Chapter 202 Meeting Bibi Dong for the first time (2 in 1)

On the other end, Lin Manshan, who had put on a mask, walked out of the guesthouse with Dugu Bo, got into the carriage prepared by Ghost Douluo, and headed towards the direction of the Martial Spirit Hall.

And not long after Lin Manshan left, someone hurriedly ran into the guesthouse.

"Captain, no wonder Yu Xiaogang's martial soul was abolished. That guy even got mixed into the Pope's Palace for an audience with the Pope by himself with a Pope's Order of unknown origin, and he even called Pope Bibi Dong by her real name and spoke out against her. I just walked around Spirit City and on my way, I found a bulletin board with notices posted announcing this matter."

They had arrived in Spirit City yesterday afternoon with a large group, and after a tiring journey, they had all stayed at the guesthouse that night to rest and adjust and hadn't gone out. It was only this morning that they thought of going out for a stroll, and as a result, they unexpectedly made a big discovery.

"So brave?" The people in the room were taken aback.

"Is not he?"

Not long after, one after another people returned to the guesthouse with news.

The carriage Lin Manshan was travelling in also travelled slowly to stop in front of the Supreme Pontiff Palace.

Stepping off the carriage, led by Ghost Douluo, he walked straight into the guest hall next to the Pope's Hall.

Inside the rectangular wide hall, the décor was mainly white, with gold decorations embedded in the walls, giving people a sense of grandeur and holiness. The layout of the hall is simple, in the forefront there is a huge hollowed-out glazed window, outlining the image of six-winged angels, shining with many colours, underneath is the main seat, on both sides are rows of guest seats, and on the middle of the seats is a finely carved marble table, on which tea sets and fruits are placed.

Wearing a purple dress, Bibi Dong sat in the main seat with a perfect appearance, and on the lower left side stood Chrysanthemum Douluo.

Bibi Dong is really good-looking, the original novel didn't lie to me... Lin Manshan politely saluted, "Greetings, Your Holiness."

On the side, Dugu Bo slightly arched his hand in salute.

"The two of you are excused, please take a seat." Bibi Dong's voice was crisp.

Lin Manshan once again arched his hand, then followed Dugu Bo to the right seat and sat down.

"Elder Chrysanthemum, Elder Ghost, you guys also sit down." Bibi Dong turned her head to the left.

"Thank you, Your Holiness Supreme Pontiff." The two of them bowed slightly and came to sit on the left side seat.

Seeing this, Bibi Dong turned her head to look in Dugu Bo's direction again, "Coronet Dugu, young friend Lin, I'm not going to hide it from the two of you, the drop of blood containing strange impure energies that Elder Ghost brought with him last time came from me. This time, I invite you two to come, one is that I have already collected some medicinal herbs these days, so I purposely take this opportunity to ask young friend Lin to make a detailed diagnosis and seek a root cure for it."

"The second is to discuss the matter of the Clear Sky Clan, and by the way, to deliver the Image Retention Stones that young friend Lin has asked for."

After saying that, with a flick of her right hand, six image-retaining stones were suspended in her palm, "Young friend Lin, I don't know if six of them are enough?"

While saying that, she urged her spirit power, controlling the image-retaining stones to float to the desktop beside Lin Manshan and descend.

"Sufficient." Lin Manshan immediately nodded his head, then politely arched his hand, "Thank you, Your Holiness!"

With a swipe of his right hand, he put the image-retaining stone into his spirit tool.

"A small matter." Bibi Dong's face did not change as she continued, "I wonder what plans the two of you have for these image-retaining stones?

"Since Tang Hao intends for Tang San to recognise his ancestor and return to the Clear Sky Clan, he will make a move sooner or later, and with these six shadow-retaining stones, we can readily use them for surveillance records. In addition, the interactions between the Strength Clan and the Speed Clan with Tang Hao father and son can also be recorded." Dugu Bo nodded slightly, "Anyway, it's only right to collect more, maybe we can use them when the time comes?"

Bibi Dong nodded slightly, "Coronet Dugu certainly thinks far ahead."

"Of course, the final work still has to be done by the Martial Spirit Hall, my side is only responsible for collecting." Dugu Bo continued.

"Then I'll trouble Coronet Dugu." Bibi Dong nodded her head in response.

"A small matter." Dugu Bo waved his hand, then his tone changed and sank slightly, "However, I still stand by my words. Before laying hands on the Clear Sky Clan, it's best to resolve Tang Hao first and do so in secret. Otherwise, the impact will be too great and will spread to all the upper three clans. Especially the Clear Sky Clan will definitely increase their guard, which will not be conducive to your subsequent move to annihilate the Clear Sky Clan in one fell swoop."

"And my suggestion is to first maintain surveillance, lock Tang Hao's whereabouts, and wait for everything to be fully prepared by you, then find a chance to catch him alone and finish him off. Regarding this, if you're short of people, you can come to me at that time. After that, you can use the information you've gathered to put the fire on the Clear Sky Clan and take it down in the process. As for Tang San, hehe, I have my own way to make him die without knowing it."

Tang Hao had once pursued and hunted down Dugu Bo and Lin Manshan, it seemed that he still remembered the grudge. Bibi Dong nodded, Dugu Bo's meaning had already been expressed clearly, he would step in to help in killing Tang Hao father and son, as it could be done stealthily without bringing any impact on himself and Skywalker Academy. The Clear Sky Clan, on the other hand, was too large, and participating in the operation would risk exposing himself, so he could only assist from the sidelines.

A smart choice, and for the Martial Spirit Hall, it was already enough.

Moreover, keeping Dugu Bo covertly cooperating, might be more profitable for the Martial Spirit Hall, and it was also considered to have placed a secret pawn in the Heaven Dou Empire's imperial capital, which might be of great use in the subsequent dealing with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan and the execution of the Heaven Dou Empire seizing power plan.

Thinking of this, she smiled faintly, "Coronet Dugu Bo's plan is very much to my liking."

"Also, there is one more piece of news for you." Dugu Bo continued, "Old me led a team to the far north some time ago to help that girl Bing'er obtain her fifth spirit ring, and on the way back, I found a super spirit beast, and I can guarantee that its cultivation is definitely more than 100,000 years old."

"What!?" Bibi Dong's expression suddenly changed, and Chrysanthemum Douluo, who was sitting on the left side, exclaimed in shock.

"That kind of energy fluctuation, even the sky phenomenon has changed due to it, there is absolutely no mistake." Dugu Bo nodded his head with a grave expression, "The one I helped Bing'er hunt was a 10,000-year-old Ice Jade Scorpion, because the Ice Jade Scorpion is a group-dwelling spirit beast, and our location back then was close to the core of the Extreme North, and the environment was too harsh, hence I chose to knock that Ice Jade Scorpion out in preparation for dragging it to the periphery and then killing it."

"At that time, the direction I was flying with the team was southeast, and soon after I sensed a sudden riot of energy behind me, and when I looked back, the sky was dyed a turquoise colour, and it was moving at a very fast speed to the southwest." He said, shaking his head lightly in fear.

"If it hadn't chased in the wrong direction and we ran far enough, we probably wouldn't have been able to come back."

"If our expectations are correct, it should be the Ice Jade Scorpion clan's leader."

At this moment, Lin Manshan chimed in, "Your Holiness, I once read a description in an ancient book that once a spirit beast's cultivation level breaks through 100,000 years, about a few hundred years later, it will encounter a heavenly lightning tribulation. After surviving the thunder tribulation, they will be able to extend their lifespan and continue their cultivation, and if they fail, they will be annihilated, and generally only Spirit Beasts with extremely powerful bloodlines will have the chance to survive, which can be called ten deaths without a chance of survival."

"And after crossing two thunder tribulations, their cultivation will be able to break through 200,000 years, becoming the so-called ferocious beasts."

"After that, every increase of one hundred thousand years of cultivation will require a confrontation with a thunder tribulation, and once the cultivation breaks through the million-year level, it will be able to break the shackles of the bloodline and become a legendary divine beast. In addition, transforming into a human and re-cultivating is also a way for a spirit beast to cultivate into a divine beast."

"Therefore, Junior guessed at that time that Ice Jade Scorpion was definitely a super spirit beast that had survived the Thunder Tribulation."

"As for exactly how many times it has passed through the thunder tribulation, there's no way to tell."

Such a ferocious spirit beast, Bibi Dong, don't you have any thoughts? He thought inwardly, that the reason why he chose to reveal this information was to divert Bibi Dong's attention and delay the Spirit Hunting Plan. With the heritage of the Martial Spirit Hall, if they were to search the Star Dou Great Forest extensively, it would be very likely that they would still be able to find the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python. Spirit Beasts whose spirit bones and spirit rings he coveted.

However, he wasn't exactly fooling Bibi Dong.

The Snow Emperor and Ice Emperor both possessed ultimate ice attributes and were not suited to be Bibi Dong's spirit rings. However, the Ice Devil Titan and the Ice Bear King were still fine, both had a power attribute bias and were not in conflict with Bibi Dong's martial soul.

It was just that they were harder to kill compared to the Da Ming and Er Ming in the Star Dou Great Forest.

However, if the Elder Palace's Worships and the Qian Daoliu could step in to help stall the Snow Emperor and the Ice Emperor, there would still be a chance. At that time, as long as there was a fight, the Ice Devil Titan and the Ice Bear King would definitely be involved, and Bibi Dong would be able to see them both at that time, and he didn't believe that Bibi Dong would fail to think about them.

"All in all, in the future, you guys should be careful when you go out to look for Immortal Herbs." Dugu Bo concluded, "I don't know if there are any other such super spirit beasts hidden on this continent. If you accidentally run into one, it would be really bad luck. However, I have a hunch that these super spirit beasts that have been struck by lightning should all be very afraid of death and won't run out to clash with humans."

"Otherwise, it's impossible that we haven't heard of even one on the continent for so many years."

"No wonder there are so few 100,000-year-old spirit beasts on the continent, they have either been killed by lightning, or they are hiding and cultivating to cope with the next tribulation." Chrysanthemum Douluo smacked his lips and sighed, then raised an eyebrow, "So, those who choose to re-cultivate as a human being are those who know that their bloodline can't bear the lightning strikes?"

"That should be the case." Dugu Bo nodded his head deeply.

"Young friend Lin, I don't know if you've kept that ancient book?" Bibi Dong suddenly asked.

"Your Holiness, in fact, that ancient book is related to that person, it's a book that introduces spirit beasts, there's only a small introduction in it, I stole it out to read it." Lin Manshan's tone was tinged with a hint of embarrassment, "However, that person seemed to have discarded it, and it was only by accident that the junior glimpsed it in the corner of the bookshelf, which was covered in dust and badly damaged. The reason why I paid attention to it was because the pages were old. Many of the spirit beasts recorded in it are extinct, that person probably didn't read further because he didn't think it had much reference value."

"I didn't have a spirit tool at the time, so I flipped it over twice before some of the pages fragmented, and then I had to throw it away."

'Damn, it must be that Yu Xiaogang stole it out from the Martial Spirit Hall's Book Pavilion back then, it is estimated that he only succeeded with the help of Bibi Dong, other people don't have that authority.' Chrysanthemum Douluo glanced at Bibi Dong with his afterglow, and the words he wanted to say got stuck in his throat.

I was wondering why Lin Manshan chose to go to the Spirit Forest alone to obtain a spirit ring back then, it turns out that he had peeked at that guy's book collection on spirit beast knowledge. Now, it seems that those who steal books are more knowledgeable than those who collect them. Yu Xiaogang is also a true waste. Ghost Douluo did not budge and glanced at Lin Manshan, with the strength of Yu Xiaogang, as long as you find the right opportunity, it is really not difficult to sneak into the room and read the books.

According to his initial investigation, Nuoding Academy instructors and students are living in a dormitory, but Yu Xiaogang lives in the corner of the top floor.

This ancient book Yu Xiaogang stole from the Book Pavilion in the past, unexpectedly he didn't even mention it to me. Bibi Dong's gaze turned cold, in the past, Yu Xiaogang did borrow a lot of books from the Book Pavilion of the Martial Spirit Hall with her help.

Dugu Bo seemed to have picked up on her emotions and faintly said: ''Speaking of which, that guy is quite miserable these days. Not only was his martial soul abolished, but he also fell off his horse on the way back to meet up with the troops, his limbs, buttocks, and face were all bruised, and his left hand was fractured in the fall. Coincidentally, halfway there, he also got caught in the rain, causing the wound to become infected and pus-filled, and his life was hanging in by a thread when the sergeant saw him."

"Finally it was my grandson-in-law who made a move to save his life, however, it was too late to treat him, the infections had been in the body for a long time, and had already affected the five organs and six bowels, and his body functions had declined drastically, and his lifespan had been damaged. Now not only does he look ten years older, but he also has scars all over his body, and his appearance is ruined. However, not only does that guy not remember my grandson-in-law's grace of saving his life, they even came to my door this morning, blaming my grandson-in-law for not fixing the scar."

"The key is that my grandson-in-law didn't receive payment when he saved his life, he just let that guy come privately to apologise for what happened back then. Heh, as a result, good people don't get good rewards."

"That's why I've changed the requirement, it has to be a public apology. This is something that you guys can also be witnesses as well."

"I have a feeling that guy will definitely be unwilling."

"But it doesn't matter, he's already a complete cripple anyway, and he won't live for many years."

He's a man who cherishes his reputation like his life, so it's only strange if he would be willing to do so. Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo both thought darkly in unison.

"This kind of thin-skinned person is only getting what he deserves now, Coronet Dugu does not need to be in a bad mood because of this." Bibi Dong's tone was flat, then she slightly nodded and saluted, politely saying, "The matter of the Super Spirit Beast, I would like to thank Coronet for informing me of it, I will have the people below be careful."

After saying that, she slowly stood up.

"Since the matter of the Clear Sky Clan has been discussed, then, I would like to ask Coronet Dugu to stay here for a while next."

Saying that, she turned her head to look at Lin Manshan, "Young friend Lin, the impurity present in my body involves a personal secret, so I request for you to follow me into the inner hall alone and diagnose me."

"Alright!" Lin Manshan nodded and stood up from his seat.

"Elder Chrysanthemum, Elder Ghost, the two of you help me entertain Coronet Dugu outside." Bibi Dong added.

"Yes!" The two of them hurriedly got up and answered.

After Lin Manshan followed Bibi Dong into the inner hall, Ghost Douluo immediately arched his hand and spoke.

"Brother Dugu, can you describe in detail the process in which you encountered that super spirit beast?"

"It's fine, there's nothing to do right now anyway." Dugu Bo nodded and turned on storytelling mode.

On the other hand, in the inner hall, Bibi Dong brought Lin Manshan to the table and reached out to gesture over the wooden table.

"Young friend Lin, please take a seat."

"Your Highness, Pope, just address the junior, Ah Man." Lin Manshan arched his hand and sat down as he spoke.

"Good." Bibi Dong nodded slightly and bent down to sit down, then said, "Ah Man, truth be told, the fact that there is such an impurity in my body is all because I had once devoured the soul and flesh of a fire-attribute spirit beast to experiment with the Soul Devouring Spider Emperor Martial Soul ability."

"Devouring a soul?!" Lin Manshan duly displayed an expression of surprise.

"That's right." Bibi Dong nodded slightly without budging.

"No wonder the form of that impurity was that odd." Lin Manshan made a contemplative demeanour and then frowned slightly.

Bibi Dong followed with a slight frown and questioned out loud, "Are there any difficulties?"

Lin Manshan nodded his head, his face showing embarrassment, "I'm not hiding it from you, your Holiness the Pope, I know nothing about something like a soul."

"Perhaps this herb can be used as a reference." Bibi Dong said as she opened her right palm and a herb appeared in her hand, "This is the Ten Thousand Years Sacred Soul Grass, and according to Elder Chrysanthemum, it has the effect of awakening and nourishing the soul."

While saying that, she placed it on the table.

"Surprisingly, there is such a strange herb." Lin Manshan was taken aback and curiously stretched out his right hand to urge his 'spirit power' to probe, honestly, he had never really seen it before.

There were still differences between soul power and a soul, so there was no need to worry that Bibi Dong would discern something.

The fluctuation of this spirit power is so strange. Bibi Dong was also inwardly surprised.

After a short while, Lin Manshan withdrew his right hand and uttered an exclamation, "Herbs with such peculiar medicinal properties are simply unheard of." Saying that, he raised his head to look at Bibi Dong, with delicate features and an unrivalled temperament, she is indeed beautiful to the point of smoking.

"I would like to request your Holiness to provide a drop of blood as well."

Bibi Dong nodded, and without hesitation flicked her index finger, a splash of blood seeped out of her pores instantly.

It levitated and floated in front of Lin Manshan.

Lin Manshan reached out his right hand to receive it and then reached out his left hand to approach the Sacred Soul Grass, both palms simultaneously surged with greenness, feeling them carefully. Not long after, he slowly opened his eyes.

"Indeed it is effective at suppressing, perhaps we can give it a try. However, other herbs are needed to neutralise the medicinal properties."

"In addition, Your Holiness, the junior also needs a place where the pills can be refined."

"There is an alchemy room where Chrysanthemum Douluo lives, and as for the medicinal herbs, you can use all the reserves of the Martial Spirit Hall as much as you want." Bibi Dong returned.

"In that case, I can refine it immediately." Lin Manshan arched his hand, "The medicinal herb combination, the junior has been thinking of ways to cope with it since back then, and has had a clue in his mind for a long time, only that he has been struggling to find the medicinal herbs to cope with this unknown soul energy."

It was unexpected that Lin Manshan had been thinking of ways in the past. Perhaps it was this spirit of seeking and resolving difficulties that allowed this child's medical skills to reach such a level today. A trace of admiration rose within Bibi Dong, and she smiled faintly, "There is no rush in this matter!"

"???" Lin Manshan's brain was immediately filled with question marks.

If the matter of life is not an emergency, then for what would you rush?

Then he heard Bibi Dong speak out once again, "Ah Man, I wonder what you think of the Martial Spirit Hall as of today?"
