Douluo: Martial Soul White Tiger, I am the White Emperor of Heaven

Chapter 500 Ning Rongrong's Determination, Immortal Herb, Silky Tulip
Dai Chengfeng was taken aback by Ning Rongrong's sudden question, paused for a moment, and then nodded subconsciously.

After all, that was indeed his initial impression of Ning Rongrong.

Although things have changed somewhat since then, deeply ingrained views cannot be completely changed overnight.

Seeing this, Ning Rongrong was not angry. Instead, she showed a smile that was a little self-deprecating and understanding.

She said softly, "I know that in many people's eyes, I am willful, capricious, and sometimes even unreasonable."

“But do you know what? Back when I was in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, by Grandpa Sword and Grandpa Bone’s side, when I did that, they never really got angry. They just thought I was cute.”

"I thought...that was how to get along with people."

Her voice gradually lowered, carrying a hint of barely perceptible grievance and a growing sense of understanding: "Later, after leaving home and meeting you all, I gradually came to understand..."

"Not everyone will be as unconditionally tolerant of me as Grandpa Sword and Grandpa Bones."

“Some of my behaviors may seem to you as immature or trouble-making… I know it’s wrong, but actually… I’ve been trying to change.”

"It's just that sometimes, habits are really hard to break all at once..."

She raised her head, looking intently at Dai Chengfeng with pure and unwavering eyes: "I want this immortal herb not only to become stronger, but also to prove myself to my father, to Grandpa Sword, and Grandpa Bone!"

"Their little witch has grown up!"

"I can endure pain, I can distinguish right from wrong, and I can strive and persevere towards my goals!"

"I am Ning Rongrong..."

"No longer a fledgling that needs their wings to protect it forever!"

Looking at the girl in front of him, who seemed to have shed all her spoiled nature in an instant, leaving only honesty and determination, Dai Chengfeng felt a slight stirring in his heart.

He saw the unwavering determination and the sincere desire for recognition in Ning Rongrong's eyes.

At that moment, he believed that she was truly prepared to face any challenges brought by the drug's effects, including the embarrassing "side effects."

He remained silent for a moment, and finally, all the teasing and scheming turned into a soft sigh, tinged with a hint of appreciation and seriousness:
"alright, I got it."

His gaze sharpened and became focused. "Since you are so determined, then I will grant your wish!"

"I hope you won't let me down, and even more so, don't let your father, Grandpa Sword, and Grandpa Bone down!"

As he spoke, Dai Chengfeng flipped his wrist, and a warm, smooth jade box appeared in his palm.

He carefully opened the box, and instantly, a rich orchid fragrance filled the air.

It is so refreshing that just one whiff of it makes one feel as if their soul power is circulating faster.

Inside the jade box, a peculiar plant lay quietly.

It is shaped like a vine, but at the top it blooms a golden tulip.

The petals are like gold, shimmering and radiant, and the stamens sway gently, exuding an amazing spiritual aura.

"This item is called 'Qiluo Tulip'." Dai Chengfeng's voice was solemn. "It is elegant and luxurious, absorbing the essence of heaven and earth and the brilliance of the sun and moon. It is the king of celestial products."

"Its nature is neutral, yet it contains endless mysteries, making it an excellent supplement to your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul."

"By taking it, you will have a great chance to break through the limitations of your martial soul and evolve the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda into the legendary Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda!"

Ning Rongrong held her breath, her eyes fixed on the beautiful tulip, her heart pounding with excitement and anticipation. The Nine-Jeweled Glazed Pagoda… her dream was within reach!
Dai Chengfeng carefully explained the method of consumption: "Remember, this flower cannot be swallowed directly. Instead, first consume eight petals, then gently inhale the stamen to slowly absorb its essence into your body, and finally use your soul power to guide and refine the medicinal power."

"The process may be agonizing, but you must keep your mind clear and guide the medicinal power to your martial soul."

"I will be there to protect you, but whether you succeed or not ultimately depends on yourself."

He solemnly handed the jade box containing the beautiful tulips to Ning Rongrong.

"I understand!"

Just as Ning Rongrong agreed, her beautiful eyes fixed on the "Qiluo Tulip" that could change her destiny, filled with anticipation, Dai Chengfeng suddenly changed the subject, saying:

"This isn't over yet."

"Not over yet?"

Ning Rongrong was slightly taken aback and looked at him with a puzzled expression.

With another flick of his wrist, Dai Chengfeng produced two more boxes of different designs.

One is a small bottle carved from the finest white jade, its body warm and smooth, radiating a faint coolness;
The other is a jet-black jade box that feels cold to the touch, and it looks even more mysterious.

"The Qiluo Tulip Master is elevating the essence of your martial spirit and breaking through your limits."

"However, the evolution of a martial soul requires a strong foundation and soul power as support. In addition, the evolved martial soul can only unleash its full power if it is equipped with a soul ring of a higher age."

Dai Chengfeng patiently explained that since he had decided to invest, he wanted to do his best.

This would make Ning Rongrong, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, owe him an enormous favor.

He first picked up the white jade bottle, uncorked it, and a refreshing and invigorating medicinal fragrance immediately wafted out, instantly uplifting his spirits.

Dai Chengfeng looked at Ning Rongrong and said, "Take this pill first to lay a good foundation."

"This pill is called the 'Great Rejuvenation Pill'. Its effects are relatively mild. Before you take the Qiluo Tulip, it can cleanse your marrow, broaden your meridians, solidify your foundation, and improve your soul power level."

"This way, it will be easier for you to absorb the power of the immortal herbs, and your body will be better able to withstand the impact of the martial soul's evolution."

Then, Dai Chengfeng's gaze fell on the black jade box, and his expression became noticeably more serious, even carrying a hint of mockery.

"And this..."

He gently opened the black jade box, and a more intense medicinal power, carrying a slightly domineering aura, wafted out. Inside the box lay a dark yellow, gelatinous substance the size of a longan.

"And this is the pill I mentioned before, the one that can increase the age of a soul ring, the Whale... uh, Dragon Blood Soul Tempering Pill."

After thinking for a moment, Dai Chengfeng decided not to reveal the name of the whale glue and instead made one up randomly.

Otherwise, if Ning Rongrong were to reveal the effects of the whale glue, it would be troublesome for him to collect it later.

Thinking about it, Dai Chengfeng shook his head. "The main ingredient of the Dragon Blood Soul Tempering Pill contains the essence of the dragon bloodline, which is extremely yang and strong. Its medicinal power is incomparably domineering. While tempering the soul ring and improving its quality, it will cause the blood and qi to boil... Hmm, that 'special' side effect mainly comes from it."

"Moreover, its medicinal effects will take effect after the Marrow Cleansing Pill and the Qiluo Tulip. At that time, the three medicinal powers will overlap, especially after the essence of heaven and earth in the Qiluo Tulip is activated, which will further enhance the medicinal properties of the Dragon Blood Soul Tempering Pill..."

"Therefore, the 'side effects' will probably be several times stronger than what Zhu Qing and Nana experienced back then."
