The Grandmaster, watching Qi Ling surrounded by people, sighed helplessly to himself, "These children are too open-minded. They're not even fourteen years old yet, they're so precocious."
"Alright, alright, you can get down now. I'm not leaving, so don't get so worked up!" Qi Ling said helplessly to the three girls. "Fine, I'll let you carry me every day from now on, okay?"
"Really? Then you can't go back on your word!" Xiao Wu said happily, "This time, no matter where you go, I'll follow you!"
"I... I'm here too!" Ning Rongrong whispered.
Although Zhu Zhuqing didn't say anything, she hugged Qi Ling even tighter, which undoubtedly showed her attitude.
After the three of them calmed down, they remembered that Tang San was also there. Xiao Wu stuck out her tongue and immediately gave him a warm hug, saying, " Brother San, welcome back! I missed you so much!"
"You haven't come back for so long without even saying hello! We were so worried! We won't forgive you if you don't bring us any gifts!"
"Of course there are gifts, and they were all carefully selected by my brother and me. There will be one for each of you!" Tang San said with a smile. "But let's wait for Mubai to arrive and give them to you all at once."
" Xiao San, what gift have you prepared? Mubai is currently in a crucial stage of seclusion. If it's not important, it's best not to disturb him," the Grandmaster said.
" Grandmaster, rest assured, these are herbs that my elder brother and I carefully selected for everyone from Dugu Bo! And I believe these herbs will play a significant role in Mubai's breakthrough to level 40."
After listening to Tang San's words, the Grandmaster frowned slightly and said, " Xiao San, the foundation of Soul Master ultimately depends on one's own hard work and cultivation; external aids can only play a supporting role."
"In the past, quite a few Soul Master hoped to enhance their strength through drugs, but none of them ended well. You are already exceptionally talented; you don't need to take such shortcuts. If you force growth, it will be counterproductive."
Tang San confidently said, "Teacher, don't worry. The herbs we give to everyone are specially prepared according to each person's unique characteristics. They will only improve their physical condition and will not have any side effects."
The Grandmaster nodded and said, "Then I'm relieved. Ma Hongjun, go and call Dai Mubai here."
Not long after, Dai Mubai arrived. He was overjoyed to see Qi Ling and Tang San, whom he hadn't seen in a long time. Over the past six months, he had become even more domineering and looked much more mature.
"You two, you finally decided to come back! Especially you, Qi Ling, these three girls have been so lovesick, they can't eat or drink, they're longing for your return day and night. If you hadn't come back soon, they might all have gotten lovesick!" Dai Mubai teased.
Hearing Dai Mubai's words, Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing blushed. After their earlier impulsiveness subsided, the two of them immediately became shy again.
Only Xiao Wu seemed completely unconcerned, clinging to Qi Ling's arm as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
After warmly greeting the two, Dai Mubai said, "By the way, Fatty told me you brought us gifts that can help me break through my limits. What kind of goodies are they?"
Qi Ling smiled and said, "Don't rush, let's find a quiet place first, and then we'll surprise you!"
Led by the Grandmaster, the group arrived at the place where Liu Erlong had previously lived; there was no more secluded place in the entire academy.
"Let's begin. I'll protect you," the Grandmaster said.
The herbs prepared for everyone were naturally stored with Tang San. He first took out a large chrysanthemum and handed it to Dai Mubai, saying, " Mubai, this is yours."
Dai Mubai looked at the chrysanthemum in his hand. Although it looked quite precious, he couldn't figure out what it was for. So he asked, "What is this? Is it for making tea?"
Tang San smiled slightly and said, "This is a Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, a neutral-grade immortal herb. Consuming it can improve blood circulation, circulate qi and blood throughout the limbs, open the eight meridians, and help you develop an indestructible body! It's perfect for you!"
"Indestructible? That's amazing!" Dai Mubai exclaimed in surprise. "If I were to master this indestructible body, could I withstand a punch from Qi Ling?"
"Uh..." Tang San immediately felt embarrassed and said, "The so-called indestructible body is just an exaggeration, but this thing can indeed make your cultivation twice as effective..."
"Haha, Xiao San, I was just kidding, don't mind me!" Dai Mubai laughed. "If this herb could really block Qi Ling's punch, it would be a game-changer."
"I don't think it's a bad idea, Mubai. Why don't you eat it, and then we can give it a try?" Qi Ling smiled and waved her fist, scaring Dai Mubai into begging for mercy.
"Goodbye, Qi Ling, I never want to experience your fists again!"
After accepting the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, Dai Mubai went to take the herbal medicine as instructed by Tang San.
"Hehe, Boss Qi, Xiao San, what good stuff have you prepared for me? Is it also a divine herb?" Oscar asked impatiently.
"Of course you'll get your share!" Tang San said, taking out a jade box. "These are the Immortal Herb I selected for you. Open them and take a look!"
Oscar happily accepted the jade box from Tang San's hand. He couldn't wait to open it, and a wonderful fragrance filled every corner of the room, refreshing the mind and spirit.
Inside the jade box lay a quiet eight-petaled Lan Hua, its entire body pure white and crystalline, exuding an air of aloofness and otherworldly elegance.
Tang San explained, "This is called the Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid, a celestial herb with the properties of never withering for a thousand years and never fading for a hundred generations. Its medicinal properties are extremely mild, making it the most suitable herb for you, Xiao Ao!"
"At the same time, this substance is easy to absorb, but its effects can last for a long time, enough to make up for the slow cultivation speed of your Food System Soul Master. The effects can last until you reach level 70."
"Wow? Really? This is an incredible gift!" Oscar exclaimed excitedly. " Xiao San, don't worry, from now on, you and Boss Qi will have priority in supplying me with sausages!"
"I refuse!" Qi Ling said bluntly, "My Soul Power is abundant, so you don't need to worry about it!"
"Um..." Tang San hesitated for a moment before saying, " Xiao Ao, why don't you absorb this Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid first? There's no special way to eat it; you can just put it in your mouth and chew it."
By the time Oscar excitedly ran to the side of the room, ready to absorb the Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid, Ma Hongjun couldn't resist rushing forward and saying, " Brother San! Mine, mine!"
Seeing Ma Hongjun's excited expression, Tang San laughed and said, "Don't worry, I won't forget you! Fatty, your Evil Fire is powerful, but it has too many impurities, which is why there are so many problems!"
"That's why I chose this highly nutritious plant for you, the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower!"
