Douluo Continent: Starting from Tianshui Academy

Chapter 267 Divine Soul Pill

"Now I can finally rest in peace."

After seeing Qian Renxue and Jin Ling'er being taken away by Bibi Dong, Ye Liangchen leisurely lay on the bed to rest.

The next moment, Ye Liangchen remembered that Qian Renxue needed Qian Daoliu's sacrifice to become a god. After the old man died, Qian Renxue was extremely sad. It could be said that this woman became a god while crying all the way. He had to find a way to help the old man preserve his soul.

In the original storyline, when Qian Renxue and Tang San inherited their godhood, a powerful figure had to sacrifice himself for it to succeed. However, the inheritance of the Rakshasa God and the Asura God didn't seem to require a sacrifice. This suggests that godhood inheritance doesn't necessarily require a powerful figure to sacrifice themselves. Tang San and Qian Renxue were only able to succeed because they weren't strong enough, which is why they had two peerless Douluo sacrifice themselves to help them take the final step.

Qian Renxue's ascension to godhood required the sacrifice of Qian Daoliu, which was understandable since the previous generation of angel gods had died.

Tang San's inheritance of the Sea God's legacy required Poseidon's sacrifice, which was incredibly frustrating. The Sea God could have easily opened the gate to inheritance by simply projecting his divine consciousness, but he watched helplessly as Poseidon sacrificed herself. Even the usually selfish Tang San was deeply resentful of the Sea God's actions. Even though the Sea God eventually took Poseidon's soul to the God Realm, it still left a bad taste in his mouth. It's like telling someone to die, then resurrecting them, and expecting them to thank you – what kind of logic is that?

Ultimately, the gods of the divine realm don't care about the lives of mortals; they regard them as mere ants. Poseidon was imprisoned on Seagod Island her entire life, without freedom or a future. If someone were to unlock the Seagod's legacy, she would have to be sacrificed. In the end, she was merely a tool of the Seagod.

However, now that Ye Liangchen has gone to Poseidon Island, he can't let that naive and innocent Poseidon die. He also needs to cure her love-struck brain. If she finds out that Tang Chen is dead, she'll lose all will to live and turn into an old woman, which would be such a pity.

Thinking of this, Ye Liangchen checked his game inventory space to see what good treasures he had. He hadn't looked at it in a long time and had almost forgotten that he had a cheat.

"Buzzing..."

"Huh! What's this?"

Ye Liangchen saw that a jade bottle had been unsealed in his game inventory, and immediately took it out to examine it.

"A Soul Pill? Holy crap! I'm rich!"

Looking at the description on the jade bottle, Ye Liangchen was extremely excited. He hadn't expected that the treasure this time would be the Divine Soul Pill, a treasure that could elevate the soul to the level of a divine soul.

Both Qian Daoliu and Poseidon are demigods with soul power approaching level 100. To a large extent, this is because their souls cannot evolve into divine souls, thus they are forever stuck in the demigod realm. Another reason is that the level of this world is too low, preventing them from breaking through the shackles.

With this Divine Soul Pill, there's no need to worry about those around you becoming gods. As long as your strength reaches level 99, after taking the Divine Soul Pill, your soul will be upgraded to a divine soul, and becoming a god will be easy.

Ye Liangchen planned to let Qian Renxue and Shui Yue'er cultivate to level 99 before giving them the Divine Soul Pill, which should allow them to reach level 100. In this way, Old Man Qian and Poseidon would no longer need to make sacrifices.

Not bad, not bad, really not bad.

"Buzzing..."

Ye Liangchen opened the bottle cap, and the rich aroma of the Divine Soul Pill immediately wafted out, making people feel refreshed and as if their souls had been elevated.

"Sure enough, cheating is fun for a while, and it's even more fun if you keep cheating. I need to save this for later."

With a thought, Ye Liangchen put the Divine Soul Pill into his game inventory space.

"Hmm, there should be a record of the Soul-Soul Pill in the 'Alchemy Canon'!"

With a thought, Ye Liangchen took out the "Dan Dian" (Alchemy Canon) and examined it. Sure enough, he found the formula and refining method for the Divine Soul Pill.

"Divine Herb, Immortal Heart Herb, Nether Crystal Herb, Phoenix Blood Lotus, Silver Moon Lily of the Valley, Nether Orchid Mysterious Leaf, Ice Spirit Three-Flower Herb,..."

"Holy crap! Do these miraculous herbs even exist on this planet?"

Ye Liangchen looked at the immortal herbs needed for the Soul Pill and shook his head helplessly. It seemed that finding these immortal herbs was almost impossible. Fortunately, his cheat system brought the Soul Pill, so he didn't have to worry about the people around him.

The next morning, Ye Liangchen planned to go for a walk in the forest to find some spiritual herbs to refine into pills, so that he would have an excuse to take out the Divine Soul Pill.

"Xiao Chen, there's one place you absolutely must never go when you're looking for medicinal herbs!" Bibi Dong warned Ye Liangchen.

"Is it Death Valley?" Ye Liangchen asked.

"Yes! It's Death Valley. Besides many ferocious soul beasts, there are even inherently evil soul masters lurking in Death Valley. They are all ruthless villains who kill without blinking an eye."

"That is why Death Valley has become a training base for the Spirit Hall to train its strong members. The elimination rate of the spirit masters who enter Death Valley for training is very high. In the end, only our Title Douluo can rescue them."

Bibi Dong explained the horror of Death Valley to Ye Liangchen, also because she was afraid that he would go there and take risks.

"Don't worry! I won't take any risks."

Ye Liangchen understood the terror of Death Valley, but with his current strength, breaking through Death Valley would be a piece of cake.

"Brother Ye, I'll go with you."

When Jin Ling'er saw that Ye Liangchen was going to wander around in the mountains, she naturally had to follow him.

"Okay! Let's go then!"

Ye Liangchen had no choice but to leave Wuhun City with the little girl and head into the mountains. With her by his side, even if he ventured into Death Valley, he would be perfectly safe.

"Hey! Wait for me!"

Just then, Qian Renxue also ran out of the room and caught up with the two. Before Ye Liangchen returned to Tenglong City, she planned to spend some time with him.

"Sister Xue, aren't you going back to the Angel Temple to cultivate? You've already begun your divine trial," Ye Liangchen asked.

"Grandpa hasn't come back yet, so my divine exam can't be rushed." Qian Renxue smiled.

"Alright then, I'll wait for my senior to come back so I can tell him some things before I leave."

Ye Liangchen thought about it and realized that he would indeed need Qian Daoliu's help to pass the Qianrenxue Divine Test.

"You three follow them, but don't disturb them."

"Yes, Your Holiness the Pope."

After watching the three leave Wuhun City, Bibi Dong instructed Ling Yuan, Luo Hao, and Cheng Qi, three Title Douluos, to secretly follow them, just in case.

……

Ye Liangchen led the two women through the forest for two days and also refined some Soul Power Pills.

"Xiao Chen, you're really amazing."

After witnessing Ye Liangchen's abilities, Qian Renxue felt that the little guy was like a god.

"That's right! Brother Ye knows a lot."

Jin Ling'er chimed in from the side, occasionally stealing Soul Power Pills.

"Let's take a trip to Death Valley; maybe we'll find some top-grade medicinal herbs there."

On this day, Ye Liangchen decided to take a trip to the Spirit Hall's Death Training Base to see if it was as terrifying as the legends said.

The 100,000-year-old Death Spider King deep in Death Valley had long been killed by Bibi Dong, so Ye Liangchen wasn't worried about any danger.

"Ah! We're going to Death Valley? That's extremely dangerous..."

Qian Renxue was stunned when she heard Ye Liangchen's words, and then she went on and on to explain the horror of Death Valley.

"Sister Xue, are you scared?"

Jin Ling'er glanced at Qian Renxue, a playful expression on her face, thinking: With me here, what soul beast would dare to approach?

"Tch! Why would I, Qian Renxue, be afraid?"

"Let's go, let's venture into Death Valley."

Seeing that Jin Ling'er had underestimated her, Qian Renxue was immediately displeased. So she pulled Jin Ling'er and Ye Liangchen and headed towards Death Valley.

"Awoo..."

"Roar..."

A day later, the three arrived at a secluded spot outside Death Valley and heard various roars of beasts coming from the valley.

"This forest is nice, very old, there should be some good stuff there."

Looking at this vast primeval forest, complete with lakes, swamps, and rivers, it feels wonderful.

"Let's go, let's fly straight in."

"Swish..."

After Ye Liangchen and Qian Renxue were possessed by their martial souls, they were able to fly. Jin Ling'er's torso soul bone also had the ability to fly. So the three of them quietly slipped into Death Valley, and even the martial soul hall experts guarding the front of the valley did not notice them.

"The young master is really something, actually going crazy with the sect leader and Ling'er."

"However, given Xiao Chen and Ling'er's extraordinary strength, there shouldn't be any major problems."

Hidden a kilometer away, Ling Yuan and the others watched the three young people slip into Death Valley and shook their heads helplessly. So they had no choice but to immediately fly into Death Valley from another direction to ensure that nothing went wrong.

As Ye Liangchen and his two companions entered the canyon, they sensed a dark and gloomy atmosphere. White mist occasionally rose from the ground, making the canyon mysterious.

"Brother Ye, I seem to sense the aura of death." Jin Ling'er possesses the power of destiny and is extremely sensitive to the aura of death.

"Awoo..."

"Roar..."

"quack…"

The arrival of the three attracted the attention of many soul beasts. However, the soul beasts felt the suppression of the bloodline from Jin Ling'er and made terrified noises, as if warning her: Don't come any closer!

"Ling'er, take out your Golden Dragon Spear. Any soul beast that comes will have to kneel down."

Ye Liangchen reminded Jin Ling'er to take out the artifact, so that he wouldn't have to take out his assault rifle for self-defense.

"Oh right! Brother Ye, I almost forgot about it if you hadn't mentioned it."

"Swish..."

"hold head high…"

Jin Ling'er immediately took out the Golden Dragon Spear and even twirled it a few times. In an instant, the dragon's roar echoed through the heavens, and the golden dragon on the spear seemed to come alive, displaying unparalleled majesty.

"Wow! Ling'er's dragon spear is amazing!"

Qian Renxue was stunned. She never expected that the little girl would have such an unparalleled divine spear.

"Waaah..."

As expected, when Jin Ling'er's golden dragon bloodline power combined with the golden dragon spear, it unleashed a powerful dragon might that scared away the soul beasts surrounding the three of them.

"Haha...! Brother Ye, Sister Xue, aren't I amazing?"

Carrying the Golden Dragon Spear, Jin Ling'er strode forward with an air of indifference, seemingly oblivious to her own family.

"Ling'er is amazing."

Qian Renxue and Ye Liangchen gave the little girl a thumbs up before following her.

With Jin Ling'er's bloodline suppressing them, the soul beasts all retreated, and Ye Liangchen could also plunder the spiritual herbs in the canyon without restraint. However, he couldn't even find a trace of the spiritual herbs needed for the Divine Soul Pill, so it seemed there was no hope.

"This girl is really surprising."

"What kind of weapon is that dragon spear in Ling'er's hand? It's even frightening to a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast?"

Seeing Ye Liangchen and his two companions strolling through Death Valley as if they were in their own backyard, Ling Yuan, Luo Hao, and Cheng Qi were quite surprised.

Three days later, Ye Liangchen, Qian Renxue, and Jin Ling'er toured Death Valley.

"We have enough medicinal herbs now, that's enough. We should head back."

Ye Liangchen estimated that Qian Daoliu would be back in Wuhun City soon, and it was time for him to leave as well.

"This departure may mean it will be several years before I see you again."

Qian Renxue hugged Ye Liangchen and Jin Ling'er, feeling a little reluctant to part with them. She knew that after they left, they would have to leave the Spirit Hall.

During this time, Qian Renxue and the two little ones played in the mountains, which was both exciting and fun, and the three of them got along very well.

"We're just going to Poseidon Island to take the divine test. We'll be back in a few years."

"Sister Xue, we will miss you."

Ye Liangchen and Jin Ling'er comforted Qian Renxue, telling her not to be too sad.

"I know, I'll miss you all too."

Qian Renxue kissed each of them on the cheek, then pulled them along and walked out of the canyon.

"Sister Xue, Aunt Lingyuan and the others are watching us from a distance!" Ye Liangchen reminded her.

"It's okay! So what if they see it?"

Qian Renxue smiled indifferently. In any case, her relationship with the little guy was no secret among the higher-ups of the Spirit Hall.

After returning to the Papal Palace, Ye Liangchen began refining pills. The spiritual herbs he had collected were enough to refine some Xuan Sheng Pills.

A few days later, Qian Daoliu finally returned to the Spirit Hall. He was very proud of his success in helping the four Platinum Bishops, Salas, Omos, Captopril, and Lorton, break through to the Title Douluo level.

Salas, Omos, and the others were all peak Soul Douluo, stationed in the Heaven Dou and Star Luo Empires. Now, with Qian Daoliu's personal assistance, they were promoted to Title Douluo, which moved the four of them deeply. They all swore a solemn oath to Qian Daoliu that they would live as members of the Spirit Hall and die as ghosts of the Spirit Hall.

Upon learning that Qian Daoliu had returned, Ye Liangchen summoned Bibi Dong, Qian Renxue, and Qian Daoliu to a pavilion on Mount Papal to instruct them on some matters.

"Xiao Chen, what did you call us here for?" Bibi Dong asked curiously.

"I recently created a pill called the Divine Soul Pill, which can upgrade the soul of a demigod to a divine soul. I hope it will be helpful to you."

"Due to the limitations of this world, the Limit Douluo has been unable to break through to the level 100 and become a god for a long time. Once his soul advances to the level of divine soul, breaking through to the level 100 and becoming a god should not be difficult. Perhaps even the Grand Elder still has a chance to break through to the level 100."

"Sister Xue, remember to take the Divine Soul Pill only after you reach level 99."

Ye Liangchen explained the wondrous uses of the Divine Soul Pill to Bibi Dong and the other two. Then, with a thought, he took out three jade boxes and handed them to the three.

"A pill that can elevate the soul to a divine soul?"

Qian Renxue and Qian Daoliu were stunned. They never expected that this little guy would come up with such a treasure.

"So you went to Death Valley all this time to collect medicinal herbs."

Bibi Dong wasn't too surprised. Ye Liangchen could even produce a divine pill like the Creation Pill, so she was already used to the miracles he created.

"You are all Limit Douluo now. Take this pill first to upgrade your souls to divine souls."

Ye Liangchen instructed Bibi Dong and Qian Daoliu to take the Divine Soul Pill and see how effective it was.

"Okay! Let's try it right away."

Without saying a word, Bibi Dong and Qian Daoliu opened the jade box and took the Divine Soul Pill.

"Buzzing..."

The Divine Soul Pill melted instantly upon entering their mouths, and its miraculous energy immediately put the two into a state of enlightenment, causing powerful spiritual fluctuations to emanate from their bodies.

"Swish..."

Half an hour later, the two souls directly advanced to divine souls, and a powerful aura erupted, soaring straight into the sky.

"This feeling is truly amazing."

After their souls were elevated to divine souls, Qian Daoliu and Bibi Dong felt as if their life levels had been sublimated.

"Asura God Power affinity has reached 50%. Go to the Slaughter City as soon as possible to inherit the Asura God."

After Bibi Dong's soul was promoted to a divine soul, the Asura God in the God Realm, far away, sensed Bibi Dong's soul's advancement to a divine soul through his divine sense. He was extremely surprised and immediately used his divine sense to send a message to Bibi Dong, urging her to become a god as soon as possible.

"Senior, with the blessing of the Divine Soul Pill, Sister Xue may be able to become a god without your sacrifice, so please don't act rashly."

Ye Liangchen used his soul to transmit a message to Qian Daoliu, lest he act rashly and sacrifice himself to Qian Renxue.

With Qian Daoliu's current strength, even if he were to sacrifice himself, his soul should not dissipate. Ye Liangchen has given him a double guarantee.
