“Mn, almost done.”
Du Busi put away the Heaven-hiding Ring, patted his waist, and turned to look at Dugu Bo.
“Alright, I will take these herbs back to the Sect, and you will have to take care of the rest.
Go pick up your granddaughter first, then come to Wulan City.
Someone will guide you when you arrive.”
“Yes.”
Dugu Bo cupped his fists in salute again.
“Thank you, Sect Master.”
Du Busi waved his hand and turned toward the valley exit.
“Let’s go.
We are returning to the Sect.”
Long Aoyu and the other two followed behind him.
Elder Wei and Elder Zhao each carefully touched the jade boxes containing their Immortal Herbs, walking at the back of the group with smiles all over their faces.
The group soon passed through the poisonous miasma passage, left the valley, and sped toward the outskirts of the Sunset Forest.
Wulan City.
Inside the main Spirit Hall of Wulan City, Elder Chen Yuan led four key members of the Sect and stood in the center of the main hall.
The four key members were all Spirit Saint level experts, each possessing steady and restrained auras and gazes as sharp as lightning.
They stood in a neat row behind Chen Yuan, their powerful cultivation deliberately concealed but still faintly revealing an oppressive presence.
The master of the main Wulan City Spirit Hall was surnamed Li, an eighty-third rank Spirit Douluo.
He had originally been handling affairs in the back hall, but after hearing his subordinates anxiously report that five high-level Spirit Masters had arrived to visit, he immediately put aside what he was doing and personally went out to greet them.
When he walked into the main hall and his gaze fell upon the slender middle-aged man standing at the front, his footsteps unconsciously paused.
“This person…
is unfathomable!”
Hall Master Li could not see through Elder Chen’s depth.
With his cultivation as an eighty-third rank Spirit Douluo, he was completely unable to perceive the other party’s aura, as though the man standing before him had completely merged with the surrounding environment.
Although the auras of the four Spirit Saint level experts behind Elder Chen were also restrained, Hall Master Li could still tell at a glance that their cultivation was at least above the seventy-fifth rank.
Hall Master Li quickly composed himself, strode forward, cupped his fists in salute, and spoke extremely politely.
“I am Li Chengye, Hall Master of the main Wulan City Spirit Hall.
I did not know of Senior’s arrival, and I apologize for failing to greet you from afar.
Please forgive me.”
“Hall Master Li is too polite.”
Elder Chen’s expression remained calm as he nodded slightly.
“Senior, please sit.”
Li Chengye immediately gestured toward the seats.
After sitting down, Elder Chen did not exchange many pleasantries with him.
He directly took out three small cyan jade bottles from his storage Spirit Tool and gently placed them on the table.
“This is the secret Body Cleansing Pill of our Sect.
It has miraculous effects on Spirit Masters, particularly in cleansing the meridians and strengthening the physical body.
These three bottles are a greeting gift from our Sect to Spirit Hall.”
Li Chengye’s gaze immediately fell upon the three bottles of pills, and his heart moved slightly.
Body Cleansing Pill?
He had never heard of such a medicinal pill before, but something personally delivered by an expert suspected to be a Titled Douluo who had personally come to Wulan City could definitely not be an ordinary item.
Even if he had never heard of the Body Cleansing Pill, he naturally understood that anything capable of being presented by such an expert must possess considerable value.
Just as Hall Master Li was about to open his mouth and ask about the pill, Chen Yuan had already continued speaking.
“Hall Master Li will know the efficacy of the Body Cleansing Pill after trying it.
Our Sect Master intends to establish a long-term cooperative relationship with your hall and can provide these pills continuously in the future.”
“If your Supreme Pontiff is also interested in cooperation, please send someone of sufficient status and authority to the largest hotel in Wulan City to discuss the details in seven days.”
Hearing these words, Li Chengye’s heart stirred violently.
This expert was actually a member of a Sect, and there was a Sect Master above him?
That meant that the power of this mysterious Sect was likely far greater than he had initially imagined.
If even an expert whose strength was suspected to have reached the Titled Douluo realm was merely an Elder of the Sect, then the strength of the Sect Master could not be underestimated.
“Body Sect.”
“Body Sect?”
Li Chengye raised an eyebrow, carefully searching through his memories, but he was certain that he had never heard of this Sect before.
His expression changed slightly as he immediately realized that this must be a powerful secluded Sect that had rarely appeared in the outside world.
An expert suspected to be a Titled Douluo could not possibly casually lie about his identity, and there was even less reason for him to fabricate such a Sect when he had come specifically to seek cooperation with Spirit Hall.
“Body Sect…
Junior has memorized it.
Regarding the cooperation mentioned by Senior, Junior will definitely report everything truthfully to His Holiness the Supreme Pontiff.”
“Mn.”
Chen Yuan nodded slightly, stood up, and left together with the four key members of the Sect.
Li Chengye remained standing beside the table, staring at the three cyan jade bottles for a moment before reaching out and picking up one of them.
He carefully pulled out the stopper and immediately sniffed gently.
A crisp medicinal fragrance overflowed from the mouth of the bottle.
The fragrance was steady, gentle, and extremely penetrating.
Merely breathing in the medicinal aroma caused Li Chengye’s Spirit to become noticeably more active, and even his somewhat fatigued mind felt refreshed.
His expression immediately became solemn.
“Someone come.”
Li Chengye spoke in a deep voice.
A nearby Deacon quickly stepped forward.
“Hall Master.”
“Immediately arrange for someone to send these three bottles of pills to the Supreme Pontiff Palace in Spirit City.”
“Report to His Holiness the Supreme Pontiff that an expert suspected to be a Titled Douluo appeared in Wulan City, claiming to be a member of the Body Sect.
He came to visit with four high-level Spirit Saints and left behind three bottles of Body Cleansing Pills.”
“This person stated that there is a Sect Master above him and expressed interest in establishing a cooperative relationship with Spirit Hall.
Please ask His Holiness the Supreme Pontiff to make a decision regarding this matter.”
“Yes.”
The Deacon respectfully accepted the order and quickly left.
At dusk, Long Aoyu and his party hurried at full speed and finally arrived at the canyon where the Body Sect was located.
As soon as they appeared at the entrance, the guards immediately recognized them and stepped forward to salute.
“Greetings, Sect Master, Young Sect Master, and two Elders!”
Du Busi did not stop walking as he asked directly, “Have Elder Chen and the others returned?”
The guard quickly replied, “Reporting to Sect Master, Elder Chen has already returned.
He should be in the conference hall right now, and the other Elders are there as well.”
“Mn.”
Du Busi nodded and strode toward the main hall.
Long Aoyu and the others followed closely behind, their expressions relaxed after returning safely to the Sect.
When Du Busi pushed open the doors of the conference hall, the interior was brightly illuminated by candles.
Several familiar figures were already gathered inside, and the atmosphere was considerably more relaxed than it had been outside.
“Sect Master!”
“Sect Master, you’re back!”
The Elders, including Jin Peng, immediately noticed Du Busi and Long Aoyu’s group and greeted them one after another.
Chen Yuan was originally sitting to the side drinking tea.
When he saw Du Busi push open the door and enter, he immediately put down his teacup, stood up, and cupped his fists.
“Sect Master, the matter you entrusted to me has been handled.”
Du Busi walked directly to the main seat and sat down, then gestured for everyone else to take their seats as well.
“Tell me about the situation.”
Chen Yuan briefly reported everything that had happened at the main Wulan City Spirit Hall, including his meeting with Hall Master Li, the three bottles of Body Cleansing Pills he had left behind, and the invitation for Spirit Hall to send an important representative to discuss cooperation.
“Judging by Spirit Hall’s usual style of doing things, they should send someone in seven days.”
After listening to the entire report, Du Busi nodded.
“Well done.
You will go again in seven days.
If the person sent by Spirit Hall is not of sufficient status, then leave directly.
There is no need to waste too much time talking.”
“Old Jin, you go with Old Chen.”
Jin Peng immediately nodded.
“Alright.”
After finishing the arrangements concerning Spirit Hall, Du Busi’s expression finally relaxed somewhat.
He leaned back slightly, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
“Alright, Spirit Hall’s matters have been arranged.
Now it is time to distribute the Immortal Herbs.”
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the conference hall immediately became livelier.
The eyes of the Elders gathered around the table all became noticeably brighter, and even those who had tried to remain calm could not completely conceal the anticipation in their expressions.
Du Busi reached out, removed the Heaven-hiding Ring from his waist, and placed it on the table.
After infusing it with his spirit power, he began taking out jade boxes one after another, neatly arranging them on the table according to their categories and medicinal properties.
The first things he took out were those precious Immortal Herbs.
The Yearning Heartbroken Red, Looking Through Autumn Water Dew, Silk Tulip, Earth Dragon Golden Melon, Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower, Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone, and several other rare Immortal Herbs were each sealed inside special jade boxes and preserved extremely well.
Even though they had been uprooted from the medicinal garden, their medicinal properties had not suffered any obvious loss.
Du Busi’s gaze swept across the jade boxes arranged on the table before falling upon Jin Peng and the other Elders.
“Xiao Yu, Aotian, and Naer have already consumed Immortal Herbs.
Old Wei, Old Zhao, and I have also chosen our respective Immortal Herbs and are only waiting to return and refine them.”
“So, these remaining Immortal Herbs belong to all of you.
I will distribute them according to the compatibility between each herb and your respective Martial Souls.
As long as the compatibility is sufficient, I will not let any suitable Immortal Herb go to waste.”
“No objections from anyone, right?”
“No objections!”
The eight Elders, including Jin Peng, answered in unison, their voices filled with excitement.
“Mn.”
Du Busi nodded in satisfaction.
He turned toward Jin Peng, pondered for a moment, then picked up an entirely pitch-black bamboo from the table and handed it over.
“The Ink Jade Divine Bamboo can cleanse the tendons and bones while strengthening the physical foundation.
Its properties are particularly suitable for a torso-type Martial Soul.
This one is for you.”
“Thank you, Sect Master!”
Jin Peng accepted the jade box directly without being polite.
His face was filled with excitement as he carefully looked at the Ink Jade Divine Bamboo inside, clearly extremely satisfied with Du Busi’s arrangement.
Du Busi then looked at Chen Yuan and pushed the jade box containing the Looking Through Autumn Water Dew in front of him.
“Old Chen, your Brain Martial Soul has an extremely high demand for mental force.
Looking Through Autumn Water Dew can not only strengthen the eyes and improve perception, but it can also nourish the origin of the Martial Soul and provide considerable assistance to your mental force.
It is one of the most suitable Immortal Herbs for your cultivation.”
Chen Yuan immediately took the jade box and carefully stored it.
“Thank you, Sect Master.”
Du Busi then looked toward an Elder whose Body Martial Soul was his fists, the powerful Elder known as Demon Fist Douluo, and handed over the Earth Dragon Golden Melon.
“Old Zhou, this Earth Dragon Golden Melon can greatly strengthen physical strength and physical resistance, making it quite suitable for your fist-type Body Martial Soul.
Once you refine and absorb it, your physical strength should rise to another level, and your close-combat power will become even more formidable.”
Demon Fist Douluo Elder Zhou grinned broadly and accepted the jade box with both hands.
“Sect Master is righteous!”
Du Busi nodded and continued distributing the remaining Immortal Herbs.
Soon, the other five Elders each received an Immortal Herb that was highly compatible with their respective Martial Souls.
Although the effects of the herbs varied, every Immortal Herb was carefully selected according to the Elders’ individual cultivation paths, ensuring that the precious medicinal power would be utilized to its greatest possible extent.
Looking at the excited expressions of the Elders and the precious Immortal Herbs they had received, Long Aoyu stood quietly beside Du Busi, a faint smile appearing on his face.
The harvest from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well had finally begun to show its true value.
These Immortal Herbs would not only improve the cultivation of several senior Elders, but would also further strengthen the foundation of the Body Sect as a whole.
Once the Elders successfully refined the herbs and their strength increased, the overall combat power of the Body Sect would undoubtedly rise to another level.
