Obtaining the Immortal Herb Manual

"Students, I take my leave."

Su Changqing left the Pope's Palace and let out a relieved sigh outside.

Judging by Bibi Dong's attitude, if he wanted to leave a year from now, he probably wouldn't be stopped.

Su Changqing was very satisfied with his current situation. As long as he maintained it and developed, even if they wanted to force him to join them later, they wouldn't be able to do anything.

After leaving the Pope's Palace, Su Changqing planned to return to his dormitory to meditate and cultivate. As soon as he reached the dormitory entrance, he saw Hu Liena standing there with a book in her hand.

Upon seeing Su Changqing, a smile reappeared on her face.

Hu Liena trotted over to Su Changqing.

"Changqing! You're finally back. Did Teacher do anything to you?"

Su Changqing smiled faintly, "No, she even took me as her disciple. You'll be my senior sister from now on."

Hearing this, the smile on Hu Liena's face grew even more radiant.

"Really? That's great! We're fellow disciples from now on!"

Hu Liena didn't hide her excitement at all and even gave Su Changqing a strong hug.

This scene was coincidentally witnessed by Yan, who was passing by in the distance.

He almost couldn't resist rushing over to Su Changqing, but the memory of being instantly defeated last time was still vivid, causing him to hesitate.

"Su Changqing! You just wait! I'll definitely make you realize who the boss is in the entire Martial Soul Hall Academy!"

After saying this fiercely, he left.

Su Changqing released Hu Liena after sensing Yan's departure and gently pushed her away.

He had just been deliberately trying to annoy Yan.

Since Yan had been making things difficult for him on his first day at Martial Soul Hall Academy, he wouldn't have any good days ahead!

"Changqing, this is the Immortal Herb Manual that Teacher asked me to borrow for you from Elder Chrysanthemum Douluo."

Su Changqing took it, his joy overflowing!

With this, he could not only learn about more Immortal Herbs but also study pharmacology and related knowledge. This way, he would know how to save Dugu Bo and then obtain his Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well!

Seeing his goal advance another step, Su Changqing could no longer suppress his excitement.

"Mhm, thank you, Sister Nana. This book is really important to me!"

Su Changqing suddenly hugged Hu Liena, gently stroking her soft hair with one hand while placing the other on her waist.

Hu Liena didn't resist. Instead, with a blushing face, she let Su Changqing hold her like that.

This was the first time she had been hugged by Su Changqing so proactively!

Younger Brother Changqing is so strong...

"Sister Nana, I still have some things to do in my dormitory. Thank you for bringing the Immortal Herb Manual. I'll treat you to a meal next time."

The two stopped hugging.

Hu Liena nodded slightly, "Okay, I'll be free tomorrow."

"Alright, then Sister Nana, come find me tomorrow. I'm heading back now!"

"Okay, see you tomorrow."

Su Changqing turned and returned to his dormitory.

Hu Liena watched the dormitory door close and her heart beat even faster.

"Eating together tomorrow, does this count as a date?"

Thinking this, a blush involuntarily spread across her pretty face.

I need to pick out some nice clothes to wear back then!

Inside the dormitory.

Su Changqing opened the Immortal Herb Manual and began to study it.

After consuming the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew, which greatly enhanced his spiritual power, Su Changqing's memory had reached a point where he could almost memorize everything at a glance and maintain high-intensity study for at least five hours.

Coupled with the fact that Su Changqing was a top student from a prestigious university in his previous life, his learning ability was very strong. Thus, he managed to study one-third of the Immortal Herb Manual in just one night.

"So there's an even simpler way to cure Dugu Bo's poison. That makes things much more convenient!"

Su Changqing closed the Immortal Herb Manual, which he had been studying all night, and leaned against the headboard, contemplating how to cure Dugu Bo.

Initially, he had prepared for the worst-case scenario.

His Martial Soul suppressed all impurities and toxins, so he could detoxify Dugu Bo slowly every day through his First Spirit Skill. Although it was troublesome and carried the risk of abolishing Dugu Bo's entire poison cultivation, it was the only way he could obtain the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well at the time!

However, after reading some of the Immortal Herb Manual, Su Changqing found an easier method. Combined with the medicine he refined, and then channeling a small amount of energy from his First Spirit Skill into the medicine, even Dugu Bo, who was deeply poisoned, would surely recover after two treatments!

He might even have a chance for a Martial Soul Evolution!

As soon as he thought of Martial Soul Evolution, Su Changqing suddenly realized something and flipped open the Immortal Herb Manual he had just closed.

"It's this thing, the Rainbow Sun Flower!"

This immortal grade plant contained both light and fire attributes, making it extremely compatible with his Martial Soul. While absorbing it wouldn't increase his cultivation, it would enhance his light and fire element attacks, boosting the base damage of his Soul Skills by at least threefold!

With this in mind, Su Changqing silently planned his schedule for the day.

After treating Hu Liena to a meal today, he would head to the Star Dou Great Forest to search for it.

This flower wasn't particularly rare, though those over ten thousand years old were scarce. He wouldn't need to venture too deep, so Su Changqing wasn't worried about encountering dangers he couldn't handle.

Several more hours passed. The morning sun slanted through the gaps in the curtains as a knock sounded on Su Changqing's dorm room door.

"Come in."

The door opened, revealing Hu Liena.

The moment Su Changqing saw her, his eyes widened slightly, and he was momentarily stunned!

Hu Liena was wearing a moon-white, belted long dress today, embroidered with delicate light gold patterns along the hem. It made her flawless skin appear even more fair.

A small, lily-shaped silver ornament was tucked into her hair, adding a touch of elegance to her usual charming demeanor.

"Do I look good, Changqing-didi?" Hu Liena asked, gently holding her skirt and tilting her head with a smile.

Su Changqing snapped back to reality, swallowing hard.

"You look beautiful! Nana-jie, you look really beautiful today!"

"Oh, so it's the clothes that look good, not the person."

"Huh?"

Su Changqing's expression changed, and he quickly explained, "No, I didn't mean it like that, Nana-jie. You look beautiful too, it has nothing to do with the clothes."

"So, are you questioning my taste in choosing clothes?"

"?"

Su Changqing didn't quite know how to respond.

Even after living two lifetimes, I still can't figure out women's hearts!

Seeing Su Changqing's bewildered expression, Hu Liena burst into laughter.

She stuck out her tongue, a playful look on her face.

"I'm just teasing you! Let's go quickly, I'm still waiting for Changqing-didi's feast!"

The joke over, the two left the Martial Soul Hall Academy.

"Uncle Wang, you must kill Su Changqing today!" Outside the academy, Yan said viciously as he watched Su Changqing and Hu Liena.

A hint of disdain flashed in the eyes of the man called Uncle Wang.

"Young master, rest assured. If I cannot return with his head, I will return with my own!"
