"This—"
Looking at the jade box pushed towards him, Chu Shanhe showed a rare trace of bewilderment. The Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng was indeed of great use to him; he had originally planned to use it to attempt a third Golden-tier Awakening. However, the Spirit Core Method Chen Yi presented today was too precious, far exceeding the value of a 100,000-year Spirit Bone. Besides this, he truly didn't know what else could compensate Chen Yi.
Since the founding of the Body Sect, it was precisely the fairness of rewarding merit and punishing faults that allowed Disciples from different countries and social strata to willingly believe in the Sect. If no reward was given today, even he himself couldn't cross this hurdle.
Moreover, with the Spirit Core Method now, Chu Shanhe's Opportunity to Breakthrough to level 97 or even 98 had appeared. This Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng was no longer so important.
"No, Yi'er, you don't understand. The Angel God Legacy holder from Spirit Hall is six years older than you. With her Talent, she is at least a Spirit King now. By the time you become a Spirit Saint, she might even have reached Titled Douluo."
"Yi'er, you must remember, for a Genius, time is the most important thing. One step slow, every step slow. You are already six years behind. This Immortal Herb can help you a little, even if it's just a little."
This was the Body Sect. Whether in this World or the original World, the Body Sect might not consider the bigger picture,
but they were truly exceptional to their own people.
Chen Yi felt even more moved deep down. A divine item like an Immortal Herb could turn even biological parents against each other, and it was even more so for a strong individual like the Sect Master, who still had potential for improvement.
However, if Chu Shanhe knew that the future formidable enemy in their eyes, Chen Yi, was actually neglecting precious Golden Cultivation time to pursue some scheme of usurping the nation, he would probably burst into curses.
Neglecting such good Talent, was this not a waste?
"Sect Master, please hear me out first. This Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng is more suitable for you. Only with your strength growing stronger will we have more confidence when we are out."
Seeing that Chu Shanhe was about to say something else, Chen Yi knew that if they dragged this on, neither would be able to convince the other, so he prepared to reveal what he was going to say next.
"Besides, this Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng is not the optimal choice. I also know some information about Immortal Herbs."
Chu Shanhe was stunned upon hearing this. This Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng was the only Immortal Herb he had known to exist in the past three hundred years, yet Chen Yi now claimed to know about other Immortal Herbs.
As expected, the Grand Elder on the side quickly said, "Yi'er, are you sure you know about other Immortal Herbs?"
He couldn't help but be shocked. Since the Sect obtained the Immortal Herb records from the Ye family, for over a hundred years, the strong individuals of the Body Sect had traversed countless dangerous and ancient sites, just to find an Immortal Herb.
The result was predictable. In these hundred years, the Body Sect had found many rare medicinal ingredients, but they hadn't even seen a shadow of an Immortal Herb, leading them to doubt whether these things were merely the fantasies of some supernatural novel authors. It wasn't until Chu Shanhe obtained this Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng from Bai He that they dared to confirm that Immortal Herbs indeed existed in this World,
they simply hadn't had the Opportunity.
Looking around at the shining eyes of everyone, Chen Yi took a deep breath, his tone firm.
"That's right, I do know about other Immortal Herbs. At that time, Teacher Lei Shen once said that in our World, there is a treasure land that combines extreme cold and extreme Yang, named the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well."
"Within it exist some flowers and plants that only exist in the God Realm. Why are Immortal Herbs called Immortal Herbs? Isn't it because of the saying, 'Such things should only exist in the Heavens, how often are they heard of in the human World?' Since those flowers and plants only exist in the God Realm, what else could they be but Immortal Herbs?"
"Yi'er is right. According to our speculation, the conditions for the birth of Immortal Herbs must be extremely harsh. If that Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well is indeed as he described, possessing both extreme cold and extreme Yang, then it's not surprising for Immortal Herbs to be nurtured in such a place where Yin and Yang intertwine."
"And from the sound of it, there might be more than one Immortal Herb inside!"
The Grand Elder couldn't help but sigh at the end. Who would have thought that the Immortal Herbs the Body Sect had sought for many years were all growing in the same place? It was truly lamentable.
Chen Zhen, Hong Yue, and others were all extremely excited. More than one Immortal Herb meant that they might also have a chance to get a share of those legendary Immortal Herbs. Thinking of the Heaven-Defying effects described in the Immortal Herb records, if they all had Immortal Herbs, wouldn't everyone in the future be able to experience the scenery of a Titled Douluo or even a Peak Douluo?
"Yi'er, did Lord Lei Shen tell you the location of that Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well?" The one who spoke was Zhou Zheng, who had just Broken Through to level 76 Spirit Saint. Although he also had a second Bronze-tier Awakening and looked decent,
in reality, in terms of potential alone, he couldn't compare to the Third Elder. Even with a Spirit Core, it would be difficult for him to Breakthrough to Titled Douluo.
Chen Yi nodded first, then shook his head, making the others anxious. Did he say it or not?
"At that time, Teacher just casually mentioned a few words, saying that such a place would actually appear in an ordinary plane; according to him, that Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well is located in a basin covered by poisonous miasma in a large forest."
"It seems there is also an extremely prosperous city nearby."
"Later, I searched through all the maps, and finally I can confirm that the city is Heaven Dou City, the center of the Heaven Dou Empire. As for that forest—"
"It's Sunset Forest!" Hong Yue impatiently blurted out. There was only one large forest near Heaven Dou City, and that was the Sunset Forest located to its east!
Chu Shanhe also stood up excitedly, then let out a loud shout to the outside:
"Gao Zhan, Gao Wen! Come quickly to the Qi and Blood Soaring Hall!"
The sound waves rolled, echoing continuously throughout the Body Sect's station, making everyone surprised. What was wrong with the Sect Master?
Library.
Zhu Hai impatiently turned over, muttering, "Damn Chu Shanhe, why are you wailing like a ghost so early in the morning? Disturbing my good dream!"
Not long after, two streaks of light arrived outside the Qi and Blood Soaring Hall. They were two similar-looking, medium-built men with rather ordinary appearances. The only difference was that one had bright, piercing eyes, and the other's ears looked a size larger than normal.
They were the two strongest scouts of the Body Sect, Gao Zhan and Gao Wen. Their Spirits were their eyes and ears, respectively. With their eyes open, no tiny mosquito within a ten-thousand-meter radius could escape their Dharma Eye. With their ears twitching, they could distinguish the species of even insect chirps within ten thousand meters.
These two had gathered countless intelligence for the Body Sect over the years, and even the Elders treated them with respect.
Looking at the two, the Sect Master's face showed a bit of embarrassment. For years, Gao Zhan and Gao Wen had been traveling for the Sect, and it had been a full ten years since they had returned home. Now, they had only just returned for a few days, and he had to send them out again.
However, this matter was truly too important, and there were no better options besides them.
"Gao Zhan, Gao Wen!"
"Disciple is here!"
"You are to immediately drop everything and go to the Sunset Forest outside Heaven Dou City to search for a basin covered in poisonous miasma. Remember, this matter is of great importance and concerns the future of the Sect."
Hearing Chu Shanhe's serious voice, Gao Zhan and Gao Wen were also extremely solemn, and they said in unison with deep voices:
"Disciple obeys!"
Seeing Gao Zhan and Gao Wen about to leave, Chen Yi hurriedly called out, "Brothers, wait!"
Gao Zhan and Gao Wen were a generation younger than Chen Zhen and the others, so Chen Yi's generation all addressed them as brothers.
The two stopped, looking at Chen Yi in confusion.
"Two brothers, that place is full of poisonous miasma, and I'm afraid it's already occupied. After you find it, do not act rashly for the time being, and immediately send a message to the Sect."
Gao Zhan and Gao Wen hadn't returned to the Sect for over ten years, so they didn't know much about the new people in the Sect. They only knew that Chen Zhen had a son,
but they didn't know what he looked like, so they looked at Chu Shanhe in confusion.
Occupied? Chu Shanhe's eyes flickered after hearing this. If the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was truly occupied, then a Heaven-Defying Genius would definitely have emerged over the years. However, no Heaven-Defying Prodigy had become famous in these years, which could only mean that the owner was someone who didn't recognize its value.
But Heaven Dou City was a gathering place for influential figures. If the other party was a formidable character, Gao Zhan and Gao Wen, with their maximum strength as Spirit Emperors, would likely face great danger.
"Just listen to Yi'er. After you find it, don't rush. First, send a message to the Sect, and then observe the situation."
"Yes!"
