"Brother Feng, this place is teeming with treasures... What kind are you looking for?" Tang San inquired.
Seeing Tang San awaken, Wang Feng grinned, "You see, I don't really need it that much."
Surprised by this response, Tang San led Wang Feng around for another stroll.
"Brother Feng, why don't you want it... Many of the herbs here would greatly benefit us."
"Look at this, Immortal Golden Petal Tulip... it can absorb the essence of the heavens and the earth, sun and the moon. Your Golden Lotus has a supporting ability, and it should be of great help." Tang San pointed to a fairy grass with vine-like rhizomes and leaves, crowned by a golden tulip emitting a noble and rich aura.
Upon hearing this, Wang Feng smiled. While junior soul masters often find such immortals grass beneficial, his Golden Lotus originated from the Chaos Green Lotus, later evolving into a Twelfth-Grade Merit Golden Lotus.
"Is that so?" Wang Feng grinned, plucked the Qiluo Tulip, and consumed it in one bite.
"..." Tang San was taken aback.
Later, Wang Feng channeled the Golden Lotus energy to display it for Tang San.
The immense medicinal power of the Immortal Golden Petal Tulip surged into the Golden Lotus almost instantly. However, there was no change except for making it slightly brighter.
"..." Tang San looked puzzled. It should be impossible, the Tulip's effect should have a miraculous effect on this auxiliary plant type martial soul! It might even induce evolution or a second awakening!
"If I gave this thing to Rongrong, her Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda should have been able to evolve," Wang Feng shook his head. He recalled that in the original story, Rongrong took the Tulip, leading to the evolution of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.
However, Wang Feng's Golden Lotus was too advanced and high in the hierarchy, even though it was just in the martial soul form, it far surpassed the level of these immortal herbs. The effect after taking them was minimal. All the medicinal power could only be stored and slowly absorbed. Evolving the Golden Lotus? Not a very likely outcome even if he devoured all the herbs here.
Tang San felt a bit unwilling to give up. "It's impossible... how come nothing has changed."
"Try again! Feng'ge, look, this is an Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid. This thing won't wither for thousands of years. It has extremely mild medicinal properties, more mellow than others. It also has a strong ability to remove impurities. It can speed up our soul masters' cultivation speed. Brother Feng, your soul power is special, and it's definitely difficult to increase your cultivation speed."
Tang San pointed to a medicinal herb that looked like an orchid, soaked in snow, with a touch of the orchid's noble and dusty fragrance.
Wang Feng chuckled. "Xiao San, let me show you how fast I can cultivate!"
His entire body's soul power surged, and his spirit expanded outward, with the Meteoric Tears in his heart emitting a radiant light. Meteoric Tears could not be matched by any other method in accelerating cultivation, as used by Wang Feng.
Wang Feng's training methods, whether it was practicing with weights, combat, meditation, or other techniques, might be comparable to Meteoric Tears when used. But the compression of soul power achieved by Meteoric Tears was something he couldn't achieve without it.
In the next moment, Tang San felt an intense energy coming from all directions, converging towards Wang Feng. It was as if he had become a devouring vortex, absorbing all the energy between heaven and earth.
Witnessing this, Tang San was astonished, sensing that Wang Feng was like a whirlpool of heaven and earth, absorbing the energy at an incredible speed.
"This kind of cultivation speed..." Tang San was deeply shocked. Even the previous martial arts masters, various powerful internal cultivation techniques, and renowned methods known for their cultivation speed in his previous life might not compare to Wang Feng's current cultivation speed.
"This cultivation speed is several times faster than ours... But with this kind of speed, how can his soul power only be at the 36th level?" Tang San murmured in confusion.
Even those martial arts prodigies with special natural physiques in his previous life could not achieve this visible-to-the-naked-eye cultivation speed. The genius of this genius, Tang San thought, might not even compare to Brother Feng.
Considering Feng'ge's unique physique, his soul power should also naturally be extraordinary.
After a short while, Wang Feng opened his eyes, removed the Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid, and consumed it in one bite.
"It's useless..." Wang Feng shrugged. "This Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid is most suitable for Oscar. He is a food system soul master, and his cultivation speed is the slowest."
Tang San nodded, acknowledging that this herb was indeed more suitable for someone like Oscar than for Wang Feng.
"No, let's try again!" Tang San persisted. He couldn't believe that this place, filled with so many treasures, wouldn't have something useful for Brother Feng.
After a while, Tang San led Wang Feng to another herb with red-gold veins and grass leaves shaped like a cockscomb.
"This thing is called Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower. It can significantly enhance the flame effect of your second soul ability and soul power. By condensing your soul power to control this thing, you should be able to enhance your second ability!" Tang San explained, pointing to the herb.
Wang Feng laughed again, and the Red Lotus bloomed in his hand, surrounded by an icy aura, creating an incredibly beautiful scene. His soul power surged like a torrential river, enveloping the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower.
Shortly after, the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower rapidly withered, and its majestic and hot medicinal power poured into the red lotus. However, despite the influx of energy, the Red Lotus remained as before, and its petals even seemed to glow more intensely. Surprisingly, the flame did not change.
"It seems there's no change at all... Moreover, this herb should have a marrow-washing effect on the body. Feng'ge, don't you feel anything?" Tang San asked, looking at the Red Lotus with wide eyes.
"I feel like my body has warmed up a bit, but other than that, nothing has changed substantially," Wang Feng replied, shaking his head. He was well aware of how many times his physical fitness had been strengthened through the effects of Meteoric Tears. Besides, the Red Lotus's Karmic Fire itself was a formidable force, and evolving it with this herb was unlikely.
The Red Lotus's Karmic Fire, held an extraordinary status. Even though the red lotus itself was merely a martial soul form, evolving it with a herb like the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower seemed improbable.
Tang San was left in disbelief.
"This thing shoulda had a miraculous effect on Ma Hongjun," Wang Feng said. "For me, the effect is not as significant. It's really low, and the body just feels a little more comfortable. The medicinal power is absorbed by the Red Lotus, making it more durable. It can only be said to increase soul power through absorbing the medicinal power."
Tang San was left in disbelief. How could these rare treasures, recorded in the [Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record], be so ineffective for Wang Feng? Wang Feng smiled, acknowledging that these precious treasures were indeed valuable in the world, but his own abilities surpassed the treasures of the world.
They continued to try several other kinds of herbs, but Wang Feng didn't experience much change in his martial soul or physical fitness. According to his estimation, even if he absorbed all these medicinal powers, reaching level fifty would still be uncertain.
"But... after eating so many herbs, maybe I can use the Red Lotus Karmic Fire to refine my body later. Perhaps it will be a little useful," Wang Feng thought to himself.
He had decided to use the Karmic Fire of the Red Lotus to refine his own body, despite the inherent dangers. The Red Lotus Karmic Fire, had the power to burn everything. Entangled in the cause and effect of the mortal world, Wang Feng considered using the Karmic Fire to refine his body, even though it posed a significant risk.
"But if, on the contrary, I can withstand the burning of this Red Lotus Karmic Fire and wash away all the evil and karma, then I will be able to obtain the true pure body, free from karma." Wang Feng thought. He was unsure of the specific effects of this process, it was a mysterious venture that required experimentation. Nevertheless, he anticipated a significant improvement in both his physical fitness and soul.
After trying six kinds of herbs consecutively, Tang San expressed his frustration. "Are you planning to try the herbs for those six people too?" he asked.
Wang Feng hiccuped, feeling invigorated and filled. If an ordinary soul master were to consume the power of these herbs, they would likely explode and die immediately. Despite being precious treasures, it would be impossible for someone to consume such quantities at once. However, Wang Feng's unique martial soul form allowed him to absorb the medicinal power very easily, and his exceptional physical fitness made it feasible.
Tang San sighed in bewilderment. "Brother Feng, you ate so many rare herbs..."
Wang Feng reassured him with a smile, "Don't worry, they'll all grow back in half a year." His golden lotus possessed a ripening effect, and the roots of these herbs remained intact. Although they might not fully grow back within the next ten years, with complete ripening, it might be possible for them to regrow within half a year with the help of his Golden Lotus.
"How could it be possible in half a year... These immortal herbs... In the next few years, it will not even be possible to germinate," Tang San said with a bitter smile.
Wang Feng remained silent and smiled. He likely planned to stay in this place for a while, cultivating until he reached at least level 40. The intention was to use the Red Lotus Karmic Fire to temper his body and soul before departing.
Tang San noticed another herb, Acacia Broken Red Heart.
"Brother Feng, perhaps this herb... Forget it, Brother Feng, you probably don't have anyone you like very much," Tang San commented, shaking his head.
Aware of the herb's effects, he deemed it unlikely.
"Little San, you go and absorb those two herbs... I have my ideas," Wang Feng suggested with a smile. The two plants he referred to were the Octagonal Black Ice Grass and the Burning Apricot.
"I will protect you," Wang Feng added casually.
Despite Tang San's dejected sigh, he couldn't help but wonder why the immortal herbs recorded in [Mysterious Treasure Heaven Record] didn't have much effect on Brother Feng. He contemplated whether they were fake. However, after Tang San used a special technique to pluck and swallow these two supreme treasures, he realized they couldn't be fake at all.
With the help of the Octagonal Black Ice Grass and Burning Apricot, Tang San jumped into the Ice and Fire/Yin and Yang Lake. He understood that without these two medicinal powers, he wouldn't have dared to make the leap. The Octagonal Black Ice Grass contained extremely chilling properties, while the Burning Apricot was a highly poisonous herb with top-level fire poison.
Wang Feng shook his head secretly. "[Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record] should only be regarded as a mortal encyclopedia. Although the recorded things are titled with the word immortal, they are not really immortal elixirs." He recognized that these medicinal materials, while formidable, were not genuine immortal elixirs, only capable of filling congenital defects for various soul masters.
