Douluo Continent Villain Simulator: Persecuting Qian Renxue at the Start

Chapter 131 Qian Renxue: Do you think I'm stupid?

Su Cheng nodded and walked back to the spring.

"Now that you have cultivated a technique that can enhance your bloodline and cultivation level, and you intend to upgrade your martial soul in the future, you will no longer need to rely solely on immortal herbs to enhance your soul power."

"Similarly, your martial soul bloodline has been strengthened by the Nirvana Sutra, and the effect is already sufficient."

"In this way, we don't need to be too fixated on the properties of the immortal herbs. We should focus on accumulating medicinal power to improve our foundation and strengthen our foundation."

"Give me your hand."

Zhu Zhuqing didn't say anything, but simply raised her right hand and handed it over.

Su Cheng gently pinched her fingers, wrists, and forearms to assess her current physical strength and nodded to himself.

Her physical attributes are far superior to those of an average Soul Master, reaching a level comparable to a Soul Grandmaster.

Considering her cultivation level of 38, her physical foundation, while not particularly profound, was already sufficient.

It must be the benefit from absorbing the third spirit ring across the time limit.

Actually, for Zhu Zhuqing now, all kinds of neutral medicinal herbs, such as Qirong Tongtianju, Shuixian Yujigu, and Baban Xianlan, can have good effects. As long as she doesn't take herbs with relatively extreme properties, such as Jiguan Fenghuangkui or Dilong Jingua, there shouldn't be any problems.

But since the efficacy of the medicine is the most important factor, then naturally the more the better.

Generally, medicinal herbs cannot be taken multiple times, as the conflicting effects between different herbs can be fatal.

But in this place, the medicinal properties of two kinds of medicinal herbs can be combined.

Thinking of this, Su Cheng released his hand and looked at Zhu Zhuqing, "Time is limited, just follow my instructions."

Unlike him, Zhu Zhuqing's cultivation level is insufficient, her physique is much weaker, and she does not have a 100,000-year-old soul bone, so she cannot stay in the extreme spiritual energy impact near the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well for too long.

In just a short while, my body started to react.

It was only because of her strong will that she was able to remain calm.

"Do you see that big, octagonal white flower?" Su Cheng pointed.

Zhu Zhuqing followed his gaze and saw a beautiful white herb growing alone beside the Cold Extreme Yin Spring, with tiny, shimmering stamens in the center of its petals, like ice crystals.

It is the elixir of immortality, the eight-cornered ice grass, which possesses extreme cold and poison.

"Later, use a dagger to cut it off by the roots and quickly return to the hot spring. Remember, be quick; that thing is highly poisonous."

After saying that, he himself went to the other side of the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, to the location of the Blazing Yang Spring.

Here grows a plant that resembles a cabbage but is entirely fiery red; it is the celestial herb, the Fiery Apricot, which possesses top-grade fire poison.

Su Cheng took out the jade shovel he usually kept on hand from his soul tool and removed it.

Meanwhile, Zhu Zhuqing had also finished preparing and returned to the vicinity of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye.

Upon seeing this, Su Cheng immediately raised his hand and flung the fiery apricot blossom like a bolt of lightning, sending it flying to the ground in front of Zhu Zhuqing.

As the two immortal herbs drew closer, Zhu Zhuqing was surprised to find that the chilling aura that had emanated from the strange white flower, which had almost frozen her entire body, vanished instantly.

At this moment, a faint red light enveloped the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass, while a faint white mist enveloped the Fiery Apricot Blossom.

Their auras began to suppress and merge with each other.

She stared in astonishment at the strange sight before her.

"Hurry up and eat them all together, then keep your mind focused." At this moment, Zhu Zhuqing suddenly heard Su Cheng's voice.

After these two immortal herbs intersect, although they will be restrained by each other's aura, their effects will completely disappear after ten breaths.

But without a doubt, for someone like Zhu Zhuqing who knew nothing about the hidden story, this was a rather risky move.

Although they didn't know the effects of these two magical herbs, anyone could tell from the terrifying reaction they had just experienced when picking the Eight-Starred Ice Grass that both of them contained extraordinary poisons.

Let alone consuming them all at once, even just eating one of them would likely kill even a Title Douluo on the spot.

But she did not hesitate at all.

Upon hearing Su Cheng's voice, he didn't hesitate for a moment before picking up the two highly poisonous herbs and putting them into his mouth.

No matter how stubborn she was, Zhu Zhuqing knew very well in her heart that she had an extraordinary trust in Su Cheng.

Perhaps it was because of the twenty years they spent together in another world, or perhaps it was because of the regretful ending brought about by her self-righteous and arbitrary actions, or perhaps it was because of those strange emotions that had been brewing and fermenting invisibly.

All of this made her unwilling to hesitate any longer in such matters.

Although the two celestial ingredients are poisonous, after being countered by each other, they are no longer as domineering as before, and immediately turn into saliva and go down the throat upon entering the mouth.

In almost just three breaths, Zhu Zhuqing's body suddenly trembled violently.

Immediately afterwards, a layer of icy blue rose directly from beneath his feet, and in the blink of an eye, his entire body had turned completely blue, followed by a layer of red.

For a moment, blue and red light alternated on Zhu Zhuqing's body, which looked extremely strange.

However, under the impact of these two extreme energies, Zhu Zhuqing felt unbearable pain, as if her nerves were about to snap and explode.

Suddenly, a surge of soul power struck from behind.

"Su Cheng!"

The moment the thought flashed through her mind, her weak and completely uncontrollable body lurched forward and fell into the spring water in front of her, where ice and fire mingled.

Upon entering the spring, the two energies of ice and fire within his body immediately began to churn wildly, and he instantly fell into a coma.

The surface of the spring water within the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire returned to calm, the milky white and crimson hues clearly distinct. Water vapor still lingered in the air, and all was silent once more.

Su Cheng frowned and looked towards Zhu Zhuqing's current location. He spread out his Five Elements Domain to silently sense her situation. Seeing that everything was normal, his brows gradually relaxed.

Although she was still a little worried, given Zhu Zhuqing's current cultivation level and physical condition, she should be able to withstand the baptism of ice and fire from the spring after consuming two immortal herbs.

While Zhu Zhuqing continued to absorb the power of the immortal herbs through the Ice and Fire Hammer Refinement, Su Cheng turned and walked into the valley.

He planned to store all the mature herbs and the few immortal herbs into Dugu Bo's treasure pouch during this period.

Although I believe Zhu Zhuqing wouldn't go around spreading rumors, it's always better to be safe than sorry.

Moreover, there's no point in leaving those mature herbs in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well; it's better to use more spiritual energy to nourish the Blue Silver Emperor seedling and other immature rare treasures.

Just as Su Cheng and Zhu Zhuqing entered the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

Salas, the temple master of the Spirit Temple in Heaven Dou City, also brought a young man in black from Spirit City into the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

Although this person is not very old, it is difficult to tell the depth of his cultivation.

However, Salas's respectful attitude and youthful demeanor made it easy to tell that he must be of extraordinary birth and hold a high position, which made him someone no one dared to underestimate.

Besides the nominal visits and exchanges, the two also specifically requested to meet Su Cheng, the genius student from the second team.

Meng Shenji and the others were somewhat troubled after hearing the other party's request.

Su Cheng has always been a loner, and he rarely reports his departures from the school to the college, so few people know his whereabouts. Not to mention the teachers, even Ning Rongrong, who is closest to him, doesn't know much about him.

The only one who probably knows something about it is Dugu Bo.

But the leaders and teachers in these academies all knew what kind of person Dugu Bo was.

If you don't meet their standards, your status is irrelevant; these people wouldn't dare to bother you easily.

Besides, Meng Shenji and others have also had quite a few troubles lately.

At this moment, the group from Shrek Academy had just left. Not only did they leave, but they also took Qin Ming, the teacher in charge of the Royal Fighting Team, with them.

With the Soul Master Competition fast approaching, finding a high-level Soul Master capable of commanding the competition in the short term will not be easy.

Moreover, Qin Ming's existence is of extraordinary significance to both the academy and the Heaven Dou Empire.

Not long ago, this young Soul Master, who was only thirty-four years old, broke through to the Soul Emperor realm. If nothing unexpected happens, it will only be a matter of time before he becomes a Title Douluo. It can be said that the loss was quite heavy.

This matter also requires the Education Committee to report and explain to the Royal Family.

Seeing this, Qian Renxue, who had disguised herself as a young man using a soul bone, did not press the matter further. She left Salas to deal with the members of the teaching committee while she left to search the academy alone.

Although there are quite a few students at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, their numbers are still very small compared to its vast area.

As she walked along the road, Qian Renxue casually took out the white flower stained with specks of blood.

The acacia blossoms, a symbol of longing and heartbreak, floated silently on her fingertips, emitting a faint golden-red glow, understated yet magnificent.

After searching the second team's rest room without success, she wasn't in a hurry. Instead, she went to the first team's rest room to see if Su Cheng was there.

However, before she even reached the door, she heard two people talking inside.

"...Teacher Qin Ming has left the academy. We don't know who the academy will find to lead the team in the future. I hope their skill level won't be too low." The girl's voice was soft and charming, but her words seemed to carry a hint of sorrow.

"In my opinion, it wouldn't matter much who it is. Your team's strength is neither the best nor the worst; getting a decent ranking is fine." A slightly aged voice then rang out.

"Grandpa, how can you say that? Even disregarding the competition results, I can't abandon my training!"

"That's true." The old man agreed. "Why don't you join the second team? Su Cheng is quite capable; he knows more than I do. If you train with him, your talent will definitely not go to waste. If I ask, he'll give me face."

Then, as if remembering something, he quickly changed his mind, saying, "Let's not. That kid is indeed a bit wicked, but the girls with him are no pushovers either. It might be dangerous for you to go. Today, he ran off with another girl. That girl is only thirteen years old but already has cultivation levels close to the Soul Sect level. I wonder how she cultivated like that."

The voice just fell.

Suddenly, the sound of a door being pushed open came from outside the lounge.

Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan turned around at the same time and saw a handsome young man in black with an extraordinary temperament walk into the lounge.

A blatantly fake smile played on his lips as he bowed respectfully to Dugu Bo, saying, "Junior Ling Yuan of the Spirit Hall greets Your Excellency Poison Douluo."

"The Spirit Hall?" After hearing the other party introduce himself, Dugu Bo's expression changed from indifference and disgust to doubt and surprise.

They were puzzled by the other party's intentions, and even more surprised by the other party's strength.

He, a peak level 95 Douluo, was unable to sense the cultivation level of the young man in front of him.

Moreover, the other party entered silently, which, while partly due to his lack of vigilance, should have been enough for him to have noticed it based on his subconscious reaction.

This person is quite extraordinary.

Besides his strength, the fact that the other party introduced himself also stirred something within him.

This person is actually from the Spirit Hall. Judging from his age, strength, and aura, he should not be an ordinary person. He is probably a core figure of the younger generation in the Spirit Hall.

Since Su Cheng has already made up his mind to join that place in the future, and I am also somewhat interested, it is naturally not good to offend him.

Thinking of this, Dugu Bo's expression softened, and he nodded, saying, "No need for formalities. What brings you here?"

The young man stood tall and looked directly at Dugu Bo.

His voice was flat, revealing no emotional fluctuations.

"I overheard you mention Su Cheng's name earlier, senior. Are you referring to Su Cheng, the captain of the Royal Fighting Team Two?"

"Uh-huh?"

Just as Dugu Bo was about to nod in agreement, he suddenly remembered the woman who had a close relationship with Su Cheng.

If I remember correctly, Su Cheng once said that the woman held a high position in the Spirit Hall, and even the current Pope had to be somewhat wary of her.

The person in front of me seems to care so much about Su Cheng; perhaps he came at that person's behest to find out what's going on.

I wonder how many people heard what I just said, and who knows if there will be any misunderstandings? In any case, it's not appropriate for the other party to know.

How Su Cheng handles his relationship problems is his own business, but obviously it shouldn't be revealed from his own mouth.

Thinking of this, Dugu Bo paused for a moment, then quickly corrected himself, "You misheard me. I didn't say Su Cheng, I said a teacher in the academy."

Qian Renxue raised an eyebrow upon hearing this.

Anger surged within him, and he immediately realized that there was definitely something wrong.

It would have been better if Dugu Bo hadn't said that; by saying it, he was only making things worse!

Could it be that she's a fool?

Dugu Bo himself hadn't thought that much about it, and he certainly hadn't imagined that the person in front of him would be the woman he had met that day.

Looking at the young man that Qian Renxue was impersonating, he remained calm and composed.

"If you're looking for Su Cheng, you've come to the wrong person. I do know him somewhat, but I don't know where he is. That kid is always elusive; hardly anyone in the academy knows his whereabouts."
