Chapter 179 Acacia Red, Tang San was dumbfounded_1

"If only I could have such a treasure. And Xu Ran probably has a lot of that kind of severely toxic poison in his possession," Tang San swallowed his saliva, saying enviously.

The Icefire Polarized Eyes area is a nurturing ground for the growth of plants. Not only can it cultivate herbs that cleanse the marrow and refine the essence, but it can also nurture extremely toxic poisons, which also serve as materials for making his hidden weapons.

"Damn it, why do all the good things have to be in Xu Ran's hands?" Tang San was incredibly jealous. If he could get his hands on the poison from Xu Ran, he could create those extremely powerful hidden weapons, even the kind that could eliminate Soul Sages and stronger experts.

His current strength might be inadequate, but that didn't affect his ability to create powerful hidden weapons.

The hidden weapons of the Tang Sect are incredibly ingenious, featuring many unpredictable and lethal contraptions.

"Damn it, I've no idea how many good things Xu Ran has. If I tried to trade something else for those deadly poisons he has, I wonder if he would give them to me. That would be great," Tang San muttered to himself, unable to stop thinking about it. After all, Xu Ran didn't need those poisons.

By this time, Xu Ran and Ning Rongrong had already walked far away.

Ning Rongrong was somewhat impatient to try, feeling that the herb Xu Ran gave her was no ordinary plant.

However, she was also conflicted, as Xu Ran had just mentioned that this treasure could boost her Soul Power by six or seven levels, but she had yet to break through to be a Soul Elder. Would absorbing this treasure now not waste all that energy?

"Xu Ran..." Ning Rongrong pouted, her heart in turmoil.

After all, the millennia-old problem of the Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda was about to be solved by her, how could her heart be calm?

But then, a five or six-level increase in Soul Power was also significant.

"Your "Cultivation Level" is about to break through to Soul Elder. I will help you break through to level 30. After you go back to your family to obtain a Soul Ring, you should consume this Immortal Herb. The name of this herb is the Damask Tulip, and it's the only one of its kind in the world."

"What's most important is, a person can only consume one Immortal Herb in their lifetime, otherwise eating too many will affect the foundation," Xu Ran said with a smile. After Ning Rongrong goes back and breaks through to Soul Elder, then consumes the Damask Tulip, her "Cultivation Level" will probably be around level 36 or 37.

Before Ning Rongrong came to Shrek Academy, she was only a level 26 Grand Soul Master, and now, in just over a month, her "Cultivation Level" had soared by ten levels. If Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, and Bone Douluo knew about this, who knows how shocked they would be.

However, it was normal for Ning Rongrong to cultivate so quickly. Breaking through three or four levels of Soul Power after entering the State of Enlightenment twice was to be expected. After all, many people can't reach the State of Enlightenment even once in their lifetimes.

Two enlightenments and one Immortal Herb, breaking through ten levels of Soul Power, was not a small feat.

"Oh. Okay, I've also been feeling that my bottleneck at level 30 is about to loosen," she said.

"At least I don't want to leave so soon. You've just come back," Ning Rongrong said, pouting, expressing her reluctance. She didn't want to be separated from Xu Ran.

"When two hearts are loyal through time, what's the need for constant togetherness?"

"After all, you're already my treasure. We will have a long time together in the future," Xu Ran said, taking Ning Rongrong's hand. The only thing remaining between him and Ning Rongrong was one final step.

But Xu Ran didn't want to take that step too soon. Although with their current relationship, Ning Rongrong wouldn't refuse him if he wanted her.

Yet he didn't want to rush it.

After Ning Rongrong consumes the Damask Tulip, her appearance and temperament will undergo a transformation, and she will become even more delicate and charming. That would be the best moment.

At the most beautiful time for Ning Rongrong, having her become his woman was what he most desired.

"Oh," Ning Rongrong responded softly, entranced by Xu Ran's poetic charm. Was this really Xu Ran? Just a casual remark, yet so full of rhyme and rhythm.

"Wait for a while, and then call Xiaowu and Zhu Qing over. I've prepared Immortal Herbs for them as well," Xu Ran said with a smile, thinking that if Tang San saw what would happen later, he would surely explode.

Tang San's recent thoughts had not escaped his notice. Wanting his poisonous plants? Just another child lost in dreams, unable to wake up.

What could Tang San possibly have that he would desire?

He considered the Tang Sect's Secret Skills mediocre at best. The hidden weapons were nice, but Tang San would definitely not share the manufacturing methods, and he couldn't be bothered to learn those trifles.

...

In Xu Ran's dormitory,

Xiaowu and Zhu Zhuqing had been summoned by Ning Rongrong.

They had naturally heard Ning Rongrong recount Xu Ran's miraculous experiences.

Thus, they couldn't help but wonder, what kind of Immortal Herbs would Xu Ran give them?

Zhu Zhuqing had bathed and changed into a black knee-length dress, paired with black stockings that outlined her voluptuous young figure. They wouldn't dress up too nicely when Xu Ran was away, but now that he had returned, they naturally wanted to look their best for him.

At that moment, Zhu Zhuqing's black eyes blinked as she looked at Xu Ran.

And Xu Ran took out Zhu Qing's Immortal Herb from the storage soul tool.

An immaculate white herb appeared, resembling a pristine Qinglian Bai Ou, untainted by any dust. The moment this Immortal Herb emerged in the room, a rich medicinal fragrance filled the space.

The formidable medicinal power astonished all the girls present.

"This Immortal Herb is called Narcissus Jade Bone. It's highly nourishing. After consumption, it moistens the sinews and strengthens the bones, circulates energy through the meridians, and is also beneficial for a girl's skin," Xu Ran said as he handed the herb to Zhu Qing with a smile. This herb could make Zhu Qing even more perfect.

"Mhm," Zhu Qing said, holding the Immortal Herb without saying much. Xu Ran was her fiancé; thanks were not necessary.

Tang San, at that moment, was glued to the wall of Xu Ran's dormitory, experiencing a whirlwind of emotions. The Narcissus Jade Bone was an Immortal Herb not inferior to the Damask Tulip.

"I wonder what kind of Immortal Herb Xu Ran will give to Xiaowu. But if Xu Ran does give Xiaowu an Immortal Herb, that's a good thing. As long as Xiaowu benefits, that's what matters. Anyway, Xiaowu will come back to me eventually."

However, what Tang San didn't know was that Xu Ran was currently pulling out an Acacia Red, and that was the Immortal Herb prepared for Xiaowu.

It appeared as a common white flower, as large as the palm of a hand, resembling a peony. Yet the leaves were a startling red, bright as blood—a sight both beautiful and unnerving.

"This Immortal Herb is called Acacia Red," Xu Ran said, the corners of his mouth turning up.

And Xu Ran's words left Tang San dumbfounded,

Upon hearing the name of that Immortal Herb, Tang San stood frozen in place, unable to move.
