Jin Yan's gaze was fiery as he looked over the Immortal Herbs surrounding him.

He was already calculating how to distribute this vast collection of Immortal Herbs.

"Isn't that Yue Guan's Martial Soul, the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum? There's actually one here too." Snake Lance's startled cry rang out.

Jin Yan looked over and indeed saw a large purple flower that greatly resembled Yue Guan's Martial Soul, gently swaying in the breeze.

Jin Yan walked over, took out a jade box from his Soul Tool, and picked the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, placing it inside. Since he had promised them, he would not go back on his word. Once Chrysanthemum Douluo broke through to Rank 96, he would naturally become a member of the Worship Hall. Ghost Douluo would not be able to escape either.

"I still need to prepare some for Grandpas," Jin Yan murmured.

He did not care about claims that Immortal Herbs were better consumed sooner rather than later. There were plenty of them anyway; he could give them to whoever he wanted.

"Boy, where's the detoxification method you mentioned? You didn't lie to me, did you?"

Dugu Bo was now ninety percent certain that Jin Yan had deceived him, but he still could not give up without asking.

Only then did Jin Yan remember Dugu Bo standing nearby. Turning around, he said with a smile, "Senior Dugu, rest assured. I, Jin Yan, have never broken a promise."

Jin Yan walked up to an Immortal Herb. It was a large flower that was entirely purple, with orange-red stamens, vibrant and glistening as though it might drip with color.

"At its root, Senior's poison problem comes from the toxins accumulating inside your body until you can no longer control them. But as everyone knows, animals possess venom sacs. As long as Senior can form a venom sac of your own..."

"That method won't work." Before Jin Yan could finish, Dugu Bo could not help interrupting. "I tried it long ago. I did form a venom sac, but the toxins in my body simply can't be transferred."

As he spoke, he opened his mouth and spat out a dark green bead the size of an egg, holding it up before Jin Yan.

Jin Yan smiled. "Why the rush, Senior? I wasn't finished."

"This Immortal Herb is called the Nether Poison-Dissolving Grass. It is an Immortal Herb capable of dissolving the toxins that have accumulated in your body. Then, you can circulate your Soul Power and guide them into your Poison Core. From then on, none of the toxins you cultivate need pass through your body; store them directly in the Poison Core, and the problem will be solved."

Delight appeared on Dugu Bo's face. He instinctively reached out to take it, but then suddenly asked, "Boy, do you have any more Immortal Herbs like this?"

Jin Yan knew what he was thinking and said, "Senior, don't worry. Dugu Yan's toxins are much milder than yours. I have other methods for her."

Only then did Dugu Bo accept the Immortal Herb with peace of mind.

Jin Yan turned around and picked several more Immortal Herbs. Handing one that resembled ginseng to Zhang Yan, he said, "Uncle Zhang, this Immortal Herb is called Purple Lightning Dragon-Beard Ginseng. It's an Immortal Herb. Absorb it."

"Young Master, this..." Zhang Yan was somewhat at a loss. "You should absorb it yourself."

Jin Yan stuffed the Immortal Herb into his hand and said, "This one suits you best. Besides, there are so many Immortal Herbs here. Do you think I haven't prepared any for myself?"

"There are some for Grandpas too." Seeing that Zhang Yan was about to say more, Jin Yan quickly cut him off.

Only then did Zhang Yan put away the Immortal Herb.

Zhang Yan had followed his grandfather for half his life and had watched Jin Yan grow up since childhood. Jin Yan did not begrudge him a single Immortal Herb.

Jin Yan looked at Snake Lance again and handed him a scarlet Immortal Herb. "Uncle Snake, this is the Sun God Emperor Flower. It contains pure, ultimate yang flame. Take it back and give it to Sister Xue later."

"Alright, little Yan. I'll thank you on behalf of the Young Mistress. I'll head back after Zhang Yan finishes absorbing the Immortal Herb." Snake Lance did not hesitate in the slightest. Since it was not for himself, he accepted it directly on Qian Renxue's behalf.

Ye Lingling stood nearby, feeling a little envious. Though she did not recognize those Immortal Herbs, she had heard her mother speak of their effects.

However, she also knew that she had only known Jin Yan for a short time. Why would he give her such a precious Immortal Herb? She quickly gave up on the idea of receiving one and merely followed behind obediently.

Jin Yan turned and walked to another Immortal Herb. It resembled a water lily, with a round flower bud. Its leaves glimmered with liquid light and bloomed with a seven-colored halo. One look was enough to tell that it was extraordinary.

"Lingling, this..." Jin Yan had only just begun speaking when he saw Ye Lingling still standing in the distance, staring blankly at him. He could not help smiling and beckoned to her.

"Come over. Are you punishing yourself by standing there?"

Ye Lingling stared blankly at Jin Yan, truly stunned senseless by this enormous surprise.

There's one... for me too?

She shuffled over to Jin Yan.

Pointing at the Immortal Herb before him, Jin Yan said, "This Immortal Herb is called the Celestial Water Lily. It is the Immortal Herb best suited for your Nine Heart Begonia. It cannot be picked and can only be consumed here. First, drink the dew from its petals, then slowly eat the stamen."

"I... I understand."

With the Immortal Herbs distributed, Zhang Yan began absorbing his under Snake Lance's protection, while Tuo Ba Xi kept watch from the shadows.

He was already at the peak of Rank 89. Jin Yan estimated that once he emerged from seclusion, his strength would rise to at least Rank 92. Given the strength of his Martial Soul, he likely would not be inferior even against a Rank 94 or Rank 95 opponent.

Ye Lingling also began absorbing the medicinal power of her Immortal Herb. First, she tied up her white hair with a hairpin. Then she bent down and knelt on the ground, her slender jade hands grasping the flower stem as she lowered her head, took the stamen into her mouth, and drank in the floral dew.

After settling his granddaughter, Dugu Bo also found an open area and began absorbing the Nether Poison-Dissolving Grass. Dark green Soul Power enveloped him. Faint snake hisses sounded with every contraction and expansion, while the poisonous mist around him gradually thickened.

Jin Yan conservatively estimated that among them, Dugu Bo would likely take the longest.

Next, Jin Yan strolled around the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, picking all the Immortal Herbs that could be harvested and specifically setting aside Immortal Herbs for Golden Crocodile and the others.

"If Grandpa makes his breakthrough, he'll reach Rank 99. The commotion then definitely won't be small, and he'll need an environment with a high concentration of Soul Power for the breakthrough. This place is quite suitable. I might as well have Grandpa come here to absorb an Immortal Herb in a few days."

As for Tuo Ba Xi, Jin Yan did not prepare any Immortal Herb for him. In the original work, Grandmaster's Nine-grade Purple Ganoderma was quite suitable for him, while the Earth Dragon Golden Melon would suit his grandson, Tuoba Ye.

Thinking about it this way, Jin Yan would soon have two more Titled Douluo under his command. Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo were veteran Titled Douluo, so this could only be considered abandoning darkness for the light.

Naturally, he had not forgotten Li Kai and the others. However, there was no need to give all of them Immortal Herbs. Jin Yan only prepared several precious medicinal herbs for them.

After experiencing so much, Jin Yan no longer wanted to devote his energy to the Soul Master Tournament a few years from now. He might as well cultivate them directly and have them win Soul Bones for him.

In the end, Spirit Hall was bound to take the path from the original work. The continent had been divided for too long and needed someone to unify it.
