In Douluo Continent, his martial soul mutated into Blue Silver Grass.

Chapter 229 Angels Borrow Celestial Items to Subdue Chrysanthemums and Demons

"Young Master!" Yue Guan, Gui Mei, and Dugu Bo saw that Qian Renxue had successfully absorbed the soul ring and directly bypassed the shielding soul tool set up by Lin Hai.

"Hmm!" Qian Renxue responded calmly.

She's pretty confused right now, as for the reason...

Of course, it's because there's a chattering rabbit in her mind's sea of ​​consciousness.

Because of the forest, Xiao Wu's sacrifice was not a sacrifice in the conventional sense. Unlike Tang San's mother, the previous Blue Silver Emperor, who sacrificed herself wholeheartedly and left behind a seed.

Xiao Wu's sacrifice is similar to that of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm and the Ice Emperor Jade Scorpion in the original timeline, ten thousand years later, where she sacrifices her physical power to the Soul Master while preserving her soul power.

Lin Hai had originally intended to give it a try. According to his conjecture, this kind of sacrifice that could preserve the essence of the soul should only be possessed by 100,000-year-old soul beasts that had survived the Heavenly Tribulation.

Because in the original timeline, Huo Yuhao obtained the 400,000-year-old Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion Soul Ring, and later, the red Soul Ring he obtained through sacrifice both reached the level of ferocious beasts.

However, the three-eyed golden lion auspicious beast, a treasure of the Star Dou Great Forest, was different. When she sacrificed herself to Huo Yuhao, she gave him both her body and soul. She also gave him the fortune of the Star Dou Great Forest, preventing Di Tian and the other beasts from harming him.

……

Before Xiao Wu made her sacrifice, Lin Hai gave her a hint: it was still a sacrifice, but she should preserve her spiritual body. Xiao Wu did this, and she succeeded.

That's why Xiao Wu didn't leave behind a rabbit body after the sacrifice.

"How are you feeling?" Lin Hai asked as he approached Qian Renxue.

Without wasting any words, Qian Renxue directly possessed her martial spirit.

The angelic martial soul shone brightly, followed by rings of soul rings slowly appearing.

Yellow, purple, black... red!!!

The last ring of red spirit rings was particularly eye-catching.

"A 100,000-year-old spirit ring!!!"

"After the Pope and that scoundrel Tang Hao, the young master is the third soul master I have ever seen with a 100,000-year soul ring! And it's a 100,000-year soul ring on the seventh ring." Yue Guan couldn't help but exclaim.

"Congratulations, young master!"

"Congratulations, young master!"

"Elders, there's no need for such formalities. My success is largely due to your contributions!"

"Elders, would you be willing to follow me from now on?"

"We swear to serve the Spirit Hall to the death and be loyal to our young master." Yue Guan and Gui Mei said in the most standard and formal way.

"Elders, please don't try to fool me."

"You should understand what I mean!" Qian Renxue gave Yue Guan and Gui Mei a deep look.

"You should both be well aware of my relationship with that woman, so, elders, give me a straight answer!!"

"This..." Yue Guan and Gui Mei looked at each other in bewilderment.

They secretly complained to themselves, "They're both from the Spirit Hall, and they're even mother and daughter, so how did their relationship get to this point?"

The two were caught off guard and couldn't make a choice. The situation had escalated into an internal power struggle within the Spirit Hall, with factions emerging.

Standing behind Qian Renxue was Qian Daoliu, a level 99 peerless Sky Douluo, as well as the Super Douluos from the Hall of Worship.

Bibi Dong controls all the lower-level and mid-level Soul Master forces of the Spirit Hall. Furthermore, the nine Title Douluo elders of the Elder Hall, including Yue Guan and Gui Mei, will obey her orders.

When Bibi Dong reveals her true strength, whether Qian Daoliu will still be able to command these nine Title Douluos is another matter entirely!

Because Bibi Dong is now a level 99 Peerless Douluo with dual martial souls, and the Rakshasa God Trial is also underway.

Once the sect leader of the Holy Dragon Sect breaks through to become a Title Douluo, Bibi Dong will have even more power at her disposal.

If we only consider the two factions within the Spirit Hall, Qian Renxue is weaker than Bibi Dong.

……

"Lin Hai!" Qian Renxue suddenly called out Lin Hai's name.

"Hmm? What's wrong?"

When Yue Guan heard their young master suddenly call out to his grand-nephew, he assumed that Qian Renxue had sent Lin Hai to persuade him. If that were the case, he would be truly torn.

It wasn't that he didn't want to leave Bibi Dong, but he knew Bibi Dong's character all too well; she would never let those who betrayed her get away with it.

Moreover, Yue Guan didn't believe that Qian Renxue could defeat Bibi Dong's power. He had been by Bibi Dong's side for many years, and Bibi Dong's foundation was terrifying.

In his early years, Yue Guan had met Qian Daoliu and felt the terror of Qian Daoliu's peerless Douluo. In recent years, he has also felt the same kind of power from Bibi Dong, which is in no way inferior to that of Qian Daoliu.

Lin Hai approached Qian Renxue, but she didn't immediately acknowledge him. Instead, she spoke to Yue Guan and Gui Mei, saying, "Elders, you don't need to worry about betrayal."

"Ultimately, this is an internal matter of the Spirit Hall. You only have job transfers, not any betrayal or allegiance to anyone else."

"Once you enter the Hall of Offerings, you will no longer have to obey that woman's orders."

"This is the rule that the Spirit Hall has followed for many years, and even if she were the Pope of the Spirit Hall, she could not violate it!"

"Give it to me!" After Qian Renxue finished speaking to Yue Guan and Gui Mei, she turned around and stretched out her hand to Lin Hai, saying this.

"Huh? What are you going to take?" Lin Hai was confused. What kind of riddle was Qian Renxue playing?

"Give me your immortal treasure, consider it a loan!" Qian Renxue said calmly.

"..." Qian Renxue is so domineering, at this moment he actually feels like he wants to obey her.

"How many plants do you want?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Qian Renxue's eyes.

Qian Renxue: It seems he has quite a lot of stock on hand!

"Two plants, please!"

Lin Hai: The word "first" is very clever!

Lin Hai took out a dark lotus flower and a blood-red flower with roots growing on a rock from his Ruyi Treasure Pouch.

"It's the Love-Sickness Heartbreak Red! It's actually the Love-Sickness Heartbreak Red!!!" Even in this solemn setting, Yue Guan couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"Oh? Elder Ju knows about this divine plant!"

"Yes, young master!" Yue Guan stood up and bowed to Qian Renxue.

He then went on to explain, "The Acacia Heartbreak Red is a supreme treasure among immortal items, and the most supreme king among immortal items."

"It has the power to bring the dead back to life, to heal flesh and bone, and to rival the wonders of nature."

There is also a poignant legend about the Acacia oleracea.

"Legend has it that long ago, there was a young man who was gentle and quiet by nature. He loved to tend to flowers and plants, and his garden was full of lotus flowers and water lilies, a riot of colors. He would often recite poems to the flowers and raise his cup to invite the moon. But whenever a flower fell and its petals withered, he would be filled with sorrow. He would gather the petals, dig a hole and bury them, and weep repeatedly."

"As the saying goes, love can move heaven and earth. His love for flowers touched the hearts of the flower fairies in heaven, who secretly descended to the mortal realm to marry him. Their blissful union was beyond description. But their happiness was short-lived. When the gods learned of their affair, they were furious. They decreed that a celestial being and a mortal should not be together, and ordered the flower fairies to be sent back to the divine realm. Since losing his beloved, the young man had been sighing and lamenting all day long, and had abandoned his flower-related work. As a result, the walls collapsed, the fences crumbled, the flowers and trees withered, and the garden became a desolate place."

"One day, an old man with white hair came and told him that the white peony he loved in the garden was the incarnation of his beloved wife. He only needed to destroy the flower, and the flower fairy would lose her fairy body and be banished to the mortal world to remarry him. But he must never destroy the flower."

"After speaking, he turned into a gentle breeze and disappeared. The young man suddenly realized his mistake and deeply regretted his neglect of the flowers. He then carefully tended to the flowers and plants. Although he loved his wife, he could not bear to burn the peony. He cherished it even more and wept over the flowers day and night. When his tears dried up and his heart broke, he died of lovesickness. At the end of his life, he dripped his blood onto the petals."

"What a tragic story!" Dugu Boxian exclaimed to the others.

Yue Guan continued speaking about the Love-Sickness Heartbreak Red, "When picking the Love-Sickness Heartbreak Red, one must think of one's beloved in one's heart, with utmost sincerity, and sprinkle a drop of blood on the petals. If one is even slightly distracted, one can forget about picking the flower, even if one vomits blood and dies."

"Once the flower is picked, it will never wither as long as it stays with its owner. The stone beneath the flower is named Wujue. If it is forcibly destroyed, this Acacia Heartbreak Red will also lose all its medicinal properties."

Then Yue Guan looked at Lin Hai with a resentful gaze, as if to say, "You brat, you actually have such a top-grade immortal item hidden away. Do you still consider me your great-uncle?"

Lin Hai ignored Yue Guan's gaze and continued to introduce the second immortal plant in his hand.

"I found the Cold Lotus in the River of Darkness. It is extremely dark and penetrating, and can improve the quality of soul power and enhance talent."

Lin Hai gave a brief introduction to this Cold Lotus. As for this Cold Lotus, Lin Hai discovered it using his mental power. It was something that Tang San from the original timeline couldn't find, and its hiding place was extremely well concealed.

Qian Renxue accepted the two immortal herbs that Lin Hai handed her. Then her gaze returned to Yue Guan and Gui Mei.

To be honest, offering two extremely precious immortal plants to win over Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo comes at a considerable cost. It's not just about the preciousness of the immortal plants; it also means owing Lin Hai a significant favor.

However, she already owes Lin Hai quite a few favors. As the saying goes, the more debts you have, the less you have to worry about them.

Using a celestial item to win over Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo was an idea that Qian Renxue had come up with after Lin Hai told her that he had a celestial item to help her absorb a soul ring, but she hadn't been able to use it. This idea was one that she had thought about carefully.

Her alliance with Lin Hai is now very strong. After learning that Chrysanthemum Douluo was Lin Hai's elder, Qian Renxue finally understood why Lin Hai had asked her to transfer Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo to her side.

Winning over Chrysanthemum Douluo was not only about weakening Bibi Dong's original power and strengthening one's own, but also an important means of winning over Lin Hai and maintaining the relationship between Lin Hai and Wei Qi.

Ghost Douluo was merely an afterthought; if one was brought along, the other couldn't be neglected either, and Ghost Douluo himself was quite powerful.

She also knew that breaking through level 95 was not an easy task. Only when Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo broke through level 95 and reached level 96 could she openly pull Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo away from Bibi Dong and be free from Bibi Dong's control.

Because Lin Hai had revealed the truth about the gods, Qian Renxue became increasingly curious about him. She felt that anything that could deepen her connection with Lin Hai was a worthwhile investment.

"Elder Ju, Elder Gui, do you see my sincerity now?"

Yue Guan and Gui Mei also sensed Qian Renxue's eagerness to find talented people.

Yue Guan and Gui Mei exchanged another glance, seeing the determination in each other's eyes. Their greatest fear was that Bibi Dong would seek revenge later. Although Chrysanthemum Douluo had already broken through to the Super Douluo realm, he wouldn't abandon Ghost Douluo and enter the Hall of Worship alone.

Adding to the conflict, his grand-nephew Lin Hai unusually sided with their young master against the Pope of the Spirit Hall.

Now that Ghost Douluo has the strength to enter the Hall of Worship, there's no need to hesitate. Leveling up and entering the Hall of Worship is a rule that the Spirit Hall has never changed. Bibi Dong has no reason to say they betrayed her.

"I am willing to die for my young lord!"

"Death is too serious. As long as you follow my instructions, everything will be fine."

"Then these two divine plants are a reward to you."

"Young Master, I've already broken through to level 96!" Yue Guan didn't take it, but instead said to Qian Renxue.

"Hmm? You broke through? When did it happen? Why didn't you tell me?"

"I asked my great-uncle to keep this a secret for now," Lin Hai said, trying to comfort Yue Guan.

"Could it be that Elder Ju's breakthrough was also due to your influence?"

"Is it also a divine item?"

Seeing that Yue Guan and Lin Hai remained silent, Qian Renxue knew she was right. However, this also further proved that the relationship between Lin Hai and Yue Guan was deeper than she had imagined.

"In that case, Elder Ghost, please accept it!"

"This Cold Lotus is very suitable for Elder Ghost."

"As for this 'Heartbreak Red' (a type of red peony), I think it's best if you keep it yourself," Lin Hai suggested.

"Me? This..." Qian Renxue hesitated, not for any other reason than that the difficulty of obtaining the Acacia Heartbreak Red was a bit too great for her.

Love is still a distant dream! She does have a good impression of Lin Hai, but that impression hasn't developed into love yet.

Lin Hai's move was intentional, as he was about to launch an offensive against Qian Renxue.

Sending a gift in advance, especially one related to love, would undoubtedly make Qian Renxue feel favorably toward him.

"Young Master, please accept it!"

As he spoke, Yue Guan took out his soul tool that could store living things and handed it to Qian Renxue. "Young Master, this soul tool can store living things. You can put this King of Immortal Items into it."

"Then... Elder Ju, I'll accept it for now, and I'll find you another one later."

"It's alright, young master. Although such soul tools are rare, I still have some."

"In that case, thank you for your kindness, Elder Ju."

Qian Renxue accepted the soul tool that Yue Guan offered and put the Acacia Heartbreak Red into it.

As for the ghost, he was still a bit dazed after making his statement. He had obtained the divine item that so many people longed for. To be honest, he was quite surprised himself.

However, he was mostly overjoyed. With this Cold Lotus, he was able to break through and enter the ranks of Super Douluo. At least he could fight alongside Chrysanthemum Pass again without holding her back, and he also had a new direction to strive for.

"In that case, everything is settled, let's set off back!"

Lin Hai: "Wait a moment, there's somewhere I'd like to go. Do you have time to accompany me?"
