Distributing Immortal Herbs (Part 2)

"By the way, Uncle Yue, what about you? Which immortal herb do you plan to absorb?" Since he had already chosen his herb, Lin Yu was no longer in a hurry and asked about Yue Guan's plans.

Yue Guan did not answer Lin Yu's question; instead, he remained infatuatedly staring at the Lovesick Heartbreak Red before him.

Seeing Yue Guan like this, Lin Yu didn't know what to say.

Then, Lin Yu turned his head toward Dugu Yan, who was still trembling on the side.

"By the way, Uncle Yue, since Senior Dugu has joined Martial Soul Hall, his granddaughter is now one of us. Take a look—is there a suitable immortal herb for her here?" Seeing Dugu Yan's frightened expression, Lin Yu spoke to Yue Guan, who was still obsessed with the Lovesick Heartbreak Red.

Hearing Lin Yu's words, Yue Guan turned back and carefully observed Dugu Yan's condition.

"There is indeed an immortal herb suitable for her, but she can only absorb it after her current problem is resolved." Yue Guan glanced at Dugu Yan, said this casually, then turned back to continue staring at the Lovesick Heartbreak Red.

Originally, Dugu Yan was still trembling, but after hearing Lin Yu's words, she looked at him curiously.

Earlier, when she heard the conversation between Yue Guan and her grandfather, she thought there was some kind of grudge between them.

Lin Yu had even threatened her grandfather before. Even though they had now joined Martial Soul Hall, she thought it was already good enough that Yue Guan wouldn't attack her. She never expected Lin Yu to actually ask him—the one who could help her grandfather with the poison—to pick an immortal herb for her.

"What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?" Lin Yu turned his head and found Dugu Yan staring at him, which he found somewhat amusing.

"Nothing, I just didn't expect you to ask him to pick an immortal herb for me." Dugu Yan's face flushed slightly as she looked at Lin Yu.

"Haha, I knew today was lucky. Not only did I run into an Evil Eye Ghost Spider that's long been extinct, but I also found a way to resolve my granddaughter's poison. And now, a Soul Bone has fallen into my hands so easily." Just as Lin Yu was about to say something else, Dugu Bo's voice suddenly rang out.

But when he saw Lin Yu and his granddaughter, especially the lingering flush on his granddaughter's face, Dugu Bo's loud laughter abruptly stopped.

"Boy, what did you do to my granddaughter?" Dugu Bo's originally cheerful voice suddenly turned furious.

"Old Poison, watch your tone." At that moment, Yue Guan's voice suddenly cut in.

Lin Yu turned to look and saw that Yue Guan was no longer fixated on the Lovesick Heartbreak Red.

"Old Poison, do you think the Holy Son of our Martial Soul Hall would fancy your granddaughter? Look at yourself—do you really think your granddaughter is that attractive?" Yue Guan sneered at the enraged Dugu Bo.

Hearing Yue Guan's words, Dugu Bo only grew angrier.

"Dead Chrysanthemum, what do you mean? What's wrong with my granddaughter? Isn't she beautiful? So what if he's the Holy Son of Martial Soul Hall? What right does he have to look down on my granddaughter?" Even though he still needed Yue Guan's help to resolve his poison, Dugu Bo didn't hesitate to snap back.

Grandfathers were strange like that—on one hand, they worried about someone stealing their granddaughter away, and on the other, they got angry when their granddaughter was looked down upon.

Hearing Dugu Bo's retort, Yue Guan was momentarily at a loss for words. He hadn't expected Dugu Bo's attitude to shift so abruptly.

"Senior Dugu, don't misunderstand. I didn't do anything to your granddaughter. I just asked Uncle Yue to find a suitable immortal herb for her." Yue Guan watched the two bickering like children and couldn't help but rub his forehead.

"Huh?" Hearing Lin Yu's words, the anger on Dugu Bo's face froze.

Then, he looked at Yue Guan with some embarrassment.

"Didn't think you, Dead Chrysanthemum, weren't half bad." Dugu Bo's gaze wavered, and in the end, he didn't dare look at Yue Guan for long.

After saying this, Dugu Bo immediately rushed over to his granddaughter.

But seeing Dugu Bo like this, Yue Guan's expression turned strange. "Didn't think this old geezer could actually feel embarrassed."

As if he had discovered something amusing, Yue Guan looked teasingly at Dugu Bo standing in front of Dugu Yan.

"Uncle Yue, have you chosen your immortal herb? Not staring at the Lovesick Heartbreak Red anymore?" Lin Yu was a bit surprised that Yue Guan had stopped focusing on it so quickly.

In the original story, when Yue Guan saw the Lovesick Heartbreak Red on Xiao Wu, he had acted almost manic, even knocking away anyone who tried to harm her.

Hearing Lin Yu's question, Yue Guan looked somewhat disappointed.

"The supreme treasure among immortal herbs, the king of flowers. It is no ordinary bloom—it chooses its master. To pick it, one must think of their beloved with sincere devotion.

Sprinkle your blood on its petals without hesitation. Once plucked, as long as it stays by its master's side, it will never wither.

I have devoted my entire life to Martial Soul Hall, but I have no beloved. I cannot pick this supreme treasure. I'll leave it for someone fated." After saying this, a look of relief appeared on Yue Guan's face.

Hearing this, Lin Yu looked at Yue Guan with surprise and admiration. Few people possessed such magnanimity.

"But I chose a more suitable immortal herb." Yue Guan smiled and took out an herb that looked exactly like his own Martial Soul.

"Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, a neutral-grade immortal herb. Consuming it strengthens the limbs, opens the eight meridians, and can forge an indestructible body. It has no fragrance.

This herb suits me better than the Lovesick Heartbreak Red." Yue Guan's somewhat delicate face gazed at the herb that mirrored his Martial Soul.

"Yan Yan, come absorb this Soul Bone. Then you won't have to worry about the poison in your body anymore." Dugu Bo, no longer paying attention to Yue Guan and Lin Yu, took out a Soul Bone and handed it to Dugu Yan.

"Not just a Soul Bone—Grandpa also brought back a suitable soul beast for you." After Dugu Yan took the Soul Bone, Dugu Bo pulled out a motionless soul beast.

Dugu Bo possessed a Soul Tool that could hold living things—the Ruyi Hundred Treasures Pouch. This Man Faced Demon Spider had been brought back inside it.

"Is that a Man Faced Demon Spider?" Yue Guan and Lin Yu walked over to look at the soul beast.

They both stared at it in surprise, as this type of soul beast was usually found only in the Star Dou Forest. Lin Yu hadn't expected Dugu Bo to bring one back.

"Not bad, right? This is a seven-hundred-year soul beast. I ran into it while searching for the Soul Bone." Dugu Bo said proudly to Yue Guan and Lin Yu.

"Seven hundred years and you're this excited? Xiao Yu's absorbed Soul Ring was over nine hundred years." Yue Guan looked at Dugu Bo with disdain.

"Yan Yan, absorb this soul beast's Soul Ring first, then absorb the Soul Bone." Dugu Bo planned to let Dugu Yan become a two-ring Soul Grand Master before absorbing the Soul Bone.

Although the Soul Bone Dugu Bo found wasn't very high in age, the energy within a Soul Bone was far stronger than a Soul Ring. Becoming a Soul Grand Master first made absorbing the Soul Bone safer.

Hearing her grandfather's words, Dugu Yan agreed.

Then, Dugu Yan directly killed the Man Faced Demon Spider and began absorbing the rising Soul Ring without hesitation.

"Alright, Xiao Yu, now it's your turn to absorb that immortal herb." Yue Guan stopped paying attention to Dugu Yan's absorption—this Soul Ring was nothing to her.

"Okay." Hearing Yue Guan's words, Lin Yu sat cross-legged and began absorbing the Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid.
