Back at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, the Divine Realm's Schemes Began to Emerge, and Tang San Gave Dugu Bo an Immortal Herb!

Sunset Forest.

At the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

Dugu Bo tossed his hair and looked at Tang San with some curiosity.

"You little brat, you're pretty well informed."

"The Immortal Herbs I finally managed to grow have barely been up for a few days, and here you are?"

Tang San's pupils contracted as he looked at the plants beside the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

There was no mistake. Those were undoubtedly Immortal Herbs!

And the ones that had sprouted near the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well were none other than the Nine-Grade Immortal Ganoderma, Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower, and Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid!

Beside these Immortal Herbs were several little shoots that seemed ready to break through the soil at any moment.

"How is this possible?"

Tang San knew the growth cycles of these Immortal Herbs. They could not possibly have grown back in such a short time.

Dugu Bo shrugged. "You don't know either?"

"I really thought a Little Monster like you knew everything. I don't recognize these Immortal Herbs, but I've observed their growth before. They've never grown this fast."

"If I hadn't tried sensing things here, I would've thought something had happened to this treasured land."

Frowning, Tang San stepped forward and tried to pick the Nine-Grade Immortal Ganoderma. To his surprise, the moment he touched it, it rotted away, losing all its medicinal potency.

"This is..."

Tang San knew perfectly well that there had been absolutely nothing wrong with the way he had picked it. By all rights, this should not have happened.

In that case, only one possibility could explain this abnormal situation.

In the world of the Douluo Continent, whenever anything unusual happened, there was no need to think-it was definitely the mighty hand of the Divine Realm at work.

It seemed someone in the Divine Realm was plotting something.

The God King Tang only transmigrated to the Douluo Continent in the first place because Asura had chosen him.

Tang San stood up and began to ponder.

This time, the Shrek Seven Monsters were reborn, and I transmigrated into the Great God King Tang. It seems things aren't that simple. The Divine Realm must be lurking behind this.

I just don't know how many gods are involved, or how many are on my side.

After pondering for a moment, Tang San looked at Dugu Bo.

"Old Monster, try picking the remaining ones."

At this, Dugu Bo raised an eyebrow. "You little brat, now you're ordering me around? Tsk, tsk. These things have to be picked according to the proper procedure, or they'll lose all their medicinal potency. You think I don't know that?"

Despite his words, Dugu Bo still stepped forward and carefully reached toward the Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid.

Sure enough, the moment he touched it, the Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid also rotted away, losing all its medicinal potency and becoming an ordinary plant.

"See?"

Dugu Bo shook the Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid in his hand, now devoid of medicinal potency, and showed it to Tang San.

Seeing this, Tang San relaxed slightly.

It seemed these Immortal Herbs that had suddenly sprouted were not something anyone but him could pick. He simply did not know whether the Divine Realm had specially prepared them for the other members of the Shrek Seven Monsters.

But even if they had been specially prepared, it did not matter.

Even gods could not make Immortal Herbs regrow many times. Otherwise, they might as well descend to the mortal world and give the other members of the Shrek Seven Monsters some different cheats. Tang San was confident he could keep them from ever coming into contact with Immortal Herbs in this lifetime.

Tang San sneered. Though the gods in the Divine Realm were powerful, they also faced many restrictions and could not act freely on the Douluo Continent. Otherwise, they would have descended and taken action themselves long ago.

At the same time, the Divine Realm was not a solid slab of iron either; it was divided into factions. Even the God King Tang had encountered internal strife in the Divine Realm. With the gods holding one another in check, interfering in the Douluo Continent's internal affairs was not so easy.

With a shift of his thoughts, Tang San sensed his God Slayer Insight. Finding it still there, he was no longer particularly worried.

This meant Asura was still backing him!

With Asura's support, Tang San felt considerably more confident, though he also felt somewhat fortunate. Luckily, he had joined Spirit Hall.

Otherwise, with the Divine Realm watching him, no backing of his own, and the other members of the Shrek Seven Monsters all reborn, finding opportunities to give himself cheats would not have been so simple.

Thinking of Spirit Hall, Tang San also thought of Bibi Dong and the Rakshasa God behind her. He wondered what the Rakshasa God's situation was now.

I wonder who's opposing the God King Tang-or rather, Asura.

At that thought, Tang San turned back to Dugu Bo.

"Old Monster, these newly grown ones are probably mutated varieties. Just pull them all out, or they'll affect the others."

"I reckon a few more will grow afterward. Just pull all of those out too. If they grow back again, you can come find me at Spirit Hall."

Hearing Tang San's words, Dugu Bo was somewhat skeptical.

"How do you know so much?"

"All right. Judging by the look of you, you really do know more about these Immortal Herbs than I do."

"Does this count as one of those three conditions?"

Tang San was just about to speak when Dugu Bo laughed and patted his shoulder.

"Look at you. I'm only teasing."

"You helped my granddaughter solve such a huge problem. I still owe you a favor. There's no need to say anything more over something this trivial."

"When you have time, come back to Heaven Dou Royal Academy for a visit. My granddaughter wants to thank you in person. Oh, right, do you have a spirit pact now, brat?"

After saying that, Dugu Bo paused, then stroked his chin.

"Even if you're engaged, it doesn't matter. A man of ambition takes nine wives. My granddaughter is so outstanding, she's certainly worthy of you."

Tang San had not expected Dugu Bo to suddenly steer the conversation here, and he was momentarily speechless.

"Why don't you ask your granddaughter first?"

Dugu Bo waved a large hand. "Tch, what does a child like her know? Besides, a Little Monster like you is a rare genius. She isn't blind. How could she not take a liking to you?"

"All right, I won't force any of this. You came for this matter, didn't you? If there's nothing else, get going. Don't waste time."

"These Immortal Herbs seem pretty important to you. Don't worry. I definitely won't let anyone else get their hands on them."

Though these words seemed to be shooing Tang San away, the concern within them still sent a warm current through his heart.

Dugu Bo, that old monster, might have had an eccentric temper, but whether toward Tang San or the God King Tang, there was truly nothing to fault. He treated them remarkably well.

He gave away Immortal Herbs without hesitation, and when trouble came later, he really did step up.

He did not even have any faction or deity behind him. He was sincerely good to Tang San. Though the favor of curing his poison was no small thing, Dugu Bo had likewise done a great deal. It could be said that he had long since repaid that favor, with far more to spare.

Taking a deep breath, Tang San handed Dugu Bo a box.

Seeing the box appear before him, Dugu Bo was somewhat surprised and raised an eyebrow.

"What's this? A gift?"

"With our relationship, what do I need this sort of thing for? Since when did you learn all these twists and turns, you little brat? That's not like you."

A smile appeared on Tang San's face. This Old Poison's tongue was still as venomous as ever.

"This is an Immortal Herb I picked earlier. It'll be useful to you too."

"Take it!"
