Chapter 80 The Immortal Herb Undergoes a Transformation, Aiming for the Snow Emperor's Embryo
Three days later, the carriage stopped in front of the White Tiger Duke's Mansion in the capital of the Star Luo Empire.
Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu were engaged long ago, and Zhu Lu also has her own private courtyard here.
As soon as the two entered the mansion, they went directly to the main hall to pay their respects to the Duchess.
Dai Huabin's mother, Zhu Ying, came from the Star Luo Zhu family. She was a well-maintained and elegant noblewoman.
She dotes on her youngest son the most and is extremely satisfied with Zhu Lu, her future daughter-in-law.
In the main hall, Zhu Ying held Zhu Lu's hand and asked her about her well-being for a while, then turned her gaze to Bing Di, who was following behind.
Bing Di was still wearing that white skirt and jacket with green trim, paired with dark green pigtails and an exquisitely beautiful face. No matter how you looked at it, she was an adorable little girl.
Zhu Ying's eyes lit up immediately.
"Hua Bin."
Zhu Ying smiled and pulled Dai Huabin aside, lowering her voice to ask,
"Whose daughter is this? She's so pretty."
"You used to ignore all girls except Lulu, and I worried you were too cold-hearted. Now it seems you've finally seen the light. So, are you planning to take her into your household?"
Dai Huabin's lips twitched as he listened.
He turned his head and glanced at Bing Di, who was examining the furnishings in the main hall, and chuckled to himself.
Mother is treating Bing Di like a child bride he brought back.
However, he didn't intend to explain.
After all, he was determined to win Bing Di!
"Mother, this is Bing'er, a friend I brought back to stay temporarily," Dai Huabin said perfunctorily, going along with his mother's words.
Zhu Ying gave an "I understand" look, walked over, and warmly took Bing Di's hand:
"Bing'er, right? You're so pretty. Make yourself at home here, and just tell your aunt if you need anything."
Bing Di was stunned by this sudden enthusiasm.
When has she, one of the Three Heavenly Kings of the Far North, ever had her hand squeezed like this by a human?
But out of respect for Dai Huabin, she could only force a smile:
"Thank you, Auntie."
After dealing with his mother, Dai Huabin took Zhu Lu and Bing Di back to his private courtyard.
"Bing Di, pick a guest room to rest in," Dai Huabin instructed, then pulled Zhu Lu directly into the private underground training room.
As soon as the door to the cultivation room closed, Zhu Lu asked impatiently:
"Hua Bin, what is the gift you mentioned?"
Dai Huabin didn't keep them in suspense. With a thought, he took out an exquisite jade box from the Plane of the Dead.
The moment the jade box was opened, a delicate and elegant fragrance filled the entire secret room.
Inside the box lay a white, crystalline plant, looking as spotless as a lotus root, with each leaf exuding a jade-like warmth.
"This is…" Although Zhu Lu didn't recognize it, she knew from the aura alone that it was no ordinary item.
Bing Di, who had followed to see what was going on, crossed her arms, leaned against the wall, and pouted.
"You're a decent guy, at least you know to share the good stuff from the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well with her."
Dai Huabin ignored Bing Di's complaints and looked at Zhu Lu seriously, saying:
"This is called Narcissus Jade Bone and Muscle, a true Immortal Herb. Its effects are to nourish tendons and bones, and to unblock the seven meridians and eight extraordinary vessels."
In fact, when Dai Huabin was at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye, he also considered whether to take the most famous "Acacia Heartbreak Red".
But as a time traveler who was familiar with the plot, he always felt that the thing was too eerie.
In the original novel, those who ate the Acacia Heartbreak Red always seemed to have a tragic ending.
In comparison, Narcissus Jade Bone and Muscle is much more substantial; you don't need to vomit blood, you can just eat it and take off.
"Lulu." Dai Huabin reached out and touched her soft, black hair.
"Ten thousand years ago, Zhu Zhuqing, the Speed God among the original Shrek Seven Devils, consumed this Immortal Herb. With it, your talent and physique will undergo a complete transformation."
Zhu Lu's eyes instantly reddened when she heard the words "Speed God".
She knew how precious the Immortal Herb was; there might not be more than a few plants to be found on the entire continent.
After going through great hardships to obtain it, Dai Huabin gave it to her immediately.
"Hua Bin…" Zhu Lu threw herself into his arms, hugging his waist tightly, her voice choked with emotion, "You're so good to me, how can I ever repay you?"
Dai Huabin took the opportunity to put his arm around her and whispered in her ear:
"Why are you telling me all this?"
"You are my future wife. We will grow stronger together and stand at the pinnacle of this world. You must know that Immortal Herbs are the foundation for becoming a god. I don't want to become a god in the future, while you can only look up to me from the mortal realm."
Upon hearing these words, Bing Di, who was leaning against the wall, slightly narrowed her emerald green pupils.
Looking at the two people embracing tightly, she suddenly felt a strange, inexplicable emotion.
In the world of soul beasts, only the strong prey on the weak; betrayal and slaughter are the norm.
She had never seen anyone like Dai Huabin who would give the other party top-tier resources so unreservedly, even linking it to the ethereal goal of becoming a god.
"Okay, stop hugging."
Bing Di cleared her throat, interrupting the bubbling pink atmosphere in the air, "Eat quickly, I'll keep an eye on things for you."
Dai Huabin smiled, released Zhu Lu, and handed the jade box to her.
"Eat only the petals, then suck the stamens, swallow them, and immediately sit cross-legged to meditate and use your soul power to activate the medicine's effects."
Dai Huabin gave careful instructions.
Zhu Lu nodded, took a deep breath, and carefully picked up a pure white petal and put it in her mouth.
The petals melted in the mouth, turning into a cool liquid that flowed down the throat.
Following Dai Huabin's instructions, Zhu Lu ate the petals one by one, and finally sucked hard on the stamen.
After doing all this, she immediately sat down cross-legged on the spot, closed her eyes, and began to practice meditation.
In less than half a minute, a faint, shimmering white light began to emanate from Zhu Lu's body.
The light, like the luster of fine jade, made her already fair skin appear even more translucent.
Immediately afterwards, wisps of dark gray impurities began to seep out from her pores. This was the Narcissus Jade Bone and Muscle cleansing her body and helping her expel the congenital impurities from her body.
Dai Huabin and Bing Di stood on either side of her, keeping a close eye on her condition.
Time passed by, second by second.
The temperature in the cultivation room fluctuated with the changes in Zhu Lu's soul power, and the shimmering white light emanating from her body grew brighter and brighter.
An hour later.
Zhu Lu slowly opened her eyes. Her originally gray-black eyes were now as deep as the night sky, and a faint jade-colored light flashed in the depths of her pupils.
Her aura was more than twice as strong as before!
"How about it?"
Dai Huabin stepped forward and handed over a clean towel.
Zhu Lu took the towel and wiped the sweat and impurities from her face. She sensed the soul power within her body, then suddenly looked up, her face filled with ecstatic joy:
"Hua Bin! My soul power has surged to the peak of level thirty-nine! I'm just a hair's breadth away from breaking through to level forty!"
Dai Huabin nodded in satisfaction.
In the original novel, Zhu Zhuqing consumed the Narcissus Jade Bone and Muscle, which boosted her level from 31 to 38.
Zhu Lu's original level was 33, so it's perfectly reasonable for her to have surged to the peak of level 39 in one go.
More importantly, this magical herb broadened her meridians, and her future cultivation speed will advance by leaps and bounds.
"Good."
Dai Huabin pinched her cheek.
"These next few days, focus on consolidating your cultivation level. Before school starts, I'll take you to the Star Dou Great Forest and get you a top-grade, ten-thousand-year fourth Spirit Ring. By then, the power of our Netherworld White Tiger will definitely double."
Zhu Lu was so excited she didn't know what to say, so she pounced on Dai Huabin and gave him a big kiss on the cheek.
"Hua Bin, remember this. No matter what happens in the future, I will always be your woman, and I will stay with you for the rest of my life!"
Dai Huabin smiled and patted her on the back to calm her down.
Then, he turned his head and looked at Bing Di standing next to him.
Bing Di felt uncomfortable under his gaze, crossed her arms and snorted, "What are you looking at? I don't need you to feed me medicine."
Dai Huabin's lips curled up. Zhu Lu's strength had improved; now it was time to get down to business.
"Bing Di, get ready."
A glint of shrewdness flashed in Dai Huabin's eyes.
"Tomorrow, we'll go to the top auction house in Star Luo City. Let's see if we can get that thing you've been longing for back."
Bing Di was stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening, and her breathing became rapid.
