Then, witnessed by everyone, Tang San described the characteristics of more than twenty types of immortal herbs in one breath. Not finished yet, Tang San had another clever idea and described the characteristics of over ten more spiritual medicines that were a notch below immortal herbs but still very powerful.
After finishing describing all these immortal herb characteristics in one go, Tang San was somewhat parched.
Meng Bei looked at Tang San calmly and said:
"Are you finished?"
Upon hearing this, Tang San thought back and felt there were no gaps, so he nodded.
Seeing this, Meng Bei said nothing and directly took out his immortal herb "Love Stronger Than Gold Cold Heaven Grass" from the system.
The moment this immortal herb was taken out, a huge soul power fluctuation erupted, and the air everyone was breathing suddenly turned to white mist.
Cold, so cold!
What appeared before everyone's eyes was an ice-blue immortal herb that looked like crystal.
The whole thing was semi-transparent, with two slender leaves growing from it. These two leaves were intertwined and connected together, forming an unbreakable clasp.
"What, what immortal herb is this?"
Tang San looked at the Love Stronger Than Gold Cold Heaven Grass before him in disbelief. From the herb's quality, it wasn't hard to see that this absolutely surpassed any immortal herb he had obtained before.
But regarding this immortal herb, his Tang Sect's Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record had no record of it whatsoever.
Meng Bei asked: "Third Brother, is this one of your lost immortal herbs?"
Upon hearing this, Tang San looked at the Love Stronger Than Gold Cold Heaven Grass in Meng Bei's hand. His lips moved, feeling extremely ashamed, unable to say a single word.
He knew he was wrong, terribly wrong.
He had misunderstood Meng Bei.
Although he didn't recognize this immortal herb of Meng Bei's, just from the aura it emanated, he could tell that this immortal herb far exceeded all the immortal herbs he had obtained before.
And this also meant that Meng Bei had absolutely no motive to steal his immortal herbs.
After all, Meng Bei had better ones.
"Xiao Bei, I'm sorry. I misunderstood you."
Tang San lowered his head and apologized.
At this moment, seeing Tang San's reaction, everyone already knew the outcome of the matter.
However, what happened next was beyond everyone's expectations.
Meng Bei looked coldly at the extremely ashamed Tang San and questioned:
"Third Brother, they're just a few medicinal herbs, yet you actually suspected me. How important could these so-called immortal herbs be that they made you suspect your own companion?"
Tang San was made to lower his head by Meng Bei's words, feeling extremely ashamed, but he still couldn't help explaining:
"But, but Xiao Bei, you don't know how important these immortal herbs are. Each immortal herb is a true treasure of heaven and earth that can completely transform a person. I lost these immortal herbs and was really too anxious, so I..."
Upon hearing this, Meng Bei said disappointedly:
"What kind of reason is that? So what if these immortal herbs are precious? Does that justify suspecting your own companion? Third Brother, you're really too disappointing!"
Saying this, under everyone's extremely shocked gazes, Meng Bei actually took the extremely precious immortal herb in his hand and, as if discarding trash, threw it directly on the ground.
Then Meng Bei didn't even look at the immortal herb and walked away directly.
As Meng Bei walked, he said:
"Immortal herbs, heh, what do mere immortal herbs amount to? Even without eating any immortal herbs, I, Meng Bei, am still invincible. I discard this immortal herb like worn shoes. If you want it, take it!"
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Meng Bei's departing figure in long silence.
Xiao Wu snorted coldly and similarly echoed Meng Bei's words:
"Third Brother, I'm so disappointed in you!"
After saying this, Xiao Wu also left in Meng Bei's direction.
Tang San reached out to stop her but couldn't.
"I, I..."
Looking at the immortal herb Meng Bei had thrown down before him, Tang San knelt on the ground.
"Was I, was I really wrong?"
[Ding! Side quest "Tang San's Forgiveness" completed. Reward obtained: Friendship Bracelet!]
Meng Bei had left, and Xiao Wu, Rongrong, and others had also left.
Tang San knelt on the ground in guilt, unable to get up for a long time.
Seeing this, the Grandmaster helped Tang San up and comforted him:
"Xiao San, pull yourself together. Everyone makes mistakes sometimes. Knowing your errors and being able to correct them is what you should do."
Tang San was very moved after hearing this.
He thought for a moment, picked up the Love Stronger Than Gold Cold Heaven Grass that Meng Bei had thrown down, stood up and said:
"Teacher, you're right. I should pull myself together now. I wrongly accused Xiao Bei, which was wrong of me. But this also means that the real culprit who stole my immortal herbs is still at large. I must catch this culprit—he's the real mastermind!"
Saying this, Tang San picked up the Love Stronger Than Gold Cold Heaven Grass, preparing to put it in his mouth.
Since Meng Bei didn't want it, he couldn't waste it.
Although he didn't know the specific information about this immortal herb, through simple observation, Tang San was confident he could refine it with the powerful inclusiveness of his Mysterious Heaven Skill.
Tang San urgently needed to improve his strength now.
Only by possessing powerful strength could he find a way to catch the real culprit who stole his immortal herbs.
In the distance, Meng Bei quietly observed Tang San from the shadows.
He had deliberately left this immortal herb for Tang San.
Because this immortal herb had problems.
Although the system praised it as the king of immortal herbs that could increase soul power by a full ten levels, its inherent characteristic of selfless dedication made Meng Bei shudder.
Although it wasn't mandatory, as long as one selflessly dedicated to others, they could temporarily increase their cultivation speed. Over time, the thoughts of the person who absorbed this immortal herb would definitely be affected.
Meng Bei was not someone who liked selfless dedication.
Ten levels of soul power meant nothing to him—at worst, he'd just do a few more quests. But if he had to be selflessly dedicated, that he couldn't accept.
So this immortal herb was better left for Tang San.
Compared to selflessly dedicating to others, Meng Bei preferred others selflessly dedicating to him.
For example, having Tang San selflessly dedicate Xiao Wu to him.
This was a win-win solution.
It could both improve Tang San's cultivation speed and allow him to openly enjoy Xiao Wu in front of Tang San.
It could be said to be a double win.
Meng Bei thought this was very good.
At this time, under Meng Bei's secret observation, Tang San was about to put the Love Stronger Than Gold Cold Heaven Grass to his lips when suddenly, a large hand grabbed Tang San.
"Xiao San, you can't eat it!"
Dai Mubai grabbed Tang San's hand and said.
In the distance, Meng Bei frowned.
What was going on? Did Dai Mubai know about this immortal herb?
Meng Bei thought about it, then heard Dai Mubai say to Tang San:
"Xiao San, this is the only immortal herb left. How can you hog it all to yourself!"
Upon hearing this, Meng Bei breathed a sigh of relief.
So Dai Mubai didn't know about the problems with this immortal herb, but wanted to compete with Tang San for it.
In that case, he didn't mind either. After all, the little cat was also quite nice.
At this time, Tang San gripped the immortal herb tightly, looked at Dai Mubai, and said:
"Mubai, Xiao Bei said personally that he doesn't want this immortal herb anymore. If I wanted it, I should take it!"
Upon hearing this, Dai Mubai said in an unfriendly tone:
"That's not right, Xiao San. I remember Xiao Bei's exact words were:"
"If you want it, take it!"
There's not just 'you' in there, but 'you all'!"
