Chapter 131: Planting Immortal Grass, Soul Power Breakthrough
"Where's Big Brother..." Tang Hao paused, then asked, "How is Big Brother?"
"Like me, Big Brother misses you too. Brother Hao, please, come back to the Clear Sky Sect with me," Tang Yuehua pleaded sincerely.
However, Tang Hao refused. "Not yet. I still have things I must do."
"It's for that child named Tang San, right?" Tang Yuehua recalled the Tang San that Dai Weis had mentioned. If there was anything Tang Hao still cared about in this world, it must be Tang San.
"That's right. It seems you already know."
"Yes. I originally planned to visit that child and inquire about your whereabouts."
Tang Hao said, "Yuehua, promise me—don't appear in front of Xiao San for now, and don't tell him about me."
"Why? Are you afraid I'll affect his cultivation?"
"Yes. He's still too young and too weak. It's not the time for him to know everything. When he becomes strong enough, I will tell him about me and his mother."
"This..."
Tang Yuehua hesitated for a moment. Her nephew was so close, yet she couldn't acknowledge him. In the end, she nodded helplessly. "Alright. I understand."
"Xiao San, this is my explanation to the sect."
"Speaking of the sect, the Star Luo Crown Prince just visited me, hoping to establish an alliance between the Clear Sky Sect and the Star Luo Empire. Brother Hao, what do you think?"
"An alliance?" Tang Hao looked at her. "Yuehua, what do you think?"
Looking at his well-built frame, it was clear Tang Hao was a straightforward man of action.
His past behavior had proven this—skilled in battle but lacking foresight. For example, he had taken the 100,000-year spirit beast Ah Yin into Spirit Hall territory, leaving her spirit bone buried under a waterfall. In the end, both the bone and Ah Yin herself were taken by Dai Weis.
If the Clear Sky Sect had a brain, it would be Tang Yuehua.
"I promised His Highness the Crown Prince I'd try my best to persuade Big Brother to facilitate an alliance between the Clear Sky Sect and the Star Luo Empire."
Having now met Tang Hao, Tang Yuehua had made up her mind. She said firmly, "For a sect once known as the world's greatest, to hide in the mountains is absurd!
We've endured this for over a decade. Brother Hao, all five elders have reached the Titled Douluo level. With you, our sect will have seven Titled Douluo.
If we ally with the Star Luo Empire, we'll have at least ten Titled Douluo on our side. The moment that happens, the restrictions on the Clear Sky Sect will be lifted!"
"If you've made up your mind, then go for it." Tang Hao stood up and walked toward the window.
"Brother Hao, you're leaving?"
"Yes. I'm tired. I don't want to deal with sect matters anymore. When Xiao San grows up, I'll send him back to the sect."
As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Hao leapt out the window and vanished into the streets below.
Though Tang Hao had left, Tang Yuehua breathed a long sigh of relief. At last, she had seen her long-lost second brother again.
"Since Brother Hao won't let me see Xiao San, I'll just have to keep an eye on him from afar." Tang Yuehua slowly sat down, pondering how she could persuade Tang Xiao to help Dai Weis form an alliance between the sect and the empire.

Meanwhile, Dai Weis and Dugu Bo had arrived at the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire, where they retrieved the Blue Silver Emperor, as well as the seeds and rhizomes of several immortal herbs, including:
Acacia Heartbreak Red
Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone
Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower
Strange Velvet Chrysanthemum
Black Jade Divine Bamboo
Though the immortal herbs themselves had been used, their seeds and rhizomes remained intact. As long as they were replanted at the Yin-Yang Eye, they could be harvested again in a few hundred years.
After replanting the Blue Silver Emperor and the herbs, Dai Weis gazed at the garden with satisfaction.
"It's a shame I didn't bring Nana along. If I had her Black Jade Divine Grass martial spirit to infuse the immortal herbs with plant essence, I might have been able to grow a new batch in just a few years."
Dai Weis picked a few rare herbs, including Ninth-Grade Purple Mushroom, Gengjin Fruit, Dark Night Rose, and various elemental herbs.
If he gave these to Yang Wudi, they could likely be refined into elixirs for spirit masters of all types.
After harvesting, Dai Weis didn't leave immediately. Instead, he sat cross-legged, using the rich spiritual energy of the area to cultivate.
During the two months of his journey, Dai Weis hadn't been idle. Aside from spending time with his two wives, he had been diligently cultivating.
Now, his spirit power had reached the peak of level 63, just a step away from level 64.
Though cultivation was a slow and solitary process, it was fulfilling.
Five hours passed quietly as he bathed in the spring, letting the ice and fire energies cleanse his body. The surrounding spiritual power continued to nourish him.
Boom!
Suddenly, a crackling sound echoed like popping beans. With the help of the spring's energy, Dai Weis broke through to level 64!
Not only that, but the spring had further refined his physical body. Even without using spirit power, or even his spirit, Dai Weis could now uproot a willow tree with brute strength alone.
Emerging from the spring, he felt lighter, stronger, and faster than before.
"This Yin-Yang Eye is amazing. My strength has soared. I should take some of the spring water back for Zhuyun and the others."
Since Zhu Zhuyun hadn't consumed the Eight-Angled Mysterious Ice Grass or Fiery Apricot, she couldn't directly absorb the spring water. It needed to be diluted.
So, Dai Weis diluted a liter of Ice and Fire Spirit Spring in a ton of cold water, planning to test its effect.
He filled a few barrels, stored them in his soul guide ring, spread his ice and fire wings, said goodbye to Dugu Bo, and flew back to Heaven Dou City.
It was getting late, and he didn't want Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuqing to worry.
As expected, when he returned, Zhu Zhuyun was already waiting in his room.
Seeing him, she immediately pouted.
"Weiss, you're finally back! If you didn't return soon, I was going to Dugu Mian's mansion to drag you back!"
"I promised I'd come back. Now come—your husband wants a hug while no one's around."
Before she could protest, Dai Weis wrapped his arms around her delicate figure and kissed her pink lips.
His mischievous gaze drifted to the window...
"Weiss, you're so bad. Don't keep kissing me—I can't breathe... mm..."
Though she said that, Zhu Zhuyun didn't push him away. On the contrary, she hugged him tightly, clearly enjoying it too.
Feeling the heat from Dai Weis's body, as warm as a furnace, Zhu Zhuyun's beautiful eyes sparkled with amusement.
She whispered, "Weiss... did you break through?"
