In the Medicine Garden, all sorts of exotic flowers and rare herbs bloom in profusion.

Every time I come here, Quan Yi marvels at the wonders of nature.

Dugu Bo, who had been walking ahead, stopped after arriving at the Medicine Garden.

He turned to face Quan Yi and Huo Wu, but pointed to the Medicine Garden behind them.

"Before I leave, I won't say much more. Seeing how you've been preparing my meals these past few days, go over there and pick out a couple of herbs that you like."

Consider this my farewell gift to you all.

Dugu Bo's words were very magnanimous, and his expression was extremely calm, revealing a completely unconcerned look.

The posture he displayed was not feigned.

Although the herbs here are priceless treasures, they are nothing to the small group of Titled Douluo standing at the top of the continent.

Furthermore, after Dugu Bo resolved the deficiency in his poison skills, the importance of these herbs to Dugu Bo was greatly reduced.

However, even so, it was not an easy decision for Dugu Bo to choose to share his Medicine Garden.

This reflects his concern and attention towards Quan Yi and Huo Wu.

Quan Yi understood this as well, but when he saw Dugu Bo deliberately finding an 'absurd' excuse to cover up his true feelings...

Quan Yi couldn't help but chuckle.

Dugu Bo Dugu Bo, who was expecting Quan Yi to be deeply moved, was displeased to see Quan Yi actually laugh.

"What are you laughing at, you little brat?"

Faced with Dugu Bo's questioning, Quan Yi a smile, "I've been thinking for a long time that senior's personality is too arrogant."

They clearly care about us, but they insist on finding a baseless excuse to cover it up.

However, as the saying goes, one should not refuse a gift from an elder.

Thank you for your kind gift, senior. I won't stand on ceremony then.

To express his gratitude, Quan Yi solemnly clasped his hands and bowed, while Huo Wu, standing beside him, hurriedly followed suit and bowed to Dugu Bo in thanks.

Then, Quan Yi directly took Huo Wu's small hand and began to select suitable medicinal herbs in the Medicine Garden.

Dugu Bo froze on the spot, muttering to himself, "Arrogant, arrogant, arrogant?"

Although he was not clear about the exact meaning of the word, by combining the meanings of the two characters, he roughly understood that it was not a good word.

While he was pondering this, Quan Yi had already brought Huo Wu to a soft, delicate red grass leaf.

Upon closer inspection, one can discover that the tips of the grass blades are shaped like a rooster's comb, and that the veins are a reddish-gold color.

The two of them could feel the pure Fire Element aura emanating from the grass just by getting close to it.

Quan Yi pointed to the plant and introduced it to Huo Wu: "This plant is called Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower, and it is a highly nourishing Fire-attribute herb."

According to records, this substance generally only exists in places with strong Fire-attribute, such as volcanoes and Flame Vein. Consuming it will increase Soul Power, Purification flames, and also have the effect of transforming one's body.

In terms of compatibility, this plant is the most helpful to you.

Let's choose this one as the first one.

Huo Wu examined the herb closely. After a long while, she seemed to realize something and suddenly exclaimed, "Isn't this the legendary Phoenix Blood Grass?"

"Phoenix Blood Grass, you know about this herb too?"

Quan Yi initially thought that Huo Wu wouldn't recognize it, but judging from her surprised expression, she clearly knew something about it.

Huo Wu nodded excitedly and explained to Quan Yi, "I have seen related descriptions in the family's secret books."

Legend has it that long ago, a powerful Fire-attribute Spirit Master, while searching for Fire-attribute Soul Beast, accidentally encountered a Five-Colored Spirit Chicken with a trace of Phoenix Bloodline.

The Five-Colored Spirit Chicken has an extraordinary bloodline, but due to the thinness of its Phoenix Bloodline, it is at the bottom of the list of Soul Beast.

Their average cultivation level can only be maintained at the Thousand Year level at most, and very few can break through ten thousand years.

However, the senior at that time was surprised to discover the Five-Colored Spirit Chicken with a cultivation level of over ten thousand years.

The senior, who became curious about this matter, followed the Five-Colored Spirit Chicken and eventually found the Phoenix Blood Grass in its nest.

It is speculated that the Five-Colored Spirit Chicken was able to break through the limitations of its racial talent and successfully enter the ranks of Ten Thousand Year Soul Beast because it had been absorbing the aura emitted by the Phoenix Blood Grass for many years.

That senior at the time would not miss such a treasure. He immediately planned to kill the Soul Beast and seize the Fire-attribute herb.

Unfortunately, just as he was about to snatch it, the Phoenix Blood Grass had just matured and was swallowed directly by the Five-Colored Spirit Chicken.

That wasn't all. After consuming the herbs, the Five-Colored Spirit Chicken transformed into a crimson Phoenix and flew into the distant sky.

It is because of this story that this herb is called Phoenix Blood Grass.

After that, countless descendants searched for this herb one after another, but none of them found it. As a result, the story gradually became a legend, and no one believed its authenticity anymore.

However, it now seems that the legend may be true.

Quan Yi had never heard of the legend that Huo Wu recounted.

His understanding of the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower came from Yun Qiong's compilation of many ancient texts.

Based on Huo Wu's information, we know that this object has appeared in human sight more than once in history.

However, perhaps due to its scarcity, few people know of its existence.

Moreover, although Huo Wu's account was somewhat far-fetched, Quan Yi felt that it was very likely to be a true story.

Because, under the observation of his Scarlet Dragon Eye, he observed Energy Fluctuation on the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower Wutong were similar to those of the Phoenix.

This is also why Quan Yi specifically chose this herb.

He felt that this herb might help the Wutong recover its vitality.

"Hmm, you have a good eye, Xiao Wu. These are indeed the most suitable herbs for you."

If the rumors you mentioned are true, absorbing the herbs might even cause a transformation in your External Soul Bone.

At that moment, Dugu Bo's voice came from behind.

He had originally intended to offer some pointers to the two, but it seemed that Quan Yi and Huo Wu didn't need his guidance.

Quan Yi squatted down and used his Scarlet Dragon Eye to observe the energy flow of the herbs. Then, without damaging the herbs, he gently picked the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower.

"Xiao Wu, you can refine it right here."

Remember, do not chew or swallow. If this herb is even slightly damaged, its medicinal properties will dissipate rapidly.

You only need to hold it in your mouth and absorb its energy using your Soul Power.

Dugu Bo spoke up and reminded Huo Wu of the correct way to absorb the energy.

This is actually the result of his research over the past few years.

Of course, Quan Yi already knew all this; the two of them had already studied the properties of these herbs through information sharing.

After thanking Dugu Bo, Huo Wu took the herbs from Quan Yi and went directly to the Blazing Yang Spring to begin absorbing them.
