Broad Hill saw the hesitation on Qian Renxue's face and immediately pressed on.
"Oh, right, Little Snow, when I said your Martial Soul would become stronger, I wasn't just saying it casually. You can feel it and test its current strength."
As he spoke, Broad Hill controlled his aura and summoned his Martial Soul.
The moment the Broad Hill Divine Bow appeared in the secret room, Qian Renxue felt the surrounding temperature drop. The water in the glass on the nearby table was affected and instantly froze into ice.
Qian Renxue involuntarily took a step back, Soul Power enveloping her entire body, before looking at the Martial Soul in Broad Hill's hand, which seemed to have become much colder than before.
"It's enhanced this much?" Qian Renxue murmured to herself.
She had seen the Broad Hill Divine Bow more than once, but because her Angel Martial Soul inherently possessed fire attributes, she had even played with Broad Hill's Martial Soul in the past. But never before had she felt so cold just by being near it.
"And it's best to consume Immortal Herbs as early as possible. Oh, right, Little Snow, Han Li is already level thirty. Once he obtains his Soul Ring, he'll probably reach at least level thirty-two. He's not even eight years old yet, and he might really catch up to you in the future."
Broad Hill still played a trick, not mentioning that Han Li's first two rings had already turned into one black and one purple, or that his First Soul Ring could gradually increase in age with his strength, and that Han Li was planning to obtain a Soul Ring close to twenty thousand years for his third ring.
He'd let Qian Renxue discover these things for herself later. It wouldn't be appropriate for him to say it. Curiosity is the greatest motivation for someone to understand another person.
Although he, Broad Hill, was almost ninety years old and still single, he knew a few tricks.
Without giving Qian Renxue a chance to refuse, he took out the jade box while speaking, carefully placed it on the table, and then took out the auxiliary medicines that Han Li had prepared, sorting them into categories.
Finally, under Qian Renxue's gaze, he solemnly placed the handwritten booklet from Han Li into her hands.
"Little Snow, remember, you must follow the procedures in this manual completely. You must not be careless. Even I wouldn't dare to easily touch these Immortal Herbs. You can't mess around just because your Martial Soul is special, understand?"
Qian Renxue opened her mouth, seemingly wanting to say something, but looking at Broad Hill's unyielding expression, she solemnly took the booklet.
"I will repay him in the future."
Qian Renxue held back for a long time, her lips slightly moving, and said a sentence.
Seeing Qian Renxue accept the gift, a smile reappeared on Broad Hill's face, and he casually waved his hand: "What repayment? We're all family, no need for that."
"No, it's necessary. This Immortal Herb is too precious. I, Qian Renxue, am not that kind of person." Qian Renxue didn't understand Broad Hill's words at all, and replied with a serious face.
"Alright, alright, we'll listen to you, Little Snow." Broad Hill said soothingly, not taking it to heart.
"Remember to find a safe place when you have time, and have Ci Tun protect you. If the fire poison is too intense, use the method recorded by Xiao Li to expel it directly from your body. With Ci Tun's Martial Soul characteristics, even if it has some fire attributes, it's better than you enduring it and refining it. Well, directly giving up that part isn't impossible, anyway, your Martial Soul doesn't lack that little bit of supplement."
Broad Hill added seriously, otherwise he was afraid that Little Snow's proud nature would make her insist on absorbing it, and he couldn't afford to take responsibility if something happened.
"Don't worry, Grandpa Broad Hill, I know. I still have more important things to accomplish, and I won't give up because of this." Qian Renxue said with a smile, feeling Broad Hill's concern.
"Alas, mainly Xiao Li still needs my protection now, and you can't leave Heaven Dou City for a long time, and I haven't told him about you. Otherwise, it would be best to let Xiao Li help you absorb it." Broad Hill sighed.
"Hmm? What happened?"
Qian Renxue heard something unusual in Broad Hill's tone.
"Well, how to say it." Broad Hill said somewhat embarrassedly: "Actually, besides the effect of the Immortal Herb, Xiao Li also contributed greatly to my breakthrough, which caused some problems with his body and he needs time to recover. Otherwise, I would definitely let him help you absorb it perfectly."
"Is it serious?"
Having just received such a valuable gift, Qian Renxue subconsciously asked.
"It's okay, it just takes a little longer to recover, it shouldn't affect his subsequent growth." Broad Hill's expression was very complicated, but he didn't elaborate.
"If you need my help, Grandpa Broad Hill, remember to find me."
Qian Renxue's expression was very serious.
"Haha, don't worry, if there's anything I can use Little Snow for, I won't be polite." Broad Hill also replied with a smile.
"Alright, I have to go, remember, safety first, understand?"
Broad Hill pulled up his hood and turned back to urge her again, still not at ease.
"Don't worry, Grandpa Broad Hill, I know."
Qian Renxue returned a sweet smile.
As usual, Qian Renxue sent Broad Hill out the door and returned to the underground secret room, looking at the jade box, the medicines, and the not-so-exquisite booklet on the table, lost in thought.
She was becoming more and more curious about this "Little Uncle-Master" Han Li.
...
On the other side, Dugu Bo and his Granddaughter Du Gu Yan returned to their mansion in a carriage.
Along the way, no matter how much Du Gu Yan acted spoiled, Dugu Bo remained tight-lipped about what had just happened, which almost made Du Gu Yan not want to pay attention to him.
It wasn't until they returned home and dismissed the servants that Dugu Bo looked at his granddaughter, who was still pretending to be angry and turning her head away from him.
"Alright, Yan Yan, don't be angry. Grandpa will apologize to you now. Can't I just continue talking to you now?" Dugu Bo pulled Du Gu Yan to sit down at the table.
"Really?" Du Gu Yan turned her head, still reluctantly asking.
"Really, how could Grandpa lie to you? This is really too important for the Du Gu family. I wasn't cautious enough in the academy. Didn't I come home because of that?" Dugu Bo coaxed his granddaughter gently.
"What is so important? So mysterious." Du Gu Yan became interested.
"In short, it's really important, Yan Yan. You shouldn't have forgotten about your father's matter, right?"
When Dugu Bo mentioned this, his emotions and voice became low.
"Yeah." Du Gu Yan also showed a sad expression.
"Grandpa and your father told you before that he had problems because his Soul Ring combination was inappropriate and his body was weak, which led to his own poisoning. That's why he adjusted your Soul Ring acquisition. Actually, that was a lie to you."
In Du Gu Yan's astonished expression, Dugu Bo didn't dare to look at her, but continued, "I'm going to tell you the truth now. Your father's death was not because of his Soul Ring and body, but because of me."
"Because I took the wrong path when I was cultivating, and I was complacent and didn't know it, which led to my own Martial Soul being poisoned, and it was also passed on to future generations. And your most proud green eyes are also the reason why they are like this. Your father and you were born with poison from the womb because of this."
"When I found out, it was too late."
After saying all the words in one breath, Dugu Bo, who had been lowering his head, was already in tears at some point.
Du Gu Yan stood there blankly, looking at her deliberately dyed green nails, at a loss. She liked green, and in the past, she always thought it was a symbol of strength, but now, she was a little at a loss.
