Chapter 54: Meng Shenji: I Suspect the Prince is a Spy
Elsewhere.
Qin Xiao had already passed through the area enveloped in poisonous gas and officially entered the basin where the Ice-Fire Yin-Yang Well was located.
"What a huge yin-yang well."
Looking at the blue and red springs in the center of the basin, Qin Xiao couldn't help but admire.
Then, without lingering, he remembered his purpose for coming here - the immortal herbs next to the Ice-Fire Yin-Yang Well.
Soon enough.
Qin Xiao arrived at the Ice-Fire Yin-Yang Well, surrounded by cinnabar lotus and cordyceps, herbs of such caliber.
However, Qin Xiao's gaze did not linger on these herbs. Instead, he found his first target.
It was an immortal herb growing beside the fire spring.
It looked like a big cabbage.
"Fierce Fire Apricot Grace."
Qin Xiao's eyes lit up.
He remembered that this herb, combined with another extremely cold herb, the Eight-Angle Xuan Ice Grass, and then dipped in the Ice-Fire Yin-Yang Well could create a body immune to ice and fire.
Being straightforward, he wanted to try it.
Using a jade knife he had prepared, Qin Xiao cut the Fierce Fire Apricot Grace and then went to the ice spring to cut a white, eight-angled large flower, the other herb he needed, the Eight-Angle Xuan Ice Grass.
However, Qin Xiao was puzzled when he held the Eight-Angle Xuan Ice Grass.
"According to the original story, this flower is extremely cold, and even a Title Douluo would suffer from its cold poison upon touch."
"Why do I feel it's cool and comfortable?"
Qin Xiao wondered.
Could it be that my resistance to ice attributes has reached a level where I'm unaffected by cold poison?
He then noticed something else amiss.
Instinctively, he looked at his other hand.
Because he didn't feel the legendary fire poison on the Fierce Fire Apricot Grace either?
"Could it be that my resistance to fire attributes is also high?"
In fact, Qin Xiao wasn't very convinced by the so-called immunity claims. There's no absolute immunity, just not high enough or low enough temperatures.
"Now's not the time to hesitate, the effect of the immortal herbs will fade after ten breaths."
Qin Xiao, holding the two herbs, devoured them eagerly.
Indeed, they tasted surprisingly good.
Melting in the mouth, with a fragrant aroma.
After consuming the two herbs, Qin Xiao felt somewhat unsatisfied.
But, the next moment, his face changed slightly. He felt a powerful force erupting inside him.
Very fierce!
"The effects of the herbs are kicking in!"
Qin Xiao knew immediately and instinctively started walking towards the direction of the Ice-Fire Yin-Yang Well.
But He stopped after just two steps.
Because the agitated power inside him quieted down. Then, as if drawn by something, it converged towards Qin Xiao's dantian.
"What's happening?"
Qin Xiao sensed something unusual. He immediately entered a state of internal vision.
He saw a human-shaped phantom appearing in his dantian qi sea.
Qin Xiao was stunned. Wasn't this his martial spirit?
He also noticed that the red and blue powers were being absorbed by the phantom.
"Good heavens, so it was it that intercepted the power of the Fierce Fire Apricot Grace and the Eight-Angle Xuan Ice Grass?"
Qin Xiao was shocked. Could it be that his Thunder Emperor martial spirit was growing in this manner?
Just then, the red and blue energy was completely absorbed by the phantom.
At the same time, Qin Xiao felt a sensation in his heart - he wasn't full.
"Good heavens, they say immortal herbs have immense energy, and eating too much would overwhelm even a Title Douluo. But you swallowed two kinds of immortal herbs in one go and still aren't satisfied?"
Qin Xiao felt that his martial soul was a big consumer of resources.
However, grumbling aside, he was still delighted in his heart.
The more immortal herbs it could absorb, the greater its potential, right? He believed that investment always pays off, especially when invested in oneself. Without delay, he began harvesting various immortal herbs.
Chicken Crest Phoenix Sunflower, Strange Chrysanthemum, Crystal Blood Ginseng, Autumn Dew...
Regardless of what Qin Xiao consumed, his humanoid martial soul accepted it all without discrimination.
It seemed that all kinds of immortal herbs turned into pure energy in front of him, replenishing what was needed.
"I don't believe you can eat all the remaining immortal herbs too."
Thinking this, Qin Xiao took out the Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid and stuffed it into his mouth.
Finally.
After absorbing the Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid, Qin Xiao's martial soul finally showed changes.
Mysterious runes appeared on the humanoid martial soul.
Qin Xiao's pupils contracted, and he whispered in his heart, "This is a soul technique."
The next moment, Qin Xiao's mind became hazy, as if he saw an ancient world.
There were nine layers of heaven, vague and terrifying, with an astonishing presence.
"Boom!"
The next moment, the nine layers of heaven merged, unleashing a divine thunderbolt!
Elsewhere.
Stars were extinguished!
"Nine Heavens Tribulation Light!"
Witnessing all this, Qin Xiao identified the name of this soul technique!
"Awesome, this soul technique is much stronger than any hundred-thousand-year soul skill!"
"No."
"In front of the Nine Heavens Tribulation Light, what are hundred-thousand-year soul skills?"
At this moment, Qin Xiao felt that the vast expenditure of immortal herbs for this soul skill was worthwhile.
His cultivation might not have improved, but his combat power had soared.
"What, Chairman Meng, are you serious?"
"How can there be such a young Title Douluo in the world?"
In the Tian Dou Imperial Palace, Meng Shenji told the current crown prince of the Tian Dou Empire, Xue Qinghe, about the events at the Tian Dou Royal Academy.
As expected, Xue Qinghe was greatly shaken.
"Your Highness, I am not deceiving you, this matter is absolutely true."
Meng Shenji made a swearing gesture, "Not just me, Zhi Lin, Bai Baoshan can also testify. If it weren't for Prince Xue Xing and Prince Xue Beng's narrow-mindedness, our Tian Dou Empire would have gained another Title Douluo level follower."
"Your Highness would have gained another Title Douluo level supporter!"
Mentioning this, his heart bled.
Xue Qinghe's gaze flickered, and he said solemnly, "Indeed, it was improper of Prince Xue Xing and Xue Beng. But neither my uncle nor Xue Beng are within my power to punish. Chairman Meng, would you accompany me to see my father and report this matter?"
Actually, after hearing Meng Shenji's words, Xue Qinghe was relieved.
Even a bit pleased.
Xue Xing and Xue Beng, those fools, in their effort to weaken me, actually rejected such a powerful person?
He couldn't help thinking, "Well done!"
"Imagine how furious Emperor Xue Ye would be when he hears of this?"
Xue Qinghe secretly anticipated Emperor Xue Ye's reaction.
Of course.
He wouldn't miss this opportunity to suppress Prince Xue Xing and Xue Beng heavily.
Hearing this, Meng Shenji was initially surprised, then responded resoundingly, "I am willing to accompany Your Highness to see His Majesty and explain the events. I will request His Majesty to punish Prince Xue Xing and Prince Xue Beng severely."
"Your Highness, frankly speaking, I suspect that Prince Xue Xing and Prince Xue Beng might have been turned by the Star Luo Empire, or even the Spirit Hall, deliberately weakening our Tian Dou's strength."
