51: Chapter 51 Bestowing Immortal Herbs
The next day, morning.
Inside Principal Feng Qingyang's office at Shenfeng Academy.
Principal Huo Chen and Principal Shui Wuyue arrived one after another with their respective juniors, and the few young people stood quietly behind their elders.
The originally spacious office appeared slightly crowded due to everyone's arrival.
"Old Man Feng," Principal Huo Chen spoke first, breaking the silence, "When are we going to see His Highness the Holy Son?"
"Since everyone is here, let's go now."
Feng Qingyang stroked his beard, his gaze sweeping over the few young people.
Hearing this, everyone's expression tightened, and they followed Feng Qingyang toward Ji Xuan's residence.
"Xiaotian, I finally know why your strength has advanced by leaps and bounds!"
On the bluestone path, Huo Wu linked arms with Feng Xiaotian and lowered her voice to say.
"Sorry, Xiao Wu, I couldn't reveal Your Highness's identity at that time."
"I'm not blaming you." Huo Wu paused, then continued, "By the way, you've spent a long time with Your Highness, is there anything we should pay attention to later?"
Feng Xiaotian laughed: "Don't worry, Your Highness is easygoing, you don't need to be overly reserved."
Although he said this to Huo Wu, he did not deliberately lower his voice, so Huo Wushuang, Shui Binger, and the others nearby also heard it clearly.
Shui Yueer even winked at Shui Binger quietly.
Shui Binger could only look helplessly at her younger sister.
Not long after, everyone arrived at the secluded courtyard where Ji Xuan lived.
Ji Xuan was sitting by a stone table drinking tea, while Gold Crocodile Douluo was hidden in the shadows.
"Greetings, Your Highness the Holy Son." The group bowed in unison.
"No need for formalities." Ji Xuan set down the teacup in his hand and slowly stood up.
"Since you are all willing to follow me, I naturally won't treat you poorly."
Ji Xuan's gaze swept over everyone, and he took out four jade boxes from his Wishful Hundred Treasure Purse and placed them on the stone table.
Shui Binger and the other three stepped forward in turn, their expressions filled with a hint of anticipation.
Ji Xuan opened the first jade box, which contained a crystalline white flower, clean and flawless like a green lotus or white lotus root.
"This is the Narcissus Jade Skin Bone. It can moisten tendons and strengthen bones, clear the Qi through the extraordinary Meridians, and increase Cultivate speed. When consuming it, only eat the petals, then suck on the stamen at the end, and use Soul Power to drive the refinement."
Ji Xuan handed it to Shui Binger.
In his spirit tool, there was only one ice-attribute Immortal Plant left, but that was prepared for Junior Martial Uncle Guangling; of the remaining Immortal Plants, this one was the most suitable for her.
"Thank you, Your Highness." Shui Binger thanked him softly, took it with both hands, and a trace of something unusual flashed deep in her beautiful eyes.
Ji Xuan nodded slightly, then opened another jade box.
Inside was an eight-petaled orchid, snow-white and crystalline throughout.
"This is the Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid. It can consolidate the foundation and Cultivate the origin, significantly increasing Cultivate speed. Just chew and swallow it directly."
Ji Xuan handed it to Shui Yueer.
Shui Yueer happily took it and giggled: "Thank you, Your Highness!"
Next, Ji Xuan opened the remaining two jade boxes.
One was a fire-red flower with petals like a burning crown, emitting a scorching aura.
The other was an entirely crimson herb, its leaves shaped like Dragon scales, with faint flames faintly flowing on the surface.
These two Immortal Plants were both high-grade fire-attribute Immortal Plants, second only to the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower, and provided a tremendous boost to fire-attribute Spirit Masters.
The Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower was naturally prepared for Junior Martial Uncle Xiongshi.
During those years in Spirit Hall, if not for his Junior Martial Uncles taking turns protecting him, he might have been secretly killed by Bibi Dong long ago.
He naturally wanted to save the best for them, giving them the chance to reach the pinnacle of the ultimate realm.
Of course, these few Immortal Plants were enough to allow Huo Wu and the others to Breakthrough to level 95 or higher in the future, significantly raising their limits.
Moreover, there would be other Opportunities in the future that could also help them significantly improve their strength.
"Huo Wu, this is the Blazing Phoenix Crown Flower. When consuming it, you need to pluck the petals one by one and hold them in your mouth to let them melt slowly."
Huo Wu took it solemnly: "Thank you, Your Highness!"
"Huo Wushuang, this is the Blazing Dragon Soul Grass." Ji Xuan handed him the last jade box, "Swallow the whole plant and use your Soul Power to guide the medicinal power to circulate through your Meridians."
Huo Wushuang took the jade box with both hands and said in a deep voice: "Thank you for your grace, Your Highness!"
"Start refining it now," Ji Xuan said indifferently.
The four looked at each other, and then they each found an empty space and sat down cross-legged.
Shui Binger took out the Immortal Plant and first glanced at Ji Xuan in the distance.
Then she withdrew her gaze, carefully plucked a petal of the Narcissus Jade Skin Bone, and gently placed it in her mouth.
The petal melted as soon as it entered her mouth, and a cool aura instantly circulated through her whole body. She hurriedly circulated her Soul Power to guide this energy to flow through her Meridians.
The others also began to refine the Immortal Plants according to the method Ji Xuan had described.
For a time, Soul Power fluctuations rose and fell in the small courtyard, with red and blue lights reflecting off each other.
Ji Xuan sat quietly by the stone table, watching the four of them.
The three principals stood behind him, their faces full of gratification and anticipation.
Half an hour later, the four of them opened their eyes one after another, all with expressions of surprise and joy.
Their Soul Power had all improved significantly, and more importantly, they all felt that their Cultivate speed had greatly increased.
"How do you feel?" Ji Xuan asked.
"My Soul Power has increased by five levels, and I am now at level 39, and I feel that my Cultivate speed is much faster than before." Shui Binger replied first.
Shui Yueer jumped up happily: "Haha, I improved by three levels and reached the level 30 Bottleneck! I feel that my Soul Power circulation is much smoother."
Huo Wu felt the surging Soul Power within her: "Your Highness, I improved by three levels and reached the level 40 Bottleneck."
Huo Wushuang was the last to stand up, his voice unable to hide his excitement: "I have also reached the level 40 Bottleneck."
Ji Xuan nodded slightly, "After you absorb your spirit rings, there should be a further slight improvement."
"There are more than three years until the Soul Master Tournament, so you must Cultivate diligently during this time."
"When the Soul Master Tournament arrives, I will give you a task." Ji Xuan smiled mysteriously.
"Yes, Your Highness!" The four replied in unison, their eyes flashing with firm determination.
"Dean Feng, I will leave the matter of the spirit rings to you."
"Yes, Your Highness." Feng Qingyang nodded in response.
Immediately, Feng Qingyang and Principal Huo Chen took Huo Wushuang, his sister, and Feng Xiaotian to take their leave, preparing for the matters of obtaining their fourth spirit rings.
Principal Shui Wuyue signaled for her two granddaughters to wait a moment and stayed until the end.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, what do you think of my sister?" Just as Principal Shui Wuyue was about to speak, Shui Yueer suddenly pulled Shui Binger forward, blinking playfully.
"Yueer, what are you doing!" Shui Binger was caught off guard by her sister's sudden move, and a trace of panic appeared on her cold, clear face.
"My sister is the most outstanding Genius in our Tianshui Academy; she is beautiful and has a good personality. Would Your Highness consider becoming my brother-in-law?"
Shui Yueer didn't care and continued to say with a giggle.
Principal Shui Wuyue did not stop her, but instead had a hint of anticipation in her eyes.
"Miss Binger is indeed outstanding." Ji Xuan chuckled upon hearing this, his gaze falling calmly on Shui Binger, lingering for a moment on her beautiful face and graceful figure.
Shui Binger felt a bit uncomfortable being watched by Ji Xuan and subconsciously looked away, her heartbeat involuntarily accelerating a little.
"However," Ji Xuan changed the subject, smiling gently, "Matters of the heart require mutual willingness, and besides, I already have a fiancée."
"Oh, my sister..." Shui Yueer still wanted to say something, but was covered by Shui Binger's hand, "Wuwuwu..."
"Your Highness, please excuse them; these two children don't know better and have disturbed you."
Seeing this, Principal Shui Wuyue knew it was time to stop, so she stepped forward to smooth things over.
Ji Xuan nodded slightly: "It's fine. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, you can come to me at any time."
Shui Binger bit her lip lightly and said in a low voice: "Thank you, Your Highness. We will take our leave now."
Immediately, Shui Binger pulled Shui Yueer and followed Principal Shui Wuyue out.
Walking out of the courtyard gate, Shui Yueer pouted and muttered: "What is this, the look His Highness just gave, it clearly meant he was a little interested in sister..."
Shui Binger didn't reply, but a strange feeling rose in her heart.
