the atmosphere solemn and grave.
At this moment, the heavy doors were slowly pushed open, and two figures stepped inside.
The person in the lead wore the Pope robe, wore the Pope crown, and held the Pope scepter. His expression was majestic and solemn; it was none other than the Pope, Qian Xunji.
Half a step behind him was the newly promoted Worship Elder, Demon-Subduing Douluo.
Seeing the Pope arrive, the seven rose in unison and bowed respectfully: "Greetings, His Holiness the Pope!"
"Everyone, take your seats." Qian Xunji nodded slightly and walked straight to the main seat to sit down.
His gaze was like lightning, sweeping slowly across the face of everyone present.
Everyone held their breath, their hearts slightly chilled; clearly, they did not know the purpose of today's meeting.
Qian Xunji spoke slowly: "I have called you all here today because there is a great opportunity. I know that everyone here is loyal to Spirit Hall. However, this matter is of great importance, and I need you to swear by your Martial Soul that you will absolutely not reveal what happens today to the outside world."
As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of the seven changed abruptly.
They looked at each other, their expressions both grave and unable to hide their anticipation.
To make His Holiness the Pope so solemn, and even require an oath by their Martial Soul—what kind of heaven-defying opportunity could this be?
Soon, seven oaths were sworn one after another.
Qian Xunji nodded slightly, glanced at Demon-Subduing Douluo, and signaled with his eyes.
Demon-Subduing Douluo stood up slowly and began to explain the matter of the Immortal Herbs.
A moment later, Demon-Subduing Douluo's voice stopped abruptly, and the hall fell into a deathly silence.
"Alright." Qian Xunji took out an exquisite spirit tool and took out eight jade boxes from it, lining them up.
He opened them one by one and introduced them one by one.
A moment later, Qian Xunji picked up a jade box and looked at Gui Mei: "Gui Mei, this Underworld Other Shore Flower is yours."
Gui Mei took the jade box, his voice hoarse but unable to suppress the deep ecstasy: "Thank you, His Holiness the Pope!"
Qian Xunji shook his head slightly and said majestically: "You are not thanking me. Remember, these Immortal Herbs were discovered by my disciple, Su Mo. When he returns from his training, I will make him the Saint Son. When he succeeds me as Pope in the future, you must do your best to assist him, understand?"
Everyone nodded in unison, without the slightest objection.
Although some of them did not know Su Mo, to be accepted as a disciple by His Holiness the Pope and designated as the successor to the Pope, he must be a genius.
Moreover, Su Mo had given them such a great opportunity.
"Alright, let's continue the distribution." Qian Xunji picked up the second jade box and handed it to a young man, "Elder Guangling, this Cold Jade Orchid is yours."
The young man was the future Worship Elder, Guangling Douluo. Although he looked like a youth, he was already quite old and was now a level 95 Titled Douluo.
"Thank you, His Holiness the Pope!" Guangling took it with both hands. It was ice-cold to the touch, and a sense of coldness spread throughout his body, making him feel refreshed.
After consuming this Immortal Herb, perhaps he would soon be able to join the ranks of the Worship Elders.
Qian Xunji continued the distribution.
"Ci Xue, the Snowy Swan Kiss is for you. You must be careful, refine it piece by piece, so that the toxins do not surge too much and cause a backlash you cannot control."
Ci Xue took the jade box and said excitedly: "Yes, His Holiness the Pope."
His Martial Soul grew by devouring toxins, and this Immortal Herb that could strengthen toxins was tailor-made for him.
"And this Fragrant Silk Tulip." Qian Xunji handed over another jade box, "It is temporarily entrusted to you so you can research some more powerful poisons."
Ci Xue took it again.
"She Long, Nine-Rank Purple Ganoderma."
"Ghost Leopard, Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid."
"Demon Bear, Burning Heaven Red Flame Ganoderma."
"Ling Yuan." Qian Xunji took out the last jade box, "This is the Narcissus Jade Skin Bone."
Ling Yuan took it with both hands, excited.
Qian Xunji's gaze lingered on her face for a moment.
His father had recently been urging him to start a family. Ling Yuan, who was right in front of him, had excellent talent and appearance. Now that she had obtained an Immortal Herb, her future achievements would be limitless. Perhaps she was a good candidate.
But he quickly withdrew his gaze, because now was not the time to think about these things.
In just a short while, the Immortal Herbs were distributed. Now only the Tulip of the Silk remained, for which a suitable candidate had not yet been found.
Qian Xunji leaned back in his chair, watching the excited crowd calmly.
Although some Immortal Herbs were not a perfect match for them, they could still help them improve their strength and potential.
The reason he chose these people was, firstly, because apart from Su Mo and Bibi Dong, the younger generation really had no outstanding talents.
Secondly, Su Mo had once told Demon-Subduing Douluo that the Immortal Herbs could regenerate, so there was no need to save them; improving the strength of Spirit Hall was the most important thing.
Therefore, he chose to let these older generations, who had the potential of Titled Douluo, reach the next level.
"Go back and refine them now, so as not to lose the medicinal efficacy." Qian Xunji waved his hand.
The seven bowed again and filed out, walking quickly towards their respective residences.
Their steps were much lighter than when they arrived, and their eyes carried a blazing light.
...
Three days later.
Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
Three figures descended from the sky and landed at the bottom of the valley.
It was Demon-Subduing Douluo, Gui Mei, and Ci Xue.
Gui Mei had broken through to level 90 and only needed one Soul Ring to officially enter the realm of Titled Douluo, but before he could hunt for a Soul Ring, he was sent here by Qian Xunji.
Gui Mei would take on the responsibility of secret liaison in the future. He was elusive, coming and going without a trace; no one was more suitable for this job than him.
Moreover, he and Yue Guan possessed a Martial Soul Fusion Skill; only when the two were together could they exert their maximum power.
As for Ci Xue, he had not yet fully refined the Snowy Swan Kiss and was still only a Soul Douluo.
"Old Ghost!"
At this moment, a surprised voice rang out suddenly.
Yue Guan, who was bending down in the flower field tending to the flowers and plants, straightened up abruptly and dropped the tools in his hand.
He looked like a long-separated lover, running over with a face full of ecstasy, and soon arrived in front of the three.
"Chrysanthemum Pass." Gui Mei said hoarsely.
"Old Ghost, why are you here?" Yue Guan looked Gui Mei up and down, then suddenly widened his eyes, "Hey, you... you broke through?!"
Gui Mei nodded slightly: "It was His Holiness the Pope who sent me here. I am responsible for connecting with you. I also obtained an Immortal Herb, which allowed me to break through."
"That's great, Old Ghost." Yue Guan said excitedly, "Right, don't rush to hunt for a Soul Ring. We will go together when the time comes, with Elder Golden Crocodile helping."
"Elder Golden Crocodile?" Gui Mei asked in surprise.
"Yes."
The two continued to exchange pleasantries...
Demon-Subduing Douluo and Ci Xue only glanced at the two of them and didn't say anything.
In all of Spirit Hall, who didn't know that the relationship between Yue Guan and Gui Mei was so good they could share a pair of pants?
"Ci Xue." Demon-Subduing Douluo ordered in a deep voice, "From now on, the defense here is handed over to you. Set up a poison array first, and strengthen it regularly."
"Yes, Elder Jiang Mo." Ci Xue bowed slightly, flashed, and swept towards the outer poisonous miasma zone.
