Chapter 3 Refining! Refine them all!
Seeing the soul bone that burst from Qian Xunji's hand, Yue Guan and Gui Mei's eyes widened in astonishment.
The greed that was inherent in the soul master could not be suppressed no matter what.
Soul bones are extremely rare in this era. Even a thousand-year-old soul bone will attract the attention of powerful soul masters, hence the name "treasure of the Blood River".
Ignoring the greedy looks in their eyes, Qian Xunji directly put it into his storage soul tool.
Although such a worthless soul bone was like a chicken bone in his eyes, it wouldn't hurt to bestow it upon the two people in front of him.
But as I said before, you need to treat your subordinates with a combination of kindness and strictness.
This time, bringing them out and giving each of them a magical herb that can defy fate is already very generous.
Want a soul bone?
We'll see if the two remain loyal in the future!
"Yue Guan, go and sort and pack all the immortal herbs here. That Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum is yours."
"And bring one more for Ghostly Beauty as well."
As Qian Xunji spoke, he pointed to a golden chrysanthemum by the pond that was exactly the same as Yue Guan's martial spirit.
Belatedly realizing what was happening, Yue Guan followed Qian Xunji's gaze and looked in the direction he was pointing...
The next second, as if he were completely hyped up, he practically teleported to the golden chrysanthemum, and with a lovesick look on his face, carefully picked up the extraordinary, towering chrysanthemum...
Has he always been like this?
"Your Highness, this...uh..."
At this moment, Qian Xunji finally witnessed just how obsessed Yue Guan was with flowers and plants.
Although he had a general idea of the magical herbs that the seven good-for-nothings ate in the original story, he was still a complete novice.
These professional tasks should be left to professionals.
It took Yue Guan quite some time to come to his senses.
He gently placed the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum into the storage soul tool he had prepared beforehand, just as he would take care of his beloved wife.
At this moment, he felt the overwhelming loyalty in Qian Xunji's eyes was almost overflowing.
He also quickly found all the immortal herbs, such as the Dew of Longing for Autumn Water, the Tulip of Brocade, the Narcissus Jade Skin and Bone, and the Heartbreak Red of Longing, as Qian Xunji requested.
"Your Highness, this is the most suitable immortal herb for the old ghost, the Netherworld Spider Lily."
As he spoke, a strange flower, black with red undertones, appeared in his hand.
As the possessor of the Angelic Martial Soul, Qian Xunji naturally disliked such dark things.
After indicating that he should give it to the ghost to consume, he raised his hand and took the storage soul tool containing countless immortal herbs and high-grade spiritual medicines from Yue Guan's hand.
Qian Xunji briefly used his soul power to examine the various exquisitely packaged immortal herbs inside, and nodded in satisfaction.
The items here can bring countless potential Title Douluo to their Spirit Hall, and at the same time, they can help those old otaku in the Hall of Offerings break through their shackles.
After all, there seems to be a rule of heaven and earth on this Douluo Continent that suppresses the inheritance of those top-level martial souls.
For example, top-tier martial souls like the Nine-Heart Begonia and the Seven Kill Sword are almost always passed down through a single lineage.
The former is more extreme, where only two owners of the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul can appear in the same era.
Otherwise, Qian Xunji felt that the title of the strongest support should have nothing to do with the Qibao Ning family.
Damn it, a worthless, substandard martial soul that can only be cultivated to the Soul Saint level. What bad luck.
For example, in the Golden Crocodile King family of Golden Crocodile Douluo, only one Crocodile King-level martial soul can appear in each generation, and the rest can only awaken the Golden Crocodile at most.
This explains why, even though the Golden Crocodile King could easily defeat the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex, the latter is hailed as the number one beast spirit in the world.
However, what intrigued Qian Xunji the most was that those wielding the sledgehammers seemed completely unaffected by this inexplicable rule.
Goodness, those kids are being born one after another, and the innate soul power level of the Clear Sky Hammer martial souls they awaken is usually not low.
This is ridiculous! They're not even going to act anymore. If there's nothing dirty going on it, Qian Xunji says he'll just eat it!
'My Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul's divine and light powers are inherently at their pinnacle, as would be described ten thousand years later, but its fire attribute is still somewhat lacking.'
'If you want to make up for this, the Phoenix Cockscomb sunflower is undoubtedly the best choice.'
'but...'
Qian Xunji's gaze fell upon the area beneath the two-colored spring water.
Even if others don't know what's inside, doesn't he?
That's the Ice and Fire Dragon King!
The grave grass that forms from the energy released after the death of these creatures can help Soul Masters on the Douluo Continent defy fate if they eat it.
If I could find a way to refine the two dragon king skeletons below and then absorb the divine soul bones they dropped, wouldn't I be able to take off on the spot?
Unconsciously, his gaze turned fiery as he looked at the two Ice and Fire Immortal Herbs in the middle of the spring.
'It's such a waste to leave this stuff to a nobody; it's destined to be mine.'
Unlike other medicinal herbs, there are no specific methods for harvesting and consuming Star Anise and Fiery Apricot.
He still clearly remembered the basic premise: after taking the gold and jade objects separately, consume them simultaneously within ten breaths and then jump into the spring.
A blue light flashed from the storage ring on Qian Xunji's hand, and the right tool appeared in his hand.
He swiftly chopped off the roots of the two immortal herbs, wrapped them in his soul power, and brought them to himself before consuming them.
In just a few breaths, Qian Xunji's body suddenly trembled.
A layer of icy blue suddenly rose from beneath his feet, spreading across his entire body in an instant, dyeing him a translucent blue.
Before the blue faded, another layer of fiery red followed.
After only a moment's hesitation, Qian Xunji jumped into the spring water of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well to complete the Ice and Fire Golden Body that the scoundrel had boasted about.
On the shore, Yue Guan, who was explaining the precautions for taking the immortal herb to the ghost, heard a 'plop' behind him.
When he turned around, he was horrified. Qian Xunji was nowhere to be seen.
Only the spring water, which even terrified him, a powerful Soul Douluo, was constantly bubbling out.
"Old ghost..."
"His Highness, you're not going to jump, are you?"
Yue Guan swallowed hard, his voice trembling slightly.
Ghost was as taciturn as ever, but his back was soaked with cold sweat.
Putting aside the fact that if Qian Xunji really dies here, the two of them will also have reached the end of their lives.
Qian Daoliu giving them both a dignified death was the greatest favor he could bestow upon them.
"Yue Guan, don't worry. His Highness the Holy Son shouldn't be someone who doesn't value his own life."
"Let's wait here for a bit..."
