"Understood."
Dugu Bo nodded after listening to Yun Chuan's explanation. Then, he carefully closed the jade box as if it were a priceless treasure and stored it in his soul tool. Next, he opened the jade box belonging to his granddaughter. Inside was a milky-white ginseng.
This ginseng was different from ordinary ginseng; it wasn't dry and withered. Instead, its shape resembled a baby less than a year old, round and chubby, its limbs curled up, as if peacefully asleep in the womb… This little chubby creature had a branch growing from its head, with seven deep blue leaves on it, looking incredibly cute. It also emitted an extremely alluring fragrance.
"Seven-Day Seven-Leaf Snow King Ginseng, a powerful tonic! Consuming it can strengthen the body's foundation, improve physical strength and physique, and absolutely help your granddaughter's martial soul evolve into the Azure Phosphorous Serpent Emperor!" Yun Chuan paused, waiting for Dugu Bo's gaze to shift from the immortal herb before continuing, "Don't be fooled by its harmless and alluring appearance. This immortal herb is different from ordinary ginseng; its true essence lies in its seven leaves. Eating ginseng directly contains extremely terrifying cold poison! Taking it rashly will absolutely kill you on the spot!"
Seeing Dugu Bo's insistence... Before he could even put them away, Yun Chuan quickly added, "Furthermore, there's a specific way to eat these seven leaves. They can't be eaten directly after picking them; they must be harvested over seven days. One leaf must be picked precisely at midnight each night. The seven leaves are harvested over seven nights. On the seventh night, with the last leaf picked, the leaves harvested over seven days are taken out and placed next to the ginseng. The leaves will then spontaneously absorb the ginseng's power until the ginseng completely withers. Only then can these seven ginseng leaves be consumed."
"The harvesting method is so strange?!" Dugu Bo was stunned, feeling his eyes widen in astonishment. He never imagined that this seemingly simple ginseng would be so complicated to harvest. What was even more baffling was that only the seven leaves were actually edible. The ginseng itself, on the other hand, was poisonous.
And the most outrageous thing is that the seven leaves must be picked over seven days, and they must be picked at a fixed time every night. And after picking them, they can't be eaten immediately…
With so many strange rules, if he had to figure out the proper way to eat them, he probably wouldn't be able to in his entire life.
"I haven't finished yet," Yun Chuan rolled his eyes and continued, "After picking the seven leaves, the timing and quantity of consumption are also important. They must be taken at midday, when the sunlight is strongest. And only one leaf can be taken at a time, held in the mouth, allowed to dissolve naturally with saliva, and then slowly swallowed… The seven leaves must be consumed over seven days. That's why this immortal herb is named Seven-Day Seven-Leaf Snow King Ginseng."
To be honest, when he first learned about the many taboos and effects of consuming immortal herbs, Yun Chuan was also bewildered. But what intrigued him most was that since there were so many precautions to take when consuming immortal herbs, how did the person who initially compiled this knowledge about immortal herbs know how to consume them? Could it be that they experimented repeatedly? That seemed impossible.
If that were truly the case, how many experiments would it take, how many lives would be sacrificed, to summarize the methods of consuming so many strange and wonderful immortal herbs?
After telling Dugu Bo about the methods of consuming the immortal herbs and their taboos, it was clear that he couldn't wait to consume them. So Yun Chuan simply took his leave, since he had already achieved his goal for this trip. He had even exceeded his target, making it a very fruitful trip!
...
Yun Chuan, holding one of the little dragon girls in each hand, led them out of the poisonous miasma surrounding the valley of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.
As soon as they were outside, the two little ones were very excited, jumping and skipping around. If Yun Chuan hadn't been holding their hands, they probably would have already darted into the bushes and disappeared.
"No, I can't just take these two little ones back like this." Just as Yun Chuan was about to pick up the two little ones in his arms and transform into a beam of light to soar into the sky, he suddenly realized that the identities of these two little ones were a small but significant problem.
Although these two little ones perfectly inherited the bloodline of the ancient Ice and Fire Dragon King, they could be considered the resurrected Ice and Fire Dragon King, natural-born divine beasts! Just like the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent, a primordial beast that Tang San killed in the City of Slaughter in the original novel, these are ancient creatures. They existed before the rules of spirit rings existed in this world, and are not spirit beasts, so even if they are killed, they will not have spirit rings.
But he knew this, while others did not.
Once these two little guys are brought back, given their extraordinary aura, they will likely be mistaken by others as 100,000-year-old spirit beasts that have taken human form and are undergoing a rebirth. At that time, there will definitely be no shortage of spirit masters who will come seeking to kill these two little guys and obtain 100,000-year spirit rings and spirit bones.
Therefore, when bringing these two little guys back, he must find a way to hide their aura and conceal their non-human aura. Otherwise, there will definitely be a lot of trouble.
"Is there any way to hide their non-human aura?" Yun Chuan frowned and began to think, and soon his eyes lit up. He had it!
Coincidentally, among the many herbs he had obtained during his trip to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, there happened to be one that could help with the current situation.
Yun Chuan took out a jade box and opened it. Inside lay two pure white lotus flowers, their roots intertwined. This herb was called Twin Lotus, not a celestial herb, but still quite extraordinary.
He bit his fingertip and dripped a drop of blood onto the center of each lotus flower.
The blood was quickly absorbed by the two flowers.
"Hmm, that's enough,"
Yun Chuan nodded, then handed the two lotus flowers to the two little dragon girls, coaxing, "Good girls, Daddy will give you some delicious things."
The two little dragon girls took the lotus flowers, holding them in their small hands, and gently sniffed them, feeling a sweet fragrance waft towards them. It seemed to contain a familiar scent?
Ah, that's right! It's Daddy's scent!
Without hesitation, the two little dragon girls opened their mouths and gently bit into the lotus flowers, which melted in their mouths. They tasted sweet and delicious. In just a few bites, the two little ones had eaten the lotus flowers.
After finishing, the two little ones looked at Yun Chuan longingly. His face practically screamed: "Daddy, I want more!"
"Sweethearts, I'll buy you yummy treats when we get back to the city." Yun Chuan gently ruffled the two little ones' heads, feeling their auras gradually change and slowly approach him... soon their auras became very similar to his own. Oh no! Anyone familiar with them would definitely mistake these two little ones for blood relatives.
Seeing this, Yun Chuan inwardly cried out in dismay!
He was doomed; he had forgotten about this.
Now, even if he said these two little ones weren't his daughters, probably no one would believe him.
A miscalculation, a complete miscalculation!
