...
Xuan Hao didn't waste any words and waved his hand.
"Open your eyes wide and look carefully!
This is a priceless treasure that you may never see again in your lifetime!"
"Buzz—"
Five jade boxes appeared in mid-air instantly, lined up neatly in a row.
As the lids popped open one by one, a dazzling array of colors instantly illuminated the entire hall.
A rich, almost tangible medicinal fragrance filled the air, and even just a whiff of it made one feel refreshed and invigorated, and even quickened the flow of one's soul power.
Although Hu Liena and the other two didn't recognize the value of the item, they were still stunned by its imposing aura.
They stared wide-eyed, mouths agape, speechless.
"ah--!!!"
A sharp, almost piercing scream came from the side, startling everyone.
Just moments ago, Yue Guan had been calm and collected, watching the show with his arms crossed.
Now, he looked like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and his whole body tensed up.
His gaze was fixed on one of the jade boxes—where a large, blooming flower, as red as blood, lay quietly.
"This...this is..."
Yue Guan rushed forward in one stride, his speed so fast that he even left a trail of afterimages.
But he didn't try to snatch it. Instead, he stopped abruptly half a meter away from the jade box, as if it were some sacred and inviolable relic.
"Thump!"
This dignified Title Douluo actually knelt down on one knee in front of several juniors!
He reached out his hand, trembling, wanting to touch it but not daring to, his eyes filled with fervor, infatuation, and even a hint of piety:
"The King of Flowers... the Acacia mangium, a symbol of unrequited love!!"
"It really is it!! I can't believe I've actually seen it in my lifetime!!"
This scene completely stunned Hu Liena and the other two.
Is this... is this still the usually proud and effeminate Elder Ju?
Although Xuan Hao had anticipated that Yue Guan would react, he did not expect the old man to react so strongly.
He almost thought that Yue Guan was going to kowtow to him on the spot.
"Ahem, Elder Ju, calm down, calm down."
Xuan Hao patted Yue Guan on the shoulder, trying to calm him down.
"Although this thing is indeed very precious, you don't need to go to such lengths, do you?"
"Xiao...Xiao Hao!!"
Yue Guan suddenly turned her head, breathing rapidly, her eyes bloodshot as she gripped Xuan Hao's sleeve:
"Where...where did you find these things?!"
"One or two would be fine, but so many... so many top-grade immortal herbs appearing together, even the king of flowers..."
"Have you discovered the legendary treasure trove?! Have you?!"
"Well, we'll talk about that later."
Xuan Hao chuckled, "Please don't get excited yet.
First, explain the effects of these things to these country bumpkins who have never seen the world."
"Otherwise, they would think I just grabbed a few flowers and was trying to fool them."
"Okay! Okay! Let me introduce them!!"
Yue Guan forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart, reluctantly tearing his gaze away from the Acacia Heartbreak Red, and turned to look at Hu Liena and the other two, his tone filled with envy and jealousy:
"Listen up, you little brats!
This is a blessing you've earned over many lifetimes!!"
"This one is called the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum..."
Yue Guan knew each herb like the back of his hand, explaining in detail the name, effects, and even methods of consumption for each kind of herb.
With each new story told, Hu Liena and the other two's eyes brightened and their breathing became more rapid.
When Yue Guan's voice trembled again as he introduced the "Bewitching Lotus," a plant with two flowers on a single stem, a blend of ice and fire:
"This...this Bewitching Lotus..."
He looked at Xuan Hao in disbelief:
"Xiao Hao, if I remember correctly, ancient books clearly state that this thing requires the convergence of two extreme environments, extreme cold and extreme heat, and must be gestated for ten thousand years before it can be born."
"There is only one place in the world that meets these conditions..."
"The Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire!!"
"You...you really found it?!"
"Shh-"
Xuan Hao held up one finger. "I already said, we'll talk about it later."
He reached out and picked up the jade box containing the "Heartbreak Red" wine, sighing with some regret:
"I originally intended to give this king of flowers to Nana."
"But the teacher just said that compared to the Flower King, which has strict conditions for recognizing a master, the Bewitching Heart Lotus is more suitable for her Heavenly Fox Martial Soul."
"As for this..."
Xuan Hao toyed with the Acacia Heartbreak Red in his hand, then shrugged.
"My teacher told me to keep it for myself.
He said that when I meet my true love in the future, someone who can make me single-minded and devoted to me until death, I can give it to them as a token of our love."
Upon hearing this, the light in Yue Guan's eyes dimmed instantly.
Since it was His Holiness the Pope's decree and belonged to Xuan Hao, even if he wanted it, he would never dare to have the slightest improper thoughts.
To try and take something from Xuan Hao?
That's like taking something from Bibi Dong!
That's suicide! He hasn't lived enough yet!
"Alright, the allocation plan is as follows."
Xuan Hao stopped wasting words and directly pushed the jade box containing the "Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum" in front of Xie Yue:
"Xie Yue, this is for you."
"Originally, I was thinking of giving it to Elder Ju, since it is his natal herb.
But Elder Ju himself said before that he is old and his foundation is already established, so giving it to him would only be adding to his glory and wasting its medicinal power."
"So, you got off easy."
Upon hearing this, Yue Guan almost burst into tears on the spot.
That was said before! Back then, how could he have known that Xuan Hao could actually get his hands on something like that?!
Even if he gets old, if he can eat this immortal herb, he is absolutely confident that he can break through the bottleneck of level 95, and even reach level 97!
My chrysanthemum!
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Although Xie Yue was unaware of Yue Guan's inner turmoil, he could sense the preciousness of the item and excitedly accepted the jade box with trembling hands.
"This Phoenix Cockscomb Sunflower is for you."
Xuanhao then tossed the fiery red herb to Yan, saying, "You're the only red-haired monster here who plays with fire.
This thing can help you purify your flames and dispel evil fire."
"Thank... thank you, Brother Hao!"
Yan caught the jade box, his expression somewhat strange, but mostly one of surprise and delight.
So what if he's a red-haired monster?
As long as there are benefits to be had!
"Finally, these two things..."
Xuan Hao shoved both "Longing for Autumn Dew" and "Bewitching Lotus" into Hu Liena's arms, who was already stunned.
"Senior sister, this is yours."
"The teacher said that this demonic lotus can help you undergo a complete transformation, allowing you to reach the pinnacle of the mind control system."
"Don't let the teacher down, and don't let me down either."
Holding the two heavy jade boxes, Hu Liena looked at the smiling young man in front of her, and her eyes instantly reddened.
She opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but found that all her words were stuck in her throat.
"Alright, stop being so emotional."
Xuan Hao didn't give them a chance to get sentimental, turning to look at Yue Guan, who looked utterly dejected:
"Elder Ju, although I gave them the items, I don't quite know how to take them to maximize their medicinal effects."
"This kind of technical work will have to trouble you, sir."
"You surely understand, right?"
Yue Guan took a deep breath and forced out a smile that looked worse than a grimace:
"I understand...of course I understand."
"Don't worry, I will personally guide them on how to take it, and I will also use other supplementary medications to ensure that not a single drop of the medicine is wasted!"
At this point, Yue Guan looked at Xie Yue, who was happily hugging the Qi Rong Tong Tian Ju, and suddenly had an idea.
Since I can't get the immortal herb, I'll take on an apprentice instead.
This kid ate the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum, which means he has developed an indestructible body, plus that amazing moon blade skill...
"Evil Moon."
Yue Guan suddenly spoke, his tone becoming exceptionally solemn.
"Huh? Elder Ju?" Xie Yue was taken aback.
"Since you obtained this rare and precious Chrysanthemum, it means that we are destined to meet."
Yue Guan stood with his hands behind his back, striking a pose of superiority:
"From today onwards, you will be my personal disciple."
"Perfect timing. My martial soul is also a chrysanthemum.
Although your weapon martial soul is the Moon Blade, no one is more suitable than me to teach you how to cultivate the Vajra Indestructible Body and comprehend this immortal herb."
"ah?!"
Xie Yue was completely dumbfounded.
A personal disciple?!
You must know, this is a Title Douluo!
Although he was known as part of the Golden Generation at the academy, he was still just a student.
Being able to become a disciple of a Title Douluo is something that countless Soul Masters wouldn't even dare to dream of!
"What? You're not willing?" Yue Guan raised an eyebrow.
"Yes! Of course I'm willing!"
"Disciple Xie Yue greets Master!!"
