Her actions made Tang San dumbfounded, and even Oscar and Xiao Wu were stunned, both their faces becoming somewhat strange. Only JoyBoy was calmly observing everything with his gentle smile. Fortunately, what Ning Rongrong said next made them relieved.
"Third brother, thank you, thank you so much. Even though I know the words 'thank you' are far from enough to repay your favor, I really don't know what else to say. If you didn't already have Xiao Wu I would definitely come after you. Third brother, see, my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda already changed to Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, in other words, I no longer need to follow the clan restrictions."
Tang San raised his hand to touch Ning Rongrong's head
"We're comrades, what are you doing talking like that."
While speaking, Tang San slowly opened his eyes.
Instantly, the whole room seemed to shine. Ning Rongrong who was closest to Tang San clearly saw his eyes completely become golden purple, and as that dazzling light entered her eyes she felt her vision go white, leaving her completely unable to see anything.
Tang San's gaze swept from the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda in Ning Rongrong's hand. When that golden purple light in his eyes fell on Xiao Wu his entire body suddenly trembled violently once, his facial expression becoming entirely strange.
Even though Tang San had already moderated the light in his eyes somewhat, when Tang's gaze turned to Xiao Wu she had a kind of feeling as if being seen through. Her pulse suddenly sped up, 'Don't tell me he saw something?'
While Xiao Wu's heart leapt into her throat, the light in Tang San's eyes diminished and returned to normal. With his usual expression he looked down at Ning Rongrong and said
"Rongrong, it's alright. I just lost control of my eyesight."
The white in Ning Rongrong's eyes gradually faded, and she recovered her eyesight.
"Third brother, what was that ability? Why couldn't I see anything?"
Tang San smiled
"This is my Purple Demon Eye. If I'm not mistaken, my Purple Demon Eye has risen another level."
"Little San, congratulations."
Xiao Wu walked up to Tang San's side, speaking with a smile. At the same time she was staring closely at Tang San's eyes, as if she was searching for something in his expression. Unfortunately, no matter how she looked he was still the same as always, apparently with nothing amiss. Rubbing Xiao Wu's head
"If you agreed to eat the Yearning Heartbroken Red, the benefits to you should be the biggest of all of us. It's an immortal treasure among immortal treasures. Whether in life or death, flesh or bone, it has the effect of heaven, earth and nature. And right now you're the only one who can eat it."
Xiao Wu held the Yearning Heartbroken Red to her chest
"I won't, I'll never eat it. I'll always keep it with me."
Zhu Zhuqing was the next to open her eyes. She checked her progress and realized that her cultivation had increased to rank thirty eight. JoyBoy noticed that Xiao Wu suddenly started groping her while hiding it from others with her body and making sure that she doesn't end up kissing Tang San to express her thanks. He wondered if that is something females do to each other normally because he had similar knowledge from anime and mangas from his previous life.
Zhu Zhuqing bowed towards Tang San to express her thanks and asked him whether her foundations will be negatively affected by the sudden increase in her cultivation ranks. Tang San said
"Don't worry, that's no problem. These immortal treasure herbs strengthen foundations. Not only won't your foundation be shaken, it will on the contrary even deepen. I think you will be able to understand it yourself as you cultivate later."
Grandmaster slowly opened his eyes a little later. A spirited light flickering within his eyes, his whole body seeming a lot younger. But right now he was covered in filth and didn't have time to say anything to the others before turning around and leaving the log cottage, first finding some place to bathe and change clothes.
After some time, Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai stood up simultaneously.
Golden red flames suddenly discharged from Ma Hongjun's body, soaring up and directly burning a large hole in the defenseless roof. Not even dust fell down.
Ma Hongjun's body had smoothed out within the flame, and even though he was still chubby, he had clearly lost a considerable amount of fat.
The mohican hairstyle on his head had grown several times longer, even hanging down his back, his little eyes radiated all around, flames roamed across him as he moved, and behind his back could faintly be seen a Phoenix pattern, as if reborn.
The tiger roar naturally came from Dai Mubai, shooting up from where he was lying on the floor, spirit power surged all around him within a one meter range. The hair all over his body had become a sparkling and translucent snowy white, and intense bursting sounds constantly came from all of his four limbs. From within that white light the glimpse of Dai Mubai's evil eyes gave people a kind of hair raising feeling.
Ma Hongjun checked his spirit power and realized that it rise by five ranks and reached the thirty sixth rank. Ning Rongrong giggled
"Then you're still not equal to us. Me and Zhuqing grew six and seven ranks respectively."
Fatty stared blankly a moment
"No way. So awesome? Third brother, you can't be partial!"
Tang San helplessly said
"What partial, go wash off first. The medical effect of that Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower you ate was even more potent than theirs. Haven't you noticed how your body has changed? If I'm not wrong, then hereafter you won't have to suffer the complications of that evil fire. Even if I don't know whether your spirit can be called a pure Phoenix right now, it still shouldn't be far off."
At this Fatty discovered that he was filthy, unbearable sticky, and hurriedly ran out to wash.
Dai Mubai stood there quietly. After the tiger roar ended he stood in the same spot, eyes closed, the fur gradually disappearing, his swollen body gradually restoring to normal.
Zhu Zhuqing went near him to check whether he was alright but was surprised when he suddenly opened his eyes and hugged her.
Dai Mubai was inwardly exceptionally pleased. Being able to embrace this logical and cold Zhu Zhuqing made him even happier than having broken through the fortieth rank just now.
However, Dai Mubai couldn't stay cheerful for too long. The moment he relaxed his guard Zhu Zhuqing suddenly slipped out of his embrace and with a flicker had already moved to the side, staring resolutely at him
"You should use flowery speech like that on those lovers of yours. Don't look at me with that expression."
Dai Mubai smiled bitterly as he looked at her,
"Zhuqing, you can't be wasting effort on something trivial like that. Haven't you seen how pure I've been recently? Pure like Tang San."
Zhu Zhuqing snorted
"When you can really be as clear as ice and clean as jade, untainted by a speck of dust as third brother, we'll talk again."
Tang San resisted a smile and hastily changed the topic
"Mubai, did you break through?"
Dai Mubai looked somewhat helplessly at Tang San, saying
"I've already broken through the bottleneck, and moreover my spirit power feels especially abundant. Perhaps after I've obtained a spirit ring I will still be able to advance a bit. Little San, when you have time, teach me how to be clear as ice and clean as jade, and untainted by a speck of dust..."
Perhaps it was because of the time he'd spent with the old freak Dugu Bo, but Tang San wasn't as guileless as before. With a slight smile he said
"I'm afraid you might not have the chance. Unless you're still a virgin, how could you be described as clear as ice and clean as jade?"
Xiao Wu giggled, saying
"Yeah, only my big brother can be described like that. Clear as ice and clean as jade young master Tang San. Young master Dai, you don't have the chance."
The words 'young master Dai' were precisely what the hotel manager had addressed Dai Mubai as the first time she and Tang San had met Dai Mubai with the twin sisters.
JoyBoy who was watching everything with a smiling face from the side didn't mind the fact that both Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu were indirectly saying that he wasn't as pure as Tang San. Still he decided to tease them. With an innocent smiling face, he asked
"Fifth sister Wu, Seventh sister Zhuqing, I don't understand what you are talking about. Did first brother Mubai do something wrong ? Also, what's a virgin ?"
Hearing his question everyone was speechless. Zhu Zhuqing blushed and lowered her face while Xiao Wu directly hid behind Tang San with a red face. They had no problem teasing Dai Mubai but facing JoyBoy's kind and innocent smile, they didn't dare to say anything bad towards their little brother. Tang San and Dai Mubai also had an awkward expression while Ning Rongrong and Oscar started giggling.
Seeing them giggle, JoyBoy asked them for answers which made them quite and others smile. No one even thought for a moment that he was just teasing them because they believed that he genuinely didn't know about these things since they knew that he spent most of his time on cultivation and any free time with them. They had never seen him looking towards any female in a wrong way and knew how he treated his female opponents in the Spirit arena.
After some time, Grandmaster returned together with Ma Hongjun, and on the surface he didn't seem any different than before. It was only when looking carefully one would discover that he seemed a few years younger, his skin more glossy, the atmosphere around him seeming even more reserved as he held Luo San Pao who seemed to have grown a size to his chest.
"Grandmaster. How do you feel?"
When Tang San saw Grandmaster returned he hastily greeted him and asked.
