Chapter 180: Chapter 178 Immortal Herbs? Tang San curses, why is Xu Ran so lucky?_1
"Alright, no need to say more, let me endure the pain alone."
"As a man, it's okay to suffer a bit. No worries, I can take it," Xu Ran deliberately said, watching Ning Rongrong's reaction.
As expected, Ning Rongrong began to feel some compassion.
"Then, I can only help you in a different way..." Ning Rongrong said shyly, looking at her own slender and soft hands.
"These... all this random knowledge, where on earth did you hear about it?" Xu Ran's face darkened as he couldn't help but ask. Ning Rongrong was quite knowledgeable. If it really came to that, she wouldn't be able to take back her words. Once they were in a room together, just her little hands wouldn't satisfy him.
However, it's worth mentioning that as a support-class Soul Master, Ning Rongrong's hands were indeed very soft, delicate and seemingly boneless.
"Tao Hong told me. Tao Hong is my maidservant," Ning Rongrong pouted slightly and spoke softly. She stole a glance at Xu Ran, feeling a bit anxious. Did Xu Ran not like that? Could it be that Tao Hong was wrong?
"Listen to her say those things less in the future," Xu Ran said as he stroked Ning Rongrong's hair, his tone serious and heartfelt. He realized now how Ning Rongrong came to know so much—her own maidservant was that kind of person. Under the influence of such company, Ning Rongrong was naturally affected quite a bit.
"Oh." Ning Rongrong nodded, her beautiful eyes looking toward Xu Ran. She still hadn't grasped Xu Ran's meaning—whether he wanted it or not. But none of that mattered anymore. In any case, if Xu Ran was set on doing something, she wouldn't oppose it.
"Right, let's not talk about this for now. I have brought gifts for you all this time," Xu Ran said. His main reason for returning this time was to deliver those Immortal Herbs to them.
In the original story, the Immortal Herbs played a crucial role in the development of the Shrek Seven Monsters. Without the Immortal Herbs, it would have been impossible for them to win the Continental Soul Master Elite Competition, for Zhu Zhuqing and Dai Mubai to defeat Davis, for Ning Rongrong to stop at Soul Sage, for Tang San's growth rate to slow down and still manage to defeat Bi Bidong and Qian Renxue...
The Immortal Herbs could refine the body and marrow, allowing the Seven Monsters to face almost no significant bottleneck before reaching Soul Sage; once their Soul Power reserves were sufficient, they would break through. As for after reaching Soul Sage, they had the divine test, which was even more incredible than the Immortal Herbs, and the Seven Monsters' "Cultivation Level" progressed incredibly fast toward divinity.
And now all these advantages were in his hands, Xu Ran's. The Immortal Herbs could only be consumed by his women. Others, aside from Tang San, Oscar, and Ma Hongjun, shouldn't even dream of enjoying the Immortal Herbs. He was not that selfless.
"Xu Ran, what gifts?" Ning Rongrong's eyes sparkled with curiosity. Seeing that Xu Ran had put away his shameless smile and his expression had become grave, she knew that the gifts he spoke of were no trivial matter.
"After I left Shrek Academy last time, I used my newfound strength to go to a very mysterious place. There treasures fill the land, and every single one of them can cleanse the marrow and transform the body. That place is called the Icefire Polarized Eyes," Xu Ran said, his lips curving into a smile.
He could feel Tang San close by, and he knew that this would pique Tang San's interest.
At the moment, Tang San was closely following Xu Ran, initially only intent on being vigilant against Xu Ran making a move on Xiaowu. But he had not expected to stumble upon such a secret.
"Icefire Polarized Eyes, it's actually the Icefire Polarized Eyes. Oh my god. That's the number one treasure trove among the three great treasure sites. Xu Ran is so lucky to have stumbled upon such an amazing place," Tang San's eyes instantly reddened.
He had no idea how Xu Ran knew about the existence of Icefire Polarized Eyes, but he wasn't arrogant enough to believe that the contents recorded in the Mystic Sky Records were unknown to everyone in this world.
Now his mind was filled with Xu Ran's words. The Icefire Polarized Eyes was a rare blessing; inside, there must be countless Immortal Herbs and medicinal materials that he needed.
"Why is this damn Xu Ran so lucky? I, Tang San, am a reborn person with Twin Martial Souls, I should be the Child of Destiny. Why don't I have such good fortune?" Tang San said, his eyes red with envy.
He cursed silently; he never expected Xu Ran, that damn scoundrel, not only to return safely but to also stumble into a blessed land such as the Icefire Polarized Eyes because of a disaster.
Hidden behind a large tree, he continued to eavesdrop on the conversation between Xu Ran and Ning Rongrong.
At this moment, if he wasn't lacking in strength, he would definitely have snatched Xu Ran's storage ring directly, for it might contain all the precious treasures of a blessed land.
A place like the Icefire Polarized Eyes would never grow worthless herbs. It's like how plants wilt from too much fertilizer; the Icefire Polarized Eyes are the perfect nourishment, allowing plants to mature at an incredible speed. The higher the grade of the plant, the more benefits it reaps from the Icefire Polarized Eyes. And the lower-grade ones would have difficulty even surviving.
Therefore, what Xu Ran held in his hand were definitely high-grade herbs, and if that Icefire Polarized Eyes had never been explored before, Immortal Herbs might even have been born there.
"Icefire Polarized Eyes?" Ning Rongrong blinked her beautiful big eyes, dumbfounded by Xu Ran's description, too shocked to say a word.
To Ning Rongrong, Xu Ran's bizarre experiences were like an extremely legendary tale, captivating and enthralling.
And at this time, her curiosity about the gift Xu Ran mentioned was even greater.
"This gift I'm giving you will greatly benefit your Martial Soul. It could even elevate your Martial Soul, transforming the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda into the Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda. In the future, you'll be able to cultivate to the level of a Titled Douluo," Xu Ran said with a smile, gently tousling Ning Rongrong's long hair.
Because of the inherent limitations of the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect, including Ning Fengzhi himself, the Ning Family could only attach seven Soul Rings, never being able to break through to the realm of a Soul Douluo. Unless it changed from Seven Treasures to Eight, to Nine...
"Xu Ran, what did you say?" Ning Rongrong's delicate body trembled with excitement as she gazed at Xu Ran, instinctively hugging his arm tightly. Only she understood what the Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda meant for the Ning Family.
"I said, our Rongrong will be a support-class Soul Master at the Titled Douluo level in the future," Xu Ran playfully pinched Ning Rongrong's cute nose, speaking affectionately.
Meanwhile, he took out a jade box from his Storage Soul Guidance Device and handed it to Ning Rongrong, "Open it and take a look."
"Okay." Ning Rongrong took the jade box, her heart pounding.
She knew what she was holding was the very treasure Xu Ran said could help her Martial Soul become the Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda.
Ning Rongrong excitedly opened the jade box.
The moment the lid was lifted, waves of a strange fragrance wafted out. The rich scent of Damask Tulips was so refreshing that it made their minds clear and their Soul Power circulate much more swiftly as the breeze carried the enchanting floral fragrance through the air.
"Damask Tulips." Smelling this scent, Tang San, still relying on his Purple Demon Eyes to observe the herbs in the box, couldn't help but exclaim aloud.
Because the Damask Tulips were Immortal Grade Herbs.
Such herbs could be consumed to effortlessly break through many "Cultivation Levels" without damaging the foundation. Even he couldn't stay calm at the sight of such a treasure.
