Jiang Yunzhou smiled, and incidentally, flicked her nose: "I want you to pick it."
"This flower has sentience; it cannot be forcefully picked, otherwise, it will wither immediately and lose its medicinal properties."
"When picking, one must be sincere and drop a drop of blood onto its pistil."
He continued with a smile in his voice: "When picking, you must think of the person you love most. If it recognizes you, you can successfully pick it... Did you remember?"
Xiao Wu blinked her big eyes, as if she only heard the last sentence: 'You must think of the person you love.'
Her heart suddenly pounded: So magical? But isn't this the best opportunity to express her feelings to her teacher?
"Teacher, watch me pick it... for you to make wine!"
She was very clear about her feelings; she had long been deeply entangled and unable to extricate herself.
At this moment, without any hesitation, she quickly walked to the flower and squatted down, bit her fingertip, and a drop of bright red blood accurately fell into the pistil.
She took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and her mind was filled with Jiang Yunzhou's image.
She silently recited in her heart: The person my heart yearns for is named Jiang Yunzhou. I want to be with him always, always... At this moment, Xiao Wu's gaze was full of affection, and her intentions were sincere.
The xiangsi duan changhong seemed to have felt her emotions; the fresh blood quickly merged into the pistil, and then a faint white light appeared.
She felt something, as if a subtle connection had been established with this flower.
She reached out and gently grasped the flower stem, and with a slight pull, the entire flower safely fell into her hand, without the slightest sign of wilting.
She was overjoyed; she had really succeeded!
Looking at the Immortal Herb in her hand, Xiao Wu's nose tingled slightly: So she... really, really liked her teacher.
Jiang Yunzhou watched the whole process. Seeing her successfully pick the flower, a smile also appeared on his face. Xiao Wu really didn't disappoint him.
She looked over with bright, shining eyes, held up the Immortal Herb, her voice light and unable to hide her shyness:
"Teacher, I've picked it... Do you know? Just now, all I thought about was you."
This was like a confession that only they understood.
Jiang Yunzhou smiled slightly, nodded, and said: "I saw it, very good. Since you can pick it, it means it belongs to you. Now you can eat it."
Xiao Wu was stunned: "Eat, eat it?"
This plot isn't right! Shouldn't she give the flower to her teacher, and then they embrace and kiss, sealing their love?
"Teacher, such a beautiful flower... I, I can't bear to eat it. How about we use it to make soup? We can both nourish ourselves?"
Jiang Yunzhou rolled his eyes, pinched her face, and said: "If you don't eat it now, the medicinal properties will all be gone! Hurry up, I guarantee you'll gain at least five or six levels after eating it..."
This xiangsi duan changhong is the king of flowers; it can not only greatly increase spirit power but also has the effects of protecting the soul from perishing and bringing the dead back to life.
Although he wasn't clear about the specific rate of medicinal power loss, he just wanted her to eat it quickly.
Once she ate it, she could quickly reach level forty, and he was waiting to see her spirit ring turn from purple to black!
As for the other effects of this Immortal Herb, he didn't care too much.
As long as Xiao Wu cultivated the Taiyin Jade Rabbit Scripture to its peak, she would inherently be able to regenerate from a drop of blood.
However, cultivating immortal dao techniques takes hundreds or thousands of years, so it's still early. For now, an extra layer of protection is also quite good.
Xiao Wu was anxious when she heard this: Level up five or six levels?
If it was true, then this opportunity was second only to the fortune her teacher gave her when he took her as a disciple. She couldn't waste it just because she wanted soup!
"Okay, Teacher, I'll eat it now. Do I swallow it directly?"
"Uh, if you don't mind, you can chew it before swallowing."
"Hehe~ Teacher, you're so annoying"
Before she finished speaking, she had already sat down cross-legged and began to seriously consume the Immortal Herb.
Watching Xiao Wu begin to consume the Immortal Herb.
Jiang Yunzhou suddenly thought of something and started talking to the system in his mind.
"System, can everyone really only consume one Immortal Herb?" Jiang Yunzhou silently asked in his heart.
Host, if the compatibilities are different, multiple can be consumed together. The combination method: Immortal Herbs of spirit power, physique, and mental force attributes can be consumed simultaneously in multiple varieties...
After the system's explanation, Jiang Yunzhou finally understood roughly.
It turned out that Immortal Herbs contained extremely vast energy.
However, the attributes of various Immortal Herbs differed, and some even counteracted each other.
If they were the same, consuming more would be useless.
If they counteracted each other, and one forcefully consumed them simultaneously, the vast energies would clash and repel each other, making harmonious coexistence impossible.
This was like stuffing a large block of ice and a ball of fire into a single container at the same time. The likely result would be that the body couldn't withstand the immense energy, leading to damage to the meridians, and possibly even an explosion of the body due to the massive medicinal impact.
Of course, if you are powerful enough to endure the entire process and make the two energies coexist peacefully... then disregard what I just said.
But if one consumed three Immortal Herbs with different effects and no conflicts, such problems would usually not arise.
"I understand." Jiang Yunzhou nodded in realization.
Of course, what the system said were general situations; there were also some special cases.
For example, he now noticed the two Immortal Herbs with opposing attributes in the center of the spring eye; wasn't their method of consumption to be taken simultaneously?
Using the principle of mutual opposition to neutralize each other's domineering medicinal power and reduce the impact on the body.
However, the consumption process was also a bit dangerous. If you survived, congratulations. If you didn't, then you're dead.
Host, it is recommended that you refine these Immortal Herbs into pills before consuming them...
"Oh? Tell me more..." The system shouldn't speak without reason, Jiang Yunzhou suddenly became interested.
For example, the two Immortal Herbs in the spring eye can be used as main ingredients to refine the 'Two Extremes Body Tempering Pill'. Not only can it retain its original efficacy, but its age is sufficient. If this system takes action, there will be no loss of medicinal properties, and the number of pills formed will be quite considerable. You can not only consume them yourself but also let others consume the excess...
"Oh? There's such a good thing? System, you're not trying to trick me out of my Immortal Herbs, are you?" Jiang Yunzhou blurted out subconsciously.
Host, your heart is so dark...
Jiang Yunzhou's old face flushed. He was just reasonably questioning, how did he become 'dark'?
The system was indeed very generous to his disciples, so there should be no need to worry about false advertising regarding the effectiveness of the pills.
He stroked his chin, pondered for a moment, and said: "System, for all the Immortal Herbs here, please recommend which ones are suitable for each of my disciples to consume? And what kind of pills can the remaining ones be refined into?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the system's suggestions arrived:
It is recommended that Xiao Wu consume 'xiangsi duan changhong', Zhu Zhuqing can consume 'Water Xuan Jade Bone', Ning Rongrong can consume 'Eight Petal Immortal Orchid', Huo Wu can consume 'Cockscomb Phoenix Queen', Shui Bing'er can consume 'Snow Celestial Swan Kiss', and Qian Renxue can consume 'Splendid Velvet Heavenly Chrysanthemum'.
Host, are you not considering refining all these Immortal Herbs into pills?
After the system finished recommending, it didn't forget to promote to Jiang Yunzhou again.
Jiang Yunzhou thought for a moment. Since he was already here, it felt incomplete not to eat some Immortal Herbs.
Moreover, this seemed to have become a custom in this World, or perhaps a kind of obsession.
He himself didn't really care whether he ate Immortal Herbs or not; anyway, taking pills was essentially the same.
"Let them consume them. Anyway, there are so many here, and Xiao Wu has already started absorbing, so the others might as well enjoy themselves..."
