Chapter 147 The Successor
Inside the Hall of Worship.
Qian Xunji straightened his expression and pointed at Qin Ming, saying,
"In a few decades!
After I abdicate, Qin Ming will be the next Pope."
Hearing this, Qin Ming was slightly taken aback.
However, he quickly understood.
Qian Xunji wasn't saying he was abdicating; he was simply formally designating him as the Pope's successor.
Qin Ming wasn't surprised by Qian Xunji's decision.
After all, there weren't many qualified candidates to succeed the Pope at this time; besides himself, only Bibi Dong was eligible.
Compared to Bibi Dong, Qin Ming had a significant advantage in the struggle for the Pope's position.
First, all the elders had already chosen to stand by Qin Ming's side.
As for the titled elders, apart from Yue Guan and Gui Mei,
a large group of people had already gathered around Qin Ming.
This includes Dugu Bo, who is about to join, Ning Fengzhi and others from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School who were previously recruited by Qin Ming, and Ye Renxin from the Nine Star Begonia School…
These people are naturally on Qin Ming's side.
Besides, most of the other titled elders also hold goodwill towards Qin Ming.
Qin Ming has too many supporters, so his ascension to the throne won't be too difficult.
Bibi Dong is different; her relationship with the elders and titled elders isn't good, so
it can be said that no one is currently on Bibi Dong's side.
Furthermore, Qin Ming is Qian Xunji's future son-in-law, and also has the added advantage of being valued by the gods.
It is precisely these numerous factors combined that led Qian Xunji to make the decision to let Qin Ming ascend to
the throne… Just as Qin Ming was pondering, Qian Daoliu directly made the decision.
"Letting Qin Ming be the successor is indeed feasible; let's settle this matter!"
Seeing that Qian Daoliu had also expressed his opinion, Qian Xunji nodded.You'll never believe why I moved to… Karachi
After the important matters were settled, Qian Xunji coughed lightly and looked at Golden Crocodile Douluo.
"Second Uncle, where is that ten-thousand-year-old ninth-grade ginseng king now?
Has it been escorted to Spirit City?"
Upon hearing this, Golden Crocodile Douluo shook his head at Qian Xunji.
"No, I recently passed the Divine Trial and also learned that Qin Ming has been favored by the gods.
Therefore, I brought Third Uncle and Qin Ming back ahead of time."
"Second Uncle, you and Third Uncle are both back, so what about that ten-thousand-year-old ninth-grade ginseng king?"
Qian Xunji's expression was slightly anxious.
Seeing Qian Xunji's state, Golden Crocodile Douluo explained.
"Your Holiness, there is no need to worry. Elder Yue Guan and Elder Gui Mei are still with the team responsible for escorting the ten-thousand-year-old ninth-grade ginseng king.
With the two of them there, there won't be any problems."
Upon hearing this, Qian Xunji nodded.
"Okay, Second Uncle, I understand."
After replying to Golden Crocodile Douluo, Qian Xunji stroked his chin and looked at Qian Daoliu.
"Father, look, all the uncles and Qin Ming have their own immortal herbs.
Can we give that ten-thousand-year-old ninth-grade ginseng king to Bibi Dong? After all, she…"
"No!"
Qian Daoliu interrupted without thinking.
"That ten-thousand-year-old ninth-grade ginseng king will still be distributed according to the previous method."
Saying this, Qian Xunji turned his gaze to Qin Ming, Golden Crocodile Douluo, and Azure Phoenix Douluo.
"Second brother, third brother, before you returned, we had already discussed and completed the distribution of that ten-thousand-year-old ninth-grade ginseng king.
Second brother, third brother, you two will share 30%, Qin Ming will have his half share, and the fourth brother will give him the 10% share."
Saying this, Qian Daoliu sighed.
"We were so careful when we divided it up, who could have imagined that after you returned,
Qin Ming would actually take out so many immortal herbs, even managing to give each of you one immortal herb…" As he spoke, Qian Daoliu shook his head and looked at Qian Xunji again.
"Xunji, I don't want to get involved in your affairs with Bibi Dong anymore.
You can decide how to handle it yourself."
Hearing this, Qian Xunji's face lit up.
He did indeed intend to use immortal herbs to compensate and appease Bibi Dong.
Just as Qian Xunji was about to thank him, Qian Daoliu continued,
"However, the distribution of immortal herbs cannot be done according to your whims.
If you can persuade your uncles and Qin Ming
to agree to give up their shares,
then I have no objection to whoever you want to give the Ten-Thousand-Year Ninth-Rank Ginseng King to..." As
soon as Qian Daoliu finished speaking, Lion Douluo directly and clearly expressed his opposition.
"Pope, I do not agree to you giving Bibi Dong a larger share of immortal herbs."
As he spoke, Lion Douluo pointed at Golden Crocodile Douluo.
"Have you forgotten what Second Brother just said?
After consuming the immortal herb, Second Brother's martial soul evolved, and he successfully broke through the bottleneck to reach level 99 soul power.
He then successfully sensed the God Realm, attracting the attention of the gods and gaining the qualification to inherit a godhood..."
As he spoke, Lion Douluo's expression grew increasingly serious.
"Pope, have you thought about the future?
Bibi Dong's talent is no less than Second Brother's.
If Bibi Dong also gains the qualification for the God Trial after consuming a complete immortal herb,
and she also inherits a godhood, what do you think her attitude towards our Spirit Hall will be?"
Hearing this, the expressions of the various elders present changed one after another.
Golden Crocodile Douluo stepped out from the crowd and said in a deep voice,
"Fourth Brother is right!
Pope, I have no objection to giving Bibi Dong other compensation, but you absolutely cannot give her a complete immortal herb."
After Golden Crocodile Douluo stated his position, the other elders followed suit, all clearly rejecting Qian Xunji's proposal.
Seeing the attitudes of the elders, Qian Xunji felt somewhat weary.
He then turned his gaze to Qin Ming, hoping to gain his support.
"Qin Ming, what do you think..."
"I'm sorry, Your Holiness, my opinion is the same as my teacher's."
Qin Ming also shook his head at Qian Xunji.
Seeing that Qin Ming also said so, Qian Xunji sighed and didn't say anything more.
"Then let's distribute it the same way as before.
Bibi Dong will take half of the ten-thousand-year-old ninth-grade ginseng king's share.
My ten-thousand-year-old share will be..."
"Still left for Xiaoxue!"
Qian Daoliu interrupted Qian Xunji's unfinished words.
"The ten-thousand-year-old ninth-grade ginseng king is a kind of immortal herb that nourishes the foundation and strengthens the essence. Xiaoxue can use the medicinal power of the ten-thousand-year-old ninth-grade ginseng king to lay a foundation. It
will pave the way for improving her martial soul in the future!"
Hearing this, Qin Ming immediately made his statement.
"Your Highness, I am also willing to give my share to Xiaoxue!"
After Qin Ming finished speaking, Golden Crocodile Douluo and the other elders exchanged glances and made the same decision.
"I am also willing to give my share to Xiaoxue..."
Seeing that his proposal was rejected by everyone, Qin Ming's casual words gained the support of so many people.
Qian Xunji fell silent. He felt utterly pointless being the Pope…
This chapter went through three revisions, hence the late update today.
The initial version described cultivating a ten-thousand-year-old, ninth-grade ginseng king and harvesting it regularly. It was already in the second chapter, but then it felt unsuitable, so it was changed to leaving the ten-thousand-year-old, ninth-grade ginseng king for the Dugu Bo family.
Thinking about it again, it still didn't feel right, so it was finally decided to give it to Qian Renxue…
