Kapitel 52: Ghost and Chrysanthemum
**Chapter 52: Ghost and Chrysanthemum**
"Teacher!"
"This is a fragment of an image I found in the library. It seems to contain the Immortal Herbs that Teacher Yue Guan told me about!"
"Teacher, I want to go look for it!"
Half a month later, Gu Ziyi met Qian Xunji and took out a simple, leftover image.
"What kind of Immortal Herb?"
Qian Xunji was a bit surprised, then took the remnant image from Gu Ziyi's hands and looked closely at it.
There was a vaguely painted red and blue pool in the center of the image remnant, with several plants that seemed to emit a faint light.
On the back of the image was depicted a setting sun.
"It's the Immortal Herb that Teacher Yue Guan told me about. It's a treasure that has the potential to improve my talent!"
"Teacher, I must go search for it!"
Gu Ziyi looked at Qian Xunji and spoke again, with a firm tone.
Yes, after realizing he couldn't go alone to Sunset Forest, he directly chose to use the power of the Martial Soul Hall for himself.
After all, he was the disciple of the Pope of the Martial Soul Hall. It would be a waste if he didn't make use of it.
He just needed to figure out how to reveal the existence of the Immortal Herb location.
In the end, Gu Ziyi thought of faking a bit and made an image indicating a treasure map, then said that the image represented a map remnant of the location of the Immortal Herbs, claiming he found it hidden in the Martial Soul Hall Library.
It didn't matter if others believed him or not, as long as his teacher believed him.
"You found this in the Library Pavilion?"
Seeing Gu Ziyi's determination to go, Qian Xunji took the remnant image again, looked at it, and asked him.
"Yes, Teacher!" Gu Ziyi confirmed.
The remnant image appeared old and looked very primitive.
"How will you find it based on this incomplete image?"
"There's not even a location or any words written on it!"
When Qian Xunji saw Gu Ziyi was sure of finding the location, he had many doubts. He hadn't read half of the books in the library himself. It was normal for some things to be unknown to him.
Moreover, this incomplete image seemed worthless in his opinion.
Immortal Herbs?
How powerful could it be? Could it really improve someone's talent?
The name sounded so elevated that it seemed like Yue Guan was exaggerating or something for his disciple.
That guy loved flowers as if his life depended on them, so he might only consider some of the finest flowers and plants as immortal, that's all!
In his opinion, this was just an obsession of Gu Ziyi!
As his disciple, he knew he wanted to improve his talent significantly.
So, even if there was only a sliver of hope, he didn't want to let it pass without exhausting this path.
He could understand Gu Ziyi on this.
"Teacher, the back of this photo shows a setting sun. Isn't that Sunset?"
"It so happens that there's a Sunset Forest within the Heaven Dou Empire!"
"So I suspect that the location of this remnant map is the Sunset Forest."
When Gu Ziyi heard Qian Xunji's words, he immediately began analyzing his false deduction process.
"…"
Qian Xunji's mouth twitched slightly as he listened to his disciple. Could that be the meaning behind the broken image on the back?
It seemed like a joke to him, but if you thought about it, it made some sense.
"In that case, the teacher can help you by sending someone to investigate the location!"
Even though he didn't fully believe the location of the remnant map was really in Sunset Forest, nor did he believe there was any treasure there, Qian Xunji was still willing to help Gu Ziyi.
"Teacher, I want to go find it myself!" Gu Ziyi quickly said.
Even though Qian Xunji would give him the Immortal Herb after having someone else search for it, Gu Ziyi still wanted to go there personally.
This way, he would be able to take the initiative and consume the best Immortal Herb from the 'Ice Fire Yin-Yang Well' as soon as he arrived there.
So Gu Ziyi spoke with great determination to his teacher.
"But you're only at Level 20 now..."
How could Qian Xunji let Gu Ziyi go alone!
"Teacher, let Teacher Yue Guan and Ghost Douluo go with me!"
"With the protection of the two, I'll definitely be safe!"
"And Teacher Yue Guan is more familiar with those high-quality Immortal Herbs!"
Hearing Qian Xunji's hesitation, Gu Ziyi quickly made his suggestions.
Originally, he wanted his teacher to take him personally, but when Qian Xunji didn't mention it, he had no choice but to name Yue Guan and Gui Mei as escorts.
With the protection of two titled Douluo, Yue Guan and Gui Mei, going to Sunset Forest was sufficient.
After several years of contact, he and Yue Guan had a very good relationship.
Gu Ziyi trusted Yue Guan and Gui Mei to go with him on this adventure.
The character of Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo in the original work was very good, and they were always loyal to the Martial Soul Hall.
"Yue Guan and Ghost?"
Hearing Gu Ziyi's words, Qian Xunji pondered for a moment and then slightly nodded: "If those two protect you, there's indeed no issue with this personal adventure!"
Yue Guan and Gui Mei were both Douluo and had the ability to merge their Martial Souls (or at least partially). Even if they encountered a Titled Douluo, they would definitely be able to protect Gu Ziyi. (E/N: If I'm not mistaken, the two of them can only fuse the soul skill and not the Martial Soul, but I could be wrong.)
Moreover, Yue Guan was indeed the most familiar with flora, so he was indeed the most suitable candidate.
"Do you really want to go?"
In the end, Qian Xunji could only ask Gu Ziyi again seriously.
"Yes, Teacher!" Hearing those words, Gu Ziyi was very excited!
It meant that Qian Xunji agreed!
Certainly, he was very conservative in his past. If he wanted to find the Immortal Herbs, he could simply use the power of the Martial Soul Hall!
He was now the Pope's disciple, so he shouldn't be so narrow-minded.
"Okay, since you want to go, I'll ask Yue Guan and Gui Mei to go with you!"
Seeing Gu Ziyi determined to go, Qian Xunji nodded and agreed.
In his opinion, it didn't matter what the outcome was, nor if Gu Ziyi could find the location of the fragmented map. It only mattered if he wanted to go.
"But the teacher still advises not to have too high hopes for this venture to avoid disappointment in the end."
"Talents that improve treasure aren't so easy to obtain!"
In the end, Qian Xunji still warned his disciple, worried that Gu Ziyi would be disappointed if he found nothing at the end of this journey.
"Yes, Teacher, I understand!"
"I just wanted to search personally!" Gu Ziyi suppressed his excitement and quickly agreed with his teacher's words.
Qian Xunji: "Alright, when will you go?"
"As soon as possible!" Gu Ziyi said enthusiastically.
"Okay, then I'll call Yue Guan and Gui Mei!"
Seeing his eager look, Qian Xunji smiled helplessly and sent someone to call for Yue Guan and Gui Mei.
The two had always been his right-hand men and were indeed still in Spirit City at that moment.
Gu Ziyi waited in the Pope's Palace. Half an hour after someone was sent to call them, Yue Guan and Gui Mei finally arrived.
"Your Majesty, the Pope!"
"Your Majesty, the Pope!"
After the two arrived, they quickly greeted Qian Xunji respectfully.
"Your Highness!"
Of course, they didn't forget Gu Ziyi standing beside them.
Even though he was not a Saint or held any other position in the Martial Soul Hall hierarchy, he was still the Pope's personal disciple, so people within the Martial Soul Hall also respectfully addressed Gu Ziyi as 'Your Highness.'
It was similar to how they addressed 'Her Highness the Saint' Bibi Dong!
"You're here, Yue Guan and Gui Mei; I'm asking you to personally protect Xiao Yi as he goes to Sunset Forest on an adventure!"
Qian Xunji saw Yue Guan and Gui Mei entering the hall and immediately explained the situation to them.
"Yes, Your Majesty, the Pope!"
"We will certainly protect Your Highness!"
Yue Guan and Gui Mei naturally agreed without any objections.
"Xiaoyi, what are we going to do?"
Only after leaving the Pope's Palace did Yue Guan curiously ask Gu Ziyi about their destination.
