"Did Sect Master Ning really agree to such an outrageous request?" Qian Renxue asked with some uncertainty.
"Yes, I've already discussed it with Teacher."
Li Xun touched his cheek, not expecting that he would be taken advantage of by Qian Renxue just by coming to discuss cooperation.
What a loss...
"But a 100,000 Year Spirit Ring isn't easy to absorb. Without the corresponding physical strength, one would simply explode and die."
Qian Renxue pondered for a moment: "Can your body withstand such immense energy?"
After saying this, Qian Renxue looked Li Xun up and down.
She had previously heard that he had already obtained his fifth Spirit Ring, but she didn't know the specifics of the Soul Beast or its age.
Qian Renxue had marveled at Li Xun's talent, being able to advance to Soul King at the age of fourteen. She hadn't expected that today's meeting would bring her another shocking revelation.
She had considered the possibility that Li Xun was lying to her, but quickly dismissed the thought. They would be interacting for more than just a day or two, and there was no need nor possibility for him to deceive her.
Qian Renxue's thoughts churned, trying to stabilize her emotions.
But she inadvertently noticed Li Xun's hand movements.
Qian Renxue was startled, and in no time, her face flushed red. She remembered what had happened between them in such close proximity.
"No problem, my fifth ring is already close to seventy or eighty thousand years."
Li Xun looked at Qian Renxue's flushed face and coughed lightly. He put down his hand, picked up the tea on the table, and drank it in one gulp to hide the smile at the corner of his mouth.
He would continue to raise the stakes, increasing his value in Qian Renxue's eyes.
As long as he displayed enough talent, Qian Renxue, given her personality, would spare no effort to support him.
Qian Renxue was stunned and murmured, "Your fifth Spirit Ring is already close to seventy or eighty thousand years?"
"So, am I qualified to absorb a 100,000 Year Spirit Ring?" Li Xun asked with a smile, looking at Qian Renxue.
Qian Renxue snapped out of her daze and rolled her eyes at Li Xun.
This Junior Brother of hers was truly extraordinary.
Qian Renxue thought about Li Xun's previous Spirit Rings. She had only known that he had absorbed them beyond the limit, but she hadn't thought much about it.
Now it seemed that he wasn't just surpassing the limits of a Soul Master, but the limits of humanity itself. Even their clan's God-level Spirit, the Angel, wouldn't dare take such risks when absorbing Spirit Rings.
But this was good too. The stronger Li Xun was, the stronger the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School would be. She would also have a powerful subordinate.
"Alright, but which 100,000 Year Soul Beast are you planning to hunt?"
Qian Renxue's smile blossomed like the morning sun, dispelling the earlier gloom.
"The Titan Giant Ape from the Star Dou Great Forest or the Titan Snow Devil King from the Far North Land."
Li Xun furrowed his brows, his fingers unconsciously tapping on the table. He was also somewhat undecided.
The Titan Snow Devil King from the Far North Land had a high cultivation level and held an absolute advantage in the icy terrain.
Moreover, its cultivation level was extremely high. It must be at least a hundred thousand years old, if not two hundred thousand. Absorbing it would be very risky.
But the Titan Giant Ape wasn't easy to deal with either. Although its cultivation level wasn't as high as other 100,000 Year Soul Beasts, its bloodline gave it extraordinary strength, and it was accustomed to fighting above its level. Most importantly, it had an elder brother.
These two Soul Beasts were like conjoined twins; it would be difficult to deal with them without sufficient manpower.
On their side, there was no powerhouse like Bibidong who could single-handedly take on two 100,000 Year Soul Beasts.
One was alone but strong, while the other had to withstand the pressure of facing two 100,000 Year Soul Beasts.
"The Far North Land?" Qian Renxue raised an eyebrow.
The Spirit Hall had records of the Soul Beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest, and she was also familiar with that Titan Giant Ape.
But the Far North Land was no ordinary place.
That region was known as a forbidden zone for humans, perpetually covered in ice and snow, with extreme temperatures that made it nearly impossible for humans to set foot there.
Moreover, there were quite a few Soul Beasts that thrived in such an environment.
Without human interference, the Soul Beasts of the Far North Land were undoubtedly much stronger than those in ordinary regions.
"Junior Brother Li Xun, the Far North Land is too dangerous. I think we should choose the Titan Giant Ape instead."
Qian Renxue recalled the situation in the Far North Land and turned her gaze to Li Xun, who was still frowning.
Compared to facing two 100,000 Year Soul Beasts, the unknown was far more terrifying.
At worst, she could return to Spirit City and request more Title Douluos. Compared to the previous condition set by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Qian Renxue believed her grandfather would agree to her request.
Got it!
"Sister Xue, there's still plenty of time, so there's no need to rush for now."
Li Xun's eyes lit up, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "I already have an idea, but it depends on whether the next part of the plan can succeed."
If his plan worked, five Title Douluos would be enough; having more people would only increase the risk.
If anything unexpected happened, the three Douluos on their side could still suppress the two elders from the Spirit Hall.

"Alright then, we'll discuss it when the time comes."
Seeing Li Xun's confident expression, Qian Renxue smiled softly.
She knew her Junior Brother was full of ideas. She was curious to see what kind of surprise he would bring her when the time came.
At the foot of the mountain near the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy, outside Heavenly Dou City.
"Xiao Xun, isn't it risky to reveal the truth to that girl?"
Since they still had some things to discuss, Sword Douluo and Li Xun strolled along the mountain path at the foot of the academy.
"It's fine, Sword Grandpa."
Li Xun shook his head with a smile: "I've carefully analyzed her personality. The more impressive I appear, the more help she will provide us."
When dealing with Qian Renxue, one must never hide their abilities.
For someone who admires strength, if you don't perform well, she won't even bother with you.
The best approach is to keep growing stronger, to amaze her and make her stand in awe.
"As long as you have a plan, that's good. If anything goes wrong, we'll protect you," Sword Douluo nodded.
Whether someone can become a powerhouse depends not only on their talent but also on avoiding premature demise.
Although their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was about to join the Spirit Hall.
There were currently two factions within the Spirit Hall, and who knew if one of them might develop ulterior motives out of fear of their strength.
"Stop right there, you traitor!"
Just as Li Xun and Sword Douluo were chatting, a loud shout from ahead caught their attention.
"You've been following me all this way. What exactly do you want?"
A voice filled with helplessness came through, sounding somewhat impatient.
"Didn't I tell you? The Young Master is at the Blue Lightning Academy. Come with me to see the Young Master."
Perhaps sensing the other party's impatience, the previous voice grew louder.
"What Young Master? That's your Young Master, not mine. Our Breaking Clan no longer wants to have anything to do with the Clear Sky Sect."
"It's Yang Qianjun."
Li Xun and Sword Douluo exchanged glances and quickly quickened their pace.
