Chapter 30: The True Efficacy of the Immortal Grade Herb for Couples

Having completed the Ice and Fire Body Tempering, Lingxu began to harvest the medicinal herbs inside.

He did not know if these had grown naturally or had been planted by someone with intent.

The medicinal herbs inside were everything one could wish for; most were extremely rare, and even the common ones were mostly aged specimens of several thousand or even ten thousand years.

Regardless of whether they were common, as long as they had age, they were extremely precious.

Besides these, there were also some necrotic and withered medicinal herbs inside.

These had decayed and died because they had matured beyond their own growth limits.

Most were over ten thousand years old, and Lingxu felt it was a pity as he looked at them.

Fortunately, although many medicinal herbs had withered, some seeds remained on them.

As long as there were seeds with some vitality, Lingxu planted them all.

Collecting various medicinal herbs and tilling the soil for planting took Lingxu another three days of work.

Lingxu did not know how long the Ice and Fire Body Tempering had taken, but adding it all up, he had been out for seven or eight days, and his parents might be getting anxious.

Originally, he had planned to use the Immortal Grade Herb "Watching Over the Autumn Water," which could not only enhance the function of his eyes but also significantly boost his Mental Power.

Lingxu's current Mental Power had already reached the peak of level 79; with this "Watching Over the Autumn Water," he would certainly be able to break through the limit to reach level 80 or above, allowing his Mental Power to materialize.

In this way, his Spirit Bone Skill could reach a higher level; if he were to face that level 58 Soul King again, Lingxu estimated that using this skill would be enough to kill them.

Flying up to the cliff, Lingxu had already memorized the location of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

It was just that he could not yet set up an array to make the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well his exclusive territory, nor could he order anyone to guard it.

Fortunately, the medicinal herbs inside had basically been harvested by him, so even if someone came, they would only be able to find the seedlings of these herbs.

At level 40 soul power, Lingxu was already able to absorb his fourth Spirit Ring.

It was not impossible to do so; he only needed to kill a suitable Spirit Beast and then bring it into the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to absorb it.

The Spirit Beasts dared not enter the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, so it was very safe inside.

However, Lingxu's task was to search for a Spirit Ring together with Qian Renxue, so Lingxu still had to go back first.

Inside Heaven Dou City.

Inside the First Prince's mansion, Qian Renxue put down the book in her hand and thought to herself: Where on earth did Brother Lingxu go? Why hasn't he returned yet?

He said he wanted to give me a surprise; what could it be?

Over these past few days, Qian Renxue had not seen Lingxu, and she felt a sense of emptiness in her heart.

In fact, she had thought a lot about what Lingxu had said during this time; if she had thought of it sooner, she would definitely have chosen the method Lingxu mentioned.

At Lingxu's home, Ling Bufan and Luo Xingyue were also very anxious.

Because Lingxu had never gone out alone like this since he was small; although he was already a Soul Elder, in their eyes, Lingxu was still a child.

"Bufan, you've had people searching for several days, is there any news?" Luo Xingyue asked.

Ling Bufan shook his head helplessly and said, "There is no useful news yet! Xingyue, don't be anxious; Lingxu has been smart since he was a child, he should be fine."

"I hope so!" Luo Xingyue said.

"He's back, he's back, the Young Master is back." Liu'er and Huoyun'er, the two maids, shouted out loud.

Luo Xingyue stood up from her chair at once and rushed out in an instant.

Ling Bufan smiled and said, "See, I told you our son would be fine."

Leaving home like this, Lingxu would certainly not escape a scolding.

Being scolded was to be expected; he had run off for eight or nine days after leaving a note, without a single word of news—which parents wouldn't be worried?

Not getting a beating would be considered lucky.

After a round of scolding, Lingxu finally promised Luo Xingyue.

In the future, no matter where he went, he would greet them, at least letting them know where Lingxu had gone, rather than like this time, with no news at all.

Lingxu ate his dinner amidst the sound of one lecture after another.

At night, for the first time ever, Lingxu did not go back to cultivate, but instead came to his parents' room.

Ling Bufan and Luo Xingyue were both a bit surprised.

In the past, Lingxu rarely looked for them at night; he basically went back to his room to cultivate after finishing dinner.

"Son, is something the matter?" Luo Xingyue asked.

Lingxu did not answer first, but directly released his martial soul and soul power.

"Dad, Mom, you two feel my soul power first." Lingxu smiled.

Ling Bufan and Luo Xingyue looked at Lingxu with some confusion.

After all, it hadn't been long since Lingxu had advanced to level 36; could he have broken through already?

But as soon as Lingxu's soul power manifested, they saw the difference.

Lingxu's soul power was clearly much stronger than before.

"This soul power fluctuation, it should be at level 40, right?"

"How is that possible?"

"Son, you went out for a few days, and your soul power increased by four levels?"

Luo Xingyue and Ling Bufan looked at Lingxu with astonishment.

Lingxu said, "Yes, I consumed an Immortal Grade Medicinal Herb, so my soul power increased quite a bit."

"Immortal Grade Medicinal Herb? Son, you said you consumed an Immortal Grade Medicinal Herb?" Ling Bufan asked in surprise.

Lingxu nodded and said, "Yes, Dad, do you know about Immortal Grade herbs too?"

This actually surprised Lingxu a little; Ling Bufan actually knew of the existence of Immortal Grade medicinal herbs.

Thinking about it, it wasn't impossible; in this world, at least that Chrysanthemum Douluo knew, and that Yang Wudi also knew of the existence of the Fragrant Silk Luo Immortal Herb.

Immortal Grade medicinal herbs were not exclusive to that Tang San.

After Ling Bufan obtained the Immortal Grade Medicinal Herb, the first thing he thought of after consuming it himself was to give some to his parents; there was no need to be in such a rush regarding Qian Renxue.

Ling Bufan said, "I know, I remember it was over ten years ago, Chrysanthemum Douluo showed our squad the data on Immortal Grade Medicinal Herbs, and he told us to keep an eye out for these herbs during our various missions."

"It's a pity that we kept watch for many years, but we never discovered any traces of Immortal Grade Medicinal Herbs."

"Son, your level forty soul power looks very stable; no wonder Chrysanthemum Douluo wanted to find Immortal Grade Medicinal Herbs."

"Where did you find them?"

Lingxu knew that after he took them out, his parents would ask him, and he had already prepared his explanation for the Immortal Grade Medicinal Herbs.

However, since Ling Bufan already knew of the existence of the Immortal Grade Medicinal Herbs, that saved him some effort in explaining.

"Dad, when I was wandering around Heaven Dou City before, I found a few broken pieces of a treasure map at a small stall. After I pieced them together, I discovered that the treasure location was in the area of the thousand-year Spirit Beasts in the Sunset Forest. I saw that I could handle it, so I went to the Sunset Forest these past few days, and I didn't expect that I would really find Immortal Grade Medicinal Herbs."

"Dad, Mom, not only did I consume an Immortal Grade Medicinal Herb, but I also prepared some for you."

Ling Bufan had not yet emerged from his expression of surprise when Lingxu took out two portions of Immortal Grade Medicinal Herbs from the system.

One was the Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid, and the other was the Silk Velvet Tulip.

These were a pair of couple-themed Immortal Grade Medicinal Herbs that complemented each other; the Herb Compendium said that when consuming them, one could also add an herb called Heart-to-Heart, and consuming them together had a better effect than consuming them separately.

Furthermore, after consumption, it could allow the martial souls of a couple to produce a certain resonance, strengthening their Martial Soul Fusion degree, and after being together for a long time, there would be a chance to comprehend a Martial Soul Fusion Skill.

This was the reason why Lingxu chose these two Immortal Grade Medicinal Herbs for his parents.

Couple-themed Immortal Grade Medicinal Herbs—Tang San simply didn't understand them!

Actually, the Wondrous Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum and the Narcissus Jade Bone could also work, but one of them was the same as Chrysanthemum Douluo's martial soul.

Everyone was situated within the Spirit Hall, and being discovered by Chrysanthemum Douluo might lead to danger, so Lingxu chose these two types of Immortal Grade Medicinal Herbs.

Moreover, his father had previously received orders from Chrysanthemum Douluo; if he found the Wondrous Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum and ate it himself without giving it to him, wouldn't that put his father in danger!
