In the Black World, on the way to the Sunset Forest.
Seeing the Grand Elder's face full of smiles on the heavenly curtain and Yu Yuanzhen's heartfelt joy, the group from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect felt somewhat uncomfortable.
Especially the Grand Elder and Yu Yuanzhen.
The current Grand Elder is still Rank 88.
For these thirty-odd years, his Rank has remained unchanged; his talent has reached its limit.
Yet now, he saw his parallel world self from thirty years ago on the heavenly curtain breaking through to Rank 90.
How could this allow him to remain calm?
"Sect Master, perhaps we should change our goal?"
The Second Elder on the side withdrew his gaze from the heavenly curtain, thought for a moment, and finally spoke.
Everyone turned their gaze toward him, waiting for his analysis.
"As for Spirit Bones—Dugu Bo must have them in his hands by now, and our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect alone cannot swallow so many Spirit Bones."
"The Spirit Hall, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and even the secluded Clear Sky Sect..."
"All the major powers will come to snatch these Spirit Bones. If anyone dares to keep them for themselves, they will surely face a siege from everyone."
Yu Yuanzhen and the others nodded; this was why they had set their targets very low.
In today's Douluo Continent, perhaps no power except the Spirit Hall can bear the consequences of being besieged by all other forces.
"But those immortal grade herbs are different."
The Second Elder looked at the immortal grade herbs on the heavenly curtain, a thirst welling up in his eyes.
"Those immortal grade herbs, once consumed, are gone. Even if they kill us afterward, those immortal grade herbs won't drop like Spirit Bones."
"Spirit Bones can be passed down forever, but an immortal grade herb can only make one person stronger."
"Therefore, the value of immortal grade herbs is destined to be lower than that of Spirit Bones."
"In this case, the competition for immortal grade herbs might not be too intense."
"By comparison, turning to compete for immortal grade herbs might be a better choice."
"Especially for you, Sect Master and Grand Elder."
Saying this, the Second Elder looked at Yu Yuanzhen.
"The heavenly curtain has already proven that the Grand Elder can immediately break through to Rank 90 after consuming an immortal grade herb, and the heavenly curtain has also told us which herb is most suitable for you, Sect Master."
"So compared to fighting for Spirit Bones, I am now more inclined to fight for these immortal grade herbs."
Hearing the Second Elder's words, Yu Yuanzhen and the others fell into deep thought.
One point the Second Elder made was very correct: once an immortal grade herb is consumed, it can only strengthen one person and cannot be passed down forever.
Whether to be strong for one generation or strong for generations—for those from major powers, it didn't seem like a difficult choice.
This resulted in the competition for Spirit Bones being far more intense than for immortal grade herbs.
"Then we'll go to the place with the immortal grade herbs first. If we can successfully obtain them, then we'll consider the Spirit Bones!"
Finally, Yu Yuanzhen made the final decision.
Of course, what mainly led Yu Yuanzhen to this decision was that Yu Xiaogang on the heavenly curtain had recommended that mysterious thunder vajra grass to his father—his parallel world self.
Looking at all the choices Yu Xiaogang had made on the heavenly curtain from the beginning until now, he had almost never been wrong.
So the current Yu Yuanzhen also somewhat believed his parallel world self's judgment: that Yu Xiaogang's Luck was extraordinary.
And could an immortal grade herb recommended by a person with extraordinary Luck to his father be anything bad?
Following his parallel world self's lead is definitely the right move!
Meanwhile, on the other side, the group from Shrek Academy.
"Lit... Little San, that Nine-Grade Purple Ganoderma..."
Yu Xiaogang watched the Grand Elder on the heavenly curtain break through his Bottleneck and reach Rank 90, and he couldn't help but swallow hard.
Coming from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, how could he not know the Grand Elder's situation?
The other man was just like him, stuck at a certain Rank and unable to progress.
In fact, the other man had been stuck even longer than he had.
Yet now, the other man had broken through because of an immortal grade herb.
Did that prove that if he consumed that Nine-Grade Purple Ganoderma, he could also break through his current Rank like the Grand Elder?
"Teacher, that Nine-Grade Purple Ganoderma is an immortal grade herb that solidifies the foundation and nurtures the essence; it replenishes Qi and increases power, stabilizes spirit power, and raises the cultivation limit."
"It is indeed the most suitable immortal grade herb for you."
"If you could consume it, breaking through your current Rank would definitely be no problem!"
Tang San said with great certainty, seeing the look in his teacher's eyes.
"Nine-Grade Purple Ganoderma, the Nine-Grade Purple Ganoderma that can help me break through..."
Hearing Tang San's words, Yu Xiaogang clenched his fists, an endless thirst welling up in his eyes.
He had now thoroughly understood Luo Sanpao's specific situation through his parallel world self.
At this time, if he could break through Rank 30 and have the chance to add another spirit ring for himself, he would definitely choose a Dragon-type Spirit Beast, just like his parallel world self on the heavenly curtain.
No, he would also consume ten-thousand-year whale glue to obtain a spirit ring with an age far exceeding the conventional spirit ring age limit.
In that case, would his stagnant cultivation be able to move forward once again?
When that time came, he would choose even better spirit rings for himself than his parallel world self, surpassing him.
Then, he could prove himself and let everyone know that what his parallel world self could do, he could do as well—and even better!
The more he thought about it, the more excited Yu Xiaogang became, even fantasizing in his mind about surpassing the parallel world Yu Xiaogang and shocking everyone.
"Yes, that's right, that's it. As long as I can get the Nine-Grade Purple Ganoderma, I can reverse everything!"
Yu Xiaogang's heart grew increasingly excited.
However, how to obtain the Nine-Grade Purple Ganoderma was another matter.
Relying on his current connections?
Flender and Zhao Wuji were impossible; they didn't have the strength.
His father, Yu Yuanzhen?
Thinking of Yu Yuanzhen's care and love for Yu Xiaogang on the heavenly curtain, Yu Xiaogang felt he might be able to try.
But just as he was about to take things out of his storage soul tool to write a letter, he suddenly had a thought.
That Nine-Grade Purple Ganoderma was also useful to the Grand Elder. What if the Grand Elder and the others were unwilling to give it to him?
No, it wasn't that they were unwilling; they definitely wouldn't give it to him.
Given the Grand Elder's attitude toward him, it was impossible for them to give it to him.
So, who else could he rely on?
Names of people he knew flashed through Yu Xiaogang's mind. Finally, a figure appeared.
Bibi Dong!
Now, it seemed only Bibi Dong could help him.
After all, Bibi Dong's word was law in the Spirit Hall, and both Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo were loyal to her.
As long as Bibi Dong was willing, he would surely be able to obtain an immortal grade herb.
But after he had left Spirit City so resolutely and abandoned Bibi Dong all those years ago, would she still love him as she once did?
Yu Xiaogang hesitated for a few seconds, but soon, his thirst to improve his strength, prove himself, and surpass the parallel world Yu Xiaogang crushed that hesitation into fragments.
Regardless of what Bibi Dong thought, he had to achieve his goal.
If he could make Bibi Dong love him to death back then, he could do the same now!
So Yu Xiaogang took out some letter paper and began to write to Bibi Dong.
"Dong'er, it's been a long time..."
Before long, a letter filled with nostalgic emotions and mentioning his needs at the end was completed.
After thinking about it, Yu Xiaogang also wrote a letter to his father.
Whether the Sect was willing or not, there would be no loss in trying.
