Distributing the Immortal Herbs

The second elder took it, deeply moved.

"Good lad. All the years I spent doting on you weren't for nothing."

With that, the second elder carried the Nine-Grade Purple Ganoderma back to his room to absorb it.

Tang Chen then handed the third elder a jet-black ginseng root.

"Third Elder, this is Profound-Steel Black Ginseng. It nourishes the meridians and infuses your Martial Soul with earth's profound-steel energy, improving its quality. You're at level eighty-eight now. After taking it, you're certain to advance a level, and you won't face another bottleneck before level ninety-five."

The third elder grew excited as he listened to Tang Chen's explanation.

"Young Sect Master, I've got nothing else to say. You have my loyalty!"

The third elder took the Profound-Steel Black Ginseng and went to his room to consume it.

Tang Chen opened another jade box, revealing a herb that looked like a sweet potato.

"Fourth Elder, this Immortal Herb may look like a sweet potato, and its name, Earth Potato, may not sound impressive, but its effect is extraordinary. It can evolve your Martial Soul toward the earth attribute."

The fourth elder accepted the Earth Potato with both hands and said earnestly, "Young Sect Master, if you ever need anything, just say the word. I, Tang Cen, would face ten thousand deaths without hesitation."

He then returned to his room to absorb the Earth Potato.

Of the Clear Sky Sect's elders, only the first elder, Tang Xing, remained.

Tang Chen picked out one of the finest herbs left.

"Second Uncle, I chose this Immortal Herb especially for you. Nothing else would suit you better."

Tang Chen opened the jade box and took out the Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone.

"Second Uncle, this Immortal Herb is called Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone. Gentle and soothing as water, it strengthens tendons and bones, opens the seven channels and eight meridians, and nourishes the fascia, bones, and meridians. It washes away impurities accumulated through cultivation, makes the body more flexible, and improves its foundations. If you absorb it, Second Uncle, you may even have a chance to become a Limit Douluo one day."

Tang Xing accepted it, patted Tang Chen on the shoulder, and said, "Chen'er, your second uncle won't stand on ceremony with you. If you ever need me, just say the word."

Tang Xing then returned to his room to absorb the Immortal Herb.

Next came the herbs for the patriarchs of the Four Single-Attribute Families.

"Patriarch Yang, I've already given you yours, so you're not getting another this time," Tang Chen said with a teasing smile.

Tang Sheng hurriedly replied, "Of course, of course. That's only fair."

Tang Chen took out three jade boxes and handed one to each of the three men.

"Patriarch Tai's is the Thousand-Jun Bone Stabilizer. It strengthens bones, speeds up the body's recovery, and grants a substantial increase in Soul Power when absorbed."

"Patriarch Bai's is Gale Grass. It can take your speed to new heights, give your Sharp-Tailed Swift Martial Soul offensive power, and likewise provide a substantial boost to your Soul Power."

"Patriarch Niu, you're receiving the best Immortal Herb of the lot. Unfortunately, it still needs another thousand years to mature, so its effects will be somewhat weaker. It's called the Earth Dragon Golden Melon. It can strengthen your Martial Soul, grant it dragon blood, and greatly enhance a Soul Master's physique."

Tang Chen handed over the three herbs. The three patriarchs immediately dropped to one knee and cried out, "Young Sect Master, we will serve you even if it costs us ten thousand lives!"

After Tang Chen helped them to their feet, they went to their rooms to absorb the herbs.

With the elders of the Clear Sky Sect and the patriarchs of the Four Single-Attribute Families taken care of, only the Clear Sky Team members remained.

Tang Chen called Cowboy over first and told him, "Cowboy, the Immortal Herb I'm giving you is the same as the one I gave your father. The difference is that yours is fully mature."

Tang Chen handed Cowboy the mature Earth Dragon Golden Melon.

"Cowboy, remember this: the Earth Dragon Golden Melon is far too potent for your body to withstand right now. Don't try to absorb it until you reach level twenty. Until then, you must keep it stored in its jade box. Do not open the box under any circumstances."

Cowboy nodded at Tang Chen's warning. "Got it, Brother Chen. Thanks!"

Cowboy accepted the jade box and tucked it into his storage belt.

Tang Chen called Bai Kai over and handed him a jade box.

"Bai Kai, the Immortal Herb I've prepared for you is called the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower. It's a pure yang Immortal Herb that can improve the quality of your Martial Soul, infuse your Sharp-Tailed Swift with phoenix blood, and grant you Phoenix Flame."

Bai Kai took the jade box and thanked Tang Chen. "Brother Chen, I'm so touched! I can never repay such kindness. I guess I'll have to offer myself to you!"

Bai Kai puckered his lips and leaned in to kiss Tang Chen.

Tang Chen caught Bai Kai by the face and shoved him aside.

"Get lost!"

Bai Kai wasn't upset. He just grinned at Tang Chen.

Tang Chen went on to warn him, "The same goes for you. Wait until you reach level twenty before absorbing the Immortal Herb."

At Tang Chen's warning, Bai Kai gave him an exaggerated salute.

Tang Chen kicked him aside.

Next, Tang Chen gave the Diamond Bodhi Fruit to Tai Kang.

"Tai Kang, you're different from the others. Your physique is strong enough to absorb this Immortal Herb now. It will greatly strengthen your body and bones, give you a substantial amount of Soul Power, and change your Martial Soul as well."

Tai Kang accepted the Diamond Bodhi Fruit and replied solemnly, "Thank you, Young Master. From now on, the Strength Clan will follow your lead. Wherever you point, we'll strike."

Tang Chen was moved by his words. He patted Tai Kang on the shoulder and said, "All right. Go absorb it."

"Yes."

With Tang Chen's permission, Tai Kang returned to his room to absorb the Immortal Herb.

Then it was Yang Wu's turn.

Tang Chen took the Ink Jade Divine Bamboo from his Storage Ring and handed it to Yang Wu.

"Yang Wu, this Immortal Herb is called Ink Jade Divine Bamboo. It's the one best suited to the Breaking Clan. Its medicinal nature is balanced, neither cold nor fierce. It can temper your body and improve the quality of your Martial Soul. For a tool Martial Soul, it can also increase rigidity and toughness. And it will grant you a substantial amount of Soul Power."

Yang Wu said nothing more.

He dropped to one knee and accepted the Ink Jade Divine Bamboo with both hands.

"Young Sect Master, my life is yours."

Tang Chen then sent him home to absorb the Ink Jade Divine Bamboo.

Only Tang Xiao and Ning Zi remained. Tang Chen had long since chosen an herb for Tang Xiao, but he still had to think over what to give Ning Zi.

He decided to give Tang Xiao his herb first and took the Ten-Thousand-Jun Iron-Calyx Flower, one of the most unusual Immortal Herbs, from its jade box.

"Brother Xiao, the Immortal Herb I chose for you is called the Ten-Thousand-Jun Iron-Calyx Flower. It can unlock your body's potential for strength, send your stamina soaring, widen the meridians throughout your body, and improve the quality of your Soul Power. Once you've absorbed it, you'll slowly recover Soul Power whenever you're standing on the ground."

Tang Xiao looked at Tang Chen and said, "Brother Chen, your big brother thanks you."

Their eyes met, and both burst out laughing.

Tang Xiao picked up the Ten-Thousand-Jun Iron-Calyx Flower and went home to absorb it.
