Immortal Herb Compendium (Request Follow-Read, Request Collection)

"Since that is the case, you should go out and gain experience. The deadline is the end of the next Soul Master Tournament."

Qian Daoliu said, "Of course, this is not for you to go out and relax. In three years, your Soul Power must increase by at least ten levels. Can you do it?"

The moment Qiangu Changkong heard he had a chance to go out, he hurriedly agreed. "Grandpa Qian, we definitely won't disappoint you."

Wu Qi made the same promise.

As long as they obtained the Immortal Herbs, let alone ten levels, even an increase of twenty levels was not impossible.

Since Qian Daoliu had agreed, the other worshippers naturally had no objections.

"When you leave is up to you."

After saying that, Qian Daoliu waved his hand. The two understood and immediately withdrew from the Worship Hall.

The two were, after all, geniuses of the Worship Hall. For their safety, Qian Daoliu had no choice but to send people to protect them in secret.

After leaving the Worship Hall, Qiangu Changkong excitedly jumped up. "I finally have a chance to leave Spirit City!"

In Spirit City, he had to endure his grandfather's scolding every day, and Wu Qi was naturally the "main culprit."

How could Qian Jun Douluo accept his own grandson being surpassed by someone his age?

With a mindset of frustration at his failure to live up to expectations, the training he arranged for Qiangu Changkong was inevitably extremely harsh.

As a rebellious teenager, he had long wanted to leave home and venture out into the world. Now, the opportunity had finally come.

Wu Qi lightly patted his shoulder. "Have you already forgotten what Master said when he scolded you? Don't get carried away!"

In Spirit City, the two were protected by their elders, so there were no safety concerns whatsoever. But once they ventured across the continent alone, a moment of carelessness could leave them dead without a burial place.

Come to think of it, leaving Spirit City was their greatest test.

"Besides, Grandpa Qian didn't send us out to play. Don't forget the promise we made!"

Qiangu Changkong responded earnestly, agreeing to every point.

After parting ways, Wu Qi did not return to the manor. Instead, he headed toward Pope Hall.

One of the important purposes of this trip was Immortal Herbs.

He knew nothing about medicinal herbs. He could recognize common herbs, but when it came to rare medicinal herbs like Immortal Herbs, he was practically clueless.

In the original timeline, Chrysanthemum Douluo had recognized Lovesick Heartbreak Red and had even identified which Immortal Herbs the Shrek Seven Devils had absorbed through their auras.

Could it be said that he had conducted extensive research into Immortal Herbs?

Furthermore, Chrysanthemum Douluo's Martial Soul was itself an Immortal Herb.

Of course, Chrysanthemum Douluo was not the only choice if Wu Qi wanted information about Immortal Herbs, but he was the most convenient choice.

As Bibi Dong's two trusted enforcers, Ghost and Chrysanthemum Douluo remained by her side at all times when they were not carrying out missions.

Wu Qi waited outside Pope Hall for an hour. It was not until dusk that Ghost Douluo finally appeared.

"Why are you here?" Ghost Douluo's tone was sinister, with no hint of joy or anger.

He was no stranger to Wu Qi's identity. Seeing him outside Pope Hall, he was curious about his purpose.

Wu Qi bowed to him. "Senior Ghost Douluo, I came to see Senior Chrysanthemum Douluo."

"You're looking for Chrysanthemum Pass?" Ghost Douluo did not understand why, but replied, "Wait here. He'll be here soon."

After speaking, Ghost Douluo did not linger. He turned into a ghostly shadow and vanished without a trace.

About three minutes later, Chrysanthemum Douluo came down Pope Mountain and was caught by Wu Qi.

When he heard that Wu Qi wanted to discuss Immortal Herbs, Chrysanthemum Douluo brought him to his garden.

"Senior Chrysanthemum Douluo, I apologize for disturbing you," Wu Qi said sincerely.

Although Pope Hall and the Worship Hall were in conflict, Yue Guan could not be bothered to hold a grudge against a junior. He replied casually, "Go on. What do you want to know about Immortal Herbs? I don't have much research on them myself."

Wu Qi looked around the garden.

Immortal Herbs contained the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, which Soul Masters could easily sense.

After sensing the surroundings, he was slightly disappointed. There were no Immortal Herbs here.

Thinking about it, that made sense. Given Chrysanthemum Douluo's status, if he obtained an Immortal Herb, he would certainly have to hand it over rather than keep it planted in his garden.

Wu Qi said somewhat awkwardly, "Your Excellency Chrysanthemum Douluo, if possible, I would like all of your research findings."

Yue Guan immediately grew suspicious.

Immortal Herbs were an obscure subject. Even physicians and poison masters with profound knowledge of medicine might not know about them.

How could a child like Wu Qi know about Immortal Herbs so easily?

Could it be that he had found an Immortal Herb but did not know how to identify it?

At that thought, Yue Guan's mind became active. "This sort of thing cannot be explained in just a sentence or two. Why not let me help you identify it?"

Wu Qi pretended to be confused. "I don't have any Immortal Herbs. I only happened to hear someone mention their effects, so I thought I'd ask you for some information. That way, if I encounter one in the future, I won't miss it."

A trace of disappointment flashed through Yue Guan's eyes.

How many ulterior motives could a teenager possibly have? He had probably overthought it.

The information on Immortal Herbs was something he had accumulated over most of his life. How could he simply hand it over?

Wu Qi had already grasped Chrysanthemum Douluo's weakness and proposed an exchange. "Senior, your Martial Soul is called the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum. It is also an Immortal Herb itself, correct?"

Yue Guan did not deny it.

Wu Qi continued, "I know where to find seeds of the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum. I may not know about other Immortal Herbs, but I know the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum very well. So, are you satisfied with these terms?"

The Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum held great appeal for Yue Guan, and he hurriedly asked, "Where?"

Wu Qi shook his head. "Senior, this is a transaction. If I tell you now, wouldn't I lose my bargaining chip?"

"I can guarantee that if you give me the information I want, I will present the seeds of the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum to you with both hands within three years. We can put it in writing. How about it?"

After remaining silent for a long while, Yue Guan agreed.

However, he still kept his guard up and only gave Wu Qi part of the information on Immortal Herbs. With it, Wu Qi could at most learn how to harvest Immortal Herbs and what effects they had.

As for matters such as the growth environments of Immortal Herbs, Yue Guan did not provide them. Of course, Wu Qi did not need that information either.

After leaving behind a written agreement, Wu Qi departed the garden with a full harvest.

To be honest, he had wanted to give Yue Guan a mature plant, but unfortunately, Yue Guan belonged to Bibi Dong.

Yue Guan would certainly be reluctant to absorb the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum. Once Bibi Dong learned of it, it would inevitably become a gift for the Golden Generation.

The two sides were destined not to walk the same path. Wu Qi had no intention of giving away wealth for nothing.

Three days later.

Wu Qi and Qiangu Changkong packed their belongings and, under the watchful eyes of several worshippers, boarded a carriage bound for Heaven Dou City.

It was worth mentioning that Azure Phoenix Douluo entrusted Little Deer to Wu Qi, allowing him to avoid harassment from poisonous creatures during their journey.

Inside the carriage, Wu Qi lifted the curtain and looked into the distance.

The Wu Family of Heaven Dou City was the family into which he had been born.

His appearance had changed greatly over the past few years, so he was confident that the Wu Family would not recognize him.

However, the Wu Family wielded considerable influence in Heaven Dou City, and contact with them would be unavoidable in the future.

Whenever he thought of the Wu Family members' arrogant attitudes, he felt deeply displeased.

It would be best if both sides left each other alone during this trip.

Otherwise, he would not mind shaking the foundations of the Wu Family!
