Chapter 239: Wang Dong's Celestial Herb – Dawnlight Radiance Blossom
"Th-thank you, Ye Chen! You're the best…"
Xiao Xiao clutched the jade box tightly, reluctant to let go.
"What about me? What's in the other box?"
Wang Dong tugged at Ye Chen's arm, voice full of playful charm, her pink-blue eyes shining with eager anticipation.
If Xiao Xiao's gift was that amazing, hers could only be better!
She had seen many rare treasures and consumed countless heavenly herbs in her life, but nothing quite like Xiao Xiao's Phoenix Song Purifying Heart Grass. That only made her curiosity burn brighter.
"Alright, alright, yours is next."
Ye Chen smiled, turning toward Wang Dong and handing her the second jade box.
Her eyes sparkled as she snatched it up at once, murmuring, "Mine's definitely beautiful too!"
She lifted the lid impatiently.
Buzz…
The moment it opened, a soft but vivid golden glow spilled out, filling the room like morning light breaking through the last veil of night.
The fragrance was purer and crisper than even Xiao Xiao's herb—like the first gentle ray of dawn washing away the dust of the world.
Inside lay a flower unlike any other.
It had only four or five petals, long and graceful, semi-transparent along the edges, each veined with a radiant hue. At its center shimmered a small core of sacred golden light, like a captured sunrise condensed into form.
Though it had no stem or leaves, the stamen glowed faintly like motes of starlight, emanating an aura of pure light that stirred the power of Wang Dong's Light Goddess Butterfly spirit within her.
"Wow… what is this? It's glowing!"
Wang Dong covered her mouth in awe, reaching out cautiously to touch one of the softly luminous petals—it felt tender and elastic, like living light.
"This is the Dawnlight Radiance Blossom, one of the finest light-attributed heavenly treasures," Ye Chen explained calmly.
"A light-type treasure? Ye Chen, you really do know me best!"
Wang Dong's joy erupted; she threw her arms around him and planted a loud kiss on his cheek.
Her martial soul was a powerful light-attribute one—but in this world, light-type herbs were exceedingly rare.
Even a sect as powerful as the Clear Sky Clan barely possessed any.
Yet, Ye Chen had somehow found this precious treasure, and one perfectly suited for her.
Seeing her radiant delight, Ye Chen continued, smiling.
"This isn't an ordinary light-element herb. It has incredibly potent supportive properties. First, it will greatly raise your soul power cultivation—far stronger than the Soul-Enhancing Pill I gave you before."
"But more importantly, it refines both your martial soul and your physical body, purging away every subtle impurity. It will make your soul power flow smoother and purer than ever before."
"In other words, your light-element energy will become even more sacred, likely boosting the strength of all your light-type abilities."
The Dawnlight Radiance Blossom wasn't quite at the level of an ultimate-element herb, but it was extraordinarily close—it matched Wang Dong's body and power flawlessly.
After all, ultimate-element martial souls were one-in-ten-thousand existences, and the herbs that complemented them were equally rare.
The Icefire Yin-Yang Well existed only because of the fall of the Fire Dragon King and Ice Dragon King.
If the Light Dragon King and Dark Dragon King had died in this world, perhaps herbs of ultimate light and darkness would have been born as well…
…
"Amazing…"
Wang Dong could only gape, speechless at Ye Chen's explanation.
She didn't doubt his words for a second. The moment she saw the Dawnlight Radiance Blossom, she could feel her own soul power responding, her martial soul trembling with excitement.
She had taken many priceless elixirs before, worth tens of millions of gold soul coins, but none had ever elicited such a reaction.
That meant this herb's value far exceeded any mere price—it was priceless, rarer than a hundred-thousand-year soul bone, the kind of treasure no amount of money could buy.
And Ye Chen had simply gifted it to her.
Her eyes shimmered, tears threatening to spill from her joy.
"Ye Chen…"
Before she could voice the flood of words in her heart, Ye Chen reached out and gently pinched her cheek.
"Alright, that's enough. You and Xiao Xiao are both mine—of course I'll take care of you," he said softly. "Now hurry and absorb it. The moment the box was opened, its medicinal energy began to dissipate. Don't waste it."
He briefly described the method for absorption.
"Okay!"
"Mm!"
Both girls nodded eagerly, pushing away their emotions to focus on the task ahead.
They sat cross-legged, each holding their celestial herb.
Then, without hesitation, they swallowed the plants whole and began channeling their soul power to absorb the energy.
Fresh from the bath, both still wore bathrobes, slightly loosened from earlier closeness.
Caught in the rush of excitement, they had completely forgotten to tidy up before sitting down to cultivate.
Feeling Ye Chen's gaze, they flushed crimson—but made no attempt to cover up again. After all… it was Ye Chen.
So they settled beside him, one on each side, luminous auras soon unfurling from their bodies.
A soft pink-blue glow radiated from Wang Dong, and a gentle misty green from Xiao Xiao.
Their soul energies pulsed in harmony—warm, ethereal, and serene.
Time flowed quietly.
The twin auras rose and fell rhythmically.
Soon, Wang Dong's side began to stabilize.
The initial surge of pressure subsided, replaced by a deep, refreshing clarity that spread through every inch of her body.
Sweat glistened on her forehead before fading as her expression turned peaceful, even blissful.
The radiant energy of the Dawnlight Radiance Blossom gently purified her from within, washing away every blockage and impurity until they evaporated as faint gray mist into the air.
Her soul power shone brighter and purer, illuminating the room with sacred light.
The violent currents of energy softened into warm, steady streams flowing through her meridians—charging directly at her cultivation bottleneck.
Already at the thirty-third rank, the surge instantly pushed her higher—
Thirty-four…
Thirty-five…
Up and up she rose!
Meanwhile, beside her, Xiao Xiao's gentle green aura still pulsed steadily.
The Phoenix Song Purifying Heart Grass nourished her like spring rain, endlessly feeding her meridians and dantian with balanced, soothing vitality.
