Fang Yuan explained Whale Rubber's actual effects, attributing the information to the God of Fate's trial.
He had been planning to use Whale Rubber anyway to help Little Bibi Dong strengthen her body and increase the age of Soul Rings she could withstand.
Considering that Whale Rubber also had different ages, and using the wrong kind could leave it impossible to absorb, Fang Yuan made a point of warning them.
"It's best to experiment on animals first. Once you've determined the ages a human body can withstand, have Soul Masters test it, progressing from hundred-year to ten-thousand-year Whale Rubber."
Although the order of taking Whale Rubber simply started with the hundred-year kind, Fang Yuan felt it was better to be cautious.
After all, Spirit Hall had vast resources, and testing it wouldn't take much time.
Qian Daoliu had come over as well. After hearing what Fang Yuan said, he looked at Yue Guan. "Yue Guan, do as Yuan says."
"Yes, understood." Yue Guan nodded in acknowledgment, then asked, "Your Highness the Holy Son, may I ask what the second matter is?"
Fang Yuan smiled at Yue Guan. "The second matter concerns Immortal Herbs. Uncle Yue, I believe you know how to take them?"
"Immortal Herbs?" Yue Guan froze at those words, then grew excited.
"Your Highness the Holy Son, do you mean you have Immortal Herbs? Could you let me see them?"
Even Yue Guan's voice turned urgent. As someone who loved flowers, what he most wanted to see in his lifetime was an Immortal Herb.
Fang Yuan shook his head slightly. "I don't have any here, but I know where they are. There are many Immortal Herbs growing there."
"Then what are we waiting for!" Yue Guan was as frantic as an ant on a hot pan, but he didn't dare grab Fang Yuan directly.
"Your Highness the Holy Son, tell me where it is! I'm willing to serve you like a hound or horse!"
What did he mean, many Immortal Herbs?
Even a single Immortal Herb was a rarity seldom seen in the world, yet Fang Yuan's words meant there was more than one?
Yue Guan immediately dropped to one knee and pledged his loyalty to Fang Yuan. "As long as Your Highness the Holy Son takes me to see the Immortal Herbs, I will obey your every command from this day forward!"
Qian Xunji: "???"
Wait, I'm still right here!
Yue Guan, what do you mean by that!
Although Spirit Hall's papal seat would pass to Fang Yuan sooner or later, it hadn't been passed on yet!
He, Qian Xunji, was still the Pope!
"Yue Guan!"
"Do you have no regard for me at all!"
Qian Xunji spoke through gritted teeth. Damn it, I'm standing right here watching, and you're already pledging loyalty to the next Pope?
Are you that impatient?
Am I, Qian Xunji, really that bad?
Hearing Qian Xunji's words, Yue Guan realized what he had just done, but he soon made up his mind.
"Your Holiness the Pope, I'm sorry!"
"You don't know how precious Immortal Herbs are. Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bones can be found, but Immortal Herbs are utterly unique."
"If taken properly, a single Immortal Herb can evolve someone's martial soul to the highest tier and transform their innate talent into Innate Full Soul Power!"
"If a Level 98 Titled Douluo takes an Immortal Herb, he could even break through to Level 99!"
"What did you say!" Qian Xunji immediately lost his composure.
"Yue Guan, is everything you said true?"
Golden Crocodile Douluo was Level 98!
Yue Guan answered with certainty, "Everything I said is true. Not a single word is false."
"It's precisely because I know how precious Immortal Herbs are that I became so excited."
"Besides, pledging loyalty to His Highness the Holy Son doesn't count as betraying Spirit Hall."
Yue Guan knew his actions just now must have displeased Qian Xunji, so he hurried to take the opportunity to excuse himself.
Qian Xunji had no interest in quibbling with Yue Guan. He turned to Fang Yuan. "Yuan, where are the Immortal Herbs? Let's head there now!"
"In Sunset Forest." Fang Yuan described the location of the Immortal Herbs.
He didn't know exactly where they were either, but he remembered a few details, and finding them based on those would be easy.
At this point in time, Dugu Bo definitely hadn't discovered the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. They could go and claim it.
After finishing, Fang Yuan looked at Qian Daoliu.
"Grandpa, the sooner Immortal Herbs are taken, the better. I'd like to give Bibi Dong a share and save one for Qian Renxue, who hasn't been born yet."
"And Uncle Yue Guan knows how to take Immortal Herbs, so he deserves credit too. We should give him a share."
Hearing Fang Yuan say this, Little Bibi Dong automatically ignored the mention of Qian Renxue and was deeply moved.
Senior Brother is so good to me...
Not only had Fang Yuan helped strengthen her body and increase the age of Soul Rings she could withstand, but now he was going to give her an Immortal Herb, a treasure that could evolve her martial soul.
Senior Brother...
Little Bibi Dong was so moved that her eyes stung. The resentment she had felt earlier over Qian Renxue and Big Bibi Dong vanished.
Don't worry, Senior Brother!
I swear I'll win you back!
You're mine! Mine!
Little Bibi Dong silently made up her mind. No matter how much effort it took, she would rescue Fang Yuan from their demonic clutches!
Fang Yuan was simply too good to her. Little Bibi Dong felt she had no way to repay him except to give herself to him. Even if Fang Yuan had other women in the future, she would never let go!
[Bibi Dong's fate has changed again. Obtained: External Soul Bone-Eight-Winged Purple Light Wings, 200,000-Year Spiritual Immunity Head Soul Bone. Rakshasa Godhood restored by 30%.]
A notification popped up from Fang Yuan's system. After glancing at it, he stored the rewards for now and turned his gaze to Little Bibi Dong.
Seeing how moved the girl looked, her eyes misting over, Fang Yuan knew she must have started thinking about something again.
Perhaps her lovesick brain was acting up, but since he was the object of her infatuation, Fang Yuan was more than happy to accept it.
Meanwhile, Yue Guan, standing beside them, had heard Fang Yuan say he would receive a share of the Immortal Herbs and was already so excited that he could barely speak coherently.
"Your Highness the Holy Son, I, I!"
"Your Highness, just say the word. Who do you want killed today?"
"I would brave boiling water and raging fire for you!"
Yue Guan immediately thought of Yu Xiaogang.
Things were going splendidly for Spirit Hall now. Her Highness the Saintess liked His Highness the Holy Son, and they couldn't let anyone else ruin that.
"Your Highness, how about Yu Xiaogang? Why don't I go kill him right away!"
Unless he did something practical for Fang Yuan, Yue Guan felt he couldn't express his loyalty!
Qian Daoliu's expression darkened as he watched from the side.
"Enough!"
"Yue Guan, calm down!"
"Yes." At his words, Yue Guan suppressed his excitement, taking several deep breaths before he managed to contain himself. "My apologies, Your Holiness the Pope, Great Enshrined. I lost control of my emotions for a moment."
As he spoke, he looked sincerely at Fang Yuan. No longer afraid of Qian Xunji making life difficult for him, he made a promise.
"Your Highness, whatever you need in the future, just give me your orders. Even if I have to risk my life, I will see it done!"
He, Yue Guan, had followed Qian Xunji for so long, yet he hadn't gotten even a single Soul Bone.
It wasn't that he was greedy. It was simply that without comparison, there was no sting. Just look at how considerate Fang Yuan was.
Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bones could be found, but Immortal Herbs were utterly unique!
More importantly, Fang Yuan actually rewarded people with Immortal Herbs when he had them!
From this day forward, Fang Yuan would be the only sun in Yue Guan's heart. Loyalty!
Unaware of Yue Guan's thoughts, Qian Daoliu looked at Fang Yuan and said kindly, "Yuan, you brought us the information about the Immortal Herbs. You're free to decide who receives them. Grandpa won't take what belongs to you."
"Let's go. We'll head there now."
