After Dugu Bo's fleeing figure completely vanished into the depths of the dense forest, the valley floor returned to complete silence.
Lu Jing carefully placed the last Immortal Herb into a jade box, clapped his hands, and turned to walk toward Qian Renxue and Wang Dong'er.
Sunlight streamed through the crack at the top of the abyss, casting a golden outline around him. The jade boxes in his hands glimmered faintly, each containing a peerless Immortal Herb he had just picked.
"Here, these are for you."
Lu Jing handed a jade box to each of them and said, "They're both suited to your Martial Souls."
Qian Renxue accepted her jade box and opened it. Inside was a Golden Immortal Herb, radiating pure light and sacred aura that faintly resonated with her Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul.
Wang Dong'er's jade box contained an Immortal Herb blooming with seven-colored petals. The petals flowed with a dreamlike sheen, and merely approaching it allowed her to sense a gentle energy. It would clearly be of great benefit to her Light Goddess Butterfly.
The two exchanged a glance, each seeing confusion in the other's eyes.
In the end, Qian Renxue spoke first. Her brows furrowed slightly as she asked, "You're giving these to us? You want us to absorb them?"
Wang Dong'er nodded as well. "That's right, Lu Jing. You should know that medicine is poison in three parts. Even if these are rare Immortal Herbs, absorbing them rashly could damage our foundations. There's no need to take such a risk for a temporary increase in cultivation."
They had previously absorbed Whale Rubber to strengthen their bodies because its nature was gentle and it had undergone special processing. But the Immortal Herbs before them contained such vast energy. Who knew whether they would have side effects?
