An Angel Fed Him Porridge, Spirit Hall's True Lineage Was in Heaven Dou-Bonus Update for 8,000 Bookmarks
Qi and Blood, blood, Soul Power, and Mental Power are no longer three independent forces. Instead, they seem to have been integrated into one, not only able to circulate independently, but also able to combine in pairs at will and be allocated at will, without any hindrance or difficulty.
Taking advantage of the fact that his Soul Power and Mental Power had just recovered to about 50-60%, he wanted to try to verify this control. So he carefully mobilized a Mental Power, a wisp of Soul Power, and a trace of newly generated Qi and Blood to try to fuse them.
The moment the three forces touched, they spontaneously generated a strong resonance, and a power fluctuation condensed to the extreme suddenly spread out from his body.
Boom!
A powerful will surged from Tang Shan's eyes, startling Xue Qinghe, who was sitting at a desk nearby, engrossed in processing documents.
She looked at Tang Shan, her surprise fading and replaced by an undisguised joy.
"Tang Shan, you've finally woken up!"
Tang Shan hadn't expected such a small experiment to cause such a commotion, and a hint of embarrassment flashed across his face. He propped himself up on his arms, barely managing to sit up, and looked at Xue Qinghe, asking, "Your Highness, how long have I been asleep? Have you been in my room the whole time?"
Xue Qinghe remained expressionless, her tone perfectly natural. "I just arrived a little while ago, and came to check on you since I had nothing else to do. You've been sleeping for a whole week now."
As soon as she finished speaking, under the shade of a tree outside the courtyard, the Golden Crocodile Douluo, who had been startled by the unusual movement of power within Tang Shan, was sending out a wisp of spiritual energy...
He probed into the room and happened to catch these words.
His Mental Power suddenly faltered, then he silently withdrew: Xiao Xue, isn't it you who moved that makeshift bed and stayed in this room every day?
Tang Shan didn't notice anything amiss, assuming Xue Qinghe had just arrived. He casually asked about what he had vaguely overheard earlier, "Your Highness, I think I heard a report on the training of the Body Martial Soul Master, but I didn't hear the whole thing. How's the progress now?"
Xue Qinghe avoided answering, got up and walked to the table, picked up the bowl of warm nourishing porridge, and lightly touched the bowl with his fingertips to check the temperature before returning to the bedside. "Let's not talk about that now. You've been asleep for seven days, and while your Soul Power and Mental Power have recovered by about 50-60%, your Qi and Blood are still severely depleted and in a state of depletion. Drink this porridge first to replenish your Qi and Blood, and we'll talk about other things after you've recovered."
"Okay." Tang Shan did not refuse. At this moment, he was starving, and the heat from the lack of Qi and Blood was really uncomfortable. He really needed to recover his strength first. He reached out to take the bowl of porridge, but Xue Qinghe nimbly dodged behind him with the bowl in her hand.
"Look at your hands." Xue Qinghe slapped his hand away impatiently. "They're so weak you can barely lift them, you can't even hold a bowl properly, and you expect to drink by yourself?"
Tang Shan looked down at his trembling hands, his face showing even more embarrassment. Yes, even though his Soul Power had recovered considerably, his Qi and Blood were completely depleted, and his whole body was so weak that he couldn't muster any strength. Xue Qinghe was right. He hesitated for a moment, then a thought crossed his mind, "Then... how about Your Highness find a maid to feed me?"
If she let them feed her, who knows what they might do to the porridge. If she hadn't given strict orders forbidding anyone from doing so...
The people from the courtyard near Tang Shan were disturbing his cultivation; they would probably come knocking on Tang Shan's door every night.
If this bowl of Qi and Blood porridge were to fall into their hands, it might turn into a "poisonous porridge" that damages Tang Shan's Vital Essence. That's absolutely unacceptable!
"Things haven't been peaceful at your residence lately." Xue Qinghe quickly came up with a seemingly reasonable excuse, "Many spies from other factions have infiltrated among the maids. They have impure intentions, and I really don't trust them to feed you."
Upon hearing this, Tang Shan blinked blankly. "I've only been asleep for a week, how come so many spies have infiltrated the manor?" But then he thought that Xue Qinghe was the Crown Prince, so there was no need for him to lie to him about such a trivial matter. Therefore, he accepted this somewhat absurd reason with some skepticism.
The porridge was fragrant and Sisi, its aroma permeating his taste buds. His stomach immediately began to rumble and protest, urging him to eat. Tang Shan rubbed his stomach, thinking that since he could still mobilize some Soul Power, he might as well use it to activate the Amethyst External Soul Bone to condense a straw and drink from it himself.
Meanwhile, Xue Qinghe, seeing his troubled expression, went through a fierce internal struggle, eventually convincing herself with the reason, "I am the Crown Prince; it is only natural for me to care for my capable subordinates." She looked up at Tang Shan and said decisively, "Never mind, I'll feed you."
Tang Shan was stunned for a moment, and the words that were about to come out stuck in his throat.
Seeing him open his mouth, Xue Qinghe took it as agreement, immediately picked up a spoon, scooped up a small spoonful of porridge, gently blew on it to make sure it wasn't too hot, and neatly handed it to his mouth.
They'd already brought the porridge right to his doorstep, so what could Tang Shan say? He could only open his mouth and drink it.
He had just swallowed a mouthful of porridge and was about to speak about the method of condensing Amethyst matter into a straw when a second spoonful of porridge was handed to him, forcing him to swallow his words back.
There's no need to elaborate on the meal; Tang Shan only felt that Xue Qinghe truly lived up to her reputation as a future Crown Prince, always acting decisively and efficiently. Several times throughout the meal, he tried to speak, but the spoon placed at his lips stopped him. She fed him quickly and steadily, her movements fluid and graceful, without spilling a single drop of porridge.
As expected of one of only two god-level Martial Soul in this era, the Angel Martial Soul possesses top-notch perception and learning abilities. Even though it was likely Xue Qinghe's first time feeding someone, he mastered the temperature control of the porridge after only a few tries, ensuring each spoonful was warm but not scalding, just right.
After finishing a bowl of porridge, Tang Shan's hunger subsided considerably, and his Qi and Blood seemed to have recovered somewhat, giving him a bit of strength. He rested against the headboard for a moment, then raised his hand, touched his Soul Tool, and took out an exquisite jade box, handing it to Xue Qinghe: "Your Highness, this is what I obtained at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well —a fire-attribute Immortal Herb. I have no use for it, so you should take it; it should slightly improve your talent."
Xue Qinghe took the jade box, and the moment he opened it, a rich surge of Soul Power rushed out.
Inside the box lay an Immortal Herb, its veins a pale gold, its tip a bright red like a rooster's comb. It was the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower that she had seen when she helped Tang Shan copy down information on Immortal Herb!
"This is... Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower?" Xue Qinghe's pupils suddenly contracted, his tone filled with shock.
When she first read the records of Immortal Herb, she knew that many of them would greatly benefit her Angel Martial Soul. However, the growing environment for these Immortal Herb was extremely demanding. Unless her grandfather and Golden Crocodile Grandfather personally searched for them across the continent and even at sea, they were simply impossible to obtain.
The possibility.
She had only mentioned it casually to Tang Shan, never expecting him to actually find it!
"Don't you need it yourself?" Xue Qinghe didn't accept it immediately. Instead, he frowned and looked at Tang Shan, full of confusion. "This Immortal Herb should also be of considerable benefit to you, right?"
"I've already used other Immortal Herb," Tang Shan answered quite frankly. "The reason I was able to create that Self-Created Soul Skill in Dugu Bo's Medicine Garden was because I consumed the immortal Immortal Herb from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. By the way, I call Dugu Bo's Medicine Garden the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well."
"Then why doesn't it look like there's any change?" Xue Qinghe was still somewhat suspicious, looking him up and down. "His Soul Power Level hasn't increased either."
"Because the two Immortal Herb I took mainly enhance potential, not increase Soul Power Level," Tang Shan patiently explained.
Indeed, the vast majority of the medicinal power of the Bodhi Vajra Fruit and the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew he consumed settled deep within his Martial Soul, transforming into untapped potential.
Now, relying on his body's instinctive intuition, Tang Shan understands that as long as he develops half of his inner potential, he can enable his Body Martial Soul to complete Golden-Level Second Awakening.
At that time, he couldn't even imagine how terrifying his strength would soar if he activated all his amplification abilities.
"How could so many Immortal Herb be found so easily?" Xue Qinghe still found it hard to believe. "The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well truly..."
Are there so many treasures?
Tang Shan smiled helplessly, his tone sincere. "Your Highness, I really didn't lie to you. There are indeed quite a few Immortal Herb. I've already set aside a portion for my elder brother and father, and this Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower is specifically for you. Although it's not a top-tier Immortal Herb and won't drastically increase your talent, it will still be good if it improves it a little."
Seeing that his attitude was sincere and there was not a trace of falsehood, Xue Qinghe finally believed him.
As for asking for more, the thought never even crossed her mind.
Xue Qinghe knew that Tang Shan's gains were a result of his helping Dugu Yan detoxify, and were rightfully his. He already felt bad about accepting the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower, so how could he be greedy?
She solemnly closed the jade box and stored it in her Soul Tool: "Thank you, Tang Shan."
Tang Shan smiled, said nothing more, and took out a large purple flower from his Soul Tool. He stood up and walked to the shade of a tree outside the courtyard, bowing to the seated Golden Crocodile Douluo and saying, "Grandpa Golden Crocodile, this Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum is for you. It can circulate Qi in your limbs and open up your eight meridians, which should greatly benefit your cultivation of Internal Martial Arts."
Golden Crocodile Douluo slowly opened his eyes, his gaze falling on the large purple flower, his expression immediately becoming somewhat strange. He wondered to himself: What exactly is going on with Dugu Bo? He had so many good things hidden in his Medicine Garden, yet he couldn't solve his family's poison problem, and in the end, it all benefited this kid in front of him?
He examined the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum carefully for a moment, then, without refusing, reached out and took it. His fingertips traced the petals as he thoughtfully asked, "Tang Shan, is it alright if I give this Immortal Herb to someone else?"
Tang Shan's heart skipped a beat, and he instantly guessed Golden Crocodile Douluo's intentions—he probably wanted to use him to win over Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan.
He immediately smiled and nodded, "Since it's been given to Grandpa Golden Crocodile, it's yours now. You can give it to whomever you want."
"Alright." A glint of light flashed in Golden Crocodile Douluo's eyes. "In that case, perhaps I can help Your Highness recruit some more capable people."
Upon hearing this, Tang Shan paused in his steps as he turned to walk back, his expression instantly becoming incredibly strange.
If he wasn't mistaken, Golden Crocodile Douluo probably wanted to use this Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum to win over Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan. As everyone knows, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo are inseparable. Given their friendship, winning over Yue Guan would essentially be the same as winning over Ghost Douluo as well.
Good heavens, even Pope Bibi Dong's two most capable Super Douluo are being poached by Xue Qinghe. What capable people does Bibi Dong have left?
What's even more outrageous is that if these two really join the Heaven Dou, wouldn't that mean the true lineage of the Spirit Hall would be transferred to the Heaven Dou?
If one day, all the Super Douluo in the Spirit Hall's Worship Hall transform into worshippers of the Crown Prince of Heaven Dou Crown Prince, or even the Heaven Dou Emperor who will unify the continent in the future, the scene would be unimaginable.
