Yue Guan was in utter disbelief.
Even he and Ghost Douluo were always trembling in fear before Bibi Dong, not daring to hide a single thing, yet Yan dared to say such a thing?
"Yan, are you looking to die? This matter is no small thing. You must have eaten leopard gall to dare hide something from Her Holiness the Pope!"
Yan remained calm.
"Elder Chrysanthemum, I naturally have my reasons for doing so."
"What reasons? Go ahead and tell me."
Yue Guan was both confused and curious.
Yan went on to explain:
"Inside the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, there are hundreds upon hundreds of immortal herbs. Some of them have yet to fully mature and have been carefully nurtured and guarded by Dugu Bo like treasures.
If the Pope were to learn of the existence of such a blessed land and sent people to take control of it, do you think Dugu Bo, with his temperament, would just hand it over?"
Yue Guan pondered deeply. Before he could respond, Yan continued:
"No! He wouldn't. He would go down with a fight against Spirit Hall and destroy all those immortal herbs in the most extreme way—he wouldn't leave behind a single one! I believe, not only him, but anyone would do the same.
Moreover, only Dugu Bo, you, and I know about the existence of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. If Spirit Hall takes over, it will become public knowledge. By then, that blessed land will become a target of countless powerhouses.
Looking across the entire Douluo Continent, how many people are there who love and cherish flowers as you do? I fear that by then, that naturally endowed land will be trampled and ravaged by looters, perhaps even destroyed completely.
I think you wouldn't want to see that happen, would you?"
Earlier, Yan's vivid description of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and its surrounding immortal herbs had filled Yue Guan with longing. He couldn't wait to fly there immediately to witness those immortal herbs with his own eyes.
Imagining the rare and exotic flowers and plants in that mysterious land being destroyed by brutish invaders made his heart ache as if cut by a knife.
Yan could have kept the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well a secret from him, but he chose to trust him and told him everything without reservation.
That moved him.
He knew Yan was not someone who gave up easily; he surely had other thoughts in mind.
"Yan, we can't just sit back and let that old poison freak monopolize that immortal herb garden, can we?"
"Of course not. Since he likes tending flowers and does a decent job, let's have him continue taking care of them for us. After all, I've already picked the few top-grade immortal herbs from that place."
"??"
Just as Yue Guan was left baffled, Yan took out the Myriad-Spirit Treasure Box that Yue Guan had given him from the soul tool at his waist.
"Elder Chrysanthemum, take a look."
As he spoke, Yan retrieved the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum from the treasure box.
Yue Guan's dazed expression was instantly replaced by a look of indescribable shock the moment Yan took out the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum.
His eyes widened, locked firmly on the immortal herb in Yan's hand.
The Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum shimmered with a tantalizing golden glow before his eyes.
His body unconsciously leaned forward, hands trembling slightly, yearning to touch the Immortal Herb.
Shock, joy, disbelief all kinds of emotions intertwined on his face.
At this moment, his heart was overwhelmed with unspoken words, yet he didn't know what to say.
"This... this is the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum?"
Yue Guan was incomparably excited; his hands, like his voice, were still trembling.
Yan smiled as he placed the singular Velvet sky Chrysanthemum into Yue Guan's hands.
"Elder Chrysanthemum, it's yours now."
Yue Guan carefully received the singular Velvet sky Chrysanthemum, as if cradling a priceless treasure.
His fingers gently stroked it, feeling the surging vitality it exuded.
Tears shimmered in his eyes, his voice choked with emotion:
"This... this really is the Singular Velvet sky Chrysanthemum."
Yue Guan's heart was filled with gratitude and emotion. He fully understood the value of this Singular Velvet sky Chrysanthemum.
After a long while, he finally calmed down from his overwhelming feelings.
"Yan, did you pick this Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well?"
"Yes."
"And did you pick other immortal herbs as well?"
"I did."
Yan had no intention of hiding anything from Yue Guan. Without hesitation, he opened the Myriad-Spirit Treasure Box.
In an instant, brilliant multi-colored lights spilled out from the box.
Yue Guan, who had just calmed down, was once again overwhelmed with excitement.
"That's... Yearning Heartbroken Red... Aromatic Silk Beauty... Snow Swan's Kiss... Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower... Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew... Beautiful Slik Tulip!"
Yue Guan had studied flowers and herbs his entire life, yet never before had he seen so many top-grade immortal herbs at once.
This was, perhaps, the happiest moment of his life.
After regaining his composure, Yue Guan looked at Yan with disbelief, smiling as he said:
"Yan, you're really something. Just how did you manage to pick these top-grade immortal herbs? Tell me in detail."
"Mm."
Then, Yan told Yue Guan in full detail how he had picked those herbs, consumed the Eight Petal Ice Crystal Grass and the Blazing Delicate Apricot, and how he had narrowly escaped death by jumping into the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well when he was nearly discovered by Dugu Bo.
After hearing this, Yue Guan was greatly shocked. He hadn't expected Yan to have such courage and resolve.
"Yan, you really are lucky to have escaped right under Dugu Bo's nose.
Those two highly poisonous immortal herbs must be taken together consuming either one alone would have resulted in severe poisoning and instant death.
You really were fortunate. Maybe it's the heavens watching over you.
During the time you woke up from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, I just happened to return to the Sunset Forest to look for you, which drew Dugu Bo's attention."
Yan nodded.
"No wonder! When I woke up, Dugu Bo wasn't there. If you hadn't come back to look for me, he wouldn't have left, so in a way, you saved my life."
Yue Guan waved his hand and smiled: "It's all thanks to your great fortune, destined to survive this calamity."
Yan's honesty moved Yue Guan, and he now agreed with Yan's way of thinking.
In order for those immortal herbs to grow better, the existence of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well must not be revealed to more people.
"Then let's keep this matter a secret for now. Once we kill Dugu Bo in the future, that secret garden will be known only to the two of us. By then, it will be ours."
"Exactly, that's what I was thinking."
As Yan spoke, he handed the Snowy Swan Kiss to Yue Guan.
"Elder Chrysanthemum, I think it's better for you to keep this Snowy Swan Kiss. Over the years, countless soul masters have died to Dugu Bo's snake venom. If we ever encounter him again, let him have a taste of the tenfold backlash from the Jade Phosphorus Snake Emperor's venom."
"Good idea, haha~"
Yue Guan took the Snowy Swan Kiss and pointed at the other immortal herbs, giving one reminder after another.
"This Yearning Heartbroken Red is the king of flowers, the Aromatic Silk Beauty Immortal Herb is a nemesis of all poisons, and the Beautiful Tulip is a top-grade auxiliary herb. Keep them well for now they might come in handy in the future.
This Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower can boost your flame power and help you improve your soul power. But since you just took two highly poisonous top-grade herbs, don't rush to take it yet. Doing so might cause an adverse reaction and be counterproductive.
Wait a year, or take it after your soul power reaches Rank 50 the effect will be much better.
This Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew may not be a top-grade immortal herb, but it can improve your mental focus and help you better absorb the two herbs inside your body. You can take it now."
Yan nodded.
He also understood that taking the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower now wasn't suitable. Even if his body could handle it and he instantly gained several soul levels, he wouldn't be able to explain it once he returned.
The Eight Petal Ice Crystal Grass, Blazing Delicate Apricot, and Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew wouldn't increase his soul power, but they could help refine his body and improve his spiritual strength still a significant gain.
