Lin Yan said no more. With a thought, he took out several jade boxes from his Storage Soul Tool. These jade boxes were warm and smooth, with a faint spiritual aura surrounding their surface. It was clear at a glance that they were not ordinary items. They were specially used to store precious medicinal materials and could lock in the medicinal properties to the greatest extent.
He first turned his attention to the Shi Mo and Shi Mo brothers, the Black Tortoise.
" Shi Mo, Shi Mo." Lin Yan took out two jade boxes and placed them on the table in front of them.
He opened one of them, and immediately a surge of righteous energy, accompanied by a rich aura of Vajra, filled the air. Inside the jade box lay a large chrysanthemum. The chrysanthemum was a magnificent purple, each petal was fuzzy and radiated a golden light, and the stamen was half a foot higher than the petals, its tip shimmering with a faint golden glow.
"This is called ' Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum,' a neutral-grade immortal herb. Consuming it allows one to circulate qi throughout the limbs and unblock the eight meridians, thus cultivating an indestructible body," Lin Yan explained. "While the claim of an indestructible body is somewhat exaggerated, this herb is highly compatible with your Black Tortoise Martial Soul."
Next, he opened the second jade box. An intensely fragrant ginseng aroma instantly filled the entire room, invigorating everyone who smelled it. Inside the jade box was an old ginseng root that resembled a baby, its entire body as clear as jade, with abundant roots like whiskers, and a faint glow flowing across its surface.
"This one is the ' Ten Thousand Year Ginseng King.' Although it's not as fierce and domineering as the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, it excels in its mild and mellow medicinal properties, containing a massive amount of life essence. Consuming it can strengthen the body's foundation, greatly enhance blood and vitality, and prolong life. For Defense System Soul Master, a profound life foundation is also the cornerstone of a resilient defense."
Lin Yan looked at the two brothers and solemnly said, " The Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum focuses on ultimate defense and strength; the Ten Thousand Year Ginseng King focuses on the Life Origin and recovery. Both are supreme treasures, but their focuses are different. How you choose depends on your own consideration of your future paths."
Shi Mo and Shi Mo looked at the two Immortal Herb, and their breathing became rapid.
The two brothers exchanged a glance, and quickly made their choice.
The older brother Shi Mo, said, "I choose the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum!"
Younger brother Shi Mo smiled honestly and said, "I want this Ten Thousand Years Ginseng King!"
Lin Yan nodded, handed the two jade boxes to the two brothers, and explained in detail the method of consumption and precautions. The two brothers hugged the jade boxes tightly, as if they were holding priceless treasures, their faces flushed with excitement.
Then, Lin Yan looked at Yu Feng and Osler.
He took out a jade box and opened it. Inside was an eight-petaled orchid, its petals crystal clear like jade, as if sculpted from ice and snow, emitting a clear and delicate fragrance that calmed the mind.
" Yu Feng, your Wind Chime Bird Martial Soul excels in speed and agility, so this ' Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid ' is most suitable for you. Its medicinal properties are mild and mellow, which can strengthen your foundation, remove impurities, and unblock your meridians, making your Soul Power flow more swiftly and smoothly. It can help you take your speed to the next level, and your foundation will be extremely stable." Lin Yan handed the jade box to Yu Feng.
Yu Feng's hands trembled slightly as he accepted the orchid, which resembled a work of art. Overwhelmed with emotion, he stammered, "Thank you! This... this is so precious! My life is yours from now on!"
Lin Yan smiled and took out another jade box, handing it to Osler. Inside was a pure white jade-like fairy Immortal Herb, crystal clear, with leaves like daffodil petals, radiating a hazy white halo, and a Qing Ya fragrance wafting out.
" Osler, your Ghost Leopard Martial Soul focuses on speed and explosiveness. This ' Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone ' can temper your muscles and bones, purify your physique, and make your body more flexible and coordinated, with even greater explosive power."
Osler grinned widely, carefully accepting the jade box, and patted his chest, promising, "Thank you Brother Yan! From now on, I'm yours. If you say east, I'll never go west!"
Then, Lin Yan looked at Dugu Yan and took out a slightly smaller jade box. Inside was a purplish-red lingzhi mushroom with cloud-like patterns on its surface, emitting a faint purple halo and a peaceful aura.
" Sister Yan, you've already consumed the Sweet Potato Golden Dragon, your Martial Soul has evolved, and your foundation is solid. This ' Nine-Grade Purple Ganoderma ' isn't a celestial item, but it's an excellent treasure for strengthening your foundation and breaking through bottlenecks. Its medicinal properties are mild, and it can further solidify your foundation, helping you smoothly break through the level 40 bottleneck. Your future path will be much smoother," Lin Yan explained. Dugu Yan's condition is already very good; what she needs is guidance to develop naturally, rather than another violent evolution.
Dugu Yan accepted the Nine-Grade Purple Ganoderma and smiled sweetly, "Xiao Xu Xiaoyan, you're so thoughtful, thank you!" There was no need for excessive formalities between her and Lin Yan.
Finally, Lin Yan's gaze fell on Ye Lingling, his eyes softening considerably, even carrying a hint of barely perceptible tension.
He took out a Immortal Herb, which was an ordinary-looking white flower, about the size of a palm, shaped like a peony, without any leaves. A large stone was attached to the root, which was completely black. From the way Lin Yan carried it, one could tell that it was extremely heavy.
On that white flower were several striking red petals, so vividly red as blood that they gave one a somewhat breathtaking feeling.
Lin Yan's voice became low and solemn. He looked into Ye Lingling's eyes and slowly introduced her:
" Lingling, this Immortal Herb herb is named ' Lovesick Heartbreak Red.' It also has another name: 'A Celestial Treasure, a Divine Treasure Among Flowers.' It has a legendary story: Long ago, there was a young man, gentle by nature, who loved tending flowers and trees. His garden was filled with lotus blossoms and lotus roots, a riot of colors. He often recited poems to the flowers, raising his cup to the moon. But whenever a flower fell, he would be filled with endless sorrow, gathering the petals and burying them in the ground, weeping repeatedly. As the saying goes, true love moves heaven and earth; his love for flowers touched a celestial flower fairy, who secretly descended to the mortal realm to marry him. Their blissful union was naturally boundless. However, their happiness was short-lived. The gods learned of their affair and were greatly angered. They decreed that a celestial being and a mortal could not be together, and ordered the flower fairy to be banished to the Divine Realm. Since losing his love..." The young man, constantly sighing and melancholy, neglected his gardening, causing the walls to crumble, the fences to collapse, and the flowers and trees to wither, leaving the garden desolate. One day, an old man with white hair came and told him that the white peony he loved in the garden was the embodiment of his beloved wife. He only needed to destroy the flower, and the flower fairy would lose her celestial body and be banished to the mortal world to reunite with him. But he must not destroy the flower. After speaking, he turned into a gentle breeze and disappeared. The young man suddenly realized his mistake and deeply regretted his neglect of the flowers. He carefully tended to the plants again. Although he loved his wife, he could not bear to burn the peony. He cherished it even more, weeping day and night over the flower. When his tears dried and his heart broke, he died of unrequited love. At the end of his life, he dripped his blood onto the petals. You see those crimson bloodstains; they are the blood of the young man's heart.
After the story was told, both the Shi Mo Shi Mo and the Yu Feng Osler were somewhat mesmerized. Even Dugu Yan was captivated and unable to contain himself.
Ye Lingling listened quietly, her cool face revealing little expression, but her clear, deep eyes rippled slightly as she gazed intently at the pale and poignant flower.
Lin Yan looked at Ye Lingling and said gently, "This flower is no ordinary plant; it chooses its master. When picking it, you must think of your beloved, be sincere and devoted, and spit out a mouthful of blood onto the petals. If you are even slightly distracted, you will die from spitting blood, but you will never be able to pick the flower. Once the flower is picked, it will never wither as long as it stays with its master. The stone beneath the flower is named Black Severance. If you forcibly destroy it, this Lovesick Heartbreak Red will also lose all its medicinal power. Consuming this herb grants immortality, comparable to heaven and earth. I conservatively estimate that it can increase your Soul Power by at least ten levels and also comprehensively transform your body. Lingling, I hope you can become this destined person."
Ye Lingling raised her head and met Lin Yan's gaze. She didn't speak, but instead circulated her Soul Power and activated her blood and qi. Her cherry lips parted slightly, and she spat out a mouthful of blood onto the flower petals.
The next moment, the Lovesick Heartbreak Red quietly left the Black Severance Stone and fell into Lingling's delicate hand.
Looking at the trembling flower in her palm, seemingly possessing life, Ye Lingling's usually aloof face finally blossomed into a breathtakingly beautiful smile, tinged with tears. She raised her eyes to look at Lin Yan, her gaze filled with unprecedented determination and tenderness.
No words are needed; everything is understood without being said.
Lin Yan smiled too, a huge weight lifted from her heart, and she was filled with indescribable joy and emotion.
"Take it, Lingling."
Ye Lingling nodded without hesitation and gently put the Lovesick Heartbreak Red from her palm into her mouth.
The Immortal Herb melted instantly upon entering her mouth, transforming into a warm and vast current that instantly spread throughout her entire body...
