Medicine God Dan Shu Jing, Zhu Zhuqing: Xiao Wu, sorry...

In Heaven Dou City, Xiao Wu looked at Heaven Dou City, which was many times more prosperous than Nuoding City, her eyes filled with curiosity for the unknown.

Lu Chen looked at the map in his hand and said, "Heaven Dou Royal Academy is on a mountain outside the city. Today, we'll wash up properly first, and then we'll visit Senior Meng Shenji tomorrow!"

"En!"

Zhu Zhuqing nodded upon hearing this. After traveling all the way, it was indeed not appropriate to meet someone in their current state, especially since Meng Shenji was a Soul Fighting Douluo.

"Xiao Wu, what do you think?"

Lu Chen turned his head to look beside him, only to find that Xiao Wu, who had been following him just now, had already disappeared.

Lu Chen shook his head helplessly and said, "This Xiao Wu! Running off again!"

Just then, Xiao Wu's clear shout came from behind: "Lu Chen, Zhuqing."

Lu Chen turned back and saw Xiao Wu running over with three bulging cloth bags.

"I just went to the apothecary at the street corner and bought some herbal medicine. The merchant said these herbs are very comfortable for soaking feet!"

Lu Chen raised his hand and rubbed Xiao Wu's head, saying gently, "Next time you want to do something, tell me and Zhuqing first."

Xiao Wu playfully stuck out her tongue, then shared what happened when she bought the herbs, "That older sister just now was really amazing. She helped me grab the herbs in my hand..."

Lu Chen smiled and nodded, taking the two of them to find a hotel to stay in.

At night, Lu Chen was constantly swinging the Asura Demon Sword in the hotel garden.

The Asura Demon Sword hummed, and scarlet blood light flowed on the sword body, even causing a faint trace of bloody airflow to linger around him.

As he swung his sword continuously over the years, Lu Chen seemed to have comprehended a miraculous power similar to Sword Intent, although it was not yet perfect.

[Host has completed the Daily Ten Thousand Sword Swings Mission, reward: Medicine God Dan Shu Jing!]

As soon as the system's voice fell, countless streams of information flooded into Lu Chen's mind.

From the identification and compatibility of ordinary herbal medicine to the characteristics and harvesting techniques of immortal herbs, and the refining methods of tens of thousands of medicine pills, all were clearly imprinted in Lu Chen's mind.

With the system's help, Lu Chen, who was a "layman" in the field of medicine pills, instantly became the most skilled Soul Master in medicine pills on the Douluo Continent!

Fifteen minutes later, Lu Chen's brain felt groggy, but his eyes shone with astonishing brilliance.

Lu Chen looked in the direction of Sunset Forest and thought to himself: Ice Fire Two Elements Spring, I'm coming for you!

As soon as he returned to the room and sat down, there was a light knock on the door.

When he opened the door, Zhu Zhuqing was standing in the corridor. She was wearing a moon white silk pajamas. The loose fabric could not hide Zhu Zhuqing's voluptuous figure at all. The faintly visible snow-white skin at the neckline added a touch of temptation to this "little wildcat."

Lu Chen opened the door, looked at Zhu Zhuqing, and said gently, "Zhuqing, is there something?"

Zhu Zhuqing's cheeks flushed slightly, and her voice was filled with uncontrollable anticipation as she said:

"My soul power has just broken through to level thirty!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Chen's hand flashed with white light, and a pair of crystal clear purple bracelets appeared in his hand.

Intricate dark patterns were carved on the bracelets, emitting faint soul power fluctuations.

"This is the reward I promised you for reaching level thirty!"

Lu Chen had previously made a promise to Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing that they would each receive a gift once their soul power reached level thirty. Xiao Wu's gift was two exquisite level five Soul Tools, [Wind Spirit Blades].

And for Zhu Zhuqing, he had prepared this level five close-combat Soul Tool called [Shadow Claw].

Zhu Zhuqing took the bracelets, and a beautiful curve appeared at the corner of her mouth. "Thank you."

"Try it!"

Zhu Zhuqing nodded and, following Lu Chen's instructions, put the bracelets on her wrists and slowly injected her soul power.

The purple crystal bracelets suddenly lit up with a faint purple halo, and then, to Zhu Zhuqing's surprise, the bracelets transformed into mechanical claw covers resembling the Hell Spirit Cat Martial Soul's possession.

The Shadow Claw was entirely black, fitting Zhu Zhuqing's finger bone curves perfectly. At the tips of the fingers were inch-long black claw blades, which glowed with an ethereal blue light.

Zhu Zhuqing's beautiful eyes were filled with shock.

Lu Chen explained, "This is the close-combat Soul Tool I introduced before, called [Shadow Claw]. It can greatly increase your attack power and also provide early warning of sneak attacks from behind! When you don't need to use it, just stop injecting soul power!"

As Zhu Zhuqing's soul power receded, the Shadow Claw returned to its bracelet form.

Lu Chen smiled faintly, "How is it? Doesn't it suit you very well?"

Zhu Zhuqing looked up at Lu Chen, biting her lower lip as if she had made a decision.

The next moment, Zhu Zhuqing suddenly stood on tiptoe slightly, wrapped her arms around Lu Chen's neck, and her lips, carrying a faint fragrance, quickly brushed against Lu Chen's cheek.

After doing all this, Zhu Zhuqing turned and ran back to her room like a startled kitten.

The door clicked shut. She leaned against the door, her full chest rising and falling with her rapid breathing.

Zhu Zhuqing felt the burning warmth on her face and murmured, "Xiao Wu, I'm sorry..."

At this moment, in the Ice Fire Two Elements Spring in Sunset Forest.

Dugu Bo looked at Dugu Yan, who was cultivating beside a poisonous plant, his eyes filled with heartache.

Dugu Bo came to Dugu Yan with a gilded invitation letter and said gently, "Yan Yan, that kid from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family is inviting you to a banquet again. Why don't you go out and have some fun?"

At this time, Dugu Yan's hair color had turned deep purple. Hearing Dugu Bo's words, Dugu Yan slowly opened her eyes. Her deep green eyes flashed with a green light, like emeralds dipped in poison.

"Grandfather, please refuse it for me!"

After saying this, Dugu Yan entered her cultivation again.

"Sigh..." Dugu Bo sighed.

Ever since returning from the Star Dou Great Forest, Dugu Yan had been cultivating like crazy. She even ignored Dugu Bo's dissuasion and started using some poisonous herbs to speed up her cultivation.

Dugu Bo looked at Dugu Yan's stubborn profile and couldn't help but think of that youth, murmuring, "Kid, how I wish you were still alive..."

Hearing this, Dugu Yan's eyelashes trembled slightly: Lu Chen... I must become stronger, I must avenge you, even if it costs me everything...

The second day, early morning.

Lu Chen, Xiao Wu, and Zhu Zhuqing arrived at the foot of a large mountain tens of kilometers away from Heaven Dou City.

Xiao Wu glanced at Lu Chen, then at Zhu Zhuqing, sensing a strange atmosphere between them.

She asked doubtfully, "Why do I feel like you and Zhuqing are hiding something from me?"

Lu Chen remembered the soft touch from last night and said guiltily, "How could that be?"

Zhu Zhuqing, under Xiao Wu's intense scrutiny, felt her mental defenses rapidly collapsing.

Fortunately, Xiao Wu just glanced at them before bouncing and skipping up the mountain.

Zhu Zhuqing immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Recalling her impulsive actions from last night, her cheeks flushed crimson again.

She said softly to Lu Chen, "I'm sorry, I was a bit impulsive yesterday..."

Lu Chen smiled slightly, rubbed Zhu Zhuqing's head, and said, "Cultivate well. Your destiny shouldn't be limited to the path given to you by heaven!"

Zhu Zhuqing looked at Lu Chen, thinking to herself: So he always knew...
