Bringing Back the Immortal Herb, The Two Awaken.

Martial Soul City, Murong Mansion.

Murong Huai, Gui Mei, and Yue Guan returned to the Murong Mansion in short order. Hearing the news of their arrival, Murong Fuhai and Wu Xianyun stepped out to meet them.

"Huai'er, how did it go? Did you find them?"

Murong Huai nodded. "Father, Mother, I found them. They have been brought back. Let us go save Grandfather and Grandmother first."

"Good, let's go." Hearing Murong Huai's words, the couple felt a surge of joy and hurried to a room in the back courtyard. Murong Chayue and Xiao Qingmei were lying on the Cold Ice Jade Marrow Bed.

Murong Huai looked at Yue Guan, who produced the Soul-Extinguishing Dragon Prophecy Herb and the Pure Flame Crystal Orchid. Sensing the aura emanating from the former, Murong Fuhai felt his own Demonic Flame Heavenly Dragon martial soul stir with longing.

"Are these the two immortal-grade herbs?"

"Indeed, Marshal Murong. This Soul-Extinguishing Dragon Prophecy Herb is prepared for the Third Offering. I imagine the Marshal's martial soul can sense it as well," Yue Guan explained.

"Indeed, my martial soul has developed a craving for this item," Murong Fuhai nodded.

"Then there is no mistake. However, since the Third Offering and the Second Elder are unconscious and cannot consume them on their own, I must trouble Marshal Murong to use your Title Douluo-level soul power to refine them and infuse them into their bodies." Yue Guan nodded, satisfied that his selections were correct.

"Very well."

Following this, Yue Guan first took out the Soul-Extinguishing Dragon Prophecy Herb. "Marshal Murong, use your soul power to pluck the fruit, discard the protective leaves, and crush the fruit into a spiritual liquid. Then, have the Third Offering consume it."

Hearing Yue Guan's instructions, Murong Fuhai raised his hand, releasing a stream of red soul power. After plucking the fruit, he refined it with his soul power until it turned into a spiritual liquid, which he then carefully guided into Murong Chayue's mouth.

As the Soul-Extinguishing Dragon Prophecy Herb integrated into Murong Chayue's body, it flowed through his limbs and bones. His complexion gradually turned ruddy, and black soul power circulated around him, slowly mending his body.

"Next, the Third Offering only needs to fully integrate the medicinal power to awaken."

After Yue Guan finished speaking, he brought out the Pure Flame Crystal Orchid and said:

"Marshal, the medicinal power of this immortal herb resides entirely in its petals. Control your soul power to pluck the petals and refine them along the meridians."

Murong Fuhai nodded and quickly refined it with his soul power. The Pure Flame Crystal Orchid transformed into several drops of spiritual liquid, which slowly flowed into Xiao Qingmei's mouth.

After she consumed it, a white energy surged through her meridians, repairing the damage, while the trauma to her martial soul was also steadily replenished.

"It is done. In three days at most, the Third Offering and the Second Elder will awaken," Yue Guan gave his professional assessment after seeing them consume the herbs.

"Good. I never expected these immortal-grade herbs to have such efficacy. Excellent." Murong Fuhai and Wu Xianyun nodded in satisfaction.

Murong Huai also breathed a sigh of relief. Just then, a voice came from the doorway:

"Fuhai, I heard Huai'er and the others have returned. How is it?"

Everyone turned to see Qian Daoliu walking in.

"Teacher, we found them. I have just had Grandfather and Grandmother consume the herbs; they should awaken in about three days," Murong Huai explained.

"That is good, that is good." Qian Daoliu nodded. If the two had truly perished, he would not have known how to face Murong Huai afterward.

"By the way, Teacher, there are still many immortal-grade herbs in the Sunset Forest. I have left Elders Thousand Jun and Falling Devil to guard the area. We will harvest the rest once Grandfather and the others have recovered."

Hearing Murong Huai's words, Qian Daoliu nodded. "Yes, very well."

Two days later, Murong Mansion.

Murong Chayue and Xiao Qingmei sat cross-legged on the bed, their soul power circulating smoothly, their aura climbing steadily. After about an hour, the two slowly opened their eyes.

"Father, Mother, how do you feel?" Seeing them finish their meditation, Murong Fuhai stepped forward to ask.

Murong Chayue nodded and said, "Rest assured, my meridians and martial soul have been completely repaired. Furthermore, the dragon bloodline within my martial soul has become more concentrated, and my flame power has actually increased by ten percent."

"It is true. Not only were my wounds healed, but my martial soul has also improved, and my soul power has grown slightly," Xiao Qingmei added.

"Phew, you scared me to death. Your son thought he was about to become an orphan," Murong Fuhai patted his chest, exhaling in relief as he joked.

"Hey, you brat, your mother..." Murong Chayue retorted immediately upon hearing this.

Listening to Murong Chayue's angry scolding, the mood of everyone present lightened significantly, and the lingering gloom dissipated quite a bit.

Murong Huai also felt relieved. If he hadn't known about the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well in advance and brought back the immortal herbs, his grandparents would likely have fallen, leaving only Golden Crocodile among the seven Great Offerings.

Murong Chayue and Xiao Qingmei's injuries were fully recovered. As Title Douluo-level powerhouses, the boost provided by the immortal herbs was smaller compared to those at lower levels, and their soul power did not break through, which was within Murong Huai's expectations. After all, repairing meridians and martial soul trauma alone consumed most of the medicinal power.

The two had awakened two hours ago, and everyone had informed them about the immortal herbs. After meditating and adjusting their breathing, they had completely integrated the power.

Hearing that only he and Golden Crocodile remained of the seven Great Offerings, a look of desolation appeared in Murong Chayue's eyes. The seven of them had been offerings together for decades; he had not expected that things would change so much, with only two of them surviving.

At this moment, Xiao Qingmei noticed that the aura on Murong Fuhai was very unstable and said:

"Fuhai, why is your aura so chaotic? You must have sustained significant injuries as well."

"Sigh, the Black Flame Army was built by my own hands, and the military formations place a heavy burden on the one leading the array. Fuhai also controlled the Star Dome Spirit-Boosting Array and the Soul-Fusion Array, the two most taxing formations, and was severely wounded..." Murong Chayue sighed.

Hearing their words, Murong Huai realized that his father's injuries could no longer be delayed. Otherwise, if the injuries accumulated and formed hidden ailments, his cultivation and lifespan would be affected. He did not want his father to end up like Tang Hao, forced to sever his own soul bones to clear away hidden injuries.

"Don't worry, Grandfather. Now that you and Grandmother have awakened, we will head to the Sunset Forest again later. There are still many immortal-grade herbs there, including some that can treat my father's injuries."

"Hmm, that is good." Murong Chayue nodded upon hearing this.

Following the battle at Sea God Island, Martial Soul Hall had suffered heavy losses and could be said to be in a state of needing total reconstruction. Qian Daoliu ordered Qian Xunji to act as regent, distributing settlement funds to the families of all soldiers who sacrificed their lives in the battle, based on their rank.

The children of all fallen soldiers, if they possessed soul power, regardless of the amount, were permitted to study at the Martial Soul Academy with all fees waived.

If they lacked soul power, they would be provided with basic positions. As long as they did not violate the laws of Martial Soul Hall in the future, their livelihood would be guaranteed.

If they wished to join the army, after three years of training, provided they met other criteria and their parents were officers of the third rank or higher (excluding the third rank), they would be directly commissioned as officers three ranks lower than their parents' original positions.
