Douluo: Unrivaled God General, Fooling Qian Renxue at the Start

Nan Tianchen's heart was filled with indescribable excitement. His family's inherited martial spirit had unexpectedly mutated into such an extraordinary "Gulei Tome."

Indeed, his shameless pursuit of Lan Xue back in the day, despite it being a bit disgraceful, had proven to be the right decision. The returns had far outweighed any shame.

"Father, my tome also records the locations of many other rare treasures. When I get stronger, I'll find them all to honor you and Mother," Nan Feihuang said innocently, with a hint of determination in his voice.

This scene deeply moved both parents, especially Lan Xue. Only now did she realize that all the rushing around her son had done these past few days—emptying the treasure vault, exchanging money, even deceiving Jia Chong by issuing fake orders—had all been for her sake.

Unable to contain herself, Lan Xue embraced her son, planting several kisses on his face. "Such a good child, truly your mother's treasure!"

"But it's a pity," Nan Feihuang sighed, "my martial spirit only records the locations of certain medicinal herbs, not soul bones. If it could track those too, we'd never lack for soul bones again."

While he knew he could provide many herbs in the future thanks to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, he tempered their expectations when it came to soul bones. He couldn't risk raising their hopes too high, as his ability wasn't all-encompassing.

What he didn't expect was that Nan Tianchen wasn't disappointed in the slightest. "Silly child, being able to track rare herbs is already an extraordinary gift. If it could also record soul bones, then your martial spirit would be too overpowered. You must remember, 'When the sun reaches its zenith, it begins to set; when the moon is full, it begins to wane.' Even heaven and earth are not perfect. You shouldn't overly chase after perfection, as it can disrupt your mindset."

Nan Tianchen was always teaching Nan Feihuang, knowing that despite his son's maturity, he was still a child and often failed to grasp the concept of contentment.

Sometimes, knowing when to stop is not a sign of mediocrity but wisdom. Though it may seem like settling, it could very well be the peak one can achieve.

"I understand, Father," Nan Feihuang replied, nodding. "But for now, could you have the royal physician process the six-grade Purple Ganoderma and Ice Crystal Lotus into a pill? These two herbs should be relatively easy to refine since it's a simple formula."

Nan Tianchen took the formula and glanced over it. "Hmm, so this can be refined into a spiritual pill called the Ice Soul Pill, which can enhance the soul power of ice attribute soul masters. Not bad. According to the formula, it's not difficult to refine. I'll arrange it right away. And what about the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng?"

Nan Feihuang responded, "Mother should consume the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng directly. This immortal herb will not only heal her injuries but also enhance the effects of the Ice Soul Pill, purifying and increasing her soul power."

He wasn't planning to have the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng refined into medicine—not because it couldn't be, but because the risk was too high.

Using such a rare immortal herb for alchemy could indeed yield extraordinary results, but it also demanded exceptional skill. Nan Feihuang didn't have enough faith in the palace alchemists to risk such a precious resource.

If they failed, the herb would be wasted.

Nan Feihuang wasn't willing to take that gamble.

While he could wait until he grew stronger and refine it himself, that would take time. Lan Xue's health couldn't wait.

Her internal injuries had been accumulating, worsening over time, affecting not only her future cultivation but also her lifespan.

Watching her cough every day, her face pale, Nan Feihuang could no longer bear it. More than any grander goals, all he wanted was to heal her as soon as possible.

With the combined efforts of the royal physicians, healing soul masters, and fire attribute soul masters, three Ice Soul Pills were soon successfully refined.

The greatest advantage of refining pills, aside from enhancing their efficacy, was the ability to produce multiple doses.

Each of these three pills was as effective as the original Purple Ganoderma and Ice Crystal Lotus, but now there were three, effectively tripling the potency.

Of course, this only applied to mid-grade pills like these. When it came to peerless divine pills, several immortal herbs might be needed just to produce a single pill—but those pills would possess earth-shattering effects.

Following Nan Feihuang's advice, Lan Xue consumed two of the Ice Soul Pills in one go. In an instant, her entire body was encased in ice.

This ice didn't harm her since she was an ice attribute soul master.

Now, she was simply absorbing the power of ice and snow within the cold.

With her cultivation nearing that of a titled Douluo, it took her less than two hours to fully refine the medicinal power of these mid-grade pills.

Yet when she awoke, she was still at level eighty-nine.

That was because her internal injuries remained, and the Ice Soul Pills couldn't heal them.

Moreover, while she had refined the pill's power into her body, she hadn't yet fully absorbed it. The next step would be the true test.

Nan Tianchen approached, holding the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng. "Xue'er, Feihuang said that you need to consume this herb entirely, then immediately merge its power with the Ice Soul Pills inside you. That way, you can fully activate the medicinal effects from both."

"Don't worry. I won't let down Feihuang's good intentions," Lan Xue nodded. Over the years, her internal injuries had plagued her for far too long.

And that bottleneck at level eighty-nine—she dreamed of breaking through it.

Though she said she didn't resent Tang Hao, it was impossible to say she felt no bitterness at all.

"One day, Tang Hao, I will stand on equal footing with you. Then, carrying the hopes of my son, I'll challenge you again. This time, I won't lose." With a firm heart, Lan Xue consumed the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng.

The potency of this immortal herb was at least ten times stronger than the two Ice Soul Pills combined.

Its unique property lay in its ability to fuse and amplify the effects of different medicines while also helping to break through the bottleneck between Soul Douluo and Titled Douluo.

The time required for Lan Xue to fully absorb these powers would be much longer than what was depicted in the original story of the Shrek Seven Devils.

It would take days, perhaps even nights.

"Pass down my order: Suspend court sessions for seven days. I will remain by my wife's side and protect her during this time. No one is to disturb us," Nan Tianchen commanded.

He then sat cross-legged outside Lan Xue's chamber, eyes closed, waiting patiently.

Though their marriage had initially been one of convenience, over time, their bond had grown.

With Lan Xue's beauty and brilliance, it was hard for Nan Tianchen not to have fallen for her after spending so much time together.

Nan Feihuang didn't disturb them. He had full confidence that Lan Xue would completely recover and break through her bottleneck, so there was no longer any need to worry.

"Ahhh..." Back in the East Palace, Lu Lingqi suddenly pointed to her throat, grumbling to Nan Feihuang. She wanted her voice healed too so that she could talk to him every day.

Nan Feihuang chuckled and took her hand. "Don't worry, Lingqi, I'll heal you as well. I promise."

"Ahhh (I trust you)!"

In the inner palace, Nan Tianchen and Lan Xue guarded each other. In the East Palace, Nan Feihuang and Lu Lingqi trusted each other too.

With this foundation, their family's rise would be unstoppable.
