Douluo: The blue phoenix cries loudly, and the wind whistles through the air

Chapter 157 A False Hope, Only More Sorrow

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is not short of a mere million gold soul coins, so Ning Rongrong generously said, "Let's split it among ourselves."

Feng Xiaotian waved his hand and took a few steps back.

They didn't participate in the bidding, nor did they invest any money, so they had no reason to enjoy Ning Rongrong's spoils.

Wu Qi laughed and said, "Rongrong, you can choose first. Take what you want. If you don't want the rest, you can keep it as activity funds for the team's expenses."

Ning Rongrong nodded.

With her vast collection, there aren't many treasures that catch her eye.

After picking and choosing, she only took about ten gemstones, and she didn't care about the gold and silver jewelry at all.

"Everyone else, please choose two items. Consider it a reward from the sect," Ning Rongrong said with a smile.

Huo Wu was unpretentious; she chose two pieces of jewelry that she liked and wore them.

Chen Ping chose a gemstone and a piece of men's jewelry to give to his parents after the competition.

The others randomly selected two items, and Feng Xiaotian offered to help them contact the seller for the remaining gems.

"Don't sell everything, or you'll get a bargaining chip. The money from the sales and the remaining treasures can be kept by the captain. If the team has any expenses in the future, just ask the captain."

Wu Qi agreed with a smile.

……

After the auction, many guests noticed that there were significantly fewer high-value items compared to previous years.

Moreover, even the rumored spirit-type soul bone did not appear.

Those who know about this matter will naturally know, and those who don't will not get any results even if they ask someone to inquire.

In short, the royal family will never announce this matter until the murderer is caught!

……

Time flies, and it’s already a month later.

With money in hand and funding from the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile School, the Seven Treasures Team members could spend freely on training expenses and acquire luxurious cultivation resources.

Today, the Shrek Academy group returned to Heaven Dou City.

After helping Tang San hunt for the spirit rings, the group, concerned about the immortal herbs, quickened their return journey.

Upon returning to the academy, Yu Tianheng immediately contacted his family.

That afternoon, members of Yu Tianheng's family lineage quietly met with him at the restaurant outside Shrek Academy.

"Uncle Chen, how is it?" Yu Tianheng asked with a smile.

Yu Chen gave an awkward smile, "Young Master, we did find some things by searching according to your method, but they may not be what you want."

As he spoke, he swiped his finger across the soul tool, and a dozen or so herbs floated in front of him.

Yu Tianheng couldn't distinguish between immortal herbs, but he felt that the spiritual energy of these herbs was somewhat weak, but he still gained something.

"Anything else?" he continued to ask.

Yu Chen shook his head.

What is Thunder Canyon?
The area is constantly surrounded by thunder, making it extremely difficult for even plants to grow, let alone magical herbs.

The fact that they were able to find about ten plants was the result of their exploration of several caves.

Yu Tianheng didn't care too much; whether it was a divine herb or not, Tang San would know soon enough.

After instructing the other party not to leak the information, he quickly returned to the academy with the "immortal herb".

……

At this moment, in a meeting room at Shrek Academy.

Shrek and his group returned weary from their journey, without even resting, and waited for news of the immortal herb. Fortunately, they didn't have to wait long; in just half an hour, Yu Tianheng returned, a smile on his face as he entered.

Everyone was overjoyed and hurriedly asked, "Tianheng, how many immortal herbs do you have?"

Yu Tianheng laughed heartily and waved his hand, causing a dozen or so "immortal herbs" to float on the conference table.

Everyone's eyes lit up as they greedily gazed at the "miracle herb."

Tang San composed himself and began to analyze the types and effects of the "immortal herbs" one by one.

Before long, his expression stiffened.

Noticing his change, Liu Erlong hurriedly asked, "Xiao San, what's going on? Tell me quickly."

All eyes turned to him. Tang San smiled bitterly and said with some annoyance, "Sigh, I should have gone with them."

Yu Xiaogang immediately sensed something was wrong and hurriedly asked, "Xiao San, what's going on? Is there really any immortal herb?"

Seeing the eager gazes of the crowd, Tang San sighed repeatedly before speaking, "Of these fifteen plants, six barely reach the category of pseudo-immortal herbs."

Quasi-immortal herbs are immature immortal herbs; while pseudo-immortal herbs are not immortal herbs in themselves, but are products of "evolution" caused by the excessive spiritual energy of the place where they grow.

In terms of medicinal efficacy alone, the Immortal Herb is superior to the Quasi-Immortal Herb, which is superior to the Pseudo-Immortal Herb.

Hearing the explanation, Yu Xiaogang didn't show much emotion. "Being able to possess the medicinal power of most of the immortal herbs is enough for everyone to improve their strength. Xiao San, you can divide it according to everyone's situation. Including Erlong and Flander, it will be just right."

Tang San remained unmoved.

It's not that he doesn't want to split the relationship, but that he can't.

Seeing everyone's high spirits, he had to pour cold water on them, saying, "Unfortunately, all these fake immortal herbs are dead."

"what for?"

Yu Xiaogang's emotions fluctuated, but he managed to control himself.

Tang San selected the six pseudo-immortal herbs and pointed to each one, saying, "This Thunder Flower requires golden tools to harvest, but the person who picked it used the wrong tools and even broke its roots. It's dead and has completely lost its medicinal properties."

"This Longfeng Grass needs to be exposed to sunlight for three hours every day after it is harvested. The person who harvested it must have stuffed it into a soul tool and forgotten about the sunlight, which caused it to wither."

The magical herb, a treasure imbued with spiritual energy, only has the corresponding medicinal effects when it is "alive"; once it withers, it can only barely reach the medicinal effects of high-grade medicinal materials.

"This"

Yu Xiaogang staggered two steps, and if Liu Erlong hadn't supported him, he probably would have fallen to the ground.

Two of the Shrek Seven Devils who did not obtain the immortal herb remained frozen in place.

Xiao Wu had no interest in the immortal herb, so she didn't feel anxious about losing it.

Ma Hongjun buried his head in his hands, knelt on the ground and wept bitterly, crying, "My miraculous herb!"

Yu Tianheng stood there, stunned, unable to calm down for a long time.

Flander's heart skipped a beat, and he thought: It's over.

Sure enough, the next moment Ma Hongjun suddenly jumped up, his eyes bloodshot, grabbed Oscar, and cursed angrily: "Little Oscar, you fucking give me back my immortal herb!"

Oscar has already absorbed the magic herb, how is he going to repay it?
"Fatty, you're the one who gave me the immortal herb! A gentleman's word is his bond, and now you want to go back? What kind of behavior is that?"

"We're all classmates, let's not make things too ugly."

Ma Hongjun persisted, "Xiao Ao, you're talking nonsense. Even close brothers keep clear accounts. Who do you think you are? Give me back the immortal herb right now, or don't blame me for being impolite."

At this moment, Yu Xiaogang seemed to have lost his soul. Liu Erlong comforted him from the side, and neither of them paid attention to the infighting that had occurred among the Shrek Seven Devils!

Flander wanted to offer some advice, but as Ma Hongjun's mentor, he should avoid any appearance of impropriety at this time; otherwise, Oscar would definitely be upset.

He didn't want to destroy the cohesion that the Shrek Seven Devils had worked so hard to cultivate.

Tang San smiled wryly, wanting to offer comfort but unsure how to begin.
