Douro Continent

Chapter 255 Peerless Immortal Delicacy Matched with Seven Eccentrics (Part 2)

A resolute light shone in Xiao Wu's eyes. No one knew how bold and determined her decision was.

Time passed slowly, second by second. In the blink of an eye, three hours had passed. As the effects of the divine herbs took hold, all of the Shrek Seven Devils except for Xiao Wu, plus Grandmaster, had undergone varying degrees of change.

After consuming the "Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum," Dai Mubai's body was covered in white hair, just like when he summoned the White Tiger during his Martial Soul Possession. He was originally sitting cross-legged, but now he was lying on the ground in a starfish position, his limbs were noticeably more than twice their original size, and the sound of his bones cracking could be heard constantly.

The three spirit rings on his body flashed with dazzling brilliance at an astonishing speed, and occasionally a low roar like thunder could be heard from his throat. His entire body was trembling in a peculiar rhythm.

Oscar was the calmest of the group, sitting quietly, but he exuded a special fragrance unique to the "Eight-Point Fairy Orchid". A faint white mist rose from his skin and swirled around his body.

He was already the most handsome of the Shrek Seven Devils, and now, against the backdrop of the white mist, he appeared even more ethereal and noble.

Ma Hongjun's appearance was the most fiery. At this moment, the fat man's clothes had all turned to ashes, revealing a body of bright red fat. The medicinal effects of the 'Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower' were extremely domineering. At this moment, layers of fine juice were constantly seeping out from under his skin, and the fat man's body looked like a cooked shrimp. Even his hair had turned fiery red.

Strangely, whenever a layer of black liquid seeped out from his body, his fat would shrink a little. Xiao Wu, who was observing from the side, couldn't help but think that Tang San had given the fat man some kind of special weight loss drug.

Ning Rongrong's transformation was the most magnificent. The Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda, shimmering with seven-colored light, floated quietly in front of her, its three halos flashing and set off by a layer of rich golden light.

The golden light emanated from Ning Rongrong herself, carrying the rich fragrance of tulips. As the light swirled, she appeared like a fairy descending to earth. Each time the golden light intensified, it made Ning Rongrong's Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda appear even more dazzling and radiant.

The golden light emanating from Ning Rongrong and the white mist emanating from Oscar seemed to attract each other. The white mist and golden light intertwined in the air, and the fragrances from the two of them also mingled together, creating an incredibly pleasant and unique aroma.

Even Tang San didn't know that the "Qiluo Tulip" that Ning Rongrong ate and the "Eight-Point Immortal Orchid" that Oscar ate were a pair of mandarin duck immortal herbs, just like the "Eight-Cornered Mysterious Ice Grass" and "Blazing Apricot Blossom" that he had eaten, which had a complementary effect.

The same situation occurred between Zhu Zhuqing and Dai Mubai, not because of their relationship with the immortal herbs, but because of their martial soul fusion skill.

The master sat there calmly, his whole body radiating a faint purple light. Although he didn't look as fiery as Ma Hongjun, his body, like Ma Hongjun's, was constantly oozing a layer of black liquid.

Both the "Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower" and the "Nine-Grade Purple Ganoderma" have the effect of transforming one's body. Tang San forgot to mention this.

At this moment, Tang San himself did not experience much reaction; only his head was enveloped in a faint crimson-gold light, with golden light continuously condensing towards his eyes like threads.

Xiao Wu stood there holding the "Heartbreak Red of Longing," quietly inhaling its rich fragrance. Her gaze occasionally swept over the others, but remained mostly on Tang San.

As the sun gradually rose in the east and set in the west, the first to awaken from his cultivation was Oscar, who had taken the mildest medicine, "Eight-fold Immortal Orchid."

Stretching lazily, Oscar opened his eyes as if he had just woken up. "Ah, that feels so good!"

Xiao Wu glared at him and whispered, "Everyone is still cultivating, keep your voice down."

Oscar blinked, then noticed the other people sitting around him, quickly covered his mouth and stood up.

Xiao Wu looked him up and down a few times. She noticed that the otherworldly and noble aura that Oscar had generated when absorbing the Eight Immortal Orchids had not disappeared with the end of his cultivation. He seemed to be shrouded in a layer of lustrous glow.

"Is there anything different?" Xiao Wu asked quietly.

Oscar paused for a moment before remembering to feel the changes in his own body.

Soon, his expression turned strange, a mixture of surprise and disbelief. His smile gradually widened, and if it weren't for the fact that everyone else around him was still cultivating, he would have burst out laughing.

"How about it? Stop covering your mouth." Xiao Wu slapped Oscar's hand away.

Oscar's eyes blazed with fiery excitement. "Awesome, this is so awesome!"

"Fun my foot!" Xiao Wu glared at him, annoyed. "Quick, tell me, what happened?"

Oscar chuckled, held out a hand, and waved it in front of Xiao Wu. "Level five! My soul power has increased by a full five levels! That's unbelievable. I'm already level thirty-eight. My god, I'm almost catching up to Boss Dai!"

Although he guessed that the celestial herbs Tang San gave him would be very effective, it still felt different to hear it from Oscar's own mouth. A single 'Eight-Petaled Celestial Orchid' actually helped Oscar's soul power jump five levels directly.

In other words, their soul power is now about the same as that of the soul masters in the Royal Fighting Team, who are on average more than five years older than them.

"What are you yelling about? You're only level five? You're not even as good as me." Ning Rongrong's voice rang out from the side. The golden light on her body had completely subsided, and her right hand was holding her Seven Treasure Glazed Pagoda. Below the Seven Treasure Glazed Pagoda, there was a faint circle of golden light like tulip petals.

Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu exchanged a smile. "I've improved by six levels, now I'm level thirty-seven."

Oscar couldn't help but say, "Are we dreaming? If cultivation becomes this easy, what's the point of all this hard work? We could just eat flowers every day."

Xiao Wu pouted, "Don't dream about it. Xiao San said that you can't eat too many of these immortal herbs; it'll only cause harm. Aren't you satisfied with just five levels of advancement? Master said that the younger you are, the easier it is to cultivate. You're only fifteen years old, aren't you?"

Ning Rongrong exclaimed excitedly, "I never expected that I could improve so much so soon after breaking through the level 30 barrier! Maybe we'll reach level 40 soon too. Also, I feel like my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda has changed a bit. I can't quite put my finger on what it is, but something just feels off."

Oscar lowered his head and looked at the pagoda in Ning Rongrong's hand, then suddenly exclaimed, "I know!"

Ning Rongrong quickly covered his mouth, "Can't you keep your voice down?"

Oscar grabbed Ning Rongrong's hand, which she was covering, and deliberately lowered his excited voice, "Rongrong, Rongrong, count quickly, how many layers does your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda have?"

Ning Rongrong was stunned for a moment before noticing her pagoda. "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine. Nine? How could it be? How did it become nine stories?"

Ning Rongrong felt a surge of emotion welling up inside her, and even her voice trembled slightly. What did it mean that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda had become nine stories high?

This meant that what she possessed was no longer the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, but the legendary Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, the lifelong goal of her father, Ning Fengzhi, the sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. And she had actually achieved it at this moment.

Ning Rongrong couldn't help but look at Tang San. If it weren't for Xiao Wu, she would even have the urge to offer herself to him.

Only those directly descended from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School understand what the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda means; for the entire Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, it is extremely important.

After a brief moment of excitement, Ning Rongrong gradually calmed down, though her hand holding the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda was still trembling slightly. She knew that Tang San's kindness extended beyond her, to the entire Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. It seemed she had to go home.

"Have you all absorbed it?" Just then, Tang San's voice rang out, and he stood up from the ground with his eyes closed.

"Third Brother!" Ning Rongrong rushed over and gave Tang San a big hug, wrapping her arms around his neck and giving him a hard kiss on the cheek.

Her actions not only stunned Tang San, but also Oscar and Xiao Wu, whose expressions turned somewhat strange. Fortunately, Ning Rongrong's next words put them at ease.
