Dugu Bo snorted unhappily, but didn't bother to argue with him.
"What, you're not welcoming this old man at all?"
"Not at all, please feel free to do as you please, senior," Dongfang Jing said with a smile.
"Brother! You're back!"
A crisp, cheerful call interrupted the conversation.
Dongfang Yao, like a cheerful little deer, jumped down from her seat by the long table and hopped over.
Looking at the lovely girl, Dongfang Jing reached out and ruffled her hair.
Besides the soft touch of his sister's black hair under his palm, he also sensed her presence, which seemed stronger than before.
Dongfang Jing carefully sensed it, and then a gratified smile appeared on his face. He praised, "Our Yao'er is almost a Soul King, that's amazing!"
"Hehe, no, it's all thanks to you, brother." Dongfang Yao scratched her head a little embarrassedly.
During the days that Dongfang Jing was away, she had absorbed the 100,000-year-old Blue Silver Emperor right leg bone and the Mountain-Shaking Mammoth left arm bone obtained from Tang Hao, under A Yin's protection.
Both of these soul bones are of superior quality.
Dongfang Yao's soul power has soared from level 42.5 to level 49.
He's just one step away from breaking through, needing his fifth spirit ring.
The enhancement brought by the soul bone goes far beyond soul power.
The Blue Silver Emperor's right leg bone grants her powerful regeneration and flight abilities, while the Mountain Shaker Mammoth's left arm bone compensates for her weakness in strength, making her swordplay more steady and sharp.
Then Dongfang Yao said that Wang Qiu'er also absorbed the replicated left arm bone of the Mountain-Shaking Mammoth during this week.
Because her soul power was already quite high, she only increased by two levels, reaching level sixty-three.
Dongfang Jing sat down in the empty seat at the long table, resting his chin on one hand, lost in thought.
He was considering whether he should share the immortal herbs he brought back from the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well with his other teammates.
These immortal herbs are priceless, treasures coveted by countless soul masters.
But if he keeps the remaining immortal herbs, besides the portions for Yao'er and his master, he can't eat too many of them. He can't really keep them as potted plants.
Those present were all kind-hearted young girls, and also Yao'er's friends.
Since he has become the team captain and also serves as a teacher, it is only reasonable for him to find ways to help his team members improve their skills collectively.
After thinking it over, Dongfang Jing raised his head, his gaze sweeping over the crowd quietly waiting for him to speak around the long table, and said, "Don't be so tense, relax, I have a gift for you."
Upon hearing this, the girls' eyes lit up.
The gift from the captain must be extremely precious!
Could it be... that, like Yao'er and Qiu'er, the gift is a soul bone?!
The thought of this possibility made the girls breathe more rapidly.
Only Dongfang Yao remained calm, picking up the wine glass in front of her and sipping the iced tea in it.
She already knew that the gift was a magical herb.
Their 'Twin Star Vortex' space is interconnected, and she had already seen those colorful and uniquely shaped immortal herbs.
She never touched these things because they belonged to her brother.
Of course, besides her brother's clothes, she would occasionally steal one or two other items...
...
Under the intense gaze of everyone,
Dongfang Jing raised his hand and touched the Twin Stars, taking out one immortal herb after another and presenting them to everyone.
In an instant, the entire living room was enveloped in a strange medicinal fragrance and dazzling light.
Dugu Bo's eyelids twitched violently, and he felt extremely frustrated.
He could only turn his head away, unable to bear the heartbreaking scene.
But my ears perked up involuntarily, listening intently to what was happening over there.
Dongfang Jing said to the girls, "These things are peerless immortal herbs. Hmm... it's a bit complicated to explain. You just need to know that after taking them, they can help you break through your bottlenecks and won't leave any side effects."
"Don't worry, these are all aimed at strengthening the foundation and nourishing the body, and are by no means intended to force growth."
After speaking, Dongfang Jing activated his soul power and slowly presented a large chrysanthemum and a red immortal herb radiating intense heat to Wang Qiu'er.
The chrysanthemum was a magnificent purple, with layers upon layers of petals. The central stamen was more than half a foot taller than the petals, and the tip of the stamen shone with a faint golden light.
The other herb has a very simple appearance, consisting of only red leaves, with the top of each leaf resembling a rooster's comb, and the veins being a deep reddish-gold.
"Qiu'er, these are definitely the two plants that are most suitable for you."
"They are the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum and the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower."
"Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum is a neutral and divine medicinal herb. When consumed, it can circulate qi in the limbs, unblock the blood vessels in the eight meridians, and help one cultivate an indestructible body."
"Of course, 'indestructible' is definitely an exaggeration. Just think of it as a powerful tonic."
"But your Golden Dragon Martial Soul already possesses ultimate power. After consuming it, your strength and physical strength will only become stronger."
"But you're already level 63. I estimate the effects of this medicine will only last until you reach around level 70."
Wang Qiu'er nodded seriously. She hadn't been interested in the contents of the "Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record" back in the forest, so she hadn't looked at it carefully.
Now that Dongfang Jing's magnetic voice was speaking, she listened with great interest.
"And the other one is called the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower."
"This celestial medicine is potent and fiery. Although it is most suitable for fire-attribute soul masters, it is also a highly nourishing pure yang medicine."
"In short, eating these will only benefit your health. Qiu'er, choose one."
Wang Qiu'er's gaze lingered between the two.
She didn't make a choice immediately, but instead looked up and met Dongfang Jing's gaze.
Just as I was about to speak, I suddenly remembered that there were other people here.
He could only mumble, "I drank yours..."
"I ate both of these herbs, so there shouldn't be any problem, right?"
These words reminded Dongfang Jing.
Yes, Wang Qiu'er drank from the Mirror of Light Spring and was also a Golden Dragon, so her physical strength was far beyond that of ordinary people.
She might actually be able to withstand consuming two rare medicinal herbs.
Although a sliver of worry still lingered in my heart,
But seeing Wang Qiu'er's resolute attitude, Dongfang Jing slowly nodded.
"It should be fine."
He was just about to tell Wang Qiu'er how to take the medicine and the precautions.
Wang Qiu'er spoke first, saying, "When I'm ready to take it, I'll come to your room and you can teach me then."
"Hmm, that works too."
Dongfang Jing didn't think much of it. They were buddies, so it wasn't a bad idea to give her some extra help in private.
However,
The atmosphere around the long table instantly turned strange after the other girls overheard this conversation.
A series of gossipy glances, tinged with a hint of inquiry, swept back and forth between Dongfang Jing and Wang Qiu'er.
They were convinced that there was something going on between the two of them!
