Chapter 366: Chapter 366 Divine Master is Beyond Saving (3)_1

"Haha, that is easy," Wu Bo laughed heartily upon seeing Dugu Qianye’s agreement, "We have all the herbal materials you will need in the Elixir Hall. Just take whatever you need. But do take the time to give some guidance to the Alchemists of the Divine Temple when you can. Look at them, they’re getting on in years and still without much progress."

"It’s a mutual exchange," Dugu Qianye said modestly.

Seeing Dugu Qianye’s modest attitude and none of the arrogance common among Alchemists, Wu Bo was very satisfied and personally took her to the Elixir Hall, where he announced her identity to everyone there.

The Alchemists all knew of Dugu Qianye, some had even gone to see her compete, and were excited to know that Dugu Qianye would be joining the Divine Temple. They readily accepted the news of her becoming the Hall Master. However, Dugu Qianye used her newness as an excuse to decline the position, saying she would be content to focus on Alchemy.

Seeing that Dugu Qianye really was unwilling, Wu Bo did not force the issue. He arranged another room for her and then left. Watching Wu Bo’s retreating figure from her courtyard, Dugu Qianye guessed that he was probably going to report the situation to the Divine Master.

Dugu Qianye guessed correctly. After leaving Dugu Qianye’s courtyard, Wu Bo headed straight to the highest room in the house, found a button, and the walls beside it slid apart.

He checked to make sure no one was around before entering. Once he entered, the walls returned to their previous state.

Down a winding secret passage, with clusters of white jade-fat flames burning on the walls and illuminating the path underfoot, Wu Bo walked until he reached a dark chamber. Inside, there was only a bed made of ice jade. A dignified-looking woman with pale, paper-like complexion was sitting cross-legged on it.

"Divine Master," Wu Bo greeted Lu Yuanshuang with a bow.

Lu Yuanshuang opened her eyes and looked at Wu Bo, asking weakly, "How is it going?"

"She has agreed to join our Divine Temple. Once she undergoes the Baptism and pledges her complete loyalty to the Divine Temple, I can bring her to you. I’m sure she will be able to heal your wounds when the time comes."

"This time, my avatar was destroyed, my beloved pet killed, which caused me a great loss of vitality. Despite the extended seclusion, there has been no improvement. Without the return of my avatar, what exactly happened remains unknown. I am fortunate you have been in charge of the Divine Temple’s affairs. Thank you," Lu Yuanshuang said to Wu Bo with gratitude. But after speaking only a few words, she started coughing, causing Wu Bo to feel a pang of distress.

"I will take her for the Baptism tomorrow, and then bring her to see you!" Wu Bo, no longer concerned about the rules of the Divine Temple, was determined to bring Dugu Qianye to Lu Yuanshuang as quickly as possible. After speaking, he turned and left.

The next day, just after Dugu Qianye had finished breakfast, members of the Divine Guard Team came to summon her, saying the Hall Master had requested her presence. Dugu Qianye followed them to the main hall, where she saw Wu Bo sitting there with a worried expression. It was only upon seeing Dugu Qianye that he mustered a semblance of energy.

"Hall Master, what do you need me for?" Dugu Qianye asked.

"It’s like this, everyone who joins the Divine Temple must undergo the Divine Baptism. Those who have experienced the baptism have their cultivation talents improved and their training speed increased," Wu Bo explained as he descended from his seat, "Today, I will take you for the Baptism."

Baptism? Sounds more like brainwashing!

Dugu Qianye knew this well, but she pretended otherwise and followed Wu Bo to the altar. The altar was very similar to the ones on Xuanyue Continent, only larger and made of superior materials.

Wu Bo led Dugu Qianye straight onto the altar, and as soon as they had ascended two levels, she started feeling dizzy. Fortunately, the Spiritual Mist from the Skeleton Earring helped her regain her clarity.

Because she had anticipated Wu Bo’s intent to brainwash her, she had woken the Jiang Yu inside of her along the way. If she focused too hard on resisting, Wu Bo would surely notice.

Wu Bo brought Dugu Qianye up and then fell silent, continuously watching Dugu Qianye’s eyes gradually become lifeless until they slowly regained their luster, and then, seeing her gaze towards him become even more respectful, Wu Bo knew she had been successfully brainwashed!

"Baili, how do you feel?" Wu Bo asked.

Dugu Qianye respectfully performed a salute and said, "To answer the Hall Master, Baili feels that her meridians are clear and flowing smoothly, as if about to fly. At the same time, there is a strong longing to meet the Divine Master, as if there is a powerful emotion within."

Wu Bo, upon hearing Dugu Qianye’s words, grew even more pleased in his heart. He was now certain that Baili Xie had been successfully brainwashed!

"Hehe, since you are so eager to meet the Divine Master, then I shall take you to her," Wu Bo said with a smile.

"Really?! Can I really meet the Divine Master?" Dugu Qianye’s eyes shone brightly as she looked at Wu Bo.

Wu Bo nodded and led the way down from the altar. Once he had turned away, the excited light in Dugu Qianye’s eyes slowly faded. She followed Wu Bo to Lu Yuanshuang’s courtyard, watched him open a secret passage, and followed him inside. Soon, she met the dignified yet venomous-hearted woman!

Perhaps due to severe injuries or the overpowering backlash, Lu Yuanshuang appeared much older than her avatar had looked originally, even though less than a year had passed on the Yuling Continent.

When Lu Yuanshuang saw Wu Bo bring Dugu Qianye in, her eyes flickered, and looking at Dugu Qianye, she said, "So, this is Baili Xie, yes?"

Dugu Qianye stepped forward and gave Lu Yuanshuang a deep bow, excitedly saying, "To answer the Divine Master, it is indeed this subordinate. Because I expressed a desire to pay respects to the Divine Master, the Hall Master has brought me here."

Lu Yuanshuang looked at Dugu Qianye and nodded with satisfaction, saying, "Since you have joined our Divine Temple, you are naturally one of the god’s children. There’s no need for such grand gestures towards me."

"I must, only through this can I show my respect for the Divine Master," Dugu Qianye said coolly and steadfastly, voicing lines that made even herself feel goosebumps.

"Baili, the Divine Master is not feeling well, can you examine her?" Wu Bo said.

"What? The Divine Master is injured? May Baili have a look?" Dugu Qianye showed a very surprised and pained expression. Upon seeing the Divine Master’s consent, she came forward to examine her.

She asked the Divine Master to stretch out her hand, and touching her wrist, she carefully probed for a while. Then frowning, as if she couldn’t believe the results of her diagnosis, she continued to feel for a while longer.

"How is it?" Wu Bo, seeing Dugu Qianye shake her head, asked.

"Strange, strange, the body of the Divine Master is so strange!" Dugu Qianye said.

Lu Yuanshuang withdrew her hand and said with a cold face, "What is so strange about my body?"

Dugu Qianye wore an expression as if suddenly realizing her mistake and said, "I misspoke, misspoke, it’s not that the Divine Master’s body is strange, but rather the nature of your injuries is strange. I have seen many injured people, but this is the first time I have encountered such injuries! Strange, truly strange!"
