Chapter 110: Triggering the Mission Again
Seeing Su Yun return empty-handed, Chrysanthemum Douluo's face already displayed a prepared mocking smile, directed at Dugu Bo.
"How about it? Did I not tell you?"
"Immortal herbs are not so easily found."
"I..."
Just as Yue Guan was about to continue mocking, he saw Su Yun take out a herb from his soul guide device and hand it to Zhu Zhuqing.
"Zhuqing, this is for you."
"Su Yun brother, what is this?"
Taking the herb from Su Yun, Zhu Zhuqing looked at it โ a pristine white and luminous flower, reminiscent of the Eight-Petaled Immortal Orchid she had seen earlier, seemingly on par with it.
Could this also be...
"Shuixian Jade Skin Bone!"
Before Su Yun could speak, a shriek suddenly came from Yue Guan's mouth!
"It's really Shuixian Jade Skin Bone?!"
Yue Guan hurried over to Zhu Zhuqing, his eyes burning with intensity as he gazed at the Shuixian Jade Skin Bone in her hand.
Suddenly, Yue Guan felt the Eight-Petaled Immortal Orchid in his hand lose its allure.
"Grandpa Chrysanthemum, is this Shuixian Jade Skin Bone in Zhuqing's hand also an immortal herb?" Hu Liena asked, seeing Yue Guan's eager gaze.
"Yes!" Yue Guan nodded. "Legend says Shuixian Jade Skin Bone nourishes the tendons and bones, and opens all meridians."
"When consumed, use soul power to activate it. Eat the petals first, then suck on the pistil to absorb its effect."
"Most importantly, it's not restricted by soul power levels."
Not restricted by soul power levels! Zhu Zhuqing immediately realized the value of the Shuixian Jade Skin Bone in her hand.
She excitedly hugged Su Yun and kissed him on the cheek.
"Thank you, Su Yun brother."
"There's no need for thanks between us," Su Yun said.
Turning to Hu Liena, he took out another immortal herb from his soul guide device.
"Na Na sister, this flower is originally known as 'Charm.' Now that it has reached immortal grade, it's called 'Celestial Charm,' most suitable for your constitution and martial soul."
"Using it will significantly aid your soul power cultivation and the cultivation of your charm skills."
"Now, you can join Zhuqing in absorbing the effects of these immortal herbs."
Hu Liena, while listening, felt her spirit drawn to the purple, enchanting flower in her hand, awakening to its significance.
"Little junior brother, thank you. All these years of caring for you were worth it."
After the shock, Hu Liena happily accepted the immortal herb.
However, she didn't rush off with Zhu Qing to absorb its power. Instead, she looked teasingly at Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan, who had boasted earlier.
At that moment, Yue Guan also noticed that everyone's gaze had fallen on him, feeling a bit embarrassed.
Before he could speak, Su Yun continued.
"Ghost grandpa, this 'Invisible Chimei Flower' is for you..."
"Elder Dugu, this 'Nine-Colored Serpent Grass' is for you..."
Under Yue Guan's stunned gaze, Su Yun swiftly produced two more immortal herbs.
Ghost Mei and Dugu Bo, looking at the immortal herbs in their hands, listened to Su Yun's explanation and felt their extraordinary medicinal power.
"Hehe, Old Chrysanthemum, didn't you say you'd kill yourself with a block of frozen tofu?"
"Do you want me to go buy one for you from a restaurant right now?"
Chapter 110: The Mission Triggered Again
Holding the immortal herb in his hand, Dugu Bo looked smugly at Yue Guan, taunting him. The Nine-Colored Serpent Grass he now had, according to Su Yun, could not only enhance his martial soul quality but also help him quickly mobilize the toxins in his body. It was even more suitable for him than the Eight-Petaled Immortal Orchid!
Yue Guan, seeing everyone except Dugu Yan receive an immortal herb, was so shocked that he was speechless. Especially seeing Dugu Bo's mocking look, he felt an urge to fight!
Ignoring Dugu Bo, Yue Guan turned to his old friend, only to find Ghost Mei fixated on the Invisible Chimei Flower in his hand, seemingly resonating with his own martial soul, making him breathe heavily. Could it be that his soul power might also break through to level 96?
While Yue Guan was observing Ghost Mei, Su Yun's voice rang out again: "I actually found a special immortal herb for you, Grandpa Chrysanthemum, but it seems you don't need it now."
For me? Yue Guan's interest was piqued. Could it be better than the Eight-Petaled Immortal Orchid? The Eight-Petaled Immortal Orchid was indeed an immortal herb, but more suitable for soul masters with lower soul power levels. For him, it was helpful, but not significantly so. If Su Yun really found another herb more suitable for him, then the Eight-Petaled Immortal Orchid was no longer the right choice for him.
Yue Guan looked at Su Yun, expecting him to produce another extraordinary herb. Instead, he found Su Yun just watching him, seemingly without any embarrassment.
"Cursed kid, using this opportunity to embarrass me," Yue Guan thought.
Hu Liena, sensing the awkward atmosphere and seeing Yue Guan's proud demeanor, walked over to Su Yun and softly said, "Alright, Su Yun brother, Grandpa Chrysanthemum knows he was wrong. Let bygones be bygones."
Hearing his beloved Na Na say 'let bygones be bygones,' Yue Guan was almost infuriated.
"Na Na, how could you belittle me like this? I always loved you the most."
Su Yun chuckled at Hu Liena's words: "Don't worry, sister Na Na, I'm not petty."
With that, Su Yun took out another immortal herb from his soul guide device. Yue Guan's eyes nearly popped out of his head at the sight of it. He stared, breath heavy and loud, at the large, magnificent purple chrysanthemum in Su Yun's hand. The whole flower was uniform, without any scent escaping, and the pistil rose half a foot above the petals, gleaming with a faint golden light.
"This flower looks a bit like Grandpa Chrysanthemum's martial soul," Hu Liena remarked, drawing the attention of Dugu Bo and Ghost Mei.
They shifted their focus from their own immortal herbs to the one in Su Yun's hand, surprised to find similarities between it and Yue Guan's martial soul.
"Su Yun brother, what is this immortal herb?" Zhu Zhuqing asked.
Su Yun smiled: "This is the Qi Rong Tong Tian Chrysanthemum, an immortal-grade herb that energizes the limbs and clears all meridians. It's perfectly compatible with Grandpa Chrysanthemum's martial soul, enhancing both his soul power cultivation and martial soul quality."
"Unfortunately, since Grandpa Chrysanthemum prefers the Eight-Petaled Immortal Orchid, I'll have to use this herb myself," Su Yun said, feigning regret.
Just as he finished speaking, Yue Guan roared, "Who said that?!"
"Who said I prefer the Eight-Petaled Immortal Orchid? I don't want that doggone herb!"
Throwing the jade box containing the Eight-Petaled Immortal Orchid at Su Yun, Yue Guan immediately expressed his preference for the Qi Rong Tong Tian Chrysanthemum.
Eight-Petaled Immortal Orchid: ???
"Cough cough, Su Xiaozi, I was wrong just now."
"I should not have distrusted you."
"Now, I am willing to trust you."
"You indeed live up to being the genius of our Martial Spirit Hall."
"..."
Chrysanthemum Douluo praised Su Yun, while eyeing the miraculous Chrysanthemum in Su Yun's hand, eagerly wanting to consume it immediately! This was an herb even more precious than those possessed by Old Poison and Old Ghost.
Their herbs replenished based on shape, but this Chrysanthemum was exactly like his own Martial Spirit.
Yu Guan believed that if he could absorb this Chrysanthemum, his chances of breaking through to ninety-six soul power would at least increase to seventy percent! The remaining thirty percent would depend on his own comprehension.
Hearing Yu Guan suddenly change his tone and praise Su Yun, Dugu Bo looked at him with disdain.
This old fellow was arrogant just a moment ago, but now, seeing what he desired, he's even more obsequious than himself.
Feeling Yu Guan's drool almost spilling, Su Yun just smiled faintly and tossed the Chrysanthemum to Yu Guan.
Yu Guan caught it quickly, incessantly saying: "I always said having you in our Martial Spirit Hall is our fortune."
"Let's go, Old Ghost, let's find a place to research this..."
Saying so, Yu Guan, pulling the ghostly figure, hastily disappeared from Su Yun and the others' sight.
Seeing her Grandfather Chrysanthemum's 'fleeing' manner, Hu Liena smiled slyly.
Having known Yu Guan for many years, she immediately recognized the awkwardness in her Grandfather Chrysanthemum's heart.
After Dugu Bo and Ghost Douluo left, Dugu Bo approached Su Yun.
"Su Yun, I have an audacious request."
Su Yun glanced at Dugu Bo, immediately understanding his thoughts.
He smiled lightly: "Elder Dugu, no need for more words, I understand your thoughts."
Finishing speaking, Su Yun handed the jade box containing the Eight-Petaled Immortal Orchid to Dugu Yan.
Dugu Yan was shocked and honored upon seeing this.
Unmerited gifts should not be accepted.
She immediately waved her hands in refusal: "Su Yun, I'm not qualified for this."
However, facing Dugu Yan's refusal, Su Yun placed the jade box in her hands, explaining:
"Since I promised Elder Dugu to treat you, now that I have a ready solution, why wouldn't I use it?"
Su Yun continued, looking towards Dugu Bo: "Besides, compared to a real Titled Douluo, the value of an herb is insignificant."
Su Yun's words were true.
An Eight-Petaled Immortal Orchid, capable of making Dugu Bo and his granddaughter follow him loyally, was naturally worthwhile.
Hu Liena admired her junior's ability to win hearts, watching how Su Yun did so.
Zhu Zhuqing looked at Su Yun with admiration in her eyes.
Dugu Bo also persuaded: "Yan Yan, since Su Yun said so, just accept it."
Dugu Yan looked at her grandfather, then at Su Yun.
Finally, she expressed her gratitude and accepted the jade box.
Seeing his granddaughter accept the herb, Dugu Bo looked at Su Yun, saying: "I've never thanked anyone in my life."
"Today, I really want to thank you sincerely."
Your words sound like they come from someone rolling their eyes... oh... you're not surnamed Xie.
"Su Yun, I don't have anything valuable."
"My granddaughter can't compare to the two girls by your side, so I won't embarrass myself by offering her."
Dugu Yan's face stiffened at these words.
Is this really my grandfather?
Su Yun just chuckled.
"This medicine garden, I'll give it to you, from now on it's your territory."
Dugu Bo announced grandly.
Dugu Yan was startled to hear her grandfather intended to give the medicine garden, which she had tended for decades with much effort, to Su Yun.
But thinking of Su Yun's promise and the two Immortal Herbs, she understood her grandfather's intentions.
"Alright, since Elder Dugu has spoken, I will humbly accept."
Su Yun did not refuse, accepting it as rightful.
Compared to life, this medicine garden was insignificant to Dugu Bo.
Moreover, it could bring him closer to Su Yun.
"Just now is a good time, Elder Dugu, take Yan Yan and my sisters to absorb these Immortal Herbs."
Hu Liena and Zhu Zhuqing then joined Su Yun.
"But junior brother, you gave each of us an Immortal Herb, what about yourself?"
Hu Liena's question was also on everyone's mind.
Su Yun shook the soul guidance device
on his wrist, explaining with a smile:
"No worries, I picked quite a few while there was time."
Knowing Su Yun also had Immortal Herbs, Hu Liena and Zhu Zhuqing were relieved.
Then, under Dugu Bo's lead, the four of them went to absorb the Immortal Herbs.
Su Yun, after parting with everyone, headed straight for the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.
Meanwhile, a barely contained joy surfaced in his eyes.
In the past ten minutes, not only did he gather many top-grade Immortal Herbs once obtained by Tang San in the medicine garden, but also, after picking the Blazing Apricot and Octagonal Xuanbing Grass, he triggered a system task.
The task was straightforward: Enter the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, successfully absorb the Blazing Apricot and Octagonal Xuanbing Grass.
The reward excited Su Yun and Ah Yin.
Task completion reward: Blue Silver Emperor seed.
