After a long while.
Tang Xuan finally came back to his senses. "Just take it off. Hurry and consume it, or it'll wither soon."
In the end, he could not resist telling a well-intentioned lie.
Compared to reviving the dead and regenerating flesh and bone,
it was better to maximize its ability to seize the wonders of heaven and earth.
"Brother Xuan is lying. Lovesick Heartbreak Red already told me that once it recognizes an owner, it will never wither and will remain by its owner's side." Ning Rongrong pouted.
Tang Xuan felt slightly awkward at her words.
The Original Work never said that Lovesick Heartbreak Red would actively transmit information after recognizing its owner.
Could that great author make the settings a little more rigorous?
"No matter what, it's still better for you to consume it. Its effects won't weaken after you do. Just take it as giving Little Monster some peace of mind." Dugu Bo stepped forward at a wholly inappropriate moment and teased him.
Ning Rongrong froze. "Peace of mind for what?"
She had wanted to ask earlier. This was clearly something good for her, so why had Brother Xuan hesitated so much?
"It's not a big deal, but it is rather ridiculous. Your Brother Xuan was worried he wouldn't be able to protect you, so he deceived himself and held a grudge against Lovesick Heartbreak Red." Dugu Bo hit the nail on the head.
As he spoke, he could not hold back his laughter.
Ning Rongrong could not help secretly laughing as well, though her heart felt warm. "My Brother Xuan is invincible. Nothing can stump him. It was true in the past, it is true now, and it will remain true in the future!"
"Then I'll gladly accept Rong Rong's auspicious words." Tang Xuan spoke gently. "Go absorb the Immortal Herb. Once you're done, we still need to head home."
As the King of Immortal Herbs,
Lovesick Heartbreak Red naturally had no trouble breaking the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's Martial Soul Shackles.
Such major news had to be reported back home no matter what.
Besides, Tang Xuan still had several Immortal Herbs that he had yet to give away.
Ning Rongrong obediently nodded.
Following Tang Xuan's instructions, she began refining the medicinal power of Lovesick Heartbreak Red.
Immediately afterward,
Tang Xuan took out another item and looked at Qin Ming, who had been silently watching the show. "Teacher Qin Ming, Rong Rong and I have received quite a bit of your care during this time. This is Crested Phoenix Sunflower. Please accept it."
Although Qin Ming came from Shrek Academy,
one thing was one thing, and another was another.
Qin Ming was Qin Ming, and Shrek was Shrek.
Since Tang Xuan had accepted Qin Ming's kindness, he had to remember it.
Otherwise, how would he be any different from the hypocritical Tang San he had always looked down on, or the selfish Yu Xiaogang?
"I get one too?" Qin Ming was startled. "No, no, Xiao Xuan. You haven't taken one yourself yet. You should eat this... whatever chicken-comb thing it is."
Tang Xuan smiled faintly. "Please accept it. Of course I haven't forgotten myself. It's just that Crested Phoenix Sunflower's greatest effect is purifying flames, and among the people around me, only you are a fire-attributed Spirit Master. If you don't take it, wouldn't such an Immortal Grade treasure go to waste?"
"Then... Teacher will thank you." After hesitating for a long while, Qin Ming finally accepted it.
Following the method Tang Xuan had explained, he began absorbing it.
Tang Xuan smiled at the sight.
With the help of Crested Phoenix Sunflower,
Qin Ming's talent, which had been dragged down by his thousand-year fifth spirit ring, would be compensated for and might even rise to a higher level.
In that case, this first-generation Shrek monster, who had always been overshadowed by Tang Hao in the Original Work,
might even step into the realm of a Titled Douluo before Tang Hao.
"Alright, Old Monster. I'm going to consume an Immortal Herb too. Remember to stand guard for us." Tang Xuan smiled.
He walked to an unoccupied spot and took out the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew.
Now that much of the medicinal power of the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Infernal Delicate Apricot had been refined,
it was time to consume the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew to strengthen his Mental Power and see whether he could condense a Talent Domain.
Dugu Bo rolled his eyes and said nothing.
He clearly remembered coming here to ask how to consume the Ninth-grade Dragon Ganoderma.
Yet after inexplicably watching a show, he had become their bodyguard.
He truly owed this brat.
Helplessly,
Dugu Bo could only look around.
Every one of them had undergone considerable changes.
The ones who had changed the most were Yu Tianheng and Qin Ming.
The former's bones crackled nonstop.
His limbs swelled until they were thicker than his entire body.
Black fluid poured endlessly from the latter's body.
Yet before it could flow down,
the flames around him burned it all away.
Meanwhile, Ning Rongrong, who had consumed the King of Immortal Herbs, looked like the calmest one.
If not for the flashes of intertwined golden-red light occasionally flickering across her body,
Dugu Bo would have thought she had fallen asleep.
Time passed second by second.
Dugu Bo estimated that someone should be waking up soon.
Then, as if answering his thoughts,
a wolf's howl rang out beside him.
Other than Tang Xuan,
Qin Ming, who had started absorbing the medicinal power last, was the first to awaken.
After all, his Soul Power was the strongest.
Naturally, he refined the medicinal power the fastest.
"I-I'm Level 60? And this flame of mine... it's so powerful!" Qin Ming's face was filled with disbelief.
He knew that the Immortal Herbs Tang Xuan spoke of would greatly improve everyone.
But he had never imagined the increase would be this great.
He was a Soul King, after all.
These mere four levels would have taken him three to five years of bitter cultivation.
And Qin Ming was only twenty-nine years old now.
Did that not mean he was about to become the second-youngest Soul Emperor on the continent?
Just as he was stunned.
A dragon roar and a serpent's hiss sounded one after another.
They were accompanied by waves of begonia fragrance.
Yu Tianheng, Dugu Yan, and Ye Lingling awakened in succession.
After consuming the Immortal Herbs,
all three of their temperaments had changed considerably.
Yu Tianheng's already tall and sturdy figure appeared even more robust.
Dugu Yan's skin had become smooth and fair. When she walked, she moved like a boneless snake.
Her temperament had also gained a touch of cold aloofness and seductive charm.
The one who had changed the most was Ye Lingling.
In the past, she had seemed lifeless, as though she did not belong to the mortal world.
But now, she was like a withered tree meeting spring, brimming with vitality.
"Ling Ling, how much has your Soul Power increased?" Qin Ming asked impatiently.
He did not ask Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan, who had already reached Level 30.
That was because he knew
that once Spirit Masters reached a whole level, they could no longer clearly sense their own Soul Power.
"Five levels? Maybe even more, but I've reached Level 30, so I can't sense anything beyond that." Ye Lingling's gaze was blank. "But Soul Power isn't the important part. The important part is that my Martial Soul seems to have gained the ability to restore Soul Power."
"What?" Everyone cried out in unison.
Even Old Poison Dugu Bo was no exception.
The Nine Heart Begonia could already contend with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda through its healing abilities alone.
Now it had even gained the ability to restore Soul Power.
Other than the legendary nine-tiered, nine-colored Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda,
perhaps no one could suppress Ye Lingling on the path of support anymore...
Speak of the devil.
The next instant,
a dazzling multicolored light drew everyone's attention.
They saw Ning Rongrong bathed in nine-colored and golden-red radiance.
She held a Glazed Pagoda in her palm, while her long hair, dyed golden-red by Lovesick Heartbreak Red,
gave her an added air of nobility.
"One, two, three... nine! Nine?" Dugu Yan looked as though she could not believe her own eyes. "Everyone, am I seeing things? Rong Rong's Martial Soul has nine tiers?"
Before anyone could respond,
Ning Rongrong suddenly opened her eyes.
"Sister Yanzi, you didn't see wrong. It's nine tiers and nine colors—the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda!"
