Douluo: I, the Sun God

Chapter 44 Absorbing the Immortal Grass
"Yang'er, what do you think about the teacher absorbing the eight-petal fairy orchid?!" After reading the notes, Ning Fengzhi looked at Xu Yang who was teasing Ning Rongrong and asked.

"Teacher, why don't you absorb the Qiluo Tulip?! Although the Eight-petal Fairy Orchid has a mild and mellow medicinal property and is easily absorbed, and can strengthen the body and eliminate impurities, it takes a long time. It is more suitable for Rongrong who has not yet grown up!" Xu Yang was a little confused.

Ning Fengzhi has been at level 79 for several years. He has accumulated enough and there is no room for improvement. Although the Eight-petal Fairy Orchid can evolve the martial soul, it takes too long and is not suitable for him. Instead, it would be better for Ning Rongrong, who has not yet awakened her martial soul, to eat it. Even if she cannot absorb it completely in four years, it can allow her Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda to evolve into a Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda.

"I just wanted to leave the Qiluo Tulip to Rongrong! After all, according to your notes, the Eight-petaled Immortal Orchid is more about improving cultivation aptitude, and it can't completely guarantee the evolution of the martial soul." Ning Fengzhi shook his head and explained, "And if I have accumulated enough, with the help of the medicinal power of the Eight-petaled Immortal Orchid, I might be able to break through the shackles of the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda and reach the Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda. This is just a precaution."

"Anyway, the magic grass has been handed over to the teacher, so you have the final say on how to deal with it!"

Although Xu Yang didn't quite understand, he respected Ning Fengzhi's choice.

The next step was the refining process, and for this purpose, Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo were called in. Sword Douluo refined the Black Jade Divine Bamboo first, which took less than half an hour. The soul power did not increase, but the sharpness of the Seven Kill Sword became stronger and its potential was greater.

"I feel like if I continue practicing for a while, I can reach level ninety-seven!"

Chen Xin clenched the Seven Killing Swords in his hand and whispered that the Black Jade Divine Bamboo did not increase the soul power, but only enhanced the martial soul itself, especially the sharpness and toughness, and enhanced the potential of the soul master himself.

Originally, Chen Xin was stuck at level 96 for many years and had not been able to break through because he took the wrong path after his father was killed by Qian Daoliu. He had some problems with his mentality and believed that soul power was the foundation. He did not have absolute confidence in the way of the sword.

Although his mentality has not changed now, the Black Jade Divine Bamboo has enhanced his potential, allowing him to make further progress, so he was able to break through.

"Then I'll come too!"

Seeing that Chen Xin had finished absorbing everything, Gu Rong couldn't wait to sit down cross-legged. He swallowed the Earth Dragon Gourd in two bites and began to refine it. The Earth Dragon Gourd contained dragon energy, and it had grown by absorbing a trace of dragon energy from the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings.

For Gu Rong, it is a great tonic. His own martial soul is the top martial soul 'Bone Dragon' that can travel through space. After absorbing the dragon energy, even if the martial soul cannot evolve, it can enhance the quality of the martial soul. The most important thing is that it has the effect of increasing soul power.

"Hahaha! Old Swordsman, I'm level ninety-six. I'll show you how powerful I am later!"

After Gu Rong absorbed the Earth Dragon Golden Gourd, he burst into laughter and then provoked the expressionless Sword Douluo Chen Xin.

Although Bone Douluo and Sword Douluo are close friends, they have been fighting for a lifetime and neither of them gives in. However, in previous duels, due to the level of soul power and the Seven Killing Sword, he basically never wins.

But now it’s different. The two are at the same level, and his martial soul is also one step closer. He doesn’t believe that he can’t beat the old guy Chen Xin.

He felt that he was terribly strong now.

"Then you can try it!"

As he spoke, Chen Xin looked at Gu Rong with a fighting spirit in his eyes. The Seven Killing Sword was already in his hand without him knowing.

"Uncle Jian, Uncle Gu, let us absorb the immortal grass first. You'll have plenty of time to spar later. Besides, Rongrong still needs your care!!"

Seeing that his two uncles were on the verge of a fight, Ning Fengzhi hurried forward to persuade them.

Upon hearing the name 'Rongrong', the two old men immediately calmed down their fighting spirit, showing a loving smile. They walked in front of Xu Yang, stretched out their hands and whispered, "Rongrong, come to Grandpa Jian!"

"Old Swordsman, go away, Rongrong won't pay any attention to you!"

"..."

The two old men started arguing in front of Xu Yang.

"No, I want my brother to hold me!"

Ning Rongrong shook her head and buried it in Xu Yang's arms, ignoring the two old men in front of her.

Chen Xin and Gu Rong stood there in a daze, as if they had lost their souls. They didn't expect that after being with Rongrong for so long, they were not as close to her as a brat who only accompanied her occasionally.

Xu Yang smiled bitterly, patted Ning Rongrong's back gently, and advised: "Rongrong, brother has things to do, you stay with the two grandfathers for a while!"

"OK then!"

Hearing this, Ning Rongrong reluctantly got down from Xu Yang's arms and walked towards her two grandfathers, looking back every step of the way.

Xu Yang gave an apologetic smile, then slowly walked to the side. He didn't mind the dirt on the ground, and sat down cross-legged. He took out the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower from the Ruyi Treasure Bag and began to absorb it.

The absorption of Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower is different from that of other magical herbs. He needs to concentrate his soul power to channel and absorb the medicinal power inside. However, the process will be very painful. If he gives up halfway, most of the medicinal power will be lost.

As his soul power enveloped the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower, drawing its medicinal properties into his body, Xu Yang felt an unprecedented burning sensation surge through his body, as if he were being roasted on a fire. His clothes instantly turned to ash, revealing his incredibly muscular body. His entire skin, under this scorching heat, turned red, like a cooked prawn.

Not only that, layers of fine black sweat were exuded from all over his body, whether it was on his skin, cheeks or hair. With each layer of black sweat, his figure became more streamlined and more perfect.

The originally jet-black hair also changed, and under the sunlight, it would flash a faint dark red color.

On the other side, Ning Fengzhi and Madam Ning also swallowed the two magical herbs, Eight-petal Fairy Orchid and Narcissus Jade Muscle and Bone. Ning Fengzhi's body began to emit thick white mist that enveloped him. With his breath, the white mist entered his body through his mouth and nose.

Madam Ning's narcissus jade-like bones and muscles did not have much exotic color, but her skin was smoother and more tender, as delicate as mutton-fat white jade, and so beautiful that it was beyond words.

On the other hand, after some psychological struggle, Ning Haiyan finally decided to eat this strange purple Ganoderma lucidum. There was only one reason for this, and that was that he believed Xu Yang would not harm him.

As he finished eating the Ganoderma lucidum, he sat cross-legged and used his soul power to refine the medicinal power. Purple light began to emanate from his body, and fine black beads of sweat were continuously discharged from all parts of his body, filling the entire room with a strange smell.

The person who refined the medicinal power the fastest was Ning Fengzhi, not only because of his high level of cultivation, but also because the Eight-petal Fairy Orchid was very easy to absorb, and would keep most of the medicinal power hidden in the body, integrating it into himself little by little over time.
