"Yes."
Ye Qifeng nodded, then said:
"Not only Elder Ghost ate the celestial herbs, but Little Ruiwen and Sister Erlong also ate them."
"What? Little Ruiwen and Sister Erlong ate it too?"
Qian Renxue exclaimed in surprise, and after a moment, she suddenly realized:
"No, Xiao Feng, where did you get so many rare medicinal herbs?"
"Remember the Poison Douluo Dugu Bo I asked you to help gather information? This is what I got in exchange for him."
Afterwards, Ye Qifeng recounted to her in great detail everything, from using his poison skills to exchange for the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well and the immortal herbs from Dugu Bo, to subduing Dugu Bo and his grandson Dugu Yan, and the matter of Ruiwen and Liu Erlong consuming the immortal herbs.
"So all those rare medicinal herbs came from Dugu Bo? And you even subdued that grandfather and grandson?... "
Qian Renxue was stunned after hearing this.
"Yeah, it's alright."
Gazing at Qian Renxue's blank face, Ye Qifeng's lips curled into a smile, and he showed off with a hint of smugness.
After a long while, Qian Renxue came to her senses, as if she had thought of something. She raised her eyes, her gaze clear, and looked at Ye Qifeng, suddenly asking:
"Xiao Feng, how did you know that Dugu Bo possessed such a treasure land as the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well and so many celestial herbs? It seems you already knew, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't have asked me to help you find out about Dugu Bo from the very beginning."
"this……"
Ye Qifeng paused for a moment, thinking to himself that this little Xue'er was really smart. After a little thought, she understood that my purpose from the beginning was to get those two things in Dugu Bo's hands.
As for how I knew Dugu Bo possessed the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well and celestial herbs, how could I tell you? Were I supposed to tell you that I'm actually a reincarnated person? And possibly have lived three lifetimes? ...
That won't do.
Left with no other option, Ye Qifeng could only tell her, "Heavenly secrets cannot be revealed!"
Just give her a vague answer.
"Hmph, just say it if you don't want to talk about it."
Qian Renxue rolled her eyes and gave a soft snort.
"It's not that I can't tell you, it's just that the time isn't right yet. Next time, I'll definitely tell you everything next time."
Ye Qifeng's lips twitched, and he gave a somewhat awkward smile.
"All right."
Qian Renxue pursed her lips, but did not press the matter further.
She had known for a long time that Ye Qifeng had a secret. Although she really wanted to uncover all of his secrets, she decided against it.
Since Ye Qifeng didn't want to talk about it, she stopped asking and didn't intend to get to the bottom of it.
She wanted Ye Qifeng to reveal the secret willingly and voluntarily, rather than revealing it under her questioning and coercion; that would be more surprising and give her a greater sense of accomplishment.
After a moment's hesitation, Qian Renxue looked earnestly at Ye Qifeng and said softly to him:
"Anyway, Xiaofeng, if you need anything, remember to tell me, and I'll help you."
"Okay! I will."
Ye Qifeng paused slightly, remained silent for a second, then suddenly remembered something he had asked Qian Renxue to investigate, and asked:
"By the way, Xue'er, have you found out anything about the whereabouts of the Vast Ocean Universe Cover, the national treasure I asked you to investigate in the collection of the Heaven Dou Royal Family?"
Upon hearing the question, Qian Renxue first nodded, then shook her head:
"The Heavenly Dou royal family does indeed possess something called the Vast Ocean Universe Cover, but its exact location is currently unknown."
"But one thing is certain."
"Since it is listed as the national treasure of the Heaven Dou Empire, if I'm not mistaken, it must be stored in the Heaven Dou royal family's treasury, that is, the national treasury."
"However, the national treasury is still in the hands of Emperor Xueye and has not been handed over to me, so I have no way to enter the national treasury to check it."
"I see."
Ye Qifeng rested his chin on his hand, lost in thought.
His original plan was that if Qian Renxue had already discovered the exact location of the Vast Ocean Universe Cover, he would take that thing with him when he came to find Qian Renxue.
After all, that thing contained a wisp of divine consciousness of some dirty thing, which was always a hidden danger and a scourge for Qian Renxue, who was lurking in the Heaven Dou Empire.
In addition, the Vast Ocean Universe Cover was also a great opportunity for that bastard Tang San.
Taking this thing away is also to cut off his opportunity in advance, so that he won't get it easily.
The problem is that Qian Renxue has not yet found out its exact whereabouts, only that it is roughly stored in the national treasury.
Even if Ye Qifeng wanted to take the Vast Ocean Universe Cover with him, it would probably be quite difficult.
Even if he could infiltrate the Heavenly Dou royal treasury, the time it would take to search it would be considerable.
I think I'll just give up on it for now.
It doesn't matter anyway.
It's the same if we take it away next time we come, as long as we take it away before that bastard Tang San gets it.
Thinking of this, Ye Qifeng smiled casually, looked at Qian Renxue, and said with a slight smile:
"It's alright. But I'll still need to trouble you, Xue'er, to continue investigating the whereabouts of the Vast Ocean Universe Cover. Once you've confirmed its exact location, remember to let me know so I can go and take it away."
"Okay, I understand."
Qian Renxue nodded slightly, then asked curiously:
"Xiao Feng, what do you need that thing for?"
"As far as I know, although the Vast Ocean Universe Cover is known as a national treasure, it seems to have no other use besides looking somewhat mysterious and strange. The Heavenly Dou royal family has had it for many years, but no one knows what use it is; it can only be used as a decoration."
"No, Xue'er, you're wrong."
Ye Qifeng shook his head slightly and said:
"The Vast Ocean Universe Cover is not just a decorative object; it holds a great secret."
"Does the Vast Ocean Universe Cover hold a secret?"
Qian Renxue was stunned for a moment, then tilted her head to look at him.
Ye Qifeng nodded to her, and then said affirmatively:
"The Vast Ocean Universe Cover has a remarkable origin; its true identity is actually the core of a divine artifact."
"The core of the divine artifact?"
Qian Renxue suddenly stood up straight, unable to sit still any longer.
"Yes."
Ye Qifeng nodded slightly, smiling as he looked at the dumbfounded Qian Renxue, and then said:
"To be precise, the Vast Ocean Universe Cover is a part of a divine artifact, and the grade of that divine artifact is equivalent to the Angelic Holy Sword, a divine artifact worshipped by your Thousand Angel Clan."
"However, the Vast Ocean Universe Cover is not a product native to the Douluo Continent. It comes from the endless sea in the western part of the continent and was deliberately placed on the continent by a shameless god in order to find talented geniuses to cultivate as seeds and successors."
"Ah, this..."
Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue was so shocked that she was completely stunned and didn't know what to say for a moment.
After a long silence, she finally came to her senses, and then her eyes suddenly lit up as she looked at Ye Qifeng and said urgently:
"Xiao Feng, since that so-called Vast Ocean Universe Cover is a core component of a divine artifact, and also something used to select seeds and successors, what are we waiting for? Let's go and take it with us!"
"How can such a valuable item be left to gather dust in the Heaven Dou royal family's treasury? It must be put to use by our Spirit Hall!"
"Cough cough! Xue'er, calm down."
Faced with Qian Renxue's sudden urgency, Ye Qifeng coughed twice and gently shook his head at her:
"I want to take the Vast Ocean Universe Cover, not to use it for our Spirit Hall."
"Huh? No? Then what is it for?"
Qian Renxue paused for a moment, then asked, somewhat puzzled.
"I'm here to destroy it!"
Ye Qifeng smiled, but his words were filled with murderous intent, sending chills down one's spine.
"To destroy, to destroy it?"
Qian Renxue seemed not to have heard clearly. Her red lips trembled unconsciously as she repeated herself. The next moment, she suddenly exclaimed:
"What?! Xiao Feng, you actually want to destroy it? Wasn't it said that the Vast Ocean Universe Cover is the core of a divine artifact? Obtaining it might give you a chance to receive the inheritance of a god. Isn't it too much of a waste to destroy it?"
"Wouldn't it be better to take it and use it for the Spirit Hall to train our talents?"
"I'm afraid that won't work!"
Ye Qifeng shook his head again.
Why?
Qian Renxue was somewhat confused.
"As I just mentioned, the Vast Ocean Universe Cover was deliberately placed in Douluo Continent by some shameless god."
Night Wind reminded him.
"Xiao Feng, are you saying that the deity behind the Vast Ocean Universe Cover is not a good thing? And that the existence of the Vast Ocean Universe Cover itself is some kind of conspiracy and scheme, harboring ulterior motives?"
Qian Renxue frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and finally understood the meaning behind Ye Qifeng's words.
"Xue'er, you are so intelligent, you understand things so quickly."
Ye Qifeng first praised Qian Renxue, and then said to her:
"Think about it, who was the god who became a god in the endless sea in the western part of Douluo Continent? And whose territory is Douluo Continent? How did these two gods become gods?"
"Once you can figure out these three questions, you'll understand why the Vast Ocean Universe Cover appeared in Douluo Continent and why I advocate destroying it."
"The western part of the continent? The endless sea?"
Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue pondered for a moment and murmured softly:
"It seems that only the god called the Sea God became a god in the endless sea, and the Sea God Island in the depths of the sea seems to be the power he left behind. The endless sea is now under the control of the Sea God Island."
"As for the Douluo Continent, it is naturally the territory of the God Ancestor, the Angel God. If the God Ancestor, the Angel God, had not appeared out of nowhere and single-handedly suppressed evil spirits, restored peace to the world, and ended the continent's ten thousand years of darkness and turmoil, there would be no relatively stable situation today. Moreover, the Spirit Hall, which the Angel God later established, has protected the Douluo Continent for more than ten thousand years."
"As for how the two deities became gods..."
Qian Renxue paused, frowning as she pondered carefully:
"Legend has it that the God Ancestor, the Angel God, gained immense merit by suppressing evil spirits and ending turmoil. He was respected and loved by all the people of Douluo Continent. After gaining faith in him, he achieved godhood by consolidating that faith."
"The path that the Sea God took seems to be similar to that of the God Ancestor Angel God, who also achieved godhood by gathering faith and ultimately became a god."
"However, the Sea God's faith is limited to the endless sea, and his followers are limited to the sea spirit masters and sea spirit beasts of the endless sea... So what does He intend to do by bringing the Vast Ocean Universe Cover to the Douluo Continent?"
"Is it simply about finding gifted geniuses and training successors?"
"Shouldn't they find a sea spirit master with the same background as Him to be His successor? Shouldn't a sea spirit master be more suitable as His successor? What kind of nonsense is it to come to Douluo Continent and find a land spirit master as His successor?"
Thinking of this, Qian Renxue's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, and suddenly she remembered something:
"Speaking of which, the Spirit Hall once tried to conquer the endless sea, but ended up failing miserably because of the existence of Seagod Island. The Spirit Hall's naval fleet was defeated by Seagod Island, suffering heavy casualties, with only a few hundred people surviving."
"Could it be because of this incident that the Spirit Hall has incurred the Sea God's wrath?"
She quickly dismissed this simplistic notion:
"No, it can't be that simple."
"The Sea God is a deity, so he wouldn't personally intervene for the sake of his subordinates. Besides, He has already ascended to the divine realm, and matters in the mortal realm will be handled by the forces and believers there."
"But the Sea God deliberately brought the core of the divine artifact to the Douluo Continent. Without His instruction, the believers on Sea God Island would not have dared to do so. Even if they wanted to, they couldn't, because they simply couldn't dismantle the divine artifact. Only the owner of the divine artifact has the ability to dismantle it at will."
"So, the Sea God, residing in the God Realm, is reaching out to the Douluo Continent—what is he trying to do?"
Having pondered this far, Qian Renxue had vaguely sensed the truth, but something was still missing, and her thoughts suddenly stalled.
"You can think about what conditions enabled the Angel God and the Sea God to become gods and gain power."
Hearing Qian Renxue's soft murmur and noticing that her thoughts suddenly got stuck, Ye Qifeng gave her a timely reminder.
"Faith! Yes, faith!"
Qian Renxue suddenly realized, exclaimed, and grabbed Ye Qifeng's arm, saying excitedly:
"The sea god's purpose is for faith, isn't it?"
Feeling the tight grip on his arm, Ye Qifeng hissed and glared at her irritably:
"Xue'er, why are you so excited? That filthy thing wants to steal the faith of your Thousand Angel Gods, to undermine the foundation of the Angel Gods. How can you be happy about that?"
Qian Renxue was stunned for a moment, then her face filled with anger:
"Xiao Feng, let's go find that damn Vast Ocean Universe Cover right now, and ruthlessly destroy it, crush its bones and scatter its ashes, don't leave it even a trace."
"Whether it's a god or some filthy thing, it dares to extend its reach into Douluo Continent, coveting the faith foundation of the God Ancestor, the Angel God. Then don't blame us for destroying its divine artifact core..."
After saying that, Qian Renxue took Ye Qifeng's hand and, without saying another word, started to walk out of the secret room.
This moment.
Qian Renxue no longer harbored any intention of stealing the Vast Ocean Universe Cover and making it the property of the Spirit Hall.
She's completely focused on this now.
I just want to eliminate this hidden danger completely as soon as possible.
