Distributing Immortal Herbs

Chapter 14 Distributing Immortal Herbs (Please add to your favorites and vote!)

After a friendly and in-depth conversation, Dugu Bo and Shen Hanyu's relationship became noticeably closer. Dugu Bo's gaze towards Shen Hanyu no longer resembled that of a junior, but inexplicably carried the attitude of someone looking at a close friend.

In this life, true friends are hard to find.

Dugu Bo was not young, so he naturally understood this principle very well.

Shen Hanyu naturally noticed this as well, but since it was a good thing, he naturally wouldn't stop it. As his cultivation level increased, he would indeed need a highly skilled helper to handle some matters when necessary.

Take his fifth spirit ring, for example. This time, the soul hunt requires at least a spirit beast between 40,000 and 55,000 years old, and the quality requirements are extremely high. In the end, even some titled Douluo don't want to provoke such a spirit beast easily. As a quasi-Soul King, he is naturally a little unsure.

But having a titled Douluo as an assistant makes all the difference; at the very least, it will be much easier.

This doesn't mean they're taking advantage of Dugu Bo; it's just a matter of each getting what they need.

But if we really talk about using this word, and that everyone in the world is driven by profit, then it can be considered a relatively fair exchange of interests, with no one being right or wrong.

The two chatted casually for a few more minutes, and Dugu Bo said with some emotion:

"I never expected that the one person in the world who understands me so well is just a thirteen-year-old boy. It's truly fate. Boy, your goal from the beginning was the pool of water behind me and the medicinal herbs beside it. I wasn't wrong, was I?"

Shen Hanyu answered truthfully:

"What Senior Dugu said is true; we juniors have all come here because of this."

Dugu Bo laughed twice, not really caring about the answer to the question, but simply asking with some curiosity:

"Could you please explain to this old man the specific effects of this pool of water and these medicinal herbs that have never been heard of in the outside world? For a genius like you to be so interested in them shows that they are extraordinary."

Shen Hanyu smiled, then slowly walked into the ten-meter range of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye. He immediately felt a strange energy surge into his body, and the surrounding primal force of heaven and earth was so dense that it seemed to have solidified.

"Senior Dugu, each of these herbs has its own use. Some have extreme medicinal properties, while others have extremely neutral and mild effects. Their uses vary, but there is no denying that almost every herb here can create a Title Douluo-level powerhouse. Rather than calling them herbs, it would be more accurate to call them... immortal herbs!"

Dugu Bo walked in slowly, his expression showing both solemnity and shock, and said softly:

"I never imagined that there were herbs in the world with such effects. Seeing is believing, but how did you learn about them?"

Shen Hanyu chuckled softly, then casually plucked a delicate, ethereal herb from the nearby bushes—a herb as white as a beautiful woman's skin and as fine as jade—and tossed it to Dugu Bo, saying:

"How could I know so much? It's just fate. The specific reasons are hard to explain. Senior Dugu, all you need to know is that I, Shen Hanyu, never betray my friends."

Dugu Bo caught the Narcissus Jade Bone, chuckled, and examined the herb in his hand with some curiosity. He didn't delve too deeply into it, but simply asked:

"What is this?"

As Shen Hanyu slowly searched for other immortal herbs, he explained:

"Narcissus Jade Bone and Muscle is a type of neutral immortal herb. Its effects include nourishing tendons and bones, unblocking the seven meridians and eight extraordinary vessels, strengthening the foundation and cultivating the essence, increasing cultivation speed, and bringing a huge boost to soul power without any side effects. It also cleanses impurities in the martial soul and improves the quality of the martial soul."

"This is perfect for your granddaughter; please give it to her."

Dugu Bo looked shocked, then carefully took out a jade box and put the Narcissus Jade Bone inside.

………………

Before long, Shen Hanyu had collected almost all the immortal herbs that could be gathered on the spot, and handed three jade boxes to Dugu Bo.

"Senior Dugu, this first jade box contains a Dragon Blood Grass. Ordinary Dragon Blood Grass can only be considered a top-grade medicinal herb, but the Dragon Blood Grass here is extraordinary due to its region. It has already entered the ranks of immortal herbs. I will leave it to your granddaughter as well. Even if she doesn't transform into a dragon, at least she can evolve her martial soul into the Azure Phosphorous Serpent Emperor like you."

"The second jade box contains a plant for you, called the Fragrant Jade Flower Immortal Herb. Although it cannot be ingested, its fragrance can harmonize and suppress all poisons. Carry it with you, and it will help suppress the toxins in your body until you successfully condense the Poison Pill."

"The immortal herb in the third jade box is called the Nine-Grade Purple Ganoderma, which is the best among Ganoderma lucidum. It has the effects of strengthening the foundation, nourishing the vital energy, and increasing power. Although it is not an immortal herb, its effects are no less than those of an immortal herb. You should keep it for yourself. It can at least make you a level 93 Title Douluo."

"As for the immortal herb in the fourth jade box... it's called the Crimson Swan's Kiss. ​​Its effect is to amplify the toxins on any part of the body it touches by at least a hundred times. This is also a medicinal ingredient left for you to use when the time is right to condense the poison pill. Its effect on you is no less than that of the three immortal herbs. Don't open it casually, or you know the consequences..."

Dugu Bo carefully put away all the jade boxes, then looked at Shen Hanyu and said seriously:

"Thank you very much, young friend."

Shen Hanyu shook his head and said:

"Senior Dugu, there's no need for thanks. I also took a lot of immortal herbs, which can be said to be a huge profit. Moreover, I only gave you all the ones that were suitable for you. In the end, this is still your territory. I took your things, so I'm the one who should be thanking you."

He wasn't trying to curry favor with Dugu Bo; it was just mutual help between friends. If you take something from someone, you should at least show some appreciation, otherwise you'd feel guilty.

As you can see, in the original story, Tang San at least helped Dugu Bo suppress the poison. Although his final fate was not good, at least he got some reward, though not all of it was good.

Dugu Bo laughed heartily and said:

"I'm just guarding this vegetable garden, doing nothing. I'm exchanging a vegetable garden that I don't even know the use of for the friendship of a peerless genius. In the end, it's a worthwhile deal. I only hope that a hundred years from now, you can help me take care of Yan Yan and her descendants. I have no other requests."

Shen Hanyu solemnly clasped his hands in a fist and said:

"Don't worry about that, I promise I'll do it."

Dugu Bo nodded, looking at the bare vegetable garden, and for a moment he felt a strange sense of emotion. After a long while, he said:

"A man of your caliber, if Yan Yan didn't already have someone she likes, I would truly want to entrust her to you. What a pity... what a pity..."

Shen Hanyu frowned, then silently calculated their ages. When Dugu Yan first appeared, Shui Bing'er was around 16 years old. A Yu was two years older than Shui Bing'er, and he was four years older than A Yu. This meant that Dugu Yan was at least the same age as him, or perhaps one or two years older or younger.

Dating at this age is not uncommon, it's even quite normal, which is understandable in the dating world.

It's such a pity that such a beautiful woman as Dugu Yan got lucky and ended up with that charming but foolish dragon, Yu Tianheng…
