Distributing the Immortal Herbs

After briefly getting things in order, Jiang Li headed toward Haoyue City. Not long after he returned to his lodgings, the Blood Pact runes flickered, and Qian Renxue appeared before him.

"I brought all the immortal herbs I could!"

The moment Qian Renxue spoke, Jiang Li froze.

He had thought Qian Renxue would give him one or two immortal herbs at most. After all, if Spirit Hall found these herbs, discovering their extraordinary qualities would not be difficult.

Once they learned of the herbs' extraordinary qualities and effects, how could they readily hand them over to an outsider?

Even the Blood Pact between him and Qian Renxue would not be enough.

He had never expected Qian Renxue to bring every immortal herb she could.

This was something he had never imagined.

With things having reached this point, he would truly be a fool if he still failed to notice the clues.

He looked at Qian Renxue's exquisite features. Her bright eyes were filled with earnestness and anticipation, and she even seemed faintly to be waiting for praise.

For a moment, Jiang Li did not know what to say.

Was this the most miraculous product of the Douluo Continent-a lovestruck brain?

"It actually feels rather nice?"

At that thought, a smile appeared on Jiang Li's face.

"Let's go to the secret chamber first and study them."

Smiling, Jiang Li led Qian Renxue into his secret chamber.

After making sure no one was watching, Qian Renxue began taking the immortal herbs out of her Storage Soul Tool one by one.

"Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew, singular velvet sky chrysanthemum, cockscomb phoenix sunflower, aromatic silk beauty, Lovesick Heartbreak Red, aromatic silk beauty, narcissus jade muscle bone, eight-petal immortal orchid, Blood Swan Kiss, earth dragon golden melon, ink jade divine bamboo, primordial immortal herb, Star Luo Spirit Pearl, Dragon Blood Vine..."

Besides these, there were also some semi-immortal grade herbs and Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Medicines.

"Nine-grade purple ganoderma, ten-thousand-year snow silkworm, cinnabar lotus, dragon ganoderma leaf..."

Using the Immortal Herb Catalog Qian Renxue had provided, Jiang Li identified and compared the immortal herbs one by one.

"Sure enough, the immortal herbs Tang San obtained from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well weren't limited to those the Shrek Seven Devils consumed."

After examining all the immortal herbs, Jiang Li sighed softly.

This was only reasonable. He clearly remembered that in the Douluo Continent's originally predetermined storyline, Tai Tan, the patriarch of the Strength Clan, and Liu Erlong had both ultimately become Titled Douluos, with the titles Tai Tan Douluo and Slaughter Douluo respectively.

They had managed to break through by relying on the immortal herbs Tang San had left in the Tang Sect.

This was also one of the biggest criticisms of Tang San.

With so many immortal herbs, if he had given even one to Dugu Bo or Dugu Bo's granddaughter, perhaps no one would have said much.

"What do you want to do with these immortal herbs?"

After examining all the immortal herbs, Jiang Li forcibly suppressed the greed and excitement in his heart and asked Qian Renxue for her opinion instead.

"You pick first. I'll take the rest back for my family to use. Of course, if you can refine them into pills, that would be even better."

Qian Renxue answered without hesitation.

She still had to take at least some of these immortal herbs back, or she would not know how to account for it.

"Refine them into pills?"

Jiang Li began considering it seriously.

At his current stage, he truly had no way to refine immortal herbs of this quality into pills. Besides, not all immortal herbs were suitable for pill refinement.

"Put away the aromatic silk beauty, Lovesick Heartbreak Red, aromatic silk beauty, and Blood Swan Kiss first."

"These immortal herbs aren't suitable for refining pills."

"You can keep the aromatic silk beauty on your person. It can go a long way toward ensuring you won't be poisoned. As for the aromatic silk beauty, it's a supreme treasure, especially on the continent you come from. It can remedy flaws in a Martial Soul. In the hands of someone who needs it, its value is immense, and it could very well become a great aid to you. As for the Blood Swan Kiss, only someone who uses deadly poisons can bring out its full value."

"As for this Lovesick Heartbreak Red, it's the most precious of all these immortal herbs. It has already far surpassed immortal grade and reached divine grade."

"Give it to the person you treasure most. If you can make it bloom, it will never wither and will protect the person most important to you at all times."

Jiang Li had no intention of laying claim to the Lovesick Heartbreak Red.

The reason was simple: he did not think he could make it acknowledge him as its master.

Moreover, there was a fatal key point: although this thing was called an immortal herb, calling it a cursed herb would be more fitting.

Lovesickness meant separation, and heartbreak meant suffering.

Although its effects defied the heavens, it would invisibly tug at the power of fate and thereby change certain things.

Jiang Li's intention was for Qian Renxue to find a suitable opportunity to give it to Bibi Dong. On the one hand, it would ease the relationship between them. On the other, it would make Bibi Dong realize just how laughable her so-called love was.

"All right, I'll listen to you!"

Hearing Jiang Li say this, Qian Renxue put those immortal herbs away, though her hand paused slightly when she touched the Lovesick Heartbreak Red.

At this stage, the person closest and dearest to her was naturally her grandfather.

But after considering the special effects of the Lovesick Heartbreak Red, a figure immediately appeared in her mind: her mother, Bibi Dong.

Then she compared Jiang Li, who stood beside her, with Bibi Dong.

For a moment, she did not know how to weigh them against each other.

Thus, she decided to put this immortal herb away for now and leave the matter for another day.

"As for this singular velvet sky chrysanthemum, Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew, and nine-grade purple ganoderma, I'll keep them."

"Of these three immortal herbs, I intend to consume two myself and give the other to my teacher. As for the remaining herbs, we can wait a while and refine them into pills once both of us have grown stronger."

"And that cockscomb phoenix sunflower-you can consume it yourself. It can greatly enhance the fire attribute within your Martial Soul..."

At this point, Jiang Li's voice abruptly stopped.

Through the Blood Pact, he could sense that the fire attribute contained within Qian Renxue's Martial Soul had already undergone a qualitative transformation.

Clearly, she no longer had any use for it.

He pondered for a long time before finally choosing the singular velvet sky chrysanthemum and Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew.

The benefits of improving his spiritual power went without saying. His reason for choosing the singular velvet sky chrysanthemum was simple: not only could it strengthen his physique and improve his aptitude, but it could also open the meridians within his body and increase his cultivation speed.

In truth, Jiang Li had thought of Long Haochen and considered selecting a suitable immortal herb for him, but after repeated deliberation, he did not act on it.

The reason was simple: he was somewhat reluctant to part with one.

Besides, this junior brother of his was the Child of Light of this era, a person chosen by destiny. He would not lack fortuitous opportunities.

And ultimately, these immortal herbs did not belong to him. That was why he had not mentioned Long Haochen.
