The Number One Artifact Soul in the World

Chapter 29 The Number One Artifact Soul Under Heaven

Before we knew it, January had passed, and August was still hot.

Just as Qian Daoliu said, Ye Jingqiu's body has recovered, but a lightning bolt mark remains on her chest.

Like slender tree branches, pale blue marks left very obvious marks on her jade-like skin.

When Chunshui was getting Ye Jingqiu's skirt, she inadvertently caught a glimpse of the mark on her chest. "Miss, I'll go ask the doctor to get you the best scar removal medicine. It will definitely not leave any marks on your body."

Ye Jingqiu glanced casually in the mirror and said nonchalantly, "No need to bother, it's no big deal."

She paused for a moment and then asked, "Where is the High Priest?"

"Miss, just change your clothes and come with me."

A month has passed since she was injured and brought back to the Hall of Offerings by the High Priest. Apart from the High Priest asking her at the beginning if she was willing to stay in the Hall of Offerings, the two have not seen each other since.

This morning, Qian Daoliu sent someone to find Ye Jingqiu, asking her to go and see him as soon as possible.

Ye Jingqiu didn't dare to waste any time. After quickly tidying up, he followed Chunshui to find Qian Daoliu.

Perhaps because Qian Daoliu was a level 99 peerless Douluo, one of the top soul masters in the Douluo Continent, Ye Jingqiu felt inexplicably nervous at this moment.

Outside the main hall, Ye Jingqiu took a deep breath before following Chunshui over.

In the center of the main hall, Qian Daoliu, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, dressed in white clothes and black trousers, stood with his back to him, his hands with distinct knuckles tending to the flowers and plants in front of him.

Ye Jingqiu was slightly taken aback, then spoke, "Grand Elder, I..."

Before Ye Jingqiu could finish speaking, two figures suddenly appeared before him. "Holy Maiden—"

Ye Jingqiu was somewhat taken aback. "Uncle Ju, Uncle Gui?"

Yue Guan nodded slightly, his eyes full of worry. He circled around Ye Jingqiu, checking her over from head to toe, and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that she was alright.

"His Holiness the Pope was very worried about you, but because there were important matters to attend to at the Spirit Hall, he sent the two of us to check on you first."

Ye Jingqiu nodded vigorously. "How is Auntie?"

The ghost said, "Don't worry, everything is peaceful in the Spirit Hall, and His Majesty the Pope is doing well."

"What about Grandma Li?" Ye Jingqiu asked, looking at the ghost with a worried expression.

Ghost hesitated for a moment, and was about to speak when Yue Guan spoke first, "Grandma Li is doing well too. You can stay here and cultivate with the Grand Elder without worry. The academy has also arranged a long leave for you."

As he spoke, he took advantage of Ye Jingqiu's inattention to tug at the hem of Gui Mei's clothes, "We just came to see you, to make sure you've recovered. The task His Majesty the Pope entrusted to us can be considered complete, so we'll be leaving now."

After saying this, Yue Guan and Gui Mei turned around and bowed respectfully to Qian Daoliu, saying, "Grand Elder, we will not disturb you any longer."

Qian Daoliu seemed unconcerned, merely waving his hand casually, his attention seemingly entirely focused on the potted flower in his hand.

Yue Guan and Gui Mei's movements were so fluid and seamless that Ye Jingqiu had no time to react. As they passed by, the two nodded to her and then quickly left.

By the time Ye Jingqiu realized what was happening, only she and Qian Daoliu remained in the room.

A full half hour passed, and Qian Daoliu continued to fiddle with the flowers in his hands, as if he had forgotten about Ye Jingqiu's existence.

Ye Jingqiu showed no sign of urgency. Her gaze fell on Qian Daoliu's hands. Under the sunlight, his skin appeared even whiter and more lustrous than jade. His hands had distinct bones, and he was holding scissors to prune tree branches.

Ye Jingqiu stared at him, momentarily lost in thought.

Qian Daoliu turned around. Today she was wearing a light blue long dress that reached her ankles. She had black hair, golden eyes, and an oval face. She looked very soft and gentle, without any aggression.

However, her clear eyes remained fixed on his hand. Qian Daoliu frowned slightly. She looked harmless, but she didn't seem like the next Pope of the Spirit Hall at all.

Ye Jingqiu only slowly came to her senses when Qian Daoliu put his hands behind his back. She was startled and her ears turned red instantly. "Great Elder."

Qian Daoliu nodded slightly. "You're a control-type Soul Master?"

Ye Jingqiu nodded.

"Your martial soul is the Soul-Capturing Bell. What do you know about the Soul-Capturing Bell being a martial soul?"

Ye Jingqiu shook his head. "I heard that my father's martial soul was the Soul-Capturing Bell, but my father passed away before I was born. Over the years, I have been searching for people with the same martial soul as me, but I have not found any yet."

"I don't actually know much about the Soul-Capturing Bell spirit. It was His Holiness the Pope who told me about becoming a control-type spirit master." Ye Jingqiu said with a bitter smile, "When I was in the academy, I encountered many top-tier spirits. Compared to their spirits, the Soul-Capturing Bell is really not worth mentioning."

Qian Daoliu looked at Ye Jingqiu thoughtfully, "It seems your aunt didn't tell you."

The latest novel is first published here!

Ye Jingqiu was taken aback, then looked up at Qian Daoliu, his eyes filled with confusion. "What do you mean by that, Grand Elder?"

Do you know what the number one weapon spirit in the world is?

Upon hearing this, Ye Jingqiu secretly glanced at Qian Daoliu, unsure whether he should continue speaking.

She had heard Yue Guan talk about the past of the Spirit Hall, including its former pope, Qian Xunji, who was also her aunt's teacher.

He was killed by Tang Hao, the Haotian Douluo, a disciple of the Haotian Sect who possessed the most powerful artifact in the world, and the youngest Title Douluo in the history of the Douluo Continent.

And this number one artifact spirit in the world is the Haotian Hammer of the Haotian Sect.

The deceased former pope, Qian Xunji, was the son of Qian Daoliu.

Qian Daoliu glanced at her and said casually, "As your current teacher, I want to tell you that I don't want to say the same thing a second time."

Although Qian Daoliu's tone was calm, Ye Jingqiu still felt a chill for some reason. She quickly said, "I understand, Grand Elder."

She paused for a moment, then said, "The number one artifact in the world is the Haotian Hammer of the Haotian Sect." After saying that, she secretly observed Qian Daoliu's expression.

Ye Jingqiu breathed a sigh of relief after noticing that his expression had not changed at all.

Qian Daoliu spoke calmly, "Everyone knows the Haotian Sect, but no one knows about your Soul-Capturing Bell."

Upon hearing this, Ye Jingqiu was stunned, and then looked at Qian Daoliu in disbelief. It seemed that he meant that the Soul-Capturing Bell was not an ordinary martial soul.

"There are seven major sects in Douluo Continent. Among them, the top three are Haotian Sect, Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect."

"Among them, the Clear Sky Sect possesses the world's number one weapon spirit, the Clear Sky Hammer; the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect possesses the world's number one support-type spirit, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda; and the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Sect possesses the world's number one beast spirit, the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex."
