Distributing Immortal Herbs

Yue Guan continued walking forward.

He pointed at an immortal herb with a strange appearance and said, "This one is called the Earth Dragon Golden Melon. It can stabilize one's foundation and strengthen one's martial soul. For people from Spirit Hall with snake-type martial souls, after consuming it, there is an extremely high chance their martial soul will evolve toward a dragon. Its value is extraordinarily high."

At this point, Yue Guan looked at Dugu Bo with a smile that was not quite a smile.

"Old Poison Freak, did you hear that? This thing was right under your nose, and you actually didn't know."

Dugu Bo's expression darkened.

But Yue Guan acted as if he had not seen his expression and pointed at another plant.

"And this one, the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew. It can enhance spiritual power and perception."

"Spiritual power is something ordinary soul masters find extremely difficult to cultivate, but with it, one can gain a tremendous boost."

When Bibi Dong heard this, her eyes stirred slightly.

Enhancing spiritual power.

The value of this type of immortal herb was equally immense.

Yue Guan then went on to introduce several more immortal herbs, each with its own different effects.

Some leaned toward strengthening the body, some toward the foundation of the martial soul, some could improve physique, and some could make up for innate deficiencies. Most were things mentioned in the original work and fanfiction.

His explanation was not overly elaborate, but he stated the most crucial effect of each immortal herb.

And Dugu Bo's expression grew darker and darker as Yue Guan explained.

At first, he had only felt somewhat uncomfortable.

But by the time he heard the later explanations, he could hardly sit still.

These things had always been growing in his Herb Garden; it was just that he had never truly studied the effects of these medicinal herbs.

To him, the most important thing about this valley was that it could suppress the toxins in his body and assist him in cultivating his poison arts.

As for those exotic flowers and strange herbs growing around the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, although he had known they were extraordinary, he had never imagined they were extraordinary to such an extent.

Improving one's foundation.

Making up for deficiencies.

Enhancing spiritual power.

Strengthening the martial soul.

To any soul master, these effects were temptations difficult to refuse.

And yet he had stayed here for so long, but had not made use of any of them. He had never expected all of it to end up benefiting Spirit Hall.

As Yue Guan spoke, he could not help laughing again.

"Old Poison Freak, to be honest, I used to think your luck was pretty good, being able to find such a treasured place.

"Now it seems you didn't just have good luck. You were blessed with heaven-defying fortune."

Dugu Bo's expression was gloomy. "What exactly are you trying to say?"

Yue Guan smiled and said, "I'm saying you were blessed with heaven-defying fortune, yet you happened not to recognize treasure when you saw it. This is what they call sitting on a mountain of treasure without knowing it."

A vein throbbed at Dugu Bo's temple.

If the current situation had not been wrong, he truly would have wanted to fight Yue Guan.

But now, Gui Mei was standing beside Yue Guan, Bibi Dong was nearby, and even Lu Chen, this child, held the hope of his granddaughter Dugu Yan in his hands. He could only swallow this anger.

Yue Guan also seemed to know that Dugu Bo did not dare flare up, and he grew even more enthusiastic as he spoke.

"If you had known the effects of these immortal herbs earlier, perhaps there would have been a way to alleviate the problem of the toxins in your body long ago."

"What a pity. You were guarding so many immortal herbs, yet you only knew to use poisonous mist to protect this place."

Dugu Bo gave a cold snort and said nothing.

Lu Chen listened from the side, but his heart did not fluctuate much.

It was not strange that Dugu Bo did not recognize immortal herbs.

If he had truly understood these things, Tang San originally would not have been able to obtain the benefits of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well so easily.

But now, everything had already changed ahead of time.

After Yue Guan finished speaking, the excitement on his face had not completely faded.

As Bibi Dong looked at these immortal herbs before her, a bit more heat could not help appearing in her eyes.

Of course she understood what these things meant.

If these immortal herbs could be allocated reasonably, Spirit Hall's strength would inevitably increase by a large margin.

Especially some young soul masters who were already outstandingly talented. If they took immortal herbs suited to themselves, their future achievements would very likely be raised even further.

After pondering for a moment, Bibi Dong looked at Yue Guan and said, "Yue Guan, choose suitable immortal herbs for everyone present."

Yue Guan immediately said with a solemn expression, "Yes."

When it came to harvesting immortal herbs, he did not dare be the slightest bit careless.

Though these immortal herbs were precious, the more precious the herb, the less casually it could be picked and stored.

If handled improperly, its medicinal properties might very well be damaged—or even waste an immortal herb outright.

Yue Guan started with the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, the one he was most familiar with.

He carefully harvested it whole, then deliberately left behind its seeds and a portion of its vitality to ensure there would still be a possibility for it to grow again here in the future.

Lu Chen watched Yue Guan's movements and nodded slightly inwardly.

This was exactly the result he wanted to see.

The value of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well did not lie only in this batch of immortal herbs before them, but in the fact that it was itself a treasure land capable of nurturing immortal herbs.

If they simply drained the pond to catch the fish, that would be far too much of a pity.

Yue Guan clearly understood this as well.

Each time he harvested an immortal herb, he did his best to preserve its seeds or roots, so that the possibility of growth here would not be cut off completely.

Next, he harvested the Hell God Exquisite.

He carefully put this immortal herb away, preparing to hand it over to Gui Mei.

After that came the Earth Dragon Golden Melon.

After Yue Guan harvested this immortal herb, he held it in his hand and examined it, then turned to look at Dugu Bo.

"Old Poison Freak, there's only one Earth Dragon Golden Melon."

Dugu Bo looked at him.

Yue Guan said, "It'll help you, and it'll help your granddaughter too. But there's only one. Whether you use it yourself or give it to your granddaughter is for you to consider."

Dugu Bo barely hesitated at all.

"Give it to Yanyan."

He said it very casually, as if he had not needed to think at all.

Yue Guan raised an eyebrow. "You're not going to think it over? This thing isn't without benefit to your body either."

Dugu Bo waved a hand.

"What's there to think about?"

"My own potential has already reached its end. Even if I use it, it may not change much."

At this point, his tone paused, and his expression softened slightly as well.

"Yanyan is still young. She still has a long road ahead of her. Since this thing can help her, then of course it goes to her."

Yue Guan glanced at him and, for once, did not mock him further.

Although Dugu Bo had a strange temperament and a stubborn mouth, there was truly nothing to criticize when it came to how he treated his granddaughter.

Bibi Dong did not object either.

So Yue Guan stored the Earth Dragon Golden Melon separately, preparing to let Dugu Yan use it later.

Yue Guan continued carefully harvesting the remaining immortal herbs.

Some immortal herbs were suitable to distribute now, while for others, it was temporarily unclear who they suited best, so he first stored them in his Soul Tool.

Apart from the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum he kept for himself, the Hell God Exquisite for Gui Mei, and the Earth Dragon Golden Melon prepared for Dugu Bo's granddaughter, all the other immortal herbs that could be harvested were temporarily placed into his Soul Tool.

The entire process went on for some time.

Yue Guan was cautious with every step, even more careful than when treating his own martial soul.

After most of the immortal herbs that could be harvested had been put away, Dugu Bo finally could not help asking, "Kid."

Lu Chen looked at him.

Dugu Bo said, "You said just now that you could resolve the problem of my toxins. What exactly is the method?"

This was what he cared about most.

Though the immortal herbs were important, Dugu Bo cared even more about the hidden danger of the toxins inside his and Dugu Yan's bodies.
