Chapter 138: Miss Meng Wants to Retreat
"Eat it directly?"
After listening to Lin Qinghan's explanation, Meng Hongchen suppressed her mood and asked Lin Qinghan again with some uncertainty.
After all, according to what Lin Qinghan said, this was a fairy grass. As long as she took it, her talent would be greatly increased. Was she really supposed to just swallow it directly? Wouldn't that be too hasty?
"Don't worry, just swallow it directly. It will also cleanse and strengthen your body at the same time," Lin Qinghan reassured her.
Lin Qinghan signaled Meng Hongchen to rest assured. After all, it was just a little more potent than what Tang Ya had taken at the beginning, but Meng Hongchen's attributes matched well, so there should be no problem absorbing it.
After Lin Qinghan's affirmation, Meng Hongchen was relieved. With a determined look in her eyes, she swallowed the ice crystal and red glue directly.
Suddenly, Meng Hongchen felt her body wrapped in strong energy, followed immediately by an intense heat. She didn't react in time and groaned.
But that was far from the end. Just as Meng Hongchen got used to the fiery feeling, it quickly faded, replaced by a piercing cold.
Still, Meng Hongchen had only taken the essence of the fairy grass. Although the medicinal properties were even stronger than the raw herb, it was much milder because it was non-toxic.
Meng Hongchen continued to strengthen under the cleansing of the ice and fire elements. Not only were the ice and fire attributes of her martial soul enhanced, but her physical fitness and soul power were rapidly increasing.
Two hours later, the ice crystals and red glue had been completely absorbed by Meng Hongchen.
"Level 65. Physical fitness increased by 40%, and the ice and fire attributes have been improved to near-ultimate levels. Not bad," Lin Qinghan commented with satisfaction after sensing Meng Hongchen's state.
Now, Meng Hongchen's ice and fire attributes were no longer inferior to Ling Luochen and Ma Xiaotao. Her talent and combat effectiveness had greatly increased.
Moreover, taking the essence of these two immortal herbs together also gave Meng Hongchen an ice and fire alchemy body. Her cultivation talent had strengthened, and even the damage caused by taking too many drugs in the past had been repaired.
Now, Meng Hongchen's combat power and potential as a pure soul master had surpassed her as a soul guide.
"Is this real? I feel so relaxed… Qinghan, thank you."
Meng Hongchen was very excited after feeling the changes in her body. She immediately hugged Lin Qinghan with gratitude in her tone.
She no longer cared about Lin Qinghan's fickleness. After all, Lin Qinghan had treated her so well, even giving her a priceless treasure directly.
She also understood now why Lin Qinghan had so many excellent girlfriends. With his resources, even a soul master with mediocre talent could become a genius with the help of an immortal herb.
"Meng, don't be so excited."
Lin Qinghan placed his hand on Meng Hongchen's face. Her current appearance surprised him.
Originally, Meng Hongchen's eyes only turned red when she was possessed by her martial soul, but now the fire attribute in her body had become stronger under the effect of the red glue, causing her eyes to be red all the time.
Even her silver hair had become purer due to the strengthening of the ice attribute.
Her skin and facial features had also been optimized under the effect of the ice and fire alchemy body. Now, Meng Hongchen's overall appearance had undoubtedly improved significantly.
She had undergone the most significant transformation in appearance among all the women who had taken the fairy grass or its essence. The others had only cleared the impurities in their bodies and become a little fairer.
Looking at Meng Hongchen's face, which seemed to match all his preferences, Lin Qinghan's breathing grew a little hurried.
But before Lin Qinghan could make any move, Meng Hongchen no longer hesitated and brought her pretty face close.
Lin Qinghan and Meng Hongchen only had breakfast that day. It wasn't until the afternoon of the next day that Meng Hongchen limped out of her dormitory with Lin Qinghan's help.
"Are you sure you don't need my treatment?"
Lin Qinghan looked at Meng Hongchen pretending to be strong and smiled helplessly.
That day and night, after Lin Qinghan treated her five times, Meng Hongchen actually refused further treatment, saying she wanted to experience the feeling of powerlessness.
Although Lin Qinghan didn't understand, he respected her wishes, which led to her current weak state.
"Who knew you were so powerful? No wonder your combat power is so high—your physical fitness is amazing. And I just got strengthened too."
Meng Hongchen was a little frustrated. This was completely different from what she had read in the storybooks. In the books, the man would be weak afterward, and the woman would become more and more energetic.
"Alright, don't force yourself. Didn't you say you wanted to retreat?"
Seeing that Meng Hongchen couldn't walk a few steps, Lin Qinghan stopped staring at her like that, held her hand, and transferred the Thunder of Life to heal her "injury."
Lin Qinghan's physical fitness was already at the level of an Extreme Douluo, while Meng Hongchen's was at most at the level of a Soul Saint. How could she be his match?
"Before you go into seclusion, give this to your grandfather. It will help him."
Once Lin Qinghan saw that Meng Hongchen's condition had improved, he stopped transferring the Thunder of Life and took out a strangely shaped mushroom.
"This is the ninth-grade purple Ganoderma lucidum, a ten-thousand-year-old herb. It's effective even for Titled Douluo. It should help your grandfather break through to Super Douluo."
Lin Qinghan said this as he took out a jade box, placed the ten-thousand-year-old ninth-grade purple Ganoderma lucidum inside, and handed it to Meng Hongchen.
According to his investigation, Jing Hongchen was now at level 93. It seemed like he had enough soul power to break through—he was only limited by his talent.
This Ganoderma lucidum should help him reach level 95. With Jing Hongchen's knowledge, it would only be a matter of time before he became a level-ten soul mentor.
"This… Is this my betrothal gift?"
Meng Hongchen didn't refuse. She took the jade box, her already-red face turning even redder.
"Well, if you think so, then that's what it is."
Lin Qinghan was a little surprised, then thought about the value of the ninth-grade purple Ganoderma lucidum and nodded.
Let her think whatever she wants.
"Then I'll go first. Wait for me outside after I go into seclusion."
After saying goodbye to Lin Qinghan, Meng Hongchen went to find Jing Hongchen first.
Though she was a little reluctant, her martial soul and strength had changed too much. Even her soul skills had altered slightly, and now she couldn't control even the most basic ones.
Moreover, Meng Hongchen could feel that the essence of the fairy grass she had taken had not yet been completely digested.
Now, going into seclusion was undoubtedly the best choice for her growth.
