163: Chapter 163 Black Jade Divine Bamboo

"Teacher, were you looking for me?"

Su Wen was called over by Bibi Dong's maid while on his way to the Elder Palace.

"Come here!"

Bibi Dong gestured for him to come closer, under Su Wen's puzzled gaze.

A manual was handed over.

Upon opening it, there was a list of names.

Meng Shenji, Spirit: Black Demon, Level 84 Spirit Douluo.

Bai Baoshan, Spirit: Heavenly Star Furnace, Level 82 Spirit Douluo.

Zhi Lin, Spirit: Sky Azure Vine, Level 81 Spirit Douluo... Su Wen scanned down; there were a total of seven Spirit Douluos and nine Spirit Saints.

"These fellows enjoyed Spirit Hall's resources, yet they all ended up running elsewhere, and didn't even respond to the Supreme Pontiffs Decree!"

"Xiao Wen, how do you think we should handle these people?"

Bibi Dong asked calmly.

"Leave none alive!"

Su Wen didn't know about the others.

But the hearts of Meng Shenji, Bai Baoshan, and Zhi Lin were already with the Heaven Dou Empire.

Their future resistance against Spirit Hall was also an indisputable fact.

Aunt Ye had also given them warnings, but these three still had no reaction.

They cannot be kept.

"Very good, you deal with all these people then!"

Bibi Dong was very satisfied.

She appreciated this Disciple more and more.

To become a ruler...

A merciful heart must be the very last priority.

"Ah? I'm dealing with them?"

Su Wen subconsciously asked back.

"What? No confidence?"

Bibi Dong spoke indifferently.

"I'll try!"

Su Wen felt that given his situation, arm-wrestling with a Spirit Douluo should be no problem.

As long as they didn't all sixteen attack at once, A Xie could deal with them one by one.

"Good. Then in the name of the Saint, take their heads."

"The most troublesome among them are none other than Meng Shenji, Bai Baoshan, and Zhi Lin, as they are backed by the Heaven Dou Empire."

"So what?"

"This Supreme Pontiff will see if the Heaven Dou Empire will directly take action against our Spirit Hall for the sake of these three."

A sharp light flashed in Bibi Dong's eyes; besides proving Spirit Hall's majesty and solidifying the Supreme Pontiff Palace's power...

...if these people were integrated into Su Wen's Spirit Ability, it would also significantly strengthen his ability.

She mainly wanted to see what level Su Wen could fight at his current state.

Bibi Dong leaned lazily against the Supreme Pontiff's throne: "Go prepare. Set out in half a month!"

"Alright, Teacher. I'll take my leave then. Oh, and Teacher, I want to get a good night's sleep tonight, so I won't be going to your place to Cultivate."

A trace of displeasure appeared between Bibi Dong's brows, but after thinking for a moment, she still nodded.

Su Wen left the Supreme Pontiff and went to Ye Yuaner's courtyard. Upon entering, he saw Ye Yuaner lazily sunbathing.

"Aunt Ye, you're slacking off again. Why aren't you cultivating?"

"Hmph!"

Ye Yuaner hummed softly and changed her posture to continue lying flat.

She just got back; can't she enjoy herself a bit?

"Aunt Ye, if you don't work hard, I'm the one who's going to suffer!"

Su Wen went to the table and poured himself a cup of tea.

Ye Yuaner shot him an annoyed sidelong glance: "Anyone who didn't know better would think you're the Elder here!"

"Hehe, I have a mission to do in a few days. I'll probably need Aunt Ye to accompany me!"

"Mission? What mission?"

Ye Yuaner sat up and stretched, the curves of her body covered in leather fully revealed.

A breathtakingly ample bosom.

The alluring and soul-stirring curves.

Su Wen recounted the mission Bibi Dong had given him.

Ye Yuaner yawned: "Oh, that. I'll go with you when the time comes!"

"I don't think you alone will be enough, Aunt Ye. You'll need to help me call a few more Elders!"

Su Wen felt that if things escalated, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School would likely intervene again.

He planned to be cautious and prepared himself mentally for a battle with the Sword Douluo.

"Hmm? Surely it won't come to that?"

Ye Yuaner felt it was a bit of an overreaction; it was just killing a few Spirit Douluos.

"Let's not mention that for now; I'll talk to Teacher again later. Aunt Ye, I feel the time is right. You can consume the second Immortal Plant!"

Su Wen rummaged through his spirit tool; there were too few Immortal Plants suitable for a Phoenix Spirit.

Especially fire-attributed ones.

After searching for a long while, he took out the Immortal Plant: Ink Jade Divine Bamboo.

Dark green bamboo stalk.

About a meter long, the bamboo was divided into nine sections, resembling the structure of human limbs.

Four leaves grew at the top, and under the sunlight, some golden patterns could be seen.

"Im... Immortal Plant!"

Ye Yuaner perked up; she was very familiar with Immortal Plants: "Xiao Wen, you mean I can try another Immortal Plant?!"

"Indeed you can, Aunt Ye. This is the Ink Jade Divine Bamboo. Its effects are to boost a Spirit Master's attack power, enhance the lethality of the Spirit, strengthen the physical bodies of both the Spirit Master and the Spirit, and improve attribute effectiveness. It's an Immortal Plant with quite comprehensive effects. Your Spirit is already very strong; if the Phoenix's physical body is further strengthened, your Phoenix Spirit might reach a whole new level!"

As soon as Su Wen handed it over, Ye Yuaner took it directly.

She wasn't formal with Xiao Wen, and when they were collecting Immortal Plants, she knew very well that Su Wen's spirit tool was stuffed with quite a few.

Furthermore, knowing about the existence of Divinities made her desire for strength even more intense.

"Quick, tell Auntie how to eat it."

"Can it take me straight to Level 97?"

Ye Yuaner touched the Immortal Plant repeatedly, unable to put it down.

Su Wen rolled his eyes: "Aunt Ye, you just broke through to Level 96 not long ago. The hope for Level 97 is probably slim."

"You little rascal!" Ye Yuaner tapped him lightly: "I just had a bit of hope and you shattered it."

Su Wen shrugged, and Ye Yuaner pulled him over and bit his face as punishment!

"Don't you dare wipe it off!"

"Be careful or I'll get saliva all over your face!"

Following Su Wen's explanation, Ye Yuaner consumed the Ink Jade Divine Bamboo directly.

Su Wen watched quietly; if her attributes could be improved, Aunt Ye might possess the legendary Ultimate Fire.

This time, the consumption of the Immortal Plant took quite a while. Su Wen waited until nightfall, and Ye Yuaner still had no reaction.

She remained sitting quietly in meditation, without even a ripple of Soul Power from her body.

If not for the subtle changes in her expression, Su Wen would have almost thought she had fallen asleep.

Another three or four hours passed, and the sky gradually began to brighten.

The temperature around Ye Yuaner's body suddenly rose.

Su Wen had kept watch all night and finally felt a change.

His face showed surprise and joy.

The scorching heat from Ye Yuaner forced one to subconsciously retreat several steps.

With a massive Phoenix cry, the Phoenix Spirit soared into the sky.

It was no longer entirely fiery red; it now had some flowing gold mixed in.

As its wings spread, the fiery red mixed with golden tail feathers, the perfect image of the Phoenix, and the waves of pressure emanating from it all displayed the majesty of the Emperor of Birds.

Just then, a pillar of light suddenly descended from the sky.

It moved so fast that it vanished the moment it hit Ye Yuaner, as if nothing had happened, without even creating a single ripple.

In the Hall of Worship, Qian Daoliu opened his eyes immediately.

His gaze was no longer calm; it contained deep shock.

“Divine Power!”

“A God Trial has descended!”
