Chapter 151: Tang San Monopolizes One

Tang San knew that there were far from enough Immortal Herbs for everyone to have one.

Originally, he had decided to wait until they returned to the academy to distribute them. But now that Yu Tianheng had suddenly brought it up, they had to distribute them.

Yet, if they could not satisfy everyone, once the team split up, they would likely all end up buried in this forest.

Flender hurriedly said, "The quantity of Immortal Herbs is limited; why not have two people share one? Or wait until we return to see if Tianheng has had any success on his end before distributing them?"

Tang San added, "We made discoveries in the Star Dou Great Forest; the relatively more primitive Thunder Canyon should yield significant gains. Moreover, these Immortal Herbs are not yet fully mature, so their effects might not be that great."

Yu Xiaogang had asked Tang San beforehand, and among these four Immortal Herbs, none were suitable for him. Besides, in terms of grade, they were far from mature.

One must know that in a short period, a person can only absorb one Immortal Herb.

Yu Xiaogang decided to wait a while longer; perhaps the people Yu Tianheng sent could find better Immortal Herbs.

Dai Mubai suggested, "How about we split them in pairs for now, and wait for news from Tianheng's side before distributing them further?"

Yu Xiaogang took up the thread, "That is a good suggestion. But Tang San deserves the most credit for us finding these Immortal Herbs, so he should be allocated one individually. As for me, I will wait for news from Tianheng's side."

Everyone had no objections to this, as there was still suspense regarding Yu Tianheng's side.

Some even felt that Yu Tianheng might be able to find even better Immortal Herbs.

"Then I will share one with Xiao Wu." Zhu Zhuqing did not think Yu Tianheng would have any success, so she decided to secure her share early.

As for Xiao Wu, she did not need an Immortal Herb herself, and her cultivation speed would not be slow.

Furthermore, she sympathized with Zhu Zhuqing's background and immediately stated, "I will wait; Zhu Qing, you absorb this Immortal Herb directly."

……

Soon, the Immortal Herbs were distributed.

Yu Tianheng and Dai Mubai were paired for one, but the former was confident that there were better Immortal Herbs in Thunder Canyon, so he simply gave his share to Dai Mubai.

Oscar and Ma Hongjun were paired for one, but the latter knew that the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower was of the greatest help to him, so he simply gave the Immortal Herb to Oscar.

Zhu Zhuqing had always been a sensible person; she knew that waiting might not yield results.

To avoid disputes or internal strife within the team over the Immortal Herbs, she suggested, "Since everyone is willing to wait, why don't those who have obtained an Immortal Herb absorb it on the road?"

"Third Brother said that the sooner one obtains an Immortal Herb, the better. Who knows, our soul power levels might even break through because of it, and then we can hunt for our Soul Rings before heading back?"

Tang San hesitated for a moment and looked at Xiao Wu, "Xiao Wu, can you still sense any other Immortal Herbs?"

With only four Immortal Herbs, he always felt uneasy.

Xiao Wu naturally knew the location of some natural treasures, but why did she specifically choose the territory of the giant eagles?

Eagles and rabbits were natural enemies; she had no psychological burden about sabotaging the giant eagle family, but if she were to sabotage a Soul Beast she had a good relationship with, she would feel bad.

"There are no more, Third Brother."

Yu Xiaogang said, "Treasures have always belonged to those with affinity. That we could find these four Immortal Herbs proves we have an affinity with them."

"What belongs to us, others cannot take away!"

Everyone deeply agreed.

They were completely unaware that when they had previously speculated that Wu Qi had Immortal Herbs, he had not acted like this at all.

Flender kept a constant watch above; with two giant eagles circling in turns, they could not leave in the short term.

Moreover, his and Liu Erlong's soul power consumption was high; if they went out now and encountered an attack, they might not be able to cope.

"Er Long and I will recover our soul power first; you all absorb the Immortal Herbs, and we will go out together later."

……

Meanwhile, in Tiandou City.

After the battle with Chrysanthemum Pass, Dugu Bo had completely built up his confidence.

In the past few days, he had been acting increasingly high-profile in Tiandou City.

This morning, he came to the Seven Treasure Academy as usual to meet with Wu Qi.

"Little fellow, earth-shattering good news," he said with a hearty laugh.

Wu Qi retorted irritably, "How could the injuries on your body recover so easily? What matter makes you willing to risk your old wounds flaring up just to come and tell me?"

During that sparring match, although both sides stopped at the limit, both had been injured.

Don't let the fact that Chrysanthemum Pass was a sissy fool you; his strength was not small, and he had broken several of Dugu Bo's ribs.

However, he did not know that Dugu Bo's poison arts had improved significantly, and because of this, he had also suffered not-insignificant injuries.

Relatively speaking, Dugu Bo's loss was smaller, and he had indeed gained a great advantage.

Dugu Bo leaned against the window to the side and pointed his right finger outside, "You know the Tiandou Auction House, right? Recently, I heard there is a Spirit System left-arm soul bone for sale."

"Just a moment ago, the Great Spirit Arena announced that they will hold a Heaven-Grade Auction in three days. Wouldn't you say that is earth-shattering good news?"

Spirit System soul bones were already rare, let alone a left-arm soul bone; its rarity was maxed out.

One must know that normal Spirit System soul bones are usually for the head, and absorbing an arm Spirit System soul bone, then absorbing a head soul bone, could stack spirit power for a Spirit Master. For Control System and Support System Soul Masters, this was a rare treasure.

Wu Qi spread his hands, "We definitely have no chance at this soul bone; Uncle Ning will not let it go. With the pittance we have on hand, we had better not go and compete."

Dugu Bo shook his head and smiled, "Little fellow, what I mean is, this auction has many heavyweight items; are you interested in going to take a look?"

"You all stay cooped up in the academy cultivating every day; don't you find it uncomfortable? Cultivation requires a balance of work and rest; it's not meant to be done the way you all are pushing yourselves."

Wu Qi muttered to himself.

But he decided to go to the auction to take a look.

The Heaven-Grade Auction was only held by the Tiandou Auction House every few years; it was bound to have heavyweight items, and there were also opportunities to pick up bargains.

"Fine, let's go take a look; call me when the time comes."

Dugu Bo nodded, and as he was about to leave, he suddenly remembered something, "Chrysanthemum Pass said you read that secret letter in advance; why didn't you notify me?"

Wu Qi gave an awkward smile, "Don't be so serious; I wasn't even sure if it was Tang San and the others who did it. With your temperament, if you had chased after them at the time, who knows how much trouble it would have caused."

"Besides, revenge doesn't necessarily require you to make a move. Just wait and see how we teach the Shrek Team a lesson at the Spirit Master Tournament."

Having regained his standing from Chrysanthemum Pass, Dugu Bo was in a great mood, but that did not mean he would not hold him accountable for this responsibility.

After all, being someone who repays every grievance is the only way to live up to the title of Poison Douluo.

"Fine, this old man will give you this face." Dugu Bo had no doubts about this.

With the Seven Treasures team consisting entirely of Soul Ancestors, and even having a Soul King, teaching the Shrek Seven Devils a lesson would be far too easy!

……

On the outskirts of Tiandou City, a carriage bearing the emblem of the Tiandou Auction House was galloping along the main road.

The guard on the carriage could not help but urge, "Faster, go faster! Once this cargo enters the city, it will be safe."

The coachman knew the value of the cargo on board well, so how could he dare to slack off? But the horses had a limit to their Speed, and no matter how much faster they went, it wouldn't be by much.

What they did not know was that in the shadows, a pair of eyes as cold as a serpent or scorpion had already locked onto them.
