Battle Through the Heavens II: Three Phases of Peerless Power, One Soul and Four Bodies

The Golden Gang Divine Skill is probably the most cost-effective. After practicing it, one's ability to withstand blows is indeed improved a lot. However, these skills have extremely high requirements for physical fitness, and it is difficult to make progress if the foundation is not solid.

Therefore, Luo Ranyu simply focused on building a solid foundation, honing his finger strength, arm strength, waist strength, lower body stability, as well as his visual acuity and auditory perception. His most frequent exercise was doing push-ups, supporting himself on his fingertips. Initially, each rise and fall felt like bearing a thousand pounds; his arms trembled uncontrollably, and his muscles ached terribly. He often practiced until late at night, so exhausted that he would collapse, only then able to temporarily overcome his insomnia and drift off to sleep for an hour or two.

Even so, when he woke up the next day, his muscles were still sore and weak, and he could barely lift his arms. Only then did Luo Ranyu recall from his memories that body cultivation required the aid of medicine to quickly restore physical strength and nourish the meridians. So he immediately got up, took out the Dragon Soaring Grass and saffron he had prepared in advance from his storage soul tool, mixed them into a basin of bright red liquid, and soaked his arms in it.

As his arm was immersed in the bright red medicinal liquid, he felt a tingling and burning sensation, which was also very refreshing. He felt the soreness in his muscles being dispelled, and his arm and fingers becoming stronger.

Luo Ranyu looked at the remaining saffron on the table.

Well, these should last for another two or three more uses, then I'll have to buy more.

Suddenly, Luo Ranyu took a deep breath, her eyes shining, as if she had thought of something. That's right, isn't Xi'er's martial soul a flower? Could she directly create saffron and other herbs?

Thinking this, Luo Ranyu quickened her pace and ran out hastily.

He twirled his pen in the classroom, waiting a while before finding Hua Xier among the students filing in. Their eyes met as soon as they entered. Hua Xier reacted quickly, smiling and greeting Luo Ranyu before walking to his side. Only after Hua Xier sat down did Luo Ranyu take out a few saffron petals and place them in front of her. Hua Xier looked at the small red flowers with a puzzled expression.

Luo Ranyu explained, "Xi'er, I have a question I'd like to ask you." Luo Ranyu spoke softly, "Can your martial soul create all sorts of flowers at will? Also, are the flowers you create different from real flowers?"

Upon hearing this, Hua Xi'er took the red flower from Luo Ranyu's hand, examined it carefully, and then looked at Luo Ranyu, explaining with great interest:

"Of course! And it looks exactly like the real thing! Look!"

After saying that, Hua Xi'er waved her little hand, and saffron plants appeared one after another, which actually grew out of Luo Ranyu's desk. As the aura of soul power and magic dissipated, the red flowers took shape and emitted the unique fragrance of saffron.

Luo Ranyu smelled the fragrance and bent down to examine it closely.

Yes, it is indeed similar to the one I bought before. I closed my eyes and smelled it carefully, and yes, the scent is very consistent.

He exclaimed in amazement, "This is amazing! It looks just like a real flower!"

Hearing this, Hua Xi'er smiled and then asked, "What other flowers does Brother Ranyu want?" Luo Ranyu gathered the saffron on the table and eagerly replied, "This one, this one! I want fifty catties of saffron!"

Hua Xi'er was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, then raised her eyebrows and smiled with a wink, "Oh, I see. I have as many as you want!"

Luo Ranyu's eyes gleamed as she thanked Hua Xier, "Well, that's all for now. I'll come back to you when I need something."

"Hmm~ By the way, what do you need so much saffron for?"

Luo Ranyu didn't hide anything from her and said frankly, "After body tempering, soaking in medicine can greatly enhance the benefits of body tempering, so I need some herbs for soaking and medicinal baths."

Hua Xi'er nodded blankly, thinking: So that's how it is! In that case, I'll give Brother Ran Yu a little surprise, and he shouldn't find out, right? Body tempering? Medicinal soaking? Oh! I understand!

A week later, Luo Ranyu came to Hua Xier as scheduled to order fifty catties of saffron, and handed over the prepared soul coins directly to Hua Xier.

Hua Xi'er smiled and accepted the silver soul coins. With a light tap of her fingertip, she stored the soul coins into her soul tool. Then, she looked up at Luo Ranyu and said, "Brother Ranyu, wait for me a moment!"

Then Hua Xi'er began to release her martial spirit. A beautiful fairy spirit appeared behind her, holding a bouquet of flowers in one hand and scattering pink light in all directions with the other. Then, the ground began to sprout and grow tender grass and leaves.

In fact, her martial soul is actually the Flower Fairy, but she calls it a flower to the outside world. Anyway, it's the same as Luo Ranyu's martial soul, both of which are unique in the world. So whatever she says it is.

As Hua Xi'er continued to release and channel her soul power into the ground, red saffron flowers began to grow on the surrounding ground. They were fiery red, as red as blood, and fragrant and beautiful. Luo Ranyu felt a moment of guilt because he was going to pick all these flowers, which seemed a bit... However, he quickly suppressed this thought.

Moreover, Hua Xi'er did not hesitate at all. She took the initiative to use her soul power to disconnect all the flowers from the ground, and then put them together and let them float in the air.

In terms of quantity, it far exceeded the fifty jin that Luo Ranyu wanted. Hua Xi'er gestured, causing the large bundle of saffron to float in front of Luo Ranyu.

Hua Xi'er blinked her eyes, held up an index finger, and explained sweetly, "No need to look, you can have them all. My soul tools are all full, and I have nowhere to put them."

After speaking, Hua Xi'er conjured a peony in her hand. Luo Ranyu had seen it before; Hua Xi'er had given it to her before. This flower could restore soul power and stabilize blood and qi. However, before she could make any move, Luo Ranyu noticed that Hua Xi'er's expression became lifeless, her eyes suddenly became unfocused, and then her body went limp and she fell backward.

Luo Ranyu immediately became alert, channeling his soul power and shooting out like lightning, leaving afterimages in the air. Perhaps the speed of his soul power was too fast, because before Luo Ranyu even arrived, three white streaks of light rushed towards Hua Xi'er, lifting her waist, back, and head. Then, in the next moment, his figure overlapped with the white light.

Luo Ranyu's expression changed drastically, and she anxiously called out, "Xi'er! Xi'er!"

Seeing that Hua Xi'er did not react, Luo Ranyu's first spirit ring lit up, and the martial spirit mark on his back instantly changed into the Holy Hall mark. He lightly touched Hua Xi'er's forehead with his index finger, and a pure white spirit power that shimmered with golden light entered her body, connecting Hua Xi'er's physical condition with his own spiritual power.
