.
In the library, Qian Yucheng held his newly crafted compound crossbow.
He was truly captivated by it, aiming it left and right like a child with a new toy!
(Protagonist: Who isn't a 12*36 month old baby?!)
This compound crossbow was equipped with a scope, the kind with adjustable focus.
After explaining the principle of concave and convex lenses to Lu Tai, he piqued the other's interest and began researching.
In a single day, he created fifty different models of high-definition concave and convex mirrors.
Through various combinations, he created binoculars and microscopes!
Truly worthy of a master forging master, his skill was terrifying!
Lu Tai hadn't forgotten Qian Yucheng's instructions and created an adjustable-focus scope.
After assembling the compound crossbow, he handed it over directly.
He wasn't interested in the weapon itself, only in designing weapon parts.
Moreover, these magical lenses allowed him to discover many wondrous things!
After playing with the compound crossbow for a while, Qian Yucheng put it away.
He looked out the window and murmured, "I wonder if Bibi Dong's trip went smoothly this time. The Death Spider race is really troublesome!"
But thinking of Gui Mei and Yue Guan's departure, he felt it was nothing.
Their Martial Soul Fusion Skill—the Two Elements Stillness Domain—was also a very overpowered existence.
In the original series, two 100,000-year-old Soul Beasts were both forcibly controlled by their Martial Soul Fusion Skill.
"Why think so much? Read a book!"
"Reviewing the old helps one understand the new, and one can become a teacher!"
Qian Yucheng calmed himself down and sat down at his desk, picking up a book to read.
"Douluo Spring and Autumn"!
After turning two pages, his face suddenly turned slightly red.
At this moment, hurried footsteps came from outside the door. He hurriedly put down the book, and his face returned to normal.
"Second Young Master! The four elders, Yue Guan and the others, have returned!"
Before seeing them, he heard their voices.
Ling Yuan appeared not far from Qian Yucheng as soon as she finished speaking.
She was very fast in order to tell him the news as soon as possible.
This left her slightly breathless, the undulating curves of her snow-white breasts making it seem as if the fabric was about to give way.
Qian Yucheng glanced at her quickly and discreetly, saying, "What's your rush?"
"Second Young Master, all four of them are injured and look quite tired!"
"The Holy Maiden seems fine, unchanged from before she left!"
Ling Yuan reported what she had seen.
"They will definitely report this Soul Hunting operation to the Papal Palace."
"These are not things we should be concerned about. Let's just wait quietly!"
After saying this, Qian Yucheng picked up a copy of "The Geography of the Continent" again and began to read.
Bibi Dong wasn't injured; she must have encountered something.
If he wasn't mistaken, she would definitely come to the library to find him!
...
Bibi Dong, Yue Guan, and their group looked at Martial Soul City, their tense expressions finally relaxing.
For Yue Guan, this ordinary Soul Hunting operation was comparable in difficulty to hunting a 50,000-year-old soul beast.
The Netherworld Forest was truly not a place that ordinary people could enter. The place
was shrouded in poisonous miasma, and poisonous creatures were everywhere. If one wasn't careful, they could be ambushed by a sudden poisonous attack!
If given another chance, he would absolutely not agree to go to this place! It
was simply not a place fit for human habitation!
Qian Xunji had already sent someone to wait for them. Upon seeing the five, the person respectfully said,
"Elder Ju, His Holiness the Pope is waiting for you in the Papal Palace!"
"Understood, we'll go there now!" Moonlight replied, her tone carrying a strong feminine quality.
Twenty minutes later, the five arrived at the Papal Palace.
Seeing the five return safely, Qian Xunji's worries completely vanished.
He stood up and looked at the four Title Douluos, Yue Guan and the others: "Four elders, thank you for your hard work this time!"
Yue Guan and the others responded, "Your Holiness is too kind. Carrying out missions is what we should do!"
"The Spirit Hall still needs your strength. I have prepared a banquet to welcome you back!"
Qian Xunji smiled, then looked at Bibi Dong.
"Dong'er, show your teacher what you've learned this time!"
"Yes, teacher!" Bibi Dong nodded and took a step back.
She stretched out her right hand, and a dark purple spider appeared in her palm!
At the same time, a purple spirit ring lit up on her body!
That's right, a purple thousand-year spirit ring!
The Death Spider Queen's first spirit ring was a thousand-year spirit ring!
Qian Xunji immediately let out a proud laugh: "Hahaha, as expected of this Pope's disciple, truly extraordinary!"
"A thousand-year spirit ring, a unique existence in the entire spirit master world!"
As expected of his disciple, the student has surpassed the master!
Bibi Dong's thoughts drifted back to the two days after her conversation with Qian Yucheng.
Following the testing method he gave her, she ran around Wuhun City with a ten-pound weight.
In the end, after running three laps, she already felt her limit, and she could not continue with the fourth lap.
If she could not fall after three laps, her first spirit ring could absorb 1500 years!
She chose to believe Qian Yucheng's words, and her first spirit ring could absorb 1500 years!
Qian Xunji asked about her spirit hunting experience, and Yue Guan began to slowly recount:
After entering the Netherworld Forest, Yue Guan asked Bibi Dong how many years of spirit ring she wanted.
She stated directly: 1500 years!
This greatly shocked Yue Guan and the other three!
Choosing a thousand-year spirit ring as her first spirit ring—are young people these days all this crazy?!
The four exchanged glances, questioning each other: "Am I already out of touch with the times?!"
Bibi Dong's tone was resolute, making it difficult for Yue Guan and the others to dissuade her.
If problems arose during spirit ring absorption, they could intervene immediately.
Based on the spirit beast identification information provided by Bibi Dong, they found a suitable Death Spider.
One purple spot on its left leg, five white spots on its right leg—exactly 1500 years!
Ghostly Demon swiftly attacked, leaving the spider barely alive, before Bibi Dong finished it off.
A purple spirit ring appeared, and Bibi Dong summoned her Death Spider Emperor spirit to absorb it.
Unexpectedly, the spirit ring simply enveloped Bibi Dong, absorbing it with remarkable ease!
This scene was something the four Title Douluos had never witnessed before!
The spirit ring seemed eager to be absorbed by her!
After absorbing the spirit ring, Bibi Dong directly broke through to level 15 spirit power!
She gained her first spirit skill: Death Poison Mist!
[Death Spider Queen's First Spirit Skill - Death Poison Mist
Type: Mind Control and Deadly Poison Array Skill.
Effect: Purple poison permeates the area. Within the poison mist, the target's consciousness dissipates, spirit power is exhausted, and life force gradually drains away. After becoming a Title Douluo, it can even turn a person into a skeleton.]
However, Bibi Dong concealed one thing: she also obtained an external spirit bone!
The Death Spider's right palm external spirit bone - Death Claw!
This was something Yue Guan and the other three didn't know.
After hunting the spirit beast, they felt a powerful aura rushing towards them!
A huge Death Spider arrived nearby and attacked them.
Preliminary judgment indicated that this Death Spider was over 70,000 years old!
Its strength was actually no weaker than a Title Douluo!
The four fought and retreated, trying to leave the area, but five more 10,000-year-old Death Spiders surrounded them.
At the critical moment, Bibi Dong suddenly revealed the Death Spider Emperor, and the swarm of Death Spiders immediately stopped their pursuit and turned to leave.
This left the four completely bewildered. Seeing the danger had passed, they immediately took Bibi Dong back to the Spirit Hall.
Qian Xunji was deeply shocked after hearing his account of the experience.
It was truly rare for Bibi Dong's spirit to be able to intimidate Death Spiders that had existed for ten thousand years!
So far, he had only seen the Seven Kill Sword spirit;
after its appearance, all other sword-type spirits would tremble and submit.
With the Seven Kill Sword, ten thousand swords would submit!
He couldn't let the news of her absorbing a thousand-year spirit ring as her first spirit ring get out; it would bring her a lot of unnecessary trouble!
He looked at Bibi Dong and said earnestly, "Dong'er, put away your spirit ring. Don't show it unless absolutely necessary!"
Bibi Dong put away her spirit ring, and it disappeared as well.
Qian Xunji looked at Yue Guan and the other three, and said solemnly, "Regarding Dong'er's spirit ring, for the future of the Spirit Hall, the four elders must strictly keep it a secret!"
"This concerns a major matter for the Spirit Hall; I don't want any mishaps!"
"Understood, we will definitely keep it a secret and ensure the Holy Maiden's safety!"
Yue Guan and the other three knelt on one knee, expressing their determination.
The Spirit Hall had made them who they were; naturally, they wouldn't do something like overturning the table while eating.
The four of them had long ago entrusted everything to the Spirit Hall, vowing to live and die with it!
After fully understanding the matter, Qian Xunji took them to dinner.
He was very satisfied with the result this time and naturally wouldn't mistreat those who had contributed!
As the Pope, Qian Xunji had basic foresight.
The glory of the Spirit Hall was forged jointly by these Title Douluos and the Papal Palace.
If Bibi Dong was well-nurtured, his position as Pope would be even more secure!
