20demayo Chapter 16 First Encounter and the Immortal-Dividing Herb
Chapter 16 First Encounter and the Immortal-Dividing Herb
The eye of ice and fire.
As soon as Yang Hui approached this place, his soul power became extremely active, and cultivating here would yield twice the results with half the effort.
Suddenly his gaze fell on the wooden house not far away.
"Who?"
"it's me."
A clear and melodious voice rang out, carrying a touch of girlish charm and pride.
Dugu Yan emerged from the shade of the tree, her pair of emerald green eyes scrutinizing Yang Hui.
She wore a light green outfit, her short, dark purple hair gave her a playful look, and her emerald green eyes sparkled with an unusual light in the sunlight, like two fine emeralds.
Although her face was slightly pale due to the toxins, this only added to her sickly, delicate beauty, making people feel sorry for her.
"You are... Dugu Yan?"
Yang Hui raised an eyebrow and asked tentatively.
Although it was their first meeting, he recognized the other person at a glance.
The Azure Phosphorus Serpent Martial Soul, Dugu Bo's granddaughter, and the vice-captain of the Emperor Fighting Team in the original work.
Do you know me?
Dugu Yan was somewhat surprised, then raised her chin slightly, revealing a hint of smugness, "It seems that my reputation has already spread outside."
Yang Hui smiled slightly.
It seems that Dugu Yan is not as cold as described in the original work; rather, she is more like someone who is cold on the outside but warm on the inside.
Moreover, at this time, Dugu Yan had not yet experienced the setbacks that followed, and her eyes still held a touch of naivety and arrogance.
Of course, he could only say these words to himself.
"I've heard your grandfather mention it."
Yang Hui smiled faintly. "My name is Yang Hui."
"I know."
Dugu Yan walked up to Yang Hui, extended her right hand, and said, "My name is Dugu Yan."
"I heard you're very strong?"
There was a hint of doubt in her tone.
"Genuine or genuine."
Yang Hui shrugged.
"Hmph, I don't believe it."
Dugu Yan snorted lightly, a hint of challenge flashing in her eyes, "Unless you fight me."
"Yan Yan!"
Just then, a deep voice came from behind.
Dugu Bo had opened his eyes at some point and was looking at his granddaughter with a helpless expression.
"How dare you be so rude! Brother Yang and Xiao Hui are our honored guests, and also the grandson of your grandfather's savior. How can you be so disrespectful?"
"grandfather……"
Dugu Yan stuck out her tongue and shrank her neck in a slightly aggrieved manner. "I just wanted to see if he was really that amazing."
"Your granddaughter is quite mischievous!"
At this moment, Yang Wudi, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke with a smile.
Dugu Yan then bowed and said, "Greetings, Senior Yang."
Dugu Bo smiled and shook his head, then stood up and walked to the middle of the three.
He looked at Yang Wudi, his eyes full of apology: "Brother Yang, I'm sorry you had to see this. I've spoiled this girl; she doesn't know how to think before she speaks or acts."
"It's alright." Yang Wudi waved his hand, not angry at all. "Hui'er isn't one to hold grudges."
"Since we're all insiders, I'll speak frankly."
Yang Wudi smiled and pointed to the spot where the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum had previously grown, saying, "Brother Dugu, I have already consumed this immortal herb."
"That's only natural. As I said before, this is your backyard if Yang Xiong is willing. Although I, Dugu Bo, act eccentrically, I am by no means an ungrateful villain. Brother Yang helped me get rid of the poison, and I will remember this kindness and virtue."
Dugu Bo replied with a smile.
He had no complaints even though his savior, who had cured the toxins in his body, didn't share a single herb with him.
"That won't do. We'll stick to what we agreed on before and split it equally," Yang Wudi interrupted without any politeness.
Even if they know they've taken all the credit, the other person won't say no.
However, in social interactions, how can we truly leave no room for compromise?
"That's fine then, I'll leave everything to Brother Yang's arrangements!" Dugu Bo replied.
As a titled Douluo, he naturally sensed Yang Wudi's current aura with keen sensitivity. Yang Wudi's powerful soul force posed a greater threat than when they first met!
This is the effect of taking the immortal herb. If you also know the effects of other immortal herbs, can you take one that suits you?
Previously, he didn't know the efficacy of the medicine, and his body was also suffering from toxins, which is why he dared not take the herb. Now, all these limitations still exist for him.
His mind started to wander.
Even though this behavior was a veiled threat, he showed no dissatisfaction whatsoever.
"Brother Dugu, now that the poison has been neutralized, your body still needs further nourishment. This 'Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower,' shaped like a rooster's comb and entirely golden in color, is a supreme treasure of the fire element."
Yang Wudi turned around, pointed to the remaining immortal herbs, and his tone softened somewhat.
"Once Brother Dugu has recovered, he can take this herb. It will not only further temper your physical body, but will also promote the evolution of your martial spirit, allowing your Azure Phosphorous Serpent Emperor to transform to a higher level."
Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo's eyes lit up immediately.
Martial Soul Evolution!
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
"Thank you very much, Brother Yang!"
This time, he was truly grateful.
Yang Wudi nodded, then turned his gaze to Dugu Yan beside him.
At this moment, Dugu Yan stared wide-eyed at these legendary immortal herbs with great curiosity.
"As for Brother Dugu's granddaughter, there's no need to worry too much..."
Yang Wudi's gaze softened as he walked to the spotless white flower and plant that resembled a lotus root.
"This 'Narcissus Jade Skin and Bone' plant nourishes tendons and bones, and unblocks the eight extraordinary meridians. Most importantly, it can neutralize the cold toxins in the body and transform them into pure soul power."
"After Yan Yan took it, not only was the Azure Phosphorus Snake venom in her body completely eradicated, but her essence and marrow were also cleansed and transformed, and her martial spirit underwent a great evolution."
"What?!"
Dugu Bo was even more pleasantly surprised.
The toxins in his granddaughter's body can also be resolved.
Suddenly, the problem I was most worried about disappeared!
"As for the remaining four plants—Fragrant Fairy Flower, Longing Autumn Flower, Heartbreaking Red of Longing, and Fairy Tulip—how about we each take two?"
As Yang Wudi finished speaking, his gaze swept over the four immortal herbs that emitted a strange halo, his expression indifferent.
These were all recorded in the Yang family's pharmacopoeia, which is why he was able to know the effects of each herb in detail.
He had also studied the immortal herbs, trying to deduce their growing location, but unexpectedly, he eventually discovered that the location was his grandson!
Indeed, the heavens are blessing the Yang family!
"Each of these four immortal herbs is enough to cause bloodshed on the continent."
Yang Wudi slowly strolled over to a large pink flower.
This flower has no leaves, its stamens are purple, and it emits a faint, delicate fragrance. Surprisingly, no poisonous insects dare to approach it.
"This plant is called 'Fragrant Jade Fairy Herb.' It is the bane of all poisons. Wearing it on your body can ward off all poisons in the world. For a master of poisons like Brother Dugu, although this item cannot directly improve your cultivation, it can resolve the violent backlash of the poison in your martial soul, allowing you to better study poison techniques."
Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo's breath hitched.
Avoid all poisons!
For him, who had spent his entire life dealing with poisons and constantly suffering from their backlash, this was an absolute treasure he had longed for.
"This second plant is named 'Longing for Autumn Dew'."
Yang Wudi pointed to a small grass that emitted a pale blue light, "This thing can greatly enhance mental power, and can even cause a qualitative change in people with eye-type martial souls."
"This third one..."
Yang Wudi's gaze fell on the blood-red flower that pulsated like a heart, and a trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes.
"The Acacia Red, a flower of deepest longing and heartbreak. The king of flowers, a flower of the most passionate and sincere. It cannot directly enhance soul power, but it possesses the miraculous power to bring the dead back to life and heal the wounded. To pluck it, one must bind it with blood; if the heart is not sincere, it will wither."
Finally, he looked at the tulip that shimmered with jewels and looked as if it were cast in gold.
"The Qiluo Tulip. This flower has absorbed the essence of the sun and moon for ten thousand years to form, making it most suitable for gem-type martial souls to absorb. It can help those with gem-type martial souls break through bottlenecks and even evolve their martial souls. Unfortunately, neither of our families possesses this type of martial soul, but that doesn't mean it has no value."
After the introduction, Yang Wudi turned around, looked at Dugu Bo, and said with a smile, "Brother Dugu, you can choose two of these four immortal herbs first."
Dugu Bo took a deep breath, suppressing the turmoil in his heart.
He knew that Yang Wudi was giving him face and showing his sincerity.
If Yang Wudi really wanted to take it all for himself, with his current strength, he might not be able to stop him.
"In that case, I won't stand on ceremony."
Dugu Bo pondered for a moment, his gaze lingering on the four immortal herbs.
The exquisite and fragrant fairy-like product was practically tailor-made for him.
With it, one can use poison techniques without worry, and even use its fragrance to maximize the effect of poison techniques without harming oneself.
As for the other acacia flower, though it is beautiful, it is a plant of deep emotions and requires mutual understanding to harvest. For a solitary person like him, it might not be suitable.
Although the Qiluo Tulip is precious, neither he nor Yan Yan possesses a gem-type martial soul.
Only the longing gaze, like tears streaming down one's face...
"I want this 'Fragrant Fairy Flower' and that 'Heartbreaking Acacia Red'."
Dugu Bo replied immediately.
He also gave Yang Wudi face.
The Qiluo Tulip is left for them to befriend the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, while the Wangchuan Qiushui Flower is left for Yang Hui to use.
"The Fragrant Silk Immortal Herb can help me suppress toxins and improve my poison skills. As for the Heartbreak Red of Longing..." Dugu Bo paused, then looked at Dugu Yan, "I'll leave it for Yan Yan."
Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Yang Hui's eyes.
Unexpectedly, this person is even more astute, managing to resist choosing the Qiluo Tulip and the Longing for Autumn Flower!
The former can help you befriend the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, while the latter can enhance the spiritual power of your descendants. No matter which you choose, you should choose one of these two.
"Alright." Yang Wudi nodded, somewhat surprised. "Then the remaining two plants, the 'Autumn Water Flower' and the 'Gorilla Tulip,' will be ours."
