After Dugu Bo left the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well for Heaven Dou Royal Academy, a group of uninvited guests arrived at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
"Aromatic Silk Beauty, Aromatic Silk Beauty, Eight Petal Immortal Orchid, Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, Narcissus Jade Bone..."
Tang San stared at the dazzling array of Immortal Herbs, practically drooling.
His smile was utterly radiant.
"Little San, you recognize these medicinal herbs?"
Yu Xiaogang stepped forward. Seeing Tang San smile so happily, he knew these herbs had to be incredibly valuable.
Holding back a laugh, Tang San said, "Teacher, these are all top-grade Immortal Herbs. They're extremely valuable, have considerable age, and they're all ownerless."
"Since they're ownerless, we should take them."
Yu Xiaogang nodded in satisfaction.
He also knew that Tang San's knowledge was broader than his own. Since Tang San said so, these herbs must be immensely valuable.
And they were all ownerless. This was fantastic!
"Little Ao, perhaps we should wait a little longer. This place has been tended so carefully. It may have an owner who simply went out."
Oscar carefully inspected the area. Apart from these Immortal Herbs, there was not even a single weed. Someone had clearly maintained this place.
Calling these Immortal Herbs ownerless by force really was rather unreasonable.
"Little Ao is right. We can look around first. Maybe we'll find this place's owner."
Dai Mubai also agreed with Oscar. No matter how he looked at it, this did not seem like an ownerless place.
"I think so too."
Xiao Wu nodded.
The reason she agreed was because she had sensed an aura similar to her own.
However, the Emerald Swan that had taken human form had been hiding in the shadows ever since Tang San arrived, too afraid to show herself.
Only Xiao Wu had sensed a trace of her aura, so she guessed that the soul beast like herself might be the owner of this place.
Liu Erlong walked over to Yu Xiaogang and urged him as well. "Xiaogang, everyone is right. Someone should be tending this place. Otherwise, there wouldn't even be any weeds."
"Erlong, they don't know any better, but are you going to be foolish with them? This is clearly ownerless land."
Even Liu Erlong was opposing him, and Yu Xiaogang's temper flared at once.
"These Immortal Herbs are all rare treasures. Perhaps they can help Teacher break through to Level 30."
Without another word, Tang San plucked one of the Immortal Herbs.
"Teacher, this is Ninth Grade Purple Ganoderma. As long as you consume it, it can help you break through the bottleneck that has troubled you for years and reach Level 30. In the future, you can also use this Immortal Herb to raise your Soul Power Level even further."
The moment Tang San said this, both Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong were stunned.
Only Flender and Zhao Wuji remained silent. Both of them had a faint sense of foreboding.
So they simply said nothing and watched the show from the side.
"Really, Little San?"
Yu Xiaogang accepted the Ninth Grade Purple Ganoderma with trembling hands.
After studying martial souls for so many years, he had never found a way to break through. If he could truly make a breakthrough today, then his fortune had finally arrived.
Tang San confirmed again, "Yes, Teacher. I can say with absolute certainty that this Immortal Herb can help you break through the bottleneck that has held you back for so many years."
Yu Xiaogang immediately swallowed it in one gulp.
Then he went to one side to digest it.
"Boss Dai, this is the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, a neutral Immortal Herb. Consuming it can circulate energy through your limbs, unblock your eight meridians, and forge an indestructible body."
Tang San plucked a huge chrysanthemum. It was a magnificent purple, and every petal was fluffy.
The entire flower seemed to form one whole, yet no fragrance escaped from it. Its central stamen rose a full half-foot above the petals, and the tip of the stamen shimmered with a faint golden light.
It was even prettier than the Ninth Grade Purple Ganoderma.
Dai Mubai was shocked. "It can really forge an indestructible body?"
This was exactly what he had dreamed of. If he truly achieved it, he would be absolutely invincible among those of the same level.
Tang San realized he had exaggerated and gave a light cough before explaining, "Ahem, calling it indestructible is a bit of an exaggeration. But this herb suits you best and can make your cultivation twice as effective with half the effort."
"Then thank you, Little San. But how should I eat this chrysanthemum? Do I swallow it in one gulp too?"
Tang San shook his head and explained, "The Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum differs from the Ninth Grade Purple Ganoderma. You need to start with the chrysanthemum's stamen, then eat the petals. Don't eat the roots or stem. Afterward, cultivate immediately to refine its medicinal effects. It will be enough to help you break through the Level 40 bottleneck."
The moment Dai Mubai heard that he could break through to Level 40, he perked up and immediately went to a secluded corner to consume it as Tang San instructed.
Ever since that previous blow, his Soul Power had been unable to improve even a fraction.
Tang San swept his gaze over the plants again, walked toward a snow-white, crystalline Immortal Herb, and plucked it.
"Little Ao, this is the Eight Petal Immortal Orchid. It strengthens your foundation, replenishes your essence, and removes impurities from your body. It can compensate for the slow cultivation speed of a food-system soul master, and its medicinal effects can last until you break through to Soul Saint."
"As for how to take it, just swallow it in one gulp."
Tang San handed the Eight Petal Immortal Orchid to Oscar.
"I love you, Little San!"
Oscar was overjoyed when he received the Eight Petal Immortal Orchid, immediately throwing all his earlier worries out of his mind.
His slow cultivation speed had always troubled him. Now that it could be solved, who cared whether these herbs had an owner or not?
Afterward, Tang San plucked another red Immortal Herb.
This Immortal Herb looked quite simple, consisting only of red blades of grass. The very tips of the blades resembled a cockscomb.
Only upon close inspection could one discover what made it extraordinary.
The veins on its leaves were actually crimson gold.
"Fatty, this is called the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower. You also swallow it in one gulp, but remember: no matter how painful it becomes, you must endure it. Otherwise, all your efforts will be wasted."
Tang San handed the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower to Ma Hongjun.
After receiving the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower, Ma Hongjun also went to a secluded corner to cultivate.
Tang San then plucked two more medicinal herbs in succession and gave them to the other students.
Afterward, Tang San looked toward the other teachers.
Flender immediately refused. "Little San, the two of us don't need them. These herbs are so precious. Leave them for you young people. We're old; eating them would be useless."
"Alright, then."
Tang San did not say anything else and merely nodded. Since they would not eat them, he could eat a little more himself.
Then he plucked an Immortal Herb and gave it to Liu Erlong.
Only at the end did he find the Lovesick Heartbreak Red and give it to Xiao Wu.
He also explained the Lovesick Heartbreak Red's effects to Xiao Wu.
As for himself, he took all the remaining Immortal Herbs.
Then he turned his gaze toward the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
He had also noticed the special nature of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, and he consumed three Immortal Herbs: the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, Infernal Delicate Apricot, and Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew.
