"One immortal herb for you, one for me."
"One for you, one for me."
Ever since Dugu Bo had left, Xiao Lin looked at the ground covered in immortal herbs and went a little crazy, which left even Tang San somewhat at a loss.
"Brother Lin, with so many immortal herbs, how are we going to divide them?"
Tang San knew that immortal herbs contained immense energy.
Under normal circumstances, a person could only absorb one in a short period of time. Even after eating an immortal herb and increasing their rank by five or six, there would still be plenty of residual energy left.
"I don't know much about immortal herbs, but a few days ago, I made a deal with Sect Master Ning of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."
Afterward, Xiao Lin explained the details of the deal to Tang San and handed a black card containing ten million over to Tang San's hands.
"Xiao San, use this money to buy ores and materials for your Soul Tools."
"Although ten million isn't much compared to a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to evolve your Martial Soul, which is worth more than ten thousand gold, it's enough to last for a long time."
"Later on, you can also sell Hidden Weapons to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Ning Rongrong will be our classmate in the future, and her support abilities are not to be underestimated."
"So, if possible, it would be best to find an immortal herb that can make her Martial Soul evolve."
Xiao Lin's words left Tang San with nothing to argue against.
With so many immortal herbs, there really was more than enough to go around.
"Alright then, let's give her this Beautiful Silk Tulip immortal herb."
Tang San didn't have much of a concept of money, but his mind still went blank upon hearing the sum of ten million gold soul coins, so he agreed without further thought.
Of course, the biggest reason was that there were simply too many immortal herbs here. Even after counting in his newly recognized adoptive sister Tang Ni and Dugu Yan, Tang San felt that there was more than enough to distribute.
"As for Brother Lin, this Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum is a neutral immortal-grade medicinal herb. Consuming it will circulate qi through your limbs, clear the blood in your eight meridians, and forge an indestructible body."
"It's perfectly suited for you. As for the Infernal Delicate Apricot and Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well... I've thought about it, and it's still better for you to absorb and digest them, Brother Lin."
"Your new dantian can accommodate multiple attributes without negatively affecting your body. Perhaps you could even form a miniature Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well inside your body without damaging your foundation."
"It's just as you mentioned before, Brother Lin—the immunity to Ultimate Fire and Ultimate Ice."
As Tang San spoke, his eyes sparkled, and he immediately began talking about his own immortal herbs.
"As for me, I'll work a little harder and absorb the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew to strengthen my Purple Demon Eyes. The Daffodil Jade Flesh Bone will moisturize my meridians and nourish my bones.
"Allowing qi to flow through the eight extraordinary meridians. For Xiao Wu, we will give her the King of Flowers, the Yearning Hearbroken Red, and for Tang Ni, the Eight Petal Immortal Orchid."
"As for Dugu Yan, we can give her the Nine Treasure Purple Zoysia to consolidate her foundation and replenish her origin, making up for the flaws in her Martial Soul."
After Tang San finished allocating the vast majority of the immortal herbs, he nodded in satisfaction.
It was a pity that he didn't have a storage Soul Tool that could hold living things. Otherwise, he would have completely emptied this place and left only the seeds behind.
Xiao Lin didn't have any objections to this distribution. Tang San had given him three immortal herbs, while he himself had only taken one, and that was just to strengthen his eyes.
What else was there for Xiao Lin to say?
However, Xiao Lin, knowing the setting of the Yearning Hearbroken Red, caught onto some of Tang San's hidden thoughts.
Oh, wow.
Tang San secretly harbored a crush on Xiao Wu and wanted to test her with the Yearning Hearbroken Red? Well, you couldn't exactly call it testing Xiao Wu, since Tang San certainly only loved her alone.
It was more that his heart was too cluttered, and he harbored some other thoughts that weren't as pure as Xiao Wu's.
"I don't have any problems with that, but even with this distribution, we only have six people. What about the rest of the Emperor Team?"
Xiao Lin wasn't an overly generous person, but this matter of distributing the immortal herbs absolutely couldn't be kept a secret.
Furthermore, if they wanted to participate in the Continental Elite Young Soul Master Tournament, they would need seven people. No matter what, they couldn't allow anyone to feel alienated or develop any resentment.
At the very least, they couldn't afford to have the seventh member feel left out.
"Also, I want one more herb. It doesn't even have to be an immortal herb—just something that can improve Grandpa Jack's physical constitution so that he can enjoy his twilight years in peace."
Although Xiao Lin spoke this way, he had been found and raised by Grandpa Jack, and he absolutely intended to take Grandpa Jack to the God Realm to enjoy a good life in the future.
But it was better to be safe than sorry; he couldn't just wait until he became a God only to find that Grandpa Jack had already passed away from old age.
"Mmm, I've also thought about what you said, Brother Lin. Besides the immortal herbs, there are plenty of top-tier spiritual herbs here as well, which are perfect for the other students to consume."
Hearing Xiao Lin's words, Tang San nodded seriously and said candidly.
"This Snow Silkworm is the absolute best among cordyceps, making it highly suitable for treating injuries and boosting cultivation with its potent nourishing effects. It can be sold... or rather, given to Ye Lingling."
"Also, these two Cinnabar Lotuses are extremely cold in nature. They can neutralize fire poison and suppress intense heat; they would be great for the Shi brothers, so we can give those to them as well."
"Osler and Yu Feng can consume this Yellow Essence to enhance their physical strength and cultivation, and we can give Yu Tianheng this Dragon Blood Grass to help strengthen his Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon martial soul and increase his cultivation a little."
"As for Grandpa Old Jack, he can eat this Vermilion Fruit; it can enhance his vitality and is relatively gentle."
Hearing Tang San prepare a Vermilion Fruit for Old Jack—a supreme treasure that Xiao Lin had only ever heard of in cultivation novels—Xiao Lin nodded in satisfaction.
Although in the Douluo Continent, this Vermilion Fruit might not be as effective as the immortal herbs they were using, since it dared to bear this name, it definitely wouldn't be bad.
As for Tang San preparing to give other supreme treasures to his fellow classmates, Xiao Lin could only say that Tang San hadn't run a household and didn't know how expensive the necessities of life were.
These classmates had not yet gained Xiao Lin's trust, nor did they share the bond of over a year like Tang San and the rest of the Shrek Seven Devils did in the original timeline.
Moreover, Xiao Lin's current classmates came from considerable backgrounds; those studying at the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy were basically all nobles—it was just a matter of the size of their influence.
Even if some of them truly couldn't afford it, they could just take out a loan, right?
With an exorbitant interest rate of "nine out, thirteen back," they could simply bind the people who couldn't afford the immortal herbs to the Tang Sect that Tang San would establish in the future.
The more they borrowed, the more likely the Tang Sect would have inherited families just like the four great families of the Clear Sky Sect.
Xiao Lin soon explained the pros and cons to Tang San, getting him to agree to the plan. Instantly, Tang San felt even more admiration for Xiao Lin. To think of using his intelligence for loans, and even inventing things like installment plans—
Tang San was completely won over and willing to bow to his superiority.
"By the way, Xiao San, why does it sound like this Dragon Blood Grass is actually a bit better than the Nine Treasure Purple Zoysia? Wouldn't it be better to give it to classmate Dugu Yan?"
This wasn't because Xiao Lin didn't trust Tang San, but because he knew that the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well existed because the bodies of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings were buried beneath it.
Thinking about it this way, the Dragon Blood Grass sounded even more extraordinary.
Upon hearing this, Tang San involuntarily nodded. "That's true. I previously thought that with Brother Lin's soul ring recommendation, it would be enough for Dugu Yan's martial soul to evolve, and I didn't think about selling it to Yu Tianheng, so I..."
"But it really is strange. The immortal herbs around this Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well are odd. Even though they are immortal herbs, they didn't develop sentience to become soul beasts."
"Besides, there are far too many medicinal herbs like the Dragon Blood Grass here; each one grows extremely plump and is massive in size."
Unlike the original timeline, Tang San, because of Xiao Lin's presence, noticed something was amiss during their conversation.
"Take this Dragon Blood Grass, for example. Its bright red leaves have golden veins, making it look as if it has literally been bathed in dragon blood, and that true dragon blood flows inside it."
"Could it be that deep beneath this ground, there are two Ice and Fire Dragon King soul beasts buried here, both over 100,000 years old?"
Tang San pointed at a half-meter-tall Dragon Blood Grass, speaking with disbelief and immense curiosity.
"Hmm, yes, that's possible. But for now, let's absorb our immortal herbs first."
Xiao Lin nodded very perfunctorily; he hadn't expected Tang San to guess a part of the truth so directly.
"Alright, Brother Lin. I will fetch the Infernal Delicate Apricot and the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass for you first."
Tang San agreed.
In the next second, the Ghost Shadow Perplexing Step was activated as he rushed to the bank of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, drawing a dagger forged from pure iron.
