Chapter 51 Immortal Herb - Heavenly Dew and Double-Layered Tomb.
Jiang Nian's smile froze on his face, a hint of helplessness in his expression.
"Fine, let's go back to the room. It's not the first time."
Seeing his obedient demeanor, Bibi Dong raised her arm and rubbed his little head with satisfaction.
"His body isn't that big, but his head..."
A short while later, the two sat cross-legged.
Jiang Nian remained seated at the foot of the bed, his eyes closed as he quietly cultivated.
Bibi Dong stared at his back for a long time before beginning to survey her room. It was very enclosed and secluded.
It might really take some time for Xiao Nian to get out.
Bibi Dong took a deep breath, calmed her mind, and guided her soul power in cultivation.
Time flew by.
In the blink of an eye, a new year arrived.
In a small village far from Wuhun City, most people made a living through farming and handicrafts.
A thin little child, from birth, had shown differences from others.
No one knew when it started, but he often went to sit on the back mountain, sometimes for half a day at a time.
That night, darkness fell.
The little boy returned to his home, looking at the dilapidated thatched hut, the air thick with the smell of alcohol.
"Ugh... Tang Hao! You're such a grown man, and you still let Xiao San do your laundry and cook for you?!"
"He even has to do odd jobs to support your drinking?"
The old village chief scolded, pointing at the middle-aged man inside the hut, his tone full of helplessness.
A moment later, a voice came from inside: "What? Do you need to meddle in my family affairs?"
"Xiao San, hurry up and burn the fire down, and buy some more alcohol while you're at it."
The old village chief's blood pressure nearly spiked after hearing this.
How old is this child?
He already has to support a father with hands and feet?
It's a curse from heaven!
"Village chief, I'll do it."
Tang San smiled faintly, took a step inside, and began packing his things without saying a word.
The old village chief could only sigh wistfully.
What difference did it make whether he had a father like that or not?
New Year.
Finally, the snow stopped, the sun shone brightly, and the flowers fluttered in the breeze.
The little golden retriever, who had spent a week in the Star Dou Great Forest, finally returned.
Looking at her boastful, arrogant, and haughty expression, Jiang Nian knew she must be very satisfied with this spirit ring.
"Little Jiang, Yue'er, this is a ten-thousand-year spirit ring! Isn't it awesome?"
The two looked at the black spirit ring at Qian Renxue's feet and couldn't help but gasp.
Then, they showered her with praise, envy, and admiration, making her smile even more.
"Oh~ Yue'er, you'll have one too someday."
Qian Renxue ruffled her little head, saying happily.
"Mmm!" The twin-tailed girl excitedly waved her little fists, seemingly already looking forward to it.
"Little Jiang, I reckon in another six months or so, you'll be a Soul Master too."
"Sigh~ It's all thanks to the medicinal herbs you found."
Qian Renxue licked her lips, a hint of longing in her eyes.
Regardless of their medicinal effects, they certainly tasted good.
"My things only slightly increased your speed."
"What truly determined your breakthrough was your own diligent cultivation."
The little golden retriever was a bit embarrassed by the praise.
She scratched her head sheepishly.
In terms of effort, she was no match for Jiang Nian.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have been caught up so quickly.
"Alright, let's go see your herb garden."
"I wonder when Elder Ju will return, and whether she and Xiaobai have found any rare herbs yet."
Qian Renxue rubbed her stomach; she was also eager to try the "immortal herb" Jiang Nian had mentioned and see what its effects were.
Since its name includes "immortal," it must be delicious, right?
Star Dou Great Forest.
A little white mouse excitedly ran towards the ethereal waterfall before it.
Behind it, Yue Guan's fingers trembled slightly; his inner joy was beyond words.
"Old Ghost, let's follow!"
A short while later.
Hidden beneath the waterfall was a cave.
Upon entering, the rich aroma of herbs filled the air.
Half a minute later.
Xiaobai hopped and jumped around next to a three-centimeter-long medicinal herb, its movements animated. If it could speak, it would probably be reciting classical Chinese poetry by now.
Yue Guan, trembling, walked to the herb, squatted down, his eyes filled with undisguised affection.
"This... could this be the legendary Heavenly Dew Tower?"
"What a pity... it's not the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum..."
Gui Mei patted his shoulder, comforting him, "Old Chrysanthemum, although it's not your Martial Soul Immortal Herb... it still seems quite extraordinary..."
Yue Guan suppressed his disappointment, his eyes practically radiating excitement: "That's right, this Heavenly Dew Tower is also a celestial herb, said to have the effects of nourishing the soul, strengthening the body, and calming the mind..."
"Even a vegetable can recover to its normal state."
"Even without taking it, just having it nearby can enlighten the mind."
"Unfortunately, this immortal herb isn't mature yet..."
Yue Guan grabbed Xiao Bai's bouncy body and placed it beside him.
"We'll give this to Xiao Nian when we get back."
"Now let's get it out quickly."
With that, he carefully dug into the soil with his hands, being extremely cautious with every step, not even allowing Xiao Bai to participate.
It's important to know that damaging the roots of this immortal herb will cause it to lose its medicinal properties.
It had to be done little by little.
Fifteen minutes later, Yue Guan's forehead was covered in a fine sheen of sweat.
He carefully held the immortal herb, as if it were his own child.
After storing it in his storage soul tool, he felt the world had opened up considerably.
He had found the Heavenly Dew Tower.
So his own Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum didn't seem so far away after all.
"Little White, you've done your master and me a huge favor."
"After we get back, I'll find a way to help you break through to the ten-thousand-year level, and then further your perception of rare and precious herbs."
"Then, you'll be a hero of the Spirit Hall!"
Little White, perched on Yue Guan's shoulder, beamed with pride, patting its chest as if to say, "I'll take care of this."
The Ghostly Demon couldn't help but admire Little White's intelligence.
If it was like this for a thousand years, what about ten thousand years, or a hundred thousand years?
It had certainly found a good master.
"Alright, dig up this soil too, and take some water with you."
"Let's prepare to return to the Spirit Hall."
They got right to work.
Yue Guan pulled out a shovel, rolled up his sleeves, and started digging.
The fact that this place could produce immortal herbs meant the soil was extraordinary; he'd take it all!
After working for half an hour, the two of them and the rat flew towards the Spirit Hall with smiles on their faces.
This trip had not only completed the task assigned by Bibi Dong, but they had also harvested a considerable amount of spiritual herbs and rare flowers.
It was a huge profit!
It was a pity that they couldn't stay outside for too long; he really wanted to continue exploring.
"Xiao Nian will be very surprised when he sees this, right?"
