Gift of the Immortal Herb

"Lu Yuan, you're back!" Ning Rongrong was brandishing her longsword when she suddenly turned around and Lu Yuan's figure came into view. Ning Rongrong immediately stopped what she was doing and called out.

Upon hearing Ning Rongrong's voice, Zhu Zhuqing also stopped in her tracks. Of the six figures that were flying around, five of them slowly dissipated.

"You're back?" Zhu Zhuqing asked softly, her voice calm.

"Yes, you're back!" Lu Yuan smiled slightly at Zhu Zhuqing and nodded gently.

"Have you been settling in well these past two days?" Lu Yuan asked softly, looking at Ning Rongrong, who was holding a sword and had a happy smile on her face.

"It's alright, I'm getting used to it. It's just a little boring without you," Ning Rongrong said softly, blinking her big eyes.

Hearing this, and seeing Ning Rongrong's bright eyes, Lu Yuan sighed slightly. He knew Ning Rongrong's feelings all too well, but feelings are something that are really hard to force.

If he doesn't feel anything, he simply doesn't feel anything, and there's nothing he can do about it.

With light steps, Lu Yuan stepped forward, his God Ring, and asked, "Where is Senior Dugu? Why are there only the two of you here? Wasn't he supposed to be protecting you?"

"Dugu Bo went to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy to pick up Dugu Yan. I'll look after things here." As soon as Lu Yuan finished speaking, a female voice rang out, and Liu Erlong walked out of the wooden house.

"Dean Erlong, you're here too!" Lu Yuan greeted Liu Erlong upon seeing Liu Erlong.

"Well, Senior Dugu said he was going to pick up Dugu Yan, and I happened to have nothing to do, so I came here to look after them," Liu Erlong said.

"Thank you so much for your help these past two days, Dean Erlong," Lu Yuan said.

"It's no trouble at all. These two girls are quite likable, and it's very comfortable to be with them. With them around, my mood has improved a lot."

"Besides, I'm also the vice dean of the academy, so it's my duty to take them under my wing," Liu Erlong said with a smile.

Seeing the smile on Liu Erlong's face, Lu Yuan was slightly taken aback. Just a few days ago, Liu Erlong had been wearing a bitter face all day because she missed the Grandmaster.

Now they even have smiles on their faces, it seems they're really in a much better mood, I wonder how these two girls did it.

But this is for the best. Someone like the Grandmaster is really not worth Liu Erlong being heartbroken over all day. It's something to be happy about now that Liu Erlong's mood has improved.

"Oh, by the way, please don't call me Dean Erlong anymore. It sounds too formal. Let's use a different title," Liu Erlong said.

"Change your form of address? What should I call you then?" Lu Yuan was taken aback by Liu Erlong's words. If he didn't call her Dean Erlong, what should he call her by? It seemed a bit inappropriate to just call her by her name.

"Whatever you like, call me Liu Erlong or Aunt Erlong, it's fine with you." Liu Erlong waved her hand dismissively and said.

"I'll still call you Erlong. You look very young. Calling you Auntie is a bit too old," Lu Yuan said.

"Hehe, that's fine too. It's just a form of address. I'm glad you like it." Hearing Lu Yuan say that she looked very young, Liu Erlong smiled slightly. She was not young at all, already over forty.

But what woman doesn't like being told she looks young?

Lu Yuan naturally didn't mind calling her "sister." In addition, given his previous life, his mental age was already over thirty, so calling Liu Erlong" sister" wasn't a problem at all.

"Alright, now that you're back, I'll head out first. I haven't watered the flowers yet!" Liu Erlong said with a smile.

"Then take care, Erlong," Lu Yuan said with a slight smile.

After Liu Erlong left, Lu Yuan found a place to sit down by the door. Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong didn't do anything; they just watched him.

"You should practice whatever you're supposed to practice. Why are you looking at me?" Lu Yuan rolled his eyes at the two girls and said.

"Okay!" Ning Rongrong nodded, picked up her sword, and prepared to continue practicing.

"Wait!" Lu Yuan turned his head slightly and noticed two figures approaching in the distance. He immediately called for a stop.

"What's wrong?" Ning Rongrong looked at Lu Yuan in confusion. Wasn't he supposed to let her practice swordsmanship? Why did he stop her again?

"Forget it, stop practicing. Someone's coming. Let's practice tomorrow!" Lu Yuan said.

"Huh?" Upon hearing this, Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing both turned their heads and narrowed their eyes. They could see two people approaching in their line of sight.

"It's Senior Dugu!" Zhu Zhuqing's cold voice rang out.

"Yes, it's him, and the one next to him is his granddaughter Dugu Yan!" Lu Yuan said softly.

"Zhu Qing," Lu Yuan called softly.

"What's wrong?" Zhu Zhuqing looked at Lu Yuan with a puzzled expression.

"There's something I forgot to give to Rongrong. I only remembered it when Dugu Yan came over today," Lu Yuan said.

"What did you forget to give me?" Upon hearing Lu Yuan's words, Ning Rongrong immediately looked away and gazed at Lu Yuan with some anticipation.

With a flick of his wrist, Lu Yuan a strange flower. As soon as the flower appeared, an aura of wealth and grandeur arose, and a peculiar fragrance began to spread rapidly through the air.

"What is this?" Ning Rongrong stared curiously at the strange flower in Lu Yuan's hand.

"This is called the Aromatic Silk Beauty. It absorbs the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and the essence of the Sun Moon, and has magical power. Your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda is elegant and luxurious, which is a perfect match for the magnificent Aromatic Silk Beauty. By absorbing this Immortal Herb, your level can be greatly increased, and even your Martial Soul may undergo a certain transformation."

"Aromatic Silk Beauty?" Ning Rongrong took the strange flower from Lu Yuan and examined it closely.

"The Aromatic Silk Beauty enhances your Soul Power exceptionally steadily and also has the effect of strengthening your foundation, so you don't need to worry about your foundation being unstable. On the contrary, it will make your cultivation aptitude even better."

"Zhu Qing also consumed an Immortal Herb, and now her Soul Power has reached level 40. Soon she will be able to obtain her fourth Soul Ring and advance to the Soul Ancestor. As for you, you are still at level 29!"

"After consuming this Immortal Herb, barring any unforeseen circumstances, your Soul Power should reach level thirty-five or thirty-six."

Lu Yuan said.

"Really?" Ning Rongrong looked at Lu Yuan with some surprise.

"Of course it's true, I have no reason to lie to you!" Lu Yuan smiled faintly.

"Lu Yuan, you're so good to me!" Ning Rongrong stared intently at Lu Yuan, her pretty face full of emotion. She opened her arms, wanting to rush up and hug Lu Yuan.

"No, no, Rongrong, don't get excited. The important thing is to absorb the Aromatic Silk Beauty first!" Seeing Ning Rongrong's actions, Lu Yuan was startled. Zhu Zhuqing was still beside him. If he hugged her, he would probably have to sleep on the floor tonight.

"Alright then, how do we eat this?" Hearing this, Ning Rongrong had no choice but to lower her arms, holding the Aromatic Silk Beauty in her left hand, and asked softly.
