"Hmm! Ghost, I haven't been here for the past two days, is everything alright?" Bibi Dong asked Ghost Douluo directly.
"No, Your Holiness." Ghost Douluo was indeed less talkative than Chrysanthemum Douluo.
"Teacher! I'm going back to my room to sleep now, ah!" Duan Yufan said, feeling sleepy.
"Go ahead! I'll have Nana and the others gather at the Papal Palace tomorrow." Bibi Dong smiled, looking at the somewhat sleepy Duan Yufan.
"Your Holiness, we shall take our leave as well." Chrysanthemum Douluo hooked his arm around Ghost Douluo and led him back to his own courtyard.
"Old Ghost! Come here, let me show you a good treasure." Chrysanthemum Douluo said mysteriously to Ghost Douluo.
"What's all this about, Old Guan?" Ghost Douluo said, indicating he had never seen Chrysanthemum Douluo like this before.
"Guess what level my soul power is!" Chrysanthemum Douluo was still keeping everyone in suspense.
"Isn't that just like me!" Ghost Douluo said matter-of-factly.
"Take another look!" Chrysanthemum Douluo released a bit of his soul power.
"Huh! How come I leveled up after just one trip out? What happened?!" Ghost Douluo exclaimed in surprise.
"Hehe, Old Ghost, you didn't expect that, did you?" Chrysanthemum Douluo chuckled.
"Old Guan, did you use some forbidden technique?" Ghost Douluo asked Chrysanthemum Douluo with a serious expression.
"Old Ghost! Don't worry, how could I do that? This time it was all thanks to the Pope and the Holy Son. I only got a little bit of luck and found an opportunity." Seeing Ghost Douluo's serious face, Chrysanthemum Douluo immediately explained.
"What is it? Tell me now." Ghost Douluo was relieved. Seeing that Chrysanthemum Douluo still wouldn't tell him, he gave Chrysanthemum Douluo a reassuring glare.
"Alright, alright! Remember I told you about the immortal herb?"
"I remember! You yourself said that your martial soul is a celestial herb."
"Haha, we found a wonderful treasure land full of immortal herbs on this trip. I found a rare and precious Chrysanthemum Immortal Herb in it. After eating it, my soul power increased, and the strength of my martial soul attack increased by at least half." Chrysanthemum Douluo revealed the source.
"Congratulations, Lao Guan!" Ghost Douluo was genuinely happy for Chrysanthemum Douluo's improved strength.
"Old Ghost! Now that we've found the immortal herb, we can't forget you. Although its quality might be a little inferior to mine, it is undoubtedly the most suitable immortal herb for you, the Three-Leaf Ghost Yin Grass." Chrysanthemum Douluo took out the immortal herb he had prepared for Ghost Douluo.
The roots and stems of the three-leafed ghost grass are dark and translucent, and its three leaves exude a cold aura. It is a magical herb with one root and three leaves.
"How amazing! Although I've heard you describe the wonders of immortal herbs, seeing it with my own eyes is still a bit hard to believe." Ghost Douluo looked at the Three-Leaf Ghost Yin Grass and sensed its aura; its attributes were almost identical to his own.
"Old Ghost, hurry up and absorb the properties of the immortal herb. I'll protect you," Chrysanthemum Douluo urged Ghost Douluo.
"Okay!" Ghost Douluo took it and immediately put it in his mouth and swallowed it without any doubt.
One hour, two hours. The original Ghost Douluo's attribute was that he was elusive and could come and go without a trace. Now that he had absorbed the Three-Leaf Ghost Yin Grass...
Ghost Douluo is even more mysterious. It's like he's standing right in front of you, looking at you, but you can't pinpoint his location. He's elusive and hard to figure out.
"Old Ghost! It seems this immortal herb is quite effective for you. How is it? How much has your strength increased?" Chrysanthemum Douluo asked hurriedly as he saw Ghost Douluo open his eyes.
"That's really great. It makes my Martial Soul Ghost Shadow immune to half of physical attacks, and my Soul Power has also increased to level 96," Ghost Douluo exclaimed.
"Good, good! I wonder if our Spirit Fusion Skill, the Polar Forbidden Domain, can pose a threat to the Second Elder, Golden Crocodile." Chrysanthemum Douluo said happily, without mentioning that it was against Grand Elder Qian Daoliu.
Chrysanthemum Douluo was very self-aware. He knew that even two level 98 Title Douluos might not be able to defeat Grand Elder Qian Daoliu.
"It's a 50/50 chance! The Second Elder has a 100,000-year soul ring." Ghost Douluo was still not confident that he could completely trap the Second Elder, Golden Crocodile, but he was certain that he could affect the Second Elder's combat power.
"Old ghost! What a pity! We obtained the immortal herb too late. We're too old. We don't know if we'll be able to reach the level of Grand Elder in the remaining time." Chrysanthemum Douluo sighed.
Although Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo appear to be in their forties, they are actually nearly seventy years old.
"Give it a try! We'll see how far we can go," Ghost Douluo comforted him.
Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo talked until late before parting ways and returning to their courtyards.
The next day, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo waited for Bibi Dong's arrival in the Papal Palace.
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Holiness the Pope!" Ghost Douluo immediately knelt down on one knee to express his gratitude upon seeing Bibi Dong.
"Oh! Did you eat the immortal herb? How much has your strength increased?" Bibi Dong immediately realized what Ghost Douluo had done.
"Your Holiness, I have leveled up and am now a Level 96 Super Douluo, just like Yue Guan," Ghost Douluo replied truthfully.
"Not bad! I'm very happy that you two can improve your strength at the same time. You should know that I trust you two more than the other elders. Alright, Ghost, go and call Nana, Xie Yue, and Yan here." Bibi Dong said calmly, and then instructed Ghost Douluo.
"Yes, Your Holiness the Pope!"
After speaking, Ghost Douluo disappeared from the spot and headed towards the Martial Soul Advanced Academy.
Thirty-five distributions of immortal herbs
"Yue Guan! Go and wake Xiao Fan up." Bibi Dong watched Ghost Douluo leave, then instructed Chrysanthemum Douluo.
"Yes, Your Holiness!"
"No need, teacher, I'm here." At this moment, Duan Yufan walked into the Papal Palace.
"How strange! Why are you up so early today!" Bibi Dong was taken aback. Usually, Chrysanthemum Douluo would call Duan Yufan.
"Teacher, this is a training exercise, so we need to work hard and break the habit of sleeping in. What if we oversleep during the training and get killed without even knowing it?" Duan Yufan was mainly waking up early today because he went to bed too early last night.
"It's good that you know it yourself. Although you have a resurrection skill, it can only be used once a year. If you are careless during the training, you won't even survive a day." Bibi Dong rarely scolded Duan Yu Fan. Bibi Dong sighed that her disciple was too outstanding, and she, as a teacher, had no sense of accomplishment.
"Understood, teacher," Duan Yufan replied earnestly.
"Hmm." Bibi Dong finally felt a bit like a teacher.
"Xiao Fan, let's begin!" Bibi Dong suddenly said.
“Okay, teacher.” Duan Yufan understood what Bibi Dong meant.
"First Soul Skill, Healing Prayer." It turns out that ever since Bibi Dong confessed her true feelings that day, Duan Yu Fan has been clearing away Bibi Dong's negative energy every day.
Chrysanthemum Douluo was used to it. Although he didn't know what the Pope and the Holy Son were up to, he didn't ask any further questions.
However, Bibi Dong's negative influence is difficult to remove, accumulating little by little every day. No wonder the Divine Trial has a ten-year time limit. Fortunately, after reaching level 40, Duan Yufan's first soul skill can be released forty times. Of course, it seems to be effective against Bibi Dong's ability to replenish her own soul power by releasing soul skills, which Duan Yufan is very eager for.
Duan Yufan unleashed his first soul skill on Bibi Dong time and time again. He didn't know about his other skills, but the villager incident made him unleash his first soul skill to an extraordinary level, once every few seconds.
So it didn't take long to complete today's goal.
"Alright, teacher," Duan Yufan said, having run out of uses.
"That felt so good! Xiao Fan, once the training begins, just use your first soul skill 20 times a day. After all, if Nana and the others need healing, they'll need your help." Bibi Dong opened her beautiful eyes, still savoring the experience, and instructed Duan Yu Fan.
"I hope the teacher won't get addicted!" Duan Yufan thought to himself as he noticed a rare expression on Bibi Dong's face.
"Okay, teacher!"
"Teacher! Now you can tell us where we're going for our training!" Duan Yufan asked, seizing the opportunity.
"It's not a big place, really. It's called Death Valley. You guys will go to Death Valley." Bibi Dong looked at Duan Yu Fan and slowly told him about the training location.
"Uh! Death Valley?" Duan Yufan was at a loss for words. He didn't know this place and thought it was the Killing City.
"Death Valley? Uh, Elder Ghost, is it too late for me to go back to the academy now?" Xie Yue's surprised voice came from outside.
“That’s right, Elder Ghost, is it too late for us to go back to the academy now?” Yan asked in the exact same tone.
"What do you all think!" Ghost Douluo's voice also rang out.
"What's wrong with you two? Why are you so afraid of the name Death Valley?" Hu Liena's voice came from behind.
"Aren't you coming in? How long are you going to stay at the door?" Chrysanthemum Douluo's words carried outside.
"Teacher, junior brother." Hu Liena, clearly unaware of Death Valley, was the first to happily enter the Papal Palace.
Duan Yufan was standing a little in front of where Bibi Dong was sitting. He then saw Xie Yue and Yan with slightly bitter smiles. From their expressions, Duan Yufan knew that Death Valley was probably a dangerous place.
"Greetings, Your Holiness the Pope, Holy Son, Elder Ju." Xie Yue and Yan, unlike Hu Liena, were not as composed, offering standard greetings and bows.
"I called the three of you here today because there is a rare and precious herb for you to eat, called Immortal Herb. It can greatly enhance your soul power and martial soul, and help your subsequent cultivation speed. Xiao Fan, give it to the three of them," Bibi Dong said calmly.
"Yes, teacher." Duan Yufan stepped down and came to Hu Liena and the others.
"Senior Sister Nana, Brother Xieyue, and Brother Yan, look." Duan Yufan took out the immortal herbs he had prepared for the three of them.
"Senior Sister Nana, this pale red acacia blossom is yours, take it." Duan Yufan gave it to Hu Liena first.
"Brother Xieyue, this is the Black Jade Divine Bamboo, for you." (The second Xieyue.)
"Brother Yan, this is your Phoenix Sunflower, the top-grade immortal herb among fire-attribute herbs."
Duan Yufan introduced the immortal herbs to the three of them one by one, and then explained how to use them.
"Brother Xieyue, the way you use your Black Jade Divine Bamboo is the same as absorbing a Soul Ring. Just absorb the energy inside and add it to your Martial Soul."
"Brother Yan, you can just swallow your Phoenix Sunflower directly, and then refine the fire attribute it contains to help purify the fire attribute of your martial soul."
"Senior Sister Nana, as for your Love-Sickness Heartbreak Red, it's a bit special. This immortal herb is known as the King of Flowers. It can only be plucked from the stone by dripping blood to recognize its owner. The method of recognition is that you must think of your beloved in your heart with utmost sincerity and drip a drop of blood onto the petals. If you succeed, the Love-Sickness Heartbreak Red will automatically fall off the stone."
"Senior Sister Nana, do you want this flower? If not, I've also prepared another immortal herb for you." Duan Yufan solemnly introduced the Acacia Heartbreak Red to Hu Liena.
"Uh! Xiao Fan, is it really necessary to do it this way?" Hu Liena's face started to flush after hearing Duan Yufan's explanation.
“Yes, Senior Sister.” Duan Yufan nodded.
"Okay, I'll give it a try." Hu Liena held the Acacia Heartbreak Red in her hands, closed her eyes, and began to meditate.
Xie Yue and Yan were also very curious and came over to watch Hu Liena's method of recognizing her as her master.
Hu Liena pondered for a few minutes, then bit her finger and squeezed out a drop of blood onto the petals of the Acacia Heartbreak Red. The Acacia Heartbreak Red immediately emitted a bright red light, enveloping Hu Liena's entire body. A moment later, the stone fell, and the Acacia Heartbreak Red glowed red on Hu Liena.
"This...it's a success? Elder Ju, did Senior Sister successfully recognize her master?" Duan Yu Fan asked Ju Douluo uncertainly.
“That’s right, the Acacia Heartbreak Red has recognized the Holy Maiden as its master.” As soon as Chrysanthemum Douluo finished speaking, the red light receded and focused on Hu Liena.
"Senior sister, you actually have someone you love? Who is it?" Duan Yufan asked Hu Liena with a curious look, while Xie Yue and Yan also looked at Hu Liena with expectant expressions.
Hu Liena blushed again at Duan Yufan's question and didn't say anything. She just kept looking at the Acacia Heartbreak Red, lost in thought.
When Bibi Dong heard Duan Yufan's question, she glanced at him but didn't say anything.
"Hmm, eight years old, it's normal that she doesn't understand," Bibi Dong thought to herself.
"Uh! Okay." Duan Yufan realized he might have asked something stupid.
"Senior Sister Nana, hurry up and eat it. This Acacia Heartbreak Red Flower can give you at least a 10-level increase in soul power," Duan Yufan said quickly.
"Um! Xiao Fan, can I keep this one? Don't you still have some immortal herbs? Can you give me another one?" Hu Liena put the Acacia Heartbreak Red back into her body without eating it.
