Douluo Continent: Reborn as Qin Ming, starting by joining the Spirit Hall

Chapter 148 The Successor

Inside the offering hall.

Qian Xun quickly straightened his expression and pointed at Qin Ming.

"In a few decades!"

"After I abdicate, Qin Ming will be the next Pope."

Upon hearing this, Qin Ming was slightly taken aback.

However, Qin Ming quickly realized what was going on.

Qian Xunji was not saying that he wanted to abdicate; he was simply formally designating him as the successor to the Pope.

Qin Ming was not surprised by Qian Xunji's decision.

After all, there weren't many people qualified to succeed him as pope at that time; besides himself, there was only Bibi Dong.

Compared to Bibi Dong, Qin Ming has a significant advantage in the struggle for the papacy.

First of all, all the retainers have chosen to stand on Qin Ming's side.

As for the titled elders, apart from Yue Guan and Gui Mei, there were no other elders.

A large group of people had already gathered around Qin Ming.

This includes Dugu Bo, who is about to join, Ning Fengzhi and others from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School who were previously recruited by Qin Ming, and Ye Renxin from the Nine Star Begonia School...

These people naturally sided with Qin Ming.

Apart from that, most of the other titled elders also held goodwill towards Qin Ming.

Qin Ming has too many supporters, so it won't be too difficult for him to ascend to the throne in the future.

Bibi Dong, however, was different; her relationship with the retainers and titled elders was not good.

It can be said that at this moment, no one was on Bibi Dong's side.

In addition, Qin Ming is also Qian Xunji's future son-in-law, and he also has the added advantage of being valued by the gods.

It was the combination of these many factors that led Qian Xunji to make the decision to let Qin Ming ascend the throne...

Just as Qin Ming was pondering, Qian Daoliu made the decision directly.

"Making Qin Ming the successor is indeed feasible; let's settle on that!"

Seeing that Qian Daoliu had also expressed his opinion, Qian Xunji nodded.

After the important matters were settled, Qian Xunji coughed lightly and then looked at Golden Crocodile Douluo.

"Second Uncle, where is that ten-thousand-year-old ninth-grade ginseng king now?"

Has it already been escorted to Wuhun City?

Upon hearing this, Golden Crocodile Douluo shook his head at Qian Xunji.

"No, I recently passed the divine test and also learned that Qin Ming has been valued by the gods."

Therefore, I brought my third brother and Qin Ming back ahead of time.

"Second Uncle, now that you and Third Uncle are back, what should we do with that ancient, ninth-grade ginseng king?"

Qian Xunji's expression showed a hint of anxiety.

Seeing Qian Xunji's condition, Golden Crocodile Douluo began to explain.

"Your Holiness need not worry. Elder Yueguan and Elder Guimei are still in the team responsible for escorting the Ten Thousand Year Ninth Grade Ginseng King."

With the two of them around, there won't be any problems.

Upon hearing this, Qian Xunji nodded.

"Okay, Second Uncle, I understand."

After responding to Golden Crocodile Douluo's words, Qian Xunji stroked his chin and looked at Qian Daoliu again.

"Father, look, all the uncles and Qin Ming have their own immortal herbs."

"Could we give that ancient, grade-nine ginseng king to Bibi Dong? After all, she..."

"No!"

Qian Daoliu interrupted without even thinking.

"The ten-thousand-year-old ninth-grade ginseng king will still be allocated according to the previous method."

As she spoke, Qian Xunji turned her gaze to Qin Ming, Golden Crocodile Douluo, and Azure Phoenix Douluo.

"Second brother, third brother, before you came back, Qin Ming and the rest of us had already discussed and completed the distribution of that ten-thousand-year-old ninth-grade ginseng king."

"Second and third brother, you two will jointly own 30% of the share, Qin Ming will have his own half share, and the fourth brother will give him the remaining 10%."

With that, Qian Daoliu sighed.

"We were so careful when we divided the area, who could have imagined what would happen after you came back?"

Qin Ming actually brought out so many immortal herbs, even providing one immortal herb for each person…”

As he spoke, Qian Daoliu shook his head and looked at Qian Xunji again.

"Xunji, I don't want to get involved in your affairs with Bibi Dong anymore."

It's up to you to decide how to handle it.

Upon hearing this, Qian Xunji's face lit up with joy.

He did indeed intend to use the immortal herb to compensate and please Bibi Dong.

Just as Qian Xunji was about to express his gratitude, Qian Daoliu continued.

"However, the distribution of the immortal herbs cannot be done according to your whims."

If you can convince your uncles and Qin Ming.

Get them to agree to give up their share.

"I have no objection to whoever you want to give the Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Grade Nine Ginseng King to..."

No sooner had Qian Daoliu finished speaking than Lion Douluo directly and explicitly expressed his opposition.

"Your Holiness, I disagree with your decision to grant Bibi Dong a larger share of the immortal herbs."

As he spoke, the lion pointed at Golden Crocodile Douluo.

"Have you forgotten what your second brother just said?"

After consuming the immortal herb, the second brother's martial soul evolved, and he successfully broke through the bottleneck to reach level 99 in soul power.

He sensed that he had successfully reached the realm of the gods, attracted their attention, and gained the qualification to inherit a divine position…

As he spoke, Lion Douluo's expression grew increasingly serious.

"Pope, have you thought about the future?"

Bibi Dong's talent is no less than her second brother's.

If Bibi Dong also qualified for the divine examination after consuming a complete immortal herb.

And she also inherited a divine position. What do you think her attitude towards our Spirit Hall will be?

Upon hearing this, the expressions of all the worshippers present changed.

Golden Crocodile Douluo stepped out from the crowd and said in a deep voice.

"The fourth brother is right!"

"Your Holiness, I have no objection to giving Bibi Dong other compensation, but you absolutely cannot give her a complete immortal herb."

After Golden Crocodile Douluo expressed his opinion, the other elders followed suit, all of them clearly rejecting Qian Xunji's proposal.

After seeing the attitudes of the several worshippers, Qian Xunji felt somewhat weary.

He then turned his attention to Qin Ming, hoping to gain his support.

"Qin Ming, what do you think...?"

"I'm sorry, Your Holiness, but my teacher and I share the same view."

Qin Ming also shook his head at Qian Xunji.

Upon hearing Qin Ming say the same thing, Qian Xunji sighed and said nothing more.

"Then let's distribute it the same way as before."

Bibi Dong occupies half of the share of the Wannian Jiupin Ginseng King.

My 10% share is…”

"Still reserved for Xiaoxue!"

Qian Daoliu interrupted Qian Xunji's unfinished words.

"The Ten Thousand Year Nine Grade Ginseng King is a kind of immortal herb that nourishes the body and strengthens the vital energy. Xiaoxue can use the medicinal power of the Ten Thousand Year Nine Grade Ginseng King to build a foundation."

This is laying the groundwork for future upgrades to your martial spirit!

Upon hearing this, Qin Ming immediately responded.

"Your Excellency, I'm willing to give my share to Xiaoxue!"

After Qin Ming finished speaking, Golden Crocodile Douluo and the other elders exchanged glances and made the same decision.

"I'm also willing to give my share to Xiaoxue..."

Seeing that his proposal was rejected by everyone, Qin Ming casually said something that garnered so much support.

Qian Xunji fell silent. At this moment, he felt that being the pope was utterly meaningless...

This chapter has been revised three times, so the update is a bit late today.

The initial version described cultivating a ten-thousand-year-old, grade-nine ginseng king and harvesting it regularly. It was already up to the second chapter, but later it felt unsuitable, so it was changed to leave the ten-thousand-year-old, grade-nine ginseng king to the Dugu Bo family.

Thinking about it again, it still didn't feel right, so in the end, it was decided to give it to Qian Renxue...
