"There's also this kind of Immortal Herb?" Dugu Bo feigned surprise, looking at Ning Fengzhi, "What does the Qiluo Tulip you mentioned look like?"
Ning Fengzhi then described the appearance of the Qiluo Tulip to Dugu Bo, and promised that if Dugu Bo could find any news about the Qiluo Tulip, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would surely reward him handsomely.
Dugu Bo nodded without changing his expression.
After speaking, Ning Fengzhi did not linger and immediately left with Bone Douluo.
"This Qiluo Tulip is one of the herbs Shi Quan left in the medicinal garden." Watching the two figures depart, a glint flashed in Dugu Bo's eyes.
"Shi Quan, come in." Dugu Bo immediately repeated Ning Fengzhi's words from just now.
After listening, a hint of a smile also appeared in Shi Quan's eyes, "Grandpa Dugu, it seems the plan succeeded. I guess Ning Rongrong may have already consumed this Qiluo Tulip. Ning Fengzhi telling you the exact appearance of the Qiluo Tulip should be to test you. Now it's time for your performance."
"You mean?" Dugu Bo chuckled, "Then tonight, we'll go put on a good show for them, but what if there's no audience?"
"Ning Fengzhi specifically brought Bone Douluo with him today, not Sword Douluo, most likely to track you. Even if there's no audience, it won't affect you, Grandpa, right?"
"But is the medicinal effect of that Qiluo Tulip really as astonishing as Ning Fengzhi said?"
"If it were true, Ning Fengzhi definitely wouldn't have come looking for you. I think it's probably because after Ning Rongrong ate the Qiluo Tulip, the effect was unsatisfactory, which is why Ning Fengzhi came to you, wanting to confirm the origin of the Immortal Herb."
Shi Quan chuckled. If it were the complete Qiluo Tulip from the original work, it would indeed be as Ning Fengzhi described. Unfortunately, the medicinal power of this Qiluo Tulip has been extracted, and its effect is greatly reduced. Martial Spirit evolution? That's simply impossible.
"That's true." Dugu Bo nodded, "I just don't know what my medicinal garden looks like now."
"Grandpa Dugu, you need to be mentally prepared. From my understanding of Tang San, I'm afraid it's a mess…"
Outside the valley.
"Uncle Gu, Dugu Bo has changed so much, he must have also consumed an Immortal Herb."
Bone Douluo commented, "He must have. The old poisoner used to reek of poison, but seeing him this time, his aura is perfectly integrated and completely contained. It seems he gained a lot, and his poison skills are clearly stronger than before."
"Uncle Gu, do you still have confidence in tracking him without being discovered?"
"His strength should have broken through to Rank ninety-two. The gap of these three Ranks is not so easy to bridge." Bone Douluo nodded confidently.
Bone Douluo's ability is known in the Spirit Master's world for its unpredictable and troublesome nature. He possesses special spatial power. As one of the few Rank ninety-five agility-attack system Spirit Masters, his methods of reconnaissance and tracking are among the best on the entire continent.
When night fell and all was quiet.
A dark figure leaped out from the valley.
Bone Douluo, hidden in the shadows, finally showed a smile at the corner of his mouth, "He finally came out? Fengzhi really didn't guess wrong."
Space distorted, and Bone Douluo's figure instantly disappeared from his original spot.
"This is?" Dugu Bo, who was moving forward, keenly sensed a slight anomaly. Although he didn't detect any special aura, he could be sure of one thing: there was definitely someone around.
"Shi Quan really guessed right. Gu Rong, that old fellow, is indeed lurking in the shadows. His position cannot be locked. If my strength hadn't broken through to ninety-three, I wouldn't even have noticed." Dugu Bo thought to himself.
The two, one in front and one behind, quickly arrived in the Sunset Forest.
"This old poisoner's herbs are actually planted in the Sunset Forest?" Bone Douluo followed closely a thousand meters behind, cautiously trailing. A Spirit Beast forest is not like the outside. If he encountered any Spirit Beast, he might very likely be discovered by Dugu Bo.
Bone Douluo followed all the way until he reached the outside of the poisonous array, not entering rashly.
"Who! Who exactly did this!"
After a short while, Dugu Bo's extremely angry voice echoed through the forest.
Dugu Bo's angry voice was not faked. Even though Shi Quan had mentally prepared himself beforehand, when he saw his medicinal garden ruined to such an extent, a surge of anger still involuntarily rose from the bottom of his heart.
The roar, carrying the powerful spirit power pressure of a Titled Douluo, transformed into a light green Qi wave, abruptly spreading out from Dugu Bo's body as its center. Wherever it passed, it swept all before it, and the poisonous array covering the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well also collapsed with a roar.
Upon seeing this, Bone Douluo quickly concealed his figure and silently flew several thousand meters away, fearing that Dugu Bo's random outburst of anger would expose his own position.
"Don't let me find you!" Dugu Bo's furious voice rang out.
The next second, Dugu Bo's figure shot out rapidly.
After confirming Dugu Bo had left, Bone Douluo then, based on Dugu Bo's previous location, stealthily entered the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. As soon as he entered the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, he was attracted by its unique environment. When he saw the messy scene on the ground, he couldn't help but shake his head.
"I don't know how Dugu Bo, that old fellow, discovered this place. This environment is indeed special, no wonder so many special Immortal Herbs can grow here. But that old fellow is also unlucky enough; such a secret place was discovered by others. I'm afraid his entire fortune has been stolen, right?"
Bone Douluo chuckled gleefully, then disappeared from his original spot.
Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Upon his return, Bone Douluo immediately told Ning Fengzhi about his discoveries along the way.
Ning Fengzhi also showed a surprised expression upon hearing this. He had not expected such a unique place to exist in the world.
"Tang Hao is truly ruthless. Not only did he steal things, but he also didn't clean up after himself. That messy scene must have angered Dugu Bo, that old fellow, so much that he won't be able to sleep."
"Uncle Gu, according to you, Tang Hao should still have quite a few Immortal Herbs?"
"I can't say for sure. After all, that medicinal garden isn't small. Looking at that scene, Tang Hao and the others harvested at least over seventy herbs. How many of those herbs are Immortal Herbs is unclear, as I don't recognize Immortal Herbs either."
"With so many herbs, there must be quite a few Immortal Herbs." A cold glint flashed in Ning Fengzhi's eyes, "In the end, he only gave Rongrong an ordinary herb, boasting it as some Immortal Herb, and even dragged the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect into it. What a Tang Hao and Tang San."
"Tang Hao clearly did this because he was afraid Dugu Bo would discover that the Shrek group's strength had increased too much and suspect them."
"Tang Hao and Tang San are completely unreliable. Find a way to locate Zhuang Zhou and get the Immortal Herbs suitable for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Martial Spirit from him."
Ning Fengzhi already had a grudge against Tang San, and after this incident, he was even more dissatisfied with Tang San. If it weren't for Tang San's special Hidden Weapons, Ning Fengzhi might have already turned hostile.
Heaven Dou Royal Academy's back mountain valley.
"Tang Hao and Tang San were really ruthless. They completely ruined my medicinal garden…"
Shi Quan suppressed his laughter, listening to Dugu Bo ramble.
"But Tang Hao also helped us solve a big problem."
Only after Dugu Bo finished his rambling did Shi Quan speak.
"Now Yu Tianheng and Ning Rongrong have both eaten the Immortal Herbs given by Tang San. Ning Fengzhi also knows that all the Immortal Herbs have been taken by Tang Hao and Tang San. Their attention will all be focused on Tang Hao. Sister Yanzi and Sister Lingling have also been removed from the situation, and Grandpa, you are also safe. Some ordinary herbs, it's worth the waste."
"That's true." Dugu Bo shook his head helplessly, then continued, "There are still eleven months until the All-Continent Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament begins. News from the Education Committee is that at the start of the next semester, they will arrange an internal assessment between the Heaven Dou Battle Team and the Shrek Team to select the seed team to represent the Empire. This team can skip the preliminary and promotion rounds and directly participate in the finals."
"No problem." Shi Quan nodded, "Grandpa Dugu, I want to readjust Yu Feng and the others' medicinal baths, and at the same time, make some tonifying and strengthening potions for them."
Dugu Bo's deep gaze fell on Shi Quan, "I knew you wouldn't let me be idle."
"Tell me, how do I need to cooperate with you…"
On the other side.
On the training ground, Yu Xiaogang held documents in his hand, distributing them as he spoke, "This is the training plan I customized for you. In the coming days, everyone must strictly complete it, so as to maximize the hidden medicinal power in your bodies."
Everyone took the training schedules handed to them by Yu Xiaogang one by one, and looking at the dense training content on the schedules, they felt a tingling sensation on their scalps.
Not only was the time tight, but the intensity of the tasks was also exceptionally high.
"Uncle, isn't this difficulty a bit too exaggerated?" Yu Tianheng looked at the training schedule in his hand and swallowed. His training plan was more than twice as difficult as the physical training Shi Quan had previously customized, and there was no rest time.
Yu Xiaogang answered expressionlessly, "Only with enough pressure can you unearth the potential of your bodies."
Ning Rongrong immediately said, "The intensity of these training programs is too high. I'm afraid I won't be able to complete them."
Yu Xiaogang looked at Ning Rongrong, his brows slightly furrowed. Ning Rongrong's identity was special, and her friendship with Shi Quan was deep. He was worried that if he pushed Ning Rongrong too hard, she would directly go to Shi Quan.
"If you really can't endure it, you can make slight reductions."
Ning Rongrong's spirit power Rank is currently thirty-one. It's impossible for her to break through to Spirit Ancestor in the subsequent competitions, and her auxiliary ability won't improve… Thinking of this, Yu Xiaogang spoke again, "Little Ao, same for you, but other combat-type Spirit Masters need to strictly adhere to it."
"…"
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately pulled a long face.
"It's decided then. Everyone, begin training." Yu Xiaogang's indifferent voice came, "Qin Ming, Zhao Wuji, you two are responsible for supervision."
Time flowed, and in the blink of an eye, a month had passed.
"Brothers, I've broken through to Rank forty."
Early in the morning, Dai Mubai came to the hall, excitedly telling everyone the good news.
Dai Mubai's improvement made Master even more certain that his training methods were correct…
