When Lu Chen and the other two returned to the Ice Fire Two Elements Spring, seven days had already passed.

Lu Chen looked at the treasure-light brilliant immortal herbs within the Ice Fire Two Elements Spring, his gaze finally settling on Dugu Bo, a hint of a smile in his eyes.

"Senior Dugu, if I recall correctly, you still owe me three things!"

Dugu Bo nodded and said, "Speak, what scheme are you hatching now, kid? Since I promised, I won't go back on my word."

Lu Chen smiled faintly and said, "I need to refine two pills for my friend and require the immortal herbs here. You won't stop me, will you?"

Dugu Bo waved his hand, "This Ice Fire Two Elements Spring will be yours and Yan Yan's sooner or later. Go ahead and pick whatever immortal herbs you want."

After speaking, Lu Chen didn't move.

His gaze was fixed on the Waist Ruyi Hundred Treasures Pouch at Dugu Bo's waist. He extended his right hand, palm facing up, stopping in front of Dugu Bo.

Dugu Bo subconsciously clutched the pouch at his waist, "What? Don't you already have a storage soul tool?"

"The pills I need to refine require the addition of Soul Master Essence Blood during the process to achieve their maximum effect."

Lu Chen changed his tone and flattered, "You know, my storage soul tool is just ordinary goods, only capable of storing inanimate objects. But your Ruyi Hundred Treasures Pouch is different; it can hold living things and keep medicinal herbs fresh."

"You have good taste, kid!"

Dugu Bo listened to Lu Chen's flattery with a satisfied expression.

He immediately untied the Hundred Treasures Pouch from his waist and was about to hand it over.

But halfway through, Dugu Bo's hand suddenly froze in mid-air, "How did you know the function of the Ruyi Hundred Treasures Pouch!"

Lu Chen was quick-handed, fearing Dugu Bo would go back on his word. Before Dugu Bo could retract his hand, he hooked it with his fingertip and snatched the pouch, quickly tying it to his own waist in one smooth motion.

Dugu Bo's gaze swept towards Dugu Yan beside him, his expression clearly asking, "Did you let it slip?"

Dugu Yan shrunk her neck, her eyes darting around as she pointed at the Ruyi Hundred Treasures Pouch on Lu Chen's body and said, "Grandfather, don't you think the Ruyi Hundred Treasures Pouch looks better on Lu Chen?"

Dugu Bo looked at his granddaughter's expression and sighed deeply:

His granddaughter had changed. Now her heart and eyes were full of Lu Chen, making him feel like an unnecessary, lonely old man.

Seeing this, Dugu Yan threw herself into Dugu Bo's embrace and pouted, "Grandfather, you're not angry, are you?"

Dugu Bo dotingly patted the crown of her head and said gently, "Grandfather, how could I be angry with Yan Yan?

I just feel that Yan Yan has grown up and can't be kept anymore."

Dugu Yan affectionately said, "I knew you were the best, Grandfather!"

"Hahaha!"

Dugu Bo looked at his granddaughter and let out a hearty laugh.

Lu Chen smiled and glanced at Dugu Bo, thinking to himself: In the future, I will give you another opportunity as repayment for your second act of giving me medicine!

Then, he turned and walked into the Ice Fire Two Elements Spring.

Lu Chen looked at the familiar immortal herbs, finally stopping in front of a white, crystalline immortal herb.

It was the Water Immortal Jade Muscle Bone. Its entire body was jade white, shaped like a budding green lotus, with a delicate, jade-like lustrous sheen flowing over its petals, stem, and leaves.

Lu Chen placed the Water Immortal Jade Muscle Bone into the Ruyi Hundred Treasures Pouch, then moved to an immortal herb shaped like a Moon Tide Clear Radiance Epiphyllum.

The immortal herb was about three feet tall, covered in an icy, lustrous sheen. Its petals were semi-transparent, moon-white, with a faint water-blue halo around the edges. The stem was like carved green jade, covered with a layer of silver gauze as thin as a cicada's wing.

As it trembled slightly, seven slender silver threads extended from the center of the flower, each tipped with a grain-of-rice-sized golden ball that flickered with faint light, like miniature stars.

"Moon Tide Clear Radiance Epiphyllum..." Lu Chen softly read out the name of the immortal herb.

This was an immortal herb that only grew at night, with a cultivation speed half that of other immortal herbs, containing pure Moonlight Power within its body.

Lu Chen put the medicinal herb into the pouch, already having a plan: using these two immortal herbs as the main ingredients, supplemented by other spirit grasses from the Ice Fire Two Elements Spring for mediation.

He could then create the "Moon Nether Spirit Quenching Pill," which he believed could help the Hell Spirit Cat Martial Soul mutate.

As for Xiao Wu, Lu Chen only chose a few medicinal herbs that could promote soul power growth and purify soul power.

Xiao Wu had transformed from a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, the Soft Bone Rabbit. Her martial soul naturally possessed the quality of a "super martial soul," making it difficult to achieve a secondary evolution through medicinal power.

Instead of pursuing "mutation," it was better to help her solidify her soul power foundation.

After completing all this, Lu Chen returned to Dugu Bo.

Seeing that he had only taken a few immortal herbs, Dugu Bo spoke, "You're only taking these few?"

"It's enough!"

Lu Chen then said, "Senior Dugu, this third thing is that during the time I am studying at Heaven Dou Royal Academy, I do not wish for anyone to disturb me and my friends."

Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo said faintly, "Don't worry, I promise you this!"

Lu Chen nodded, feeling relieved. With Dugu Bo's promise, he could finally focus on cultivation for a period of time.

"Please send me back to Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Senior Dugu."

After all, it would take him quite some time to walk back to the academy from Sunset Forest.

By the time the two arrived at Heaven Dou Royal Academy, the sky had completely darkened.

Lu Chen gently opened the room door.

Lu Chen gently pushed open the dormitory room door. As soon as he entered the living room, a pink figure pounced over like a little white rabbit, accompanied by a voice full of surprise: "Lu Chen! You're finally back!"

Xiao Wu tightly hugged Lu Chen's neck with both arms, her two slender thighs habitually wrapping around Lu Chen's waist, and her cheeks buried in his neck, snuggling.

Lu Chen held Xiao Wu's round, perky buttocks with both hands, his tone carrying a hint of helplessness and gentle teasing: "Have you been causing trouble while I was gone these few days?"

Xiao Wu giggled playfully, "Not at all! I've been very good, cultivating with Zhuqing every day! Don't believe me, ask Zhuqing!"

Zhu Zhuqing slowly walked to Lu Chen's side, her black eyes full of tenderness, "You're finally back."

"En, I'm back."

Lu Chen nodded and placed Xiao Wu on the sofa.

Then, under the curious gazes of the two women, he recounted the events of his recent period.

When Zhu Zhuqing heard that Lu Chen was already a Soul King, she said worriedly, "Lu Chen, those herbal medicines won't have any side effects, right?"

Lu Chen explained, "The pills I refined are a perfect fit for me, and there won't be any after-effects."

Lu Chen's fingertips lightly brushed Xiao Wu's nose, a smile hidden in his eyes: "I also prepared gifts for you."

Lu Chen brought the two to the courtyard, took a drop of vital blood from each of them, and then, under their surprised gazes, two pills, one purple and one white, gradually took shape.

The purple one was the 'Purple Essence Soul Condensing Pill', its entire body a deep mysterious purple. The pill body was covered with a layer of semi-transparent ice-moist crystal film, and deep purple pill markings were evenly distributed on its body.

Approaching it, one could feel the rich soul power fluctuation. It was an excellent pill for purifying Xiao Wu's soul power.

The white pill was the Moon Nether Spirit Quenching Pill, as white as moonlight. Its surface was imprinted with fragmented Epiphyllum Patterns, the edges of which were adorned with silver-white filaments. A soft white light enveloped the pill, as if one could see moonlight flowing within it.

Lu Chen handed the two pills to Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing respectively.

Xiao Wu held the pill, her eyes shining like stars. She stood on tiptoe and quickly pecked Lu Chen's cheek.

Her cheeks slightly flushed, she turned and bounced back to her room: "I'm going to absorb it now! When I break through, I can help you fight!"

Zhu Zhuqing held the Moon Nether Spirit Quenching Pill in her hand, her fingertips trembling slightly.

For a moment, she was speechless. She looked at Lu Chen, complex emotions in her eyes: surprise, gratitude, and a deep hidden joy.

Lu Chen said gently, "This pill should allow your Hell Spirit Cat Martial Soul to undergo a mutation. Hurry up and absorb it, don't miss the best opportunity."

Zhu Zhuqing looked up, met his gentle gaze, and finally a faint smile hooked the corner of her mouth. She said softly, "Thank you, Lu Chen."

"Why be polite with me?"

Lu Chen rubbed Zhu Zhuqing's hair, "Zhuqing, you look even better when you smile!"

His words made Zhu Zhuqing's small face flush "whoosh," even the roots of her ears turning a light pink. She clutched the pill in her hand, turned, and quickly walked back to her room.

After closing the door, she looked at the white pill, starlight seeming to twinkle in her beautiful eyes, the smile on her lips impossible to suppress.
