Seeing this, the others didn't hesitate either. They immediately sat down on the ground and absorbed the Immortal Herbs according to Tang San's instructions.
Dai Mubai, having experience absorbing Immortal Herbs in his previous life, skillfully refined the entire Qi Rong Tong Tian Ju with ease.
As a burst of heat surged from his dantian, Dai Mubai suddenly let out a scream, his entire body covered in bloodshot veins.
The violent power of the Immortal Herb, unable to be absorbed due to being affected by divine power, crashed wildly within Dai Mubai's body.
"Ah ah ah!"
Tormented by the heat, Dai Mubai directly activated his Martial Soul, tearing his clothes and causing the blood vessels on his body to bulge.
Just as the others were about to stop, they suddenly felt a similar surge of heat within their own bodies.
Gruesome bloodlines crawled over their bodies, and the violent medicinal power ravaged them, constantly and frantically assaulting their internal meridians.
For a moment, the entire backyard of Shrek Academy was filled with howls and wails. Tang San, who hadn't yet swallowed the Looking Through Autumn Water Dew, stared blankly at the frenzied group.
He then saw Xiao Fei, whose entire body was crimson, and immediately became anxious. He quickly restrained Xiao Fei, who was writhing in pain on the ground.
He continuously guided the violent medicinal power within Xiao Fei to prevent her body from exploding and her dying a tragic death.
As for the others, Tang San was too busy with Xiao Fei, who was waiting for him to save her. The others would have to rely on themselves.
For Xiao Fei, he could only let the others suffer a bit; he believed they would understand.
After a long while, Xiao Fei slowly woke up, covered in sweat, feeling parched and seeing stars.
"Third Brother, I… I think I can't go on."
Licking her dry lips, Xiao Fei said weakly. She felt as if her entire body had been hollowed out, leaving only an empty shell without a soul.
"Hold on, Xiao Fei, I will definitely save you."
Tang San spoke with agitation, looking at the weak Xiao Fei, his voice growing more urgent, tears streaming down his face, his eyes bloodshot.
Xiao Fei! My Xiao Fei!!
Watching Xiao Fei on the verge of fainting, Tang San let out an unwilling roar. It was Dugu Bo, that beast, who had tampered with the Immortal Herb. He was practically courting death.
"Third… Third Brother, stop shaking, I'm fine."
Xiao Fei, dizzy and disoriented, tugged at Tang San's clothes. Her head was spinning, and she said somewhat incoherently, "Water! Water! I want water, Third Brother."
"Water?"
Seeing that Xiao Fei was fine, Tang San gently placed her on the ground, then rummaged through his Twenty-Four Bridges Moonlight, and soon pulled out a water bottle.
However, he found that Xiao Fei had already fainted. Helplessly, the pure and unblemished Tang San had no choice but to awkwardly use his mouth to give her water, so Xiao Fei could drink.
After a long time, Tang San finally touched Xiao Fei's body temperature, and only when he found it stable did he breathe a sigh of relief.
Seemingly remembering his teammates, he looked around at the four unconscious Shrek members, also took out a water bottle, and guided the water to them with his soul power.
Time passed by minute by minute. As evening approached, Flander and the others realized that Tang San and the others hadn't appeared all day, so they went out to search. Soon, they found the five unconscious individuals, and Tang San guarding them.
"Xiao San, what happened?"
Flander was startled to see the little monsters collapsed everywhere. He could no longer remain calm and questioned them, disregarding his image.
Yu Xiaogang's face was also anxious. These were the experimental subjects that proved his theories. If they all died here, his world would collapse.
"Quick, tell me, Xiao San, what exactly happened?"
Fortunately, Ning Rongrong wasn't among them, otherwise Yu Xiaogang and Flander wouldn't know how to face the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
They would probably be flayed alive by the Sword and Bone Title Douluo.
Thinking of this, Yu Xiaogang, who usually wore a zombie-like expression, couldn't help but shiver. They would die, people would really die.
"They all fainted while refining the Immortal Herbs. They'll wake up in a bit."
Tang San had already checked their bodies and found no major problems; at least they had simply fainted, which was a relief.
It was good that they weren't dead, otherwise, it would be much more troublesome for him to fight Spirit Hall alone, reclaim the Haotian Sect, and destroy the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School in the future.
Moreover, without Oscar, he wouldn't be able to use the Martial Soul Fusion Technique, nor could he revive him with the Divine Light of Revival, which would prevent him from being reckless.
"Immortal Herb? What is that?"
The three of them looked at each other, then all turned to Yu Xiaogang, who always considered himself knowledgeable.
"This, I haven't seen in any books either."
Yu Xiaogang awkwardly cleared his throat and said helplessly, then turned to Tang San, coughing a few times for show.
All the knowledge he possessed was stolen from Spirit Hall and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. He had never heard of something like an Immortal Herb.
"Xiao San, why don't you tell us what an Immortal Herb is?"
Tang San secretly disdained Yu Xiaogang, then calmly introduced the wondrous uses of the Immortal Herb.
The three, who had been calm, were greatly alarmed when they heard the wondrous uses of the Immortal Herb. Yu Xiaogang, that good-for-nothing, even blurted out, "What! It can actually improve one's aptitude?"
The words "improve aptitude" had made Yu Xiaogang lose his composure. How could he remain calm? He desperately wanted to shed the label of good-for-nothing.
The deranged Yu Xiaogang suddenly grabbed Tang San's arms, shaking him while speaking excitedly, "Xiao San, do you have any more of those Immortal Herbs? Do you?!"
"Teacher, stop shaking."
Tang San directly slapped Yu Xiaogang's hand away, giving him a look of disdain. "So, your calmness in the previous life was all an act, wasn't it?"
"Are there any more? Xiao San?"
Ignoring his reddened hand, Yu Xiaogang only wanted to know if there were any more of those Immortal Herbs. He desperately wanted to shed the label of good-for-nothing; he dreamed of it.
"Yes, Xiao San, don't keep us in suspense. Do you have any more?"
Liu Erlong, seeing that Yu Xiaogang finally had a chance to shed his good-for-nothing title, was even more anxious than Yu Xiaogang, speaking in a hurried manner.
"Teacher, you are my teacher, I naturally won't forget you."
Tang San's expression was quite serious, appearing to show genuine emotion as he held Yu Xiaogang's hand, though inwardly he felt extreme disgust.
If it weren't to maintain his image of purity, respecting his teacher, and repaying kindness, he wouldn't bother with this good-for-nothing.
He had originally thought Yu Xiaogang could stall Bibidong, but then he discovered that Bibidong had disappeared, inexplicably vanishing several years ago.
Then Yu Xiaogang, this good-for-nothing, had no more use. He had also been expelled from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's family tree, so there was nothing left to exploit.
It was just to maintain his persona.
"Teacher, this is a Ten-Thousand-Year Purple Ganoderma. Please consume it."
He probably couldn't say it wasn't an Immortal Herb. Just trick Yu Xiaogang for now. As a good-for-nothing, he wouldn't recognize it anyway.
This Eight-Grade Purple Ganoderma would at least allow Yu Xiaogang to reach Level 39, and then get stuck again. But by then, Yu Xiaogang would be nearly seventy or eighty, and it would be time for him to be buried.
"Xiao San, you truly are my most cherished disciple."
Heh, aren't I your only disciple? And your most cherished one?
Tang San looked at Yu Xiaogang with even greater disdain in his eyes. Once the competition was over, he would completely cut ties with this good-for-nothing.
Yu Xiaogang carefully and reverently took the Eight-Grade Purple Ganoderma, looked at Tang San with satisfaction, and finally, without hesitation, absorbed it on the spot.
He was already impatient to break through Level 30 quickly.
