Dragon Rhyme Immortal Ganoderma Pill

In the hotpot broth, only a small slice each of the Ten-Thousand-Year Ginseng King and Ten-Thousand-Year Angelica had been added. The bulk of the ginseng and angelica was only a few thousand years old.

Mixed together like this, Yang Wudi felt that the medicinal potency of the ginseng and angelica in the mouthful of broth he had drunk was somewhat inferior to that of the ten-thousand-year herbs, yet superior to ordinary ones.

Under normal circumstances, Yang Wudi, with his deep understanding of medicinal principles, would certainly have been able to savor the traces of Ten-Thousand-Year Ginseng King and Ten-Thousand-Year Angelica in the broth.

But at this moment, troubled and distracted, Yang Wudi did not think that far. Instead, he looked at Lin Rong expectantly and asked:

"What is the most precious herb in that place? May this old man take a look?"

"This..." Lin Rong hesitated, wondering which herb would be best to bring out as a distraction. In any case, it was impossible for him to reveal the few remaining Immortal Grade Medicinal Herbs.

Seeing this, Yang Wudi assumed that Lin Rong was reluctant and hurriedly said:

"This old man can refine medicine for you free of charge. If the herb is rare enough, I can even provide my own herbs to refine medicine for you!"

"Really? Chief Yang, your word must be as good as gold. Don't go back on it." Lin Rong smiled in agreement, already having decided which herb to bring out.

A flash of light gleamed from his right wrist, and a massive ganoderma appeared in Lin Rong's hand.

The ganoderma had nine leaves and was dark yellow overall. Faint golden patterns ran across its leaves, resembling dragon scales.

"Nine-Rank Dragon Ganoderma!"

Yang Wudi's keen eyes immediately recognized the ganoderma in Lin Rong's hand, and the name escaped from his trembling lips.

Like the Nine-Rank Purple Ganoderma, the Nine-Rank Dragon Ganoderma was among the finest ganodermas. It was also one of the rare medicinal herbs in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye that ranked just below Immortal Grade Medicinal Herbs.

It was rare enough, yet it did not belong to the immortal grade.

Therefore, Lin Rong bringing it out would not make Yang Wudi suspect that Immortal Grade Medicinal Herbs actually grew in that place.

"Chief Yang, I believe this Nine-Rank Dragon Ganoderma should be enough for you to provide your own herbs and refine medicine for me free of charge, right?"

As he spoke, Lin Rong handed the ganoderma to Yang Wudi.

"Enough! Of course it's enough!" The gloom on Yang Wudi's face vanished instantly. He accepted the ganoderma with trembling hands, his eyes full of obsession for medicinal herbs.

After a long while, Yang Wudi put away the Nine-Rank Dragon Ganoderma.

In his excellent mood, he took the initiative to explain why he had come calling.

Among the Single Attribute Four Great Clans, the Strength Clan had long since joined the Tang Sect.

Of the remaining three clans, Niu Gao, chief of the Defense Clan and a longtime friend of Tai Tan, had decisively joined the Tang Sect after witnessing the power of Buddha's Fury Tang Lotus that day, without the slightest hesitation.

Bai He, chief of the Speed Clan, had long favored joining the Tang Sect. However, out of consideration for Yang Wudi's pride and their friendship, he had felt too embarrassed to agree outright.

Yang Wudi had been equally straightforward, telling Old White Bird to choose between him and the Tang Sect.

In the end, Bai He still chose to join the Tang Sect. He even produced ten thousand Gold Soul Coins to repay Yang Wudi, declaring that the debts the Speed Clan had owed the Breaking Clan over the years were now settled in full.

Yang Wudi had been so furious that he turned and left.

After returning to Heaven Dou City and leaving the Strength Clan's estate with several clansmen, he had originally intended to head straight back to the Star Luo Empire.

But before departing, Yang Wudi suddenly remembered the place Lin Rong had mentioned, where rare medicinal herbs grew.

So Yang Wudi had his clansmen find somewhere to stay while he came over to see exactly what rare herbs Lin Rong had picked.

"When did that faithless Old White Bird become so generous? Where did he get the money?"

Yang Wudi complained as he dipped food into the hotpot.

Where else could the money have come from? Of course I gave it to him, Lin Rong silently grumbled to himself. I bought the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng for one million Gold Soul Coins. That old Bai He got rich overnight, so naturally he started spending lavishly!

But he could not say that in front of Yang Wudi.

Now that Tang San had subdued the Strength, Defense, and Speed Clans, his power had risen greatly.

But it was still far from enough to confront Qian Renxue.

Tang San needed time to build up the Tang Sect, and Lin Rong himself also needed time to develop his own forces.

Once the time was right, he could step in and steer the conflict between Tang San and Qian Renxue, allowing himself to reap the rewards as a third party.

After considering these matters, Lin Rong looked at Yang Wudi, who was dipping food into the hotpot, and once again felt the urge to recruit him.

Since Yang Wudi had already severed ties with Bai He, Lin Rong no longer had any concerns.

However, he still lacked a suitable opportunity.

Lin Rong possessed the Aromatic Silk Beauty, enough to make the medicine-obsessed Yang Wudi submit. But if he wanted the battle-obsessed Yang Wudi to submit as well, his own strength was still far too lacking.

Thus, the matter could only be discussed another day.

After finishing the hotpot meal, Yang Wudi asked Lin Rong for a quiet room and began refining medicine.

A medicine fanatic truly lived up to the name. His efficiency in refining medicine was incredibly high.

He began refining at noon that day, and by the following evening, he had completed a pill with the Nine-Rank Dragon Ganoderma as its main ingredient, supplemented by numerous rare herbs from his own collection.

"This pill is called the Dragon Rhyme Immortal Ganoderma Pill. It is a top-grade pill with exceptionally comprehensive effects."

Yang Wudi held a jade bottle and removed a pill that blended milky white and pale gold. He introduced it, saying:

"It can improve one's aptitude, cleanse the marrow and temper the body, increase Soul Power, and provide many other benefits."

"The lower one's aptitude and the younger one's age, the better the Dragon Rhyme Immortal Ganoderma Pill's effects in improving aptitude and cleansing the marrow and body."

"The older one is and the higher one's aptitude, the more limited the Dragon Rhyme Immortal Ganoderma Pill's improvement in these aspects becomes. Most of its medicinal power will instead be used to raise Soul Power."

"This pill builds drug resistance. A person may take at most three; moreover, with each additional Dragon Rhyme Immortal Ganoderma Pill consumed, its effectiveness will be halved."

"Furthermore, the Dragon Rhyme Immortal Ganoderma Pill has the miraculous effect of promoting Martial Soul Evolution for those who possess dragon-type Martial Souls. The lower the quality of the dragon-type Martial Soul, the better the effect."

"Lastly, this pill's effect in raising Soul Power is relatively significant for Soul Masters below level fifty. After level fifty, the increase in Soul Power is barely worth mentioning, little more than a drop in the bucket."

"This old man refined twelve pills in total this time. They are all here. Count them yourself."

Lin Rong accepted the jade bottle. Catching the pill's distinct, refreshing fragrance, he could not help but sigh that alchemy truly was a fine craft.

Although the Dragon Rhyme Immortal Ganoderma Pill could only raise his Soul Power, what he lacked most at the moment was precisely his Soul Power Level.

Thus, the Dragon Rhyme Immortal Ganoderma Pill was still quite useful to Lin Rong.

After handing the pills to Lin Rong, Yang Wudi rose to take his leave.

Seeing this, Lin Rong politely tried to persuade him to stay, but Yang Wudi bluntly said that he could not keep those clansmen waiting in Heaven Dou City for too long, refusing his invitation.

Lin Rong did not mind. He had only been polite anyway; it was not as though he truly wanted Yang Wudi to stay the night.

With a Soul Douluo who was not loyal to him staying in his home, Lin Rong truly could not rest easy. He did not feel safe at all.

Thus, Lin Rong lowered his head to look at the jade bottle and thought:

"The Dragon Rhyme Immortal Ganoderma Pill smells quite nice. I wonder what it tastes like—whether it tastes like candy."

"Mm, I'll try one later!"
