In Douluo Continent, he tricked Xiao Wu into giving him a soul ring.

Zhu Zhuqing blushed and lowered her head. "I know, but there's no one around right now, so I wanted to talk to you..."

Lan Si's lips suddenly curled into a wicked smile. "What? Am I not handsome enough as I am now?"

"No... mmm..." Before Zhu Zhuqing could finish speaking, she saw a flash of blue light before her eyes, and Lan Si instantly reverted to his ice-blue long hair after his martial soul evolution, and then kissed her lips.

She widened her eyes, then slowly closed them, gradually losing herself in the kiss.

Some people feel that the recent chapters are a bit weak and want to see how Qingjiao (a character in the novel) tortures Tang San. However, these chapters are just a prelude, and the main event is yet to come.

Chapter 109 Dugu Bo still looks down on Yu Xiaogang

That night!

The moon was like a silver plate, and the sky was filled with countless stars.

Heaven Dou City, Shrek Advanced Soul Master Academy.

Having just comforted Xiao Wu and coaxed her to sleep, Tang San returned to his room, sat cross-legged on the bed, and was about to circulate his Xuan Tian Gong to enter a meditative state.

With a creak, the window was suddenly opened, and a gust of cold wind rushed in. Tang San rolled over, jumped off the bed, and instinctively shouted, "Who is it?"

"It's me." An aged voice suddenly rang out, followed by a cold, icy hand patting his shoulder. Tang San couldn't help but shudder, turning around and nearly jumping in fright. "Old Poisoner, it's you! What? Did you find that Tang Ritian?"

Dugu Bo didn't answer directly, but sat down on the bed. "I have good news and bad news, which would you like to hear first?"

"Stop keeping me in suspense." Tang San rolled his eyes, walked to the bedside table, and poured Dugu Bo a glass of water.

Dugu Bo said somewhat helplessly, "The good news is that three days ago, that blue-haired pretty boy did indeed appear in Tiandou City, which caused quite a stir and attracted the attention of countless girls in the city. Goodness, some noble ladies even spontaneously organized some kind of 'Sun God Social Club' in order to find him."

"And what's the bad news?" Tang San frowned.

"The bad news is that the pretty boy hasn't appeared since then, as if he's vanished into thin air. I even asked Prince Xuexing about the city gate guards, and they said they'd never seen a blue-haired boy leave Tiandou City. Maybe he disguised himself like we did last time," Dugu Bo said with a self-deprecating smile as he took the teacup.

"Damn it." Tang San punched the wall, cracking it, and his hand swelled up instantly.

"Are you really that concerned about those unknown herbs?" Dugu Bo glanced at Tang San's swollen fist, a hint of suspicion flashing in his eyes.

"No, it's because I hate him for framing my teacher." Tang San naturally couldn't tell Dugu Bo his true intentions, otherwise, even if the immortal herb was found, he would definitely not get a share.

"I didn't realize you were so loyal, lad. That's something that makes me look at you differently." Dugu Bo sighed softly. "I've thought about it carefully, and perhaps he really was just passing by. After all, according to Flander, that kid is only thirteen or fourteen years old. Even if he's a genius, he's at most a Soul Venerable. My poison array would be incredibly difficult for even a Soul Saint to break into. So, your teacher's guess is completely unreliable."

"There's one more thing. To be honest, I have some doubts about whether you've chosen the right teacher. I can't guarantee whether he has real talent or not, but his character... well, it's really not that great."

"I will not allow you to dishonor my teacher." Tang San frowned, a cold glint flashing in his eyes. In his heart, his teacher was great, trustworthy, and worthy of the title of master. Otherwise, how could he have cultivated his useless martial soul, Blue Silver Grass, into a powerful control-type martial soul?

"Do as you please." Dugu Bo put down his teacup. "Have you thought through your last condition? If not, then take your time. I should be going now. Also, when do you plan to give me the remaining medicinal ingredients?"

Tang San pondered for a moment and said, "The environment of your herb garden is very suitable for cultivating plant-type martial souls. I will be cultivating there for a while. You have enough medicinal ingredients for half a month. I will go to Sunset Forest to find you before the medicinal ingredients are used up."

"Then I'll wait for you in Sunset Forest." Without much hesitation, Dugu Bo leaped out of the window.

Tang San walked to the window, gazing at the spot where Dugu Bo had disappeared. His eyes flashed with murderous intent. In his entire life, aside from Lan Si, he had never felt such a strong urge to kill anyone. This Dugu Bo not only failed to retrieve the immortal herb that rightfully belonged to him, but also dared to insult his teacher and beat him so badly. According to the general principles of the Xuan Tian Bao Lu, he had already met his end… He deserved to die…

But as soon as this thought crossed his mind, Tang San's rationality forced him to suppress his killing intent.

This is ultimately a world where the strong prey on the weak.

For a mere Soul Master like him to kill a Title Douluo would be incredibly difficult, unless he immediately creates the Tang Sect's number one mechanical hidden weapon, the Buddha's Fury Tang Lotus.

Besides, Dugu Bo still has great value to him at this stage. At least, he needs to be patient until Dugu Bo loses his value.

...........

The next morning, the sun was shining brightly.

Yu Xiaogang led Tang San to find everyone except Zhu Zhuqing. The six remaining members of Shrek Academy were reunited. Tang San briefly recounted his experiences over the past few days to everyone, omitting the less important parts.

"Third Brother, what did you say? That Dugu Bo came to see you again last night?" Xiao Wu, the 100,000-year-old rogue rabbit, exclaimed in shock, her face turning pale, her heart filled with lingering fear.

Tang San was still unaware of Xiao Wu's true identity and assumed that Xiao Wu was afraid of Dugu Bo's strength and poison. He quickly reassured her, "Don't worry, that old poisoner doesn't dare to do anything to us now."

"Hehe, Xiao San, I really admire you more and more. You actually managed to handle that old poisoner and even rescued the Dean and Teacher Erlong. I, Oscar, am truly impressed." Oscar chuckled and put his arm around Tang San's shoulder.

The First Evolution

Tang San smiled without saying a word, offering no further explanation. His gaze swept over the Shrek Five Monsters one by one. After a moment's thought, he suddenly said, "Old Poison's herb garden is very suitable for cultivating plant-type martial souls. Originally, I planned to cultivate there for half a year before returning, but this time, I have a gift for you. It can help you break through your current bottlenecks."

"A gift?" The Shrek Five immediately showed curiosity. Dai Mubai, in particular, whose soul power had reached level thirty-eight and was about to face the level forty bottleneck, had his eyes sparkling with excitement.

On the way back to Heaven Dou City, Tang San had already told Yu Xiaogang about consuming the immortal herb, so Yu Xiaogang was not as worried as in the original story about whether the medicine Tang San brought had any side effects.

Tang San nodded to everyone, reached into the Twenty-Four Bridges Under the Moon at his waist, took out a jade box, and handed it to Dai Mubai, saying, "Mubai, this is for you."

"What is this?" Dai Mubai was naturally curious about the item Tang San mentioned that could help him break through his bottleneck. He took the jade box with slightly rapid breathing, then opened it and saw a strange flower and grass that was as white as jade and whose leaves were shaped like parrot wings.

Strangely, for some reason, the surface of this plant was covered with countless cracks of all sizes, and in some places, a piece was even missing, as if it had been cut into hundreds or thousands of pieces and then forcibly pieced together, giving people a bizarre feeling.

Chapter 110 Six Strange Cravings for Immortal Grass

Tang San glanced at the strange flowers and plants inside the jade box, frowned, and explained, "This item is called the Vajra Jade Parrot. Although it is not a celestial item, it can still be considered a kind of celestial herb. It belongs to the lower-level celestial herb of the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum. Eating it can strengthen the body, consolidate the foundation, and promote the flow of qi through all meridians. It is second only to the Vajra Indestructible herb of the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum."

There was one more thing Tang San didn't say: that was under the condition that the immortal herb was intact. Now that the immortal herb is missing pieces, its medicinal effect is reduced to less than one-tenth. It would be good enough if it could help Dai Mubai break through to the first level of soul power.

"Second only to the Vajra Indestructible? It's that powerful?" Dai Mubai was taken aback, and then asked the questions that had been bothering him: "But Xiao San, why does this Vajra Jade Parrot have so many cracks, and it seems to be missing a part? And what is that Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum that can cultivate the Vajra Indestructible?"

"The claim of being indestructible is a bit of an exaggeration, but this immortal herb does indeed have miraculous effects. Once your soul power breaks through level thirty-nine, take it directly; it will help you break through the level forty bottleneck in a short time."

Tang San shook his head with a wry smile, pondered for a moment, and then his face suddenly darkened: "As for the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum, it was originally my first choice for you. It is a true immortal herb. Eating it will circulate your qi in your limbs, open your blood vessels, and allow you to cultivate an indestructible body. It will also greatly enhance your talent and soul power, allowing you to soar to new heights on your path to becoming a Soul Master."

“Including Rongrong, Xiao Ao, Fatty, Xiao Wu, and even myself, they all have their own suitable choices. I have also made choices for them.”

"However, all of this was ruined by a damned thief. After I finished my deal with Dugu Bo, he promised to give me the immortal herbs in the herb garden. But that damned thief actually took advantage of the fact that I was traveling with Old Poison Master and ran to the herb garden to loot it. He not only stole all the immortal herbs, but also destroyed the entire herb garden, leaving not a single intact herb behind."

"Finally, he didn't forget to lure my teacher, Dean Flander, and Teacher Liu Erlong back to the past to make them scapegoats. If my teacher and I hadn't seen through that man's scheme, I'm afraid none of the four of us would have been able to come back alive from that old poisoner."

Upon hearing this, the remaining five of the six Shrek Monsters suddenly realized what was happening, and each of them was filled with righteous indignation.

"No wonder the Dean, the Master, and Teacher Erlong all came back with injuries. It turns out a despicable thief was causing trouble. Humph, I hope that kid doesn't get caught by me, or I'll burn down his bird's nest one day."

As one of the earliest members of the Shrek Six Monsters to join Shrek Academy, and also a disciple of Dean Flander, Ma Hongjun, the Phoenix of the Brothel, immediately launched a scathing attack and was the first to issue a statement.

"Count me in! I, Evil-Eyed White Tiger Dai Mubai, will break his five limbs!" Dai Mubai also cursed loudly. Upon hearing about the medicinal effects of the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum, he suddenly felt that the immortal herb in his hand was no longer fragrant. Looking at the broken and damaged Vajra Jade Parrot in his hand, he almost had the urge to smash it on the floor.

However, he ultimately resisted the urge; even a small favor is still a favor. Being able to help him break through the level 40 bottleneck in a short time was something that couldn't be forced.

"Third Brother, Third Brother, what kind of immortal herb is suitable for me?" Compared to Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun, Ning Rongrong was not as angry as the former two. What she really cared about was what kind of immortal herb was suitable for her. According to her thinking, since immortal herbs exist, they must not be limited to Dugu Bo. With the wealth of her Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, which covers the entire continent, she might be able to find a second one.

Tang San said, "The perfect herb for you is the Qiluo Tulip, which is elegant and luxurious. Consuming it will allow you to absorb the essence of heaven and earth, and the radiance of the sun and moon. Your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda is already a treasure-type martial soul. If you have the help of the Qiluo Tulip, it will complement your martial soul. It might even... allow your martial soul to evolve."

"Evolution?" Ning Rongrong was taken aback. Her eyes were vacant, and her beautiful face could no longer maintain its original composure. She froze on the spot.

Only now did she realize what the thief Tang San had mentioned had caused her to lose.

Few people present probably knew that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was not originally called the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, but the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School. However, with the decline of martial souls, no one in the sect could awaken the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda anymore, so it was downgraded to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, with the highest level stopping at the seventy-ninth level Soul Saint.

The Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda was undoubtedly the goal of all direct disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, including her and her father Ning Fengzhi.

"Third Brother? Can you tell me what the Qiluo Tulip looks like? Please, Third Brother, this is very important to me, and even to my entire Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School." Ning Rongrong excitedly grasped Tang San's hand, which made Xiao Wu, who was standing next to Tang San, frown repeatedly, but she didn't know what to say.

Tang San was also somewhat surprised by Ning Rongrong's actions and replied, "It is possible, but the Qiluo Tulip has already been stolen by thieves. Even if I tell you, you won't be able to find it."

“It’s alright, just tell me what it looks like. I’ll ask my dad to send people to search for it later.” Ning Rongrong shook her head, then added, “Of course, the same goes for you, Third Brother, Xiao Wu, and everyone’s immortal herbs. I’ll ask my dad to keep an eye out for them too.”

Considering the prestige and financial resources of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Tang San thought for a moment, then, with nothing to lose, nodded and said seriously, "The stems and leaves are like vines, densely combed, but the top is a golden tulip."

However, he still kept something in mind, which was that he didn't tell Ning Rongrong the specific way to take it so that it would be beneficial and harmless, and maximize its effects.

Upon hearing this, Ning Rongrong quickly took out paper and pen to write it down.

"The mistress, the mistress, what about mine?"

"Me too, me too..."

When Ning Rongrong offered to help the Shrek Six Monsters find the immortal herb, Oscar, Ma Hongjun, Dai Mubai, and even Xiao Wu immediately spoke up to ask questions.

Tang San said, "Don't rush, take it one at a time."

"Mu Bai's is the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum. I won't go into the details of its medicinal effects. As its name suggests, the flower is a large chrysanthemum. The flower is purple, with fuzzy petals and no fragrance. The stamen in the center is half a foot higher than the petals. It looks perfectly integrated, as if it were made by nature."

"The immortal herb that suits Xiao Ao is called the Eight-Petaled Immortal Orchid. Its appearance is that of an eight-petaled orchid, pure white and crystal clear, giving people a sense of purity and otherworldliness. Its function is to strengthen the foundation and nourish the vital energy, remove impurities from the body, and its medicinal properties are mellow and gentle, which is enough to make up for the shortcoming of your slow cultivation speed as a food-type soul master. The medicinal effect can even last until you cultivate to level seventy."

"The herb suitable for fat people is the Phoenix Cockscomb Sunflower, which is fiery red all over with golden veins on its leaves, and the tips of its leaves resemble a rooster's comb. It can remove impurities from the phoenix flames in your body, so that your evil fire will no longer flare up."

"As for Xiao Wu, there are two kinds of immortal herbs that are very suitable for you: Narcissus Jade Skin and Bone and Lovesick Heartbreak Red. Their effects are..."

Chapter 111 Ning Rongrong, Founder of the Tang Ritian Friendship Association

The Shrek Five were stunned upon hearing this, their eyes filled with drooling. They were already imagining the scene after refining the immortal herbs that suited them. Unfortunately, fantasy is beautiful, but reality is often cruel, because those immortal herbs had already been intercepted by Lan Si.

After Ning Rongrong recorded the names and appearances of the immortal herbs, Tang San distributed two more immortal herbs, both of which were not classified as immortal and were also damaged, to Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu respectively.

As for Ma Hongjun and Oscar, Tang San, who knew about the side effects of the Thousand-Year Blood Ginseng, was still somewhat hesitant. Before level 60, the Blood Ginseng could indeed help Soul Masters increase their Soul Power and cultivation speed. However, after level 60, the difficulty of increasing Soul Power would be ten times, or even more than ten times, making progress extremely difficult. It was like gambling with today's future.

However, considering that he would be facing Lan Si's Royal Fighting Team in the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament a year and a half later, and that Ning Rongrong would be searching for immortal herbs from his father, Tang San no longer hesitated.

Three hours later, Ma Hongjun was the first to wake up from his cultivation. Because he possessed the Phoenix Flame, he could refine the medicinal power of the Blood Ginseng faster than ordinary people. He stretched lazily, then leaped high into the air, his fat pig-like body landing in Tang San's arms, who had already refined the incomplete immortal herb and was protecting everyone. He gave Tang San a big bear hug and excitedly said, "Third Brother, I've broken through to level 30!"

Tang San was filled with disgust, but he suppressed his nausea and quickly pushed Ma Hongjun away gently. He said in a kind tone, "Your original soul power had already reached level 29, and the blood ginseng I gave you is no less than 4,000 years old. Its function is not limited to this. When you obtain your third soul ring, you should be able to increase your level by one or two more."

"Thank you, Third Brother." Ma Hongjun was moved to tears, tears streaming down his plump face. He was completely unaware that he was gambling with his future, and what fate awaited him.

"Third Brother. I've also broken through level 30. I've increased my soul power by two levels, thank you." The second to awaken was Ning Rongrong. She took small, quick steps and pounced on Tang San, wrapping her arms around his neck.

I had originally intended to kiss him hard on the cheek, just like in the original story, but for some reason, I suddenly remembered Tang Ritian from that day. In the end, I didn't kiss him.
