"So these are the Immortal Herbs Grandfather mentioned in his letter!"
Qian Renxue observed the two beautiful flowers in her hands intently.
For some reason...
Her Martial Soul felt a strong affinity for the Immortal Herb in her left hand, which had golden, feather-like petals.
"The Immortal Herb in your left hand is called the sacred feather sky orchid!"
"It is an Immortal Grade herb."
"It is highly compatible with your Seraphim. If you consume it, the quality of your Martial Soul will be greatly enhanced."
"And in your right hand, you are holding the Yearning Heartbroken Red."
"Don't be fooled by its plain appearance; it is actually a Divine Grade among Immortal Herbs!"
"It's said that there is a very touching story behind this Yearning Heartbroken Red..."
Jin Mian told Qian Renxue the story of the Yearning Heartbroken Red as it was described in the original work.
After Qian Renxue finished listening, she was deeply moved.
To think such a devoted lover existed in this world!
"Plucking this Yearning Heartbroken Red is no easy task," Jin Mian continued.
"When plucking it, you must think of your beloved in your heart. It must be a sincere and absolute will, an affection without a single trace of impurity."
"Then, you must drop a single drop of heart's blood onto the pistil before it can be plucked."
"During this process, if you are half-hearted..."
"Even if you spit out all your heart's blood onto the pistil, you won't be able to pick this flower."
"However, the effects of this flower are the strongest among all Immortal Herbs."
"The owner gains the merit of being immortal alongside heaven and earth. After consuming it, one's spirit power can directly increase by over ten levels. It also completely transforms the human body, possessing the power to bring the dead back to life and regrow flesh on bone."
"Let me put it this way: even if a Soul Master only has level one innate spirit power and a trash Martial Soul, consuming this Immortal Herb would instantly turn them into a peerless genius!"
"What do you think? Xiao Xue, do you want to give it a try?"
Jin Mian asked with a serious expression.
"A beloved..."
Qian Renxue murmured.
She then followed the method Jin Mian described, closing her eyes and constantly thinking of her beloved in her heart.
And that person was, naturally, Jin Mian.
Even though this dog man was always making her angry.
She herself was also disappointing; it wouldn't take long before she was coaxed back into a good mood by him.
And she had even signed all sorts of unequal treaties.
Could this be love?
"That's about enough, Xiao Xue. Drop your heart's blood onto the pistil of the Yearning Heartbroken Red."
Hearing this.
Qian Renxue opened her eyes, her right hand gathering spirit power to strike her chest.
Pfft!
A mouthful of fresh blood sprayed onto the pistil... a few seconds passed quietly.
The Yearning Heartbroken Red showed no reaction at all.
"What's happening?"
"Didn't you say it could be plucked by thinking of one's beloved?"
"Could it be that Jin Mian isn't the one I love?"
Qian Renxue's brows furrowed tightly, and her lips, stained red by blood, began to tremble slightly.
She was certain.
When she was thinking of Jin Mian just now, there wasn't the slightest bit of impurity.
But then what was going on?
Could it be that her love for Jin Mian wasn't deep enough?
For a moment, Qian Renxue didn't dare to look at Jin Mian.
Just as her mind was racing with wild thoughts.
The next moment.
The white flower that looked like a peony atop the Black Absolute Stone erupted with blood-red light.
Many blood-red spots also appeared on the petals.
It looked extremely enchanting and beautiful.
"It worked!" Qian Renxue swept away the gloom in her heart.
Holding the Yearning Heartbroken Red, she happily shared her joy with Jin Mian.
Jin Mian asked in confusion, "Strange, is the casting time for this flower usually this long? Who were you thinking of just now?"
"Why don't you guess?" Qian Renxue said with a smile.
She wasn't about to tell Jin Mian that she was thinking of him just now.
In fact.
It wasn't because Qian Renxue's love for Jin Mian wasn't deep enough.
It was because what happened earlier had truly made Qian Renxue quite angry.
This was what caused the Yearning Heartbroken Red to be delayed by a few seconds.
Jin Mian said insensitively, "Am I a child? Why should I guess?"
"Alright, consume these two Immortal Herbs as soon as possible."
"I'll protect you while you do."
Qian Renxue nodded and sat cross-legged on the bed.
She first consumed the sacred feather sky orchid.
Releasing her Seraphim Martial Soul, she used her spirit power to refine the medicinal power.
As she continuously absorbed the medicinal power.
The Seraphim Martial Soul emitted a dazzling golden light.
Its original light element and sacred aura began to become even more pure.
The quality of her Martial Soul was enhanced.
The aura on Qian Renxue's body also began to climb rapidly.
From level forty-five, it jumped straight to level fifty!
If not for the restriction of the Soul Ring, it probably would have increased by quite a bit more.
"So... so powerful!"
"Is this the power of an Immortal Herb? My spirit power actually increased by 5 levels directly!"
"And my Martial Soul seems to have received a significant boost as well!"
Feeling the changes within herself.
Qian Renxue spoke with great surprise.
Jin Mian reminded her, "Don't stop, strike while the iron is hot, quickly consume the Yearning Heartbroken Red!"
"Okay!"
Although she felt a bit reluctant to part with it.
She still did as Jin Mian said.
She plucked the Yearning Heartbroken Red from the Black Absolute Stone and swallowed it in one go.
It had to be said.
The Yearning Heartbroken Red truly lived up to its name as the Divine Grade among Immortal Herbs.
The moment she swallowed it.
The effects were instantaneous.
That powerful yet gentle medicinal power continuously washed through the bloodlines in Qian Renxue's body.
Making them even more refined.
The Seraphim Martial Soul behind her also shone with intense golden light at this moment.
The six golden wings on its back actually slowly grew two more at this moment.
Eight-Winged Angel!
A vast sacred power erupted.
"Oh no, this commotion is a bit too big!"
Jin Mian hurriedly summoned his Martial Soul, the Golden Crocodile King.
Two purple, one black, one gold, and two red—a luxurious combination of Soul Rings circled around him.
"Fifth Spirit Ability, Golden Shield!"
A golden protective shield enveloped the entire room.
Outside the secret room.
Yu Long and Ci Xue, disguised as guards, were stationed here as bored as usual.
Suddenly.
A powerful aura emanated from within the palace.
"This is the Young Lord's aura."
"What's the situation? Why would the Young Lord erupt with such powerful strength?"
The two were beyond confused.
Suddenly, they remembered that this was the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace.
If others detected this aura, it would be troublesome.
So they quickly used their spirit power to expand a spirit power barrier, concealing the aura here.
Immediately following that.
A powerful beam of golden energy shot up into the sky from within the palace.
In an instant, the spirit power barrier the two had condensed was covered in cracks.
"Not good!"
"If this energy is seen by others, then the Young Lord's identity will be exposed!"
It was common knowledge.
The Martial Soul traditionally passed down by the Heaven Dou Imperial Family was the Swan.
Although this Martial Soul was noble, it was a support-type Martial Soul.
It was impossible for it to erupt with such powerful energy.
Just as the barrier was about to give way and shatter completely.
Jin E descended from the sky, his hands spread wide.
That pure and powerful level ninety-nine spirit power was injected into the barrier.
Instantly, the barrier that was about to break was restored to its complete state.
"This Stinky Kid is being too reckless."
"How could he let Xiao Xue absorb an Immortal Herb here?"
Jin E immediately guessed what had happened.
At the same moment Qian Renxue's Martial Soul underwent evolution, a massive commotion also occurred at Spirit Hall, thousands of miles away...
