After a simple "division of spoils,"
Shen Hanyu learned another piece of news from Shui Bing'er and the other two girls that left him speechless.
The torso soul bone that Shui Ningbing had obtained from the Ice Armored Crocodile was actually borrowed from the vice-dean of the neighboring Kamikaze Academy...
Good heavens, from the very beginning, they had no intention of letting him get it for free...
However, Shen Hanyu merely smiled and let it pass. His situation was like that of a billionaire helping his subordinates; he still needed to show some goodwill from time to time.
After all, it wouldn't do to have only himself full while the entire village went hungry; that way, he could never win people's hearts.
In any case, he didn't lack soul bones, and in the future, he would certainly have many more to spare. His second martial soul still needed seven soul rings of over 100,000 years, which would, at minimum, yield seven soul bones of over 100,000 years, not to mention that his Hantian Spear was still missing its final ninth soul ring. Right now, the only empty spot on his body was the torso soul bone position.
Shui Ningbing was overjoyed for a long time after receiving the soul bone. She then directly gave Shui Bing'er and the other two girls a day off, postponing the previously mentioned punishment by one day. The three girls were extremely "grateful" for this.
Shen Hanyu found it amusing but didn't say much. When it came to matters between women, it was best to just watch the show; getting involved would definitely lead to losses.
Shui Ningbing didn't stay long before leaving for Skywater Academy on the grounds of being busy with affairs. From then on, this place truly became the domain of Shen Hanyu and the others.
Shen Liuyu and Shui Yue'er let out huge sighs of relief. The two restless girls once again surrounded Shen Hanyu, asking questions left and right. Shui Bing'er smiled as she watched them fool around, the joy between her brows impossible to dispel.
Shen Hanyu was somewhat dazed. In the blink of an eye, he was already considered fifteen years old, Shen Liuyu was eleven, and Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er had also grown quite a bit. Among the three girls, one could more or less already see the lively sweetness belonging to young maidens.
After a few of them chatted idly for a while, Shen Hanyu suddenly said:
"Ayu, since we're free now, go absorb the Earth Dragon Golden Melon."
Shen Liuyu let out an "oh," then playfully bantered a couple of sentences with Shui Yue'er before sitting cross-legged under the shade of a nearby tree.
Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er watched Shen Liuyu's actions with some curiosity, clearly not understanding.
Shen Liuyu took out a sealed jade box, inside which was none other than the Earth Dragon Golden Melon.
Preserving immortal herbs had always been an issue. Some immortal herbs needed to be stored in jade boxes to maximize the preservation of their medicinal power and prevent them from wilting too quickly, while others were more casual, even storing them in an urn wouldn't cause any problems.
The golden-colored melon looked exactly as vibrant as when it was unearthed, emanating a rich earth-attribute energy that made one unable to resist wanting to take a big bite.
Shen Liuyu quickly devoured the entire melon, even letting out a light burp of satisfaction before beginning to circulate her soul power to absorb the medicinal effects.
A faint earthy yellow glow slowly enveloped Shen Liuyu, and the surrounding ground began to tremble slightly, leaving Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er looking at each other in bewilderment, unsure of what to say.
...
After a while,
Unable to contain her curiosity any longer, Shui Yue'er hugged Shen Hanyu's arm and asked coquettishly:
"Brother~ What was that thing Sister Liuyu just ate?"
Shen Hanyu found it amusing and replied:
"It's an immortal herb. You can think of it as a type of medicinal herb, but its effects are quite powerful, far surpassing ordinary herbs."
Shui Yue'er let out an "oh," then asked:
"How powerful is it?"
Shen Hanyu took a sip of juice and said:
"Roughly speaking, one stalk of immortal herb, without any surprises, can create a Titled Douluo..."
As soon as these words came out, Shui Yue'er was stunned at first, then shocked as she opened her small mouth wide.
Shui Bing'er also took a deep look at Shen Liuyu, who was still absorbing, then tilted her head to look at Shen Hanyu, her gaze somewhat strange.
Shen Hanyu also noticed Shui Bing'er's odd gaze and, for some reason, felt a bit surprised—this was the first time he had seen Shui Bing'er in such a state.
"What's wrong? Do you two want some too?"
Shen Hanyu teased with a smile.
Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er nodded at the same time.
Shen Hanyu spread his hands, somewhat helplessly saying:
"Are the two young ladies planning to freeload off me again? Although I'm wealthy, I can't withstand this kind of spending..."
Shui Yue'er pouted her small mouth, then suddenly seemed to remember something and fiercely pushed Shui Bing'er forward.
Shui Bing'er, caught off guard, nearly threw herself directly into Shen Hanyu's arms. After recovering, she glared fiercely at Shui Yue'er, who was still giggling.
"Brother Yu, look, I'll give you my sister. Let her wash clothes and cook for you from now on, and in two more years, she can even give birth to a big, fat boy for you. How about it, can we trade for one of those... immortal... immortal, yes, yes, immortal herbs!"
Shen Hanyu found it funny, helped steady Shui Bing'er, and then said:
"Alright, stop saying such things. I do have some more immortal herbs, and I'm quite reassured giving them to you two, but don't tell anyone else about this. If your aunt asks, you can mention it briefly. This matter is of great importance. Right now, there are quite a few people up above searching for clues about these things."
Shui Bing'er pretended to be fierce as she pinched Shui Yue'er's cheek, then looked at Shen Hanyu somewhat embarrassedly and said:
"We've taken so many things from you; isn't that a bit inappropriate?"
Shen Hanyu tilted his head in thought, then smiled and said:
"It depends on how you see it. As long as you don't betray me out of ingratitude, that'll be fine."
Shui Bing'er rolled her eyes. Who knew what this guy was thinking in his head? How could he have no trust in others at all? If betrayal were possible, he would probably have long been sold by them until he didn't even have his underwear left.
After all, the one who could betray him the most ruthlessly was the little sister he doted on the most...
Shen Hanyu didn't say anything more. He deftly took out a gold-crafted box from the Wishful Hundred Treasure Purse sponsored by Dugu Bo.
"This is the Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid, a neutral immortal herb. Its effects are to strengthen the foundation and cultivate vitality, remove impurities, and greatly increase cultivation speed."
"Yue'er, your innate soul power is only level seven. This immortal herb is undoubtedly very suitable for you. Now, it's yours."
Shen Hanyu briefly explained the method of taking the Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid. Only then did Shui Yue'er happily thank him and joyfully run off to the side to absorb it.
Shen Hanyu then turned his gaze to Shui Bing'er, and this time, he was truly stumped.
There were indeed many unknown herbs around the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, and quite a few had reached the immortal grade sequence. Although he had brought many out, he wasn't very familiar with how to use these herbs and didn't dare risk giving them to Shui Bing'er recklessly.
After thinking it over, Shen Hanyu still took out a blue bead that resembled an inner pill, emanating a majestic dragon might. As soon as it appeared, the surrounding temperature rapidly dropped to an unbelievable level, causing even Shui Bing'er to involuntarily shiver.
Shen Hanyu examined this dragon pill from the Ice Dragon King. Although the energy within it had mostly been squeezed dry by him and the Ice God's inheritance artifact, there was still some "broth" left at the bottom. Now, this thing was no longer some heaven-defying treasure, but for an ice-attribute soul master, it was still an enormous treasure, enough to greatly increase a soul master's ice attribute strength, even allowing them to step into the realm of Ultimate Ice in one go. Thinking about it now, this thing was indeed very suitable for Shui Bing'er...
