Chapter 360 The Charming and Elegant Ninth Sister
"Elder Ju, please put these jade bottles and boxes away first, lest the medicinal properties of the herbs and plants inside be lost and they lose their activity."
With a faint smile on his face, Ye Qifeng pointed to the jade bottles and boxes piled on the stone table and gently offered a suggestion.
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Yue Guan came to her senses, faced Ye Qifeng, placed her right fist on her left chest, bowed deeply, and her peach blossom eyes were filled with gratitude.
"Elder Ju, there's no need for thanks."
Ye Qifeng gently waved his hand and helped him up:
"These are just a small token of our appreciation, nothing compared to Elder Ju's life-saving grace."
"If Elder Ju hadn't found me back then and brought me back to Wuhun City with my teacher, I would probably be dead by now, and I wouldn't be where I am today."
"Even if you survive by sheer luck, if you fall into the hands of an evil soul master, even if you are not drained dry by the evil soul master, you may still be used as a sacrifice in the evil soul master's blood sacrifice ritual."
"So, Elder Ju, there's no need to thank me. Just accept it."
Upon hearing this, Yue Guan's eyes flickered slightly, seemingly surprised and astonished that Ye Qifeng knew about this matter and had even come all the way to deliver gifts to express his gratitude.
To be honest, rescuing Ye Qifeng was just a matter of chance and a casual act; even he himself had almost forgotten about it.
However, as Ye Qifeng said, besides Yue Guan himself, the one who brought him back to Wuhun City back then was the Holy Maiden, who is now the Pope Bibi Dong.
It must have been Pope Bibidon who told him.
Yue Guan made this guess.
Who could have imagined that the little baby back then was actually a genius with extraordinary talent, and a terrifying prodigy with innate level 20 soul power and twin god-level martial souls?
After his martial spirit awakened, he was directly appointed as the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall.
The Holy Son who has grown up is so sensible, so reasonable, and so grateful.
At this moment, Yue Guan's impression of Ye Qifeng was better than ever before.
"In that case, I'll gladly accept!"
Yue Guan gave Ye Qifeng a deep look, then lightly waved her hand, collecting all the jade bottles and boxes, but didn't forget to emphasize seriously:
"If Your Highness ever needs anything in the future, please feel free to give the order to Yue Guan. Yue Guan will go through fire and water without hesitation."
Upon hearing this, Ye Qifeng did not refuse and nodded slightly: "Okay."
"Your Highness, may I ask where you obtained this extraordinary chrysanthemum, along with the seeds of these top-grade and high-quality medicinal herbs?"
At this moment, Yue Guan suddenly asked somewhat embarrassedly.
"These were picked from the herb garden of Poison Douluo Dugu Bo."
Ye Qifeng offered a brief explanation.
"What? You got it from the old poison master's herb garden?"
Yue Guan was stunned for a moment, then his eyes widened, his face full of astonishment, as if he found it very unbelievable.
That's right.
Ye Qifeng explained, "Dugu Bo's herb garden is located deep within the Sunset Forest. It is a treasure basin formed later in life, called the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye."
"The spiritual energy there is extremely rich, nurturing countless rare and precious herbs. It is a paradise for plants. The Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum in your hand and those top-quality medicinal herbs come from there."
"A treasure basin with both ice and fire elements?"
Yue Guan's eyes flashed with a sharp light; he was extremely interested in this place that could nurture rare and precious materials.
If he could possess such a treasure land, wouldn't he be able to cultivate all the exotic flowers and plants he collected at will?
and many more.
Suddenly, he noticed a problem.
This Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire is the old poison master's herb garden? That bastard actually managed to take it over? Damn it!
Wait a minute, how did His Highness manage to get his hands on the herbs inside?
Could it be that His Highness the Holy Son snatched away the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire?
Thinking of this, Yue Guan immediately asked about these doubts.
Ye Qifeng then told Yue Guan the whole story.
This includes trading the Poison Sutra for the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eyes and gifting them with celestial herbs to subdue Dugu Bo.
Incidentally, he also told Yue Guan in detail that their grudges and feuds were caused by someone framing them.
After hearing what Ye Qifeng said, Yue Guan was immediately dumbfounded.
He was shocked by Ye Qifeng's subjugation of Dugu Bo, but he couldn't help but laugh and mock Dugu Bo for being unaware of his possession of a treasure land and numerous immortal herbs. He was also furious that he had been used and made enemies with Dugu Bo in the past.
A long time passed.
Yue Guan snapped out of her daze, composed herself, and turned to Ye Qifeng, awkwardly twisting her body and rubbing her hands, her eyes filled with expectant inquiry:
"Your Highness, could you please tell me the location of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well? I would like to see what kind of magical treasure land it is that can nurture such rare and precious natural materials as immortal herbs."
"sure."
Ye Qifeng smiled slightly and nodded affirmatively:
"I knew Elder Ju would definitely be interested in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, so I made preparations in advance."
As he spoke, he immediately pulled out a roll of map, on which the exact locations of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eyes were marked.
As he handed it to Yue Guan, he said:
"Elder Ju, if you go to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, you are very likely to encounter Dugu Bo."
"Although the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire now belongs to me and to the Spirit Hall, it was ultimately obtained from Dugu Bo."
"Furthermore, because of his cultivation technique and his own poisonous nature, I allowed him to freely enter and exit the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, where he could cultivate and continue to use it as his herb garden to cultivate medicinal herbs."
"Furthermore, Dugu Bo has already submitted to me. Although he has not joined the Spirit Hall, he is now considered one of our Spirit Hall members. Elder Ju, if you ever encounter Dugu Bo in the future and wish to spar with him, remember to keep your distance and do not damage the natural environment of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well."
"Yes, Your Highness, Yue Guan will remember this matter."
Upon receiving the scroll, Yue Guan eagerly opened it and memorized the exact location of the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire.
"Oh, right."
At this moment, Ye Qifeng added:
"After a while, I will ask the Grand Elder to send a guardian from the Hall of Offerings to oversee the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye, so as to prevent any villains from coveting the herbs inside."
"This candidate could be the Second Elder, Golden Crocodile Douluo."
"What? A second honorific?"
Yue Guan was immediately startled. Her delicate, woman-like body trembled involuntarily, and she gasped sharply.
In the entire Spirit Hall, if you were to ask who Yue Guan fears the most, it would undoubtedly be the Second Elder, Golden Crocodile Douluo.
Back then, the former Pope Qian Xunji led a team to hunt down the 100,000-year-old transformed soul beast, Blue Silver Emperor A Yin. The Second Elder's son, Elder Jin Ming, was killed on the spot by Tang Hao's Clear Sky Hammer.
Yue Guan, Gui Mei, and Gui Bao were almost publicly executed by the enraged Second Elder, Golden Crocodile Douluo, because of this.
Yue Guan harbored deep psychological trauma regarding the Second Elder, Golden Crocodile Douluo; he couldn't help but shudder at the mere mention of Golden Crocodile's name.
If it were the Second Elder, Golden Crocodile Douluo, to oversee the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye...
Then he'll have to think carefully about whether he still wants to go and see it.
After all, one wrong move could very well cost you your life.
Thinking of this, Yue Guan's face was filled with conflict, fear, and terror.
Seeing Yue Guan's changing expression, Ye Qifeng clearly sensed his emotions and knew what he was afraid of.
So she smiled faintly and softly comforted him:
"Elder Ju, there is no need to worry about the Second Elder."
"I know a little about the conflict between Elder Ju and the Second Elder. What happened back then was not Elder Ju's fault. The Second Elder is a reasonable and magnanimous person. I'm afraid he has already let bygones be bygones."
"I will discuss Elder Ju's matter with the Second Elder in detail. If Elder Ju wishes to go to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, he can go at any time. He will not make things difficult for you."
Yue Guan's eyes lit up, and she bowed gratefully.
"Then I'll have to trouble Your Highness!"
"You're welcome."
Night Seven Wind waved his hand.
"Elder Ju, I still need to go to the Elder Hall, so I'll take my leave now."
Immediately afterwards, he bid farewell to Yue Guan.
"Elder Ju, there's no need to send it. It would be best if Elder Ju consumed this rare and precious Chrysanthemum as soon as possible. I believe someone will come to protect Elder Ju."
Before leaving, Ye Qifeng pointed to the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum in Yue Guan's hand and gave Yue Guan a meaningful look, indicating the presence of someone in the shadows.
After Ye Qifeng left.
Yue Guan withdrew her gaze, her eyes suddenly turning melancholic as she looked towards a certain spot in the shadows:
"You bastard, get out here now!"
The voice just fell.
A wisp of mist swiftly drifted into the pavilion.
The ghostly figure, shrouded in a black robe, gradually solidified in the eerie mist, emanating a cold, hoarse voice:
"I did this to give you a surprise, Chrysanthemum."
"A surprise? That's all? It's not even a fraction as good as His Highness the Holy Son."
Yue Guan glanced at him sideways, her eyes full of disdain.
"Ahem, the surprise I was referring to was the surprise His Highness the Holy Son gave you."
Ghost coughed twice, then gave an awkward laugh.
"That was a surprise from His Highness the Holy Son, what's it to you?"
Yue Guan rolled her eyes, speechless.
"Alright, hurry up and take the Qirong Tongtianju, I'll protect you."
The ghost was speechless for a moment, then quickly changed the subject:
"As long as you eat it, you can break through the bottleneck and become a level 96 Super Douluo, just like me."
"Hmph, at least you still have some conscience."
Yue Guan snorted coldly and immediately sat cross-legged.
According to the family's traditional instructions, one should first eat the pistil of the Tongtian flower, and then pluck the petals and eat them one by one.
Then, he meditated to refine the medicinal power.
…………
The Elders' Hall is located not far from the Moon Pass Courtyard.
It only took a few minutes to walk to the Elder Hall.
He was preparing to visit his Ninth Sister, Nihuang, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.
Although they are both elders of the Spirit Hall, Nihuang is different from Yueguan and Guimei; she needs to reside permanently in the Elder Hall.
Yue Guan and Gui Mei both serve as elders of the Papal Palace, and their duties are limited to assisting the Pope in ruling the Spirit Hall and handling government affairs.
As for Nihuang, her identity is merely that of an elder in the Elder Hall. In addition to assisting the Papal Palace in handling political affairs, she must also be ready at any time to lead the law enforcement team out to carry out missions.
After all, the primary responsibility of the Spirit Hall is to suppress evil spirits and maintain order in the world of spirit masters.
Once an evil spirit master is discovered, or a spirit master falls into depravity and commits a crime, the Spirit Hall must dispatch an enforcement team to capture, suppress, and exterminate them.
Nihuang is now a level 92 Title Douluo.
He is ranked on the same level as Ghost Leopard Douluo Ghost Leopard, Mad Lion Douluo Mad Lion, Serpent Spear Douluo She Long, and Porcupine Douluo Ci Xue.
It is also the lowest level among the many elders in the Elder Hall.
They were not only subject to the command of the Papal Palace, but also to the control of the Sanctuary. If the Sanctuary had a task, they had to carry it out, and it was given priority.
For example, the Serpent Spear Douluo She Long and the Porcupine Douluo Ci Xue were personally assigned by the Hall of Worship to protect Qian Renxue in carrying out her plan to seize the country in the Heaven Dou Empire.
Not long after.
Ye Qifeng arrived at Nihuang's private room and soon met Nihuang.
The elders of the Spirit Hall each have their own exclusive living, working, and cultivation space in the Elder Hall.
At this moment, Nihuang was cultivating.
Sensing Ye Qifeng's arrival, she immediately stopped meditating, exited her cultivation state, opened the door, and affectionately pulled Ye Qifeng into her room.
Princess Nihuang was tall and slender, about the same height as Pope Bibi Dong.
Although she was much older than Pope Bibi Dong, and even comparable to Yue Guan and Gui Mei, she still looked young, appearing to be in her early twenties.
Nihuang is extremely beautiful.
With fair skin, an oval face, a straight nose, and a pair of beautiful, alluring eyes, paired with short, light purple hair that reaches her ears, she exudes a unique beauty that blends competence and elegance.
Her figure is also excellent.
She wore a soft leather bodysuit that accentuated her figure, with cutouts on the shoulders and chest, revealing her delicate shoulders and snow-white skin.
Beneath her rounded hips encased in a leather jacket, her long, straight legs were clad in high-heeled leather boots, making her look like a captivating and alluring mature woman.
Every move she made, her entire being, seemed to exude a unique, languid charm and elegance.
Upon seeing Ninth Sister Nihuang again, Ye Qifeng's gaze remained fixed on her, never wavering.
Holding Nihuang's hand affectionately, Ye Qifeng couldn't help but smile warmly.
The feeling that Ninth Sister Nihuang gave Ye Qifeng was different from that of any other person.
Nihuang truly treated him like a younger brother; it was pure and open, without any ulterior motives, making her even more like an older sister than Liu Erlong.
In their original destiny.
Princess Nihuang's ending is not good; she will die a terrible death.
When Bibi Dong led six Title Douluos to hunt down the two licking beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest—the Azure Bull Python Daming and the Titan Giant Ape Erming.
Because they wanted to be the first to take credit and demonstrate their value.
Caught completely off guard, during the use of his ninth soul skill, he was controlled by the domains of the two exhausted licking beasts—the "Slow Domain" and the "Gravity Control Domain"—and was like a puppet, completely losing his balance and control, unable even to escape.
Ultimately, it was caught in a double attack by the skills unleashed by the two licking beasts—"Azure Annihilation Thunder" and "Titan Superstar"—and died with its abdomen pierced through.
As a rare female Title Douluo in the Spirit Hall, it was truly unexpected and lamentable that she died at the hands of two licking beasts in such a tragic way.
Looking at Nihuang's stunning figure, Ye Qifeng silently made a decision: he would never allow such a fate to befall her.
She absolutely cannot die!
It's not just that Ninth Sister Nihuang can't die.
Other titled Douluo such as Ghost Leopard Douluo, Demon Bear Douluo, Serpent Spear Douluo She Long, and Porcupine Douluo Ci Xue, as well as those belonging to the Spirit Hall, must not die.
In short, as long as Ye Qifeng is alive, not a single one of the Title Douluo of the Spirit Hall can die.
After all, protecting our Spirit Hall is our inescapable duty.
This is not just empty talk or a casual slogan.
He will put it into practice.
Having obtained so many rare and precious medicinal herbs, we should naturally use them to enhance the combat strength of our Spirit Hall.
Let's first enhance the combat power of Ninth Sister Nihuang.
As for the other titled Douluo, the suitable immortal herbs for them have been given to their teacher, Bibi Dong.
Anyone who wants it can ask the teacher.
As for whether he could get his hands on it or what price he would have to pay, he didn't care that much.
After all, one is obligated to those who pay their bills.
To gain something, you have to give something in return.
The Spirit Hall is not a charity, and Teacher Bibi Dong is not someone who is easy to manipulate or manipulate.
To obtain rare medicinal herbs from her, one must at least offer their loyalty, obey her orders, and perform their duties diligently.
No underhanded tactics or sabotage allowed.
To achieve the great cause of unifying the Douluo Continent, the Spirit Hall must be of one mind, at least at the higher levels.
The celestial herbs were a bargaining chip and an opportunity that Ye Qifeng prepared for Bibi Dong to win people's hearts.
