Hearing this, Xu Yunxiao secretly glared at Xu Tianyang; he actually snuck out on his own, which was truly too presumptuous.
His son had grown up, had his own secrets, and being able to leave Ming City silently was a testament to Xu Tianyang's ability.
With such strength as his foundation, as a father, he felt much more at ease.
Mu Mengyu clearly understood the implications and looked at Xu Tianyang with a pained expression.
"This is truly wonderful. After Yang Wudi refines the elixirs, we must carefully consider who should use these items. If those old fellows find out, it will likely cause quite a stir," Xu Yunxiao said, his heart filled with joy but his face showing a hint of worry.
There were only a few elixirs, and it was impossible to satisfy the needs of every family. This was the hope of breaking through to Titled Douluo; who could easily give it up?
Even if Xu Yunxiao had undeniable prestige, he would likely still have to go through some trouble.
"Then that will be a headache for you, Father," Xu Tianyang said with a mischievous smile. He couldn't be bothered to get involved in this matter; he would leave it to his father and mother to worry about.
"This truly is a happy problem," Xu Yunxiao said, shaking his head and chuckling.
There were only a few Immortal Herbs, and their benefits would be maximized by giving them to the new generation of geniuses. Lesser herbs, such as the nine-grade purple ganoderma, when mixed with other rare medicinal ingredients and refined into elixirs, would have enough medicinal power to allow Spirit Masters at eighty-nine ranks to break through.
Xu Yunxiao, carrying the medicinal ingredients Xu Tianyang had given him, left with Mu Mengyu and Feng Tianxiang. They were going to deliver the Youxiang Qiluo Immortal Herb they had promised Yang Wudi and refine the other medicinal ingredients into elixirs. This was the guarantee for the future Titled Douluo of the Sun Moon Empire.
Meanwhile, Xu Tianyang called over Zui Hongchen and Huang Xiuwen, intending to distribute Immortal Herbs to his core team.
"Boss, I heard you went into seclusion to break through," Zui Hongchen exclaimed happily as soon as he saw Xu Tianyang, his chubby face beaming with smiles.
"Fatty, you've gotten much fatter again. If you keep getting fatter, no girls will like you," Xu Tianyang said, a smile spreading across his face as he saw his old friend. He chuckled and patted Zui Hongchen's belly.
"Hmph!" Zui Hongchen snorted coldly, "Can't they appreciate this young master?
This young master doesn't appreciate them either! What are women compared to mechas?"
Zui Hongchen's talent in Soul Engineering was exceptionally high. Although he only had twenty-nine ranks of spirit power, he was already a certified third-rank Soul Engineer by Mingde Hall, and had even successfully passed the theoretical examination for a fourth-rank Soul Engineer. As long as his spirit power met the requirements, he could automatically advance to a fourth-rank Soul Engineer.
He was also specially approved to join Mingde Hall for further study. Ever since he witnessed mechas, he had become deeply fascinated by them. Mechas were what men should play with; previous spirit tools were all too weak.
Since entering Mingde Hall, he had been following Elder Chen in researching mecha modifications.
Fine, given Zui Hongchen's future status, he wouldn't lack women. Xu Tianyang rubbed his temples and didn't bother with him, turning to Huang Xiuwen beside him and speaking softly.
"Xiuwen, are you still accustomed to being in the Imperial Guards?"
Unlike Zui Hongchen, who specialized in spirit tools, Huang Xiuwen focused more on spirit power cultivation. Relying on his family's status, he also obtained a hundred-thousand-year whale gum.
This allowed him to break through to Spirit Elder before Zui Hongchen, and he now had thirty-two ranks of spirit power.
Moreover, after breaking through to Spirit Elder, he was assigned to the Imperial Guards in the palace, beginning his experience with dual identities as a student and a soldier.
The Xie Jun Soul Guidance Group, which specialized in assault and speed, was very suitable for Huang Xiuwen's Spirit. Xu Tianyang also hoped that he could become the successor of the Xie Jun Soul Guidance Group in the future.
"Your Highness, everything is well in the army, and it has given Xiuwen much insight." After joining the army, Huang Xiuwen became more serious, and his demeanor towards Xu Tianyang was no longer as casual as it had been in his youth.
Nodding, Xu Tianyang did not correct the change in his attitude. He valued this personality greatly, just like Feng Tianxiang—loyal, dutiful, and measured in his actions, which put people greatly at ease.
"I called you here today because I obtained a few Immortal Herbs, and I plan to give one to each of you."
"What are Immortal Herbs?" Zui Hongchen asked, looking at Xu Tianyang in confusion. They knew about medicinal herbs, and they had eaten the elixirs refined from them, but could any herb truly live up to the name "Immortal Herb"?
Xu Nianshuang and the other two also cast curious glances.
Under their gazes, Xu Tianyang reached into his spirit tool with his right hand, took out a Marvelous Chrysanthemum, and handed it to Zui Hongchen.
"This is the Marvelous Chrysanthemum. Consuming it will circulate qi through your limbs, clear your eight meridians, and allow you to cultivate an indestructible body."
"That powerful? Then this young master will be invincible!" Zui Hongchen exclaimed in surprise, looking at the unique chrysanthemum in his hand. The chrysanthemum was a magnificent purple, and the central stamen was about half a foot taller than the petals, its tip shimmering with a faint golden light.
"That's an exaggeration, but it can indeed make your cultivation twice as effective with half the effort," Xu Tianyang said, patting him and instructing, "First, eat the heavenly stamen, then eat the petals one by one. Do not eat the roots and stems. After eating, immediately begin cultivating on the spot to dissolve the medicinal power and break through your bottleneck."
"Thank you, Boss!" Zui Hongchen looked at Xu Tianyang with gratitude and immediately went to the side to consume the Immortal Herb.
Then Xu Tianyang turned to Huang Xiuwen, "Xiuwen, I don't have an Immortal Herb that is perfectly suited for you, but this herb will help you no less than a top-tier Immortal Herb."
As he spoke, Xu Tianyang took out an herb with dark red leaves, veins gnarled like blood vessels, a surface covered in dragon-scale-like patterns, and an overall scorching aura.
Meeting their puzzled gazes, Xu Tianyang explained, "This is Dragon Blood Grass. After consumption, it can increase your vital energy and physical strength. Your Spirit is the Purple Lightning Winged Dragon, and consuming it might even stimulate your bloodline to evolve."
To be honest, Xu Tianyang hadn't expected the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to also have Dragon Blood Grass. The Dragon Blood Grass, born after the demise of the Water and Fire Dragon Kings, would likely have effects no less than an Immortal Herb.
As for the side effects of the Dragon Blood Grass, they had long been cleared by Electrolux. The mere residual will of the dragon soul was easily dealt with!
"Thank you, Your Highness!" Even Huang Xiuwen, as composed as he usually was, trembled with excitement at this moment.
Patting Huang Xiuwen's shoulder, no more words were needed. The latter nodded solemnly and went to the side to consume the Dragon Blood Grass and begin cultivating.
Finally, Xu Tianyang looked at the two remaining girls, feeling a bit of a headache.
The most suitable for Xu Nianshuang was undoubtedly the ice sky snow lotus from the Far North, but unfortunately, with the Snow Empress there, he had no way to obtain it.
As for Yang Yiyi, the Blue Silver Emperor from the Valley of Life was the most appropriate.
Ultimately, Xu Tianyang took out a Water Immortal Jade Muscle Bone and handed it to Xu Nianshuang, saying, "When consuming it, only eat the petals, then suck on the stamen, and refine it with your spirit power. Remember, you must be calm and collected to absorb its essence."
"Okay." There was no need for many words between them. Xu Nianshuang didn't even ask if it was an Immortal Herb; she trusted him completely.
