The following day, within the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's Medicine Garden.
"You're finally here."
The Aromatic Silk Beauty swayed its floral branches, seemingly celebrating the arrival of Chen Junting and Ning Tian. A wisp of purple energy rose, transforming into a man dressed in purple. Although he was incredibly noble and elegant, the indignation on his face shattered all of that.
"You've broken through to level 70, right? Then let's get started quickly. This medicine garden of yours, no matter what, I can't stay here anymore."
Going from a large villa in the city to suddenly being swapped for a small broken house in the countryside. With such a gap, the Aromatic Silk Beauty was almost regretting it.
What exactly was I thinking following them out this early?
Isn't this purely asking for suffering?!
Hearing this, Chen Junting and Ning Tian exchanged a smile.
Chen Junting squatted down. Under the confused gaze of the purple-clad man transformed by the Aromatic Silk Beauty, he examined its Immortal Herb body. Then he extended a finger and pointed. A rich wave of life energy instantly poured into the Aromatic Silk Beauty's Immortal Herb body.
A feeling of comfort suddenly pierced through the entire Immortal Herb.
The Aromatic Silk Beauty, which seemed somewhat listless, suddenly became spirited. Its flower stem straightened directly, recovering to its peak state.
However, after the comfort, the Aromatic Silk Beauty not only showed no joy, but instead shrunk its petals back. The transformed purple-clad man even revealed a suspicious gaze, wary of Chen Junting.
"You're suddenly being so good to me. What are you planning?"
"Can't I just be purely good to you?"
This smile, in the Aromatic Silk Beauty's eyes, was like a demon from hell. Moreover, after hearing Chen Junting's words, if he weren't incapable of rolling his eyes, he would have been rolling them endlessly.
This Immortal Herb is about to lose its life, and you come to tell me this?
"Speak, what is it? But let's agree first. Like with Youyou, if it's something that makes this Immortal Herb violate its principles, then I won't do it."
"Rest assured, it absolutely won't violate principles."
Since the Aromatic Silk Beauty spoke first, Chen Junting stopped being polite. "I want you to nurture ten portions of Aromatic Silk Beauty essence before contracting as Xiao Tian's soul spirit."
"..."
After the silence, the Aromatic Silk Beauty, scared by the greed, roared, "Ten portions!? Do you think this is rice?! What is essence? That is a treasure nurtured by us Immortal Herbs after reaching 100,000 years and walking the path further. Ten portions? I don't even have one!"
Chen Junting ignored his shouting and tested cautiously.
"Really not possible?"
"No way!"
The Aromatic Silk Beauty's attitude was firm.
But the next second, an even richer wave of life energy was infused into its body. It was so comfortable that he even instinctively withdrew the transformed purple-clad man and fell into intoxication.
But as the life energy grew more and more, the Aromatic Silk Beauty suddenly woke from its intoxication, its floral branches swaying crazily. "Hey hey! No more! If there's any more, I won't be able to hold it!"
At the same time, a point of light was instinctively nurtured at the stamen.
The next second, Chen Junting's large hand reached out.
The point of light originally nurtured in the stamen also fell into his hand. This object was clearly the Aromatic Silk Beauty's essence.
This scene instantly froze the Aromatic Silk Beauty in place.
"See, isn't there one now?"
The teasing tone and playful gaze all made the Aromatic Silk Beauty's stamen tighten. He unnaturally shrugged his flower base and smiled awkwardly. "This is the only portion of essence I have, okay."
"Stop joking. This is what you just nurtured."
While Ning Tian cast an apologetic gaze at the Aromatic Silk Beauty, Chen Junting continued to extend his finger toward it. A green point of light representing life energy bloomed at his fingertip.
However, the Aromatic Silk Beauty, who loved life energy, looked as if it had seen a fierce beast. Its flower stem leaned back continuously.
But... it was all in vain.
The brilliance of life still bloomed.
"No! You're treating me like a flower farm!"
"Sorry."
Chen Junting said this, but his actions were not slow.
For the future of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect...
Let the Aromatic Silk Beauty suffer a bit; I'll bear the infamy!
...
"You bastard! A pure big bastard."
Holding ten portions of Aromatic Silk Beauty essence, Chen Junting felt completely satisfied. Then he carefully packed them separately into ten jade boxes and placed them into a Storage Soul Tool.
Although each portion of essence was not much, it was enough to allow a Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Tower Martial Soul disciple with outstanding talent to become a Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Tower Soul Master. If nothing went wrong, they could even break through to Titled Douluo.
As for the Aromatic Silk Beauty's angry cursing...
Curse away, curse away.
Anyway, I got the stuff. A few curses don't hurt.
However, seeing that simply cursing Chen Junting was useless, the Aromatic Silk Beauty went directly to Ning Tian to complain. Even though he knew these two were in it together, it didn't stop him.
"Sorry. When I become a God in the future, I will compensate you."
Chen Junting put his palms together and expressed his apology again.
The Aromatic Silk Beauty no longer entangled too much. He could only sigh like a human. "Fine, let it be then."
Subsequently, his tone became serious.
"Alright, I am ready."
Once these words were spoken,
Chen Junting also nodded seriously toward Ning Tian.
After Ning Tian walked to the opposite side of the Aromatic Silk Beauty, Chen Junting acted immediately. Array runes were drawn. In less than a breath's time, the Spirit Contracting Array was arranged by him.
Subsequently, the soul spirit Contracting Ceremony began!
Under the coverage of light, the Aromatic Silk Beauty gradually turned into points of light and merged into Ning Tian's body. Quickly, a bright red soul ring and a Torso Bone were left in the original spot.
As time passed, the two continued to merge with Ning Tian.
When the soul ring and Soul Bone merged into one with Ning Tian, the threshold of Ning Tian's level 70 was instantly broken. It continued to climb until it broke through to level 75 before stopping.
At the moment the light of the Spirit Contracting Array converged, Ning Tian also opened her eyes. The next second, the transformed Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Tower appeared in her hand. Yellow, Yellow, Purple, Black, Black, Black—Red!
The last soul ring appeared incredibly dazzling at this moment.
At this time, Ning Tian and Chen Junting looked at each other.
"How is the effect of the soul skill?"
"Great."
Ning Tian perceived it slightly and revealed a satisfied smile. "All Soul Power consumption is halved. It can also be used on others. Moreover, after use, it can keep a person in peak condition throughout the entire process."
Hearing this, Chen Junting immediately revealed a look of surprise.
"All!? And peak condition throughout the entire process!?"
"Yes."
The affirmative nod made Chen Junting inhale sharply.
As expected of the transformed Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Tower. As expected of the soul ring given by a 100,000-Year Immortal Herb. It truly is heaven-defying!
Putting aside the halving of all Soul Power consumption, what concept is being in peak condition throughout the entire process? It means that unless that person's Soul Power is exhausted, or they are dead, their state will remain at peak, unaffected by any interference.
This soul skill is a God Skill!
