In the Sea God Pavilion's council hall, Xiao Yi sat upright in one of the newly added seats. Seeing the shock on the faces of the white-haired elders filling the room, he could not help but find it a little amusing.
After Elder Yao had recovered from his wild joy and excitement, he had specifically sought Xiao Yi's consent before immediately finding Elder Mu and urgently convening this Sea God Pavilion meeting.
At this moment, every senior elder present had their eyes locked firmly on the round table in the center of the hall. All manner of rare immortal herbs were piled atop its surface in layer upon layer, heaped into a mountain in quantities beyond everyone's imagination.
Xiao Yi had just demonstrated his method of cultivating immortal herbs once again before all the senior elders.
Having witnessed that miraculous operation that defied all common sense with their own eyes, every elder present felt the understanding they had built over decades, even centuries, shatter completely at that moment.
Those who could attain the rank of Titled Douluo had all been exceptionally gifted geniuses in their youth. Shrek's senior elders understood the wondrous uses of immortal herbs better than anyone.
The first generation of the Shrek Seven Monsters had relied on several peerless immortal herbs to undergo a complete transformation, rebuild their foundations, and ultimately all ascend to godhood. It was a legendary tale known throughout the Douluo Continent.
Many of the senior elders present had traveled across the continent's famous mountains and great rivers in their youth, exhausting themselves in search of immortal herbs. Yet even after half a lifetime, they had found nothing—not even a trace of a genuine immortal herb.
Even Mu En, who had seen all manner of storms, wore an expression of undisguised shock and bewilderment.
