In the hot pot broth, only a small slice of the ten-thousand-year Ginseng King and ten-thousand-year Angelica was added. The common ginseng and angelica were only a few thousand years old.
Mixed together like this, Yang Wudi felt that the medicinal power from the ginseng and angelica in the mouthful of soup he drank was somewhat lacking compared to the ten-thousand-year medicinal herbs, but still superior to ordinary ones.
Under normal circumstances, Yang Wudi, who was well-versed in pharmacology, would have been able to discern that the soup contained the ten-thousand-year Ginseng King and ten-thousand-year Angelica.
But at this moment, a flustered Yang Wudi didn't think that far ahead. Instead, he looked at Lin Rong with anticipation and asked:
"What is the most precious medicinal herb from that place? Can you let this old man take a look?"
"This..." Lin Rong hesitated, wondering which medicinal herb would be best to fool him with. After all, the few remaining immortal-grade medicinal herbs were out of the question.
Seeing this, Yang Wudi thought Lin Rong was reluctant and quickly said:
"This old man can help you refine medicine for free. If the medicinal herbs are rare enough, I'm even willing to provide additional herbs for you to refine medicine!"
"Really? Clan Leader Yang, you must keep your word. Don't go back on it." Lin Rong smiled and agreed, having already decided which medicinal herb to present.
With a flash of light on his right wrist, a large Ganoderma lucidum appeared in Lin Rong's hand.
The Ganoderma lucidum had nine leaves, its overall color was dark yellow, and its leaves were adorned with light golden patterns, resembling dragon patterns.
"Nine-Rank Dragon Ganoderma!"
With his sharp eyesight, Yang Wudi immediately recognized the Ganoderma lucidum in Lin Rong's hand and blurted it out in a trembling voice.
The Nine-Rank Dragon Ganoderma, like the Nine-Rank Purple Ganoderma, was a top-tier Ganoderma lucidum and a rare medicinal herb found in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye, second only to immortal-grade medicinal herbs.
This item was rare enough and not classified as an immortal-grade herb.
Therefore, Lin Rong presenting this item would not lead Yang Wudi to suspect that immortal-grade medicinal herbs grew in that place.
"Clan Leader Yang, I believe this Nine-Rank Dragon Ganoderma should be enough for you to provide additional herbs and refine medicine for me for free, right?"
As he spoke, Lin Rong handed the Ganoderma lucidum in his hand to Yang Wudi.
"Enough! Of course, it's enough!" Yang Wudi's previously gloomy expression vanished instantly. His hands trembled as he accepted the Ganoderma lucidum, his eyes filled with obsession for the medicinal herb.
After a long while, Yang Wudi carefully put away the Nine-Rank Dragon Ganoderma.
In a much better mood, he voluntarily explained the reason for his visit.
Among the Single Attribute Four Great Clans, the Strength Clan had already joined the Tang Sect.
The other three clans, after witnessing the power of the Buddha's Fury Tang Lotus today, the leader of the Control Clan, Niu Gao, who had always been on good terms with the Titan, decisively joined the Tang Sect without any hesitation.
As for the leader of the Agility Clan, Bai He, he had long favored the Tang Sect, but due to Yang Wudi's face and friendship, he felt embarrassed to agree directly.
Yang Wudi, being straightforward, told Bai He to choose between him and the Tang Sect.
As a result, Bai He ultimately chose to join the Tang Sect and returned ten thousand Gold Soul Coins to Yang Wudi, stating that the debt owed by the Agility Clan to the Breaking Clan over the years was now settled.
This angered Yang Wudi, and he turned and left.
Upon returning to Heaven Dou City and leaving the Strength Clan's residence with a few clansmen, Yang Wudi originally intended to head directly back to the Star Luo Empire.
However, before departing, Yang Wudi suddenly recalled the place with rare medicinal herbs that Lin Rong had mentioned.
Therefore, Yang Wudi instructed his clansmen to find a place to stay while he went to see what rare medicinal herbs Lin Rong had actually collected.
"That disloyal old white bird, when did his spending become so generous? Where did he get the money?"
Yang Wudi grumbled while eating hot pot.
"Where did the money come from? Of course, it came from me," Lin Rong grumbled silently in his heart.
"I bought the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng for one million Gold Soul Coins. Bai He, that old fellow, became rich overnight, so of course, his spending became generous!"
But he couldn't say these words in front of Yang Wudi.
Currently, Tang San had already brought the Strength, Control, and Agility clans under his banner. Although his influence had greatly increased, it was still far from enough to confront Qian Renxue.
Tang San needed time to build the Tang Sect, and Lin Rong himself also needed time to develop his influence.
When the time was right, he would guide the conflict between Tang San and Qian Renxue, allowing him to reap the benefits.
After Lin Rong finished his calculations, he looked at Yang Wudi, who was eating hot pot, and his desire to recruit him resurfaced.
Since Yang Wudi had already severed ties with Bai He, Lin Rong had no more reservations.
However, a suitable opportunity was still lacking at the moment.
Lin Rong possessed the Aromatic Silk Beauty, which could win over the medicine-obsessed Yang Wudi. But to win over the martial arts-obsessed Yang Wudi, his own strength was still somewhat lacking.
Therefore, this matter could only be discussed again in the future.
After finishing the hot pot meal, Yang Wudi asked Lin Rong for a quiet room to start refining medicine.
As expected of a medicine fanatic, his efficiency in refining medicine was extremely high.
He started refining medicine at noon that day, and by the evening of the next day, he had successfully refined a pill using the Nine-Rank Dragon Ganoderma as the main ingredient, supplemented by many rare medicinal herbs he had paid for himself.
"This pill is named the Dragon Rhyme Immortal Ganoderma Pill, a top-tier pill with comprehensive effects,"
Yang Wudi held a jade bottle, took out a two-colored pill, a blend of milky white and light gold, and introduced it:
"It simultaneously possesses numerous effects such as improving aptitude, cleansing the marrow and hair, and enhancing Soul Power."
"The lower the aptitude and the younger the age, the better the Dragon Rhyme Immortal Ganoderma Pill's effects will be in improving aptitude and cleansing the marrow."
"The older the age and the higher the aptitude, the limited the Dragon Rhyme Immortal Ganoderma Pill's improvement in these aspects will be. The vast majority of its medicinal power will be used to boost Soul Power."
"This medicinal pill has resistance. One person can take a maximum of three pills. At the same time, for each additional Dragon Rhyme Immortal Ganoderma Pill taken, its efficacy will be halved."
"Furthermore, the Dragon Rhyme Immortal Ganoderma Pill has a miraculous effect of promoting Martial Soul evolution for those who possess Dragon-type Martial Souls. The lower the quality of the Dragon-type Martial Soul, the better the effect."
"Lastly, the Dragon Rhyme Immortal Ganoderma Pill's effect in boosting Soul Power is more significant for Spirit Masters below level fifty. After level fifty, the Soul Power increase is negligible, like a drop in the bucket."
"In this batch of alchemy, I refined a total of twelve pills. They are all here, please count them."
Lin Rong took the jade bottle and, smelling the unique fragrance of the pills, couldn't help but marvel at how good alchemy was.
Although the Dragon Rhyme Immortal Ganoderma Pill only had the effect of boosting Soul Power for him, his current biggest deficiency was his Soul Power level.
Therefore, the Dragon Rhyme Immortal Ganoderma Pill was quite useful to Lin Rong.
After Yang Wudi handed the pills to Lin Rong, he stood up to take his leave.
Seeing this, Lin Rong politely tried to persuade him to stay, but Yang Wudi stated directly that he couldn't keep those clan members waiting too long in Heaven Dou City and rejected his invitation.
Lin Rong didn't mind; he was only being polite and didn't actually want Yang Wudi to stay overnight.
Lin Rong wouldn't feel at ease with a Soul Douluo who didn't pledge allegiance to him living in his home; he had no sense of security at all.
Thus, Lin Rong lowered his head to look at the jade bottle and thought:
"The Dragon Rhyme Immortal Ganoderma Pill smells quite fragrant. I wonder what it tastes like. Does it taste like candy beans?"
"Hmm, I'll try eating one later!"
