Tang San said as he took two black iron balls from the soul guide device on his waist.
"These are secret weapons I developed, called the Mother and Son Pursuing Soul Death Balls. They are powerful. With your strength, they can withstand any enemy. How about I exchange them for some medicinal herbs?"
Looking at the two iron balls, Dugu Bo clearly didn't believe it.
"What power can these small iron balls have?!"
"I'll show you, and you'll understand."
After Tang San finished speaking, he suddenly threw the two iron balls.
The two iron balls collided with a loud "bang", and immediately, a large purple mist spread out, quickly covering an area of more than ten square meters.
Tang San then explained to Dugu Bo.
Only then did Dugu Bo understand that the purple mist contained deadly poison, and the hundreds of Bone-Piercing God Needles released after the two iron balls collided not only had strong penetration but also terrifying toxicity.
Moreover, the higher the user's soul power, the greater the power.
Dugu Bo immediately thought that if he used this secret weapon against his old rival, Yue Guan, he would no longer be afraid.
Thus, he agreed to Tang San's request.
"Little Monster, this time, you can take ten medicinal herbs you need from here, no more. As for later, if you have use for them, you can come back for more."
"Okay, I understand."
For Tang San, being able to take ten first was already good.
He planned to bring one herb for each of the other six members of Shrek.
[PS: Without fire and water dual immunity and no ten-thousand-year fourth ring, if he doesn't give them immortal herbs, then by the time of the Spirit Master Tournament, Dai Mubai would be the only Soul Ancestor, way too weak. Divine Wind, Sky Water, Blazing, Thunderclap—none of them would be beatable, making them no match for Yan. Besides, Yan entered while Yue Guan and Dugu Bo were fighting. Time was limited. It would be impossible to take away that many immortal herbs, so being able to take a few top-grade ones was already good enough.]
Tang San was very certain that the person who had previously broken into the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to steal herbs was someone deeply knowledgeable in botany. The ones they had taken were all top-tier immortal herbs.
Most of the remaining immortal herbs had not fully matured yet, and the ones that were mature were just ordinary.
As for the top-tier ones that were picked, aside from the King of Flowers, the Yearning Heartbroken Red, all the others still had their roots.
Perhaps in another ten years or so, those top-tier immortal herbs would grow again.
After half a year of getting along, Tang San had already built a good relationship with Dugu Bo, and he planned to return once those herbs had grown back.
Afterward, Dugu Bo gifted Tang San a Ruyi Hundred Treasures Pouch for storing live herbs.
Under Dugu Bo's supervision, Tang San picked ten immortal herbs.
Then, Tang San persuaded Dugu Bo to become a consultant for Shrek Academy, and the two left the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well together.
Returning to Shrek Academy, Tang San gave the immortal herbs to the other six Shrek Monsters.
After taking the herbs, each of them experienced different levels of improvement.
Dai Mubai broke through the bottleneck at Level 40.
Ma Hongjun improved by four ranks, now reaching Level 35. The immortal herb removed some impurities from the flames in his body, but they still remained evil flames.
Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing each improved by four ranks, now both at Level 35.
After taking the herb, Xiao Wu's soul power only increased by three ranks, now reaching Level 38.
Among them, Oscar experienced the greatest increase in soul power.
He had taken a plant of Eight-Petaled Immortal Orchid. Although it wasn't a top-tier immortal herb, its gentle medicinal properties made it very suitable for food-type soul masters.
His soul power rose by five ranks, jumping from Level 33 to Level 38.
While everyone was absorbing the herbs, Tang San himself took an auxiliary herb that could improve Spiritual Power. His soul power didn't increase and remained at Level 39.
At this time, there were still six months left before the Spirit Master Tournament.
Yu Xiaogang urged everyone to cultivate well and work hard to improve their strength to prepare for the upcoming Spirit Master Tournament.
Time flew by, and three months passed in the blink of an eye.
After obtaining his fourth spirit ring, Dai Mubai broke through to Level 42.
Tang San successfully broke through to Level 40 and hunted a six-thousand-year Man-Faced Demon Spider. During the absorption of the ring, his external spirit bone Eight Spider Lances also absorbed quite a bit of energy, so his soul power only increased by one rank and now stood at Level 41.
Oscar and Xiao Wu were both at Level 39, and there was hope for them to break through Level 40 before the start of the Spirit Master Tournament.
Ma Hongjun, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing, however, had no chance of reaching Level 40 within the next three months, so the three of them would be participating in the tournament as Spirit Elders.
On the other side, in Spirit City.
Hu Liena had finally broken through Level 50.
Before her, Xie Yue had already reached Level 50, but he wasn't in a rush to hunt spirit beasts and obtain his fifth spirit ring. Instead, he continued cultivating, waiting for his younger sister Hu Liena to also reach Level 50 so they could enter the Star Dou Great Forest together to hunt spirit beasts.
Even without obtaining a spirit ring, spirit power could still be cultivated, and once the ring was acquired, the accumulated cultivation would be fully displayed.
Over the past half year, Yan's spirit power had increased by two more ranks, now reaching Rank 54, still maintaining an overwhelming lead within the team.
Apart from the three of them, the other four members of the team had also made notable progress.
Sun Chuantao's spirit power had reached Rank 47, while Li Kai and Zhang Ping were both at Rank 46.
The auxiliary-type spirit master with the lowest spirit power, Xu Yu, had also reached Rank 45.
After receiving approval from the Supreme Pontiff Bibi Dong, Instructor Lin Zhendong and assistant coach Liu Can led the seven members of the Spirit Hall Academy team toward the Star Dou Great Forest.
Elders Yue Guan and Gui Mei continued to provide covert protection along the way.
The main purpose of this trip was to help Xie Yue and Hu Liena obtain their fifth spirit rings, and it would also serve as a training opportunity for everyone.
Lin Zhendong intended to leave the task of hunting spirit beasts to the seven members of the Spirit Hall team. Unless absolutely necessary, he would not intervene.
Several dozen days later, the group of nine arrived at the Star Dou Great Forest.
In the forest's outskirts, it was difficult to encounter spirit beasts above ten thousand years. After a brief rest, they began advancing toward the forest's core.
Both Xie Yue and Hu Liena were very excited, as this would be their first ten-thousand-year spirit ring.
The group of nine drew closer and closer to the heart of the forest.
Along the way, they encountered quite a few spirit beasts, but none were suitable targets. With his rich experience, Lin Zhendong cleverly avoided them all, preventing any conflict.
By dusk, the group set up tents in a relatively open area, preparing to spend the night there.
As everyone was busy preparing dinner, suddenly, a strange fluctuation of energy spread through the air.
"There's a powerful spirit beast nearby."
Lin Zhendong sensed the anomaly immediately. He quickly signaled for everyone to quiet down and looked alertly in the direction of the energy fluctuation.
"Yan, you and Xie Yue go check it out. Be cautious and don't alarm it."
"Alright."
As the team's absolute core members, Lin Zhendong trusted Yan and Xie Yue the most.
The two quietly moved toward the source of the energy fluctuation, their movements nearly silent.
As they drew closer to the source, a massive black figure gradually came into Yan's view.
That fierce spirit beast seemed to have sensed human spirit masters trying to intrude into its territory and was lying in ambush.
"It's a Ghost Tiger!"
