Chapter 65: Qian Daoliu's Promise: Do You Want Xiao Xue to Be Your Fiancée?
Hu Bai looked at Qian Renxue with a hint of nervousness in his eyes.
Time passed second by second. Just a few minutes later, the Yearning Heartbroken Red burst forth with a strong light again, and the white substance at its base melted away.
Qian Renxue had gained the recognition of the Yearning Heartbroken Red!
Qian Renxue looked at the Yearning Heartbroken Red in her hand, stunned for a moment, then joyfully said, "Xiao Bai, do you think I've succeeded? Hehe."
At this moment, Qian Renxue looked at Hu Bai with a tenderness in her eyes that even she didn't notice.
"Mm, Sister Xue is amazing. You should absorb this King of Immortal Herbs now; perhaps it will bring you unexpected effects."
Even Hu Bai wasn't entirely sure what effect the Yearning Heartbroken Red would have on Qian Renxue.
After all, in the original work, besides giving Xiao Wu a huge breakthrough in soul power, the most obvious effect of the Yearning Heartbroken Red was to protect its master.
It would protect its master when facing the aura of the Chrysanthemum released by Yue Guan.
After Xiao Wu's sacrifice, she was also able to preserve her physical body and soul from dissipating.
If she hadn't had the Yearning Heartbroken Red from the start, she probably wouldn't have had the chance to obtain Bai He's Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng later, and Xiao Wu's soul would have scattered.
Qian Renxue was somewhat expectant about this and began to absorb it while sitting cross-legged.
During her absorption, Qian Daoliu specially placed a soul power barrier around her to protect her from interference.
Qian Daoliu slowly walked in front of Hu Bai, with a benevolent smile on his face: "Little fellow, I have something to ask you now. Do you like your Sister Xue?"
Hu Bai was slightly stunned and said, "Of course, I like her. Sister Xue has such a good personality and is so beautiful. It's just that others don't know about Sister Xue's existence; otherwise, she would have a large number of admirers."
Qian Daoliu smiled: "You don't have to underestimate yourself. It's just that you haven't gone to the academy yet. Otherwise, with your charm, your admirers would probably be no less than Sister Xue's, and even more so due to your unique Charm bonus."
Hu Bai: ...
This, he really didn't know, after all, he hadn't been to an academy yet.
"Good, good, good. Since you are willing, how about I let Xiao Xue be your fiancée? When you grow up later, you will be the new Supreme Pontiff of Spirit Hall!"
"Of course, it's still too early to talk about that. Your teacher has already told me that if you can reach rank 40 and obtain a purple record badge by the age of twelve, you will be established as the Spirit Hall's Holy Son and allowed to choose a soul bone over fifty thousand years from the Spirit Hall treasury."
"However, I, this old man, will make the decision. If you can do that, I will help you find a Hundred-thousand Year soul bone as a gift, how about that?"
The current Qian Daoliu appeared extremely domineering in Hu Bai's eyes!
You know, that's a Hundred-thousand Year soul bone!
If he had a transmigration welfare system, he definitely wouldn't be interested in a Hundred-thousand-Year soul bone, but unfortunately, he was just an ordinary rebirth (reincarnated) person who had undergone an awakening of his past life memories.
Qian Daoliu's promise astonished everyone present, even Bibi Dong. This was an incredibly grand gesture!
Even among the original seven worshipers in the Worship Hall, only Qian Daoliu and the Golden Crocodile Douluo possessed a Hundred-thousand-Year soul bone.
Qingluan Douluo transmitted a message: "Big Brother, the Hundred-thousand-Year soul bone you mentioned—you wouldn't be referring to the Evil Spirit Orca King, would you?"
This time, when Qingluan Douluo and Guangling Douluo traveled to Sea God Island, they also learned about the other two stronger sea overlords: the Demon Soul Great White Shark and the Evil Spirit Orca King.
When they were hunting the Evil Spirit Orca pack this time, they encountered this Hundred-thousand-Year Soul Beast, but unfortunately, it escaped.
They estimated that the Evil Spirit Orca King's strength was probably not just a hundred thousand years, but perhaps two hundred thousand years!
Otherwise, even with the advantage of the ocean, they wouldn't have been so easily escaped by it.
To be honest, this was the first time they had seen a Soul Beast with a cultivation of around two hundred thousand years; they had only heard of them before but never seen one in person.
Moreover, the strength of Sea Soul Beasts is indeed much greater than that of land Soul Beasts.
Once they feel they are no match, they will dive into the deep sea, which is why Qingluan and Guangling, two rank 97 Super Douluo, were unable to capture/defeat them.
Qian Daoliu nodded imperceptibly: "Indeed, there is such a plan, but it's a backup. The Evil Spirit Orca King possesses water and dark attributes. Although they are not extreme, its cultivation is high enough.
This kid Hu Bai already possesses the Extreme Ice attribute. With practice, he should be able to convert between ice and water relatively smoothly. The Sea Soul Beast soul ring mentioned before might not be needed, but a Soul Bone would still be useful."
Besides the Evil Spirit Orca King, Qian Daoliu had another place to obtain a Hundred-thousand-Year Soul Bone, and that was the Extreme North!
Ordinary Soul Masters cannot delve deep into the Extreme North. Even Titled Douluo without ice attributes dare not enter the core region, only daring to hunt Soul Beasts in the outer areas.
Although he doesn't have an ice attribute, he has the strength of rank 99. There must be a Hundred-thousand-Year Soul Beast he desires in the core region of the Extreme North!
"Grandpa Qian, if Sister Xue can be my fiancée, I am naturally willing, but it still depends on her wishes. I think it's best to let nature take its course for such matters." Hu Bai smiled and said, "Besides, we are still young; there's no rush."
"Hahaha, good, good, good, I'll listen to you. However, since Xiao Xue was able to gain the recognition of this Immortal Herb, it means her feelings for you are sincere. I will ask her privately for you then." Qian Daoliu whispered, looking exactly like an old mischievous child.
Bibi Dong's eyes moved back and forth between Hu Bai and Qian Renxue. This... perhaps isn't bad.
She found that ever since Hu Bai's Martial Soul awakened, the atmosphere between Spirit Hall and the Worship Hall had indeed eased considerably, and he seemed to have become everyone's favorite.
"Oh, by the way, Grandpa Qian, and all of you grandfathers, I originally wanted to pick suitable Immortal Herbs for you as well, but the remaining Immortal Herbs are not many. If I pull any more, the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well might become bald."
"Do you know anyone who can refine medicinal pills? Extracting the essence of some precious medicinal herbs and refining them into medicinal pills might also be of some help to you. Even if not, they can be awarded to Soul Masters who have made significant contributions to Spirit Hall."
Who is good at refining medicinal pills?
Qian Daoliu said, "For refining medicinal pills, aren't Chrysanthemum Douluo and Poison Douluo capable?"
Hu Bai shook his head: "They both can, but with just two people, the efficiency is too low. Does Spirit Hall have a group of people who are more familiar with medicinal pills, or is there any sect outside that is good at it, which our Spirit Hall can subdue?"
