Immortal Herb Knowledge, Bibi Dong Hunts Souls
"Ah--!"
Feeling the heat within her body, Bibi Dong unconsciously reached out and probed underwater.
The water in the bathtub splashed gently with her movements, shimmering with tiny sparkles under the light.
That night was exceptionally long.
When the morning sunlight streamed through the bathroom window and bathed the water's surface, Bibi Dong finally regained her composure.
She stood up from the lukewarm water and looked at herself in the mirror with satisfaction.
After being refined by Whale Rubber, her skin became more radiant and her body lines more beautiful.
Thinking of the image that had appeared in her mind last night, Bibi Dong's cheeks flushed again.
"Really..."
She spat softly, but couldn't help but smile.
After calming down, Bibi Dong carefully sensed the changes in her body.
After being tempered by so much high-quality Whale Rubber, her physical fitness was indeed greatly improved.
The limits of the Fourth Soul Ring's endurance will likely increase significantly.
After getting dressed, Bibi Dong headed towards Chrysanthemum Douluo's residence.
Now that the teacher has made arrangements, she naturally wants to visit as soon as possible.
As dawn broke, a light mist filled Chrysanthemum Douluo's herb garden.
In this hazy medicinal garden, various rare herbs stretch their branches and leaves in the morning light.
Bibi Dong walked along the winding stone path and saw the familiar figure in the pavilion in the distance.
Xia Yang sat upright on the stone bench, his posture as straight as a pine tree.
The morning light shone through the thin mist, bathing Xia Yang in a pale golden glow.
At this moment, Xia Yang was intently flipping through a thick ancient book.
His long, slender fingers gently traced the pages of the book, his expression focused and serene.
Bibi Dong had seen this scene far too many times in the past two years.
However, every time she saw him, her heart would still flutter involuntarily.
This morning was no exception; recalling the erotic fantasies she had in the bath last night, two blushes instantly rose to her cheeks.
After a while, Bibi Dong took a few deep breaths to calm her racing heart before slowly walking towards the pavilion.
"What book are you reading? You seem so engrossed."
She asked softly, afraid of disturbing the tranquility.
Xia Yang didn't look up, his gaze still fixed on the pages of the book, and said, "This was just given to me by the teacher; it records some legendary herbs."
"The legendary herb?"
Bibi Dong's eyes widened in surprise, and she exclaimed, "Has your herbalism progressed to this level?"
It should be noted that Xia Yang had only been a disciple of Chrysanthemum Douluo for two years, and during that time, he even had to devote time to studying Cultivation Technique with her.
Such rapid progress is truly astonishing.
"We've already finished learning the basics."
Xia Yang finally raised his head, sunlight illuminating his handsome profile, and said, "The teacher has taught me everything he could; the rest is up to you to figure out."
"This book is the last bit of knowledge he imparted."
Bibi Dong curiously leaned forward, wanting to see what it was that could fascinate Xia Yang so much.
Even her arrival failed to distract Xia Yang.
"The Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass is extremely cold in nature and highly poisonous. Only when taken with a antagonistic immortal Immortal Herb can its poison be transformed into medicine..."
Bibi Dong read the words from the book softly.
Then, the book turned another page.
"The Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, its true form is a giant chrysanthemum..."
With a "snap," Xia Yang closed the book.
"What you do?"
Bibi Dong asked somewhat guiltily, because she realized that her reading had disturbed Xia Yang.
"That's what I should be asking you."
Xia Yang raised an eyebrow at her and asked, "Didn't you break through to Level Forty? Why aren't you hunting for Spirit Ring? Instead, you're bothering me while I'm reading."
"Hmph, I'm here to find Chrysanthemum Douluo to take me on Soul Hunting."
Bibi Dong curled her lip.
"Since you're here to see the teacher, then wait quietly and don't disturb my studies."
Xia Yang's tone was calm, yet carried an undeniable firmness.
He turned the pages again, his gaze once more drawn to the ancient text.
For Xia Yang, this book containing knowledge about Immortal Herb was the most important thing at this moment.
He had put in so much effort to become Chrysanthemum Douluo's apprentice, and now that he was finally able to access the knowledge of these legendary Immortal Herb, he naturally cherished it all the more.
Seeing Xia Yang's focused profile, Bibi Dong had no choice but to sit down opposite him, feeling rather resentful.
After about an incense stick's time, she finally couldn't hold back any longer and asked, "Hey, where did Chrysanthemum Douluo go? When is he coming back?"
They should be back soon.
Xia Yang's gaze remained fixed on the pages of the book as he casually remarked, "You've come at a bad time; your teacher just went to transplant a rare chrysanthemum."
"Judging by the time, it should be time for him to come back."
"Oh..."
Bibi Dong responded, resting her chin on her hands, her gaze involuntarily drifting towards Xia Yang again.
"What's wrong with you today? Why are you staring at me like that?"
Xia Yang finally put down his book and awkwardly touched his nose.
"Who, who's looking at you!"
Bibi Dong hurriedly turned her face away, her ears turning slightly red.
There is no best.
Xia Yang picked up the book again and said, "Just stop staring at me like that, it makes me uncomfortable."
"What an idiot..."
Bibi Dong muttered to herself, but didn't bother him anymore. She just sat quietly on the stone bench, her gaze occasionally sweeping over the blooming flowers and plants in the garden.
A moment later, light footsteps could be heard from outside the garden.
"Xia Yang, come and see this pot of chrysanthemums!"
Chrysanthemum Douluo's charming voice approached from afar, filled with barely concealed excitement, as she said, "Old Ghost specially brought this back for me from the Star Luo Empire, it's so beautiful!"
Xia Yang had just finished reading the last page, so he gently closed the book and stood up.
Bibi Dong also quickly stood up, and the two of them looked towards the source of the sound.
Chrysanthemum Douluo was seen holding an exquisite flowerpot, in which blooming brilliant purple chrysanthemums.
He carefully placed it on the stone platform beside the pavilion, then turned to Bibi Dong and asked, "What do you want? Are you going to hunt for Spirit Ring? Why didn't you consolidate your Soul Power for a few more days?"
"My Soul Power is completely stable, there's no problem."
Bibi Dong answered confidently.
"In that case, let's set off."
Chrysanthemum Douluo was an impatient person and wanted to set off immediately.
"Teacher, I've finished reading this book, here it is back with you."
Xia Yang presented the thick book with both hands.
"Keep it."
Chrysanthemum Douluo waved his hand, his eyes filled with satisfaction, and said, "Consider this your graduation gift from your master."
"This is too valuable."
Xia Yang quickly declined, saying, "This is a record of Immortal Herb that you personally compiled; it's far too valuable!"
"What's so valuable about this?"
Chrysanthemum Douluo chuckled and said, "The information above was collected from various places."
"To be honest, I've never seen any of these Immortal Herb before."
"I even doubt whether these Immortal Herb really exist."
Seeing that Xia Yang still wanted to refuse, he said solemnly, "Please accept it; this is my token of appreciation."
Xia Yang then carefully put the books away.
