Douluo Continent: Qian Daoliu has had a crush on me for a long time

Chapter 32 Medicinal Bath, Soul Power Increases

Chunshui bit her lower lip, hesitated for a moment, then lowered her head and waved to Ye Jingqiu, signaling her to come closer.

Ye Jingqiu walked over quickly, and Chunshui lay down. The two were very close at this moment, as if she was afraid that others would hear them.

Chunshui lowered her voice, "Miss, you mustn't let anyone else know about this. When I first came to serve in the Hall of Worship, I shared a dormitory with the elders in the hall. There have always been rumors in the Hall of Worship that the former Pope was not actually the High Priest's biological son."

"I don't know who the young master's mother is, but it's true that his father is the former pope. The Hall of Worship avoids mentioning the young master's mother's identity like the plague."

"However, if the former Pope was not the High Priest's biological son as rumored, then the young master is naturally not his biological granddaughter. But you mustn't tell anyone about this, Miss. I'll just tell you secretly."

Ye Jingqiu nodded thoughtfully upon hearing this, then smiled and said, "Don't worry, Chunshui." As she spoke, Ye Jingqiu winked at her, "This is a little secret between the two of us."

Chunshui looked at Ye Jingqiu and suddenly sighed, "If my sister were still alive, she would be about the same age as Miss now."

Ye Jingqiu was taken aback. She suddenly seemed to understand why Chunshui was so kind to her. She was silent for a moment before saying, "Sister Chunshui."

Chunshui was taken aback upon hearing this, and then her eyes reddened. "Thank you, Miss, but you can't call me that anymore."

Ye Jingqiu understood Chunshui's meaning. There were many rules in the offering hall, and if they got out, it would cause trouble for Chunshui.

Ye Jingqiu nodded. "I understand. How long will this medicinal bath last?"

Chunshui suddenly stood up. "This is the last time. The Grand Elder said to go find him when you wake up. I almost forgot because of this interruption."

After saying that, Chunshui poured all the medicinal herbs from the wooden basin into the pool, and then said, "Miss, I'm going to find the Grand Master first. Keep track of the time for one hour."

After saying that, Chunshui turned and left.

Ye Jingqiu slowly closed her eyes in the mist. She felt as if all the pores on her body were opening up at that moment, and the fatigue from running disappeared.

She glanced down at her arm; it had been very fair before, but now her skin looked like glowing white jade.

Could it be that this medicinal bath also has beauty and skin-nourishing effects?

An hour passed quickly. Ye Jing put on the light blue dress that Chunshui had prepared for her and frowned.

Chunshui seemed to have a special love for skirts, as all the skirts she was provided with were skirts.

She opened the bathhouse door, and Chunshui had already returned. She lowered her head and said, "Miss, the Grand Master is waiting."

The two walked quickly to the door of Ye Jingqiu's room. Chunshui secretly pointed and mouthed: "The Grand Master is inside."

She then turned her back to the room. Chunshui was very afraid of Qiandaoliu, which Ye Jingqiu knew from the beginning, but she found it a little strange.

Although Qian Daoliu had a cold demeanor, he had always given her the impression of being a very good person. He saved her and taught her how to become a powerful Soul Master.

She had a very good impression of Qian Daoliu.

Ye Jingqiu pushed open the door. Qian Daoliu was sitting on the sofa. He waved to her when he saw her. She walked over and sat on the small sofa, saying somewhat embarrassedly, "Grand Elder, I didn't run a hundred laps."

Qian Daoliu narrowed his eyes and stared at her for a long time before speaking, "It's good that you did your best. I won't blame you, but remember, if you slack off, you will face even more rigorous training."

Ye Jingqiu nodded vigorously and smiled, "I understand, Grand Elder."

Her eyes were bright, and Qian Daoliu's gaze shifted slightly. "Now is the best time to cultivate soul power."

Ye Jingqiu quickly sat cross-legged. When she felt the surging soul power, she was extremely surprised. In just three days, her soul power had reached level thirty-nine.

When her soul power began to surge, Ye Jingqiu clearly felt that her soul power was purer. Unlike before, she felt that her body's resilience had also improved a lot, making her cultivation twice as effective with half the effort.

The birds on the branches outside the window returned to their nests, the sky gradually darkened, and the stars rose. Qian Daoliu reached out his hand, and as his soul power surged at his fingertips, the lights in the room turned on.

At his level, soul power is no longer just for fighting.

Ye Jingqiu slowly opened her eyes. Unbeknownst to her, a flash of silver light passed through her golden eyes. She looked at Qian Daoliu with a look of surprise and delight, "Great Elder, my soul power is now at level thirty-nine. I feel that it won't be long before I reach level forty."

She paused for a moment and then asked, "Is it because of that medicinal bath?"

Qian Daoliu nodded slightly and said, "That's right, that medicinal bath can cleanse your marrow and make your body more resilient, especially after you break through your running limits."

"But this medicinal bath cannot be used too often. Although forcing growth will make your soul power increase extremely fast now, it will be very difficult for you to break through again when you reach a higher soul power level in the long run. So you can only use this medicinal bath once. You will have to rely on yourself for your future cultivation."

"I understand the Great Offering."

What were your first two soul skills?

The latest novel is first published here!

Ye Jingqiu obediently replied, "The first soul skill, Bell-Snatching Strike, can render the enemy unable to make a sound for a short period of time, while also slowing their movements."

"The second soul skill, 'Demonic Sound Piercing Ears,' will continuously damage the enemy's mind, causing them to become disoriented and potentially stray from their target when using the skill."

A hint of amazement flashed in Qian Daoliu's eyes. "Your two soul skills control people so well. If you can add high burst damage in the later stages, you will be invincible in one-on-one situations, or even one-on-two situations."

"For your fourth soul skill, you need to find a soul beast suitable for an offensive soul master to supplement your burst damage. Ideally, it should be able to kill in one hit and end the battle quickly."

Ye Jingqiu nodded. "I understand, Grand Elder. I will cultivate diligently these next few days and strive to become a Soul Master as soon as possible."

Qian Daoliu looked at Ye Jingqiu with admiration, "But if you want to become the next Pope of the Spirit Hall, strength alone is not enough. There are many things to deal with in the Hall of Worship every day. Starting tomorrow, you will follow me and learn how to become a qualified Holy Maiden."

"I understand, Great Offering."

Qian Daoliu stood up, and as he walked to the door, he suddenly turned back to look at Ye Jingqiu. He had suddenly changed his mind. "What are you going to do with those who ambushed you?"

Ye Jingqiu was taken aback, not expecting Qian Daoliu to suddenly bring this up. "Naturally, we'll hand them over to the Ministry of Justice."

Upon hearing this, Qian Daoliu glanced at Ye Jingqiu with a disappointed expression before turning and leaving.

Ye Jingqiu was stunned, completely unaware of what Qian Daoliu meant.
