Tang San didn’t say anything else, without leave walking over to sit next to Grandmaster, adopting a lotus posture[ (五心朝天) “Five Hearts Facing The Sky” is probably a specific position, but googling it gives a variety of cross legged postures.] and quietly starting to cultivate.
Right now only Xiao Wu was still awake in the small log cottage. Standing there, her gaze never left Tang San, her eyes revealing a struggling light. In her heart reverberated a voice only she could hear.
‘Mustn’t I leave him after all? If I leave, could we still meet again? But, if I didn’t leave, perhaps sooner or later that Title Douluo that returned with him would be harmful to me. Little San, thank you for this Yearning Heartbroken Red. It let me understand so much. No, I can’t leave, just now I swore never to leave him. Only when I’m together with him will I feel the happiness mama talked about.’
Part 3 (TL by Bagelson)
There was an unhesitating light in Xiao Wu’s eyes. Nobody knew just how fearless she was to make this decision, or just how determined.
The minutes and seconds slowly passed. In a flash it had already been six hours, and the effect of the immortal treasure herbs showed. Besides Xiao Wu, the other Shrek Seven Devils and Grandmaster all now showed different degrees of change.
Dai Mubai who had taken the Singlular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum had by now grown a layer of white fur all over, just like when he summoned his White Tiger for Spirit Body Enhancement. Originally sitting crosslegged, now he lay sprawled like a 大 character on the ground, the four limbs clearly having swollen to twice their original size, the sounds of cracking bones constantly rising from his body.
His three spirit rings were flashing with breathtaking speed, from his throat occasionally rose a thunder-like low roar. His whole body quivered with a kind of particular rhythm.
Oscar was the most tranquil of everyone, only sitting there quietly. But his body was emitting a fragrance like the Eight Petal Immortal Orchid, and a faint white mist seeped from his skin, undulating densely around him.
He was the most handsome among the Shrek Seven Devils, and being set off by this white mist even more increased his earthy nobility.
Ma Hongjun’s appearance was the most fiery. By now the clothes on Fatty’s torso had completely turned to ashes, exposing bright red fat. The Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower’s medicinal effect was extremely potent, and his skin constantly exuded thin layers of juices. Fatty’s body looked like cooked shrimp, and even his hair had become fiery red.
Bizarrely, whenever a layer of black juice seeped out of his body, his fat would contract a bit. Xiao Wu standing to the side couldn’t help but think that what Tang San gave fatty to eat was some weight loss drug.
Ning Rongrong’s change was the most magnificent, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda floated in front of her in a halo of seven colored light, three rings of light flickering within, set off by a layer of intense golden light.
This golden light was released from Ning Rongrong herself, bringing a strong tulip fragrance, a gem like light moving within, just like a fairy descended to the mortal world. Each time the golden light strengthened, it seemed Ning Rongrong’s Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda became even more beautiful and dazzling.
Ning Rongrong’s golden light and Oscar’s white mist seemed to give off a mutually attracting feeling. The white mist and golden light flowed together in the air, the two fragrances mixing together, creating a kind of incomparably cozy scent.
Even Tang San didn’t know that the Beautiful Silk Tulip Ning Rongrong ate and the Eight Petal Immortal Orchid Oscar ate were a pair of mandarin duck[ Any animals in pairs can signify love or couples, but mandarin ducks especially so.] herbs, with a complementing effect just like the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Infernal Precious Apricot he ate.
Similar circumstances arose for Zhu Zhuqing and Dai Mubai, but it wasn’t because of any relationship between their herbs, but rather because of their spirit fusion ability.
After Zhu Zhuqing ate the Daffodil Jade Flesh Bone, a layer of faint jade light spread all over her body. Different from Dai Mubai who lay spread eagled on the ground, she moved from crosslegged to standing upright as the medicinal effect released, standing there with both hands crossed over her ample chest, quietly absorbing the medicine.
As the White Tiger radiance appeared from Dai Mubai, it was echoed by Zhu Zhuqing’s Black Civet, their breathing completely in sync, each inhalation and exhalation fitting each other.
Grandmaster sat there very serenely, his whole body suffused with a faint purple light. Even though his appearance wasn’t as fiery as Ma Hongjun, just like Ma Hongjun his body was constantly exuding a layer of black fluid.
The Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower and the Nine Treasure Purple Zoysia both had the effect of rebirth. This was something Tang San had neglected to mention.
Right now Tang San’s own reaction wasn’t very large, only his head was enveloped in a layer of pure golden light, the golden light constantly condensing towards his eyes like threads of silk or strands of hair.
Xiao Wu stood there holding the Yearning Heartbroken Red, quietly sniffing its rich fragrance. Her gaze only rarely swept across the others, and was otherwise fixed on Tang San.
The sun ascending in the east gradually began to descend in the west. The first to awaken from cultivation was the one who had taken the gentlest herb Eight Petal Immortal Orchid, Oscar.
Stretching his arms wide, Oscar opened his eyes as if he had just woken up from sleep,
“So comfortable!”
Xiao Wu glared at him, saying in a low voice:
“Everyone else are still cultivating, lower your voice.”
Oscar blinked, only then discovering the others sitting around him, hastily covering his mouth he stood up.
Xiao Wu looked him up and down a few times. She found that the earthen noble air that had appeared on his body when he absorbed the Eight Petal Immortal Orchid hadn’t faded when cultivation ended, and his whole body looked like it was covered in a layer of glossy luster.
“Is anything different?”
Xiao Wu quietly asked.
Oscar looked distracted a moment, remembering to sense the changes to his body.
Very quickly his expression became odd, a double mood of pleasant surprise and disbelief. The smile on his face gradually grew, and if it hadn’t been for the others right now cultivating around them, perhaps he might have laughed out loud right now.
“What? Don’t cover your mouth.”
Xiao Wu slapped Oscar’s hand.
A burning excitement appeared in Oscar’s eyes,
“Amazing, it’s really too amazing.”
“Amazing your head.”
Xiao Wu glared at him,
“Speak quickly, what is it?”
Oscar grinned, holding out a hand, shaking it in front of Xiao Wu,
“Five ranks, my spirit power increased a full five ranks, this is just too unbelievable. I’ve already reached the thirty eighth rank. Heavens, I’ll overtake Dai Mubai soon.”
Even though he had guessed that the immortal treasure herb Tang San gave him would have a very good effect, hearing it from his own mouth was still different. One Eight Petal Immortal Orchid had actually helped Oscar’s spirit power leap up five ranks.
In other words, right now they were on more or less the same average spirit power as those Emperor Team Spirit Masters who were five years older.
“What are you squawking for, isn’t it just five ranks? Then I’m still better off.”
Ning Rongrong’s voice rose from the side. The golden light over her body was already completely gone, her right hand supported her Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, and underneath the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda was a tulip petal like golden outline.
Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu smiling looked face to face,
“I’ve improved six ranks, thirty seventh rank.”
Oscar couldn’t help say:
“This must be a dream. If cultivati
on were to become this easy hereafter, then what would there still be to work hard for? Every day we’d just eat flowers.”
Xiao Wu curled her lips,
“Don’t go dreaming. Little San said that you can’t eat several of these immortal treasure herbs, eating more will instead be harmful. Are you still dissatisfied with gaining five ranks? Grandmaster said that the younger the easier it is to cultivate. You’re still just fifteen.”
Ning Rongrong excitedly said:
“I really didn’t expect that I would advance so much so shortly after just breaking through the thirtieth rank juncture. Maybe before long we’ll also be able to reach the fortieth rank. Moreover, I feel that my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda seems to have changed a bit, even if I can’t say just how it has changed, I still feel somewhat abnormal.”
Oscar lowered his head to look at the pagoda in Ning Rongrong’s hand, then suddenly called out,
“I know.”
Ning Rongrong covered his mouth,
“Be a bit quiet.”
Oscar pulled away Ning Rongrong’s hand from his face, deliberately lowering his excited voice,
“Rongrong, Rongrong count quickly, how many layers does your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda have.”
Ning Rongrong looked distracted, then paid attention to her pagoda,
“One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine. Nine? Why, how did it become nine?”
Ning Rongrong only felt a heat rush from her heart. Right now, even her voice trembled. What did the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda becoming nine layers mean?
It meant she no longer had a Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, but rather the legendary Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, the lifelong goal of her father, Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School master Ning Fengzhi. And now she had actually reached it herself.
Ning Rongrong couldn’t keep her gaze from turning to Tang San. If it hadn’t been for Xiao Wu, right now she would have had the impulse to devote her life to him.
Only the directly related members of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School understood the meaning of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. All of this really was far, far too significant to the entire Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
After a brief excitement, Ning Rongrong gradually calmed down, but the hand supporting the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda still trembled. She knew that Tang San’s kindness no longer affected just her, but the entire Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. It seemed she would have to make a trip back home.
“Have you absorbed them well?”
This was the moment Tang San’s voice rose, standing up from the floor with both eyes closed.
“Third brother.”
Ning Rongrong suddenly pounced at him, giving Tang San a big hug, both hands around his neck, kissing his face hard.
Her actions made Tang San dumbfounded, and even Oscar and Xiao Wu were stunned, both their faces becoming somewhat strange. Fortunately, what Ning Rongrong said next made them relieved.

Part 1 (TL by Bagelson)
Ning Rongrong kissed Tang San hard on the mouth, saying to Tang San while under the monstrous gazes of Xiao Wu and Oscar:
“Third brother, thank you, thank you so much. Even though I know the words ‘thank you’ are far from enough to repay your favor, I really don’t know what else to say. If you didn’t already have Xiao Wu I would definitely come after you. Third brother, see, my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda already changed to Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, in other words, I no longer need to follow the clan restrictions.”
Tang San raised his hand to touch Ning Rongrong’s head,
“We’re comrades, what are you doing talking like that.”
While speaking, Tang San slowly opened his eyes.
Instantly, the whole room seemed to shine. Ning Rongrong who was closest to Tang San clearly saw his eyes completely become golden purple, and as that dazzling light entered her eyes she felt her vision go white, leaving her completely unable to see anything.
Tang San’s gaze swept from the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda in Ning Rongrong’s hand. When that golden purple light in his eyes fell on Xiao Wu his entire body suddenly trembled violently once, his facial expression becoming entirely strange.
Even though Tang San had already moderated the light in his eyes somewhat, when Tang’s gaze turned to Xiao Wu she had a kind of feeling as if being seen through. Her pulse suddenly sped up, ‘Don’t tell me he saw something?’
While Xiao Wu’s heart leapt into her throat, the light in Tang San’s eyes diminished and returned to normal. With his usual expression he looked down at Ning Rongrong and said:
“Rongrong, it’s alright. I just lost control of my eyesight.”
The white in Ning Rongrong’s eyes gradually faded, and she recovered her eyesight,
“Third brother, what was that ability? Why couldn’t I see anything?”
Even though she had already recovered, she still didn’t quite dare look Tang San in the eyes.
Tang San smiled:
“This is my Purple Demon Eye. If I’m not mistaken, my Purple Demon Eye has risen another level.”
The Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew was worthy of being called a jewel of immortal treasures. Even if it hadn’t increased Tang San’s spirit power it had still let his Purple Demon Eye pass the detailed level, directly entering the third phase of Purple Demon Eye’s four layers —— mustard seed.
Furthermore, Tang San’s Purple Demon Eye had also changed a bit because of the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew’s effect.
It was no longer just a supporting effect.
“Little San, congratulations.”
Xiao Wu walked up to Tang San’s side, speaking with a smile. At the same time she was staring closely at Tang San’s eyes, as if she was searching for something in his expression. Unfortunately, no matter how she looked he was still the same as always, apparently with nothing amiss.
Rubbing Xiao Wu’s head,
“If you agreed to eat the Yearning Heartbroken Red, the benefits to you should be the biggest of all of us. It’s an immortal treasure among immortal treasures. Whether in life or death, flesh or bone, it has the effect of heaven, earth and nature. And right now you’re the only one who can eat it.”
Xiao Wu held the Yearning Heartbroken Red to her chest,
“I won’t, I’ll never eat it. I’ll always keep it with me.”
“Miao——”
A soft cat’s call drew their attention. As they turned to look they found that Zhu Zhuqing had opened her eyes at some point, and was looking around with her beautiful eyes, her expression somewhat vacant, as if she had woken up from a dream.
“Zhuqing, how much did your spirit power rise?”
Xiao Wu seemed to recover her normal liveliness and bounced over.
Zhu Zhuqing hesitated a moment,
“Apparently, apparently seven ranks?”
“What are you calling apparently, seven ranks is seven ranks.
”
Xiao Wu giggled. Using her body to keep the others from seeing, she raised her hands and groped Zhu Zhuqing’s chest,
“Don’t worry, you’re not hallucinating.”
“Ah——”
Zhu Zhuqing cried out in alarm at Xiao Wu’s groping, her charming face immediately blushing deep red,
“What are you……”
Xiao Wu resolutely said:
“I’m helping you realize it’s real. I didn’t expect your Daffodil Jade Flesh Bone to be even more effective than theirs. Actually boosted seven ranks. Then don’t you have thirty eighth rank spirit power now?”
Zhu Zhuqing’s gaze floated over to Tang San behind Xiao Wu. While Xiao Wu vigilantly blocked her, afraid she’s pounce like Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing bowed slightly to Tang San,
“Third brother, thank you.”
Tang San smiled faintly, saying:
“We’re all comrades, there’s no need for thanks. Actually, it’s not that Zhuqing’s Daffodil Jade Flesh Bone is more effective than anyone else’s, it’s just that these immortal treasure herbs all take effect differently. For instance, each immortal treasure herb’s effect is around ten ranks of spirit power or so, but with the principal effect manifesting by transforming the body, the spirit power increase will be less. Like little Ao’s Eight Petal Immortal Orchid has a comparatively slow absorption process, requiring an imperceptibly influential process. So it will only boost five ranks.”
Zhu Zhuqing a bit concerned said:
“But then, wouldn’t our strength increase too quickly? Grandmaster once lectured us that cultivation has to be done incrementally, that the foundations are most important.”
Tang San said:
“Don’t worry, that’s no problem. These immortal treasure herbs strengthen foundations. Not only won’t your foundation be shaken, it will on the contrary even deepen. I think you will be able to understand it yourself as you cultivate later.”
