"From now on, the two of you Elders will await orders from Ji'er in the Supreme Pontiff Palace," Qian Daoliu said.
"Hold on, old man, Chrysanthemum and Ghost are both Spirit Douluo now. You're too stingy. You can't just send me off with two Spirit Douluo," Qian Xunji said.
"You brat, don't play innocent after getting a good deal. It's true that Elders Chrysanthemum and Ghost are Spirit Douluo now, but they are only one step away from becoming Titled Douluo. Furthermore, their Spirit fusion skill, when combined, is even more valuable than an ordinary Titled Douluo," Qian Daoliu said.
"Give me another Titled Douluo," Qian Xunji said, holding up one finger.
"No way. You've already squandered two Titled Douluo from the Supreme Pontiff Palace. Chrysanthemum and Ghost are my final tolerance for you. If you embarrass this old man again, I might consider letting you retire in the future and have Xue'er take your place."
Qian Xunji: "…"
When Xue'er's name was mentioned, Qian Xunji suddenly wanted to see his precious daughter.
"By the way, where is Xue'er?" Qian Xunji asked.
"Xue'er? This isn't a good time for you. I've already taken her to absorb her spirit ring. She's tired now and resting. If you want to see her, come back tomorrow," Qian Daoliu said.
"What did you say? Absorbed her spirit ring?" Qian Xunji asked in shock.
"How many years?"
"The first spirit ring is 420 years, and the second spirit ring is 760 years. How about that? The spirit ring configuration I found for Xue'er is good enough, isn't it?" Qian Daoliu said.
"Good my ass! My Xue'er has innate level 20 spirit power and a physique that surpasses ordinary Spirit Masters, and you just got her these spirit rings?" Qian Xunji said angrily. He had just planned to let Qian Renxue use the two Spirit beads, but then this old man told Qian Xunji that Qian Renxue had already absorbed her spirit rings.
In the original work, Qian Renxue clearly had excellent talent, but her spirit ring configuration was as ordinary as could be, completely incomparable to cheats like Tang San, whose fourth ring was ten thousand years and sixth ring was one hundred thousand years. A large part of the reason was the influence of this rotten old man.
"Otherwise? Young people, don't be too ambitious, you brat. This is the spirit ring age limit configuration standard passed down by our Angel Clan ancestors. Most Spirit Masters who exceed this spirit ring age limit will explode and die. The ancestral family law cannot be changed, do you understand, boy?" Qian Daoliu said.
"Ancestral family law? That applies to ordinary people, not to true geniuses. My 'Good Disciple' Bibi Dong, her second ring was a Death Spider Emperor, and she directly got a thousand-year spirit ring. How come she's fine?" Qian Xunji retorted.
"So what? Bibi Dong is just an exception. Who knows what would happen if Xue'er absorbed a higher-year spirit ring? Our Angel Clan has waited so long and finally has an heir who can become a god. Everything should be about stability. Do you have the heart to let Xue'er explode and die from absorbing a higher-year spirit ring?" Qian Daoliu said guiltily.
"Forget it, I'm not talking to you, old man." Qian Xunji looked deeply in the direction of Xue'er's room. Although he really wanted to see his daughter, he had more important things to do right now.
That was, he had to go see Haozi. Poor Haozi had just suffered the pain of losing his wife. As Haozi's closest uncle, I, Qian Xunji, still had to go visit him.
The next time he saw Xue'er, it would have to wait until after he met Haozi and returned.
He left the Hall of Worship with the two Spirit Douluo, Chrysanthemum.
Even if Qian Renxue absorbed her spirit rings now, it wouldn't have much impact on Qian Xunji. Qian Xunji had plenty of ways to turn all of Qian Renxue's spirit rings blood-red.
It was just that this process would definitely waste a lot of emotion points.
"Sigh, what to do if emotion points aren't enough? I can only, only, only make Dong'er, Xiaogang, Haozi, and Xiao San suffer a bit more!" Qian Xunji said with a look of apology.
The two Spirit Douluo, Chrysanthemum, who were following behind, were a bit confused when they heard the Pope's words.
After returning to the Supreme Pontiff Palace, Bibi Dong had already adjusted her emotions from the basement. She walked up to Qian Xunji and said, "Dong'er greets Teacher."
Although Bibi Dong appeared docile on the surface, her heart was not calm. Seeing Qian Xunji's face, the resentment that Bibi Dong had just calmed down surged up again.
[Bibi Dong's resentment + 10000]
[Bibi Dong's resentment + 10000]
Wait.
Qian Xunji's lips curled slightly. Dong'er, you truly are my Good Disciple. As long as I stand before you, these golden eggs will roll down. It seems I will have to show up in front of you more often in the future.
"Ahem, let me introduce you. This is Elder Chrysanthemum, and this is Elder Ghost. From now on, they will be the two great Guardian Douluo of our Supreme Pontiff Palace," Qian Xunji said.
"Greetings, two Elders."
"Chrysanthemum greets Her Holy Maiden."
"Ghost greets Her Holy Maiden."
The two sides introduced themselves. Currently, Chrysanthemum's rank is 89, Ghost's rank is 89, and Bibi Dong's rank is 87. Chrysanthemum and Ghost should advance to Titled Douluo a step before Bibi Dong.
Qian Xunji said, "Ghost, Chrysanthemum, and Dong'er, I have something I need to go out for. During this time, you all must cultivate diligently. When you reach rank 90, do not easily attach a spirit ring. Wait for me to return, understand?"
"Yes, Teacher," Bibi Dong said.
"As you command, Your Holiness the Pope," Chrysanthemum and Ghost said.
After giving instructions to Chrysanthemum and Ghost, a system voice suddenly sounded in Qian Xunji's ear.
[Ding, main quest triggered: Punch in Tang San]
[Quest Requirement: Esteemed Host, please immediately proceed to Tang San's location and punch in to trigger the villain's main quest.]
[Quest Reward: A fragment of future vision, one Universal Friendship Card]
There are even main quests? Qian Xunji was stunned. He originally thought his system was just for him to torment Tang San and the protagonists, collecting their emotion points to strengthen himself. He didn't expect this system to also have the function of issuing quests.
However, this was exactly what he wanted. Qian Xunji was already planning to visit Haozi and his son, Xiao San, in Saint Spirit Village. This trip would be a convenient detour.
Next, Qian Xunji directly sent Chrysanthemum, Ghost, and Bibi Dong into seclusion, while he immediately set off for Saint Spirit Village.
On this journey, Qian Xunji did not take a carriage or any other mode of transport. He traveled directly using his Spirit. The speed of a Seraphim itself reached an extreme, and a Twelve-Winged Fallen Angel was even more terrifying.
From Spirit City to Saint Spirit Village, a round trip by carriage would take several months. This distance was covered by Qian Xunji in just one day.
Early the next morning, Qian Xunji landed in Saint Spirit Village.
