Chapter 66: Yue Guan's Choice, Yun Yuan Makes a Promise
Seeing Yun Yuan wake up, with joy still evident on his face, Qian Xunji stepped forward and asked about his gains.
"Xiao Yuan, how were the results?"
At the same time, Bibi Dong also looked at Yun Yuan with curious eyes.
Then, Yun Yuan stood up and began explaining his harvest to Qian Xunji and Bibi Dong.
"Senior Sister, Teacher, this time the gains are immense. My soul power has reached rank forty-seven, and my talent has once again been enhanced."
"And the soul skill granted to me by the Sun-Piercing Divine Falcon is called Ultimate Sublimation. When I use this soul skill, all of my attributes increase by 100%. It also gives me an invincible heart, pushing my battle intent to its absolute peak. This effect suits my Atlas Spear perfectly."
Hearing this, Qian Xunji and Bibi Dong both inhaled sharply again. The effect of this soul skill was too heaven-defying.
"Xiao Yuan, it seems the cultivation path you are walking has already been paved halfway. Once you successfully create your own ultimate skill in the future, your path will be completely complete."
Based on Yun Yuan's first four soul skills alone, Qian Xunji already felt that even if the latter four were not enhancement-type soul skills, it would not matter.
These first four soul skills, combined with a self-created ultimate skill, would be enough for Yun Yuan to stand at the pinnacle of soul masters.
"That's right, Teacher. As for that ultimate skill, I am absolutely confident I can create it in the future, and it will certainly surpass the Clear Sky Sect's Tang Chen's self-created ultimate skills. I have that confidence."
Hearing Qian Xunji's praise, Yun Yuan clenched his fist, his gaze unwavering, his words filled with confidence and arrogance.
However, Yun Yuan indeed had such confidence. After obtaining his fourth soul ring, his talent had become five times what it was when he first awakened his martial soul.
His original talent was already extraordinary. Even as a child, by practicing the spear alone, he had comprehended spear momentum. This alone showed how terrifying his comprehension ability was.
Even without the enhancement of his talent, Yun Yuan still had the confidence to suppress all enemies in the world.
After helping Bibi Dong and Yun Yuan obtain their soul rings, Qian Xunji led the two back toward Spirit City.
Yun Yuan still had seven immortal pills in his storage soul tool, which he intended to give to his uncles and his father.
Moreover, what intrigued Qian Xunji was the so-called soul core Yun Yuan had mentioned. It could even further increase the strength of his father, who had already reached the level of an Ultimate Douluo.
Time passed in the blink of an eye. After several days, Qian Xunji, Yun Yuan, and Bibi Dong returned to the familiar Spirit City.
After returning, Yun Yuan parted ways with Qian Xunji, as he still had a debt of gratitude to repay.
Inside his storage soul tool was the immortal herb Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, which he planned to give to Yue Guan in return for being allowed to read the Record of Myriad Ancient Precious Herbs earlier.
At this moment, Bibi Dong was also eager to return to her palace and fully integrate her external soul bone, the Eight Spider Lances.
She also wanted to see what abilities her Eight Spider Lances possessed. After all, it was an extremely precious external soul bone, and the first soul bone of her life. Naturally, she was filled with curiosity.
In front of Yue Guan's residence,
Yun Yuan appeared there. He first had someone notify Yue Guan, and soon after, Yue Guan came out, welcomed Yun Yuan inside, and brought him to the familiar pavilion.
"May I ask what important matter brings Your Highness here?"
Sitting in the pavilion, Yue Guan slowly asked, curiosity in his eyes.
In response, Yun Yuan said nothing, choosing instead to answer with actions. He took out the precious Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum from his storage soul tool.
"This is… Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum?!"
"Your Highness, where did you find this flower? If Your Highness is willing to part with it, Yue Guan is willing to repay with anything."
Upon seeing the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, Yue Guan nearly lost his composure. This was the flower of his dreams. If he could obtain it, his life would be complete.
Seeing the longing in Yue Guan's eyes, Yun Yuan smiled faintly and placed the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum into Yue Guan's hands.
"Elder Yue Guan, I am giving this Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum to you. Your repayment has long already been made."
"Already repaid?"
Yue Guan pondered for a while before recalling that past event, disbelief appearing on his face.
"Your Highness, the repayment you speak of… could it be the Record of Myriad Ancient Precious Herbs? How could a mere book compare to an immortal herb?"
This was Yue Guan's doubt. He had only allowed Yun Yuan to read that book for a few days, yet now he was receiving an immortal herb for free. The return was simply too great.
Faced with Yue Guan's question, Yun Yuan nodded and continued:
"Elder Yue Guan, you may not realize how much your Record of Myriad Ancient Precious Herbs helped me back then."
"Moreover, what I found this time was not just a single immortal herb. The number of immortal herbs exceeds what can be counted on two hands."
Hearing this, Yue Guan's eyes shone brightly, his body trembling with excitement.
"Your Highness, could you allow me to see the immortal herbs you found? You may not know this, but I am obsessed with flowers and plants. My lifelong dream is to witness those legendary immortal herbs."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yue Guan looked at Yun Yuan with anticipation, hoping he would agree.
"Elder Yue Guan, you may ask my teacher. If my teacher permits, you may enter that treasure land where the immortal herbs grow."
"However, most of the immortal herbs have already been refined by me into immortal pills, and only a few remain in that place."
At this point, Yun Yuan changed the subject.
"Elder Yue Guan, the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum in your hand can also be refined into an immortal pill. Your martial soul is originally the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum. If you consume such a pill, you may have a chance to step into the realm of an Ultimate Douluo in the future, standing at the peak of soul masters."
"Elder Yue Guan, would you like me to help you refine it into an immortal pill?"
Hearing this, Yue Guan did not hesitate in the slightest and refused Yun Yuan's proposal outright.
"Your Highness, no need. Yue Guan still loves flowers more."
Perhaps the realm of an Ultimate Douluo was extremely tempting for a soul master, but Yue Guan was not only a soul master; he was also a flower lover. His obsession with flora had reached an unimaginable level.
Moreover, the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum in his hand was his most beloved immortal herb in his entire life, without equal. Therefore, he would not refine it into an immortal pill.
Yun Yuan was not surprised by Yue Guan's answer. This was the Yue Guan he knew—someone who treated flowers as his second life.
"I respect Elder Yue Guan's decision. However, if one day you change your mind, you may come find me. My words today will always stand."
After saying this, Yun Yuan bid farewell to Yue Guan, left his residence, and returned to the Pope's Palace.
"Teacher, we can go find Grandmaster and the other grand elders now. After today, the foundation of Spirit Hall will rise to another level."
Upon seeing Qian Xunji, Yun Yuan curved his lips into a joyful smile and spoke excitedly.
