Chapter 149.
Ning Rongrong tilted her head, staring at Wang Feng in sudden shock. "Why does your skin look even better than mine?" she exclaimed. Her skin had always been exceptional among the girls, surpassing even Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing in terms of its exquisiteness.
At this moment, Wang Feng's skin seemed even more refined than hers. A peculiar gleam flickered in the Grandmaster's eyes, he had noticed this change when he first saw Wang Feng but hadn't commented on it. It appeared that both Xiao San and Xiao Feng had undergone significant transformations in the past six months.
Wang Feng merely smiled, noting that Red Lotus Karmic Fire's tempering process wasn't yet complete. Once it was, his body would undergo even more profound changes. The current improvement was relatively minor.
"Are you alright?" Zhu Zhuqing broke her silence, approaching Wang Feng with a trace of concern in her clear and cold voice.
Wang Feng looked at her as their eyes met with each other, conveying a sense of care for each other.
"I'm well, you don't need to be concerned." he replied with a soft smile.
"For the past six months, Xiao San and I have been thinking about you. You seem to have become even hot...cough…cough.."
Zhu Zhuqing nodded slightly, her eyes showing a hint of moisture. In more than half a year, she hadn't changed much. Her aura had become more condensed, her face slightly thinner, yet she still remained glamorous and compelling.
"Wang Feng, I heard Xiao Wu say that you and third brother brought us some gifts. What are they?"
"They should be valuable items, right?" Oscar chimed in with a smile. "Our Monster Captain has changed so much. It seems that I, as the face of Shrek Academy, am about to do the same and become virtuous."
The group fell into a momentary silence. "Oscar, it seems you haven't lost your touch. Your skills are quite like mine after all." Wang Feng remarked.
Wang Feng chuckled a few times.
"When Mubai arrives, I will show you all together." Tang San smiled. "I won't let you down. Most of the six herbs were chosen by us, but Brother Feng helped to ripen them."
"Is it an herb?" the Grandmaster frowned. "Little San, the foundation of a soul master still depends on self-cultivation. After all, external objects are still external objects."
"Teacher, don't worry. These herbs are different than what are you thinking." Tang San reassured with a smile. "Brother Feng and I selected them based on each person's characteristics, and Brother Feng personally cultivated them. They have a significant effect on everyone."
Grandmaster nodded slightly, trusting Tang San's judgment as his disciple.
Shortly after, Dai Mubai also joined them. After half a year, Dai Mubai's aura had become even more robust.
"You two finally came back. If you didn't, certain girls in the academy would be unsettled all day. We were genuinely concerned they might die of desperation." Dai Mubai teased Wang Feng and Tang San.
Xiao Wu blushed and shot a glare at Dai Mubai.
"Huh." Ning Rongrong blushed and turned her head.
After a bit of playful banter, the Shrek Seven Devils finally gathered. Grandmaster led the group to a quiet area near Liu Erlong's residence, offering a peaceful environment suitable for herb absorption.
Observing this, Wang Feng exchanged a glance with Tang San. To maintain their freshness, the six herbs were stored in the Wishful Bag.
Tang San began by unveiling a large chrysanthemum, with purple-gold petals, giving it a cute appearance with no discernible fragrance. The central stamen stood erect, resembling a cluster of chickens, emitting a faint golden light.
"This is called the Velvet Chrysanthemum. Consuming it can enhance blood circulation through the eight meridians, increasing the cultivation speed by atleast two tmes, it also helps in cultivating a very strong body." Tang San explained. "However, its function might be more specialized. The purple-gold color, with a slight variation, will undoubtedly make it more potent."
"Is it really that powerful?" Dai Mubai was taken aback.
"It might be a bit of an exaggeration," Tang San admitted with a smile. "But it's genuinely very suitable for you. This unique Velvet Chrysanthemum is a natural immortal herb, and your martial soul demands a tough and domineering nature. It's perfect for you. It can also help you break through the level 40 bottleneck, and there may be additional benefits in the future."
Tang San continued, "Based on my intuition, the purple-gold hue of this Velvet Chrysanthemum carries a sense of majesty. It might bring a significant change to your aura and potentially alter your martial soul."
Tang San pondered the potential effects of the herb.
These six medicinal plants were all cultivated by Wang Feng himself and showed slight variations from those recorded in the [Mysterious Heaven Treasured Record]. Tang San couldn't fully assess them due to these variations, but he suspected they might be more potent than before.
"So incredible?" Dai Mubai was astonished.
"You'll have to try it to see the effects," Wang Feng replied.
The herbs ripened by the Golden Lotus seemed to have undergone some mutations beyond Tang San's expectations. The specific outcomes would only be known after consumption, but they were assuredly not harmful.
Dai Mubai accepted the Velvet Chrysanthemum, expressing gratitude with a glance at Tang San. "Tang San, I won't say thank you. But I'll remember it in my heart."
Tang San shook his head, smiling. "It's not my credit. I identified these herbs, but Brother Feng cultivated them. I merely played the role of bringing them to you."
Wang Feng silently thought that if he hadn't consumed the six herbs, he wouldn't have gone through such effort to help ripen them over the past six months.
Hearing this revelation, everyone was stunned.
"These herbs were cultivated by Xiaofeng himself?" Grandmaster exclaimed. "Aren't these herbs very extraordinary?"
Tang San affirmed, "They can be considered priceless treasures in the world. The few herbs I brought were all cultivated by Brother Feng himself over the past six months. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been possible."
Everyone was taken aback. Wang Feng was capable of cultivating such remarkable herbs?
Dai Mubai looked at Wang Feng deeply. "I'll remember this kindness."
Wang Feng waved his hand and said, "It's the credit of both of us. I couldn't have cultivated these herbs without Xiaosan. Also you're someone I consider as a part of my family, you don't need to be indebted or anything."
Tang San gave a wry smile, thinking that Wang Feng was being too polite. He had simply pointed out herbs, where was the credit in that?
However, it wasn't just politeness on Wang Feng's part. He didn't want to feel guilty about benefiting a few people. Winning others' opportunities didn't align with Wang Feng's principles, so he had worked hard for six months to ripen these immortal herbs.
Dai Mubai was also touched by the words of Wang Feng and the effort of Tang San and him. He silently remembered these moments in his heart, hoping he would be able to pay back this favor done to him.
"Wang Feng, you're truly incredible! You can even cultivate this kind of extraordinary herb?" Oscar's eyes gleamed. "I'm really curious now!"
Ning Rongrong, blushing, ran to Wang Feng and whispered, "Wang Feng, I want something special too!"
"Relax, each of you is special." Wang Feng assured.
"No, I want something exceptionally unique!"
"All are unique, without duplicates."
"Oh! Do you know what I mean? I want something different!"
"..." Wang Feng. 'She's down bad for me!'
Wang Feng observed Ning Rongrong, who was visibly frustrated, and shook his head inwardly.
In the meantime, Tang San retrieved a jade box and upon opening it, a fresh fragrance filled the air, prompting everyone to look at it.
"It smells amazing!" Oscar exclaimed, his eyes fixed on the enchanting immortal herb in the jade box.
It was a Nine-Petal Orchid, emitting milky white light from its petals, imparting a sense of holiness that captivated the onlookers. A faint golden stream of light within the milky white light added to its extraordinary allure and beauty.
"This is called the Eight-Petal Orchid," Tang San explained.
"But aren't there nine petals?" Ning Rongrong asked curiously.
"Originally, it was supposed to have only eight petals." Tang San explained with a smile.
"But when Feng'ge cultivated this, it bloomed nine petals. This plant can only be stored and transported in jade containers. It possesses purifying properties, helping in eliminating excess impurities from the body. For auxiliary system soul masters, it also helps in purifying their soul power and enhancing their soul ability slightly. It is particularly suitable for a soul master like Oscar who is a food system auxiliary soul master."
"This herb, might be highly beneficial for you in long term. At least until you reach level 80, it will provide excellent support!"
As Tang San spoke, Wang Feng on the side couldn't help but think with a smile.
These immortal herbs couldn't alter any form of Chaos Green Lotus. However, his fully Golden Lotus could alter the quality of these immortal herbs. From this perspective, the hierarchy was clear at a glance.
"Speaking of which, Brother Feng's body is truly extraordinary. These eight-petal fairy orchids can only be placed in jade containers, but in Brother Feng's hands, they don't wither. It's simply magical," Tang San marveled.
His Mysterious Jade Hand couldn't achieve such a feat. Brother Feng's body was truly like a treasure!
After handing the eight-petal orchid to Oscar, he happily walked aside, swallowed it directly and quickly began absorption and cultivation.
"Third brother, captain, what about me? What have you for a genius like me?" Ma Hongjun approached.
