Chapter 66: It's so good to have a master
Ever since Chrysanthemum Douluo took in three monster-like disciples, he had been in high spirits. Every day he would go for a stroll, and whenever he met other Titled Douluo, he would talk about his disciples, how excellent they were in every way, and how he had a keen eye for talent to have taken in three such disciples. This made others avoid him recently.
After Chrysanthemum Douluo took Jerry, Xiao Wu, and Lingling as disciples, he had Jerry and Xiao Wu move into his courtyard. Lingling lived with her mother now. It wasn't convenient to help Lingling's mother resolve the dark spirit power right now; her mother's dark spirit power hadn't been assimilated. It seems the assimilation only appeared in Lingling's generation, so it was quite troublesome to resolve.
Chrysanthemum Douluo's residence covered nearly 500 mu; every Titled Douluo was allocated a piece of land for their residence.
The outer perimeter was surrounded by poisonous flowers and grasses, with only one entrance. This entrance was guarded by guards every day, and ordinary people couldn't enter at all.
Passing through the poisonous flower and grass area, a straight and wide road led directly to a simple and ancient courtyard. On both sides of the road were planted various flowers and grasses, and all kinds of floral scents drifted over, refreshing and fragrant.
Jerry discovered many plant-type Soul Beasts inside, ranging from ten-year, hundred-year, to thousand-year ones. Jerry felt a bit strange; it was his first time seeing someone else cultivating Soul Beasts.
"Master, there are so many Soul Beasts here!" Jerry said.
"Yes, originally they were all just ordinary flowers and grasses. I love them very much, and since the courtyard is so big, it would be a waste to leave it empty, so I transplanted them all here. Watering and pruning them every day makes me feel exceptionally happy." Chrysanthemum Douluo said!
"After a long time, without the pressure of the outside world, they slowly grew into Soul Beasts! Because I deal with them every day, and my own martial soul is the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum, I know that every plant has some characteristics! I have studied the characteristics of 3,600 types of plants here, and there are more than 300 types that I saw in the Spirit Hall's records but haven't found the actual specimens. Since you like them, these are the data I have researched and recorded, take them and have a look!" After Chrysanthemum Douluo finished speaking, he took out a pile of books, each one very thick, and handed them directly to Jerry!
Jerry was a bit dumbfounded. He had been thinking about how to get his hands on these herb records, and now he had received them directly.
There were thirteen books in total, among which one to twelve were the plants Chrysanthemum Douluo had already researched. There was also one that didn't say it was the thirteenth book; the cover of this book was written with "Unknown Plants"!
The records of the Immortal Herbs should be in this one.
Opening the first book, he took a look. The first plant was Blue Silver Grass. A clear picture was drawn in the book, and everyone on the Douluo Continent would know it was Blue Silver Grass at a glance.
Blue Silver Grass: The most abundant plant on the Douluo Continent, found in every region; it could be said to be everywhere!
Characteristics: Strong vitality; even if only one root is left, it can survive.
Growth period: All year round.
Growth environment: Anywhere, but it grows exceptionally well in places with sufficient sunlight, natural ventilation, and slightly moist soil!
Maximum age: It can grow up to 100,000 years, evolving into the Blue Silver Emperor at 100,000 years. At 70,000 years, it can evolve into the Blue Silver King.
Medicinal value: Ten-year Blue Silver Grass has a slight effect on healing wounds; hundred-year Blue Silver Grass, besides enhancing the healing effect, can also detoxify some common poisons; thousand-year Blue Silver Grass is already a rare plant, and its healing and detoxification are quite good; ten-thousand-year Blue Silver Grass is already very hard to find. The Spirit Hall's records mention finding one 20,000-year-old, one 60,000-year-old, and one 70,000-year-old specimen. Ten-thousand-year Blue Silver Grass itself is already very strong in healing and detoxification, and it also comes with attack power. Ordinary Spirit Masters basically cannot kill it; it is recommended to bring a fire-attribute Spirit Master when hunting. At 70,000 years, it has already become a Blue Silver King. The Spirit Hall dispatched 30 Soul Douluo and 2 Titled Douluo to capture it, but it escaped, and the capture was unsuccessful! The 100,000-year Blue Silver Grass has already evolved into the Blue Silver Emperor; Pope Qian Xunji led a team to capture it personally, and in the end, it sacrificed itself to the Clear Sky Douluo, Tang Hao.
Later, it introduced a lot of knowledge about Blue Silver Grass, all written very comprehensively, basically the same as what Jerry had researched himself. It seems that this master, Chrysanthemum Douluo, was the right choice to apprentice under!
Afterwards, Jerry began to study these books!
Chrysanthemum Douluo felt that Jerry and Xiao Wu's spirit power levels were relatively high, and the Spirit Hall Academy had nothing left to teach them; what they lacked was some knowledge for later training, so he kept them by his side to train.
He also applied for high-level library access for Jerry and Xiao Wu, so they could go to the library to study materials on their own.
Being a master for the first time, Chrysanthemum Douluo didn't know how to teach disciples before, especially three monster-like disciples, so he didn't interfere too much with their training. The three disciples didn't disappoint him either; they trained hard every day.
Even Chrysanthemum Douluo felt they were training too hard! He also understood why no one had discovered they were geniuses for so many years. These three disciples had been training every day since they arrived here; except for eating and sleeping, they spent all their time training. Jerry would also take time to read books, while Xiao Wu and Lingling only knew how to train. So he often let them go out to stroll and make friends, not to stay at home training all the time!
Others who take on disciples are afraid that their disciples will be lazy and not work hard, so they have to urge them every day. Here, he complained that his disciples were too hardworking, afraid that they would train themselves silly!
Chrysanthemum Douluo was still very good to them. Afraid they would be tired and not eat well, he invited several top chefs to cook delicious food for the three of them every day!
This was perfectly to Xiao Wu and Lingling's taste, so now, besides training, they had one more thing to do: eat delicious food!
Perhaps because they had come to the Spirit Hall and seen its power, Xiao Wu and Lingling were training especially hard now and didn't go out shopping much!
By now, Chrysanthemum Douluo, the master, had instead become their logistics support, arranging everything perfectly!
Although Chrysanthemum Douluo's personality was a bit strange, he was truly good to Jerry and the others!
Jerry even said he wanted to study meditation methods, and Chrysanthemum Douluo almost emptied the Spirit Hall, even going to exchange meditation methods with other Douluo. Although Chrysanthemum Douluo paid a great price, seeing Jerry so happy when he received these meditation methods, he felt it was all worth it.
Perhaps it was just that, being middle-aged and having no descendants of his own, suddenly having a few disciples gave Chrysanthemum Douluo the joy of having children in his old age, so he cared for them exceptionally!
Jerry saw these meditation methods, and there were even some meditation methods of Titled Douluo! He immediately understood a lot!
"Master, thank you! It's so good to have you!" A thousand words turned into a simple "thank you"! Sometimes gratitude doesn't need to be expressed; just keep it in your heart.
Jerry thought that when he had time in the future to go to the Star Dou Great Forest, he would bring back that Immortal Herb, the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum, for his master. This way, it might be able to repair the flaws in his martial soul!
