40: Chapter 40 reveals Qin Feng's diary, filled with countless immortal herbs, making all the women envious!

Speaking of this, a mischievous smile from Qin Feng flashed in Dugu Yan's mind, causing her heart to fill with shame and annoyance again.

His alchemy skills were impressive, but his methods of bullying people were even more formidable.

Recalling the so-called 'special cultivation method' in the teachers' dormitory just now, Dugu Yan felt her legs go a little weak.

Ye Lingling did not notice Dugu Yan's strangeness; all her attention was focused on that magical 'elixir'.

"A liquid elixir... it can also cleanse the marrow and increase Soul Power."

Ye Lingling looked down at her palm, then raised her head, an undisguised envy surfacing in her eyes.

"Yan Zi, you are truly lucky."

"This elixir not only cured your poison, but I see your Soul Power has increased by at least two levels, right?"

"Moreover... your current physical condition panel is so much better than before."

For girls, an increase in strength is certainly important, but a transformation in appearance is an even more fatal temptation.

The current Dugu Yan was like a fully bloomed, enchanting poisonous flower; the charm radiating from within made even Ye Lingling, a fellow woman, feel a stir of desire.

Hearing this, Dugu Yan's face turned even redder.

A good panel condition? That was certainly 'nourished' well.

But she wouldn't dare say such a thing to Ye Lingling even if she were beaten to death.

"It's... it's alright, I guess."

Dugu Yan replied hesitantly, only wanting to end the topic quickly. "Perhaps it's just the effect after detoxification."

Ye Lingling, however, took it as truth. A rare hint of longing appeared on her usually cold face.

"If only I could also consume this kind of elixir refined by Qin Feng."

"Although my Nine Heart Begonia has strong healing capabilities, it doesn't offer much auxiliary benefit to my own cultivation."

"If I could have the assistance of such a miraculous elixir..."

Ye Lingling looked at Dugu Yan, her tone sincere. "Yan Zi, next time... could you ask Qin Feng for one of these elixirs for me too?"

"I am willing to pay some price for it."

Hearing this, Dugu Yan almost choked on her own saliva.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

She stared wide-eyed at the earnest Ye Lingling.

Ask for one? And be willing to pay a price?

Do you even know what that 'elixir' is before daring to consume it randomly!

How could such a thing be casually given to others!

Dugu Yan felt both annoyed and amused internally, yet she couldn't explain. She could only brace herself and say:

"That... Ling Ling, refining this elixir is not easy."

"Qin Feng said the medicinal ingredients are extremely rare, something that can only be encountered by chance."

"Moreover... moreover, the medicinal properties are potent. Only someone with a special physique like mine can endure it. You... your body is delicate; I'm afraid you couldn't handle it."

Dugu Yan became more and more guilty as she spoke, glancing around nervously.

If Qin Feng found out she was spouting nonsense here, who knew how he might torment her next time.

Ye Lingling's eyes dimmed slightly upon hearing this.

"Is that so..."

"It makes sense. An elixir that can change one's destiny must be extremely precious."

"Are the drops on your lips... considered wasted?"

Ye Lingling glanced again at the corner of Dugu Yan's mouth that she had just wiped, feeling even more regretful.

Such a precious medicinal liquid was just hanging by her mouth instead of being consumed—it was truly a waste of nature's bounty.

Dugu Yan felt her face was about to burn through.

She abruptly stood up, grabbed the water cup on the table, and gulped down a large mouthful of cold water.

"Uh, Ling Ling, I'm tired, I'm going to sleep now!"

"After being tossed around all day, my bones are about to fall apart."

With that, Dugu Yan didn't wait for Ye Lingling's reply, directly lifted the covers, and burrowed in, curling into a ball with her back to Ye Lingling.

Her heart pounded like thunder.

Ye Lingling looked at Dugu Yan's retreating figure, which held a strong sense of 'fleeing in disarray,' and pondered thoughtfully.

"It seems the detoxification process was truly agonizing."

"Even someone as strong as Yan Zi is exhausted to this extent."

"Qin Feng..."

Ye Lingling silently registered this name in her heart.

A man who could earn the approval of the Poison Douluo, refine such a divine medicine, and even make the proud Dugu Yan display the demeanor of a young girl.

What kind of magic did this man possess?

... The next morning.

The Heaven Dou Royal Academy was bathed in the golden morning sun.

The air here was exceptionally fresh. In the distance, mountains undulated, shrouded in mist and clouds—truly worthy of being the academy established by the royal family, occupying the best auspicious location outside Heaven Dou City.

Teachers' dormitory area.

Qin Feng pushed open his door and walked out.

He took a deep breath of the cool morning air, feeling every pore on his body expand. He felt refreshed and invigorated.

What did it mean to feel spirited when happy? This was it.

He had intercepted Tang San's Immortal Plant, subdued the Poison Douluo as a powerful bodyguard, and managed to capture Dugu Yan, the thorny rose.

This trip to the Sunset Forest had been an absolute windfall.

Qin Feng stretched his limbs, his internal Soul Power surging, emitting muffled rumbles like thunder.

After the 'special cultivation' last night, combined with the absorption of the residual medicinal power from the Immortal Plant, although his Soul Power hadn't directly broken through a level, it had become more condensed and substantial.

Especially the physical enhancement brought by the hundred thousand year spirit bone, which now made him feel like he could kill a ten thousand year Spirit Beast with one punch.

"System, update the diary."

Qin Feng walked towards the academy cafeteria while summoning the black diary in his mind.

This was the foundation of his survival.

[Awesome!]

[This is the life a Transmigrator should have.]

[What phony Tang San, what Son of Destiny? They are all rookies in front of me.]

[The Immortal Plants from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well are truly excellent. Last night I gave that little girl Dugu Yan some 'good stuff,' tsk tsk, that feeling...]

[This girl looks fierce, but her body is actually very soft; she's just stubborn.]

[But speaking of which, that old man Dugu Bo is quite savvy; he directly sold his granddaughter.]

[With these Immortal Plants, not only I, but the girls around me can take off too.]

[That girl Zhu Zhuqing has been cultivating too hard recently. I must save a Narcissus Jade Bone for her. It can not only improve her aptitude but also make her skin smoother... Hehe.]

[And Ning Rongrong, the Tulip of Sorrow is practically tailor-made for her. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda will become the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. Ning Fengzhi, that old fox, will probably kneel and beg me to be his son-in-law.]

[As for Xiao Wu... forget it, she's just a rabbit; giving her a carrot will suffice.]

[I still have my wife Qian Renxue. Even though she's currently wearing Xue Qinghe's fake face, I specifically saved the best Lovesick Heartbreak Red for her.]

[As long as she calls me 'Good Brother,' this flower will be hers.]

[...]

Qin Feng calculated contentedly in his heart.

He did not know what kind of spectacular expressions the women across the Douluo Continent who possessed a copy of the diary were currently wearing as his inner monologue was being recorded.
