Back when Xiao Wu shouted "Third Brother" at the top of her lungs, the members of the Emperor Team had already noticed Xiao Lin and the others at the entrance. Hearing Xiao Lin clap his hands to assemble the team, the Emperor Fighting members gathered quickly.
"Xiao Lin, have you all become stronger again?"
Tang Ni, who was the most sensitive to Xiao Lin's strength, had already perceived the surging vitality within his body. Shocked, she asked him directly.
Her words caused every member of the Emperor Team to prick up their ears.
What's going on? They got stronger in just one month?
Although they weren't as sensitive as Tang Ni, the increase in Xiao Lin and Tang San's strength was visible to the naked eye.
Even the densest person should have realized it by now.
"Mm. With the help of Senior Dugu, we obtained some Immortal Herbs that can increase our strength. I've gathered you all here to distribute them," Xiao Lin said.
As soon as he finished speaking, looks of joy appeared on the faces of all the Emperor Team members.
There wasn't a Soul Master in this world who didn't crave becoming stronger.
Immortal Herbs—what a grand name!
However, Xiao Lin's tone quickly shifted.
"But, aside from Tang Ni and Xiao Wu, who are quite close to us—and the fact that Ning Rongrong's father, Sect Master Ning, has given us plenty of Gold Soul Coins, and Senior Dugu is helping Senior Dugu Yan—everyone else must exchange sufficient resources for them."
"Those with enough resources can trade with them; those without can use Gold Soul Coins, or exchange their future time."
As Xiao Lin's voice fell, the members of the Emperor Team didn't show any particular negative emotions.
Xiao Lin's behavior was perfectly reasonable.
Although they were classmates and teammates, they had only met a few times. How could he just give away Immortal Herbs for free?
Aside from Ning Rongrong and Dugu Yan, the others began to contemplate what kind of resources they could offer in exchange.
"Xiao Lin, what do you want?" Yu Tianheng asked curiously.
With the resources of his Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, he could certainly afford an Immortal Herb; he just didn't know how high the price would be.
"Don't worry. This isn't about what we want, but what you have," Xiao Lin chuckled, then gave Tang San a meaningful look.
Tang San instantly understood Xiao Lin's intent and pulled out several Immortal Herbs.
"This is the Eight Petal Immortal Orchid for Tang Ni."
"Its medicinal nature is gentle, possessing the effects of strengthening the foundation and tempering the essence while expelling impurities. It is suitable for Food System Soul Masters, but it will also be very effective for Tang Ni's Golden Dragon Martial Soul."
"For Xiao Wu, the Yearning Heartbroken Red. It can bring the dead back to life and regrow flesh on bone. It is the best of the Immortal Herbs and can give Xiao Wu a massive boost in Soul Power."
As Tang San described the effects of the two herbs, the members of the Emperor Team widened their eyes, staring unblinkingly at the plants in his hands.
However, after that, Xiao Lin took over for Tang San to continue the introductions.
The reason was simple: Tang San was too earnest; he didn't even know how to hype things up. Xiao Lin was different—he knew the true potential of these herbs!
"This is the Beautiful Silk Tulip. After consuming it, one can absorb the essence of heaven and earth. It can help Ning Rongrong's Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda evolve into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda."
"This is the Dragon Blood Grass, an Immortal Herb containing the blood of a true dragon. Its energy is violent. After Dugu Yan eats it, as long as she can endure the powerful energy impact, her Martial Soul can evolve into the Jade Phosphor Poison Dragon."
"Hiss!!"
By the time Xiao Lin finished describing the herbs for Ning Rongrong and Dugu Yan, every Soul Master present had eyes shining with greed.
While they gasped in disbelief, their gazes were filled with incomparable longing. At the same time, they couldn't help but think: if the herbs for Ning Rongrong and Dugu Yan were this powerful, even if the others were "trash" in comparison, they would still be extraordinary.
"Brother Xiao Lin, can this herb really make my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda evolve?"
Ning Rongrong's hands trembled as she held the Beautiful Silk Tulip, her delicate face filled with pleasant surprise.
"Of course. Little San will tell you how to take it in a moment."
Xiao Lin nodded, then turned his gaze toward Yu Tianheng and the others.
"Alright, next is for the rest of you. The Nine Treasure Purple Zoysia—it strengthens the foundation, tempers the essence, rectifies Martial Soul defects, and increases internal energy."
"Even if a useless person with only Rank 0.5 Innate Soul Power takes this, they can improve their Martial Soul enough to reach the level of a Soul Douluo."
Xiao Lin remembered that in the original timeline, Yu Xiaogang had indeed reached the level of a Soul Douluo, and perhaps even higher.
Xiao Lin wasn't exaggerating.
"This one is for Yu Tianheng. It might rectify the flaw where the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul is prone to mutations, or even cause it to evolve. Yu Tianheng, think about what resources you'll use to trade for it."
Immediately after, ignoring Yu Tianheng's shocked expression, Xiao Lin looked toward the Shi brothers.
"And then there is this Cinnabar Lotus. It is cold in nature and highly beneficial for water-attribute Martial Souls. It might even strengthen the Black Turtle Martial Souls of the Shi Mo and Shi Mo brothers."
The Shi brothers' Martial Souls were called Black Turtle, but in reality, they were slightly inferior even to the Mysterious Deep Tortoise of Xu Sanshi from ten thousand years later.
Considering the performance and sheer pressure of Ma Hongjun's Evil Fire Phoenix, it was clear that the Shi brothers' Martial Souls couldn't truly compare to the legendary Black Turtle.
If the Shi brothers could evolve their Martial Souls to possess the Black Turtle lineage this time, Xiao Lin would be very satisfied.
Shaking off these stray thoughts, Xiao Lin ignored the brothers' longing gazes and looked directly at Yu Feng and Osler.
"These two are Top-quality Yellow Essence. They offer almost no direct benefit to the Martial Soul itself, but they can purify impurities within the body, replenish essence, and enhance endurance."
"They are Immortal Herbs perfectly suited for Yu Feng and Osler."
"Finally, the herb for classmate Ye Lingling—the thousand-year Top-quality Snow Silkworm. It has powerful nourishing effects and is excellent for healing internal injuries; it can significantly strengthen the healing capabilities of the Nine Heart Begonia."
Before long, Xiao Lin finished introducing all the herbs and quietly observed his classmates.
Of course, Xiao Lin knew that some of these plants weren't technically "Immortal Herbs." But so what? Could herbs grown in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well truly be that much worse than average Immortal Herbs? Business required a bit of exaggeration.
In less than three seconds, Yu Tianheng proposed his terms for the trade.
"Xiao Lin, I will exchange our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect's top-tier medicinal bath formula with you, provided you do not share it with anyone else."
Yu Tianheng's meaning was simple: the formula was for the exclusive use of Xiao Lin's group of four.
No one else—not even their parents—could see it.
With the threat of a Martial Soul Oath and the fact that none of Xiao Lin's family members possessed Dragon-type Martial Souls, this bath was essentially intended for Tang Ni, whom everyone believed to be Tang San's sister.
Xiao Lin's first instinct was to refuse.
He knew Tang Ni was an Auspicious Beast; why would he specifically trade for something for her? To put it bluntly, if he had extra good stuff, he'd share it with her, but he couldn't just give up his own benefits for her sake.
Their relationship hadn't reached that level yet.
"Accept it, Xiao Lin. I want to see just how effective this medicinal bath of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect really is," the Ice Dragon King spoke within Xiao Lin's consciousness space, urging him to agree.
"Ah... alright then."
After hesitating for a few seconds and seeing Tang San give a slight nod, Xiao Lin agreed. It made sense; Tang San was a martial arts genius and was undoubtedly curious about the sect's medicinal baths.
Furthermore, with all the herbs they had taken from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Tang San might even be able to improve the formula into a medicinal bath suitable for everyone.
"Captain Xiao Lin, we offer our family's Mysterious Underworld Stones. They can assist water-attribute Soul Masters in their cultivation."
"Ah... that works too."
Seeing Tang San's eyes light up, Xiao Lin knew he was interested in the ore and agreed.
"Captain Xiao Lin, my family doesn't have many rare resources, only Gold Soul Coins," Ye Lingling said somewhat helplessly.
Similar to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Ye Lingling's family possessed the powerful healing ability of the Nine Heart Begonia.
Even members who didn't awaken that specific soul were skilled healers. This meant the Ye family made a lot of money through medical services, but they lacked the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's ability to discover precious gems.
They had plenty of money, but rare metals and ores were scarce.
"How about this: work for me. For the next ten years—no, let's make it five—wherever I go, you follow and provide healing whenever I need it."
"Huh!?"
In an instant, everyone—from Tang San's group to the Emperor Team—was shocked by Xiao Lin's words.
Wow, Xiao Lin... who knew you were that kind of person?
Even Ye Lingling misunderstood him, taking a wary half-step back.
"What are you thinking? I'm just worried about dying during intense training. That would be a huge loss," Xiao Lin explained helplessly.
