Douluo Continent: Martial Soul Heavenly Dao Umbrella, Seven Kills Annihilation

Chapter 37 Third Soul Skill, Getting to Know Chrysanthemum Douluo
Jiang Nian silently retreated behind Bibi Dong, watching the movements ahead.

Those people lured the soul beast here, and it ran away very quickly.

But I remembered to remind him that he's actually quite nice.

dong dong dong~
Trees fell, and the earth shook violently.

Jiang Nian held the Heavenly Dao Umbrella, ready for battle at any moment.

"Roar!"

A shout rang out, and Bibi Dong suddenly opened her eyes, activating her Killing God Domain.

The once furious Flaming Lion's eyes cleared, and its cubs shrank back in fear.

"Hmm? How strange..."

Jiang Nian was taken aback. This ten-thousand-year-old soul beast actually brought its clan out to their deaths; it was simply...

Bibi Dong turned her gaze to the most robust child behind the Fiery Lion, a smirk playing on her lips: "Little Nian, a fire-attribute soul beast that's 6,500 years old, how about it?"

“Okay,” Jiang Nian replied.

Then, he looked at the family of soul beasts and was speechless.

Everyone else delivers them one by one, but this cat came out and delivered them all at once.

In this situation, there's no other way but to kill them all.

Half a minute later.

Bibi Dong leisurely sat back in her chair, waiting for Jiang Nian to finish absorbing the soul ring.

Under the pull of soul power, the soul ring floated around him.

The absorption process went smoothly and was a perfect match.

Jiang Nian opened his eyes, comfortably twisted his body, and crackled all over.

It seems to have grown a tiny bit more.

"Tell me, how was your harvest?" Bibi Dong looked at the manicure on her hands and asked softly.

Jiang Nian organized his thoughts.

"The third soul skill is called Flame Rain. It grants 100% immunity to fire elements and can absorb enemy fire attacks, with a 50% conversion rate."

"When using fire-attribute power, there is a 100% bonus, and there is a chance to produce an explosion effect, doubling the amplification."

Bibi Dong raised an eyebrow, a smile playing on her lips.

"So, the maximum increase could reach 300%?"

"And this immunity..."

Jiang Nian nodded, suddenly feeling that his luck was running out.

"Good... Now that we've absorbed the spirit ring, let's leave."

"By the way, burn these soul beast corpses and see if any soul bones will drop out."

Jiang Nian agreed and raised his hand to control the flames, burning the corpses to ashes.

However, no soul bone was found.

The two didn't care. If you could just find a thousand-year-old or ten-thousand-year-old soul beast to get a soul bone, then this thing would be worthless.

"Let's go back to the Spirit Hall."

······
noon the next day.

The carriage entered Wuhun City, and Jiang Nian had finished consolidating his cultivation.

It has now stabilized at level 33.

He got off the bus midway, and Bibi Dong made him get off to buy food.

"Really... let those maids take care of it..."

Jiang Nian rubbed his buttocks and looked around but didn't see his ATM girl.

He had no choice but to pay.

Half an hour later.

Jiang Nian arrived at the elegant residence behind the Papal Palace.

This is Bibi Dong's new residence; you can smell the fragrance of flowers as soon as you enter.

"Teacher, please eat first. I'm going back to cultivate."

The young woman frowned slightly, then waved for him to leave.

As Jiang Nian walked out of the Papal Palace, he felt a little more at ease.

As he wandered around, he suddenly smelled the fragrance of many flowers.

Just from that one bite, he could name four or five different flowers and plants. Jiang Nian curiously went over and saw a person dressed in a black robe sticking out his buttocks and moving up and down. It seemed that he was planting flowers, not pooping.

"Huh? Who?"

A sharp voice rang out, and Jiang Nian instantly learned the person's identity.

"Meet Elder Ju."

Yue Guan stroked his chin, looked him over for a moment, and then smiled: "So you are His Holiness the Pope's disciple."

Is there something you need from me?

Jiang Nian clasped his hands in a salute and smiled gently: "I was attracted by the fragrance of the flowers, and I am also quite interested in flowers and plants, so I subconsciously came to Your Majesty's territory."

Yue Guan's expression brightened, she dusted off her hands and quickly walked up to him: "You...you like flowers and plants too?!"

"Ah."

Taking the opportunity, Jiang Nian mentioned the names of several rare herbs and shared his understanding of flowers and plants. Yue Guan immediately embraced him as if he were a close friend.

"In all my years at the Spirit Hall, this is the first time I've met someone like you."

Jiang Nian stiffly extended his hand, which Yue Guan grasped firmly.

"I know you're excited too, aren't you?"

"Tell me, what do you want? You can take any of the flowers and plants I have here!"

Jiang Nian coughed: "Elder Ju, I'm a little dying."

Yue Guan's smile froze, and she quickly let go of him.

"Cough cough~"

Jiang Nian saw him become serious in a second and silently made a few comments to herself.

"Elder Ju, I would like to learn more about flowers and plants. Do you have any good books or anything like that?"

Yue Guan nodded, then took out a thick booklet from his storage soul tool.

"This is the information I've compiled over my lifetime; it might be useful to you."

"If you can name a few miraculous herbs, I'll know you're someone who loves flowers and plants very much."

Yue Guan suddenly became serious, put his hands behind his back, and looked up at the sky.

"I wonder if I will ever see one again in my lifetime."

"If I could see it, I would have no regrets in this life."

Jiang Nian held the thick notebook, flipped through a few pages, and then tossed it into his spatial bracelet.

"That day will surely come."

Yue Guan nodded, then looked at him with eyes full of admiration.

"Jiang Nian, if you have any questions, you can come and ask me. I will answer them for you personally."

"Take any of these flowers and herbs you like."

After saying that, he patted his chest with great confidence.

After expressing his gratitude, Jiang Nian bid farewell to Yue Guan and returned to his residence.

The Temple of the Holy Maiden is now almost becoming the Temple of the Holy Son.

···
In the following days, in addition to attending classes and reporting his learning progress to Bibi Dong, Jiang Nian also had to go to Chrysanthemum Douluo's place to learn about flowers and plants.

He was alone at first, but Qian Renxue and Jin Yue'er followed him over.

However, the two of them just lay in the garden sunbathing, occasionally stealing food from the flowers, plants, and fruits that Yue Guan had planted.

Yue Guan was also helpless against these two little devils.

Fortunately, Jiang Nian's serious attitude towards learning eased his heart, which was on the verge of breaking.

“Xiao Nian, look at this three-leafed grass that is entirely blue, it’s called Qinglan grass.”

"It has detoxifying and heat-clearing effects. If you accidentally get poisoned outside, eating this can usually relieve the symptoms."

Jiang Nian's eyes lit up. "Take it, take it, it's all good stuff."

Afterwards, Yue Guan personally demonstrated how to dig it away.

The methods required for processing each type of flower and herb are not quite the same; if done haphazardly, the medicinal properties may be compromised.

Jiang Nian studied very diligently.

The little golden retriever here will eat anything that looks good.

"Yue'er, look how pretty this mushroom is... Would you like to try some?"
