After giving Hu Liena the immortal herbs,
Yun Chuan went to the courtyard where Chrysanthemum Douluo was. The surrounding area was a vast medicinal garden, planted with all sorts of plants. Although not very old, some were indeed extremely rare varieties. Of course, there were no immortal herbs.
After all, some immortal herbs required extremely demanding growing conditions; they couldn't simply be planted in any spot and allowed to grow.
"Is Elder Chrysanthemum here?"
Upon arriving at the entrance of the medicinal garden, Yun Chuan didn't go in. Instead, he called out from the gate.
Soon, a slightly effeminate voice came from inside the garden.
"Coming, coming."
A middle-aged man in gardener's clothes, covered in dust, with a gentle and effeminate appearance, slowly walked out. He carried some gardening tools. Clearly, he had been tending the medicinal garden and had come out upon hearing the voice.
"So it's Xiao Chuan back!"
Chrysanthemum Douluo's eyes lit up when he saw Yun Chuan, and he exclaimed with delight.
"Elder Ju, long time no see."
Yun Chuan smiled and nodded, acknowledging the greeting.
In the Spirit Hall, Yun Chuan and Ju Douluo had a good relationship. After all, he had specifically followed him to learn about medicinal herbs for the sake of immortal herbs. Therefore, although they weren't officially master and disciple, their relationship was practically that of master and disciple. Their relationship was naturally good.
In Ju Douluo's eyes, Yun Chuan was a diligent and studious child. So he imparted all his life's knowledge and the hereditary knowledge of medicinal classics to him.
Now, it was time to reap the rewards.
...
"This...this really is..."
Ju Douluo held an open jade box, trembling with excitement. His expression was one of disbelief, as if he were dreaming.
Inside the jade box lay a large chrysanthemum, a magnificent purple. Strangely, each petal appeared fuzzy and exceptionally cute. The entire chrysanthemum was perfectly formed, yet emanated no fragrance. The central stamen rose more than half a foot above the petals, its tip shimmering with a faint golden light.
"Qi...rong...tong...tian...ju!!!"
His voice trembled as Chrysanthemum Douluo slowly uttered the name of this immortal herb in the jade box.
"It really is the Qirong Tongtianju?" He murmured, his expression dazed, "Am I dreaming?"
Immortal herbs held immense significance for Chrysanthemum Douluo.
Coming from a family renowned for its immortal herbs, he had known since childhood how precious they were. Therefore, he had devoted his entire life to searching for immortal herbs. Unfortunately, he had never found one.
Gradually, he gave up.
After all, the growing conditions required for immortal herbs were too demanding; he even doubted that any place in the world could meet their requirements.
But now, before his very eyes...
A living, breathing immortal herb appeared before his eyes!
How could he not be captivated and lose control of his emotions?
Especially since this immortal herb was none other than the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum, the same as his martial soul!
The effects of this immortal herb on him would be completely different from those on Dai Mubai. For Chrysanthemum Douluo, who possessed the neutral immortal herb Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum as his martial soul, the effect of this immortal herb was no less than that of top-tier immortal herbs like the Acacia Heartbreak Red!
Because its attributes were so perfectly suited to him. The same martial soul allowed him to absorb the medicinal power of this immortal herb perfectly!
Originally, Chrysanthemum Douluo had no hope of reaching the Super Douluo realm in his entire life. But now, as long as he devoured this Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum, he was even confident that he could break through to the level 99 Limit Douluo realm!
That's right, the effect of an immortal herb with the same martial soul on him was that great.
After a long while...
Finally recovering from his shock, Chrysanthemum Douluo held the jade box with trembling hands, excitedly asking, "Xiao Chuan, how did you obtain this immortal herb?!"
The immortal herb he had searched for his entire life without success was now being presented to him. It truly gave him a sense of the unpredictability of life.
"It's all thanks to you,"
Yun Chuan smiled, half-jokingly saying, "When I was training, I accidentally stumbled upon a strange place. I discovered that many rare and exotic herbs were growing there..."
"Rare and exotic herbs?! You mean!!!" Chrysanthemum Douluo's eyes widened suddenly, his face filled with disbelief.
"That's right."
Yun Chuan nodded, confirming his guess: "That place is full of rare herbs that can't be seen anywhere else, and even immortal herbs are not uncommon!"
"Such a treasure trove exists in the world..." Chrysanthemum Douluo was completely stunned. A place he had searched for his entire life without success, and Yun Chuan had casually stumbled upon it during a training session... He truly didn't know what to say.
"If I hadn't studied the knowledge of immortal herbs under Elder Ju, I probably would have mistakenly entered that place and never recognized it as a treasure land. I certainly wouldn't have known that those things growing everywhere like weeds were actually rare and precious immortal herbs!"
Yun Chuan said with a smile. "Therefore, after I swept away all the rare herbs in that treasure land, I specially selected a Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum to give to Elder Ju." He then added somewhat uncertainly, "I think this immortal herb should have a special effect on you, right?"
"Useful! Extremely useful!"
Ju Douluo nodded repeatedly, his face filled with fascination as he gazed at the wondrous Tongtian Chrysanthemum in the jade box. He murmured as if bewitched, "For me, the effect of this wondrous Tongtian Chrysanthemum is greater than any other immortal herb! With the help of this immortal herb, I might even have a chance to break through to the Limit Douluo realm in the future..."
"I'm glad you're satisfied."
Yun Chuan, seeing his ecstatic expression, nodded and smiled, "Then I won't disturb Elder Ju any longer. Let's talk again next time."
Having finally obtained the immortal herb he had longed for his entire life, Yun Chuan knew without a doubt how impatient Ju Douluo was. Therefore, he took his leave directly.
Ju Douluo didn't stand on ceremony to keep him, but simply nodded and said solemnly, "Little Chuan, I won't thank you enough for such a great kindness. I, Yue Guan, will never forget the grace of receiving this immortal herb today!"
"Elder Ju, you flatter me."
Yun Chuan smiled and waved his hand, then turned and left.
For him, it was indeed just a matter of convenience. After all, he had plenty of immortal herbs, and they were a renewable resource. Naturally, he didn't consider them particularly precious.
Without Chrysanthemum Douluo's knowledge of immortal herbs, he would be completely clueless, unaware of their medicinal effects or how to consume them. Just thinking about the bizarre ways some immortal herbs were consumed… he felt that exchanging a single immortal herb for herbal knowledge was an incredibly profitable deal.
Next,
Yun Chuan began distributing immortal herbs throughout the Spirit Hall. Almost everyone he knew well, had a good relationship with, and showed potential received an immortal herb. This included two of the other three members of the Spirit Hall's Golden Generation from the original story: Hu Liena's brother, Xie Yue, and another guy named Yan.
He did this because immortal herbs, if unusable, would just gather dust in a soul tool; it was better to use them to strengthen the Spirit Hall. Moreover, they possessed the ability to control plants, and the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well still had plant roots. If needed in the future, Yun Chuan could easily cultivate more immortal herbs.
Therefore, immortal herbs weren't considered particularly valuable by Yun Chuan. As it is a renewable resource, there's no harm in giving it away to strengthen one's own faction.
