Chapter 76 Qian Daoliu's Interview: The Next Pope?!
"Little Qin Mu, I heard you got into a fight with that kid Lin Hui yesterday? And you beat him?"
The three strolled around Spirit City, and along the way, Yue Guan began to inquire about Qin Mu's whereabouts, intentionally or unintentionally.
"Hmm? The battles between us juniors have reached your ears?"
What appears to be a peaceful conversation between the two actually masks underlying tensions.
"One is hailed as a once-in-a-century talent, and the other is the most outstanding student among contemporary young people. It's hard for us not to know them!"
Yue Guan wasn't wrong about that.
After all, both of them are considered outstanding young talents of the Spirit Hall, and will be the backbone of the Spirit Hall in the future, so naturally they will receive a lot of attention.
Therefore, as soon as yesterday's battle ended, the news had already reached the Spirit Hall.
However, neither Bibi Dong nor the other elders ever interfered in the battles between these juniors.
After all, these talents will all be working for the Spirit Hall in the future, so it's normal for them to have some minor mischief.
But they all shared two points of consensus: they must not cause serious injury or death, and they must not rely on powerful backers.
This is also why Lin Hui, as a disciple of an elder of the Spirit Hall, dared to bully Xie Yue.
"I just didn't expect you to defeat Lin Hui so easily!"
Despite his seemingly calm expression, Yue Guan was inwardly filled with astonishment.
Over the years, because Qin Mu has been away from home for many years, Yue Guan has not known much about him.
But he knew Lin Hui, who had always been in the Spirit Hall!
Not only did he just win the championship of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament, but since joining the Spirit Hall, he has also defeated a six-ring Soul Master from the Spirit Hall with his own powerful strength!
Such strength is undeniably formidable.
Even so, Lin Hui was still defeated by Qin Mu.
Just how powerful must Qin Mu be?
"Fancy moves without substance, not up to par."
When Yue Guan pressed him for an answer, Qin Mu simply smiled modestly, which made Ling Yuan and Yue Guan both purse their lips in disapproval.
This is considered beneath you? Then those weaker than you might as well just kill themselves!
Looking at Qin Mu in front of her, and then at Ling Yuan to the side, Yue Guan couldn't help but feel a little jealous.
It's worth noting that when they parted ways more than a year ago, Qin Mu was just a teenager who had just broken through to the third ring.
Ling Yuan was just a Title Douluo who hadn't broken through to level 94 in soul power and wasn't even ranked in the Spirit Hall.
But after more than a year apart, Qin Mu was already close to the fifth ring, and Ling Yuan's cultivation had even surpassed his own, advancing towards level ninety-six.
Everyone has selfish desires.
This is also why Yue Guan and Gui Mei joined the Spirit Hall.
However, since they joined the Spirit Hall, apart from enjoying wealth and honor, their soul power speed has been far inferior to what it used to be.
Now that Yue Guan sees Ling Yuan's cultivation surpassing his own, he can't help but feel a little jealous.
It's unclear what method Qin Mu used to enable the two of them to make such rapid progress in their soul power in such a short period of time.
Yue Guan recalled their conversation in the Northern City.
At that time, Qin Mu intentionally or unintentionally mentioned that there were medicinal herbs that could directly enhance their strength.
Thinking of this, Yue Guan felt a surge of heat in his heart.
If Qin Mu really had that legendary Immortal Herb, even just seeing it once would make his life worthwhile!
Yue Guan couldn't help but lick his lips, wanting to speak but not knowing how to bring it up with Qin Mu.
Just then, an ordinary-looking old man appeared in front of the three of them.
There was no trace of soul power emanating from the old man, but it caused Ling Yuan and Yue Guan's expressions to change drastically. They immediately bowed to the old man and said in unison.
"Greetings, Your Excellency!"
Hearing their conversation, Qin Mu was taken aback and couldn't help but scrutinize the old man who was referred to as the "Priest".
The old man didn't say much to them, but casually tossed a token into Qin Mu's hand.
The token is engraved with a human figure, and behind the figure are three pairs of wings.
"The Grand Priest has ordered that Qin Mu be summoned to the Elder Hall!"
Upon hearing this, Ling Yuan and the other two dared not utter any rebuttal.
After all, that Grand Priest was the undisputed number one powerhouse of the Spirit Hall.
Before the Grand Priest, they couldn't even withstand a single move.
"You two wait here."
After speaking, the old man flicked his hand, and Qin Mu felt the scene before him moving rapidly. In the blink of an eye, he arrived at an ancient and simple hall.
Compared to the main hall of the Papal Palace, this place is so simple that it's no different from an empty lot in the countryside.
There was only a simple stone table in the main hall, with seven seats around it.
There was nothing else besides that.
Sitting in front of the stone table was a handsome middle-aged man who looked to be about thirty or forty years old, dressed in plain clothes.
Qin Mu could not sense any soul power fluctuations from him either.
But he could vaguely sense that the person in front of him was probably one of the strongest people in the world, the Grand Priest of the Spirit Hall, Qian Daoliu!
Unbeknownst to them, the old man who had brought Qin Mu had disappeared from the main hall, leaving only him and Qian Daoliu inside.
"Qin Mu, right? Come and sit down!"
Qian Daoliu smiled slightly at Qin Mu, but the smile seemed to have a magical power, making Qin Mu feel as if his whole body was bathed in sunlight.
"Junior Qin Mu greets the Grand Priest!"
Qin Mu first bowed to Qian Daoliu before sitting down next to him.
"Excellent, excellent! You are outstanding!"
"At only fourteen years old, he already possesses level forty-six soul power, and his spiritual strength is almost approaching that of a seventh-ring Soul Saint!"
"This is truly beyond my expectations!"
Qian Daoliu saw through Qin Mu's soul power and spiritual power at a glance, and did not hold back his praise for Qin Mu.
"You flatter me, Your Excellency. May I ask what brings you here, Your Excellency?"
"Hehe, it's certainly not a bad thing."
Before anyone knew it, a tea set appeared on the stone table. Qian Daoliu picked up the teapot, poured a cup of tea into the teacup in front of Qin Mu, and handed it to Qin Mu.
"Actually, I originally wanted to wait until you were a little older before I came to find you."
"only..."
Qian Daoliu paused for a moment, then said, "I'll just be frank."
"We, the people of the Elder Hall, are prepared to nominate you as the next Pope!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Mu's hand holding the teacup trembled violently, and he choked on the tea he was drinking.
The next Pope? Are you kidding me!
"Ahem, Grand Priest, please don't make fun of a junior like me!"
Qin Mu coughed violently twice more, and after catching his breath, he placed the teacup on the stone table.
"My teacher is still in peak physical condition, and I am just a fourteen-year-old child."
"Even if we're in such a hurry, it would be more appropriate to wait until about twenty years from now, when I'm around thirty years old, before we talk about it, wouldn't it?"
Qian Daoliu nodded in agreement with Qin Mu's words.
"What you're saying, how could I not know it?"
"However, time waits for no one!"
