Gifting Immortal Grass, Shui Yue'er's Kiss

Pfft!

As soon as these words were spoken, the tea Shui Qingyue had just sipped was sprayed out before she could even swallow it.

"Cough, cough!"

"Brother Huo Li, you aren't mistaken, are you? Are you certain this kid's soul power has already reached level fifty? I recall that the last time we met, his soul power was only at level thirty-four."

"Heh, of course it's true. Why would I joke with you about something like this?"

Huo Li raised the corners of his mouth in a light chuckle; he enjoyed watching the look of shock on Shui Qingyue's face.

It wasn't just Shui Qingyue; even Shui Bing'er and the other two beside her were wearing expressions of utter astonishment.

Huo Li smiled and continued, "This kid accidentally helped Poison Douluo, and as a token of gratitude, Poison Douluo gifted him quite a few immortal herbs capable of increasing cultivation.

Relying on these immortal herbs, this kid's cultivation can be said to have advanced by leaps and bounds. In just one year, his soul power reached level fifty.

Even Wushuang and Xiao Wu have benefited immensely; both of them are now Soul Ancestors."

"So it was Poison Douluo, that makes sense..."

Shui Qingyue nodded slightly. Dugu Bo was a long-renowned Title Douluo, so it was no surprise he possessed such treasures.

Hearing this, the lively Shui Yue'er's eyes lit up instantly. She stared straight at Ling Yun with her beautiful, watery eyes and smiled.

"Little Brother Ling Yun, do you have any more immortal herbs on you? Could you gift one to your sister?

Don't worry, I won't take it for free. As long as you give me one, I'll take you to obtain your fifth soul ring!"

After a pause, Shui Yue'er added with a smile.

"And I'll throw in a strawberry-flavored kiss for you, how about that? Tee-hee..."

"Since Sister Yue'er has said so, then of course that's fine."

Ling Yun smiled slightly. After all, he needed Shui Yue'er and the others to take him to the Ice Seal Forest to obtain his soul ring, and since Skywater Academy was an ally of Blazing Academy, there was no harm in building a good relationship with them.

As for Shui Yue'er's last sentence, he ignored it entirely, assuming she was just joking.

While speaking, Ling Yun took out an immortal herb that resembled a narcissus from his soul storage ring. It was snow-white, crystal clear, and looked exceptionally beautiful.

"This immortal herb is called Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone. Consuming it can moisten the tendons and strengthen the bones, clearing the eight extraordinary meridians to increase a soul master's cultivation. Furthermore, this herb has yin properties, making it especially suitable for female soul masters like Sister Yue'er."

As he spoke, Ling Yun handed the Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone to Shui Yue'er and smiled, "As for how to consume it, it's very simple: just eat the petals, then suck on the stamen, and finally use your soul power to refine the medicinal energy."

"Understood!"

Shui Yue'er laughed excitedly. She immediately followed his instructions, ate the Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone, and condensed her soul power to refine its energy.

In an instant, her cultivation began to rise at a speed visible to the naked eye: level thirty-five, thirty-six, thirty-seven...

In just over ten minutes, Shui Yue'er had surpassed her original self, and her aura continued to climb, a cold chill instantly enveloping the entire office!

Feeling the rising momentum from Shui Yue'er, Shui Bing'er and Xue Wu widened their eyes, looking at Ling Yun with expressions of longing.

Shui Bing'er, in particular, had a hint of pleading in her ice-blue pupils; she looked just like a cute kitten begging for attention.

Being stared at by two stunningly beautiful young women, Ling Yun felt his old face flush. He had no choice but to take out three more herbs and place them before the two.

"I really can't do anything with you two."

Ling Yun shook his head helplessly, then pointed to one of the herbs and introduced it: "This is Ice Ling Grass, a top-tier herb with water attributes, especially suitable for water-attribute soul masters.

Senior Sister Xue Wu, I'll gift this Ice Ling Grass to you. The consumption method is simple: just eat it directly."

"Giggle, thank you, Junior Brother." Xue Wu smiled slightly, immediately ate the Ice Ling Grass, and began to meditate to refine it.

Shui Bing'er looked at the remaining two herbs and asked, "Little Brother Ling Yun, are these two for me?"

"That's right, though the herbs you need to consume, Sister Bing'er, are a bit special."

Ling Yun held up an immortal herb with fiery red roots and crimson-gold veins, explaining patiently.

"This is Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower, an immortal-grade herb. Legend says it was watered with the blood of a phoenix. For soul masters who have awakened bird-type martial souls, it is a rare and highly nourishing treasure.

Isn't your martial soul an Ice Phoenix, Sister Bing'er? I believe this Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower will definitely allow your martial soul to advance further!

However, the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower has yang properties, making it more suitable for fire-attribute soul masters.

If you want to consume it, Sister Bing'er, it's best to take it together with this Ice Ling Grass. Use the medicinal energy of the Ice Ling Grass to neutralize the fire energy of the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower; that way, you can fully absorb the phoenix blood within the immortal herb."

"I understand."

Shui Bing'er nodded slightly, swallowed both the Ice Ling Grass and the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower, and immediately began to refine the energy.

In an instant, her aura, like Shui Yue'er's, soared in a straight line!

As time ticked by, Shui Yue'er was the first to open her eyes. Her soul power had reached level forty; she was only one soul ring away from becoming a Soul Ancestor.

Following Shui Yue'er, Xue Wu also slowly woke up. Her soul power had originally been at the peak of level thirty-nine, but after consuming the Ice Ling Grass, her cultivation naturally reached level forty!

At this moment, everyone's gaze turned to Shui Bing'er, whose soul power was still rising.

When Shui Bing'er slowly opened her beautiful eyes, her soul power had already surpassed Huo Wu, reaching level forty-six!

It was no wonder; after all, Shui Bing'er had consumed an immortal herb, which was like heaven and earth compared to top-tier herbs.

Feeling her own cultivation, the usually shy and reserved Shui Bing'er actually laughed out loud with joy.

"Hehe, my soul power has already reached level forty-six! Not only that, but after absorbing the phoenix blood from the immortal herb, not only has my Ice Phoenix martial soul become even more powerful, but my speed and strength have also increased significantly."

Speaking of this, Shui Bing'er looked at Ling Yun with a face full of smiles and laughed: "Little Brother Ling Yun, thank you for giving me such a precious immortal herb!"

"Don't mention it. Who told you to be a friend of Big Sister Huo Wu? A friend of Big Sister Huo Wu is a friend of mine."

Ling Yun said with a chuckle, but just then, Shui Yue'er suddenly called his name.

"Little Brother Ling Yun."

"What is it, Yue'er... Mmph!"

Before Ling Yun could finish his sentence, he felt something soft brush against his cheek.

Once he reacted, he realized it was actually Shui Yue'er's lips!

And just as Shui Yue'er had said, her lips really did taste like strawberries.

Seeing this, Ling Yun widened his eyes in shock and asked incredulously: "Wait, Big Sister Yue'er, why did you kiss me?"

"Huh? What are you surprised about? Didn't I tell you just now? I said I would give you a strawberry-flavored kiss!"

"I thought you were just joking with me; who could have guessed you were being serious?"

I thought you were just all talk, but it turns out you were for real.
