It's so good to have a master
Chapter 66 It's so good to have a master
Since taking in three monstrous disciples, Chrysanthemum Douluo has been riding high. He goes out for walks every day and tells other Title Douluos about his disciples, praising their excellence and how he had such a discerning eye to have taken them in. As a result, everyone else has been avoiding him lately.
After Ju Douluo accepted Jerry, Xiao Wu, and Lingling as his disciples, he had Jerry and Xiao Wu move into his courtyard. Lingling is currently living with her mother, so it's inconvenient to help her mother deal with her dark soul power right now. Lingling's mother's dark soul power hasn't been assimilated yet; it seems that assimilation only occurred in Lingling's generation, making it more troublesome to resolve.
Chrysanthemum Douluo's residence covers an area of approximately 500 acres, and each Title Douluo is allocated a separate residence.
The outer perimeter is surrounded by poisonous flowers and plants, with only one entrance, which is guarded by guards every day, making it impossible for ordinary people to enter.
Passing through the area of poisonous flowers and weeds, a straight and wide avenue leads directly to the front of this ancient courtyard. Various flowers and plants are planted on both sides of the avenue, and the fragrance of various flowers wafts over, refreshing and delightful.
Jerry also discovered many plant-type soul beasts inside, some with ages of ten, a hundred, and a thousand years. Jerry found it a bit strange, as it was the first time he had seen other people cultivating soul beasts.
"Master, there are so many spirit beasts here!" Jerry exclaimed.
"Yes, they were originally just ordinary flowers and plants that I really love. The yard is so big, it would be a waste to leave them empty, so I transplanted them all here. Watering and pruning them every day makes me feel exceptionally happy," said Chrysanthemum Douluo!
"Over time, without any external pressure here, they slowly grew into spirit beasts! Because I deal with them every day, and my own spirit is the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum, I know that every plant has some characteristics! I've studied the characteristics of a total of 3600 plants, and more than 300 others are from the Spirit Hall's records, but I haven't found the actual specimens. Since you like them, here are some research records I've kept; take a look!" After Chrysanthemum Douluo finished speaking, he took out a stack of books, each one very thick, and handed them directly to Jerry!
Jerry was a bit dumbfounded. He was just thinking about how to get his hands on these herbal information, and now they'd just taken it.
There are thirteen books in total. Books one through twelve cover the plants that Chrysanthemum Douluo has already researched. There is also a third book, which is not listed as the thirteenth, and its cover says "Unknown Plant!"
The record of the herb should be in this book!
I opened the first book and took a look. The first plant was Blue Silver Grass. A clear picture of it was drawn on the page. Everyone in Douluo Continent would recognize it as Blue Silver Grass at a glance.
Blue Silver Grass is the most abundant plant in the Douluo Continent. It can be found in every region, practically everywhere!
Characteristics: It is very resilient and can survive even if only one root is left.
Growing season: all year round.
Growing environment: It can grow anywhere, but it grows particularly well in places with plenty of sunlight, natural ventilation, and slightly moist soil!
Maximum lifespan: It can grow up to 100,000 years old, at which time it evolves into the Blue Silver Emperor. At 70,000 years old, it can evolve into the Blue Silver King.
Medicinal Value: Ten-year-old Blue Silver Grass has a mild healing effect on injuries; hundred-year-old Blue Silver Grass, in addition to enhancing healing effects, can also neutralize some common poisons; thousand-year-old Blue Silver Grass is already a rare plant, with excellent healing and detoxification properties; ten-thousand-year-old Blue Silver Grass is extremely difficult to find. Records from the Spirit Hall indicate that one was found at 20,000 years old, one at 60,000 years old, and one at 70,000 years old. Ten-thousand-year-old Blue Silver Grass already possesses strong healing and detoxification properties, and also has offensive capabilities, making it virtually impossible for ordinary Soul Masters to kill. It is recommended to bring a fire-attribute Soul Master when hunting it. A seventy-thousand-year-old Blue Silver Grass has become the Blue Silver King. The Spirit Hall dispatched 30 Soul Douluos and 2 Title Douluos to capture it, but it escaped, and the capture attempt failed! A one-hundred-thousand-year-old Blue Silver Grass has evolved into the Blue Silver Emperor. Pope Qian Xunji personally led a team to capture it, and it was ultimately sacrificed to the Clear Sky Douluo Tang Hao.
……
……
The book then goes on to introduce a lot of knowledge about Blue Silver Grass. It's very comprehensive and basically the same as what Jerry has researched himself. It seems that he made the right choice to have Chrysanthemum Douluo as his master!
Jerry then began to study these books!
Chrysanthemum Douluo felt that Jerry and Xiao Wu's soul power levels were relatively high, and the Spirit Hall Academy had nothing left to teach them except for some knowledge of later cultivation, so he took them with him to cultivate.
Furthermore, Jerry and Xiaowu were granted advanced library access, allowing them to study materials at the library on their own.
As a first-time master, Chrysanthemum Douluo didn't know how to teach his disciples, especially three monstrous ones. So he didn't interfere too much with their cultivation. His three disciples did not disappoint him and worked hard to cultivate every day.
Even Chrysanthemum Douluo thought they were cultivating too diligently! He also understood why no one had discovered their geniuses all these years. Since arriving here, these three disciples had been cultivating every single day, spending all their time cultivating except for eating and sleeping. Jerry would even find time to read, while Xiao Wu and Ling Ling only knew how to cultivate. Therefore, they were often sent out to go out and make friends, instead of staying at home cultivating all the time!
When other people take on apprentices, they worry that the apprentices will be lazy and not work hard, so they have to urge them every day. But when it comes to him, he thinks that the apprentices are working too hard and he is afraid that they will become stupid from practicing every day!
Chrysanthemum Douluo was very good to them. Afraid that they would be tired or not eat well, he invited several top chefs to cook delicious food for the three of them every day!
This is just what Xiao Wu and Ling Ling want, so now besides cultivating, they have one more thing to do: eat delicious food!
Perhaps because they came to the Spirit Hall and witnessed its power, Xiao Wu and Ling Ling are now cultivating very diligently and don't go out shopping much anymore!
Now, their master, Chrysanthemum Douluo, has become their logistical support, arranging everything perfectly for them!
Although Chrysanthemum Douluo has a somewhat eccentric personality, he is genuinely good to Jerry and his two companions!
When Jerry mentioned wanting to study meditation techniques, Chrysanthemum Douluo almost emptied the Spirit Hall and even went to other Douluo to exchange meditation techniques. Although Chrysanthemum Douluo paid a high price, seeing how happy Jerry was when he got these meditation techniques made it all worthwhile.
Perhaps it's because he's middle-aged and has never had any offspring of his own, but suddenly has a few disciples, that Chrysanthemum Douluo feels the joy of having children in his old age, so he's especially concerned about them!
Upon seeing these meditation methods, including those of titled Douluo, Jerry immediately understood a great deal!
"Master, thank you! It's so good to have you!" A thousand words can be summed up in a simple "thank you!" Sometimes gratitude doesn't need to be expressed; it's enough to keep it in your heart!
Jerry thought that if he had time in the future, he could go to the Star Dou Great Forest and bring back the immortal herb, the Qi Rong Tong Tian Chrysanthemum, for his master. That way, it might be able to repair the flaws in his martial soul!
