Characters from the Original Work Fight for Immortal Herbs? Master and Disciple Seek Medicine Again in the Comic!
The next moment, several golden chrysanthemums drifted into the valley, and a golden figure fell from the sky, landing beside the spring.
The newcomer had his long hair combed back, a fair face, and dark makeup around his eyes that made his brows and gaze look all the more demonic.
Golden luster flowed over his gorgeous armor, and his fingertips curved slightly as he raised a hand to brush aside his hair.
It was none other than Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan!
Only at this moment was his breathing noticeably somewhat hurried, cold sweat still clinging to his temples, yet his gaze was already impatiently sweeping toward the nearby medicine garden.
Ever since he recognized those immortal herbs from the Sky Screen, he had no longer been able to sit still.
On the journey here, Yue Guan had practically been spurring his soul power by burning his life force, refusing to stop for even half a moment, and had even left Bibi Dong and Gui Mei, who were traveling with him, far behind.
He knew better than anyone what those things truly meant for him!
"Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum..." Yue Guan's gaze suddenly paused, the smile on his face deepening as well, for that large golden flower was still growing safe and sound beside the spring!
Yet immediately following that, he looked toward a white flower with blood-red patterns not far away. It was connected at the base to a pitch-black stone and looked unremarkable, yet it made even his breathing stop for a split second.
"Lovesick Heartbreak Red? Even that exists here!"
Dugu Bo watched him, his expression growing increasingly unsightly. Had this medicine garden of his truly become a place anyone could wander through as they pleased?
A moment later, Yue Guan withdrew his gaze and looked once more at Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin, seeming to have already understood something as he spoke, "It seems I have not arrived too late."
"Chrysanthemum Guan," Dugu Bo said coldly, "who let you in?"
Yue Guan merely smiled, however, and raised two fingers.
"Old Poison, I am not greedy either. The Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum and the Lovesick Heartbreak Red-I only want these two plants."
Dugu Bo's temples twitched violently.
He only wanted two plants?
He glanced at Ning Fengzhi, then turned his gaze to Yue Guan, and finally laughed out of anger.
"Good, very good!"
"This one wants a plant, and that one wants two. You lot negotiate quite happily! Why doesn't old man here simply gift the entire medicine garden to you all?"
As his voice fell, emerald-green soul power instantly surged from beneath his feet, and the few golden petals that had originally drifted toward the medicinal herbs were also blasted apart by a wave of his hand.
The smile on Yue Guan's face faded slightly as he said, "Old Poison, why must you fly into such a great rage?"
"The things are not yours, so naturally you are not angry!" Dugu Bo stepped forward to the front of the medicine garden, the green light in his eyes growing increasingly dense.
He had made concessions to Chen Xin because he knew he could not defeat him, and because Ning Fengzhi was willing to negotiate terms.
Yet the moment Yue Guan arrived, he demanded two plants without even asking for his opinion. If he agreed again, would he have to continue giving things away once the people behind arrived?
Yue Guan did not retreat either.
The two streams of soul power slowly collided by the spring, the rising mist pushed away to both sides, and several nearby medicinal herbs swayed gently in response.
The Seven Kill Sword in Chen Xin's hand lifted slightly as he said, "If you are going to fight, stay further away from these medicinal herbs."
His voice was not heavy, yet it finally caused Yue Guan's gaze to shift away from Dugu Bo.
Ning Fengzhi did not chime in, but his heart gradually sank. Yue Guan had arrived, but what of Gui Mei and Bibi Dong?
The thought had just arisen.
A black shadow appeared above the valley.
Amidst rolling black mist, Gui Mei's figure slowly revealed itself. He looked down at Yue Guan and said in a somewhat hoarse voice, "You certainly ran fast."
Yue Guan was just about to speak when he saw yet another figure slowly descending from behind.
That person wore a sweeping purple-gold long dress, a gorgeous crown glowing in the twilight, and slender fingers gripping a gem-inlaid scepter.
That delicate and cold face carried the majesty of one who had long held a superior position as her gaze swept across them. It was none other than Pope Bibi Dong!
"Your Holiness the Pope." Seeing the newcomer, Yue Guan put away his previous expression, turned sideways, and bowed.
Bibi Dong glanced at him, then looked toward the medicine garden by the spring, and smiled, "It seems many people have their eyes on these immortal herbs."
The hand with which Ning Fengzhi gripped his scepter tightened slightly, though he still maintained a smile on his face as he said, "I did not expect even Your Holiness the Pope to come in person."
Before Bibi Dong could respond, a sonorous dragon roar suddenly resounded across the sky from afar!
"Roar-!"
Blue-purple lightning swept across the sea of forest, and a stalwart figure trotted over riding the thunder, landing on the cliff on the other side in the blink of an eye. It was none other than Yu Yuanzhen!
He first glanced at the few people below, and then cast his gaze toward the medicine garden, "Everyone, you have all arrived very early."
Dugu Bo looked at the figures continuously appearing, his complexion already blacker than pitch.
Meanwhile, a bit further away, an athletic middle-aged man was already sitting upon a giant boulder obscured by tree shadows.
His attire was somewhat worn, one hand gripping a huge hammer with its head resting against his feet, and he silently watched the crowd in the valley without any intention of speaking or showing himself.
The mountain wind blew.
On the outskirts of the Sunset Forest, dust and smoke continued to rise.
The sounds of hooves and carriage wheels intertwined with the shouts of traveling soul masters as batch after batch of figures poured along the roads into the forest.
This disturbance stirred up by the Sky Screen had clearly only just begun.
At the same time.
Comic world, Heaven Dou City.
After Li Qingshan finished probing Yu Xiaogang's meridians, he slowly withdrew his hand and said with a solemn expression:
"There is no problem with the martial soul evolution, but your innate foundation still cannot support a martial soul like the Golden Sacred Dragon."
Yu Xiaogang lowered his head to look at Luo Sanpao by his feet, hesitating as he asked, "Teacher, didn't the Mystic Water Pill already take effect?"
"It did indeed take effect. But you originally only had half a level of Innate Soul Power, so even after increasing by one level, you are only at level one and a half," Li Qingshan said, looking at him as he continued.
"Sanpao merely flew around a few times just now, and the soul power you had just recovered was exhausted once more. If you trade blows with others in the future, you cannot possibly hold out for just this brief moment every time."
Yu Xiaogang's expression dimmed. Earlier, when he saw the dragon shape reappear, he had only cared about rejoicing.
Now he realized that if this problem was not resolved, no matter how formidable Sanpao was, it would be difficult to bring out its true potential.
"However, this teacher has already thought of a method." Li Qingshan took out paper and brush, writing a few characters on the desk-Spirit-Nourishing Jade Marrow Ganoderma.
Seeing this, Dugu Bo also walked closer, asking with puzzlement, "Teacher, what is this?"
"This is a spirit herb capable of nourishing the martial soul origin and supplementing the innate foundation."
Li Qingshan explained as he sketched out its general appearance. It was a milky-white spirit herb with pale golden patterns growing along the edge of the cap and crystal-clear jade marrow condensing at the base.
This medicinal ingredient was precisely what he had found from the records of heavenly treasures in the alchemy master's legacy.
"This teacher intends to use the pill formula of the Mystic Water Pill as a foundation, readjust the formulation, and add the spirit marrow from its roots to refine a new pill for Xiao Gang."
Yu Xiaogang's eyes lit up, and he quickly asked, "Then how many levels of Innate Soul Power can this pill increase for me?"
Li Qingshan stroked his chin and said seriously, "If the age of the medicinal ingredients is sufficient and the refinement goes smoothly, I will strive to raise you by another three or four levels."
Hearing these words, Yu Xiaogang could not help but clench his hands tightly.
After he consumed the Mystic Water Pill, his cultivation had already become much smoother. If he could improve by another three or four levels, maintaining the Golden Sacred Dragon form in the future would be completely unproblematic.
Dugu Bo looked closely at the illustration, finally shook his head, and said, "This disciple has never seen this medicine, and it should not exist in the medicine garden."
Li Qingshan put down the brush, looked at Dugu Bo, and said:
"This item seems to only grow within the Star Dou Great Forest, requiring the spiritual energy accumulated by ancient forest lands to condense usable jade marrow over a long passage of years."
"Furthermore, it must be harvested and immediately refined into medicine for consumption, otherwise its medicinal efficacy will dissipate. Xiao Gang, pack up simply, and I will take you to the Star Dou Great Forest to search for it."
