**Chapter 362: Holding Back a Strength**

**Chapter 362: Holding Back a Strength**

Soto City, inside Shrek Academy.

Tang San had been here for a while. On the first day, he laid his cards on the table with Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and Oscar.

He also shared a lot of information with them, which made Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and Oscar fully trust him. They began to actively seek his opinions on many matters.

After all, Tang San had been a God King-level existence before he came back. Compared to them, who were second-level gods ten thousand years later, he was countless levels stronger.

Moreover, they were not like Tang San, who had traveled back from ten thousand years later with rich life experiences.

Therefore, to obtain more than just the inheritance of a second-level god in the future, they all worked hard.

Even Ma Hongjun, who was originally the laziest and least enthusiastic about cultivation, began to push himself to strive.

Why? Because Tang San had told him that he hadn't worked hard enough in his previous life. Despite having the chance to inherit the legacy of a first-level god, he failed.

In the end, he was only able to reluctantly inherit the throne of the second-level god, the God of Phoenix. This caused his lover to die in the Douluo mortal world, separating them by life and death.

Therefore, Ma Hongjun was now holding back his energy. In this life, he would never allow himself to inherit only the legacy of a second-level god.

If that happened, he would never be able to forgive himself. The most important reason was that he heard from Tang San that his original wife and her entire family had been abducted by the playboy and lustful Demon Suppression Douluo.

That Demon Suppression Douluo was known as the number one person under the gods in the entire Douluo Continent. If Ma Hongjun didn't become stronger, how could he get his wife back?

If his beautiful, gentle, and affectionate wife was taken away by the Demon Suppression Douluo, Ma Hongjun felt it would be his fault if he didn't grind the Demon Suppression Douluo to ashes.

Of course, the harder he practiced, the stronger the evil fire in him became. This was a troublesome problem, and he could only harm the girls in the surrounding villages.

He was also helpless. He had originally thought that since he knew he would have a wife who loved him so much in the future, he should remain chaste for her sake.

But he couldn't control the evil fire. If he didn't solve the problem, the evil fire would probably burn him to death.

Therefore, he could only secretly say in his heart, "My future wife, I have no choice. You will definitely forgive me, right? Don't worry, when I have you in the future, I will never go out and mess around with other women again."

When Tang San saw this, he said to Ma Hongjun, "Fatty, don't worry. I will take you to the Sunset Forest in the future. There are two kinds of immortal herbs there that are very suitable for you. One is called Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower, and the other is called Fiery Apricot Delicate Shu.

In your previous life, I gave you a Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower. After you took it, the evil fire in your body was purified, and the quality of your martial soul improved sharply. Later, I gave you a ten-headed Scorching Sun Snake inner pill, which allowed your martial soul to evolve into a ten-headed Fire Phoenix."

"Ten heads of a Fire Phoenix? Wow! How majestic is that? A Fire Phoenix with ten heads would scare people to death."

After hearing this, Ma Hongjun's eyes lit up instantly. He had never expected that his martial soul could evolve to that level. No wonder he could become the Phoenix God.

But thinking that all of this was given to him by Tang San, he quickly said happily, "Third Brother, I still have to rely on you in this life. As long as my evil fire problem can be solved in the future, your business will be my business. If anyone dares to show their teeth to you, I, Ma Hongjun, will definitely bite back.

Even if it's that worthless Demon Suppression Douluo, I'll beat the shit out of him with just one word from you."

"Heh... Xiao San, what exactly are those immortal herbs you mentioned? Why have we never heard of them?"

Dai Mubai cast a curious look at Tang San, as if he thought these immortal herbs were quite impressive.

Seeing Dai Mubai's question, Oscar, who was also curious, turned his attention over as well.

Tang San then explained to the three of them, "Immortal herbs are a special type of herb of exceptionally high quality. The growth conditions of these immortal herbs are extremely harsh. Generally, they can only breed in the three major treasure bowls.

Very few people know about the existence of these immortal herbs. It was only after reading the Xuantian Baolu from my Tang Sect that I learned about them and the three treasure bowls."

"Three treasure bowls?" Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and Oscar all looked puzzled. Was there any direct connection between these treasure bowls and the immortal herbs?

"These three treasure bowls do not refer to real treasure bowls but to special geographical environments like the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire, which are blessed by nature.

This kind of geographical environment is an ideal habitat for plant-type soul beasts and can stimulate the growth of natural treasures. The immortal herbs I mentioned were found in the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire."

Tang San noticed the puzzled looks on the three men's faces and continued to explain, "Some of these immortal herbs can specifically strengthen the physique of the person who takes them, such as the Qirong Tongtianju that Dai Lao Da took and the Shuixian Yujigu that Zhu Qing took in the previous life.

Some can improve the quality of martial souls, such as the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower that Fatty took, and some are specifically for ice and fire attributes. Anyway, the effects are not exactly the same, but they all have their own magical uses and will not harm the user's foundation..."

"I see… It seems that the place called Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire is indeed a treasure trove..."

Dai Mubai nodded in agreement. He used to think that taking herbs to increase strength was just a waste of time, but now it seemed that their previous ability to become gods had something to do with Tang San.

Therefore, Dai Mubai, Oscar, and Ma Hongjun looked at each other, then looked at Tang San and said, "Xiao San (Third Brother), please help us with the matter of the immortal herbs."

Tang San felt the grateful eyes of the three but shook his head and said, "We were brothers in the last life, and we are still brothers in this life. How can there be so many words of gratitude between brothers?

Besides, even if it's not for you, I will go to the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire for my teacher to look for the ninth-grade purple ganoderma."

"Xiao San, what did you say…" Dai Mubai suddenly thought of something and said in a strange tone, "I remember your teacher's spirit, and it seems I heard it can only be cultivated to level 29. Isn't it a waste for him to take that ninth-grade purple fungus?"

Tang San shook his head and continued, "The Nine-Grade Purple Ganoderma has the effect of strengthening the body and replenishing energy. After my teacher takes it, he will be able to break through the bottleneck of being unable to cultivate beyond level 29. Although it is not an immortal product, it is still better than an immortal product for him."

Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and Oscar were all astonished. They had heard that Tang San's teacher was from the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family, one of the top three sects.

Even their own family couldn't solve the defect of being unable to break through level 29 for life due to this mutant martial spirit, but Tang San had a way to resolve it. This truly surprised them…
