Sending Out Immortal Herbs (Part 1)

After the Shrek Academy group had gone far away, the leader of Spirit Hall's Soto Main Hall dragged the brother who had lost the bet out of the crowd and gave him a vicious beating. Damn it, he had seen people screw others over before, but never someone screwing over his own brothers this badly. If the Law Enforcement Hall found out that they had blocked an elder's path and even intended to harm him, none of them would escape being purged.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and the heavier his blows grew. He completely ignored the brother's screams until he had broken three of his ribs and one of his legs before finally stopping. "I'm crippling one of your legs today, you bastard. You nearly got all of us killed. Once we get back, you can leave the Guard Team."

"Boss, no! Without my Guard Team status, I'll be beaten to death!"

"Pah! You'd deserve it if you were beaten to death! Who told you to urge us into action without checking things properly? Luckily, the elder was merciful and didn't pursue our responsibility." The leader spat at him and spoke viciously. But when he saw the injuries the man had suffered from his beating, he felt a little reluctant. "Two of you, carry him home. Don't let him die on the road."

"Yes, Boss." Two guards carried the injured guard away.

More than ten kilometers away, Liu Erlong had watched Spirit Hall's Guard Team retreat just like that after Yu Xiaogang took out a token. She was extremely curious, so she looked at Huang Tian and asked in confusion, "What was that thing Xiaogang showed Spirit Hall's Guard Team just now? Why did they voluntarily step aside when both sides were about to fight?"

Huang Tian curled his lip. "He showed the Guard Team Spirit Hall's Pontiff's Token. Seeing that token is equivalent to seeing the Pontiff. In Spirit Hall, offending a superior is a very serious crime. If others found out, their entire Guard Team would be purged by Spirit Hall."

"That token in his hand was given to him by that woman, wasn't it?" Liu Erlong said unhappily.

"That's right. Yu Xiaogang and Bibi Dong have always exchanged letters, discussing and sharing knowledge about soul beast soul ring theories. They both learned a great deal from each other, which is why Yu Xiaogang became a renowned theory Grandmaster across the continent. Added to their old relationship, Bibi Dong specially approved that Pontiff's Token for him and gave him the status of an honorary elder as well, all to protect him."

Huang Tian stated the truth outright.

Tang Yuehua said curiously, "So that's why Yu Xiaogang became a Grandmaster."

Huang Tian glanced toward the academy and smiled. "All right, there's no more excitement to watch. They'll be back at the academy soon, so let's head back too." A distance of just over ten kilometers was nothing to him. With his current Soul Power, he could easily scan tens of thousands of kilometers.

"Mm."

With a wave of Huang Tian's hand, he opened a Spatial Tunnel leading directly to Shrek Academy's plaza. The three entered it and appeared on the plaza the very next second.

After closing the Spatial Tunnel, the three paced around the plaza and waited for the others to arrive.

When Flender and the others returned to the academy and saw the three wandering around the plaza, they knew they had been waiting for them. Xiao Wu ran to Liu Erlong's side, hugged her right arm, and said with a smile, "Aunt Erlong, did you know? Some bad people blocked us outside just now. The Headmaster and Teacher Zhao nearly fought them. I was terrified—I thought I wouldn't be able to come back!"

Liu Erlong stroked Xiao Wu's rabbit ears and said gently, "Silly child, Auntie saw everything. Don't worry. With Auntie protecting you, no one can hurt you."

Xiao Wu was instantly moved, tears welling in her eyes. "Aunt Erlong, you're so good to me!"

Perhaps because of fate, Xiao Wu and Liu Erlong had gotten along exceptionally well over the past two days. Although Liu Erlong had learned Xiao Wu's true identity at the Great Soul Arena today, she did not dislike Xiao Wu in the slightest. Instead, she treated her even better.

"Silly child, why are you crying? Don't worry, Auntie means every word. Even if Auntie can't defeat someone who wants to hurt you, you still have your uncle. He's a Soul Master who became a god at level one hundred. Who on the Douluo Continent could possibly defeat him?" Liu Erlong hurriedly comforted her. To put Xiao Wu at ease, she even pulled Huang Tian over.

Huang Tian patted Xiao Wu's head and smiled. "Girl, don't worry. Whoever dares lay a hand on you, we'll make sure they pay dearly."

Xiao Wu lowered her head and said timidly, "Thank you, Uncle."

Tang San walked over and looked at Xiao Wu. "Xiao Wu, don't worry. Whoever dares touch you, I'll fight them to the death."

"That's right, Sister Xiao Wu. Whoever dares hurt you, I definitely won't spare them." Ning Rongrong raised her little fist, waved it twice, and spoke fiercely. Yet to everyone else, she looked adorably fierce.

Flender said somewhat dejectedly, "Xiao Wu, it's because the Headmaster is incompetent and couldn't protect you all, making you suffer this grievance today. Once you reach Blue Tyrant Academy, this problem won't happen again."

"Headmaster, I'm not blaming you," Xiao Wu hurriedly said. That was not what she meant. Spirit Hall's people were simply too hateful. Not only had they killed her mother, but they had continued searching for her whereabouts. When Spirit Hall's people unexpectedly blocked them today, it reminded her of the time she and her mother had been hunted down together. The entire journey back, she had been on edge, afraid that Spirit Hall would hunt her down again.

"It's all right, Flender. You neglected your cultivation over the years. Otherwise, you couldn't possibly be only a level seventy-eight Soul Sage. At the very least, you should have reached the level of a Soul Douluo." Yu Xiaogang patted his old friend's shoulder and comforted him.

Liu Erlong smiled. "Old Flender, feeling discouraged? Once we return to Blue Tyrant Academy, I'll give you an Immortal Herb. After you take it, it can cleanse your Soul Power, improve your talent, and help you cultivate faster."

"Aunt Erlong, you have Immortal Herbs?" Xiao Wu asked in confusion.

Liu Erlong stroked Xiao Wu's head and smiled. "Silly child, Auntie is a Title Douluo, and your uncle is a god. It's perfectly normal for us to have Immortal Herbs. The Douluo Continent isn't that large. As long as we are willing to spend time searching, we can definitely find some."

Immortal Herbs... right! Why hadn't I thought of Immortal Herbs? Tang San said excitedly, "Teacher, I have an idea. As long as you take a suitable Immortal Herb, you can break through level thirty, and cultivation will no longer be an obstacle for you."

Yu Xiaogang sighed. "Little San, there are so many kinds of Immortal Herbs. Who can guarantee which one would be useful?"

However, Liu Erlong took out a pile of Immortal Herbs from her Spatial Soul Tool. "Look, I have so many Immortal Herbs: Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid, Aromatic Silk Beauty, Narcissus Jade Muscle Grass, Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower, Blazing Fire Apricot Delicate Glaze, Thousand Year Mysterious Ice Grass, Gazing Through Autumn Water Dew, Lovesick Heartbreak Red, Dragon Blood Grass, Vajra Glazed Grass, and Thousand Year Crystal Blood Ginseng."

"Wow, so many Immortal Herbs!" Ning Rongrong's blue eyes nearly turned red. She had never expected that Immortal Herbs, normally so difficult to find, would now be laid out before her like ordinary cabbages.

"So these are Immortal Herbs? They smell so good." Ma Hongjun nearly drooled as he inhaled the fragrance coming from them.

When Huang Tian saw Liu Erlong take out so many Immortal Herbs at once, he was completely dumbfounded. Silly wife, although Immortal Herbs are worthless to us, you didn't have to be so generous and take out this many. Great, now we have no choice but to give them away. With so many people staring at them eagerly, we can only hand them out.
