Douluo Continent: Dragon's Journey Across the World

Chapter 112 Knowledge of Immortal Herbs

Upon hearing Chrysanthemum Douluo's words, Yang Ping'an also spoke with unusual seriousness: "Thank you, Master. This disciple will certainly live up to your expectations and strive to cultivate diligently."

Chrysanthemum Douluo waved his hand: "Ping An, you are now my only disciple. There is no need for us to be so formal. You can come and ask me any questions about cultivation at any time. We are not as conservative as those sects and forces."

As if remembering something, Chrysanthemum Douluo took out a token from his body: "This is the Pope's Decree of the Spirit Hall, a symbol of my status as your master. You don't necessarily have to join the Spirit Hall to have it. I'm giving it to you now. If you ever have any trouble in the future, you can always ask the people of the Spirit Hall for help."

Yang Ping'an quickly accepted the token with both hands: "Thank you, Master. I will definitely not let you down."

Chrysanthemum Douluo continued, "Your cultivation is quite good now, but is there anything you're confused about? You can ask me now, as I'm quite busy and may not always be by your side."

Yang Ping'an quickly said, "Master, when I was in dire straits, I ate a lot of herbs. Now I always feel that my knowledge of herbs is still insufficient. Recently, I mainly want to learn about this, so that if I encounter good things in the Star Dou Great Forest again, it will be easier to pick them."

Chrysanthemum Douluo nodded: "You have good opportunities, but unfortunately, due to your lack of knowledge of pharmacology, you have missed many opportunities."

"Our family has dedicated generations to the study of medicinal herbs. In this regard, no one in the entire Douluo Continent can compare to me. The Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum you ate is not a simple herb; it should be called a celestial herb."

Although Yang Ping'an knew that the immortal herb was extremely valuable, he didn't understand the principles behind its formation and its true worth. A hint of confusion crossed his face: "Master, what exactly is an immortal herb?"

Chrysanthemum Douluo nodded: "It's normal that you don't understand immortal herbs. I'm afraid there's not many people in this world who truly understand immortal herbs except for me."

"The so-called immortal herb is formed by gathering the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and the essence of the sun and moon. It often grows in places with extremely rich spiritual energy and takes tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years to grow. It can be said that this thing only exists in heaven and has been heard of in the human world since ancient times."

"If a normal person consumes the immortal herb, not only can they prolong their life, but they can also enhance their soul power level, and even improve their aptitude and physical constitution. It is even possible to reverse aging. It's just a pity that the immortal herb is rare. I have never encountered one in my entire life."

Yang Ping'an seemed to have thought of something and quickly said, "Master, I saw information about the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum in the library before. At that time, I only ate the stamen and petals according to the method, and the root is still there."

After speaking, Yang Ping'an took out a jade box from his soul tool. The jade box emitted a strange aura, which was the remaining half of the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum from back then.

Yang Ping'an had followed the instructions and only ate the stamen and most of the petals of the Tongtian Flower, leaving a few petals and the root stem, which he had carefully preserved in a jade box for this very moment.

Chrysanthemum Douluo trembled slightly as he accepted the jade box. Looking at the few remaining petals and stems, his hands started to shake. He even brought his nose close to smell them, his hands caressing them as if he were stroking a beloved woman.

He couldn't help but mutter to himself, "Not bad, it really is the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum. I never thought I would see such a divine object in my lifetime."

After an unknown amount of time, Chrysanthemum Douluo finally came to his senses and put away the jade box: "Ping An, you are very good. I will keep this root. It may have other effects in the future."

After speaking, Chrysanthemum Douluo produced a large golden book in his hand. The book was very thick, and two elegant characters appeared on its surface: Yue Guan.

Chrysanthemum Douluo handed the book to Yang Ping'an: "Ping'an, this is the culmination of my life's research on various medicinal herbs. You can take it and study it carefully. If there is anything you don't understand, you can ask me anytime."

Although Yang Ping'an was extremely excited, he managed to calm himself down and accepted the book from Chrysanthemum Douluo with both hands.

Next, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Yang Ping'an discussed some issues related to cultivation, as well as some knowledge about immortal herbs.

Before parting, Chrysanthemum Douluo said, "I have some things to attend to, so I'll be leaving now. I'll be at the Soul Master Competition recently, so if there's anything you need, just ask Salas to tell me."

After Chrysanthemum Douluo had completely left, Yang Ping'an couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and began to study the golden book.

From beginning to end, Yang Ping'an had only three purposes for participating in the Soul Master Competition. The first was to obtain Chrysanthemum Douluo's knowledge of immortal herbs, the second was to find a true backer, and the third was to snipe Tang San.

Now that I have the book, I have all the knowledge about immortal herbs in my hands. All the immortal herbs I've been hiding can finally be put to good use. Whether I use them to win over others or to improve myself, they will be of great use. Otherwise, all of this would just be a pile of junk.

The second objective has also been achieved. It is not easy to scheme against a Title Douluo. Only by creating various coincidences can one truly become Chrysanthemum Douluo's disciple. He is also the only one among the many Title Douluos in the original work who might have taken a liking to Yang Ping'an.

No one who can truly cultivate to the level of a Title Douluo is a fool. It requires not only exceptional talent, but also extensive knowledge and experience. They are truly the elite of the elite.

With the intelligence of a Title Douluo, it is virtually impossible to outsmart them. Only by creating such an intangible opportunity can one make a Title Douluo come to him on their own initiative. From beginning to end, Yang Ping'an did not reveal any flaws in his scheme.

As for the purpose of targeting Tang San, Yang Ping'an had been worried about the danger of revealing his strength. Now that he has Chrysanthemum Douluo as his master, he can finally show his strength without worry, at least without the threat from Yu Luomian and his ilk.

The ultimate goal of all this is revenge. Whether it's Yu Luomian or Tang Hao, they must pay the price.

Yang Ping'an carefully perused the books given to him by Chrysanthemum Douluo, and immediately felt as if he had entered a vast universe.

As expected of Chrysanthemum Douluo, his book contains knowledge of almost all plants in the world, from small plants like Blue Silver Grass to various immortal herbs, all of which are described in detail and even illustrated.

Yang Ping'an's gaze was now focused on the Autumn Water Dew. He hadn't recognized it before and dared not eat it rashly, nor did he dare to absorb the ten-thousand-year fourth soul ring. But now, his gaze was filled with fervor.

Throughout the book, the "Looking Through Autumn Water Dew" is a rare herb that can increase spiritual power, and it is also the herb that Yang Ping'an wants to consume next, but unfortunately he can only do so after the Soul Master Competition.

As for the eight-petaled fairy orchid, the exquisite tulip, and numerous high-grade medicinal herbs hidden on his person, he could have other plans for them.

In preparation for this meeting with Chrysanthemum Douluo, Yang Ping'an specially placed the jade box containing the roots of the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum in his soul tool ring beforehand.

However, the fact that he wasn't searched made Yang Ping'an think more highly of his master, Chrysanthemum Douluo.

With a powerful backer, it's about time to show your face.
