"This is a medicinal herb to strengthen the body. Consume it first."
Zhu Zhuqing didn't suspect anything and swallowed the immortal herb.
Soon, the enormous medicinal power of the immortal herb spread through Zhu Zhuqing's body. Zhu Zhuqing was startled and hurriedly focused her mind and spirit, concentrating on refining the herb's medicinal power.
Meng Bei took the opportunity to help Zhu Zhuqing refine the immortal herb with his stick.
After a long while, the immortal herb was mostly refined.
Meng Bei then took out the 100,000-year Titan Snow Demon King spirit bone and had Zhu Zhuqing absorb it with the help of the immortal herb's medicinal power.
During this period, the Titan Snow Demon King's powerful spirit power continuously impacted Zhu Zhuqing's frail body, making the spirit bone absorption process extremely difficult.
Fortunately, Meng Bei held Zhu Zhuqing and did his utmost to help her refine the spirit power in her body.
With Meng Bei's tireless assistance, finally, after one night passed, Zhu Zhuqing completely absorbed the 100,000-year spirit bone.
The following days continued with the preliminary tournament.
During this time, Meng Bei took Zhu Zhuqing to Sunset Forest.
On one hand, it was to hunt spirit beasts for Zhu Zhuqing.
On the other hand, it was also to see Dugu Yan.
Dugu Yan had now passed the danger period.
Therefore, when they met, the two naturally were like newlyweds after a long separation and immediately became entangled with each other.
Afterward, Meng Bei handed the 100,000-year Golden Holy Dragon spirit bone to Dugu Yan.
This spirit bone was rewarded to him by the system.
The reward also specifically noted that this spirit bone could allow an incompletely evolved Golden Holy Dragon spirit to complete its evolution.
Therefore, it was quite obvious that this spirit bone wasn't suitable for Meng Bei.
Because neither of Meng Bei's two spirits had any relation to the Golden Holy Dragon.
So who should this spirit bone be given to?
Surely not to the Grandmaster.
After thinking it over, Meng Bei discovered that the only people related to dragons were Liu Erlong and Dugu Yan.
Liu Erlong had already been helped by him to consume two immortal herbs, and her Fire Dragon spirit had already completed its evolution, becoming Ultimate Fire. The strength of her spirit wasn't necessarily much weaker than the Golden Holy Dragon, so if this spirit bone was also given to Liu Erlong, it would be somewhat wasteful.
So the choice was left only with Dugu Yan.
As it happened, although Dugu Yan's Jade Phosphorus Snake spirit was powerful, it couldn't be considered supremely strong.
If Dugu Bo's Jade Phosphorus Snake Emperor could squeeze into the ranks of top-tier spirits, then Dugu Yan's Jade Phosphorus Snake spirit was still a bit short of the top tier.
So Meng Bei happened to bring the 100,000-year Golden Holy Dragon spirit bone to help Dugu Yan complete her spirit evolution.
As the spirit bone began to be absorbed, the power from the Golden Holy Dragon began changing Dugu Yan's body.
Dugu Yan's Jade Phosphorus Snake spirit emerged. Under the transformation of the Golden Holy Dragon head spirit bone, the head of the Jade Phosphorus Snake spirit began growing two golden dragon horns. The Jade Phosphorus Snake's eyes also began transforming toward golden. In the depths of its eyes, threads of golden thunder were contained!
Soon, two pairs of golden dragon horns grew on the Jade Phosphorus Snake spirit's head. Following this, dragon fins also grew on the back of the Jade Phosphorus Snake spirit, and two four-clawed dragon claws grew from the front of the Jade Phosphorus Snake spirit's body!
The Jade Phosphorus Snake spirit was about to transform into a dragon!
However, the power was still slightly lacking.
Perhaps because the spirit didn't completely match, in the final stage, although the Jade Phosphorus Snake spirit's dragon horns, dragon fins, dragon scales, and two dragon claws had all manifested, only the remaining two hind claws failed to manifest due to insufficient power.
Ultimately, the Jade Phosphorus Snake spirit's dragon transformation was only half complete.
However, even so, the威势 (prestige/aura) displayed by its spirit was extremely formidable. Observing its aura, it wasn't far from a god-level spirit.
After accompanying Dugu Yan for a few days, Meng Bei brought Zhu Zhuqing back to Heaven Dou City.
Shrek Academy's battles went very smoothly. Almost no one could withstand a single exchange from Tang San or Dai Mubai.
Additionally, worth mentioning was that Dai Mubai seemed to have triggered some strange attribute - every few days he would intentionally or unintentionally create opportunities for himself and Zhu Zhuqing to be alone.
Dai Mubai was also responsible for closing the door.
Once again, after Dai Mubai finished competing and was cultivating in the rest room, suddenly his expression became irritable.
"It ended, the boost ended again!"
Dai Mubai's eyes were filled with bloodshot veins.
After enjoying double or even triple cultivation speed boosts, the originally normal cultivation speed became increasingly unacceptable.
It wasn't that Dai Mubai hadn't tried purchasing other items to give to Fatty and others, but although that could also provide cultivation speed boosts, the boosts were pitifully small. Only the items most precious to him could obtain more boosts.
Through testing, Dai Mubai discovered that the items most precious in his heart were the imperial throne and fiefs. He had once promised Meng Bei a fief - that was the time with the most boost, reaching nearly five or six times the cultivation speed.
But fiefs were too precious with limited quantity. How could Dai Mubai bear to part with them?
Second only to fiefs was... Zhu Zhuqing.
"No, no, Zhuqing, where is Zhuqing?"
Soon, Dai Mubai found Zhu Zhuqing, then using some excuse, brought Zhu Zhuqing to find Meng Bei, ostensibly to discuss the issue of imperial succession.
Regarding the matter of the Star Luo Empire's imperial succession, Zhu Zhuqing naturally felt duty-bound and went with Dai Mubai to find Meng Bei.
All of this happened to be accidentally seen by Tang San.
Tang San became curious and followed.
He discovered Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing entering Meng Bei's room.
Then after a period of time, not knowing what excuse Dai Mubai used, he carefully walked out of Meng Bei's room alone.
After coming out, he didn't forget to carefully close the door.
Then Tang San saw Dai Mubai leaning against the wall, crying and laughing, with an extremely strange expression.
Combining the fact that Zhu Zhuqing was still inside, along with his own experience with the immortal herb's effects.
An astonishing speculation arose in Tang San's heart.
"Could it be... no, it can't be!"
After returning, Tang San couldn't sleep for a long time, his eyes flashing, not knowing what he was thinking.
"If Xiao Wu... no! Xiao Wu is my most important... but..."
If it were a normal situation, Tang San definitely wouldn't let his thoughts run wild.
But under the influence of the peerless immortal herb, Tang San couldn't help but start comparing himself with Dai Mubai. Once this thought arose, it couldn't be stopped at all.
The Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament continued in full swing.
Among them, the invincible Shrek Academy naturally gained limitless fame during this period.
What was even more shocking was that the dean of this newly established academy was none other than Meng Bei - previously famous across the continent as the number one genius, whose strength could rival Title Douluos!
This made people sigh that heroes emerge young.
Additionally, the old emperor of Heaven Dou Empire hadn't appeared for a long time. Now governmental affairs had been completely handed over to Crown Prince Xue Qinghe.
On the other side, for some unknown reason, Ning Fengzhi, the sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan, also hadn't appeared for a long time. All sect matters had been handed over to his son-in-law Meng Bei.
This couldn't help but give many people an illusion - it seemed like the era of young people was about to arrive.
Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family.
Outer town.
Several mysterious Spirit Masters wearing wide robes gathered in a quiet, deserted place.
"Are the baits all prepared?"
The speaker's voice was relatively young and magnetic.
"Rest assured, everything is ready."
The respondent's voice was somewhat hoarse.
"Are you confident?"
"Hehe, regarding my second uncle, no one understands his greed better than I do!"
Speaking, the respondent poured a cup of tea and drank it in one gulp after raising his head.
Looking at his appearance, it was the Grandmaster!
