I want all the immortal herbs! Did Bibi Dong intend to seize the entire herb garden?
The original Douluo Continent, specifically the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
The atmosphere in the Mountain Valley was now extremely tense.
Yue Guan stood behind Bibi Dong, his gaze never leaving the Herb Garden, while Gui Mei was hidden in a cloud of black mist, her presence barely perceptible, conveniently blocking one of the exits.
Dugu Bo looked at this group of uninvited guests, his face so gloomy it was almost dripping with water.
The place he had guarded for so many years had now become the target of contention among various parties, and none of these people were easy to deal with.
Ning Fengzhi glanced at the Yu Yuanzhen on the mountain wall, then looked back at Bibi Dong and spoke first:
"Your His Holiness the Pope, our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has come here today seeking only a single Aromatic Silk Beauty. I have already reached an agreement with Poison Douluo; we will not take any other herbs."
As he spoke, he pointed to the yellow flower by the spring, "This matter is related to whether my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda can advance further; I hope Your Excellency will grant me this favor."
Bibi Dong followed his finger and looked up slightly, but did not answer immediately.
At that moment, a deep sound came from the mountainside.
"I only need one."
Yu Yuanzhen leaped into the valley, his gaze sweeping over the herbs scattered on the ground, finally settling on the purple Ganoderma.
"Nine-Grade Purple Ganoderma?" Ning Fengzhi's eyes flickered slightly upon hearing this, and he quickly understood his intention.
Li Qingshan, who was in the Sky Screen, said that this item could replenish vital energy and help Soul Master break through cultivation bottlenecks.
Yu Yuanzhen's son, who had left the family many years ago, happened to be stuck before Level 30.
Dugu Bo also turned to look over and laughed, "Sect Master Yu, you're still thinking about your son. He's far inferior to Yu Xiaogang in the Sky Screen."
Upon hearing this, Yu Yuanzhen's expression darkened slightly, but he did not deny that he had considered finding a breakthrough for Yu Xiaogang over the years.
But his son was too cowardly and only knew how to run away from problems. Even though he was Titled Douluo, he couldn't help his son overcome that hurdle.
Now that hope has finally appeared, how could he not come?
As for the ability of the Aromatic Silk Beauty to promote the Martial Soul Evolution, it also tempted him. However, Ning Fengzhi had already spoken, and if he were to compete for it again, he would have to turn against the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect first.
The three powerful figures from the Spirit Hall were standing right opposite them. At this moment, making an enemy of Chen Xin would only allow Bibi Dong to reap the benefits.
Yu Yuanzhen suppressed his thoughts, looked at Dugu Bo, and said solemnly, "Poison Douluo, I won't take your things for nothing. You can ask for any compensation you want."
Dugu Bo's lips twitched, but before he could speak, a burst of laughter interrupted their conversation.
"Hahaha--"
Bibi Dong smiled, gripping the Pope's Scepter, her gaze slowly sweeping over Ning Fengzhi and Yu Yuanzhen, and said:
"One wants the Aromatic Silk Beauty, the other wants the Nine-Grade Purple Ganoderma; you two certainly know how to distinguish between them."
Ning Fengzhi's smile faded slightly as he asked:
"What does Your Majesty mean by this?"
Bibi Dong raised her scepter, letting the base gently touch the ground, and said coldly, "The meaning is simple. None of you can take any of the Immortal Herbs here."
Her voice wasn't loud, but it reached everyone's ears clearly.
"They all belong to my Spirit Hall!"
Upon hearing this, the valley immediately fell silent.
Dugu Bo was taken aback at first, then laughed in anger, and said:
"What arrogance! I, the master, am not dead yet. When did this Herb Garden become the property of your Spirit Hall?"
A cold glint appeared in Yu Yuanzhen's eyes as he angrily retorted, "Your His Holiness the Pope, your appetite is far too large. You may not be able to swallow it all."
Ning Fengzhi didn't reply, but only took half a step back to Chen Xin's side.
This action has already made its stance clear.
The Aromatic Silk Beauty is related to a limitation that the sect has been unable to overcome throughout the generations. Now that he has found this place, he cannot turn back just because of Bibi Dong's words.
Chen Xin slowly raised the Seven Kill Sword and said coldly, "Since my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect only intends to take one plant, no one else should expect us to leave empty-handed."
The next moment, nine Soul Ring— two yellow, two purple, and five black—rose one after another from beneath his feet, their sharp sword intent shooting straight into the sky, tearing a gap in the churning mist in the valley.
Almost simultaneously, blue-purple lightning erupted from Yu Yuanzhen's body, his arms quickly covered with Dragon Scales, and a huge phantom of Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon appeared behind him!
Nine Soul Ring then unfolded.
"Hold head high!"
A deep, resonant dragon's roar echoed through the mountainside.
Dugu Bo no longer suppressed his anger. Emerald green light spread from beneath his feet, and the illusory image of the Serpent Emperor slowly raised its head, its cold gaze locking onto Yue Guan.
Opposite him, golden light gathered in Yue Guan's palm, and the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum slowly bloomed, while the black mist around the Gui Mei suddenly thickened.
Bibi Dong remained standing in the same spot, with nine Soul Ring Soul Ring appearing one after another—two yellow, two purple, four black, and one red—and a powerful aura suddenly pressing forward.
Several medicinal herbs by the spring were bent over by the strong wind. Dugu Bo immediately raised his hand to protect them, his face growing increasingly grim. He said:
"If you want to fight, then go outside and fight! Anyone who dares to destroy my Herb Garden, I'll never forgive them!"
However, no one was willing to back down first.
Once the spot is given up, the other party can easily take the Immortal Herbs away.
The Soul Power on both sides collided in mid-air. Before they could even truly clash, deep, resonant vibrations echoed from the mountainside.
Meanwhile, on the outskirts of Sunset Forest.
Flender led the Shrek group along the forest path, where many other Soul Master had come after hearing the news.
Above, in the Sky Screen, the young Golden Sacred Dragon spread its wings and flew around the trees in the courtyard.
As the young Yu Xiaogang's thoughts shifted, it fell back to the ground, transforming back into a golden puppy. Then, golden light flashed again, and the dragon form reappeared.
Several times in a row, there was not the slightest bit of hesitation.
Yu Xiaogang looked up, his steps slowing down unconsciously. He discovered that the same Martial Soul in another version of himself could transform into a dragon so freely.
"Hmph, this Yu Xiaogang only managed to Martial Soul Evolution by luck, thanks to the power of Immortal Herbs. If I obtained Immortal Herbs, I could do the same!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Ning Rongrong turned her head and asked with a half-smile, "Grandmaster, since Immortal Herbs can solve this, why haven't you broken through to Level 30 yet?"
Yu Xiaogang's face stiffened, and he said in a deep voice, "Immortal Herbs are rare; how can they be found just by wishing to?"
"You know it's rare, don't you?" Ning Rongrong pouted and said, "Senior Li finding medicine, Alchemy, and protecting his disciples—how is that considered a fluke?"
Looking at the Sky Screen, Dai Mubai couldn't help but say, "Besides, she was in pain for half a day without asking to stop. I might not have been able to endure it either."
"Your single word, 'Immortal Herbs delicacy,' has erased all the suffering he endured."
Yu Xiaogang's lips moved slightly, but Zhao Wuji behind him burst out laughing.
"So, if you give me a few Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone, I could become Titled Douluo too. But I can't get them, and I don't have the good fortune to find a teacher willing to help me find Soul Bone!"
Ning Rongrong chuckled, and Yu Xiaogang's face immediately turned bright red.
"The teacher just lacks such an opportunity," Tang San said, frowning.
"It's understandable to lack opportunity," Li Yusong glanced at Yu Xiaogang and said, "If he actually succeeded, we should acknowledge his ability; there's nothing shameful about it."
These words made Yu Xiaogang blush.
Even the college professors say so, so if I try to defend myself, wouldn't that just make me seem like I can't stand to see another version of myself doing well?
"Enough, let's get going!"
Flender interrupted the crowd with a stern face.
Yu Xiaogang followed with his head down, but his hands clenched tighter and tighter in his sleeves. He thought to himself that once he obtained the Immortal Herbs and Sanpao also completed his evolution, let's see what these people can say!
