Chapter 150.

"Don't worry, I've got something for you too." Tang San said, taking out the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower.

"Your evil fire is caused by the high level of impurity of the phoenix flame. So, the immortal herb I'm giving you is a potent tonic with special fire attributes. It's called Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower, capable of purifying impurities in your phoenix flame. And yes, it can also enhance the power of your flame."

Tang San explained the properties of the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower to Ma Hongjun. Initially surprised, Ma Hongjun quickly took it and looked at it like the golum looked at the ring muttering something along like 'my precious!'.

"In fact, this Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower is quite potent. If you aim to boost the strength of your flame later on, you can also find me." Wang Feng added with a smile.

At Ma Hongjun's current level, forcibly using the Red Lotus Karmic Fire and merging it with the Phoenix Evil fire that had burned him could eliminate impurities and even elevate his phoenix flame potency to several levels above. However, controlling it might pose a challenge for Ma Hongjun, making it potentially dangerous.

Swallowing the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower would enable Ma Hongjun to eliminate the impurities from the evil fire and gradually increase its level. After stabilizing control, evolution would be the natural progression.

Ma Hongjun nodded, expressing gratitude to Wang Feng, and then examined the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower with great fervor.

"Hey, brother, isn't this called a Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower? How come it doesn't resemble something like that?" Ma Hongjun asked.

"The top of the blade of grass is not a Cockscomb, but rather individual small flowers." Tang San explained. "Originally called Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower, but after Feng'ge cultivated it, the Cockscomb on the top of the herb changed, resembling a Peacock crest. It's more appropriate to call it Peacock Phoenix Sunflower now. The effect should be even better than original."

This herb had changed under Wang Feng's ripening, mutating into a more potent form. Ma Hongjun quickly finished consuming it and followed Tang San's advice, using soul power to absorb the medicinal power.

Ning Rongrong looked at Wang Feng excitedly.

"Rongrong, you really should thank Brother Feng for this herb," Tang San said. "Originally, it was a Qiluo Tulip picked for you, but during experimentation, Feng'ge chose another, more suitable one for you, and carefully cultivated it."

Ning Rongrong's eyes sparkled at this revelation.

Tang San then presented another dazzling herb, the Weaving Clouds Stars, about the size of two palms. It was white gold all over, with small shiny petals resembling a cloud woven from stars. Ning Rongrong was captivated by its surreal beauty.

"There are a total of thirty-two small petals, each composed of eighteen stamens, gathered together like flowing clouds in the sky, separated like stars, and gathered like cirrus clouds." Tang San explained. "Feng'ge found it among countless herbs and meticulously cultivated it. It grows by absorbing star's power at night, and its pure energy is absorbed during the day. Feng'ge took care of it almost every night."

"This herb is a perfect match for your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. After you absorb it, there will be significant changes in your martial soul. The soul power will be accompanied by the power of the stars, greatly enhancing your auxiliary abilities. You'll feel the other effects yourself."

Wang Feng was also amazed as Tang San explained the rarity and unique growth pattern of the Weaving Clouds Stars. It was a super high-grade immortal herb and one of the most challenging to cultivate, as it only grew at night. The plant required countless silent nights to bloom during the day, creating a cloud-like beauty and stars in the sky, making it extremely mysterious.

When Wang Feng first discovered it, he was immediately attracted and inquired about its role and growth period. After Tang San explained, Wang Feng decided to use it to replace the initially prepared Qiluo Tulip. Despite its immaturity at the time, Wang Feng believed in its potential.

Now, after half a year, the Weaving Clouds Stars had truly matured under Wang Feng's care.

Ning Rongrong, excited and grateful, clutched Wang Feng's arm with both hands and expressed her thanks, stating that this she liked this herb very much.

Wang Feng was left speechless in response to Ning Rongrong's expressions of gratitude.

Xiao San is really exaggerating. Wang Feng thought to himself. There was no difference at all, but the Weaving Clouds Stars did indeed have an effective growth period at night. Wang Feng took care of it during the night to prevent changes during the day, putting in more effort to nurture it.

Ning Rongrong happily retracted her hand and playfully scratched Wang Feng's palm with her small hand before moving to the side to absorb the herb.

Zhu Zhuqing walked quietly in front of Wang Feng, hesitating to ask. Her lips opened slightly as if she wanted to say something but held back. Wang Feng understood her silent inquiry.

Tang San glanced at Wang Feng and tapped the Hundred Treasure Bag lightly. He then took out an unusual flower, similar to a peony, snow-white with no visible rhizomes, attached to a boulder as if growing on it. The center of the petals had a beautiful blood-red hue.

"This is called Acacia Broken Red Heart," Tang San said in a low voice, looking at the herb. "It wasn't cultivated by Brother Feng as it was originally meant for Xiao Wu. But I plan to let you all try it. This herb is very magical and it comes with a beautiful story."

Tang San proceeded to share the story of Acacia Broken Red Heart, and Wang Feng listened attentively. Having heard the story before, he remained silent, letting Tang San narrate.

It's actually a very simple story.

It's a tale of unfulfilled love.

After hearing the story, all of them were stunned and Wang Feng also felt a twinge of emotion. 

"This herb is extraordinary, as it chooses its owner," Tang San explained. "Zhuqing, you and Grandmaster can try it. When picking this flower, you must think of your someone you love sincerely and put a drop on the petals. There can be no half-heartedness, otherwise, it's not going to pick you. After the flower is taken off, it will stay with the owner forever without withering."

"Zhuqing, I know that you and Mubai have a special connection. The two of you have had a relationship since childhood." Tang San said.

Suddenly, Zhu Zhuqing shook her head denying it but still interrupted, "third brother, let me try."

Tang San was taken aback but nodded in agreement. This Acacia Broken Red Heart was initially suggested by Wang Feng for Xiao Wu, but Tang San felt a bit awkward about it. Considering Xiao Wu's situation, he decided to give it to others first. Wang Feng had planned well and had another herb specifically for Zhu Zhuqing.

"Little San, you are really..." Wang Feng sighed, covering his forehead. He had anticipated this outcome, and it was likely that this herb was only effective for Xiao Wu. Tang San didn't believe it and might find it a bit unsettling.

Zhu Zhuqing gazed at the peony with a hint of uncertainty. The story from earlier lingered in her mind—the young man, the Flower Fairy, the immortal.

Almost instinctively, Zhu Zhuqing glanced at Wang Feng. As the blood surged within her, she pricked her finger and as a drop of blood fell into the petal.

Wang Feng's heart skipped a beat. Why did she look at him? She should have seen Dai Mubai. At that moment of dropping blood, Zhu Zhuqing was likely thinking about many things.

At first, they observed quietly, secretly curious about the outcome. 

She remembered her growth while fighting together, the day they stood united in front of everyone in Soul Fighting Arena, his stalwart back as if ready to protect her from the whole world if need be and the sweat falling during battle training—all these moments keep coming in he mind. 

The figure of him standing against Heaven Dou Imperial Academy as her heart bled seeing him injured and her praying quietly when he disappeared all of a sudden. However, all these emotions could only be hidden in her hearts.

"Hey, it's about to fall." Tang San remarked, looking at the seemingly unstable Acacia Broken Red Heart.

The petals trembled violently, faltering as if they might fall at any moment. Everyone stared with wide eyes.

"Impossible. In the original work, Zhu Zhuqing didn't get this Acacia Broken Red Heart immortal herb." Wang Feng said in shock.

He distinctly remembered that this herb was only effective for Xiao Wu's love for Tang San. The other attempts by Zhu Zhuqing and Grandmaster were just an attempt.

Wang Feng's heart raced, as if thinking of something, but it felt impossible.

"She just glanced at me... Impossible... I don't seem to have much contact with her. She is silent by nature and doesn't like to talk much. Even if we fight together, she doesn't say more than a few words." Wang Feng shook his head repeatedly, denying the possibility of her loving him.
