Chapter 26: Distribution of the Immortal Herbs
"I didn't expect Sister Dong'er to subdue Ju Douluo and Ghost Douluo so quickly!"
Standing beside Bibi Dong, Su Mo couldn't help but admire her for finally winning over Yue Guan and Gui Mei using the immortal herbs from the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eyes.
You see, in the three years since she joined the Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong had been trying to get closer to Yue Guan and Gui Mei to bring them under her command.
Unfortunately, since Qian Xunji was still in his prime and Bibi Dong wasn't strong enough at the time, Yue Guan and Gui Mei had always turned a blind eye to her requests.
Originally, Su Mo thought Bibi Dong's plan from three years ago — obtaining Yue Guan's Immortal Herb Atlas — was a way to get rid of Yue Guan and claim all the immortal herbs for herself.
After that, she could use the immortal herbs to subdue Yue Guan, and then, through him, bring Gui Mei under her control.
But unexpectedly, Bibi Dong used the shared interest of exploring the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eyes to her advantage, using the divine-grade spiritual herbs found there to win them both over to her side.
But thinking about it, it makes sense.
With shared interests and betrayal of the Spirit Hall,
The current relationship between Bibi Dong, Yue Guan, and Gui Mei is far stronger than what she could have achieved by simply trying to earn their favor.
Now, Sister Dong'er finally has her own power within the Spirit Hall!
"Your Highness, what exactly is this divine-grade spiritual herb?"
Hearing the conversation between Bibi Dong and Yue Guan, Dugu Bo—who had just introduced premium common medicinal materials but knew nothing of divine-grade spiritual herbs—couldn't help but ask:
"Immortal spiritual herb, this is a spiritual herb that only exists in legends."
According to records, a spirit master who consumes an immortal herb can increase their cultivation by 100%, with the exact increase depending on their realm.
And that's just the most basic benefit. After consuming an immortal herb, the spirit master's cultivation talent may also significantly improve, and in some cases, even their martial spirit can evolve!
In response to Dugu Bo's question, Bibi Dong smiled slightly and said slowly:
"What?! This immortal herb can also cause martial spirit evolution?!"
After hearing the effects of the immortal herb, Dugu Bo widened his eyes in shock.
For a moment, Dugu Bo couldn't help but feel regret.
Back at the Dugu Mansion, Bibi Dong had spoken to him privately. After learning that he had a medicinal garden in the Sunset Forest, she had asked for some herbs from it. He should have refused.
However, that thought only briefly crossed Dugu Bo's mind.
As someone who keeps his word, Dugu Bo would not go back on a promise even to ordinary people—let alone to his benefactor.
Still, now that he knew how valuable the immortal herbs in his medicinal garden were, he quietly hoped Bibi Dong would leave him one or two.
After all, such rare treasures—let alone for personal use—could be passed down to future generations!
However, even though he thought this in his heart, he was also someone who cared about appearances.
Having already agreed that Bibi Dong could collect any herb from his medicinal garden, Dugu Bo held his tongue and said nothing.
Meanwhile, since Yue Guan had introduced the premium herbs around the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eyes earlier, Bibi Dong had already surveyed the area and identified all the immortal herbs there. So, after
Reaching an agreement with Yue Guan and Gui Mei,
Bibi Dong immediately took out the jade box and knife she had prepared and walked over to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eyes to collect as many immortal herbs as possible.
Under Su Mo's gaze,
From legendary herbs like the Fragrant Immortal Product, Beautiful Tulip, Phoenix Tail Cockscomb, and Autumn Dew Longing seen in the original novel, to rare herbs not mentioned in the original, like the Sky Blue Jade Snake Orchid, Purple Moon Starflower, Earth Dragon Golden Gourd, and Black Jade Bamboo Shoots...
Bibi Dong swiftly collected almost all the immortal herbs.
However, after harvesting them, she took out several boxes and handed them to Yue Guan, Gui Mei, and Dugu Bo respectively.
Among them, Yue Guan's box contained, as expected, the Qi Rong Tong Tian Chrysanthemum.
Gui Mei's jade box contained a black flower that looked as if carved from black jade, with stars and crescent moon patterns on its leaves, and layers of interwoven petals.
This was the immortal herb Mo Yu Xing Yue Tan, one of the few dark-attribute immortal herbs, perfectly suited for Gui Mei.
As for Dugu Bo, he received two jade boxes.
In one box was a plant with green stems and leaves, leaves shaped like snake tongues, and orchid-like flowers that glistened like jade.
This was the Tian Qing Yu She Lan (Azure Jade Snake Orchid), which has no special attribute but, like the Qi Luo Tulip, can cause martial spirit evolution.
However, while the Qi Luo Tulip mainly allows evolution of support-type martial spirits like the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda, the Azure Jade Snake Orchid can evolve all snake-type martial spirits.
In the other jade box given to Dugu Bo was a purple Ganoderma with nine golden ring-like patterns on its cap.
This was the Ninth-Grade Purple Ganoderma mentioned in the original novel. Though not a divine-grade item, its effects surpass even some divine-grade herbs.
"Senior Dugu, these two divine herbs are for you..."
After handing him the jade box containing the Azure Jade Snake Orchid and Ninth-Grade Purple Ganoderma, Bibi Dong smiled and explained their effects.
Dugu Bo was, of course, extremely grateful.
He had promised Bibi Dong that she could take any herbs from his medicinal garden—even if she took them all, he wouldn't complain.
But he didn't expect Bibi Dong to leave him two divine-grade spiritual herbs, and not even take the rest of his garden's herbs.
However, seeing Dugu Bo's grateful expression, Su Mo frowned.
Because he suddenly thought of Tang San from the original novel.
In the original novel, Tang San used the three conditions promised by Dugu Bo to directly take all the herbs from the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eyes, not leaving even one behind.
He only gave Dugu Bo one divine-grade spiritual herb in return.
How stingy!
"Xiao Mo, this is for you..."
After giving Dugu Bo the divine-grade herbs, Bibi Dong turned to Su Mo with a gentle smile and handed him a jade box.
Inside was a large light pink flower with a stem a meter long, no leaves, and a massive bloom a foot in diameter. Each petal was crystalline, and the pale pink stamens emitted a captivating fragrance.
This is... the divine-grade Fragrant Qiluo?!
Seeing the divine-grade spiritual herb in the jade box, Su Mo was stunned.
Because, according to his memory—and according to the description in Yue Guan's Immortal Herb Atlas that he had also read—the Youxiang Qiluo was an immortal herb, the top-tier kind, like Lovesick Heartbroken Red!
