Previously, to avoid unnecessary trouble, Tang San had moved to a valley outside Heaven Dou City. The environment there was secluded, and it would be easy to expose anyone keeping watch, so Ning Bei had entrusted this task to the Blue Silver Emperor.
Being able to connect with all Blue Silver Grass in the world, she could easily keep track of Tang San's every move. Since he hadn't shown any intention of leaving the valley for almost a full year, Ning Bei hadn't paid much attention to him. However, A Yin's words now reminded him of this Tang God King.
"He left the valley?"
"Yes, he is currently on his way to the Star Luo Empire. I heard it's for a God Test, but he didn't tell that woman the specifics, so I'm not too sure."
That woman, of course, referred to Tang Yuehua. If he was leaving the mountain for a God Test, he must have completed the emotional control assessment. There was no need to worry too much about the content of this third test; as long as he wanted to complete the assessment, there would eventually be a day when his purpose was revealed.
"Understood. You can continue to keep an eye on him then. If necessary, you can create some minor troubles for him."
"I understand, Benefactor."
A Yin revealed a faint smile. Hating Tang San to the bone, she was very willing to accept this task. It was both a way to repay Ning Bei and to pave the way for her own revenge.
After recalling A Yin, Ning Bei didn't pay too much attention to Tang San's actions. Whatever the other party needed to do, he would just counter it as it came.
The next day, Ning Bei said goodbye to his parents early and headed towards the Far North Land. His repeated trips had made him very familiar with the route.
Since he wasn't in a hurry, Ning Bei planned to use Heavenly Water City as a transit point for this trip. After all, the Shui Family had helped him with many things, and it wouldn't be good to ignore them for so long.
Upon arriving at Heavenly Water City, Ning Bei went directly to the Back Mountain of Tianshui Academy, where the Ice God Hall was located.
Seeing many long-legged girls wearing academy uniforms meditating and cultivating on the hundred-step stairs, Ning Bei revealed a knowing smile. This could be considered a small benefit he had given to the Shui Family.
Arriving at the Ice God Hall, the four statues he had created with Soul Power stood motionless within the hall, completely unchanged.
"Who's there? Do not disturb the tranquility of the Ice God Hall. Please leave quickly."
A female voice came from outside the main hall. Following the sound, it was Shui Bing'er, whom he hadn't seen in two years, the one he had casually appointed as the High Priest of the Ice God Hall.
Seeing that it was Ning Bei, Shui Bing'er, who had just been very serious, instantly brightened her eyes and then respectfully bowed.
"Your Excellency finally remembers this branch hall in Heavenly Water City."
"Uh..."
The slightly resentful tone made Ning Bei a little awkward. It was as if she was saying he was a man who didn't acknowledge what he had done after pulling up his pants.
"It's been a long time, Miss Shui. I've been busy with many trivial matters, so I haven't been able to spare time to visit Heavenly Water City."
Shui Bing'er's expression, which seemed to say 'do you think I believe you?', made Ning Bei feel uneasy. He quickly took out a herb from his Soul Tool and handed it over.
"This is Narcissus Jade Bone. After eating the petals, suck the pistil and activate it with Soul Power. Taking it can nourish tendons and strengthen bones, and open up the eight extraordinary meridians."
"If you take it, you will likely increase your Soul Power cultivation by several levels, and you can also consider higher years when obtaining Spirit Rings in the future."
"This..."
Shui Bing'er, who had only intended to tease Ning Bei, was instantly stunned. This herb was clearly not an ordinary item, and after hearing Ning Bei's description, she understood its terrifying effects.
"This is too valuable, I can't accept it."
"Take it. Consider it a reward for helping me look after the Ice God Hall these past two years."
"A reward?"
Hearing this, Shui Bing'er immediately showed a look of disappointment, but quickly covered it with a smile. She didn't refuse Ning Bei's kindness anymore and extended her jade hand to accept the Narcissus Jade Bone.
"Then thank you very much, Your Excellency."
"No need. It is I who should thank your Shui Family. My seventh assessment has been successfully completed, and you have contributed greatly."
"You can absorb the Immortal Herb right here. The ice-attribute energy in the Ice God Hall is abundant, which can better promote the absorption of the medicinal power. Also, I am a few years older than you, just call me Big Brother Ning Bei. There's no need to call me Your Excellency anymore."
Shui Bing'er bloomed a gentle smile and nodded at Ning Bei, seemingly very happy to have a closer relationship with him.
"Then I'll trouble Big Brother Ning Bei to protect me."
"Okay."
Without any doubt about Ning Bei, Shui Bing'er immediately took the Narcissus Jade Bone and sat cross-legged, starting to take it according to the method Ning Bei had told her. After eating the petals, she sucked the pistil, and then closed her eyes to absorb the medicinal power.
Being trusted without reason was always heartwarming. Although a Limit Douluo indeed had no need to deceive her, Ning Bei didn't rush to the Far North. He quietly stayed in the main hall, protecting Shui Bing'er. He wasn't sure if it was his illusion, but after absorbing the medicinal power of the Narcissus Jade Bone, Shui Bing'er's already fair skin became even more translucent, like a finely carved jade.
Shaking his head, Ning Bei dismissed those inappropriate thoughts. This woman clearly had feelings for him. If it were ten years ago, he might have gone along with it half-heartedly, but now that he had Little Angel and Dugu Yan, Ning Bei didn't plan to attract any more women. After all, emotional debts were still debts.
In three years, Shui Bing'er had also broken through from a high-level Soul Elder during the Soul Master Competition to the Soul King level. Although he hadn't asked, Ning Bei could feel that her Soul Power fluctuation was around level 55. She must have put in a lot of hard work. Now, after taking the Narcissus Jade Bone given by Ning Bei, her Soul Power fluctuation began to increase visibly.
The entire process lasted for nearly five hours, and Shui Bing'er's Soul Power barely reached a bottleneck. Now, she could be considered a quasi-Soul Emperor. After another few dozen minutes, her crystal-like eyes slowly opened, filled with disbelief.
"Big Brother Ning Bei, my Soul Power has actually reached level 60."
Although Ning Bei had said that taking this Immortal Herb could increase Soul Power cultivation, Shui Yue'er hadn't expected it to be equivalent to several years of her own hard training. The feeling of jumping five levels was truly intoxicating for her. At the same time, she understood where the cultivation of the children in the Royal Fight Second Team, which far surpassed their peers, came from. She couldn't help but feel a surge of envy.
"As for the Spirit Ring, I believe your elders will arrange it for you. I won't meddle."
"Not at all, I still thank Big Brother Ning Bei very much!"
"Okay."
It was meaningless to keep being polite, so Ning Bei accepted Shui Bing'er's gratitude and stopped the situation.
"Is Big Brother Ning Bei here specifically to check on the Ice God Hall this time? Would you like to visit the Shui Family?"
Thinking about the awkward feeling of visiting the Shui Family last time, Ning Bei shivered and subconsciously refused.
"No, I still have some matters regarding the God Test that require me to go deep into the Far North Land. I won't bother you further. Here are some pills that can temporarily enhance the strength of a Soul Master's meridians. Take them with you; they will be very useful when absorbing Spirit Rings."
While refusing Shui Bing'er's kindness, Ning Bei took out a few jade bottles and threw them to her. As expected, upon hearing that it was about the God Test, Shui Bing'er couldn't continue to persuade him to stay.
