Chapter 102: Dividing the Immortal Herb

At dusk, the setting sun was blood‑red, and the afterglow painted the horizon a brilliant orange‑red. Yu Tianyun solemnly gathered Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing and Zhu Zhuyun into a quiet room of their villa.

Yu Tianyun took three boxes of different materials from the Storage Soul Conduit, his eyes filled with expectation, and said, "These boxes contain immortal herbs that I have carefully selected for the three of you; they can greatly boost your soul power and improve your cultivation aptitude."

Yu Tianyun gently yet solemnly handed each box to the three women, then continued, "Rongrong, the herb for you is the Ornate Golden Fragrance; after taking it you will be able to absorb the essence of heaven and earth and bathe in the brilliance of sun and moon. Your Seven Treasure Glass Tower already belongs to the treasure class of martial souls, and with the aid of this Ornate Golden Fragrance you will achieve a synergistic effect that makes your cultivation path smoother."

"Zhuqing, this herb is called the Nether Daylily and belongs to you. Taking it will grant you a brief invisibility, increase your speed and insight. Your Nether Spirit Cat has a hint of darkness, and you are of the agile‑attack type; with this herb's boost your combat power will rise sharply, and you will shine in the Soul Master World."

"Zhuyun, the herb for you is called the Shadow Enchanting Orchid. Consuming it grants the ability to bewilder others' minds and also strengthens mental defense, which fits well with the Nether Spirit Cat martial soul."

"Their methods of consumption are as follows…"

"Duguyan took the herb, and his cultivation speed skyrocketed, and his martial soul even evolved; I think you can too. Follow my method now, take the herb immediately, and I will provide protection so no one disturbs you."

Hearing Yu Tianyun's description, the three women were astonished; Yu Tianyun described the herb's effects so dramatically that at first they were skeptical, but at the thought of Duguyan they instantly believed the herb's potency must indeed be that great.

Duguyan's strength had been evident to them these past days; at only 19 she had already reached Soul King level 54, her Fourth Soul Ring was already a Ten‑Thousand‑Year Soul Ring, and such overwhelming power made them feel inferior, while Duguyan naturally became their big sister.

Ning Rongrong's personality has always been straightforward, without much pretense. The recent events had hit her hard, and a surge of energy had been building inside her. At this moment she could not wait any longer, opened the box, and took out the Ornate Golden Fragrance. The instant she saw the flower, she was deeply drawn to its elegant and noble aura.

Ning Rongrong excitedly threw herself into Yu Tianyun's arms, planted a fierce kiss on his cold, proud, handsome face, and after a moment looked up at him sweetly, saying, "Brother Tianyun, you're so kind to me. After I finish absorbing the herb, I'll reward you properly."

After speaking, Ning Rongrong followed Yu Tianyun's instructions without hesitation, swallowed the Ornate Golden Fragrance, then sat cross‑legged, focused her mind to meditate her soul power and refine the herb's medicinal energy.

Ning Rongrong gave a nod; Zhu Zhuqing also could not stay silent. Her pretty face flushed, she stepped lightly to Yu Tianyun, clasped his neck with both hands, gave his lips a gentle peck, then shyly ran to a corner, sat cross‑legged, and began taking the herb.

After the two began refining the herb, Zhu Zhuyun strode over; she has always been bold and generous, and pressed Yu Tianyun's head against her ample, majestic chest. As the most daring sister and the one who dotes on Yu Tianyun the most, she knew exactly what he liked, so she expressed her gratitude plainly this way. After a while she released him, moved aside, and began absorbing the herb.

Soon the three herbs began to exert their miraculous effects; Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing and Zhu Zhuyun felt their auras rising step by step, as if undergoing a massive transformation.

Yu Tianyun stood nearby protecting them; for Ning Rongrong, a single Ornate Golden Fragrance will surely, as Yu Tianyun remembers, cause her Seven Treasure Glass Tower to evolve into a Nine Treasure Glass Tower, breaking the barrier that limits cultivation to the Soul Saint level.

For Zhu Zhuqing and Zhu Zhuyun, the Nether Daylily and the Shadow Enchanting Orchid can greatly boost their aptitude, compensate for the innate deficiency of seventh‑level soul power, and may even trigger martial soul evolution, fully transforming them into top‑tier martial souls.

The reason martial soul evolution can occur is that these two herbs match their martial soul attributes better than the Water Lily Jade Bone, which in fact is non‑discriminatory, suitable for all women to absorb; it mainly enhances a Soul Master's bodily meridians' flexibility and soul power, and does not involve the martial soul.

Time drifted slowly, second by second.

Seeing the three women absorb the herb and show no sign of waking, Yu Tianyun stopped wasting time, simply sat cross‑legged and began meditative cultivation, while also allocating part of his energy to closely monitor the three women's condition.

From the high hanging bright moon to the rising red sun, the first to awaken from cultivation was Zhu Zhuyun, the oldest and highest‑soul‑power of the three.

She stretched lazily like a languid cat, then slowly opened her eyes as if just waking from sleep.

Yu Tianyun noticed her awakening, hurriedly stood up, and his gaze darted up and down to scrutinize her. For some reason, he felt Zhu Zhuyun's attraction to him growing stronger, and even without any deliberate lewd gestures, his own qi and blood began to stir.

Yu Tianyun quickly allocated part of his energy to suppress the qi and blood; after all the women finish absorbing the herb, he can do anything, but now is not the time. He steadied himself and asked, "Zhuyun, any changes?"

Hearing Yu Tianyun's question, Zhu Zhuyun turned her head, her face beaming with joy, and leapt straight into Yu Tianyun's arms.

"It's broken, I can't control it."

Yu Tianyun thought to himself that this ball‑carrying collision feeling made him instantly lose his breakthrough.

"Unbearable, no need to endure any longer."

Yu Tianyun hoisted a jade leg, pressed it against the wall, and started an interminable battle.

……

After many days of experience, he had mastered distraction control to a superb degree.

He could also remain rational, his movements were very gentle, and the sounds he made were minimal, not disturbing the two women still absorbing the herb.

Zhu Zhuyun could also answer part of Yu Tianyun's question with her mind:

"Tianyun, my soul power level has increased by three and a half tiers; I feel that soon I'll reach level 47, and my martial soul has also changed a bit, perhaps it's the martial soul evolution you mentioned!"

Yu Tianyun was unsurprised; the Shadow Enchanting Orchid mainly grants changes to the martial soul's spiritual aspect, while the soul body's improvement is secondary. A Nether Spirit Cat with a spiritual attribute is undoubtedly a top‑tier martial soul.

As for why Yu Tianyun thought this herb suited Zhu Zhuyun, it was because he recalled that ten thousand and twenty thousand years later, the Xingluo Dai family always exhibits martial soul mutations of the spiritual type.

Since the Dai family will have spiritual‑type martial soul mutations, the Zhu family, long allied by marriage, is likely linked as well. So Yu Tianyun boldly guessed that the Nether Spirit Cat martial soul probably also hides a spiritual attribute; fortunately, his guess was correct!

Yu Tianyun's movements did not cease; he gave a slight nod and said:

"Zhuyun, that herb mainly enhances the spiritual attribute; perhaps you can later add a few spiritual Soul Rings, pursuing a unique path of spiritual attack combined with agile attack. Spiritual attributes are extremely rare, so in future battles you can catch opponents off guard and gain a decisive advantage."

"Hmm." Zhu Zhuyun's eyes flashed white, she hummed casually, and gradually sank into Yu Tianyun's tenderness.

Another hour passed.

At this moment, Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong also woke up in succession.

The two opened their eyes and saw the picturesque scene before them.

After a brief shock, they forgot to share their changes, only wanting to properly reward Yu Tianyun, who had brought them such great benefit.

Thus they enthusiastically joined Zhu Zhuyun's side.
