Chapter 216: The Secret of the blood ginseng
The words " Immortal Herb " mentioned by Yue Guan fiercely piqued Bibi Dong's curiosity.
As the Pope of the Spirit Hall and the most powerful woman on the Continent, what kind of top-tier Spiritual Plant, marvelous medicine, or Heaven And Earth Treasure had she not seen?
Yet, this so-called Immortal Herb was something she had truly never heard of.
"Yue Guan, what is an Immortal Herb?"
Bibi Dong leaned lazily on the Pope's throne, her peripheral vision catching sight of Yu Xiaogang, who was already craning his neck in anticipation. "You shall explain clearly to This Master, and to Elder Yu beside me."
Hearing Bibi Dong's instruction, Yue Guan's expression instantly became unprecedentedly fervent and pious.
As a Titled Douluo extremely obsessed with flora, this was the field he was most proud of.
"Reporting to Your Holiness, the Pope! This so-called Immortal Herb is a peerless supreme treasure that seizes the creation of heaven and earth and absorbs the essence of the sun and moon to grow! It can be said that every single stalk possesses the supreme marvelous use of Heaven-Defying fate alteration!"
Yue Guan was so excited his voice trembled as he gestured wildly.
"Without exaggeration, even a top-grade good-for-nothing whose Innate Soul Power is only level one, just by consuming the Immortal Herb that matches him, can instantly undergo a complete transformation! Not only will his Cultivate talent become comparable to that of a truly peerless Genius, but even their inferior Martial Soul may very likely undergo a qualitative evolution!"
Hearing the words "top-grade good-for-nothing whose Innate Soul Power is only level one," the eyes of Grandmaster Yu, sitting on the high-backed chair, twitched violently, and his stiff old face instantly turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
If Innate Soul Power level one counted as top-grade good-for-nothing, then what was he, the Continents Number One Theory Master whose Innate Soul Power was only half a level?
Worse than good-for-nothing, a maggot? This damned Yue Guan was clearly using Powder Shooting Shadow to insult him!
Despite being so angry his blood nearly boiled, the words "Heaven-Defying fate alteration" and "Martial Soul evolution" from Yue Guan's mouth gripped Yu Xiaogang's heart like a curse.
He forcibly suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart and interrupted impatiently: "Yue Guan, according to you, those people from the Tang Sect have mastered a supreme treasure land overgrown with Immortal Herbs, which is why everyone in their team has become a hidden Genius?"
When he asked this question, Yu Xiaogang could clearly feel his heart beating wildly.
If all of this was true, then no matter what, he had to make Bibi Dong dispatch troops to seize this treasure land that seized the creation of heaven and earth from the Tang Sect!
As long as he possessed the Immortal Herb, he, Yu Xiaogang, could completely wash away the shame of being good-for-nothing!
"That is correct, Elder Yu."
Yue Guan gritted his teeth and nodded.
Just now, that damned good-for-nothing buzz cut dared to call him, a Super Douluo, by his name; this was simply a complete disregard for hierarchy!
If the Pope were not here presiding, he would have slapped this pretentious buzz cut to death.
Receiving confirmation from Yue Guan, Grandmaster Yu's face instantly switched to an expression of righteous indignation and concern for the nation and its people.
He suddenly stood up, cupped his hands in a salute toward Bibi Dong on the high platform, and adopted a compassionate posture: "Dong'er... cough, Your Holiness, the Pope!"
"As everyone knows, that Tang Sect acts ruthlessly, and that child Jiang Li is extremely vengeful. They are an unequivocally evil Sect! Such a supreme treasure land capable of Heaven-Defying fate alteration absolutely cannot remain in the hands of such an evil force!"
Yu Xiaogang spoke righteously and loudly, "This Master proposes that the Spirit Hall should immediately dispatch troops to confiscate it! Only by holding this treasure land in the hands of the Spirit Hall, for This Master to uniformly distribute and research, can it better benefit the Soul Masters across the entire Continent!"
According to Yu Xiaogang's past experience, as long as he proposed such a 'righteous' request, Bibi Dong, no matter how difficult it was, would inevitably satisfy him without a second thought.
However, this time, perhaps because her 'cheap' daughter Qian Renxue had given stern warnings before, or perhaps because the failure of this ambush made her truly see the unfathomable foundation of the Tang Sect, Bibi Dong unexpectedly refused, going against her usual behavior.
"Elder Yu, this matter cannot be rushed."
Bibi Dong frowned slightly. "The number of Titled Douluo in the Tang Sect is unknown, and This Seat also does not know the specific combat strength of that Jiang Li. If we rashly engage in a full-scale war with them for the sake of a treasure land whose background we have not yet clarified, I fear the Spirit Hall would suffer a loss that outweighs the gain."
Being flatly rejected by Bibi Dong in public, Grandmaster Yu's old face was utterly disgraced; it cycled through shades of green and white, looking extremely unsightly.
But he would absolutely not give up on his ultimate dream of possessing that treasure land!
Just as he was frantically calculating how to trick Bibi Dong into sending troops, an extremely bizarre incident that had occurred during their soul hunting in the Sunset Forest, and which still made him so angry he wanted to vomit blood whenever he thought of it, suddenly flashed through his mind.
Back then, their Shrek group had accidentally discovered several ginseng-shaped plants in the Sunset Forest, which were entirely fiery red, resembling raging flames.
According to his knowledge from ancient texts, this item should be a top-grade Ginseng King capable of solidifying the foundation and cultivating vitality.
After the three juniors, Dai Mubai, Yu Tianheng, and Ma Hongjun, shared and consumed those plants, their Soul Power all received a great boost, and even their Cultivate speed seemed to have improved quite a bit.
Seeing them gain such immense benefits, Yu Xiaogang, who had been stuck at level twenty-nine for most of his life, was naturally extremely envious at the time.
He originally thought this was a peerless marvelous medicine bestowed by heaven to help him break through his shackles and regain new life, so he excitedly swallowed the remaining one whole, which was the best in terms of age and quality.
The result... that was the decision he regretted most in his life!
After eating that red ginseng, not only did he fail to break through to level thirty as he wished, but his already good-for-nothing mutated Martial Soul, Luo Sanpao, actually underwent an extremely rare and utterly absurd secondary regression!
Not only that, but the Martial Soul Fusion Skill he could have used with Liu Erlong and Flender also vanished without a trace due to this regression.
Along with it, the Soul Power he had painstakingly Cultivated for most of his life plummeted like a deflated rubber ball, dropping all the way to a miserable level twenty-one!
Recalling that painful experience, Grandmaster Yu's heart was bleeding!
He urgently wanted to figure out what kind of monstrous thing he had consumed back then!
Why did it become a peerless Immortal Herb for others, but turn into a corrosive poison for him?!
Furthermore, during this period, he could clearly feel that his ability to take off was becoming increasingly strained!
Grandmaster Yu took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the eagerness in his eyes.
He skillfully placed his hands behind his back, slightly tilted his chin up, pointed his nostrils toward the sky, and once again adopted that air of an inscrutable academic titan.
He looked down at Yue Guan below and spoke slowly and deliberately:
"Yue Guan, since you know so much about the rare treasures and exotic herbs of the world..."
"Do you recognize a certain... special plant that is entirely fiery crimson in color and shaped like a ginseng?"
