"Wow!"
According to the book's instructions, she circulated her internal soul power, urging her Blood Essence, and spat a mouthful of blood onto the petals.
Tang Ya then closed her eyes, concentrating, and recalled the moments she had shared with Beibei.
"Hello, junior. My name is Beibei, the Bei from 'precious treasure'. You can call me senior, or just call me by my name."
"Student Beibei greets Teacher Ya."
"I promised to help you realize your dream, and I will definitely do it."
Thinking of the happy times, Tang Ya's expression was peaceful, the corners of her mouth lifting into a beautiful curve. However, memories were not always perfect. The scene in her mind shifted.
"Ya, the academy also has its difficulties. The academy is essentially a place to teach and nurture talent. If the academy interferes in the conflicts between external forces, what will the empire think? What will the soul masters of the continent think?"
"Ya, what's in the past is in the past. Even if you succeed in your revenge, what will it change? Your aunt and uncle can't be brought back to life. Why not try to let go? Why don't we work together to strengthen the sect and let the Tang Sect regain its former glory?"
"Tang Ya, how can you be so unreasonable? If the collective doesn't survive, how can the individual? You know that…"
The Heartbroken Acacia swayed gently, but that was all. The white flower showed no sign of detaching from the Black Jade Stone, and even the blood on the petals dripped onto the ground.
"Sister Ya, you're actually quite good the way you are now. Kindness and purity are certainly valuable, but I'd rather Sister Ya be safe and sound, and not be hurt by anyone."
Her beautiful eyes widened slightly, and a look of disappointment flashed in them. Tang Ya knew clearly that she had failed. The Heartbroken Acacia was born for its beloved and died for its beloved. Her relationship with Beibei wasn't even like that of lovers; it was more like that of confidantes, good friends.
Friendship above, lovers not yet. In two words: ambiguous.
"Heartbreak severs the intestines. Although the red flower is alluring, no one appreciates it. The ultimate love, Heartbroken Acacia, how could I be worthy of such a celestial herb? Take it back, Yuhao." Tang Ya looked at the large flower in her hand with a complicated expression and returned it to Huo Yuhao.
According to the ratio agreed upon by the two of them, Tang Ya calculated that she could only obtain three of the celestial herbs. Although the Heartbroken Acacia was precious and rare, it was useless if it couldn't be acknowledged as its master. It would be better to return it to Huo Yuhao, so he wouldn't waste a spot.
Huo Yuhao nodded slightly. He planned to have Ye Lingling try it when he got back, but deep down, Huo Yuhao wasn't very hopeful. As for himself, forget about it, he knew his limitations.
Huo Yuhao put away the Heartbroken Acacia, then took out the remaining seven immortal herbs and six secondary-grade medicinal herbs.
Thirteen precious herbs lay before them. Each vibrantly colored herb emitted a strange, precious light. Simultaneously, the surrounding temperature was instantly affected by their appearance. The primary culprits were two secondary immortal herbs: the Crimson Blood Bodhi, which grew in a spring of warmth, and the Icy Spirit Nether Grass, which came from a spring of ice.
These two herbs were of extremely high grade. Among the immortal herbs of similar properties, only the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the Infernal Delicate Apricot could surpass them. This demonstrated the extraordinary nature of these two herbs. Even though they had been harvested, they still released intense heat and cold upon their appearance. The two opposing energies did not yield to each other, yet neither could gain the upper hand.
However, Huo Yuhao quickly took out another herb from the array. It was an enormous chrysanthemum, a magnificent purple in color. Each fluffy petal was exceptionally adorable. The entire flower was a seamless whole, yet it emitted no fragrance. The central stamen stood half a foot taller than the petals, and the tip of the stamen shimmered with a faint golden glow.
This flower was called the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, a neutral immortal herb. Consuming it would circulate Blood Essence through the limbs and eight meridians, forging an invulnerable body. Huo Yuhao intended to take it back for his Master. The invulnerable body, coupled with his Master's martial soul, would be a perfect match, perhaps even allowing his Master to break through to level ninety-nine.
"Sister Tang Ya, according to our agreement, you can take three immortal herbs, and you can also choose two other herbs."
"However, you can only choose one between the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew and the Colorful Exquisite Stamen."
These two immortal herbs had the same effect, both able to significantly increase mental power. Tang Ya practiced the Purple Demon Eyes, a technique of the Tang Sect that trained the eyes, so increasing mental power was of utmost importance. Huo Yuhao didn't need to mention it; his Spiritual Eyes was a pure mental-type martial soul. The Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew was essential in his plan, but fortunately, he had discovered the Colorful Exquisite Stamen, which had the same effect, so they didn't need to struggle over the allocation.
Tang Ya gritted her teeth, her face showing a difficult expression. It wasn't that she was dissatisfied with Huo Yuhao's distribution, but that she hadn't played any role throughout the journey, being carried the entire time. How could she be comfortable sharing the immortal herbs?
Instinctively, she wanted to refuse, but Tang Ya knew how much she needed the immortal herbs and found it hard to make a decision.
Huo Yuhao saw Tang Ya's expression, which reminded him of children on Blue Star during the New Year, who, despite being overjoyed to receive lucky money, had been taught to be humble and polite.
"Sister Ya, there's no need to say more. This was agreed upon beforehand. You took a great risk coming here with me. Besides, you don't want me to break my promise, do you?"
At this moment, Huo Yuhao's mood was inexplicably complex. What was this situation? If it weren't for his previous promise, he wouldn't have wanted to give away so many immortal herbs.
Tang Ya nodded slightly and didn't offer any thanks. It wasn't that she didn't know how to be grateful, but the kindness was too great, and mere words of thanks felt empty and powerless.
"Sister Ya, once you've made your choice, absorb and merge it as soon as possible. Your soul power should be at level thirty-six now. It shouldn't be difficult to increase your soul power by four levels after consuming the immortal herbs. We can also find your fourth soul ring this time."
"Yuhao..." Tang Ya stared at Huo Yuhao, lost in thought, her voice choked with emotion, she hadn't expected Huo Yuhao to consider her so much.
Hmm?
Sensing something unusual, Huo Yuhao turned his head to look at Tang Ya, only to see that her eyes were slightly red, and her gratitude was evident. Seeing this, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but laugh, realizing that this woman was still lacking affection.
After careful consideration, Tang Ya ultimately consumed the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng and the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew. The Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew was, of course, a perfect match for her Purple Demon Eyes.
As for why she chose the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng, the truth was that she didn't have many other options. The Eight Petal Immortal Orchid had the gentlest and richest medicinal properties, making it easy to absorb. It could solidify the foundation, nourish the roots, and eliminate impurities within the body, effectively enhancing cultivation. However, its overall effects were only average, and it didn't suit Tang Ya. What Tang Ya wanted was a treasure that could enhance her martial soul. Normally, she would have been overjoyed to obtain such a treasure, but wasn't there now a wider selection? Therefore, Tang Ya had rejected the Eight Petal Immortal Orchid.
The Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower was a purely yang, highly nourishing item, and was immediately dismissed.
That left only the Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone and the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng as options. The Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone could significantly increase soul power. Zhu Zhuqing from the original Shrek Seven Devils had consumed a similar immortal herb ten thousand years ago, which caused her soul power to increase by seven ranks.
However, this wasn't necessarily a good thing. Because the soul power increased so much, it meant that most of the immortal herb's medicinal effects were used to enhance soul power. But even immortal herb energy was limited, and in this situation, the enhancement of the martial soul, and other aspects, couldn't be guaranteed.
