“Mm, the medicinal power of the Immortal Herb was absorbed quite well.”
Du Busi walked over, pressed his palm lightly against Wei Na’s shoulder, and carefully sensed her condition for a moment before nodding with satisfaction.
“You are currently only one Spirit Ring away from breaking through to the Spirit King realm.
After returning to the Sect and hunting for a suitable fifth Spirit Ring, it is difficult to say exactly how high your spirit power can rise, but with the medicinal power of the Eight-petal Immortal Orchid still remaining within your body, I reckon you can reach at least level 53, and level 54 is not impossible if you have a little luck.”
Hearing this, Wei Na’s eyes lit up slightly, and she immediately nodded.
The effect of the Eight-petal Immortal Orchid in consolidating her foundation was still continuing, and after she obtained her fifth Spirit Ring, the lingering medicinal power would continue to nourish her body and push her cultivation forward.
Most importantly, after consuming the Immortal Herbs, their innate talents had been further enhanced, meaning that their future cultivation speed would be even faster than before they consumed the Immortal Herbs.
The benefits of the herbs were not limited to the immediate increase in spirit power, but would continue to influence their cultivation for a long time to come.
Long Aotian and Wei Na exchanged glances.
Under the influence of the Twin-flower Thousand Illusion Garand, their mental forces still faintly clung to one another, making the connection between them even more natural and tacit than before they had consumed the Immortal Herb.
Long Aotian reached out and tried to wrap his arm around Wei Na’s shoulder, but she gently swatted his hand away, although the corners of her mouth were already curved upward, clearly revealing that she was not truly annoyed.
Right at this moment, Long Aoyu walked over.
Seeing him approach, Long Aotian immediately asked, “What level are you at now?”
“Level 57.”
“You’re catching up to me so quickly…”
Long Aotian instantly felt a strong sense of pressure.
Not long ago, he still led Long Aoyu by a full eight levels of spirit power, but now the gap between the two brothers had been reduced to only three levels.
What a joke!
Clearly, they were biological brothers, so why was there such a huge difference in their cultivation talent?
Long Aotian had always been confident in his own talent, especially after reaching level 60 at only fifteen years old, but watching Long Aoyu rapidly close the gap made even him feel somewhat helpless.
Du Busi looked at the three youths, and an amused expression lingered deep within his eyes.
He was naturally pleased to see his disciples competing with one another, especially when both of them possessed extraordinary talent.
Competition between geniuses could often become the strongest driving force for cultivation.
Afterwards, Du Busi turned his head and glanced at Dugu Bo before looking toward the medicinal herbs covering the entire valley.
After pondering for a moment, he finally spoke.
“Although Immortal Herbs are nurtured by heaven and earth and are extremely precious, after all, you have occupied this place for many years.
Now that you have also joined my Body Sect and become a Guest Elder, this old man can let you choose one Immortal Herb.
In addition, for your granddaughter Dugu Yan, this old man will grant her another spiritual medicine of a slightly lower grade.”
Hearing this, Dugu Bo was stunned for a moment, and then pleasant surprise immediately flashed through his eyes.
He had originally thought that his medicinal garden would be emptied completely and that he might not even be able to keep a single precious herb.
He never expected that Du Busi would take the initiative to offer one Immortal Herb to him and another spiritual medicine to his granddaughter.
Although there was only one Immortal Herb and the other medicine was of a slightly lower quality, this treatment was already extremely generous.
After all, these were treasures nurtured by the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, and even Dugu Bo had spent countless years protecting this medicinal garden.
However, Dugu Bo did not immediately agree.
Instead, he cupped his hands and respectfully said, “Thank you for your generous kindness, Sect Master.
This junior is extremely grateful.
It is just that this junior has a presumptuous request.
Can my share of the Immortal Herb be given to my granddaughter Yanzi instead?”
“She is young and frail, and her foundation is not as stable as it should be.
If she can obtain an Immortal Herb to cleanse her marrow, strengthen her body, and reshape her foundation, her path of cultivation in the future will certainly be much smoother than this junior’s.”
“This junior is already getting old, and my aptitude has already been determined.
Taking a spiritual medicine of a slightly lower grade is quite enough for me.”
“You really are a granddaughter slave.”
Du Busi glanced at Dugu Bo with a trace of surprise in his eyes before shaking his head and nodding.
“Fine, then it shall be as you wish.”
Dugu Bo’s expression immediately became somewhat troubled again. Follow the newest chapters on g.com.
He scratched his head before asking, “Please help me choose, Sect Master.
I have spent many years studying poison, but I do not recognize all these Immortal Herbs.”
“Very well.”
Du Busi nodded, then looked toward Elder Wei and Elder Zhao.
“Old Wei, Old Zhao, the two of you also choose an Immortal Herb each.”
“Thank you, Sect Master!”
Elder Wei and Elder Zhao exchanged glances and did not decline.
After all, they had followed Du Busi here and had also contributed to the Body Sect for many years.
If they could obtain an Immortal Herb suitable for their Martial Souls, it would naturally be an enormous opportunity.
Du Busi walked into the patch of medicinal herbs with his hands behind his back, his gaze sweeping across the countless precious plants growing throughout the valley.
After carefully examining them one by one, his eyes finally stopped in front of a strange fruit that was pitch black and green all over.
Dark patterns flowed slowly across the surface of the fruit, forming a shape resembling a heart, while a faint, chilly halo continuously circulated around it.
Even from a distance, it gave off an extremely strange and dangerous feeling.
“This one is called the Netherworld Yellow Springs Fruit, and it is a genuine Immortal Herb.”
Du Busi pointed at the fruit and explained, “It is an ultimate poisonous Immortal Herb.
Consuming it can sublimate one’s own toxicity and purify the origin of one’s Martial Soul.
For a poison-attribute Spirit Master, it can be considered a complete rebirth, allowing the cultivator’s control over their own poison to reach an entirely new level.”
“However, this fruit requires a special cultivation technique to assist and guide the medicinal power.
Otherwise, the backlash produced by its terrifying medicinal properties will be extremely dangerous.”
“Ah?”
Dugu Bo had originally been delighted, but upon hearing this, his expression immediately changed, and he became nervous.
“Then what should we do?”
“Look at you, getting anxious again.”
Du Busi smiled and shook his head, clearly amused by Dugu Bo’s reaction.
“Take it back first.
When this old man returns to the Sect, I will look up the corresponding ancient texts and find the appropriate method for refining the Netherworld Yellow Springs Fruit.
At that time, I will personally instruct your granddaughter on how to refine it, so there is no need for you to worry.”
“Thank you, Sect Master!”
Dugu Bo’s eyes lit up brightly, and he quickly thanked Du Busi.
His attitude was extremely respectful, clearly relieved that his granddaughter’s safety had been taken into consideration.
Du Busi then walked over to another snake-shaped plant covered in purple patterns and stopped in front of it.
“This one is called the Purple-spotted Snake Star.
Although it does not reach the standard of an Immortal Herb, its properties are extremely compatible with the Jade Phosphor Serpent Martial Soul, so it is quite suitable for you to consume.
It can help refine and purify the poison power within your body, while also further strengthening your control over your Martial Soul.”
Dugu Bo immediately bowed deeply.
“Thank you for your guidance, Sect Master!”
Du Busi waved his hand, signaling him to get up, then turned his head toward Elder Wei and Elder Zhao.
“Old Wei, Old Zhao, have you chosen yet?”
“Done.”
“Done, Sect Master.”
Elder Wei took the lead and cupped his hands before saying, “Sect Master, what I have chosen is this Silver Frost Listening-sound Grass.”
Elder Wei opened the jade box in his hand.
Inside was a peculiar herb that was silvery-white all over, with leaves shaped like small auricles.
“This Immortal Herb can enhance auditory perception and mental force, which is of great benefit to my Ear Martial Soul.
With it, my perception should be able to rise to another level.”
Du Busi glanced at the Silver Frost Listening-sound Grass and nodded.
“Silver Frost Listening-sound Grass, it is indeed suitable for you.
Your Martial Soul is naturally inclined toward perception, and this Immortal Herb can make up for some of its shortcomings while further strengthening your greatest advantage.”
“Hehe, the one I chose might not have such a high degree of compatibility.”
Elder Zhao also stepped forward and took out a strange crimson vine from a jade box.
Its roots were thick and powerful, while its entire body was covered in faint golden-red lines, as though flames were flowing beneath its surface.
“Elder Zhao, you’ve chosen very well.”
Long Aoyu leaned over and took a closer look.
His eyes immediately revealed a trace of surprise as he recognized the herb.
“Blazing Sun Fire Dragon Vine, a fire-attribute Immortal Herb.
Although its primary attribute is fire, it can also greatly enhance the explosive strength and impact force of the legs, making it one of the top-tier supplementary Immortal Herbs for foot-attribute Martial Souls.”
“What Xiaoyu said is correct.”
Du Busi glanced at the Blazing Sun Fire Dragon Vine and nodded.
“These two Immortal Herbs match your Martial Souls very well.
After returning to the Sect, refining and absorbing the Immortal Herbs will definitely allow the two of you to take another step forward.
As long as you carefully consolidate your cultivation afterward, your combat strength should increase considerably.”
Elder Wei and Elder Zhao each carefully put away their Immortal Herbs, their faces filled with smiles.
Obtaining an Immortal Herb that perfectly matched their Martial Souls was undoubtedly a great opportunity, and they naturally did not want to waste a single moment before returning to the Sect to begin refining them.
Du Busi then turned back toward Dugu Bo.
“Put the Immortal Herbs away.
You can pluck them directly.”
“Alright!”
Dugu Bo could no longer wait.
He immediately took out his Wishful Hundred Treasure Purse and carefully stored the Purple-spotted Snake Star and the Netherworld Yellow Springs Fruit inside, making sure not to damage the medicinal power contained within them.
Du Busi also took out a special Spirit Tool, the Heaven-hiding Ring.
The Wishful Hundred Treasure Purse was not the only Spirit Tool capable of storing living plants.
The Body Sect possessed a long and profound inheritance, and over countless years, it had naturally accumulated many unique Spirit Tools.
The Heaven-hiding Ring was one of the treasures specifically designed to preserve living medicinal plants.
As the Young Sect Master of the Body Sect, Long Aoyu also possessed a Spirit Tool capable of storing living creatures and medicinal plants, although the internal space was slightly smaller than that of Du Busi’s Heaven-hiding Ring.
“Mine, they are all mine…”
Du Busi’s fingers moved slightly as powerful spirit power spread from his body.
Under his precise control, the surrounding Immortal Herbs and precious spiritual medicines were carefully moved into the Heaven-hiding Ring, with their roots, surrounding soil, and even the structure of the earth around them being preserved as completely as possible.
The Yearning Heartbroken Red, Looking Through Autumn Water Dew, Silk Tulip, Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower, Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone, Tulip of Entangling Fragrance, Snow Swan’s Kiss, Earth Dragon Golden Melon, Ink Jade Divine Bamboo, and countless other rare treasures were successively transferred into the Heaven-hiding Ring.
In addition to these top-tier Immortal Herbs, there were also second-tier spiritual medicines such as the Nine-colored Moon Orchid, Cinnabar Lotus, Snow Silkworm, and many other precious plants.
Although these medicines were not comparable to genuine Immortal Herbs, they were still extremely valuable cultivation resources and could greatly benefit the younger disciples of the Body Sect.
Du Busi moved them into the Heaven-hiding Ring one by one with fast and steady movements, ensuring that every plant retained a complete root system and sufficient surrounding soil.
His control over his spirit power was extremely precise, and not a single medicinal plant was damaged during the entire process.
As for those Immature Immortal Herbs that had not yet fully matured, Du Busi did not take them away.
He understood that if all the Immortal Herbs were removed without consideration for the future, this precious medicinal garden would eventually become exhausted.
Leaving the immature herbs behind would allow them to continue growing and ensure that the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well could continue nurturing precious medicinal treasures in the future.
Long Aoyu stood nearby and watched the entire process, his eyes filled with joy.
This time, the Body Sect had truly obtained a bumper harvest.
With so many Immortal Herbs and precious spiritual medicines, the foundation of the Body Sect would become even deeper, and its disciples would have access to far greater cultivation resources in the future.
With these Immortal Herbs, the strength of the Body Sect would definitely be greatly enhanced!
