Nine Heart Begonia Ye Lingling, Immortal Herb Knowledge

At that moment, Zhu Fan quietly came to Dai Chengfeng's side, pointed at the demon wolf and the woman not far away, and spoke softly.

"Chengfeng, that's a Gale Demon Wolf of around fifteen thousand years, and that woman is only a five-ring Soul King. Her Martial Soul isn't top-tier either."

"There's absolutely no way she can be that Gale Demon Wolf's opponent. Even if that support-type Soul Grandmaster helps restore her condition, the result won't change."

"It looks like they pose no threat to us. Let's go back."

Hearing this, Dai Chengfeng shook his head. "No, Uncle. Go help them."

"Help them?"

Zhu Fan frowned slightly and looked at Dai Chengfeng. "Chengfeng, we've never even met them before, and this is the Star Dou Great Forest."

"Although they're only a Soul King and a Soul Grandmaster, people's hearts are hard to read."

"What if it's a trap..."

Dai Chengfeng smiled and shook his head. "Don't worry, Uncle."

"No one would be willing to use the owner of the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul as bait—if it weren't so rare, it could absolutely contend for the title of the number one support-type Martial Soul in the world."

"Hm?"

Zhu Fan was somewhat surprised. "Chengfeng, how do you know..."

"I'll explain later. Go first... If you're too late, I suspect that senior Medical Saint who may be hiding in the shadows might not be able to resist acting personally."

With that, Dai Chengfeng jumped straight down from the treetop.

Seeing this, although Zhu Fan was still puzzled, he chose to trust his nephew unconditionally.

He raised his right hand and shouted, "I'll help you!"

As he spoke, the third Soul Ring beneath his feet lit up, and his whole body directly transformed into a wisp of black smoke. "Third Soul Skill, Nether Flash!"

Then, though he had moved later, he arrived first, directly appearing before the Gale Demon Wolf and saving the woman and Ye Lingling.

Watching this scene, the corners of Dai Chengfeng's mouth curved into a smile.

"My luck seems pretty good!"

The reason Dai Chengfeng insisted on coming to Heaven Dou Empire, this "ally," even at personal risk, was very clear: it was for the immortal herbs.

At most, he would also try to win over Poison Douluo Dugu Bo and see whether he could be made to serve the Star Luo Empire.

But before this, Dai Chengfeng himself had known almost nothing about immortal herb-related knowledge aside from a few names and their effects.

Therefore, he had once carefully considered whom he should look for in order to obtain information related to immortal herbs.

First of all, the first person Dai Chengfeng ruled out was Tang San.

With Tang San's personality, even if Dai Mubai personally asked him in the later stages, he might not necessarily be able to get complete information about immortal herbs from him...

And how could a stranger like him possibly learn information related to immortal herbs from Tang San's mouth?

Using force wouldn't work either. After all, Clear Sky Douluo wasn't someone to be trifled with.

Next, among those in the Original Work who were shown to have a certain understanding of immortal herbs, only Spirit Hall's elder remained: the Titled Douluo Chrysanthemum Douluo, whose Martial Soul was Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, as well as the Breaking Clan, known for their skill in refining medicines.

But those two...

As for Chrysanthemum Douluo, whether Dai Chengfeng could even meet him was hard to say, let alone the fact that even if he did, the relationship between Spirit Hall and the Star Luo Empire was hardly one of "good friends."

He was an elder of Spirit Hall. On what basis would he tell Dai Chengfeng, Star Luo Empire's Fourth Prince, knowledge related to immortal herbs?

And if he asked rashly, what if it aroused his suspicion...

Then those immortal herbs would probably have nothing to do with Dai Chengfeng anymore.

After all, Spirit Hall had so many elders, and immortal herbs were not limited to one per person.

After Bibi Dong obtained the immortal herbs, would she use them to win over the Titled Douluo Inside the Hall, or give them to Dai Chengfeng? The answer was obvious!

At present.

It seemed that only the Breaking Clan still held a little hope, but in Dai Chengfeng's heart, he actually only regarded the Breaking Clan as the final backup option.

After all, knowledge of refining medicine was the very means by which the entire Breaking Clan made its living. They definitely would not pass it on to outsiders lightly.

Then?

Who was the best choice?

Thinking of this, Dai Chengfeng once again looked at the girl holding a pink begonia flower, the granddaughter of Medical Saint Ye Renxin—Ye Lingling.

"Since Ye Lingling's grandfather is honored throughout the entire continent as Medical Saint, his understanding of medicinal herbs must surely not be inferior to anyone else's."

"And he doesn't rely on refining medicine to make a living, so he probably wouldn't be stingy with some knowledge about medicinal herbs..."

"Especially... toward his own granddaughter's 'savior'!"

As he pondered.

Zhu Fan had already begun exchanging blows with that Gale Demon Wolf, and Dai Chengfeng had also arrived beside Ye Lingling.

"Are you all right?"

Looking at the pale-faced girl, Dai Chengfeng asked.

"Thank you."

Ye Lingling gave Dai Chengfeng a slight bow of thanks, then said nothing more. Instead, she subconsciously took a few steps back.

There was a trace of doubt in her eyes, along with curiosity and a faint hint of wariness.

Dai Chengfeng saw this and did not mind much.

He knew Ye Lingling herself was an introverted, quiet girl, and all of that had to do with what had happened to her parents.

As for being wary? This was the Star Dou Great Forest, after all.

If he had not known in advance that the girl before him was the granddaughter of Medical Saint Ye Renxin and the owner of the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul, Ye Lingling, he definitely would not have stepped in rashly either.

So Dai Chengfeng merely nodded. "That's good."

And just then—

Zhu Fan, who was standing in front of the Gale Demon Wolf, had the sixth Soul Ring beneath his feet light up.

In an instant, dense black light surged out from within him. The muscles of his right hand rapidly swelled, and a layer of fine black fur appeared across the surface of his skin, flickering with an eerie ethereal light.

His nails lengthened, turning into incomparably sharp claw blades that gleamed with a chilling, icy light.

"Sixth Skill: Nether Heart Piercing Claw."

Zhu Fan's voice was deep and low. Then his body shot toward the Gale Demon Wolf like a bolt of black lightning.

He was so fast that even Dai Chengfeng could not catch sight of him at all in that moment.

Opposite him, the Gale Demon Wolf seemed to sense the fatal threat. Fear appeared in its eyes.

It roared wildly, trying to use its own presence to frighten Zhu Fan back, but all of it was destined to be futile.

In the blink of an eye, Zhu Fan's figure appeared before the Gale Demon Wolf. His right claw carried violent power and speed as it stabbed fiercely toward the Gale Demon Wolf's heart.

There was simply no time to react.

Zhu Fan's claw blade instantly pierced through the Gale Demon Wolf's body and emerged from its back.

Black blood gushed from the Gale Demon Wolf's wound and splashed onto the ground. Dead!

Zhu Fan looked at the Gale Demon Wolf lying on the ground, already devoid of life, then slowly withdrew his right hand and shook off the blood.

"Done," Zhu Fan said calmly.

Dai Chengfeng looked at Zhu Fan. "Uncle, thank you for your trouble."

Zhu Fan smiled. "It was only a Ten Thousand Year Soul Beast."

Across from them—

Seeing the Gale Demon Wolf that had driven the two of them into a desperate situation get instantly killed by Zhu Fan...

A trace of surprise flashed through the eyes of both the woman and Ye Lingling.

The two looked at each other. "Lingling, it seems they're good people. Otherwise, killing the Gale Demon Wolf was so easy for them, let alone dealing with us."

Hearing this, Ye Lingling nodded. When she looked at Dai Chengfeng, much of the wariness in her eyes had disappeared, replaced by a hint of gratitude.

At this moment, the older woman stepped forward and gave Zhu Fan and Dai Chengfeng a deep bow. "I am Bai Xue, a teacher from Heaven Dou Royal Academy."

As she spoke, Bai Xue pointed to the girl beside her and introduced her. "This is my student, Ye Lingling."

"Here, I thank you both, my lords, for saving our lives."

Ye Lingling also gave the two of them a serious bow. "Lingling thanks you both, my lords, for saving our lives."
