Sure enough, the moment the jade box was opened, Tang San exclaimed in surprise.
"The Qi Rong Tongtian Chrysanthemum!"
Dai Mubai and the others were drawn by Tang San's voice, their gazes all turning to him.
Tang San didn't keep them in suspense and explained,
"This is called the Qi Rong Tongtian Chrysanthemum. It's a neutral-grade immortal herb. Eating it circulates qi throughout the limbs, unblocks the eight meridians, and can cultivate an indestructible body."
"Indestructible body?"
Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and the other men's eyes lit up, then they all looked at Yin Hao.
However, before Yin Hao could speak, Tang San spoke again.
"The Qi Rong Tongtian Chrysanthemum mainly strengthens the body. Boss Dai should be the most suitable..."
Hearing Tang San's words, Dai Mubai gave him a grateful look.
"You..."
Xiao Wu pointed at Tang San, about to say, "This isn't yours, you can't just say it's suitable for whoever you want!"
But before she could finish speaking, Yin Hao stopped her.
Then, Yin Hao smiled and handed the (fake) Qi Rong Tongtian Chrysanthemum to Dai Mubai, saying...
"Mu Bai, Xiao San knows more about these immortal herbs than I do. Since he says it's more suitable for you, then this Qi Rong Tongtian Chrysanthemum is for you."
Dai Mubai looked at Yin Hao gratefully, then quickly took the Qi Rong Tongtian Chrysanthemum (fake).
Yin Hao then jokingly added,
"This was chosen for you by Xiao San, so don't blame me if anything goes wrong!"
Tang San also took it as a joke and said with a smile.
"Brother Hao is right, come find me if there are any problems!"
"Hahaha..."
...
Afterwards, Yin Hao took out the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower (fake), the Eight-Petaled Immortal Orchid (fake), and the Forgotten River Autumn Water Dew (fake), and let Tang San distribute them. Tang San followed the method in the original story and distributed the immortal herbs to Ma Hongjun, Oscar, and himself.
Then it was the girls' turn, and Yin Hao finally brought out the real immortal herbs: the Qiluo Tulip, the Youxiang Qiluo Immortal Herb, and the King of Immortal Herbs, the Acacia Heartbreak Red.
Tang San remained relatively calm upon seeing the first two, but he was surprised again when he saw the last one, the Acacia Heartbreak Red.
"Acacia Heartbreak Red! It's actually the King of Flowers, the Acacia Heartbreak Red!"
"What King of Flowers? There's a King of Flowers among the immortal herbs?"
Ma Hongjun, who had already received the immortal herbs, asked curiously.
Tang San nodded and then said,
"Although Brother Hao brought back these are all immortal herbs, their effects vary in strength. This Acacia Heartbreak Red, for example, is hailed as the immortal herb among immortal herbs, the King of Immortal Flowers.
It also has a legendary story, long ago..."
Tang San then went on and on about the legend of the Acacia Heartbreak Red, but the author won't go into detail here.
After hearing Tang San's words, Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ning Rongrong were somewhat moved, but remained silent.
Tang San continued,
"This flower is no ordinary plant; it chooses its master. When picking it, you must think of your beloved, be sincere and devoted, and spit out a mouthful of blood onto the petals. If you are even slightly distracted, even if you die from spitting blood, you will never be able to pick the flower. Once picked, the flower will never wither as long as it stays with its master. The stone beneath the flower is named Wu Jue. If you forcibly destroy it, this Acacia Heartbreak Red will also lose all its medicinal power. Consuming this herb grants immortality, comparable to heaven and earth. I conservatively estimate that it can increase your Soul Power by at least ten levels and also comprehensively transform your body."
Then Tang San looked at Xiao Wu, who was still clinging to Yin Hao's arm, and said,
"Xiao Wu, you and Brother Hao are the only couple in Shrek Academy. Why don't you... give it a try?"
Xiao Wu looked up at Yin Hao, and after seeing him nod, she let go of his arm and prepared to step forward. However, before she could go over, she was stopped by a voice.
"Wait, I...want to try too..."
Everyone's attention was instantly drawn to Zhu Zhuqing, who still stood there with a cold face. However, her step forward confirmed that the words she had just spoken were indeed hers.
Dai Mubai's eyes lit up when he saw Zhu Zhuqing step forward. He knew that although Zhu Zhuqing had rejected his advances many times, it was just a facade. In reality, she still cared about him; otherwise, she wouldn't have taken the initiative to try.
Zhu Zhuqing looked at Yin Hao, seemingly wanting his answer.
Yin Hao didn't refuse and nodded in agreement.
After receiving Yin Hao's permission, Zhu Zhuqing circulated her Soul Power, urging her blood and qi to flow. Then, she parted her cherry lips slightly and spat a mouthful of blood onto the petals.
Originally, Yin Hao didn't think she could pluck the Acacia Heartbreak Red. After all, because of him, she probably wouldn't have much goodwill towards Dai Mubai anymore. As for himself? How long had he known Zhu Zhuqing? At most, only two months. Yin Hao didn't think he possessed that much personal charm.
However, things often turn out unexpectedly. After Zhu Zhuqing's blood was sprayed onto the petals, the Acacia Heartbreak Red petals, which had just been growing on the Black Stone, didn't even tremble and simply fell off.
Seeing this, Dai Mubai couldn't hide his smile.
But Yin Hao was filled with utter shock. What… what was going on? It was unlikely that Zhu Zhuqing still liked Dai Mubai; her words when she wanted to become his disciple and her use of illusion magic on him both proved this.
If it wasn't Dai Mubai… then it could be him?
In his previous life, when reading Douluo Continent, Yin Hao had seen many readers comment on the relationship between Bibi Dong and Yu Xiaogang, saying that Bibi Dong didn't actually love Yu Xiaogang that much. It was Qian Xunji who destroyed Bibi Dong's beliefs, gradually filling her heart with darkness. Grandmaster, as her first love, became the only light in her past life, which is why she constantly idealized him in her heart, thus developing a crazy love.
Now…
Yin Hao glanced at Zhu Zhuqing, who was also looking at him. After a brief exchange of glances, Zhu Zhuqing immediately looked away.
It couldn't be that Dai Mubai's actions and his own words had completely disillusioned her with him, and that the pressure from Xingluo and her disappointment in Dai Mubai had made her somewhat similar to Bibi Dong, while he… was in the same position as Yu Xiaogang? A chill ran down Yin Hao's
spine
. It wasn't because he was afraid Zhu Zhuqing liked him, but… he felt he had somehow led her astray, making her seem a bit dark…
Wasn't there a saying? "In the 2D world, I face a yandere head-on; in the 3D world, I run away." She seemed to be embracing that now.
Seeing Zhu Zhuqing pluck the Acacia Heartbreak Red, Xiao Wu pouted unhappily, but didn't say anything.
After Zhu Zhuqing successfully plucked the Acacia Heartbreak Red, Yin Hao divided the remaining two immortal herbs between Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu.
Then, the group of seven, under the protection of Flander and Yu Xiaogang—well, let's leave Yu Xiaogang out of the picture—all consumed the immortal herbs they held.
