"Sigh~"
Ma Hongjun, who was standing idly by, watched his friends break through to the Soul Ancestor one after another, while he himself remained at level 38 because he hadn't made up his mind. He couldn't help but sigh, casually found a place, and sat down with a slightly melancholy expression.
Xiang Yang, who had initially thought he was trying to comfort the chubby boy because he saw he looked a bit down, was speechless after hearing his words (͡°ᴥ͡°ʋ):
"I didn't say anything when I was level 29, how dare you say that to my face?"
"Xiang Yang, do you think I'm too useless? You've explained it to me so clearly, but I still can't make up my mind." Ma Hongjun put his hands on the ground behind him, looked up at the bright sky, and said softly.
"Yeah, that's right!" Xiang Yang was speechless at his Versailles-style comment and was about to walk away.
Ma Hongjun turned to look at him in surprise, "Huh?" Shouldn't you be telling me not to think like that, to believe in myself or something? Where's my most reliable and confidant older brother? You've changed!
Xiang Yang scoffed, "Tch! What are you pretending for, you chubby kid? You can't even control your emotions properly. You're not suited for this track. Go do something simpler."
Having given prior instructions, Tang San and Xiang Yang then took Xiao Wu to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, where a special Immortal Herb awaited her.
Wow! It's so beautiful!
Above the valley, Xiao Wu immediately spotted the spring enveloped in red and blue mist, and was amazed by the rich Heaven and Earth Essence of heaven and earth surrounding her.
Tang San waited a while, letting her enjoy the view. After all, it was highly unlikely that he would come again. The rich Heaven and Earth Essence was good, but the problem was that most of it consisted of ice and fire elements.
In this way, apart from rare plants that can use this to accelerate their growth, only Soul Masters or Soul Beasts with matching attributes can survive here for a long time.
"Alright, let's go. Xiang Yang has already gone downstairs."
"Hmm!" Xiao Wu was also curious about the feeling of absorbing the Immortal Herb.
Tang San then led her to a pure white, curled-up flower bud.
"Is this the 'Moonlight-Beholding Immortal Epiphyllum' you were talking about?" Xiao Wu tilted her head, noting that it looked no different from an ordinary epiphyllum.
Tang San explained, "This Immortal Herb, like the ordinary epiphyllum, only blooms at night. You'll see its abilities then."
"Oh." Xiao Wu remembered; she had heard him mention it before. "Let's go check out other places first, Xiao San! What's that red flower?"
"That one is the Infernal Delicate Apricot, alas!"
Tang San stopped her hand, which she wanted to touch. "Don't touch it. Although this flower is Immortal Herb, it actually contains extremely potent fire poison. Even Titled Douluo would suffer greatly if he touched it."
"Okay, how about this one..."
Time passed slowly, and the silver moon quietly hung on the clouds.
As the moonlight shines upon the earth, the petals of the [Moonlight-Beholding Immortal Epiphyllum] slowly unfold, reflecting a faint silver light that resonates with the moon in the sky. The moonlight transforms into steps, as if fairies descend to dance, their ethereal shadows unparalleled.
Xiao Wu was stunned for a moment. Tang San and Xiang Yang had experienced this before, so they immediately avoided looking at each other. Based on their experience, as long as it wasn't observed at the initial stage of resonance, the impact wouldn't be so exaggerated later.
Otherwise, even if you've watched it countless times, you'll still be stunned for more than a minute if no one reminds you.
"Xiao Wu, wake up." Tang San reached out and shook her.
"Ah~" Xiao Wu finally snapped out of the illusion, but her first reaction was, "How beautiful!"
Tang San looked at her infatuated smile and seemed a little bewildered. Xiang Yang, on the other side, said speechlessly, "Never mind how beautiful it is. Its blooming time is unpredictable. The longest we've seen is less than fifteen minutes, and the shortest is only two or three minutes. Hurry up and pick it to absorb its essence."
The Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record records that the conditions for using this Immortal Herb are quite peculiar. First, the user must be a woman, a virgin, and not too old.
As for the exact number, even the ancients didn't know, as it was extremely rare. It's speculated that it should be under 30 years old, because there's a record of a 31-year-old woman who touched the Immortal Herb and it withered immediately.
The only two who succeeded were nine and sixteen years old, and both improved their talents and gained extremely strong cultivation physiques as a result.
"This... can we not use it? These flowers are so beautiful and precious, it would be such a waste to use them." Xiao Wu hesitated, looking at Tang San Sandao, not daring to face the people behind her.
Sure enough, upon hearing her words, Xiang Yang became furious and said, "Hey! You little bunny, everyone else is dying to have you, and you're still sitting here..."
"Alright, A Yang," Tang San said, somewhat surprised, but still calmly waving his hand to tell him not to get angry, "I'll do it."
He said to Xiao Wu, "Xiao Wu, this Immortal Herb isn't gone once it's picked; it leaves seeds behind, so you can see it again in the future."
Moreover, it can not only increase your Soul Power, but also improve your physique. Judging from Rongrong's situation, it is very likely that it can Martial Soul Evolution into a true Moon Rabbit."
Actually, it's not just that... but in Tang San's eyes, those were all trivial matters not worth mentioning. Tang Hao was so focused on his wife that he completely forgot to tell Tang San about the aura of the Transformed Soul Beast.
Upon seeing the Moonlight-Beholding Immortal Epiphyllum, Xiang Yang immediately thought it was more suitable for Xiao Wu than the Lovesick Heartbreak Red.
Because of its "fleeting moment," it allows the user to have complete control over their own power, including concealing their aura and instantly consuming a large amount of energy to unleash a super-powerful attack when needed.
For assassins, the ability to perfectly conceal their presence is an absolute godsend.
Moreover, for many people, the problem isn't a lack of energy, but a lack of output power.
This is also why many protagonists in novels can fight beyond their level, because they often master abilities higher than their own level at a lower level, so their output power far exceeds that of their peers.
This is definitely a good way to make up for Xiao Wu's shortcomings, and she finally has a powerful output. However, compared to her identity, the former ability is the most important. After all, you need to be alive to spend money.
"Ah, okay, I got it." Xiao Wu regained her usual energetic self.
The two watched as she stepped forward, cautiously touching the flower with her fingers. A beam of white light swept across her entire body, then quietly stopped in place.
"Phew~"
Tang San and Xiang Yang both breathed a sigh of relief. Originally, Tang San wouldn't have felt this way, but after learning that Xiao Wu was Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast in human form, he had the same concerns as Xiang Yang. Who knew if the time before her transformation counted?
It now appears that either it doesn't count or it wasn't detected, but regardless, the result is good.
Xiao Wu turned around and looked at them when she heard the voice, clearly puzzled. Tang San quickly said, "The information in the records is still too vague."
"Oh." Xiao Wu turned around, picked the flower, and then ate it all, bit by bit. Moonlight-Beholding Immortal Epiphyllum was almost the size of two palms, which took quite a bit of effort.
Actually, all that's needed is to eat the pistil in the center, but it's been recorded too few times, and the successful picking has only happened twice. Nobody dares to try it, and everyone eats the whole petal along with the pistil. So the two of them had to let Xiao Wu do the same.
Xiao Wu then sat quietly in place to refine the medicinal power, which was expected to take quite some time. Xiang Yang then parted ways with Tang San and went to continue guarding his Nine Yang Ginseng.
