Chapter 30 Harvesting Immortal Herbs
"Ahem~" Dugu Bo felt uneasy watching the two of them being so affectionate, so he deliberately coughed. Then, his face darkened slightly, and he looked at the two of them with displeasure, saying:
"How long are you two going to keep hugging? Can't you see I'm still here? Honestly, you have no respect for the elderly at all."
Dugu Yan also released Yu Tianyun at the right time, her pretty face blushing with shyness, but her gaze towards Dugu Bo clearly carried a hint of reproach!
As Dugu Yan loosened her embrace, Yu Tianyun still held her hand, looking indifferently at the old man who had disturbed them. He seemed to be saying, "What can you do to me, old man!"
Seeing the two of them behaving this way, especially Dugu Yan's reproachful look, Dugu Bo felt wronged and resentful.
After raising this cabbage for so many years, it still ends up benefiting this pig, Yu Tianyun. Although he is very satisfied with Yu Tianyun in every way, he still feels very uncomfortable.
He then said in an unfriendly tone, "You brat, didn't you say you were going to pick out a magical herb for me too? All you know is romance! Hurry up and bring it to me!"
Yu Tianyun glanced at Dugu Bo sideways, then led him to a snow-white, eerie flower shaped like a swan. Thinking of the characteristics of this immortal herb, he couldn't help but feel sorry for the lonely old man who had lost the immortal herb and given away his granddaughter.
He said in a calm tone, "Grandpa, this immortal herb is called Snow Swan's Kiss. It is different from other immortal herbs. It does not contain any toxins, but it can infinitely stimulate and amplify the effects of poisons. Even very ordinary trace amounts of toxins will be turned into highly toxic substances by it."
Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo quickly jumped back about ten meters and restrained his soul power to the extreme, appearing completely at ease.
If he were to release even a trace of the Azure Phosphorus Serpent's venom, and then it were amplified by the Snow-White Swan's Kiss, the three of them would likely die instantly from the poison, and the entire Sunset Forest would also be doomed.
Dugu Bo felt a lingering fear upon thinking about this. He quickly interrupted Yu Tianyun, cursing, "You brat, you're not planning to poison me so you and Yan Yan can inherit my fortune, are you? Is this medicine even fit for human consumption?"
"Grandpa, please listen to my excuse... no... Grandpa, please let me explain."
Although this immortal herb is very dangerous, if Grandpa takes it slowly, only a little at a time, and combines its medicinal effects with his soul bone, how terrifying will your poison become then?
Moreover, Grandpa really can't eat now. There are still a lot of toxins in your body that have invaded your bone marrow and are out of control. If you eat now, you will definitely die from poisoning.
But once you have transferred all the toxins to your soul bone, and there are no more toxins in your flesh and bones, you can gradually refine this immortal herb!
"However, there might be a little pain during this process." Yu Tianyun carefully explained to Dugu Bo, but he concealed one thing: the process might not just be a little painful.
Upon hearing Yu Tianyun's words, Dugu Bo's eyes gleamed with excitement, clearly showing his interest. However, the thought that the toxins in his body had not yet been cleared made him feel somewhat helpless, as he would have to wait another six months!
Disheartened, he said, "In that case, let's go back first! Let Yan Yan absorb that immortal herb."
"Grandpa, don't worry. This Acacia Heartbreak Red is very miraculous; it will automatically protect itself, so Yanyan won't be affected when she absorbs it here. Also, Grandpa, may I take some of the immortal herbs with me?" Yu Tianyun quickly stopped him, looking at Dugu Bo with hopeful eyes, after all, he still had a large family member who needed the immortal herbs!
"Take whatever you want, just don't destroy this place. Anyway, I don't recognize any of those immortal herbs, so they're useless here. Besides, they're going to be left for you and Yan Yan sooner or later anyway, so consider them Yan Yan's dowry. Just treat Yan Yan well in the future." Dugu Bo seemed indifferent to Yu Tianyun's request and readily agreed.
But he paused, his gaze fixed intently on Yu Tianyun, as if trying to regain face after what had just happened, and threatened Yu Tianyun with an air of arrogance: "If I find out that Yanyan has suffered even the slightest injustice, I will absolutely not let you off the hook!"
Yu Tianyun nodded heavily, his expression firm, and replied to Dugu Bo with utmost seriousness: "Grandpa, rest assured, I will never let Yanyan down. I will dedicate my life to protecting Yanyan."
But then, Dugu Yan couldn't stand it anymore. She moved gracefully to Yu Tianyun's side, wrapped her arms around his strong right arm, and glared at Dugu Bo with fierce eyes, like an angry female leopard: "Old man, if you keep bullying Tianyun like this, I will never talk to you again. How could Tianyun let me suffer? I believe in Tianyun."
Faced with Dugu Yan's protective behavior towards her husband, Dugu Bo's face immediately turned as black as the bottom of a pot, and he wanted to get angry.
Seeing Dugu Yan's fierce eyes, he dared not say anything, fearing that his beloved granddaughter would never speak to him again. A sense of frustration welled up inside him, and he walked alone, sullen and unhappy, to a corner.
Yu Tianyun looked at Dugu Yan and gently comforted her, saying, "Yan Yan, don't talk to Grandpa like that. Grandpa is only doing this for your own good. Go and consume this Acacia Heartbreak Red. Once you've refined the Acacia Heartbreak Red, you should be able to break through to level forty. Then we can go hunting for soul rings together!"
"Okay, I'll go refine it now." Dugu Yan obediently replied to Yu Tianyun, then asked softly, "By the way, how should we eat it?"
"The method of taking Acacia Heartbreak Red is very simple; just eat the flowers directly," Yu Tianyun replied gently.
"Oh, then I'll go refine it now, *kiss*!" Dugu Yan replied obediently, then gave Yu Tianyun a light kiss on the handsome face before happily running to the side to absorb the immortal herb.
Next, Yu Tianyun's excited gaze fell upon the immortal herbs scattered all over the ground.
The first thing that catches the eye is a huge chrysanthemum, a magnificent purple. Each petal looks fuzzy and incredibly cute. The entire chrysanthemum is perfectly integrated, emitting no fragrance, and the central stamen rises more than half a foot above the petals! A faint golden light shimmers at the tip—this is the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum!
Consuming it can circulate qi in the limbs, open the eight meridians, and cultivate an indestructible body. Without hesitation, Yu Tianyun picked it and put it into a jade box. Yu Tianyun decided to give this immortal herb to his father!
Then Yu Tianyun went to the Narcissus Jade Bone plant he had visited before, picked it, and put it into an iron box. This immortal herb complemented the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum, and Yu Tianyun planned to give it to his mother.
An eight-petaled orchid, its petals trembling slightly, its entire body pure white and crystal clear, giving people a sense of purity and otherworldliness. The orchid's fragrance is refreshing and invigorating. An eight-petaled fairy orchid!
It has the effects of strengthening the body's foundation and removing impurities. Yu Tianyun didn't yet have a suitable candidate in mind for this immortal herb, because it was so versatile that anyone could use it. Yu Tianyun didn't let it go either, picking it and planning to distribute it later.
Yu Tianyun then looked at another immortal herb. This herb appeared rather simple, composed only of red, cockscomb-shaped leaves. However, upon closer inspection, its unique feature became apparent: its leaves were a deep reddish-gold color—it was indeed the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower! Yu Tianyun didn't have a suitable recipient for this one either, but he still kept it for now.
Later, Yu Tianyun discovered a blood-red plant with a canopy-like top and an emerald-green stem, bearing nine leaves, named the Ninth-Grade Dragon Fungus. Similar in shape to the Ninth-Grade Purple Fungus, only different in color, it was a celestial-grade herb, possessing the effects of strengthening the foundation and breaking through bottlenecks, especially effective for dragon-type martial souls! Yu Tianyun planned to leave this celestial herb to his grandfather, Yu Yuanzhen, to help him reach level ninety-seven, and even potentially level ninety-eight in the future!
After putting away the Ninth Grade Dragon Fungus, Yu Tianyun prepared to go searching for more immortal herbs.
But just then, he saw a strange, magical herb. Its roots and leaves were like dense, intricately combed vines, but at its tip was a golden tulip, exuding a rich fragrance and giving it a magnificent appearance. It was the Qiluo Tulip!
This immortal herb was destined for Rongrong's wife, so Yu Tianyun took it without hesitation.
But he couldn't help feeling a little guilty towards Dugu Yan. After all, taking Yan Yan's dowry to give to Rong Rong's wife was definitely the behavior of a scumbag!
It seems I'll have to make it up to Yan Yan's wife more in the future.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel a little ashamed for the old man hiding in the corner. He had kidnapped someone's granddaughter and then used the dowry that the granddaughter was prepared for to coax other girls.
Yu Tianyun felt that if he were to gain the approval of the Acacia Heartbreak Red, even if he spat out all his blood, the flower might not even tremble!
Without further thought, Yu Tianyun continued harvesting the immortal herbs. The Primordial Immortal Herb, the Ink Jade Divine Bamboo, the Earth Dragon Golden Melon, the Star Luo Spirit Pearl, and the Ninth-Grade Purple Ganoderma were all placed into Yu Tianyun's storage soul guide.
Among them, the Primordial Immortal Herb was the most valued by Yu Tianyun. The greatest function of this immortal herb was to enhance soul power and compress it to form a soul core. Knowing the future history, Yu Tianyun was well aware of the importance of the soul core. He planned to absorb this immortal herb after the medicinal power of the Eight-Cornered Profound Ice Grass and the Blazing Apricot Delicate Grass had been fully digested.
……
Finally, Yu Tianyun looked at an inconspicuous herb. The herb was entirely green, but strangely, there were three snow-white leaves in the center of the herb, and a few water droplets in the center of the leaves, like dew left in the morning.
Longing for you until my eyes are dry!
Consuming it can cultivate a pair of fiery eyes that can see through everything. Moreover, due to its special medicinal properties, it will not conflict with other immortal herbs. This is exactly the immortal herb that Yu Tianyun needs most on this trip, and it is the key to his fourth soul ring breaking through the ten-thousand-year limit.
However, recalling the fact that this immortal herb could grant the ability to see through all things after consumption, Yu Tianyun couldn't help but reveal a slightly lewd smile.
Now, I'll be in for a real treat, but at the same time, I can't help but feel a bit of contempt for that self-proclaimed "pure and innocent" little bastard!
