Chapter 57: Qiluo Tulip
"Yes... yes, His Holiness the Pope." Ye Qingshuang lowered her head, not daring to look directly at Qian Xunji, who was only a few steps away.
Although her mother was the head of the Ye Family, the Ye Family was ultimately just a small Family power; her presence naturally couldn't compare to the Pope who controlled Spirit Hall.
At this moment, Qian Xunji stood right in front of her, and the invisible aura of a high-ranking ruler washed over her, naturally making her feel a bit nervous.
At this point, Su Mo spoke up, "Teacher, this Disciple has already promised the Ye Family that I would give them that Qiluo Tulip."
Hearing this, a flash of understanding crossed Qian Xunji's eyes.
As the Pope of Spirit Hall, he naturally understood the situation regarding the Nine-Heart Begonia Martial Soul.
Since the Qiluo Tulip could compensate for Martial Soul defects, it was possible it could break the curse of the Nine-Heart Begonia Martial Soul; no wonder Su Mo was able to win over the Ye Family.
After all, for the Ye Family, nothing was more important than breaking the Martial Soul curse.
Let alone submitting to Spirit Hall, even if more demanding conditions were proposed, they would likely agree without hesitation.
"The Immortal Herbs were discovered by you in the first place. Teacher has two left here; I'll hand them all over to you now."
Qian Xunji took out the storage spirit tool containing the Immortal Herbs and handed it to Su Mo.
"Alright, Teacher." Su Mo didn't refuse and accepted the spirit tool with both hands.
Qian Xunji said, "Xiao Mo, I already know about the matter at the Heaven Dou Great Spirit Arena. You did very well."
Spirit Hall's intelligence network spanned the entire continent; with such a major event occurring, Qian Xunji had received the news yesterday evening.
Su Mo smiled, "It's all thanks to Teacher's excellent guidance."
Qian Xunji waved his hand, his expression clearly much more cheerful.
"However, you severely injured Tang Hao. The Clear Sky Sect likely won't let the matter rest, as they are notoriously protective of their own."
"This Disciple understands. However, the bet was made publicly during a match at the Heaven Dou Great Spirit Arena. If the Clear Sky Sect comes looking for trouble because of this, they will only be embarrassing themselves."
Qian Xunji laughed heartily, "That's true. But don't worry, now that you're back in Spirit City, with the High Priest here, even if Tang Chen comes, he won't be able to do anything to you."
"By the way, Teacher, this is the Clear Sky Sect's Ring Explosion. I made a copy on the way back. I'll give this to you so those who meet the requirements can try to Cultivate it."
Su Mo took the Secret Manual from his spirit tool and handed it to Qian Xunji.
Qian Xunji took it, casually flipped through a couple of pages, and put it into his spirit tool.
"I understand. You all must be tired from your journey. Go back and rest for now."
"Yes, Teacher."
Su Mo and Bibi Dong, along with Ye Qingshuang, turned and left the The Pope's Palace.
...
Before long, the three of them arrived inside Su Mo's palace.
Everything here was still the same as before.
The furniture was arranged neatly, and the penjing were meticulously trimmed.
Clearly, even though he hadn't been back for over a year, someone still looked after the place regularly.
"Finally back." Bibi Dong looked around and stretched comfortably.
Then, she ran to the sofa and plopped down, instantly relaxing as she grabbed a throw pillow to hug.
After riding in a carriage for so long, she was indeed a bit tired.
Su Mo smiled, then turned to look at Ye Qingshuang, who was still a bit stiff behind him.
"There are plenty of rooms here. Except for the one on the top floor, feel free to pick any room to stay in for now. Just treat this place like your own home. If you need anything, just tell the servants; there's no need to be polite."
Ye Qingshuang bowed slightly, "Alright, Your Highness."
After leaving the The Pope's Palace, she had clearly relaxed a lot.
Although Su Mo held a noble status in Spirit Hall, after spending these few days together, she found that he didn't put on airs and was very easygoing in his speech and actions.
Furthermore, Su Mo was of the same generation as her, with not much difference in age, so interacting with him was naturally much more relaxed than facing Qian Xunji.
Bibi Dong patted the sofa beside her, "Don't just stand there, come and sit for a while."
Ye Qingshuang glanced at Su Mo, and seeing him nod, she walked over and sat down next to Bibi Dong.
At this time, Su Mo took out a jade box from his spirit tool and presented it to Ye Qingshuang.
"Open it and take a look."
Ye Qingshuang took it with both hands, her heart involuntarily growing nervous.
She lowered her head and opened the lid, seeing an Immortal Herb lying quietly inside.
Its appearance was elegant and magnificent, with fine stems and leaves, and at the top was a golden tulip emitting a rich fragrance.
"This is...?" Ye Qingshuang looked up and asked curiously.
"This is an Immortal Grade medicinal herb called the Qiluo Tulip," Su Mo said.
"Immortal Grade medicinal herb?" Ye Qingshuang's brow furrowed slightly; it was the first time she had heard of it.
Bibi Dong explained, "It's an incredibly powerful Heaven And Earth Treasure, hundreds or thousands of times more precious than those rare medicinal herbs."
Su Mo nodded, "Immortal Grade medicinal herbs are treasures of heaven and earth. I won't explain too much to you now. If you're interested, I can give you an illustrated guide later for you to study at your own pace.
For now, you just need to know that by consuming it, even if it doesn't break the Martial Soul curse, it can still improve your Soul Power and Cultivation talent without any side effects."
"What!" Ye Qingshuang's red lips parted slightly, her face full of disbelief.
"That's right. Junior Brother and I have also consumed Immortal Herbs, which is the main reason we Cultivate so quickly."
Ye Qingshuang was suddenly enlightened. No wonder Su Mo and Bibi Dong looked younger than her, yet their strength was far superior to hers.
It turned out that besides their innate talent, they also had the assistance of such treasures of heaven and earth.
Su Mo said, "No time to lose, refine it now while I act as your Protector. Remember, this flower cannot be swallowed. You must gently suck the stamen to slowly ingest the essence into your body, then perform Soul Power Cultivation to let the medicinal effects spread throughout your entire body."
Ye Qingshuang stood up and gave Su Mo a bow, "Thank you, Your Highness."
Soon, Ye Qingshuang sat cross-legged on the sofa, placing the jade box in front of her knees.
She took a deep breath to calm her emotions, then following Su Mo's instructions, picked up the Immortal Herb and gently sucked the essence from the stamen.
Quickly, her Martial Soul, the Nine-Heart Begonia, emerged and floated before her, enveloped in a layer of soft golden light.
That golden light was emitted from her own body, carrying a rich tulip fragrance. As the light flowed, her temperament gained an ethereal quality compared to usual.
After a moment, Su Mo said, "Senior Sister, you've been traveling for days. Why don't you go up and get some good rest first? It will probably take her a long time to finish refining the Immortal Herb. I'll stay here and watch over her."
Bibi Dong pondered for a moment and nodded, "Alright, I'll head up then."
Having said that, she got up and went upstairs.
Su Mo continued to gaze at Ye Qingshuang's Martial Soul, wanting to see if there were any changes.
He was actually quite curious about what effect the Qiluo Tulip would have on the Nine-Heart Begonia Martial Soul.
Would the Martial Soul undergo an evolution, just like Ning Rongrong's?
