Chapter 104 Emperor Xueye's Banquet
Several hours later, the sun hung high in the sky.
The soul power emanating from Qin Ming and the others gradually subsided.
Seeing this, Dugu Bo knew that Qin Ming and the others' cultivation was nearing its end.
Just as Dugu Bo was beginning to relax, a knock came at the door.
"Brother Dugu, are you home?"
Hearing the voice, Dugu Bo frowned.
"Xue Xing, what does he want now?"
Thinking for a moment, Dugu Bo flashed to the door.
"Prince Xue Xing, what brings you here?
I don't plan to receive guests these days!"
Hearing this, Xue Xing outside the door was somewhat annoyed.
He had come specifically to visit Dugu Bo, but hadn't even been allowed to enter the courtyard.
Even though he was displeased, Xue Xing still managed to control his temper.
"Brother Dugu, my elder brother, Emperor Xueye, is inviting you to a banquet at the palace tonight.
I've come to deliver the invitation."
Hearing this, Dugu Bo was somewhat annoyed.
Just as Dugu Bo was about to refuse, Qin Ming's voice rang out behind him.
"Elder Dugu Bo, please accept the invitation.
We'll go together then."
Hearing this, Dugu Bo changed his mind.
After responding to Qin Ming, Dugu Bo opened the courtyard gate a crack.
He reached out and took the invitation, then closed the gate again, not giving Xue Xing a chance to see what was inside.
At this moment, Xue Xing, outside the courtyard, looked utterly dejected.
Looking at the tightly closed door in front of her, a sense of humiliation arose, and Xue Xing clenched her fists.
Qin Ming and the others hadn't deliberately concealed their aura when absorbing the immortal herbs, and many Soul Masters in the entire Heaven Dou City had sensed it.
Especially the auras of Yue Guan and Gui Mei, the two Title Douluos, were as obvious as a light in the dark.
Xue Xing knew that Qin Ming and the others were currently in Dugu Bo's courtyard.
The reason he had made this special trip was not only to deliver the invitation but also to investigate the situation.
However, he never expected that he wouldn't even be able to enter Dugu Bo's residence.
After a long while, Xue Xing let out a soft hum and led her attendants towards the palace...
Meanwhile, in Dugu Bo's residence,
Dugu Bo casually tossed the invitation aside and turned to look at Qin Ming.
Noticing that Qin Ming's eyes were still closed, Dugu Bo asked with some confusion,
"Your Highness, what's wrong?"
"No problem, I've gained something after absorbing this immortal herb."
As he spoke, Qin Ming slowly opened his eyes.
At this moment, Qin Ming felt that everything around him was so clear.
Whether it was the tiny dust particles in the air or the barely perceptible cracks on the wooden door in the distance, Qin Ming could easily observe them.
Compared to the visual changes, what truly delighted Qin Ming was that his mental strength had improved again.
Correspondingly, Qin Ming's distraction control method, which he specifically used to train his mental strength, had also improved, reaching the level of the Four Apertures Constant Heart.
Seeing Qin Ming's expression, Dugu Bo guessed that Qin Ming had made a great gain.
While happy for Qin Ming, Dugu Bo handed him the invitation.
"Your Highness, is it necessary for me to attend this banquet of the Heavenly Dou Royal Family?"
Hearing this, Qin Ming glanced at the ghostly figure still cultivating beside him.
He didn't care about Emperor Xue Ye. However, Qin Ming was still somewhat interested in the Heavenly Dou Empire's national treasure, the Vast Ocean Universe Cover.
Qin Ming knew that this item was actually the key to the Sea God's inheritance, the Heart of the Sea God.
Qin Ming wasn't particularly interested in the Sea God's divine position, but he didn't want it to fall into the wrong hands…
If there was an opportunity tonight, Qin Ming hoped to send Ghostly to the Heavenly Dou Imperial Palace.
Ideally, he could obtain the Vast Ocean Universe Cover directly; if not, he could try to ask Emperor Xue Ye for it.
While pondering, Qin Ming chuckled and replied,
"Of course I'll go. Elder Yue Guan and the others will go with you."
"Huh?"
Dugu Bo was somewhat confused. He didn't understand why Qin Ming was taking this banquet so seriously, even wanting to go personally.
Qin Ming didn't explain Dugu Bo's confusion.
Just as Dugu Bo was pondering, Yue Guan and the others also awoke from their meditation.
"I actually broke through to level 95 soul power?
That feels great, Old Ghost, I've widened the gap between us again!"
Golden petals drifted down, a faint fragrance filling the courtyard.
The next instant, a chilling aura emanated from Ghost.
"Level 95 soul power? I've already reached level 94 soul power."
Ghost's usually stern face began to smile.
As they spoke, Yue Guan and Ghost stood up and quickly walked to Qin Ming.
"Thank you for your help, Your Highness. Old Ghost and I will never let you down."
"Yue Guan is right. Your Highness, just entrust us with anything, and we will do our best to help you..."
Hearing this, Qin Ming waved his hand at the two of them.
"Elders, there's no need to worry. Your soul power has improved so much because of your deep accumulation over the years."
Just as the three of them were speaking, Colin also woke up.
"I actually broke through the bottleneck and reached level 60 soul power?"
Hearing this, Qin Ming and the others looked at Colin.
At this moment, Colleen seemed no different, but a closer look revealed that
the white hair at his temples had disappeared, his skin had a more radiant glow, and his aura was more restrained.
Sensing this, Qin Ming smiled and congratulated him.
"Congratulations, Bishop Colleen..."
Qin Ming said, glancing at Dugu Bo beside him.
"Counting carefully, there are three people in our team who need to acquire spirit rings."
Hearing Qin Ming say this, Colleen quickly replied.
"Your Highness, are you going to search for that Blue Silver Emperor now?
If you can force her to sacrifice herself, you will become the first spirit master in history to obtain a 100,000-year spirit ring at the fifth ring."
Hearing this, Qin Ming waved his hand.
"Forget it, Bishop Colleen.
The Blue Silver Emperor's attributes don't match my spirit, I have no interest in her spirit ring..."
Hearing Qin Ming say this, Yue Guan and the others all looked over.
Colleen had mentioned the name Blue Silver Emperor before, but they hadn't paid attention to it at the time.
However, hearing Qin Ming and Colin's words, they realized that the Blue Silver Emperor Colin mentioned was likely a 100,000-year-old soul beast.
Seeing the curious expressions on Yue Guan and the others' faces, Qin Ming didn't hide anything.
He directly signaled Colin to tell them about the Blue Silver Emperor.
After learning the details of the Blue Silver Emperor, Yue Guan, Gui Mei, and Dugu Bo all advised Qin Ming to find it immediately.
Even if they didn't want the Blue Silver Emperor's soul ring, they should at least obtain its 100,000-year-old soul bone…
