Chapter 185 - The Red of Broken-Hearted Love

"Aromatic Silk Beauty, the nemesis of all poisons, has the effect of neutralizing all toxins. It doesn't have the ability to detoxify itself, but it can counteract poisons…"

The introduction was very detailed, and there were illustrations after the text. Huo Yuhhao compared the picture with the pink flower in front of him. Well, you couldn't say they were similar, you could only say they were exactly the same.

"Nine Rank Dragon Fungus, a treasure of heaven and earth, is nurtured by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and needs to absorb…"

"Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew, eating it can cultivate fiery golden eyes, allowing you to see through all kinds of strange objects…"

Huo Yuhhao's eyes lit up when he saw this. This celestial herb was perfect for a spirit master like him, who specialized in the mental arts. So he pointed at the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew on the illustrated book and instructed the Aromatic Silk Beauty, "Bring this to me."

Although the Aromatic Silk Beauty was unwilling, it chose to yield to Huo Yuhhao's intimidation. A ray of pink light swept out from the flower bud and drifted away.

Before long, the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew was brought to Huo Yuhhao. Looking closely, it was an inconspicuous herb. The herb was entirely green, and what was strange was that in the center of the herb, there were three snow-white leaves, and in the center of the leaves, there were a few drops of water, like morning dew.

Without directly absorbing it, Huo Yuhhao put it into his Purple Chain and continued to look through the celestial herb catalog.

"Lovesickness Severing Intestines Red, the king of flowers, can bring the dead back to life and regenerate flesh and bones. It has the miraculous effect of bringing the dead back to life…"

"Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, a neutral celestial herb. Consuming it will circulate energy through the limbs and blood through the eight meridians, cultivating an invulnerable body."

"Bring that one over for me, and this one, and this one." Huo Yuhhao held the book in his hand, constantly pointing at it. Under his instructions, Aromatic Silk Beauty dug up various celestial herbs one by one. For a moment, it felt like he was ordering from a menu in a hotel.

Aromatic Silk Beauty cursed inwardly, this guy is treating me like a waiter!

In the end, Huo Yuhhao obtained a total of eight celestial herbs: Lovesickness Severing Intestines Red, Eight Petal Mystic Orchid, Cockscomb Phoenix Mallow, Narcissus Jade Skin Bone, Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng, Seven Colored Exquisite Stamen, Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew, and Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum.

During this time, the various soul beast spirits repeatedly emphasized that Huo Yuhhao was breaking the rules, stating that he could only take a maximum of seven celestial herbs. Huo Yuhhao wasn't unreasonable. After a lengthy discussion with the celestial herbs, he reasoned that he would take seven herbs and Tang Ya would take seven, so there was no problem.

However, the few soul beasts did not agree with Huo Yuhhao's explanation and strongly condemned him. Honest Huo Yuhhao was annoyed by these persistent fellows. Finally, he directly took out an eighth-rank fixed-mounted soul tool and declared that he would reason with them using cannonballs.

Thus, under the intimidation of the soul tool, the soul beasts shut their mouths, tearfully watching the two bandits doing as they pleased in their territory.

However, Huo Yuhhao didn't go too far. After all the immortal herbs had been harvested, he swept through the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well one more time, gathering the remaining six medicinal herbs.

Heavenly Punishment Mushroom, Cold Spirit Nether Algae, Vermilion Blood Bodhi, Crimson Flame Vine, Dragon Image Essence, and Marrow Cultivating Spirit Saliva. Though not considered immortal herbs, they were still top-tier within the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well.

After ordering the dishes, no, after harvesting the immortal herbs, Huo Yuhhao gave the book to Tang Ya. He wasn't interested in the Tang Sect's obscure knowledge and didn't have time to study it. However, Tang Ya treasured it, insisting on copying it down.

The sky had completely darkened. Not far from the bank of the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well, Tang Ya was writing furiously under the illumination of a Night-Illuminating Pearl. The soft moonlight shone on the girl, as if draping her in a veil.

Beside her, Huo Yuhhao sat on the ground, one hand propping up his chin, quietly enjoying the rare beauty of the scene.

After a while, Tang Ya finally finished copying the information from the book. She contentedly put the copy into her soul tool. Only then did Tang Ya realize that she had been too engrossed, and five hours had passed without her noticing.

Looking up, Tang Ya couldn't help but be slightly stunned. It was the early hours of the morning, and normally, it should have been pitch black. But it was different here. The ice spring and the hot spring each reflected milky white and vermilion light under the moonlight. Coupled with the various medicinal herbs around, emitting a colorful glow, this place was adorned like a paradise on earth.

Tang Ya gazed at the beautiful scenery before her, momentarily lost in it, and at that moment, she felt an unprecedented sense of peace.

Turning her head, she could see the boy beside her, his hand supporting his chin, his eyes fixed forward, lost in thought.

"Yuhhao, let me take the watch. You go and rest for a while."

Hearing this, Huo Yuhhao slightly recovered, but he had no intention of resting. He hadn't forgotten that a group of Soul Beasts were eyeing them.

After thinking for a moment, Huo Yuhhao casually flipped his hand and produced a type of Aromatic Silk Beauty from his Purple Chain, handing it to Tang Ya.

This was a seemingly ordinary white flower. The flower was about the size of an adult's palm, shaped like a peony. It had only the flower itself, without any leaves. Connected to the stem was a large stone, which was completely black. On the white flower, there were several striking patches of red, as crimson as blood, giving it a somewhat shocking appearance.

"This is... Lovesickness Severing Intestines Red?" Tang Ya spoke its name after clearly seeing the Aromatic Silk Beauty in Huo Yuhhao's hand.

Lovesickness Severing Intestines Red had a tragic story. Legend had it that long ago, there was a young man who was gentle by nature. He loved tending to flowers and plants the most, with a garden full of green lotuses and roots, as well as a myriad of purples and reds. He would recite poems to the flowers and invite the moon with his cup. Whenever a flower fell, he would be infinitely sad, inevitably gathering the petals, burying them, and weeping repeatedly. As the saying goes, love moves heaven and earth. His love for flowers moved the flower fairies in the heavens. They secretly descended to the mortal world and married him, and their joy was beyond words.

But who would have known that good times wouldn't last? The gods, upon learning of this, were greatly angered. They decreed that immortals and mortals could not be together and ordered the flower fairy to return to the divine realm. Since losing his beloved, the young man sighed day and night, feeling depressed and unhappy. He abandoned his flower-related activities, and the walls collapsed, the fences fell, the flowers and trees withered, and the garden was desolate. One day, an old man with white hair came and told him that the white peony flower he loved in the garden was the incarnation of his beloved wife. He only needed to destroy the flower, and the flower fairy would lose her immortal body and descend to the mortal world to reunite with him as husband and wife, but he must never abandon the flower-related activities. After saying this, he turned into a gust of wind and left. The young man suddenly realized, deeply regretting his neglect of the flowers, and carefully cared for the flowers and plants. Although he loved his wife, he was unwilling to burn the peony flower. He cherished it even more, weeping over the flower day and night, his tears dried, his heart broken, and he died of Lovesickness Severing Intestines Red. At the time of his death, he dripped his blood on the petals.

The requirements for picking Lovesickness Severing Intestines Red were quite strict. One must be thinking of their beloved, with sincerity and devotion, and drop a drop of blood on the petals. If there was the slightest wavering of the mind, even if one vomited blood and died, they wouldn't be able to pick the flower. The stone under the flower was called Black Absolute. If it was forcibly destroyed, this Lovesickness Severing Intestines Red would also lose all its medicinal properties.

Thinking about this story, a picture formed in Huo Yuhhao's mind. In the picture, a young man was kneeling in the garden, weeping uncontrollably, crying his heart out, his heart breaking.

In the end, he cried himself away.

He didn't have to live, just spent his days cultivating flowers. Didn't have to eat or drink, relying on photosynthesis to fill his stomach? Or perhaps he was a freeloader, or his family had a mine?

It felt a bit... ridiculous. Huo Yuhhao couldn't help but laugh. He usually didn't laugh unless he couldn't help it.

"Sister Ya, the Lovesickness Severing Intestines Red is a supreme celestial item. I don't need to explain its effects. Try it, if you can make it recognize you as its master, the benefits it brings will surely be no less than those of any other celestial herb."

Tang Ya didn't decline. Her talent was too poor, and she had to seize every opportunity to become stronger. She took the Lovesickness Severing Intestines Red and looked at the crimson petals. The tragic story couldn't help but move her.
