Long Yue is then brought to the pope who just gestured everybody to leave before taking Long Yue's notes. Taking a look at his notes, he then turned to Long Yue before exerting pressure," are you the one who wrote this notes? ", Long Yue nodded while ensuring the pressure.
Level 22, level 23 , level 24....
It's gradually increasing, Qian Xunji asked," how did you research this? ", Long Yue said," your majesty, this started when I found a book about herbs in the library named thousand herbs and fungi compendium. I'm intrigued by their properties and took account of their behaviour on every mixture after buying few of them. I started small by adding their mixtures and drops of elixir together. By trial and error, I started making pills using the basic methods of Alchemy I found in the library. This is the culmination of my 3 months work. Although some of them still have toxicity and needs few herbs to remove it, i managed to cultivate few low level antitode pills for the poison before taking them to raise my soul power and digest it for a few days ".
Long Yue's voice is calm. Qian Xunji asked questions about the herbs, their combinations, future ideas, replacement herbs and processes in the book one by one to see if Long Yue is telling the truth. Seeing Long Yue answering them all correctly he took the boy into the Elder Hall.
As Long Yue entered the majestic building he is greeted with the sight of the Angel Goddess statue. Strangely the angel goddess statue has 4 pairsnof wings rather than the usual 3 pairs. Long Yue looked dazed seeing the statue, the face of the Angel Goddess real statue herself looks enchanting.
Then he saw Qian Xunji bowing to the statue and bowed too. He isn't Tang San who is protected by the plot armour. One wrong step in front of angel Goddess statue will incur the wrath of Qian Daoliu and Qian Xunji. Qian Daoliu approached them and asked while giving Qian Xunji a cold look," why are you here? Don't you have pope duties to attend? I'm hearing rumours that some of the bishops became corrupt and committung crimes yet you're letting them go. And why did bring this child to the elder hall ".
Qian Xunji hastily handed Long Yue's notes of theory and Alchemy to Qian Daoliu who took it with a frown. The more he read, the more he frowned. Finally he cast his gaze on Long Yue who instinctively took a step back. Qian Daoliu approached the boy step by step before asking," boy, are you the who wrote this? Tell me honestly. If you're lying, I'll kill you here for disrespecting the angel goddess for lying in front of her ".
Long Yue hastily said," yes, your majesty. But I'm not lying. I can list the books one by one that helped in this research and you can verify them. If I'm really found lying, you can have my head ", Qian Daoliu's gaze softened a little as Qian Xunji handed some books to Qian Daoliu that has the content and referenced theory from the books.
Looking at Long Yue he asked," are you confident you can walk on this path? You're wasting your precious future already by spending time on this. If you agree to continue I'll provide with resources and ask one of the elders to be your teacher. What are your thoughts on this? ".
Long Yue said," I'm confident I can continue on this path. I was able to reach level 10 from level 6 soul power just because of this. But your majesty, if it's not rude can you heart my request? ", Qian Xunji frowned and a cold glint appeared in his eyes, but Qian Daoliu patted his shoulder and made him calm down.
" Speak ", Qian Daoliu asked. " As I'm the pioneer and only one in this path, the test subject will be me. This work is based on my body and martial soul. So I'm humbly asking you not to give this theory out until I modify it for others. I request you not to place this in the library and only in the elder hall for the time being so to avoid harming others ".
Qian Daoliu asked sharply," so you're not confident in your own theory ", Long Yue said," I'm confident in my theory, but this is a theory only based on my constitution and martial soul. The path of Pioneer is a dangerous one. I modified things to suit my cultivation path. I can't guarantee it works for others because it's only in beginner stage and needs further improvement and refinement ".
Qian Daoliu stayed silent and said," okay, I'll agree. But I'm giving you one-year to produce a pill that can increase soul power of someone below level 20. If you can do it, then I'll give you as many resources as possible to aid you in cultivation ".

Long Yue is then taken to the soul douluo, Shen Wei. The future fifteen ton douluo. He is a soul douluo with the cultivation level 88. He has a twin brother Shen Tian who is of the same rank. But Shen Wei staff releases electric blue soul power while Shen Tian's staff releases bright red flame like soul power.
Shen Wei is easy going but Shen Tian is the troublesome type that won't speak much and even sometimes Long Yue felt he is being looked down on by this guy. They're assigned to guide him and take care of his first soul ring. Long Yue is glad about one thing at the end. Qian Daoliu didn't beag him up. Why? He asked for whale glue and for that Qian Daoliu and Qian Xunji almost slapped him before he explained the details.
The whale glue after hearing to remove impurities and taken directly will increase physical strength due to it's yang properties. It isn't until Long Yue proved it by absorbing a hundred year old whale glue that they believed him. They decided to keep it a secret and started secretly buying whale glue although Long Yue told them about the limits and the decreased effects after taking few of them.
