"Dad, where's Mom? Was Mom stolen?!"
Under a certain valley waterfall, Tang San, who had escaped from Slaughter City and returned here to train his Great Sumeru Hammer intent, entered the dark water cave to feel his mother's aura, only to find that the Golden Pattern Blue Silver Emperor inside the cave was gone.
Upon discovering this, Tang San quickly found his father, Tang Hao, to ask for the reason.
Tang Hao feigned deep thought, his back appearing grand:
"Little San, practice your hammer well. When your hammer technique reaches Major Achievement and you become a true powerhouse, perhaps your mother will be able to manifest a physical form to meet you."
"Really? Dad, Mom hasn't recovered after growing for so many years in this dim water cave. Have you found another way?"
Tang San looked at his father's back, a hint of surprise in his eyes, but soon, the doubt in his eyes turned into joy:
"Is it the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well? Although Peach Garden Academy almost emptied the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, and even the power of the ice and fire springs was absorbed, requiring a long time to recover, that place is a treasure trove no matter what. It's much better than this water cave. I was truly foolish not to have thought of this."
Initially, after Su Ran left with his Disciples after Cultivating in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Tang San followed Tang Hao to Cultivate and went there once more, hoping to try his luck to see if he could find any overlooked immortal-grade flowers and plants, or use the power of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to temper his Physique, but it was regrettable.
Tang San soaked in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well for several days and nights. Although his Physique improved somewhat, it was very limited and simply couldn't achieve the effect of [Refining the Golden Body, Strengthening the Physique].
Tang Hao heard this and still shook his head mysteriously:
"Although the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well is a good place, its source is almost exhausted. I found an even better treasure land, a hundred times better than the current Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, and it has specialized care. According to my estimation, Ah Yin will reappear in the human world in less than twenty, or even ten years."
Tang Hao's words sparked a ray of hope in Tang San's heart. Xiao Wu had left him, and Peach Garden Academy refused to accept him. He desperately needed to prove himself and also needed emotional nurturing.
This gave him another belief to live on and strive to become stronger.
Tang Hao had thought carefully about planting Ah Yin in Peach Garden Academy. The Peach Garden flower and plant garden contained countless precious flowers and plants, and they probably wouldn't notice a tiny Blue Silver Grass.
Even if Peach Garden Academy noticed the Blue Silver Grass, since Blue Silver Grass had almost no medicinal value to Spirit Masters, at most it would be hoed away as a weed and thrown into waste land. However, the Blue Silver Emperor possessed extremely strong vitality and would not die because of this. He could retrieve her at any time.
"Ah Yin, grow diligently. Wait for me to retrieve you. Our son is also waiting for you to return."
Tang Hao looked in the direction of Peach Garden Academy, his face quite confident.
This strategy was definitely the greatest maneuver in a hundred years.
He was very much looking forward to seeing the expressions of Su Ran and his students when Ah Yin entered her mature, solidified form and he went to pick her up.
It would definitely be very unpleasant, wouldn't it?
Oh ho ho~
"Oh, right, I also have two rather good quality flowers and plants here. Take them and absorb them. They should slightly improve your Physique."
At this moment, Tang Hao also took out two rather extraordinary exotic flowers and placed them in Tang San's hands.
It was just that Tang Hao's preservation method was too crude, causing some damage to these two sub-immortal grade flowers, and much of their effect was lost, but they still made Tang San's eyes light up:
"Nine-Grade Black Sesame!"
"Purple Cloud Elixir Grass!"
"Both are the best of the best!"
"Too bad, they're a bit damaged."
"Dad, you're amazing! You can even find such top-grade flowers and plants!"
...
"You may all disperse now."
"Over the past two years, your new students have almost finished tempering your Physiques with medicinal baths in the academy. Some of the academy's flowers and plants have also entered their mature phase. Teacher has selected some flowers and plants for you. You can take them back to accompany you, which will be of great benefit to your Cultivation. If you feel the time is right, you can also choose to absorb them."
"Bing'er, Yue'er, Xue Wu, Qiu Ruoshui... these are for you: Immortal Grade Frost Bloom Jade Hairpin Flower, Immortal Grade Tidal Dragon Orchid, Immortal Grade Snow Thread Qiong Flower..."
At Peach Garden Academy, more than ten students heard the commotion and gathered around, not quite understanding what Teacher was going to do with Supreme Pontiff Bibi Dong.
Ning Rongrong, Dugu Yan, Wang Sheng, Shui Bing'er, and other students also had a poor impression of Bibi Dong. Although the Soul Master Competition was over and they weren't people who held grudges, this cunning and vicious woman made them extremely wary.
Su Ran took out several immortal-grade flowers and distributed them to Shui Bing'er and her sisters. When those immortal-grade flowers and plants appeared, the air seemed to solidify, and the shimmering radiance was incredibly beautiful:
Immortal Grade Frost Bloom Jade Hairpin Flower: Its entire body is extremely pure, without a trace of Impurities. Nine frost leaves bloom, and the central stamen shines like a dazzling ice jade hairpin.
Tidal Dragon Orchid: An immortal-grade plant that sublimates by absorbing moonlight and tidal gravity. Its petals unfurl with the rising and setting of the moon, emitting a fresh, slightly salty scent like seawater.
Snow Thread Qiong Flower: A qiong flower whose petals resemble snow chiffon and qiong silk. Its fallen petals seem to transform into snow dew.
These immortal-grade plants were not easily obtained. Su Ran had cultivated them over the years with top-grade fertilizers and spiritual water acquired from accepting and teaching Disciples, and only recently did some of them mature.
He selected some that were suitable for these Disciples' Physiques, allowing them to absorb and transform their bodies at the appropriate stage, maximizing the efficacy of the flowers and plants.
Shui Bing'er's three sisters were quite lucky, as suitable immortal-grade flowers and plants happened to mature for them. Mu Yunzhu, Mu Yunteng, Yao Zi, Gu Qingbo, and others were less fortunate. Teacher Su Ran distributed more suitable sub-immortal grade plants for them to accompany them, and even Xiao Chenyu received a share.
After distributing the flowers and plants, Su Ran waved his hand and dismissed the observing Disciples:
"For the time being, you should all summarize your Cultivation achievements from the past two years. Once I come out, I will conduct the Core Disciple assessment for you, understand?
Also, no one is allowed to approach Taoyou Pavilion. Remember, no one. If any Disciple disobeys, they will be expelled from the academy."
"Xiao Wu, you will guard the front of the pavilion. As long as I don't come out, you cannot leave for a moment, understand?"
Taoyou Pavilion was a pavilion behind the school building, usually Su Ran's place for rest, grading assignments, and Cultivation.
After giving all instructions, Su Ran took Xiao Wu and walked towards Taoyou Pavilion, bringing the pre-prepared flowers, medicinal herbs, and tools.
Su Ran's strict order, even to the point of expulsion, left no Disciple joking around; they all developed a sense of awe.
One must know that Teacher had always been gentle. For something to cause Teacher to expel someone, it must be extremely important.
They just didn't know what kind of magic this Bibi Dong possessed that made Teacher want to enter the pavilion with her alone.
Could it be that they were going to make babies?
Qian Renxue had a bad premonition. What exactly was this woman trying to do? How did she manage to lure my Teacher away for private time?
Ning Rongrong was also deeply worried. She just knew it; she had predicted it long ago. This Supreme Pontiff posed a great sense of crisis!
Dugu Yan frowned deeply, letting out a soft sigh. Suddenly, a pair of large hands patted her shoulders from behind. Dugu Bo also sighed, speaking earnestly:
"Alas, Yaner, being devoted to Cultivation is a good thing, but a lifelong matter is even more important."
"Look, that hateful Supreme Pontiff has already taken Teacher Su to do something secretive. You need to work harder."
"Our Dugu Family has a single Bloodline, and now there's only you, this girl. The heavy responsibility of bringing glory to our ancestors and continuing the Bloodline can only fall on you, girl. Teacher Su is the only man Grandpa recognizes. You understand Grandpa's meaning, right?"
"Oh, Grandpa~"
Dugu Yan's face flushed slightly, and she mumbled:
"Honestly, Grandpa, you're really shameless in your old age. Didn't you used to not support me dating? Besides, Grandpa, do you think I don't want to? But where's the opportunity..."
"Cough cough, not supporting, that was with those inexperienced boys outside, a bunch of unreliable ones. Of course, Grandpa didn't like them. But Teacher Su, he's different!"
"No opportunity? Then create one! It's just that little thing between men and women. So-called coincidences and timings are all carefully manufactured. Back then, your grandma and I, weren't we also... cough cough!"
