"Strange Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum?"
Yu Tianjue nodded, committing Yu Tianjue's instructions to memory, and soon found the immortal herb with the help of an elder.
After plucking the Strange Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum using the method Yu Tianjue had described, Yu Tianheng did not hesitate. He swallowed the flower heart in one gulp and began to chew it thoroughly.
Soon, Yu Tianheng gradually entered a state of meditation, having reached the stage of absorbing the medicinal power.
Seeing this, Yu Tianjue withdrew his gaze, only to turn and find several elders looking on with anticipation, while Yu Yuanzhen seemed to have something he was hesitant to say.
"This is a Dragon Ganoderma Leaf, used for healing and strengthening one's foundation; this is a Snow Silkworm, which warms and supplements the blood and qi while nourishing the meridians; additionally, there is Cinnabar Lotus, which can be used as an ingredient for refining medicine. Besides these herbs, there are several seven-grade and eight-grade Purple Ganodermas here in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. You elders may pick and consume them yourselves. Although their effects are not as potent as the top-tier immortal herbs, they will still be very beneficial to your cultivation."
As he spoke, Yu Tianjue plucked the only Nine-Grade Purple Ganoderma and handed it to Yu Yuanzhen. "Grandfather, this is the Nine-Grade Purple Ganoderma. Its medicinal properties are mild, and it is excellent for nourishing qi and cleansing the marrow. It will be very helpful for breaking through to level ninety-five."
Yu Yuanzhen took the Purple Ganoderma, his lips moving slightly, before he finally voiced the question he had been holding back. "These herbs... are there any that your second uncle could take, something that could improve his situation?"
Hearing this, Yu Tianjue's movements paused slightly.
There were. Of course there were.
The Nine-Grade Purple Ganoderma in his hand was the very herb Yu Xiaogang had consumed in the original story. Although its effects were inferior to immortal herbs, it had helped Yu Xiaogang break through to level thirty, and he had continued to break through thereafter, eventually becoming a Titled Douluo.
When he first learned this information, Yu Tianjue had been greatly shocked.
One had to realize that their "Gangzi" was a super genius who had broken through to level twenty-nine at the age of fifty. Yu Tianjue truly could not imagine how a single Nine-Grade Purple Ganoderma could have such immense efficacy, allowing Gangzi to break through all the way and eventually cultivate into a Titled Douluo.
To be honest, Yu Tianjue did not want to share the herbs with Gangzi at all, even if he was his second uncle in name.
But looking at Yu Yuanzhen's earnest gaze, Yu Tianjue sighed inwardly and pointed to the Nine-Grade Purple Ganoderma in his hand. "Grandfather, this Nine-Grade Purple Ganoderma could likely help Second Uncle break through to level thirty, but given his talent... even if he reaches level thirty, I fear it will be difficult for him to make further progress. Reaching the Soul King realm would be his absolute limit."
"By comparison, it is more important for your cultivation to improve, Grandfather. Our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect only has you as a Titled Douluo. The higher your cultivation, the more stable the status of our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect will be."
Hearing this, Yu Yuanzhen was slightly stunned, but he soon recognized the reality of the situation.
Although emotionally he desperately wanted Yu Xiaogang to consume this Nine-Grade Purple Ganoderma to help him break his shackles and become a Soul Master, he was, first and foremost, the Sect Master and the head of the clan; only then was he Yu Xiaogang's father.
"I understand. Perhaps your second uncle... simply lacks the destiny for it."
Yu Yuanzhen sighed, his voice sounding somewhat low. "Then, Tianjue, do you have a suitable immortal herb for yourself?"
Yu Tianjue nodded and immediately pointed to the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the Blazing Apricot Delicate growing in the yin-yang pool.
"These two immortal herbs are the most suitable for me. I intend to consume them both and then enter this pool to soak and temper my body."
As the words fell, a flash of hesitation crossed Yu Yuanzhen's face.
Just moments ago, when Yu Tianjue had warned the other elders never to touch the pool water, he had sensed it himself. The water was indeed as deadly as Tianjue had described; to enter it rashly would mean certain death. Yet now, Tianjue wanted to voluntarily enter this pool to temper his body?
"As long as I consume these two immortal herbs together, I will be able to enter the pool. Please rest assured, Grandfather, I know what I am doing."
"If that is the case, then go. I will not consume this Nine-Grade Purple Ganoderma yet; someone needs to stand guard here."
Under Yu Yuanzhen's watchful gaze, Yu Tianjue quickly arrived at the edge of the pool, plucked the two immortal herbs, and stuffed them directly into his mouth.
Although Yu Tianjue moved quickly, he still felt immense pain while plucking the two herbs. This was only because he was a Soul Master with an Ultimate Ice attribute, which granted him some immunity to cold toxins; otherwise, the situation would have been even worse.
The two immortal herbs melted upon contact with his tongue, turning into a liquid that slid down his throat. A fragrant scent instantly bloomed within Yu Tianjue's throat.
Yu Tianjue did not waste any time. He tore off his clothes and quickly entered the intersection of the Cold Extreme Yin Spring and the Blazing Yang Spring.
Ice and fire clashed, yin and yang balanced. The energy shockwave erupted instantly. Even though he had only just entered the water, Yu Tianjue lost all consciousness and fell into a coma.
The surface of the water returned to calm, the milky white and crimson colors remaining clearly demarcated.
Seeing this, Yu Yuanzhen's eyes narrowed slightly.
Although he could not see Yu Tianjue's specific condition, he could sense that Tianjue seemed to be in no immediate danger.
Yu Yuanzhen breathed a sigh of relief and turned his gaze toward Yu Tianheng.
As for the other elders, he did not even glance at them.
The future hope of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect rested on these two brothers, Tianjue and Tianheng. These elders consuming herbs to improve their cultivation was, in truth, of little consequence. As long as he could hold the line until the two brothers grew up, the future of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect would be bright!
Oh, wait.
It was too exhausting for him to hold the line alone.
There were so many herbs here; if he found a suitable one for Yu Luomian to consume, it should be enough to help him break through to the Titled Douluo realm.
The Clear Sky Sect had the brothers Tang Xiao and Tang Hao, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had Old Sword and Old Bone. Their Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect should also have two old dragons!
"Hahahaha! This method actually works!"
Accompanied by a burst of laughter, Dugu Bo returned, but before he could share his joy, Yu Yuanzhen barked, "Old Poison, shut up!"
Dugu Bo was slightly stunned, only then noticing that the vast majority of those present had already entered a state of cultivation. The boy who had told him how to solve his own problem had actually jumped straight into the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well!
This boy... he had such audacity!
Although Dugu Bo had discovered the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well long ago, for all these years, he had never dared to cross the line, let alone approach this bizarre pool water. To think... this boy had just jumped right in!
Dugu Bo's expression turned complex, his tone filled with emotion:
"Yu Yuanzhen, you really have raised a good grandson!"
Yu Yuanzhen cast a seemingly indifferent glance at Dugu Bo, but in his heart, he was overjoyed. "Not one, but two good grandsons!"
