Chapter 137: Prism Grass, Eight Treasures Glazed Tower
Davis even thought of a way to kill two birds with one stone.
He would wait until the Star Luo Empire grew stronger and then publicly announce that "the Star Luo Empire possesses a magical herb that can rapidly enhance cultivation." He would send his men ahead of time to set up an ambush, staging a sting operation.
If any spirit master couldn't resist the temptation and came to the Star Luo Empire, he would capture them and send them to Anna to enhance her cultivation.
If they were from a major clan or power like the Seven Treasure Glazed Tiles Sect or the Spirit Hall, he would seize the opportunity to demand compensation—both in spirit bones and gold soul coins!
Davis's mind grew increasingly excited. This plan was indeed feasible, but it had to wait until both his own strength and the national power of the Star Luo Empire were enhanced. Otherwise, if too many enemies came and he couldn't hold his ground, it would be beyond embarrassing.
"Herbs? I didn't expect such miraculous things existed in the world."
Ning Rongrong took Davis's words seriously. "So, Brother Dai, you ate those herbs, and that's why your spirit evolved, is that right?"
"Indeed," Davis nodded.
"Then, Brother Dai, do you have any more of those miraculous herbs?" Ning Rongrong asked eagerly, then added, "Don't worry, Brother Dai, I won't take it for free. If there's any herb that suits me, I'm willing to pay five million gold soul coins..."
Davis replied, feigning embarrassment, "Rongrong, it's not that I don't want to help, but these herbs are products of nature, and they're extremely rare. I don't actually have many on hand..."
His meaning was clear: You'll have to pay more!
Ning Rongrong naturally understood the hidden message. She immediately pulled out a black card and smiled sweetly. "Brother Dai, here are six million gold soul coins. Buy something delicious for my two sisters-in-law."
"I told you, Rongrong, this isn't about the money..."
"Six and a half million."
"Rongrong, I..."
"Seven million!"
"Okay, deal!"
Davis agreed without hesitation. Seven million gold soul coins in exchange for a top-grade medicinal herb—he was making a killing. As for the Qiluo Tulip, he wasn't planning to give that away just yet.
"Yes, Brother Dai, here are seven million gold soul coins. I'll give them to you! So, when can I have the herb?"
"Cash and goods. I just happen to have one herb that suits you." Davis then pulled a lush green Prism Grass from his soul guide ring.
Prism Grass, a premium herb Davis had seen in the Po Yi Clan's Illustrated Guide to Immortal Herbs, is green all over, with six mature leaves. It's named for its crystal prism-like appearance.
According to the Illustrated Guide, Prism Grass absorbs the essence of the moon over many years, improves spirit flaws, and is especially ideal for gem-type spirits.
Ning Rongrong's Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda was precisely a gem-type spirit.

The moment the Prism Grass appeared, Ning Rongrong felt her spirit pulse suddenly, a delightful sensation flooding her entire being.
Brother Dai is right. This herb really is perfect for me. Even if it can't evolve my spirit, it can definitely raise my soul power to a new level.
Ning Rongrong's heart stirred, and she asked with a smile, "Brother Dai, can I take the herb here?"
"No problem. Rongrong, we'll protect you. Feel free to eat it. Just eat the six leaves of the Prism Grass. Don't eat the rhizome—it's useless to you."
"Okay!"
Ning Rongrong smiled sweetly. Following Davis's instructions, she parted her tender lips and swallowed the six leaves. Then she sat down to meditate and refine the medicinal properties.
While she refined the herb, Davis and the sisters had dinner. The cold-mixed Blue Silver Grass was crisp and refreshing, the spicy rabbit head full of kick, and the other dishes delighted their palates.
Neither Zhu Zhuyun nor her sister questioned Davis about selling the herb to Ning Rongrong. They chose to trust him—everything was self-explanatory.
Two and a half hours passed quickly. Ning Rongrong slowly opened her beautiful eyes. Her slightly parted red lips curled into a faint smile, making one want to lean in for a kiss.
"How are you feeling, Rongrong? Any discomfort?"
"Hehe, thank you, Brother Dai, for your concern. I feel amazing! My soul power is at the peak of level 29, just a step away from level 30. This Prism Grass is really something—it saved me nearly half a year of cultivation."
Prism Grass is only a top-grade herb, so it only increases two levels? Davis thought to himself.
"Rongrong, release your spirit and see if it evolved."
"Okay." Ning Rongrong nodded, then focused her soul power and softly chanted, "Seven Treasures Transform into Glaze!"
As soon as the words left her lips, dazzling light radiated from her hands. A small azure tower floated gently in her palms.
"One, two, three... seven, eight—eight floors!" Ning Rongrong's eyes lit up as she cried out in joy, "An eighth floor—Eight Treasures Glazed Tower! My spirit evolved!"
"That's right. Congratulations, Rongrong."
"Hehe, thank you, Brother Dai! You're so kind!"
Excited beyond words, Ning Rongrong ran over and gave Davis a big kiss on the cheek.
Seeing this, Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuqing instantly glared at her with murderous eyes. If she weren't the daughter of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tiles Sect's leader, Zhu Zhuyun might've slapped her right then.
Just say thank you—what's with the kiss?! We treat you like a sister, and you're kissing our man?! Do you want to die?
Feeling the daggers from their eyes, Ning Rongrong stepped back awkwardly, scratched her head, and gave a sheepish smile. "I'm sorry, sisters-in-law… I was just so excited… I didn't mean to offend…"
"Alright, alright. I know you just wanted to thank me," Davis said, smiling, not thinking much of it.
In the original story, Ning Rongrong had also kissed Tang San after taking the Qiluo Tulip—right in front of Oscar.
"Hehe, thank you, Brother Dai!" Ning Rongrong bowed in gratitude, then added, "By the way, do you still have more Prism Grass? Our Seven Treasure Glazed Tiles Sect is willing to pay a high price! And if you have other herbs, we'd love to buy them too."
"I don't have any on me, but there's plenty in the treasure land I found. According to my research, Prism Grass is only a top-grade herb. There are even rarer immortal herbs.
It's just that immortal herbs are incredibly rare. If you want some, then prepare your gold soul coins."
"There are even better herbs than Prism Grass…" Ning Rongrong's eyes sparkled as she said, "Okay, Brother Dai! I'll prepare enough gold soul coins when I return. Will you be staying here?"
"Haha, if you want to find me, just come to Star Luo City. As a friend, the gates of the Prince's Mansion will always be open to you."
