Chapter 108: Picking the Eight-Petaled Immortal Orchid, Dugu Yan's Thoughts
Hearing Yue Guan's explanation of the Eight-Petaled Immortal Orchid, Dugu Bo instantly realized the value of this immortal herb! He even regretted not discovering it earlier.
"Hmph! Old poison, do you think I didn't want to pick it just now?"
"The Eight-Petaled Immortal Orchid is an immortal herb, how could it be easily picked using ordinary methods?"
"Each immortal herb has its unique method of picking. A slight mistake during the process, and a precious immortal herb could be destroyed."
Yue Guan's gaze towards the Eight-Petaled Immortal Orchid was filled with excitement and dilemma.
Such a treasure, visible to the eye but unattainable, was truly frustrating!
Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan's faces, initially excited, darkened upon hearing this.
If even Chrysanthemum Douluo didn't have the confidence to pick this herb, then who could?
"Yan Yan, I'm sorry."
Dugu Bo looked at his granddaughter, shaking his head with a tone full of guilt.
The solution to save his granddaughter was right before him, yet he was powerless.
For someone like Dugu Bo, a Title Douluo and one of the top powerhouses of the continent, this was a huge blow!
"Grandpa…"
Dugu Yan also felt a tinge of guilt.
When she learned that her grandfather had reluctantly joined the Martial Soul Hall and allied with Su Yun to seek a cure for her, she felt troubled.
Everyone knew that Poison Douluo loved his freedom and didn't like to be bound by others.
His rejection of even the Tiandou Royal family's invitation and now joining the Martial Soul Hall for her sake made Dugu Yan clench her fists in guilt.
Just as everyone felt helpless looking at the Eight-Petaled Immortal Orchid, a voice suddenly came from behind.
"Let me try."
Dugu Bo and Chrysanthemum Douluo turned sharply, as did everyone else, to look behind them.
The speaker was none other than Su Yun!
"Su Yun, do you have a way?!"
Dugu Bo's eyes showed a trace of surprise.
"Su boy, this is an immortal grade herb, not something to play with."
"Growing an immortal grade herb can take even longer than training a Title Douluo."
"You mustn't speak recklessly."
Chrysanthemum Douluo also cautioned with a slightly heavy tone.
"Let me tell you, if I can get this Eight-Petaled Immortal Orchid, my chances of breaking through to level 96 in soul power can increase by at least 10%!"
Faced with such a precious herb, Yue Guan was not willing to let anyone risk damaging it.
A gasp went through the crowd.
Yue Guan's statement even moved Ghost Douluo Gui Mei!
He and Yue Guan had been stuck at level 95 in soul power for many years, struggling to reach level 96, but to no avail.
For a Title Douluo after level 95, each increase in soul power level is extremely difficult, requiring either a stroke of luck or enlightenment.
And now, Yue Guan claimed that this small immortal herb could increase his chances by 10%!
That was truly astonishing!
"Little junior brother, are you sure you can do it?"
Hu Liena also looked towards Su Yun.
At this moment, she too could feel Chrysanthemum Douluo's deep regard for the Eight-Petaled Immortal Orchid.
Zhu Zhuqing also looked towards Su Yun, her eyes full of nervousness.
Facing Chrysanthemum Douluo's skepticism, Su Yun summoned his Blue Silver Emperor with his left hand and lightly chuckled:
"If I can't do it, I'll apologize to you."
Saying this, Su Yun walked past everyone, heading straight for the Eight-Petaled Immortal Orchid.
"Sister Yin, it's up to you now."
"Don't worry, Little Su Yun."
As a soul beast who had lived for over a hundred thousand years, Ah Yin had more experience than Su Yun had ever walked.
Throughout the centuries, she had witnessed the growth and decline of countless herbs.
Being a natural emperor among plant soul beasts, even the immortal herbs could only obey her.
Indeed, when Su Yun approached the Eight-Petaled Immortal Orchid with the Blue Silver Emperor, the orchid seemed to shrink back in fear, its pistil trembling.
Under Ah Yin's guidance, Su Yun easily picked it.
He then took out a jade box from his soul guide on his left wrist and placed the orchid inside.
Seeing this scene, everyone behind Su Yun was dumbfounded.
They all looked at Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan.
Didn't you say it was very difficult to pick?
Then how did Su Yun manage to pick it so easily?
Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan's face also showed a perplexed expression.
'How did this kid do it?'
'Is it because of his martial soul?'
Before Yue Guan could ponder for long, Su Yun had already handed the jade box containing the Eight-Petaled Immortal Orchid to Dugu Bo.
"Elder Dugu, my suggestion is for you to use this herb yourself, not for Dugu Yan."
Seeing Dugu Bo's eagerness to cure Dugu Yan, Su Yun reminded him:
"With me here, you don't have to worry about the toxins in Dugu Yan."
"Your priority now is to nurture your body, rely on this immortal herb to push your soul power into your soul bone, and try to break through to level 92."
"Only when you become stronger can Dugu Yan be safer in the future."
"What do you think?"
Dugu Bo was about to act but was stopped by Su Yun's words.
Hearing Su Yun, he immediately calmed down and nodded:
"Su young friend, you are more considerate."
"Thank you very much."
At this moment, Dugu Bo's address for Su Yun had changed from 'you' to 'you', showing his respect for Su Yun.
Dugu Yan, watching Su Yun, felt her initial aversion to the Martial Soul Hall fading away because of Su Yun's actions.
Dugu Bo had always been concerned about Dugu Yan's safety, and wasn't Dugu Yan concerned about him too?
Seeing Su Yun handing the Eight-Petaled Immortal Orchid not to Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan but to her grandfather, Dugu Yan's heart was a mix of emotions.
She remembered her grandfather mentioning how the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, upon learning of her constitution, refused to sell a soul bone needed to save her life.
They even forcibly broke off her marriage with Yu Tianheng, citing her inability to have children.
Comparing the two, she suddenly felt that the Martial Soul Hall, often maligned, was more admirable than the highly praised top three sects.
Zhu Zhuqing and Hu Liena, seeing Su Yun actually pick the Eight-Petaled Immortal Orchid, were shocked, covering their slightly open mouths.
However, seeing Su Yun hand the orchid directly to Dugu Bo, Hu Liena's expression changed.
She noticed that Chrysanthemum Grandpa behind Su Yun suddenly looked very grim!
