5: Fiery Phoenix

"Level ninety!"

Ye Yuaner opened her beautiful eyes, her Phoenix-like gaze burning with a blazing fire.

There was a sense of joy amidst the eerie beauty.

She could clearly feel the transformative changes she had undergone.

"Xiao Wen!"

Ye Yuaner rushed to Su Wen's side, gave him a quick peck on the cheek, and then pulled him tightly into her soft embrace.

"Xiao Wen, this Immortal Plant really is as miraculous as you said."

She knew that her fire-attribute abilities had reached an unprecedented Realm, giving her the confidence to burn through anything.

"Aunt Ye..."

Su Wen inhaled the fragrance at the tip of his nose and struggled to lift his head from the valley of her cleavage.

"How about you gear up first, then we can talk about your gains?"

Only then did Ye Yuaner realize her predicament.

The flames that overflowed while she consumed the Immortal Plant had burned her clothes to ashes.

Her cheeks flushed slightly.

Even the tips of her ears turned red.

But it was only for a moment before she let out a charming laugh: "It's not like I haven't seen yours before, giggle~ We're even!"

Ye Yuaner feigned composure as she took out clothes from her spirit tool.

The tight-fitting leather outfit that used to fit perfectly now seemed somewhat tight on her.

At her chest, the already beautiful curves had become even more proud and upright.

It traced a breathtaking silhouette, perfectly revealing her delicate collarbones.

Ye Yuaner was stunned for a moment: "Xiao Wen, does the Immortal Plant also have a beauty-enhancing effect?"

Su Wen didn't answer but directly took a mirror out of Ye Yuaner's spirit tool.

The figure reflected in the mirror made Ye Yuaner's cheeks flush slightly.

Her skin was as translucent and lustrous as mutton-fat white jade, with a faint, healthy rosy glow.

Ye Yuaner felt joy in her heart; her clothes were tighter, and her skin was more tender.

What woman wouldn't love this!

"Aunt Ye, stop looking at your face for a moment, let's look at your Spirit first!"

Su Wen reminded her.

Ye Yuaner gave him a playful glare, put away the mirror, and summoned her Spirit, the Blazing Fire Spirit Kite.

Following the cry of a Phoenix.

The Phoenix soars a thousand fathoms high, never perching unless on a Parasol Tree.

Behind Ye Yuaner, a crown slowly emerged, followed by the Spirit's head and then its body. When it was fully manifest, the Spirit slowly opened its eyes.

In those eyes, crimson flames burned, as if to swallow everything, carrying a pressure that seemed to look down upon the world.

What appeared was no longer the Blazing Fire Spirit Kite, but a Blazing Fire Phoenix burning with raging flames.

The Phoenix soared into the sky, filling the air with ten thousand fathoms of red clouds.

"My Spirit actually underwent a mutation!"

At this moment, Ye Yuaner finally understood exactly how powerful the Immortal Plant was.

The potential to become a god was not an exaggeration.

A Spirit could actually evolve; this point alone shattered the common knowledge of the Spirit Master's world.

Ye Yuaner grabbed Su Wen, leaped onto the Spirit's back, and flew toward Spirit City.

"Xiao Wen, if we tell this news to His Holiness the Supreme Pontiff or the High Priest, it will definitely be a great contribution for you!"

"Aunt Ye, can we not say anything?"

"Why?"

"There are so many people in Spirit Hall, with no fewer than ten Titled Douluo, plus the family members in the Elder Palace. Do you think I'd get any Immortal Plants for myself?"

"This... I understand, I'll listen to you!"

Ye Yuaner knew she was a member of Spirit Hall, but compared to Spirit Hall, Xiao Wen was more important to her.

Su Wen suddenly changed the subject: "We still need to see the High Priest. Aunt Ye, can you see him with your status?"

"I can, but unless there's something important, no one in Spirit Hall can just request an audience with the High Priest at will!"

Ye Yuaner spoke with a hint of confusion: "What are we seeing the High Priest for?"

"Aunt Ye, do you want to have a hundred thousand year spirit ring and Spirit Bone?"

A hundred thousand year spirit ring was a treasure every Spirit Master dreamed of, and it was also one of the requirements to break through to Limit Douluo.

Su Wen understood the importance of a protector.

The stronger Ye Yuaner was, the more security he would have before he grew up.

Her status in Spirit Hall would also be nothing but high.

Having consumed an Immortal Plant, it was possible that a god might truly come knocking in the future.

Su Wen knew that there were definitely four Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beasts on the surface of the Star Dou Great Forest right now.

Da Ming, Er Ming, Xiao Wu, and her mother.

As for the Vicious Beasts, they were all in deep sleep during this period. Unless the Star Dou Great Forest was destroyed, they likely wouldn't appear.

If he went to ask Bibi Dong for help in hunting a Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast...

It was simply unrealistic.

Bibi Dong herself was short on hundred thousand year spirit rings.

Only the Hall of Worship could provide an opportunity if he used an Immortal Plant in exchange for their help.

He could mention the Immortal Plants, but there was no need to bring up the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

"Xiao Wen, isn't that stalk for your own use?"

Ye Yuaner immediately understood Su Wen's intention.

She felt a warmth in her heart.

Who wouldn't want a hundred thousand year spirit ring?!

She was very envious of Bibi Dong's ninth spirit ring.

But Immortal Plants were so precious, and Xiao Wen had only picked two stalks; he hadn't even consumed one himself yet.

"Aunt Ye, it seems a person can only consume one Immortal Plant, unless they complement each other. This stalk isn't suitable for me. Using it to trade for a hundred thousand year spirit ring and Spirit Bone is just right. Besides, once you become a Titled Douluo, we'll go back. By then, Dugu Bo will definitely hand over his territory obediently when he sees you."

Ye Yuaner no longer hesitated upon hearing this. After entering Spirit City, she took Su Wen toward the Hall of Worship.

"Xiao Wen, this is your first time here. Let me tell you, our Spirit Hall has four major halls. The first is the Supreme Pontiff Palace, the center of power. Everyone in Spirit Hall revolves around the Supreme Pontiff Palace, and the Supreme Pontiff lives inside. You'll be going to the Supreme Pontiff Palace often in the future."

"The second is the Elder Palace, which houses experts who have advanced to Titled Douluo, up to level 95. Once I obtain my spirit ring, I will also become a member of the Elder Palace."

"The third is the Hall of Worship, also known as the Angelic Sanctuary. It's the place where the High Priest and the six major Priests Cultivate. They are all Super Douluo of level ninety-six or higher, and they are absolutely loyal to the Angel. One doesn't even have the qualification to enter without reaching level ninety-six. The people of the Hall of Worship do not concern themselves with worldly affairs and rarely interfere with Spirit Hall's business."

"The fourth is the Douluo Hall, also known as the Hall of Heroes, the burial ground for Titled Douluo. All the deceased Titled Douluo in the history of Spirit Hall are inside."

As a Platinum Bishop, Ye Yuaner walked through Spirit Hall entirely by showing her face; no one blocked her.

On the way to the Hall of Worship with Su Wen, she explained with great interest.

Su Wen also listened carefully.

The two soon arrived at the Hall of Worship, its gates over ten meters high.

There were four Hall Guard Knight at the entrance.

"Report to the High Priest that Platinum Bishop Ye Yuaner of Spirit City, accompanied by the Supreme Pontiff's Disciple, requests an audience for an important matter!"

Ye Yuaner's voice was forceful and carried a hint of coldness, a completely different manner from when she spoke to Su Wen.

The Temple Guard Knight took the order and turned to walk inside the Hall of Worship.

After Su Wen and Ye Yuaner waited for a while, the Temple Guard Knight came out and spoke respectfully: "Lord Platinum Bishop, the High Priest allows you to enter."
