Arrival at Seven Treasure City
A few days later, representatives from the Spirit Hall finally arrived and began to take over the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and this Medicine Valley.
To be more precise, the people who took over were Pharmacists belonging to the Yue Guan and Zhou Family Joint Chamber of Commerce. Their expertise in caring for herbs was in no way inferior to that of Poison Douluo, and they even surpassed him in terms of knowledge related to pharmacy.
At least these people wouldn't be unfamiliar with celestial-grade items; there are so many celestial-grade items here that the clusters of Spirit Medicine are overshadowed by the presence of weeds.
"Look at the plant in the center of that cold spring! It looks like the legendary Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass! My God! It actually exists!"
"That's not all! Look at the center of that hot spring, that plant that looks like a cabbage. If I'm not mistaken, that's the Infernal Delicate Apricot, a plant with both extreme cold and extreme heat properties. It's incredible that it can grow in the same area!"
"Look again at the confluence of the two springs, that's absolutely Aromatic Silk Beauty! A barrier against all poisons! No wonder poisonous herbs and divine medicines can grow together here, what a wonder, what a wonder!"
A group of Pharmacists, with an average age of over fifty, gathered together, their eyes shining as they commented on all the herbs in the Medicine Garden, occasionally erupting into heated debates.
Dugu Bo stood aside silently, watching and gazing at the group of people.
These are all mine, mine!
--"Whoosh!"
Zhou You ruthlessly plucked an Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid and placed it into a jade box he had prepared beforehand.
In addition, there is the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower, which contains pure Yang energy; the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng, which can bring the dead back to life and heal flesh and bones; the Autumn Water Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew- ray vision; and the Aromatic Silk Beauty, known as the "King of Immortal Herbs "...
As for other rare and precious medicinal Spirit Medicine whose effects are slightly inferior to those of immortal herbs but are still amazing, such as the Nine-Grade Immortal Ganoderma, Snow Silkworm, and Cinnabar Lotus, he collected countless of them.
Dugu Bo clutched his chest; he could hardly breathe!
Over the past few days, Dugu Bo has watched the boy classify and categorize the medicinal herbs in the Medicine Garden, and has thus realized the extremely high value of the immortal herbs.
After all, this rare plant is a solitary specimen here, meaning that once it's picked, it's gone!
Anything that becomes a unique item will increase in value even if its worth is unknown. Besides, given Zhou You's personality, he wouldn't buy something that has no value whatsoever.
Dugu Bo felt like he was about to develop angina. All of this was mine, all of it was mine!
Zhou You turned around and saw Dugu Bo looking like he had lost his parents, so he couldn't help but roll his eyes.
Is it really necessary?
Those you picked were all solitary plants!
"Do you know why they are solitary plants?"
Normal plants, once placed in a suitable location, will generally grow into a large patch quickly. After all, "reproduction" is the instinct of all species, even Spirit Medicine.
However, Spirit Medicine require even higher energy levels, and are generally difficult to cultivate in the outside world. Even if they are occasionally seen, there are only a handful. Only in special treasure lands like the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well can Spirit Medicine grow in large swaths like weeds.
Even such a special place is not enough to cause a large number of immortal items to proliferate. It is already a miracle that different immortal items can be gathered together.
After all, according to the original timeline, these immortal items have a chance to transform into intelligent plant-type Soul Beasts, starting at the level of Ferocious Beasts.
"Only by taking these celestial herbs can new ones continue to grow. As long as this environment remains intact, new rare and precious materials will be produced here continuously."
"Senior, you're practically a Pharmacist yourself, you should understand that hoarding a single herb like a miser won't generate any value."
"Of course, I didn't touch those special Immortal Herbs like Snow-Colored Swan Kiss and Aromatic Silk Beauty."
These two divine items are like nuclear bombs among poisons: one can greatly enhance and catalyze other toxins, and the other can shield toxins within a certain range. Neither is suitable for leaving Medicine Valley Medicine Garden Valley.
What could Dugu Bo say? He could only accept it.
As the Medicine Valley gradually got on track, Dugu Bo saw that the Pharmacists were indeed taking good care of the Medicine Garden, and his resistance lessened considerably.
He used to take care of these Spirit Medicine all by himself, which was quite tiring. The arrival of these Pharmacists has relieved him of some of the burden.
After settling everything here, Zhou You and his group, along with Dugu Bo and his grandson, finally left the Medicine Valley and the Sunset Forest.
Xue Qinghe's been pressing them quite urgently; they've been sending letters almost daily these past few days, inquiring about my well-being...
So they set off again towards Seven Treasure City.
This time, however, there were no unexpected incidents.
Having left the gathering place of Soul Beasts, those who had ulterior motives in secret no longer had the opportunity to fish in troubled waters. The three Titled Douluo were enough to make any force back down.
They arrived at Seven Treasure City without any incident, where their master was already waiting for them solemnly outside the city gate.
Many local residents gathered curiously, craning their necks to look at the horse-drawn carriages at the end of the official road.
"Who's coming? Why such a big entourage?"
The prosperity of Seven Treasure City is almost on par with that of Spirit City. In addition, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has always been eager to recruit talented people, thus attracting many Soul Masters to come and join them.
However, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is one of the "Upper Three Sects". Even if it doesn't mind recruiting outside Soul Masters, it would rather have none than to have bad ones. Very few people can be chosen.
The Ning Clan did not directly expel the remaining Soul Masters who failed to join the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, but instead provided them with some assistance so that they could settle down in Seven Treasure City.
In any case, the descendants of Soul Masters are always more likely to possess Soul Master Talents.
These Soul Masters mingled with the local residents, all curiously watching the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect members lined up neatly in front of the city gate—a welcome befitting diplomatic relations.
Then a caravan arrived, and several people stepped out of the largest carriage.
"Hiss—that's it!" Someone suddenly gasped, as if they had seen something incredible.
"What? Brother, did you see something?" someone asked hurriedly.
The man rubbed his eyes, making sure he wasn't seeing things, still unable to believe it.
"Look at that person, dressed in a golden robe, exuding an air of nobility."
"How is that person?"
"If I'm not mistaken, that person is Chrysanthemum Douluo of the Spirit Hall, and also the author of that Thesis in the Spirit City Communications a few years ago, Yue Guan!"
"Ah! It's him? How come he looks so young?"
"You're really ignorant. As Titled Douluo, Chrysanthemum Douluo naturally has the art of preserving his youth. I've also heard he's a Pharmacist!"
There were quite a few well-informed people in the crowd. Although Yue Guan rarely ventured out into the outside world, he had appeared in newsletters, and many people still had some impression of him.
Similarly, the Gui Mei's identity was also recognized.
However, this gentleman wasn't as fond of showing off as Yue Guan, and especially disliked being surrounded by crowds.
Therefore, as soon as he stepped off the carriage, he cast his cold gaze upon the crowd. Even in broad daylight, it was as if a chill had swept through, causing the onlookers to shiver.
I don't know if it was from the cold or from being scared.
