Chapter 32: Demon-Subduing Douluo Returns to Spirit City, Six Great High Priests
The next day.
Spirit City, The Pope's Palace.
"Elder Jiang Mo, why have you returned so quickly? Were there any significant discoveries in that place?" Qian Xunji asked from the Pope's throne with curiosity.
"His Holiness the Pope, please look." Demon-Subduing Douluo released his Martial Soul, nine Soul Rings circling beneath his feet, and a wave of Soul Power swept through the grand hall.
"Level 96!" Qianjun Douluo exclaimed.
He and Demon-Subduing Douluo had originally been similar in strength; he hadn't expected Demon-Subduing to break through before him.
"Elder Jiang Mo, you have broken through?!" Qian Xunji sat up in shock from his throne.
Demon-Subduing Douluo withdrew his Martial Soul and said, "Actually, my breakthrough this time is related to that place. It is a peerless blessed land that nurtures many rare and exotic herbs.
Among them is something called an Immortal Herb, which can directly increase Soul Power and improve cultivation talent without any side effects.
I only managed to break my bottleneck and reach level 96 after consuming an ink jade divine bamboo bestowed upon me by His Highness Su Mo."
"Immortal Herb?" Qian Xunji frowned slightly.
Demon-Subduing Douluo took out Yue Guan's spirit tool and retrieved over a dozen exquisite jade boxes, arranging them neatly.
He presented one of them to Qian Xunji.
"His Holiness the Pope, this Immortal Herb is called the Bright Holy Heart Grass. It has a light attribute, and it was specifically prepared for you by His Highness Su Mo."
"For me?" Qian Xunji felt a surge of joy, thinking to himself that this disciple was truly worth the affection.
He decisively opened the jade box, and instantly, a rich aura of light rushed towards him.
It was an Immortal Herb that was translucent white like jade, with a slender stalk that emitted a warm golden glow, and a golden stamen the size of a pigeon egg at the top.
Qian Xunji felt his Six-winged Angel Martial Soul craving this Immortal Herb intensely.
However, he forcibly suppressed the urge and closed the jade box again.
He had self-awareness; his talent was the worst in the Qian family's history, and even if he consumed this Immortal Herb, he wouldn't achieve much.
Rather than wasting it on himself, it was better to leave it for the next generation; perhaps they would have a chance to obtain the Angel God's nine trials after consuming it.
"Introduce these Immortal Herbs one by one first." Qian Xunji suppressed his distracting thoughts.
Demon-Subduing Douluo then explained them one by one.
In addition to the few mentioned in the original records, there were four unrecorded Immortal Herbs, which, although not top-tier, were extremely precious.
One was called the Yellow Springs Other Shore Flower, its blood-red petals long and thin like feathers, spreading outwards, with each petal tipped with a touch of white, and a dark green stem at the bottom supporting a blood-red flower crown, the whole thing surrounded by a rich aura of darkness and death.
One was called the Wind Shadow Phantom Martial Soul Grass, a wind-attribute Immortal Herb; the plant was slender and light, with light green transparent leaves, and the entire herb swayed without wind.
One was called the Cold Jade Orchid, born on the edge of a cold spring, an ice-attribute Immortal Herb. It resembled an orchid, with petals as white as jade, revealing a faint icy blue luster, and emitting a biting cold mist.
There was also one called the Burning Heaven Red Flame Ganoderma, born on the edge of a hot spring, a fire-attribute Immortal Herb. It resembled a flaming lingzhi.
After Demon-Subduing finished his introduction, both Qian Xunji and Qianjun Douluo were filled with shock; any one of these Immortal Herbs would be enough to cause a bloody storm in the World of Martial Souls.
"Oh right, Brother, this is for you from His Highness Su Mo." Demon-Subduing finally took out the ink jade divine bamboo and explained its effects and how to consume it.
Qianjun Douluo's face revealed a look of longing, but he still subconsciously looked at Qian Xunji.
Although Su Mo said it was for him, he was currently in front of the Pope.
"Take it. Xiao Mo discovered that place, so naturally, he should be the one to decide on these Immortal Herbs." Qian Xunji said.
"Thank you, His Holiness the Pope."
"No need to thank me. You just need to remember that this was given to you by Xiao Mo."
"Naturally." Qianjun Douluo nodded, his eyes full of gratitude.
"Refine it here. I also want to witness the miraculous effects of the Immortal Herb with my own eyes."
Qianjun Douluo nodded, then sat cross-legged at the edge of the grand hall and began to refine the ink jade divine bamboo according to the method described by Demon-Subduing.
Demon-Subduing said, "His Holiness the Pope, His Highness Su Mo said that the remaining Immortal Herbs are to be distributed by you.
Additionally, that treasure land not only has Immortal Herbs but also a large number of rare medicinal materials. Moreover, the medicinal materials planted there not only grow at an extremely fast speed but their quality far exceeds those in the outside World.
His Highness Su Mo instructed that a channel needs to be established with Spirit Hall in secret. After all, that place is located on the edge of the Heaven Dou Imperial City, so we must act cautiously to avoid alerting the enemy."
"Understood. I will arrange it." Qian Xunji nodded.
...
Half an hour later.
Hall of Worship.
Qian Xunji brought Qianjun and Demon-Subduing, who had already broken through to level 96, to the grand hall.
When Qian Xunji explained what had happened recently to Qian Daoliu and the other High Priests, the whole hall was shocked.
It was Su Mo again!
Ever since he became the disciple of the Pope, it was as if the Goddess of Luck had descended, and good things kept happening to Spirit Hall.
"Since you have both reached level 96, you will be Elders of the Hall of Worship from now on." Qian Daoliu stood with his hands behind his back.
"Yes, Big Brother." Qianjun and Demon-Subduing replied in unison.
At this time, except for Guangling Douluo, six of the seven High Priests had gathered.
"Uncle Xiongshi, this is a top-tier fire-attribute Immortal Herb."
Qian Xunji took the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower from his spirit tool and handed it to Mighty Lion Douluo, explaining its effects.
He had just sent someone to retrieve this spirit tool from the treasury; although it was not large, it could store living things.
Mighty Lion Douluo took it: "Number Six, when you go to that place, thank Xiao Mo properly for me."
"Alright, Fourth Brother!" Demon-Subduing replied.
Although Demon-Subduing broke through before Qianjun, he was originally the younger brother, and since their strength was not much different, he was ranked sixth.
"Uncle Qingluan, this is the Wind Shadow Phantom Martial Soul Grass, a wind-attribute Immortal Herb." Qian Xunji took out another one and introduced its effects and how to consume it.
Qingluan Douluo took it and also looked at Demon-Subduing: "Thank Xiao Mo for me as well."
"Alright, Third Brother."
Subsequently, Qian Xunji turned to Qian Daoliu: "Father, this is the light-attribute Immortal Herb prepared for me by Xiao Mo, called the Bright Holy Heart Grass.
But I know my talent is limited, so I intend to leave it for the next generation. Perhaps it can cultivate a genius, thereby gaining the favor of the Angel God."
Qian Daoliu took the jade box and opened it to see that the aura of light was extremely rich.
If Qian Xunji's descendants consumed this Immortal Herb, perhaps there really would be hope of inheriting the Angel God Position.
"It is good that you know." Qian Daoliu returned the jade box to him, then changed the subject, "Then when do you plan to start a family? You are not young anymore."
"I will consider it as soon as possible."
...
While Qian Xunji was conversing with the High Priests, Mighty Lion Douluo and Qingluan Douluo successively refined their respective Immortal Herbs.
The two were already at the peak of level 96, and with the help of the power of the Immortal Herb, they logically broke through to level 97.
Mighty Lion Douluo's Martial Soul, the Blazing Lion, had its flames purified by the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower, making its flames even more overbearing and its destructive power reaching a new level.
Qingluan Douluo's control over wind elements also became more exquisite, and the power of his wind-attribute attacks was greatly enhanced.
