Chapter 70 Revealing My Identity, My Rivals Are Increasing!
Xiao Wu's face flushed slightly.
"The whole sacrifice thing is a misunderstanding."
She muttered something under her breath.
"But I am indeed..."
She paused, seemingly finding it difficult to mention it herself.
"...It is indeed as you said."
Ning Rongrong opened her mouth wide, momentarily at a loss for words.
She did guess part of Xiao Wu's identity, but she never expected Xiao Wu's true identity to be so incredible.
"But....."
Ning Rongrong suddenly thought of something, and a look of worry appeared on her face.
"I remember that soul beasts are very dangerous before they reach maturity. Not only do they not have the strength of a 100,000-year-old soul beast, they are also easily seen through by Soul Douluo-level powerhouses. Are you really okay walking around in the soul master society like this?"
Her concern was genuine.
Although she hadn't spent much time with Xiao Wu, she had already considered her a friend.
If Xiao Wu's identity was exposed...
Xiao Wu felt a surge of warmth in her heart when she saw the worry in her eyes.
"That's why I enrolled in Shrek Academy."
She explained softly.
"That place is remote, and the strongest person there is only at the Soul Saint level, and..."
She paused, a strange light flashing in her eyes.
"With the help of that voice in my mind, my growth cycle has been shortened considerably. Now, unless it is a Title Douluo-level powerhouse, no one can see through my disguise."
That voice in my head?
Ning Rongrong's heart stirred.
She didn't ask any further questions because she knew that she herself had that voice.
In some ways, they were even competitors.
Seeing that Xiao Wu had revealed her identity, Ning Rongrong decided to formally introduce herself as well.
She took a deep breath and calmed herself down.
"My name is Ning Rongrong."
She said in a serious and solemn tone.
"The daughter of the Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."
Xiao Wu blinked.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect? One of the three upper sects?
"So....."
A sly glint flashed in her eyes.
"So you're the 'Little Witch of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect'? I thought you were the one who said 'My Grandfather Isn't the Weakest Title Douluo'."
Upon hearing this, Ning Rongrong's expression instantly turned alert.
"Wait."
Her expression became serious.
"Who are you talking about, 'My grandfather isn't the weakest Title Douluo'? Weren't there only two chosen?"
"Haven't you been paying attention lately?"
Xiao Wu's gaze toward her became somewhat strange.
"She not only made it onto the contribution list, but her ranking has surpassed the two of us."
"What?!"
Ning Rongrong's voice suddenly rose in pitch.
Surpass them? Impossible!
She sacrificed a 60,000-year-old soul beast, and Xiao Wu even sacrificed a 100,000-year-old Azure Bull Python!
What incredible opportunity would it take to surpass the two of them?
"The list says she fed Ye Tianchen two Immortal Herbs, one called something like Fiery Apricot Blossom and the other called Eight-Cornered Ice Grass. They sound very powerful, but I don't know what their effects are."
Xiao Wu recalled what she had seen on the list and told Ning Rongrong.
"Two mere herbs made him number one on the contribution list? How is that possible? Are two herbs more valuable than a 100,000-year-old soul beast? Could there be some shady dealing involved?"
Ning Rongrong was full of doubts. In her understanding, a 100,000-year-old soul beast was the most precious existence in the soul master world. Nothing was more precious than a 100,000-year-old soul beast.
Ye Tianchen smiled gently as he looked at her defiant expression.
"In your opinion, the 100,000-year soul ring and 100,000-year soul bone produced by a 100,000-year soul beast are the most precious things in the world."
He said it calmly but earnestly.
"But in my opinion, there are many things in this world that can be compared with a 100,000-year soul ring or soul bone."
Ning Rongrong blinked and listened attentively.
"Among them is the little-known Immortal Herb in the world of Soul Masters."
"Immortal Herb?"
Ning Rongrong was stunned.
She had never heard of the term before.
"The Immortal Herb has many miraculous effects."
Ye Tianchen continued.
"Its help to Soul Masters is no less than that of a 100,000-year soul ring or soul bone, and may even... surpass it."
"Surpass?"
Is there really anything in the Soul Master world that can surpass the value of a 100,000-year soul ring or soul bone?
Ning Rongrong still harbored some doubts.
"A magical herb?"
Xiao Wu's voice interrupted Ning Rongrong's thoughts, and she looked at Ye Tianchen with curiosity.
"Are 'Fiery Apricot Blossom and Eight-Cornered Ice Grass' Immortal Herbs?"
"That's right."
Ye Tianchen nodded.
"Xiao Wu, don't you know what an Immortal Herb is? Aren't you a 100,000-year-old soul beast?"
Ning Rongrong looked at Xiao Wu with a hint of doubt in her eyes.
"I am indeed a 100,000-year-old soul beast."
Xiao Wu said it as a matter of fact.
"But before I took human form, I stayed in the Star Dou Great Forest, where I spent my days eating, sleeping, and interacting with spirit beasts. It wasn't until after I took human form that I entered the soul master world, so naturally I didn't know what Immortal Herbs were."
She paused, then suddenly thought of something and asked in return.
"Wait, aren't you the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect? Your sect has stood on the continent for thousands of years. Haven't you ever heard of Immortal Herbs?"
Ning Rongrong gently shook her head.
"The sect has no records of any Immortal Herbs."
There was a hint of regret in her voice.
"I have never heard my father mention it either."
"Didn't I just say that?"
Ye Tianchen interjected at the right moment.
"The Immortal Herb is little known. If everyone knew about it, then the most precious thing on the continent wouldn't be a 100,000-year-old soul beast."
Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong exchanged a glance and nodded.
"That's true."
Xiao Wu said thoughtfully, then her eyes flashed with even stronger curiosity.
"What magical effects do these two Immortal Herbs have that make them even more valuable than a 100,000-year-old soul beast?"
When she asked the question, even the Titan Ape lying on the ground turned its head.
Its enormous head moved closer, its golden eyes fixed on Ye Tianchen, clearly filled with anticipation for the answer.
Ye Tianchen looked at their expectant gazes, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.
"It is impervious to water and fire, and immune to all poisons."
He slowly uttered eight words.
Xiao Wu blinked.
Ning Rongrong blinked as well.
"Anything else?"
Xiao Wu pressed further.
"The cycle of Yin and Yang continues endlessly."
Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong exchanged a glance, both seeing confusion in each other's eyes.
They didn't quite understand the last eight words, but the meaning of the first eight words was crystal clear to them.
It is impervious to water and fire, and immune to all poisons.
What does that mean?
This means that Ye Tianchen is now immune to attacks of three attributes: water, fire, and poison!
"On a superficial level..."
Ye Tianchen explained.
"The Immortal Herb only made me immune to water, fire, and poison attacks, but in a deeper sense, it means that I am naturally restrained by water, fire, and poison-type Soul Masters. If I encounter opponents of these three types, I have already won half the battle before I even make a move."
