The sound was soft, yet it was like a bomb dropped into a peaceful courtyard.
This caused all the elders around to look up and focus their gazes on Lu Cheng. Even Lang Ya, who was chatting and joking with Wei Ling'er beside him with his arms crossed, suddenly trembled and looked at Lu Cheng in astonishment.
The last time the immortal herb appeared was ten thousand years ago, when seven gods ascended to the God Realm together.
Unlike Master Yu Xiaogang, who claimed to have cultivated a god, which was purely self-aggrandizement, the Immortal Herb is genuinely qualified to say so. It can improve aptitude and cultivation, an effect that can be described as heaven-defying. Countless peak experts have deduced this over the past ten thousand years. The Shrek Seven Devils were strong, but far from being strong enough to become gods. Consuming the Immortal Herb was the most important turning point for them to embark on the ladder to godhood.
This is enough to demonstrate the miraculous herb's ability to defy fate and change one's destiny.
"My good disciple, my precious disciple...you've seen the immortal herb?!" Poison Undying's voice trembled, and he asked excitedly.
"My Blood Eyes were able to awaken a second time, not because I reached the limit of my potential, but because I consumed immortal herbs," Lu Cheng said with a light laugh.
With palm open, a crimson, delicate yet fiery lotus slowly condenses and emerges, surrounded by flames.
"This is... the immortal herb?"
The other elders all stood up and gathered around, their eyes filled with a hint of amazement.
"good."
Lu Cheng smiled.
Since they've chosen to join the Body Sect, resources will naturally be poured into it—all in! Go all in! And the fastest way to see results is naturally through the Body Sect's strongest member, Poison Undying.
As long as Du Busi consumes the immortal herb and completes his martial soul advancement, he will surely be able to easily break through the final threshold and reach the Limit Douluo realm, which is what he needs most right now.
He needs a quiet environment to help him get through this "weak" period. When he returns to his peak in the simulator, it will be the time when Shrek Academy is destroyed.
There's also the Holy Spirit Cult, settling both old and new scores together.
……
Sunset Forest.
The group stood in mid-air, looking down at the vast forest shrouded in poisonous miasma. Behind Lu Cheng, a fiery wing slowly flapped, and he hovered in mid-air at the head of the group. He looked around and nodded secretly.
It seems that the group of immortal herbs have heeded the advice. Compared to the poisonous miasma that once devoured most of the forest, its area has shrunk considerably. The Jade Phosphorous Seven Absolute Flowers can be considered immortal herbs, having existed for ten thousand years. It would be a real pity to destroy them.
"Let's go."
Lu Cheng nodded slightly, took a light step, his wings fluttered, and he plunged headfirst into the poisonous miasma below.
This scene startled Du Busi and the others, but then, the poisonous miasma around Lu Cheng seemed to come alive and swerved to the sides, clearly indicating that Jiao Jiao inside him had taken effect.
Poison Immortal and the others exchanged glances and followed suit.
"Huh? Lu Cheng, Jiao Jiao, you're back again?" Youyou asked with a hint of surprise.
“That’s right, this is my family’s… elder. Does Youyou have any suitable medicinal herbs for him?”
"Hmm... He's a Super Douluo, right? Then he can't possibly sacrifice himself. As long as it's not a 100,000-year-old immortal herb, you can take whatever you want." Youyou said with a smile. The Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye has been around for 10,000 years, so there aren't many 100,000-year-old immortal herbs, but they can still reproduce and produce seeds and seedlings.
Therefore, there are quite a few similar medicinal herbs.
"But... won't that guy in the sky be angry?" Youyou asked curiously.
"Who cares?" Jiao Jiao transformed into a girl in red, playfully teasing Youyou's enormous petals. She sat directly on the latter's two green leaves and swung like a swing. Having experienced the simulator, she knew Lu Cheng's ultimate goal: to ascend to the God Realm and kill that so-called God King.
These are the same guys who kept them here back then.
As for what Lu Cheng wants to do, she doesn't care. She will just go crazy with Lu Cheng and rush to the God Realm together. Even if they die, they will die together. Isn't that romantic?
The carefree Youyou was tickled by the teasing and laughed so hard she couldn't stand up straight, and the flower stem bent over.
"This is... the immortal herb?"
The elders, including Du Bu Si, were extremely cautious, their eyes gleaming with excitement.
"The eight-petaled fairy orchid... is more suitable for the Third Elder. Its medicinal properties are mild and mellow, and it has the effect of strengthening the body's foundation and removing impurities from the body."
"The Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum is a neutral celestial herb. Consuming it allows one to circulate qi throughout the limbs and unblock the eight meridians, thus cultivating an indestructible body. It is suitable for the teacher's martial spirit body."
"..."
There were seven people in total on this trip. Apart from Du Bu Si, the other six senior elders were all present. Lu Cheng did not hesitate at all, as these were his biggest trump cards for the future, so each of them received a fairy herb.
As for Ning Tian, Wang Dong'er, and the others' immortal herbs, he will bring them back as well.
The Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eyes are now far more abundant than they were ten thousand years ago. The variety and quantity of immortal herbs are so great that even Tang San is reluctant to let go and must hold onto them tightly.
Since that's the case, we must fleece Tang San as much as possible.
Lu Cheng squeezed Youyou dry.
They took away nearly thirty immortal herbs that did not have a set age.
The elders of the Body Sect were all eager to try. The moment they obtained the immortal herbs, they began to consume and absorb them as Lu Cheng had instructed. Waves of soul power, some violent and some gentle, surged continuously inside the valley. The cocoon of light enveloped them, waiting for them to transform into butterflies.
"I've been completely drained (sad)..."
She said sadly in a low voice.
"Over the past ten thousand years, you have plundered almost all the seed flowers that we, the great flowers, have produced. It will take at least another ten thousand years for the same number of seed flowers to be produced again."
It's not that there aren't any other miraculous herbs.
However, it's important to know that there are differences among different kinds of medicinal herbs.
Herbs like this, Jiao Jiao, and Star Anise are all first-tier immortal herbs, and their amplification effect on the human body is nothing short of miraculous. The other immortal herbs are far less precious and have lower medicinal effects than first-tier herbs. Therefore, they are just some spiritual plants that have been nourished by the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well to make up the numbers.
Now, after a thorough search, Lu Cheng has practically taken all the top-grade immortal herbs that have been produced over the past ten thousand years.
"Ha ha……"
Lu Cheng smiled without saying a word.
What is this? His ultimate goal is the two dragon bones of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings beneath the Yin-Yang Well. However, even if he digs them out, he cannot swallow them for the time being, so he has not made a fuss.
Moreover, this area is Tang Jia San Shao's "back garden". After he completely broke up with Yan Shao Zhe in this competition, Tang San of the God Realm probably wouldn't just stand by and watch, and would take action against him. Since that's the case, he will take the initiative and plunder his back garden.
Not to mention, the second simulation should also be put on the agenda.
After Du Bu Si and the others have finished absorbing the immortal herbs, I will have the confidence to conduct simulations at the Body Sect.
Before Lu Cheng could ponder, a series of whooshing sounds followed one after another.
First, the Sixth Elder, whose cultivation was the lowest but who was still a level 95 Super Douluo, emerged from his cocoon, his body radiating a faint golden glow. He exclaimed excitedly, "Gold Rank! My true form has actually advanced to the Gold Rank after my second awakening!"
His soul power cultivation also increased by about one level.
Subsequently, the other five elders also emerged from their cocoons one after another.
All soul power increased by one level.
Thus, there are three at level 96, two at level 97, and one at level 98. Not to mention that their physical awakening has advanced from the original silver rank to the current gold rank, and their combat power has soared to a terrifying level. Moreover, the immortal herb improves a person's overall aptitude, not just one level of soul power.
In other words, almost all six of them now have the potential to reach the summit of that continent.
The bottleneck, which had been almost solidified, has cracked again, seemingly within reach.
The six people were naturally even more pleased with Lu Cheng's attitude, as if everything the "Holy Son" said was right and they would follow his lead without question.
The final, undead poison breakthrough also triggered a strange phenomenon in the heavens and earth.
"Om..."
As the large swath of dark green clouds dissipated, the burly body of Poison Undying slowly emerged. With a light step, he appeared in front of Lu Cheng, displaying the majesty of a Limit Douluo. Even though he had only recently advanced to the Limit, his combat power was in no way inferior to that of Long Xiaoyao, who had been at the Limit for a hundred years.
Because while consuming the immortal herb, he also evolved his own martial soul.
Behind him, his black robe billowed and fluttered in the wind. Poisonous Immortal, his face filled with fervor, exhaled a deep breath and patted Lu Cheng on the shoulder: "Child, from now on you will be the Sect Master of the Body Sect."
Lu Cheng: "..."
The six senior elders: "..."
As expected of someone who can't be killed by poison, he's incredibly kind and generous, giving away an entire sect without hesitation.
But Lu Cheng smiled and shook his head, politely declining, "Teacher, let's talk about this after I advance to the next level. It's too early now."
"Alright." Poison Undying was a little regretful. He clenched his fist, felt the surging soul power throughout his body like a vast ocean, and suddenly threw a punch forward.
The mountain collapsed, and the earth trembled.
It was as if an earth dragon was surging.
"Pah, pah, pah! Have you all gone mad?" Youyou swayed her body angrily, "Taking the immortal herb is one thing, but you also want to destroy this?"
"Hahahaha..." Poison Undying's face was a little embarrassed, but his expression was still excited: "If I encounter Xuanzi again now, I can crush him with one finger."
Lu Cheng shook his head helplessly.
That's a bit too unambitious.
He should at least be comparable to veterans like Long Xiaoyao and Kong Deming, who possess unparalleled combat prowess. A mere Xuanzi...
"Let's go back to the sect."
Lu Cheng said calmly.
He also left Youyou a soul-guided communicator. If she encounters "danger," she can press the button. The Body Sect is quite close to Sunset Forest, and he will send someone to help her.
As for the "danger" it refers to, it naturally refers only to the forces of Tang San, the Sea God.
He took all the Immortal Herbs; there's no guarantee those guys won't get angry.
……
Return to the sect.
The entire Shrek team, except for Ma Xiaotao who had already obtained a fairy herb, each had one.
Including Xiao Xiao and Ling Luochen.
The former was so moved that the little girl rushed into Lu Cheng's arms and rubbed against him, tears and snot streaming down her face, soaking Lu Cheng's clothes. However, he just smiled and rubbed her head.
The fact that this immortal herb could choose to follow him steadfastly despite Yan Shaozhe's threats and inducements shows that it was worth it.
Ling Luochen was clearly surprised, after all, this was one of only two things she might have that allowed her to possess the ultimate ice attribute. Lu Cheng gave away such a precious opportunity without hesitation.
Confused and shocked, she shyly kissed Lu Cheng after receiving it, then left to absorb it.
Jiang Nannan and Tang Ya, the two sisters, both accepted the offer with smiles.
Lu Cheng also promised to take Tang Ya to Tiandou City to pay respects to his parents in "a few days".
As for Ning Tian, he looked completely dazed.
