Chapter 16 A Graceful Young Girl
At night, as Ye Tian lay in bed, drowsiness quickly overwhelmed him, followed by a familiar feeling of dizziness.
When he regained consciousness, he found himself in that familiar mental space.
Dong'er's time is different from his; it's daytime here.
The moment Ye Tian appeared, Dong'er, who was cultivating, suddenly paused, made an excuse and immediately ran back to her dormitory to lie down. The next second, her spiritual body appeared in front of Ye Tian.
"Brother Ye Tian!"
Ye Tian caught the girl who rushed towards him and looked Dong'er up and down with a smile.
Dong'er has grown quite a bit taller; her head is almost up to his shoulder now. And judging from the brocade clothes she's wearing and the smile on her face, she seems to be doing quite well inside the Spirit Hall.
"Brother Ye Tian, why did you disappear for three years before finally showing up!"
Having eased her longing, Dong'er stood before Ye Tian, staring at him without blinking. Her meaning was clear: Ye Tian was determined to give her an explanation today.
Ye Tian smiled bitterly to himself. He didn't want this either. Who knew that the system would remain silent for three months while three years had passed on Dong'er's side?
He pulled Dong'er down to sit and briefly revealed his secret. He had come to Dong'er's side in her dream; he hadn't come at his own whim.
Previously, we probably thought Dong'er was still young, so we could come every week, but after this time, we don't know how long it will be before we can come again.
Fortunately, Ye Tian had plenty of time this time, a full month.
A month was too long for Ye Tian, but Dong'er was still dissatisfied, though she couldn't do anything about it. If they angered that hidden entity, they might never see their brother Ye Tian again, which would be a huge loss.
Dong'er was like a perpetually cheerful lark, chirping and chattering as she recounted her experiences over the past three years.
"Brother Ye Tian, guess what level I am now?"
With three years of resources from the Spirit Hall and the help of his teacher Yue Guan, Ye Tian thought for a moment and gave his answer: "Level 23?"
"Brother Ye Tian, you underestimate me too much."
Dong'er looked at Ye Tian with a grin, and softly uttered a number that surprised Ye Tian.
"I'm already level 29, and in three months at most, I'll become a Soul Master!"
Ye Tian was genuinely astonished. A ten-year-old Soul Master—his talent was so great that even Tang San, the protagonist, could be crushed into dust.
"Dong'er, how have you been cultivating for the past three years?"
"Hehe, not long after you left, Brother Ye Tian, Master Yue Guan had me recognize another master, Master Gui Mei Gui."
"With the support of my two masters, I sold the Qi-Nourishing Pills you left me for a good price. My two masters only took a symbolic amount; they exchanged 99% of them for rare and precious herbs that are beneficial to my cultivation."
At this point, Dong'er suddenly remembered something and hurriedly said, "Brother Ye Tian, please wait a moment," before her spiritual form disappeared.
Dong'er found the storage ring in the hidden compartment and took out all the contents of it, placing them on the bed. There were more than thirty treasures in total, including a five-thousand-year-old soul bone.
"Brother Ye Tian, see if there's anything you need, just take it."
Dong'er spoke with great confidence, for she was now among the highest-ranking members of the Spirit Hall, below even the Soul Saints.
There's no other reason than that only she could provide the Peiyuan Pill, a precious elixir with exceptional effects on the next generation.
These days, who doesn't have descendants or friends? If you take a few dozen of these Qi-cultivating pills, when you awaken your martial soul, you can go from level five to level seven, and from level seven to level nine or even more. It's even possible to have innate full soul power.
With soul power above the seventh level of the Innate Realm, he's destined to become a Title Douluo in the future!
Moreover, this Qi-Nourishing Pill was specially given to a little guy with congenital deficiencies. As a result, when his martial soul awakened, he directly became a genius with full soul power. With such great publicity, all the families in Wuhun City above the Soul Douluo level came to purchase it.
With Yue Guan and Gui Mei present, even families with Title Douluo didn't intend to forcibly seize it. Naturally, Dong'er, who could produce the Peiyuan Pill, saw her status in the Spirit Hall rise accordingly.
"Brother Ye Tian, I heard from my two masters that even the Pope wants to take me as his disciple!"
"However, the pope had a condition: I had to reach level 30 before I turned ten."
"Does Dong'er want to become the Pope's disciple?"
Ye Tian never expected that after he had completely altered Dong'er's fate, the plot would take a turn back.
"The two masters said that the Pope has even more good things in his possession."
Dong'er's eyes darted around, a sly glint in them.
There was something else she didn't say.
If she becomes the Pope's disciple, she will be the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall in the future, and then she can arrange for people to search for her Ye Tian brother in this world.
Three years have passed, and under the unreserved guidance of Yue Guan and Gui Mei, Bibi Dong is no longer as naive as she was when she first met Ye Tian. She is now quite cunning.
Ye Tian didn't try to hide anything when he chatted with her, so Bibi Dong subtly inquired and learned many of Ye Tian's brother's secrets.
For example, Ye Tian's world is obviously much later than her world; perhaps Ye Tian in her world hasn't even been born yet.
However, this does not prevent her from using everything at her disposal to build up her own power.
In the future, she will surely become the only non-celebrity pope of the Spirit Hall. Only then will she be able to repay his kindness when she sees her childhood brother, Ye Tian.
Ye Tian wanted to refuse, but seeing Dong'er's determined gaze, he knew that if he didn't take any of the herbs, Dong'er would be sad. So he randomly picked out a few herbs and asked Dong'er for a prescription called Body Tempering Liquid.
"Dong'er, let me see that soul bone in your collection."
Bibi Dong relinquished control of her body. Ye Tian picked up the soul bone and examined it for a while, discerning its age.
This soul bone is 5,300 years old, which is quite a good soul bone, but it's not quite right for Dong'er.
"System, can you increase the age of my soul bone?"
"Yes, you can upgrade your Soul Bone to any age by spending a certain number of Destiny Points."
"Then take a look at how many Destiny Points are needed to upgrade this Soul Bone to a ten-thousand-year age limit."
A few seconds later, the system's voice sounded again.
"Upgrading a Soul Bone to 10,000 years requires 6000 Destiny Points. Upgrading it to 30,000 years requires 20000 Destiny Points, and upgrading it to 50,000 years requires 500000 Destiny Points..."
"Stop, stop, stop!"
Upon hearing the price, Ye Tian immediately called for a halt. He glanced at the shop, where soul bones of the same age were priced at most one-third higher than those processed by the system.
I always feel that I would be making a huge mistake by increasing the age of my soul bone.
"System, tell me, how much did you make in the process?"
"Host, please don't slander me. I am a system that strictly adheres to management regulations; I would never embezzle a single destiny point!"
