Chapter 89: Bibi Dong Retreats, the Miraculous Use of Lingxue Pill

This moment was one of the most frustrating in Bibi Dong's life; the last time was when she was hurt by Qian Xunji.

The four Spirit Beasts were all of an extremely formidable kind; basically, it would take at least two Title Douluo combined with several Spirit Douluo to deal with just one.

To deal with these four 100,000-year Spirit Beasts simultaneously would require at least eight Title Douluo, and they couldn't be weak ones—they would generally need to be at the level of the Offering Hall's Consecrated.

Seeing Bibi Dong hesitate, Lingxu spoke up, intentionally saying, "Your Excellency Pope, having come such a long way, would you like to come in for a cup of tea before leaving?"

The four Spirit Beasts had reversed the situation, and Bibi Dong's heart was filled with a complex mix of emotions.

Since three or four years ago, she had felt that Lingxu would surely become a major threat to her in the future, but she hadn't expected it to come so quickly, or that he could actually make four powerful Spirit Beasts submit.

On top of that, he could obtain the support of Qian Daoliu; with all these added together, she no longer held an absolute advantage in high-end combat power.

Even 99-level soul power seemed insufficient; only the path of becoming a god could salvage this.

It was almost impossible to resolve the enmity with Lingxu, even with Qian Renxue, and it was even less likely since Qian Renxue did not support her.

Seeing Lingxu speak this way, Qian Renxue followed up, saying, "Brother Lingxu, with them coming like this, do they still want to drink tea?"

"Bibi Dong, leave!" Qian Renxue said with a calm expression.

If Bibi Dong hadn't insisted on killing Lingxu back then, Qian Renxue's attitude toward her might have been better, but now she was already addressing Bibi Dong by her name.

One must know that in the original story, no matter how much Qian Renxue resented Bibi Dong, she would at least call her 'sister'.

Hearing Qian Renxue say such things, Bibi Dong was truly heartbroken.

It was as if she had lost something most precious at this moment; she hadn't experienced such heartache in over a decade.

Even though she had already completed a portion of the Rakshasa God Exam, she was still affected by these emotions at times, though she hadn't shown it in front of Lingxu and Qian Renxue.

Having left just like that without even fighting, the several Title Douluo beside Bibi Dong were somewhat confused.

Bibi Dong frowned slightly and said, "Let's go!"

Chrysanthemum Douluo said, "Your Excellency, are we just leaving like this?"

Everyone felt a sense of unwillingness; they had come from so far away to hunt 100,000-year Spirit Beasts, only for it to end before it even began.

Bibi Dong said coldly, "Do I need to repeat my order?"

Turning around, Bibi Dong prepared to leave, her mind already on her next plan.

Seizing the entire Douluo Continent was her strategy; looking at it this way, it would be very easy for Qian Renxue to seize the Heaven Dou Empire in the future.

Then I can shift my focus toward the Star Luo Empire.

Entering the Killing Array, Bibi Dong activated the God Slayer Domain, and soon led her subordinates out of the various arrays of the Lingxue Sacred Land.

"Brother Lingxu, is that a domain? She was actually able to bypass the Lingxue Sacred Land's Killing Array," Qian Renxue asked in confusion.

Lingxu said, "Xue'er, that is the God Slayer Domain; it should have been obtained from Slaughter City."

Speaking of this God Slayer Domain, Lingxu also wanted to obtain it.

But to achieve the Asura God Position, obtaining the God Slayer Domain was only one part; one must obtain the Asura Sword, and that sword was with Tang Chen.

Tang Chen was currently the Slaughter King, so for Lingxu, this was also a part of his future plan; it was just a matter of when he would go.

Currently, his soul power was at level 59; it wasn't impossible to go with his current combat power, but it was still too early.

After all, without a God Slayer to lead the way, the Slaughter King would certainly use various means to hinder his hundred victories.

Qian Renxue also knew of Slaughter City and said, "So it was that place. No wonder she was able to improve so much; it turns out she walked out of that place. The Spirit Hall sends hundreds or thousands of fallen Spirit Masters into exile there every year."

Lingxu knew this as well.

Most of the Spirit Masters in Slaughter City did not enter on their own.

Rather, they were sent in by the Spirit Hall. If awakening martial souls for commoners was the Spirit Hall's benefit to the people, then capturing these wicked Spirit Masters was the Spirit Hall's contribution to the entire world.

Capturing heinous Spirit Masters and then exiling them to Slaughter City was a task Ling Bufan and Luo Xingyue often performed.

For example, that Zhao Wuji; the reason the Spirit Hall captured him was because he was originally a man of extreme evil, and the sins on his hands were not small.

The original story also explained this; otherwise, why would the Spirit Hall want to capture him?

The reason they didn't capture him again after he escaped was, firstly, because the team led by Qian Xunji suffered heavy losses in the great battle against Tang San, and many Spirit Douluo died as a result.

Secondly, he went into hiding; this lasted over twenty years, and by the time he reappeared, the Spirit Hall no longer bothered with him.

Otherwise, he would have long since been sent into Slaughter City.

It was only with the Spirit Hall capturing wicked Spirit Masters that this continent could remain peaceful; this contribution was far better than that of the two great empires.

Just for this point alone, the Spirit Hall had a necessity to exist.

Lingxu looked at the four guardian Spirit Beasts behind him and said, "Return to your positions."

The four Spirit Beasts looked somewhat disappointed; they hadn't expected the opponent to retreat without a fight. In fact, Lingxu also wanted to dampen Bibi Dong's arrogance, but he hadn't expected Bibi Dong to be so rational at this moment.

At this time, above the Lingxue Sacred Land, Qian Daoliu watched the four guardian Spirit Beasts and the departing Bibi Dong.

Qian Daoliu muttered to himself, "No wonder there is such confidence; it turns out there are these four powerful Spirit Beasts. My worries were completely unnecessary; the Lingxue Sacred Land is indeed extraordinary."

He looked at Qian Renxue again; having not seen her for a long time, Qian Daoliu felt some emotion.

"Xiaoxue has grown up quite a bit, and her soul power has improved a lot. Following Lingxu is definitely the right choice."

After speaking, Qian Daoliu turned and left, as if he had never appeared.

After all, he had come because he saw Bibi Dong mobilizing on a large scale and was worried about the safety of Qian Renxue and Lingxu, so he had followed them here.

Not long after leaving, Bibi Dong stopped and said, "Yue Guan, go and kill everyone in Heaven Dou City who has a connection to Xiaogang, then return to the Spirit Hall."

"Yes, Your Excellency!" Yue Guan bowed and then headed toward Heaven Dou City.

Bibi Dong's arrival only shattered the Lingxue Sacred Land's defense array; it was just a small episode in daily life.

That night, looking at the four Spirit Beasts, Lingxu actually had a special idea in his heart.

He wondered if Spirit Beasts could practice the Lingxue Sacred Heart Art; if they could, their growth would be even faster.

Secondly, it could bring Lingxu more cultivation soul power.

Thinking of it, he did it; Lingxu went directly to find the Azure Dragon to conduct an experiment.

It is a pity that after consuming the Lingxue Pill, the desired effect was not achieved; the meridians of Spirit Beasts and humans are still somewhat different.

Although it did not work, Lingxu did obtain a piece of information from the Azure Dragon: in this Lingxue Sacred Land, their speed increase is not 10%, but a 100% increase, which is much faster than Lingxu.

He did not get what he wanted, but Lingxu was satisfied that there was an effect.

A hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beast does not truly mean it has lived for one hundred thousand years; these one hundred thousand years are merely a display of cultivation level.

The recruitment for the Lingxue Sacred Land proceeded daily, and Luo Xingyue had already become the main person in charge of the Lingxue Sacred Land at the current stage.

Lingxu and Qian Renxue only needed to make an occasional appearance.

Finally, after going through five rounds of recruiting disciples, the quota of three hundred ordinary people was filled.

To be precise, it was three hundred and twelve; Lingxu did not make the twelve extra people from the last round leave, as it was not easy to meet the standards after all.

As for Spirit Masters, there were fewer, with only twenty-eight in total across the five rounds.

Thus, these twenty-eight Spirit Masters and three hundred and twelve ordinary children were gathered on the outer sect plaza.

Lingxu and Qian Renxue stood together on the high platform.

"Greetings, Holy Master, Vice Saint Master!" three hundred and forty people shouted in unison.

Before this, Lingxu and Qian Renxue had already displayed their talent and soul power, and the twenty-eight Spirit Masters recruited on-site were all convinced and submissive.

As for these ordinary people, they had even less qualification to be proud.

Lingxu said: "Welcome everyone to join my Lingxue Sacred Land; I presume you also know some of the benefits of joining my Lingxue Sacred Land."

"But while there are benefits, there will be no lack of rules! Do you all know them?"

As soon as the words fell, the three hundred-plus people below spoke in unison.

"First, absolute loyalty to the Sacred Land!"

"Second, compete among fellow disciples, but do not harm them!"

"Ninth, do not leak any information about the Sacred Land to the outside!"

There were nine rules in total, and everyone recited them all.

Lingxu looked on, very satisfied, and added: "Good, very good!"

"Since you have already understood the rules, next I will talk about some of the benefits in this Sacred Land."

"Everyone can use the simulated cultivation environments; the specific usage rules are already posted at each simulated environment."

"Next is your treatment in the Sacred Land: each Spirit Master can receive five Gold Soul Coins per month, Great Spirit Masters twenty Gold Soul Coins, and Soul Elders 50 Gold Soul Coins; apart from these, you can also go to claim the subsidy from the Spirit Hall."

"Of course, there are requirements for claiming these; if you are at the Soul Elder stage and have not broken through after a certain amount of time, then these Gold Soul Coins will be halved, or even eliminated."

"Soul Ancestors receive 200 Gold Soul Coins per month, Soul Kings 500 Gold Soul Coins per month, Soul Emperors 1000 Gold Soul Coins, and Soul Saints 2000 Gold Soul Coins; as for Spirit Douluo, 5000 Gold Soul Coins per month."

"By the way, there are over three hundred of you here who are still ordinary people; once you become a Soul Scholar, each person will have 1 Gold Soul Coin per month, enough for your food and living."

"These are all basic subsidies, considered benefits given to you by the Sacred Land, and you only need to focus on cultivating well; if you feel these Gold Soul Coins are not enough, the Sacred Land will also issue contribution points based on individual contributions, which can also be exchanged for Gold Soul Coins."

"Of course, since the Sacred Land has given you benefits, you naturally need to pay something in return, do you understand?" Lingxu said loudly.

In fact, this treatment is already considered normal treatment on the outside.

But this is actually not the best, especially for ordinary people; becoming a Spirit Master is the important part.

"We understand!"

"Then starting now, consume the Lingxue Pill, and I will impart the Lingxue Sacred Heart Art to you; Feng Ming, you all come to help them consume it," Lingxu said.

"Yes, Holy Master!" Feng Ming said.

At this moment, Feng Ming led the Spirit Masters who had previously joined the Lingxue Sacred Land to begin helping the newcomers consume the Lingxue Pill, especially the ordinary people, who still needed the help of Spirit Masters.

Feng Ming, Huo Yan, Shui Qingfeng, Leng Yushuang, and the original members of Lingxu's household, Luo Yun'er and Luo Yun'er.

Besides these, there were also Carlos and Cheng Mo, as well as two other Spirit Masters who had joined.

A total of ten people were helping these three hundred-plus people consume the Lingxue Pill, and it was expected to take three days to complete.

Speaking of this Leng Yushuang, her niece had already arrived at the Lingxue Sacred Land after receiving her letter and successfully passed the assessment; what Lingxu did not expect was that this niece of Leng Yushuang was actually Xue Wu.

Xue Wu's age was one year younger than Feng Xiaotian, but she was not yet eleven years old, so her soul power was currently only level eighteen.

According to her talent, she could reach about level twenty-three by the age of twelve.

In this world of Douluo I, such talent is already considered upper-middle level.

The key is that she could also perform a Martial Soul Fusion Skill with Shui Bing'er in the future.

Shui Bing'er could perform a Martial Soul Fusion Skill with Xue Wu, and could also perform one with her younger sister Shui Yue'er; if possible, the three of them could perform a Martial Soul Fusion Skill together in the future.

If that were truly accomplished, then this three-person combination would also be a powerful combat force in the Lingxue Sacred Land.

Time passed slowly!

There were already ordinary children who had become Spirit Masters with the help of the Lingxue Pill and the Lingxue Sacred Heart Art.

However, most of the children possessed level one soul power after consuming the Lingxue Pill, which is equivalent to a first-rank Soul Scholar.

With level one soul power, they could cultivate and thus become a Spirit Master.

Perhaps some people could only be a Spirit Master or even just a Great Spirit Master for their whole lives, but as long as they worked hard, everything was possible.

You might say it is a bit difficult to become a Soul Saint or Spirit Douluo, but with hard work, becoming a Soul Elder is still possible, and a Soul King is not out of the question.

There is even the possibility of breaking through to higher levels if one has the opportunity.

Besides those with level one soul power, there were individual ordinary children who unexpectedly reached level two soul power after consuming the Lingxue Pill, and there was even one with level three soul power.

Lingxu did not know how to explain this, and could only say it was individual variation.

But in the end, there actually appeared an ordinary person who had level six soul power after consuming the Lingxue Pill.

This was a child just over six years old, whose parents both had soul power and had both successfully joined the Lingxue Sacred Land this time; they were both Soul Kings in their thirties, and both parents had innate level five soul power.

Yet the daughter had no innate soul power; the reason was that the daughter's martial soul had mutated, and it had mutated in a bad direction.

Originally, the parents' talent was not high, and the inherited talent would not be strong either; this mutation made it even worse, directly resulting in zero innate soul power.

It was just unexpected that with the help of the Lingxue Pill, the soul power reached level seven directly; even Lingxu did not expect that the Lingxue Pill would actually have such a marvelous use!

She is only six and a half years old, and at this time, a level seven soul power can be considered a relatively good talent.

Three days passed.

All twenty-eight Spirit Masters successfully cultivated the Lingxue Sacred Heart Art, which allowed them to truly experience the benefits of entering the Lingxue Sacred Land, and at the same time, they felt fortunate for their choice.

The remaining three hundred and twelve children were even happier, because they could finally become Spirit Masters.

And just at this moment, the number of members from whom Lingxu could obtain cultivation effects had reached 358!
