Chapter 135: Tang San and Tang Hao Plot for Immortal Herbs

"Mm." Tang Hao nodded, his sturdy figure coming to sit down opposite Master.

"Zhu Zhuqing's strength increased because Shi Quan gave her an Immortal Herb called Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone."

"An Immortal Herb again!?" A glimmer of excitement flashed in Yu Xiaogang's eyes, "Doesn't that mean Dugu Bo really has other Immortal Herbs?"

"If nothing goes wrong, yes." Tang Hao nodded.

Yu Xiaogang asked excitedly: "Your Excellency, can you help San secure an Immortal Herb?"

"The problem now is that none of us recognize Immortal Herbs. Judging from the conversation between Shi Quan and Zhu Zhuqing yesterday, the effects of each Immortal Herb are different, and the methods of consumption are also different." Tang Hao raised a critical issue.

Yu Xiaogang's expression stiffened; Immortal Herbs touched upon his blind spot in knowledge. He did not know that consuming Immortal Herbs was so troublesome, "Does Dugu Bo not know?"

"Hard to say. I suspect Dugu Bo himself really doesn't know how to identify Immortal Herbs. It is best to investigate the news of the Immortal Herbs ourselves; that way, we will be prepared. Otherwise, wouldn't Dugu Bo just fool us by taking any random herb?"

"That's true." Yu Xiaogang nodded.

Tang Hao looked in the direction of Xiao Wu with a complex expression, then looked at Yu Xiaogang and said: "Master, please go and call San over. There are some things that should be told to him."

The next second, the light dissipated, as if everything were just an illusion.

"Good! San, you must remember what you said. There are some things I originally wanted to tell you later, but under the current circumstances, I can only tell you in advance."

Tang San nodded.

Tang San walked into the room in confusion. When he saw Tang Hao's familiar figure, Tang San's eyes immediately turned red.

"Xiao Wu is my sister, my most important family member."

"Good." Yu Xiaogang nodded. He did not ask any questions. He held absolute respect for the Haotian Douluo, and he believed that Tang Hao must have his own arrangements for doing this.

Tang Hao said softly: "San, I know you have many questions to ask me, but for now, answer a few of Dad's questions first, and then Dad will explain to you slowly."

As his voice fell, one Soul Ring after another slowly emerged beneath Tang Hao: yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, red!

"This involves too much, and I cannot explain it clearly to you in a short time."

"What kind of position does Xiao Wu hold in your heart?"

Tang Hao gently stroked Tang San's head, while Tang San held Tang Hao's sturdy figure tightly, fearing that Tang Hao would disappear again.

"Dad."

"I am indeed a Title Douluo."

Before long, Master's voice came from outside the room, "San, come in, there is someone waiting for you inside."

"But what if Xiao Wu is not a human, but a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast!"

"Dad, you are... a Title Douluo!" Tang San looked at the scene before him in horror.

"Dad, where have you been? How could you be in Heaven Dou City?" Tang San's heart was full of various doubts.

Tang Hao's gaze stared fixedly at Tang San, observing the changes in Tang San's expression. He saw Tang San's expression tighten, struggling and conflicted, and the next second, a resonant and powerful voice rang out again, "Regardless of whether Xiao Wu is human or not, she is my Xiao Wu, the goal I will protect for my entire life."

"San, long time no see."

Receiving Tang Hao's affirmation, Tang San's eyes were full of excitement, but at the same time, there was even more confusion, "Dad, since you are a Title Douluo, why were you in a small place like Holy Soul Village?"

"I am seeing you today mainly to discuss the matter of Xiao Wu with you."

"Is Xiao Wu really a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast?" A hint of shock could not help but appear in the depths of Tang San's eyes.

"That's right." Tang Hao nodded.

He then introduced to Tang San the matter of Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts taking human form.

The reason Tang Hao chose to tell Tang San about Xiao Wu was also because of what happened during the day. When Xiao Wu entered the Education Committee, Tang Hao was worried that the Three Great Education Committees would discover Xiao Wu's identity; Heaven Dou Imperial Academy was a place where strong people gathered and intersected.

If Xiao Wu continued to stay at Heaven Dou Imperial Academy, there was no guarantee that one day, her identity would be discovered by some powerful expert.

Who could escape the temptation of such a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast delivered right to their doorstep?

"So that means, what Xiao Wu chose was to take human form, and she is still a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast in the Juvenile Period?" Tang San said in shock.

"That's right." Tang Hao nodded.

"She clearly knew that experts at the Spirit Douluo level or above would see through her identity, yet she still risked death to follow me to Heaven Dou City?" Tang San's eyes were red and moist. Recalling the past, he also understood why, when Xiao Wu first joined Shrek, she said the academy had no powerful figures at the Spirit Douluo level.

If there really were any, she would likely have already perished at Shrek Academy.

"Xiao Wu, this child, is indeed deeply attached to you." Tang Hao could not help but nod; this was also one of the main reasons Tang Hao approved of Xiao Wu.

Tang San asked unwillingly: "Dad, is there no other way to keep Xiao Wu's identity from being seen through by other experts before she reaches level sixty?"

If he could not find a way, even if it meant separation, he would have to send Xiao Wu away from Heaven Dou Imperial Academy.

Tang Hao shook his head, "The aura of a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast can indeed be masked with the help of some special rare treasures, but these rare treasures are extremely hard to come by and simply impossible to find."

"Rare treasures?" Tang San murmured softly, suddenly thinking of something, and said excitedly: "Dad, I know of a special Immortal Herb that can mask one's own aura, called Breath-Restraining Grass. This Immortal Herb has only one characteristic, which is to mask aura. Perhaps it could hide Xiao Wu's Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast aura. Doesn't Dugu Bo have Immortal Herbs? Maybe he has it."

"San, you recognize Immortal Herbs?" Tang Hao looked at Tang San in surprise.

Tang San nodded and said: "When I was in Nuoding City, I once bought a book about Immortal Herbs at a small stall. At the time, I just felt that the herbs described in the book were too magical, so I memorized them. I didn't expect that they could come in handy now."

"A small stall?" Tang Hao paused and then said: "Then do you recognize the Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone?"

"The Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone is a white, crystalline flower and grass. Its appearance looks as flawless as green lotus and white lotus root. It can moisten the tendons and supplement the bones, clearing the seven meridians and eight vessels."

Hearing Tang San's answer, Tang Hao's eyes suddenly lit up. He did not expect that Tang San actually recognized Immortal Herbs!

Both the appearance and the effect were exactly the same as the Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone that Shi Quan took out yesterday.

"San, you actually recognize Immortal Herbs."

"Dad, you have seen the Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone."

"Mm, what Shi Quan gave to Zhu Zhuqing last night was that Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone."

"Really?" Tang San's eyes brightened, "If it really is the Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone, after Zhuqing absorbs her Soul Ring, her strength will advance by leaps and bounds."

"Mm, in the morning, Shi Quan also said the same thing to Zhu Zhuqing." Tang Hao nodded, "Since you recognize Immortal Herbs, then it will be much simpler. I will go find that old poison-master Dugu Bo and have a good chat to see if I can get the Immortal Herbs from him."

"Wait a moment, Dad." Tang San suddenly spoke, "Immortal Herbs are precious. If you ask for them rashly, Dugu Bo definitely won't give them."

"Judging from the current situation, the Immortal Herbs all come from Dugu Bo. Immortal Herbs are precious, so logically they wouldn't be given away casually,"

"Zhuang Zhou was able to let Shi Quan give this Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone to Zhu Zhuqing. What did he do in the process, and what secrets are hidden? If we can investigate this clearly, perhaps we can help us get the Immortal Herbs from Dugu Bo."

"Dad, could you tell me in detail about what happened last night?"

Tang Hao nodded, then recounted everything that happened yesterday one by one.

"Knowledge?" Tang San murmured softly, "Could it be?"

"Dad, I suspect that neither Dugu Bo nor Shi Quan recognizes the Immortal Herb!" Tang San's voice contained irrepressible excitement.

"You mean Zhuang Zhou recognizes the Immortal Herb, and he used information about the Immortal Herb to help Zhu Zhuqing trade for this Immortal Herb?"

"That's right! And it is highly likely that Dugu Bo possesses a special treasure land."

"Why do you say that?"

"The environmental requirements for Immortal Herbs are extremely harsh. If it were just one Immortal Herb, it might just be a coincidence, but now that Dugu Bo first gave Shi Quan the Ink Jade Divine Bamboo, and then used the Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone to trade for knowledge of the Immortal Herb, it shows that Dugu Bo possesses at least two or more Immortal Herbs."

"If so many Immortal Herbs come from the hands of one person, it proves that Dugu Bo must have discovered an extremely special treasure land. Only a treasure land can nourish multiple special Immortal Herbs, and judging from the current situation, the number of Immortal Herbs nourished by this treasure land is definitely not small; otherwise, Dugu Bo would not be so generous as to use an Immortal Herb for trade."

"If that is really the case, doesn't that mean that as long as we find that treasure land of Dugu Bo's, we can find Immortal Herbs?"

"Exactly!" Tang San nodded excitedly, "But the problem now is how much Zhuang Zhou actually told Dugu Bo about the Immortal Herbs. I am worried that once Dugu Bo understands the value of the Immortal Herbs, he will move them all away."

"That is not a problem either. As long as you, Dad, can find the treasure land where Dugu Bo discovered the Immortal Herbs, all problems will be solved. If Dugu Bo hasn't taken the Immortal Herbs away, we can just take them ourselves when the time comes. If Dugu Bo has taken the Immortal Herbs away, then we can just go find Dugu Bo."

"Little San, you mean we should investigate Dugu Bo first, search for the treasure land, and not fall out with Dugu Bo unless absolutely necessary?" Tang Hao's eyes brightened. Even he, unless absolutely necessary, would not want to fall out with a Title Douluo, especially since the injuries in his body had not yet recovered.

Tang San held his head high and said confidently, "That's right. Immortal Herbs are precious. Dugu Bo already knows the general function of the Immortal Herbs. If we want to get the Immortal Herbs directly from his hands, I'm afraid we'll have to pay a significant price. If we can find the Immortal Herb treasure land directly, we can just take them ourselves; why would we need to beg him?"

"Good, we will follow your plan. First, call your teacher in; he should also have quite a bit of understanding regarding Dugu Bo. We can ask him first, and then I will go and investigate in detail. I believe it won't be long before there will be some investigation results..."
