Douluo: The martial soul Nine-headed Xiangliu swallows the sky and devours the earth!

Chapter 203 Surveillance
"A top-grade spiritual herb. Its effects are extraordinary, capable of directly enhancing one's martial soul. If I could obtain one, I wonder how much of a boost it would provide to me!"

Xue Qinghe watched the carriage drive away, muttering to herself that the spiritual herb her second brother had consumed had a remarkable effect on his development, and was extremely beneficial to a Soul Master!
Her martial soul is a god-level martial soul with innate soul power of level 20. It possesses divine attributes and has a great ability to restrain all evil-attribute martial souls. So, will the spirit herbs be useful to her?

She wasn't really sure, but if she could get one, it wouldn't be a loss.

And to be honest, she was extremely eager for the effects of this top-grade spiritual herb. Not to mention that it could achieve the same enhancement effect on the Snow Swan Martial Soul as that spiritual herb, it could at least have half the effect on the enhancement of her own Martial Soul.

She would be perfectly content. Revealing this today means that even without her, it's not a loss; having her is a gain.

No matter the cost, as long as it's within her means, she's willing to pay it. As the saying goes, top-grade spiritual herbs are rare treasures, things that can only be encountered by chance!

Once the carriage had completely disappeared from her sight, she turned her gaze back to the inner courtyard, sat on the rattan chair on the balcony, savored her tea, and pondered her future plans.

It is certain that we need to build our own team, but not all of the soul masters in it can be local, and not all of the soul masters sent by the Spirit Hall can be local.

The Spirit Hall's Spirit Masters must make up at least 80%, while locally recruited Spirit Masters can only make up 20%. This is the result of careful consideration. If all the Spirit Hall's Spirit Masters were used...

There is an inevitable risk of exposure. If there are local Soul Masters, something might go wrong. So this is the only way to arrange it. However, if he wants to build a team and have a certain amount of strength, then he can succeed.

Elixirs, a valuable resource for Soul Masters, are definitely indispensable.

There are many types of first-grade pills, but several are particularly useful to Soul Masters. One of them is the Spirit Gathering Pill, which can directly increase a Soul Master's cultivation speed by up to 20%.

There are also Violent Pills, Wind-Riding Pills, Yellow Extreme Pills, and Soul-Restoring Pills. These pills can increase a Soul Master's various attributes, up to a maximum of 20%. Healing Pills can quickly heal a Soul Master's injuries.

The effect is roughly equivalent to the second or third soul skill effect of a healing soul master.

The effects of second-grade pills far surpass those of first-grade pills.

The Rejuvenation Pill can restore injuries, as well as soul power and vital energy, with effects far exceeding those of the Soul Restoration Pill and the Healing Pill. The Soul Nourishing Pill can further enhance, restore, and heal spiritual power.

Among the second-grade pills, the most amazing one is the second-grade Foundation Establishment Pill. It can consolidate the floating soul power and solidify one's own foundation, but these are secondary. The most important thing is that it can improve the soul power level of a Great Soul Master by one level!
Pills are said to be resources for Soul Masters' cultivation, but more accurately, they should be considered strategic resources.

Any elixir produced by those second-rate sects, without powerful soul masters, would be impossible to keep. Not just one side would be eyeing it covetously, but all sides would be drooling over it!
The Xuanling Pill Sect does something quite interesting: it spends money to avoid disaster, and it also has close cooperation with the Spirit Hall, the two great empires, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. Moreover, it can develop pills of even higher quality.

Even their Spirit Hall would have to think twice before making a move against the Profound Spirit Pill Sect. Depleting resources is clearly not an option, and the Spirit Hall wouldn't do it anyway.

Given that woman's domineering nature, the Xuanling Pill Sect, a newly emerging force that also possesses important methods for refining pills, certainly cannot roam freely outside.

"Young Master!" The Serpent Spear Douluo suddenly appeared, dressed in golden armor, with a burly and imposing figure. He knelt on one knee and respectfully addressed the other party, asking, "May I ask what business the Young Master has with me?"
Xue Qinghe rested his chin on his hand, not looking at the other person, his eyes gazing into the distance, towards the direction of the Spirit Hall: "Pass on my orders: during this time, monitor the whereabouts of my two younger brothers and report to me at all times!"

Upon hearing this, Serpent Spear raised an eyebrow, then immediately understood: "It's the young master!"

After saying that, he left and began to arrange his men. His young master was planning to take action against Xueye's other sons. This was originally part of the plan, but wasn't this a bit too hasty?

"The chessboard is ready, the pieces are in place, and the stage is set up. Now it's our turn to play against the Spirit Hall and the Heaven Dou Empire."

"Oh no, calling it a game of chess is just to elevate the Heavenly Dou Empire," Xue Qinghe murmured. He knew he wouldn't make a move now, but he needed to keep track of his opponent's movements at all times.

"Now, let's just wait quietly for the opportunity to arise." With that, she got up and returned to the main hall. The hall was dark and eerie, and at this moment, she seemed to have merged with her surroundings, completely swallowed by the darkness.

On the other hand, after leaving the Crown Prince's residence, Dugu Yao returned to the Nine Nether Cave without stopping.

When Dugu Bo told his grandfather about this, he wasn't surprised. He didn't care much about pills, even though there was a high market demand for them.

However, their Xuanling Pill Sect can still allocate a portion to supply Xue Qinghe, but top-grade spiritual herbs certainly cannot be given away easily.

After all, when their Xuanling Pill Sect brought out the top-grade spiritual herb at the banquet, they said that even the Xuanling Pill Sect only had a few of these herbs, making them extremely precious.

When the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School came, they didn't give them a single plant. There's no reason why they should give it to Xue Qinghe just because he asked for it. Besides, Dugu Yao didn't say anything definitive; he could just say no when the time comes.

Time flies, and a week has already passed in the blink of an eye.

Dugu Yao, Dugu Yan, and Ye Lingling once again took a carriage to Tiandou City to register at the Tiandou Royal Academy. As soon as they arrived at the academy's gate, they encountered Yu Tianheng.

Yu Tianheng looked at the magnificent carriage of the Xuanling Pill Sect. Although he really wanted to ask for one, he also knew that the rarity of top-grade spiritual herbs meant that he probably didn't have any.

Moreover, he might run into obstacles, so he avoided contact with Dugu Yao and the others altogether.

The two sides exchanged a brief glance without speaking, and then entered the academy. Dugu Yao and the others were in front, while Yu Tianheng was behind. They walked through the street and a long corridor to the registration area.

Since they were all acquaintances, Dugu Yao and the others only exchanged greetings and registered with the teacher before filling in their names on the form, which was originally supposed to be filled in by the person in question.

As time went by, to be honest, the three of them were now too lazy to even register, but that was definitely not acceptable, after all, the dean of the academy was that emperor.
