Chapter 53: Dividing the Immortal Herbs

Chapter 53: Dividing the Immortal Herbs

"My master's stamina is truly remarkable, but his endurance and technique..."

Zhu Ming gave Wang Si a coquettish smile and batted her eyelashes at him.

Wang Si just laughed in response.

He then turned his gaze to Zhu Ming, glancing at the herbs by the Ice and Fire Dual Orbs before plucking the Water Nymph Jade Rejuvenation herb.

After plucking the herb, he looked at the Miraculous Mushroom and plucked it as well.

"You can absorb this herb yourself, but give this one to your daughter." Wang Si said as he handed the Water Nymph Jade Rejuvenation to Zhu Ming.

Zhu Ming took the herb and sniffed it gently before looking at Wang Si with curiosity. "What is this for?"

He seemed more concerned about his daughter's herb than his own.

"According to the records in the herb given to me by the Wuhun Temple, this herb is called the Miraculous Mushroom. Consuming it will allow one to develop an indestructible body. Since Zhu Ye always wanted to be a strong assault-type Soul Master, let's see if eating this herb will help her." Wang Si explained. "When eating it, start with the stamen, then eat the petals one by one. You don't need to eat the root and stem; give those back to me later."

Zhu Ming let out a sound of acknowledgment and took out her own herb. "Are there any special instructions for mine?"

"There's nothing special about yours. Its effects are similar to the Miraculous Mushroom. However, when absorbing its essence, you can try cultivating the 'Hundred Refining Bones' and 'Thousand Refining Blood' techniques. Aside from strengthening your foundation, they may also promote the evolution of your martial soul. The evolution of Tang Yuehua's martial soul was influenced by the spirit herb here." Wang Si explained.

While he kept his techniques a secret from others, Zhu Ming and Zhu Ye were family, so he shared his knowledge with them. Aside from the 'Hundred Refining Bones' and 'Thousand Refining Blood', Wang Si had also obtained a new technique when he broke through the 30th level—the 'Ten Thousand Thought Soul'. It was a technique purely for cultivating spiritual power, and when cultivated to its peak, it could instantly generate tens of thousands of thoughts in one's mind.

Upon hearing Wang Si's explanation, Zhu Ming looked toward an area where a cluster of spirit herbs was growing. "Are those spirit herbs? The Reishi Lingzhi is the least effective among them. It can only strengthen the foundation and has no other effects. What really prompted the evolution of Tang Yuehua's martial soul was her own martial soul and the sun's power from the Six-Winged Angel."

Hearing that the Reishi Lingzhi was the least effective herb, Zhu Ming raised her eyebrows. "Master, since the Reishi Lingzhi is the least effective, why don't you prepare some other immortal herbs for Yuehua?"

Wang Si just smiled gently at Zhu Ming. "From your attitude, I can tell you want to be the boss."

Zhu Ming returned his smile with a charming one of her own and pushed out her ample chest. "I'm just thinking of helping my master shoulder some of the pressure so that you can focus more on your cultivation."

Wang Si chuckled and pointed toward the door. "I'm about to absorb the herbs, so you should leave now."

Zhu Ming took the hint and left without disturbing him further, swaying her hips as she walked out.

After seeing her out, Wang Si looked at the Ice and Fire Dual Orbs and stroked his chin thoughtfully. There were quite a few herbs to consider.

The Gorgeous Tulip had an extraordinary effect on the Seven Treasures Liuli Pagoda, and he could consider selling it to Ning Fengzhi. However, he didn't have to sell it to him specifically.

As for Tang Yuehua, aside from the Gorgeous Tulip, only the Eight Petal Immortal Orchid was suitable for her.

As for the other immortal herbs, Wang Si didn't have a suitable candidate in mind yet. Ultimately, it boiled down to his insufficient resources and lack of personnel.

He quickly plucked the Octagonal Dark Ice Grass and the Fiery Apricot Fragrance, then jumped into the Ice and Fire Dual Orbs.

………

"I heard from Sister Ming that you wanted to see me. Is there something you need?" Tang Yuehua asked cautiously as she stood at the balcony, watching the sunset.

Wang Si took out the Gorgeous Tulip and placed it on the table, gesturing for Tang Yuehua to come in and talk.

Tang Yuehua's attention was immediately drawn to the flower on the table, especially its opulent and majestic aura. She instinctively reached out to touch it.

"For this flower, you only need to absorb the essence from the stamen and then refine it by circulating your technique. I'll protect you while you absorb it." Wang Si explained.

Hearing Wang Si's explanation, Tang Yuehua still looked doubtful, but she picked up the Gorgeous Tulip and began absorbing it anyway.

Seeing Tang Yuehua absorb the essence of the Gorgeous Tulip and start meditating, Wang Si breathed a sigh of relief.

His decision to give the Gorgeous Tulip to Tang Yuehua was the result of careful consideration. While both the Gorgeous Tulip and the Eight Petal Immortal Orchid were suitable for her, he would have to think about selling the Gorgeous Tulip to the Seven Treasures Liuli Sect if he kept it for himself. But if she consumed it, he wouldn't have to worry about that.

Furthermore, if the Seven Treasures Liuli Sect found out that he had a Gorgeous Tulip but didn't consume it himself, they would likely suspect him.

"Why didn't you keep such a valuable immortal herb for yourself? Do you know that we, the Seven Treasures Liuli Sect, need this?"

As for the Seven Treasures Liuli Sect, Wang Si had the Ice and Fire Dual Orbs, and he could continue to cultivate them.

......

Having finished her cultivation, Tang Yuehua's face was covered in a sheen of fragrant sweat, and her expression held a hint of disbelief.

She extended her hand, carefully sensing the soul power within her body.

"Did I really reach level thirty?"

Three years ago, her martial soul had evolved, causing her soul power to burst through the shackles of level ten and reach level eighteen instantly.

After that, it took her half a year to digest the excess medicinal effects. With the help of Wang Si and her goddaughter, she became a Grand Soul Master.

For the next two and a half years, her goddaughter and Wang Si often assisted her in her cultivation, and it was only then that she reached level twenty-four.

But now, she had only absorbed a single immortal herb and had advanced to level thirty! Wasn't her cultivation speed a bit too fast?

If she were still young, such a cultivation speed would be nothing out of the ordinary.

But she was already in her forties or fifties, well past the prime of her cultivation years.

"After absorbing the third soul ring, your soul power should reach level thirty-two."

Just as Tang Yuehua was marveling at her cultivation speed, a voice sounded out from a short distance away.

Hearing Wang Si's voice, Tang Yuehua snapped out of her thoughts.

At this moment, Wang Si was sitting on the bed, wrapped in a bath towel, holding a book that recorded something or other.

A night pearl by the bed emitted a dim light that fell upon Wang Si, outlining his well-built muscles and making them appear even more robust.

Seeing Wang Si's muscular body, Tang Yuehua subconsciously turned her head away.

The sky had already darkened, and it was normal for her to have stayed in Wang Si's room from evening until midnight to absorb the immortal herb.

"Mmm, thank you. If there's nothing else, I'll head back first. You should rest early too."

Looking at the empty room, Tang Yuehua felt a sense of unease, and her instincts urged her to leave.

"Aunt Yuehua, why are you in such a hurry? Come and keep me company for a while. I'm quite bored alone here."

Sensing that Tang Yuehua was about to leave, Wang Si tossed the book in his hand, and it landed precisely in front of Tang Yuehua.

On the open page, under the dim candlelight, Tang Yuehua noticed a surname that made her feel a little sensitive: Tang.

Picking up the book, Tang Yuehua pretended not to have seen anything and closed it, but in fact, she had quickly scanned that page.

A few keywords flashed through her mind: "Tang San," "Blacksmithing," and "Bluesilver Emperor."

The surname Tang and blacksmithing made her think of a person.

Bluesilver Emperor, and the number "three" also reminded her of someone.

Was the person recorded in this book, Tang San, perhaps...

As Tang Yuehua's thoughts raced, she had already walked to the bedside! It was only when the book was taken from her hand that she snapped back to reality.

Up close, the first thing she saw was still Wang Si's solid muscles.

Not giving her a chance to speak, a powerful big hand grabbed her and pulled her onto the bed.

"Aunt Yuehua, why are you so careless?"

Wang Si reached out to support Tang Yuehua, adjusting her to a more comfortable position in his embrace.

"Little Si, don't be like this."

Feeling Wang Si's body temperature, Tang Yuehua gently pushed him a few times, to no avail.

"Aunt Yuehua, you've been quite comfortable these past two and a half years, haven't you? You really took advantage of your status as Xue'er's godmother and acted as if you were the master here?"

Wang Si slowly coiled Tang Yuehua's long hair, and in the process, he also intentionally reached out to tease her.

"Don't you think Xue'er is very kind? Do you think that as long as you're good to her, you can ignore me?

You're being a little too naive. Xue'er is very smart. She realized it the first day your love for her became impure.

She just... needs some time to let go of the love you gave her. She knows very well what she wants, and she also knows very well what you want."

Hearing Wang Si directly expose her purposeful contact with Qian Ren Xue, Tang Yuehua's face turned pale.

Especially when she heard that Xue'er had also become aware, Tang Yuehua's entire body couldn't help but shudder.

"Aunt Yuehua, do you know why Xue'er left? It's not because she reached level fifty and needed to return to cultivate. It's because she realized that it was time to wake up from the dream!

Aunt Yuehua, you can't still be immersed in the fantasy of raising a daughter, can you?"

Wang Si slowly released Tang Yuehua, who was trembling with pain or guilt, and he also loosened her belt...
