Chapter 85: Xue Qinghe's Invitation
Several kinds of immortal herbs are planted in Qi Tian's Sea-Stabilizing Pearl.
However, he was in no hurry to give the Narcissus Jade Bone to Zhu Zhuqing.
He planned to possess Zhu Zhuqing again after completing Ning Rongrong's mission, and then consume the immortal herb.
Qi Tian wanted to try and see if he could get some of the system's rewards.
However, this hope is slim, because the soul power cultivation Qi Tian gains after possessing them is all a stage reward from the system.
Now that the mission is nearly complete, this reward is probably gone.
The reward may be gone, but his soul should be nourished as his soul power cultivation increases.
Therefore, Qi Tian did not give Zhu Zhuqing the immortal herb immediately.
...
Outside Heaven Dou City, in the heart of Sunset Forest, lies the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire.
Bibi Dong stood in the valley, looking at the completely harvested medicinal garden, but she felt no anger, only a sense of excitement.
"It's him, it really is him!" Bibi Dong exclaimed excitedly.
Looking at the pool where the water level had dropped somewhat, she was now completely certain that this was Qi Tian's doing.
Ordinary people, seeing this, would at most pick medicinal herbs, but would never even consider taking the spring water.
Qi Tian, however, knew the purpose of that pool of water, and only he would try to take some of it away.
"You wouldn't be thinking of using the pool water to enhance the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's strength, would you?" Bibi Dong thought to herself.
The inner disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect are all support-type Soul Masters with no offensive capabilities. If they were to use this spring water, it would be quite troublesome.
Bibi Dong didn't care because she could avoid these two terrifying springs.
But she cared about Qi Tian's attitude. If Qi Tian wanted to help the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, would she still have to launch a soul-destroying operation against the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?
"Hmph, I'll catch you first and see where you run this time!" Bibi Dong thought to herself.
...
In the Crown Prince's residence in Heaven Dou City.
Qian Renxue was pleasantly surprised to see Bibi Dong, but she managed to hide her feelings well.
She asked casually, "Senior Sister, what brings you here? Is the Spirit Hall's operation being moved up?"
Qian Renxue had made ample preparations long ago. She now wields considerable power, not only having Dugu Bo as her subordinate.
She also has people in the military, the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, and among the nobility, and she has become a disciple of Ning Fengzhi of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
It's safe to say that if Xue Ye were to die now, someone would drape her in a yellow robe.
Bibi Dong shook her head: "No rush, it's not the right time yet!"
She didn't want the mainland to fall into war so quickly, because she was afraid it would affect Qi Tian. She wanted to find out more about Qi Tian first.
"What is Senior Sister doing in Heaven Dou City? She didn't come to see me, did she?" Qian Renxue thought to herself with a hint of smugness.
She regards Bibi Dong as her idol and rival, and Bibi Dong's visit to her is undoubtedly an affirmation of her.
Bibi Dong shook her head: "Didn't we just see each other a few days ago? Why would I come to see you?"
Qian Renxue had returned to Wuhun City some time ago, and the two have met.
"Go and invite your junior sister here. I need to talk to her!" Bibi Dong said.
"My junior sister?"
Qian Renxue was taken aback. When did she have a junior sister? Did her father have another daughter who was also her disciple?
"It's Ning Rongrong!" Bibi Dong explained.
Qian Renxue suddenly realized that it was Xue Qinghe's junior sister.
She was a little puzzled as to why Bibi Dong had invited Ning Rongrong, but she didn't press the matter; she figured she'd find out once Ning Rongrong came over.
Bibi Dong invited Ning Rongrong, naturally for Qi Tian's sake.
To barge into the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to capture Ning Rongrong is something only a fool would do.
Prematurely escalating the conflict between the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and Spirit Hall would not benefit Bibi Dong.
...
A few days later, Qi Tian possessed Ning Rongrong's body again.
Qi Tian was still a little reluctant to part with Ning Rongrong's soft and fragrant body, even though the mission was about to be completed.
Fortunately, after completing the mission, with Ning Rongrong's consent, he was able to possess Ning Rongrong again.
Ning Rongrong, in order to be able to form a soul contract in the future, should not refuse to let him possess her!
Qi Tian touched Ning Rongrong's soft, fragrant little bun, awakening her soul.
"Senior? You've arrived?" Ning Rongrong finally woke up.
Qi Tian was fairly satisfied with her attitude, so he asked, "Have you been cultivating diligently these past few days? Has anything happened recently?"
"Senior, I tried my best, but I still have some sore spots on my body!" Ning Rongrong said.
She had a vague sense of anticipation for taking a medicinal bath with Qi Tian and having him massage her to relax her muscles and bones; this was also one of her motivations for diligently cultivating.
"Well done. Here's what I'll do: I'll leave the prescription with you. You can get the medicine yourself and prepare the medicinal bath to relieve your aches and pains."
Qi Tian was about to complete his mission and wouldn't stay attached to Ning Rongrong forever, so naturally he wouldn't hold onto the medicinal bath prescription anymore.
Anyway, this prescription came from Yu Xiaogang, so it doesn't matter if it gets out; at most, it will just cause some medicinal herbs to increase in price.
He now carries the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl, which contains a Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, allowing him to grow any medicinal herbs he desires.
Ning Rongrong was pleasantly surprised. Such a precious medicinal bath formula was given to her directly?
Their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect also has many Battle Soul Masters. With this prescription, the sect's strength can be further enhanced.
However, she was a little disappointed that she couldn't take a medicinal bath with Qi Tian today.
"Senior, yesterday my senior brother, the Crown Prince, invited me to the Crown Prince's residence as a guest, and my father agreed." Ning Rongrong then got down to business.
"Crown Prince Senior Brother? Xue Qinghe? Why did she invite Ning Rongrong?" Qi Tian asked, somewhat puzzled.
Xue Qinghe and Ning Rongrong are eight years apart in age and rarely interact. Why would she invite Ning Rongrong?
However, Qi Tian didn't think much of it and decided to meet Xue Qinghe, then take the immortal herb, complete the mission, and leave.
It just so happens that he hasn't seen Qian Renxue and Dugu Yan for a long time.
For him, it had been more than half a year, but for Qian Renxue, being possessed was something that happened seven or eight years ago.
After washing up, Qi Tian, under Ning Rongrong's guidance, put on a pure white long dress to attend the banquet.
Wearing a formal dress, Ning Rongrong looked like a jewel, exquisite and noble. Even Qi Tian couldn't help but admire himself in the mirror for a while.
Qi Tian, accompanied by his guards, headed towards Heaven Dou City, which was a dozen miles away.
When he arrived at the Crown Prince's residence, Xue Qinghe was already waiting for him at the gate.
Qi Tian was dressed in formal attire, but Xue Qinghe wore only a light blue robe, making her appear approachable.
"Senior brother, thank you for keeping me waiting!" Qi Tian bowed.
Xue Qinghe smiled and exclaimed, "Junior Sister, you look absolutely radiant today! You've become even more beautiful in the months since I last saw you!"
She brought Qi Tian into the mansion and led him to the reception room.
In the reception room, a woman in a shimmering gold dress was staring intently at him.
As soon as Qi Tian entered the hall, he saw her. His pupils contracted, and he felt inexplicably guilty.
"How did she get here? Has Qian Renxue stopped trying to hide from people while she's in hiding?"
Qi Tian was a little nervous. He had seen something he shouldn't have seen, which would have meant he would be silenced.
