Immortal Herb

Biodata

Background / History

Immortal Herbs are exceptionally rare medicinal plants sought for their ability to increase Soul Power, improve cultivation aptitude, and potentially transform a martial soul. Their scarcity and value make them a source of strategic interest among powerful soul masters. Han Xing uses information about them to secure Chrysanthemum Douluo's cooperation in travelling to the Heaven Dou Empire. 21 22

Han Xing, Radiant Douluo, and Chrysanthemum Douluo locate a garden of Immortal Herbs at Dugu Bo's Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye after Dugu Bo yields the medicinal garden as compensation. Tang San offers his pharmacological knowledge, but Han Xing and Radiant Douluo refuse his assistance and send him away. 26 27
