Inside a room in the fortress!

At this moment, only Du Gu Bo, Du Gu Yan, Wang Li, Bai He, and Yang Wu Di were present.

There were no outsiders. Yang Wu Di had also taken out what he claimed to be evidence—a book with the words "Immortal Herb Volume" written on the cover.

Taking a deep breath, Yang Wu Di began speaking:

"Our clan has conducted extensive research on herbs across the world. This book contains various introductions to medicinal plants, but the most valuable of them all are the Immortal Herbs. That's why our clan has named it the Immortal Herb Volume, hoping to catalog all the Immortal Herbs in the world."

As he spoke, Yang Wu Di flipped through the pages of the book, quickly finding the page for Xiang Si Duan Chang Hong:

"A treasure of immortal grade, Xiang Si Duan Chang Hong—it brings the dead back to life, turns flesh into white bones, and can change the very nature of the world. It has the power to transform a person's entire being."

"This immortal herb is also deeply tied to love and emotions, and can only be picked by couples who are deeply in love. If someone tries to forcefully pick it, it will wither completely. It is an exceedingly rare, almost mythical plant!"

Yang Wu Di's face showed signs of intense fervor.

Du Gu Bo remained calm on the surface, but internally, he was deeply shaken. He had thought that only Ju Dou Luo had extensive knowledge of rare and exotic herbs, but he never expected that the leader of this small clan would possess an entire volume dedicated to Immortal Herbs.

Immediately, a thought crossed his mind—he wanted to acquire this Immortal Herb Volume for himself, though he didn't express this desire openly.

Du Gu Yan held Xiang Si Duan Chang Hong in her hands, casually toying with it. She wasn't interested in the plant's ability to bring the dead back to life or turn flesh into bones, but she did like the flower because it represented deep affection.

Wang Li spoke calmly:

"Senior, this flower has already been picked. You should understand what this means."

Yang Wu Di turned to look at Wang Li and nodded.

"I understand. It means Xiang Si Duan Chang Hong has recognized its master. One flower only acknowledges one person in its lifetime. No one else can take it away. Anyone who tries to forcefully take it will cause it to wither."

"Therefore, I only wish to take a look at this Xiang Si Duan Chang Hong. My clan possesses the Immortal Herb Volume, but I have never seen an actual Immortal Herb. Being able to see this treasure is one of my lifelong wishes."

Wang Li continued:

"Senior, we wouldn't want to look without offering something in return. Would it be possible for us to copy this Immortal Herb Volume? It's not out of greed. Since we obtained this flower, we've been searching for its uses. Unfortunately, very few people on the continent study rare herbs. We were quite surprised when you recognized this flower."

Du Gu Bo shot a glance at Wang Li, silently approving of him. After all, as an elder, it would be somewhat overbearing for him to bring this up directly.

But as a junior, Wang Li could ask more freely. If they could get their hands on the Immortal Herb Volume, not only would they identify Xiang Si Duan Chang Hong, but they would also be able to identify all the other Immortal Herbs like the Ice and Fire Eyes.

After a moment's thought, Yang Wu Di replied. Their clan's research was divided into two volumes: the upper volume, the Immortal Herb Volume, and the lower volume, the Poison Research Volume. The Immortal Herb Volume was an introduction to various herbs, while the Poison Research Volume dealt with the study of both medicinal herbs and poisons.

The Immortal Herb Volume could be copied.

With that, Yang Wu Di nodded and said:

"Alright, as long as it's not passed around, you may copy it. But may I see the Xiang Si Duan Chang Hong?"

Wang Li's heart leaped with joy. It seemed that Xiang Si Duan Chang Hong had a strong enough allure to Yang Wu Di. All it took was a glance to obtain the Immortal Herb Volume.

He then turned to Du Gu Yan and asked:

"Yan Yan, should we let him have a look?"

Du Gu Yan understood the situation well. Since her grandfather was also present, she wasn't worried that Yang Wu Di would try to take the flower. She handed over the Xiang Si Duan Chang Hong and said:

"Senior, please take a look."

Yang Wu Di restrained all his excitement and fervor, his face now showing only reverence. He extended his hand, eager to touch the Xiang Si Duan Chang Hong.

However, at that moment, the flower emitted a golden-red glow, resisting his touch. The flower, having already recognized its master, would not allow anyone else to touch it.

Only looking was allowed, not touching. But this did not diminish Yang Wu Di's excitement. In fact, it only made him more reverent, and he muttered to himself:

"The Immortal Herb has a spirit, the Immortal Herb has a spirit…"

After a while, he calmed himself and said thoughtfully:

"The Xiang Si Duan Chang Hong and the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng complement each other in their medicinal properties. I assume that's why you came here to purchase the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng."

Though Du Gu Bo didn't know much about this, the image of a senior expert could not be diminished. He nodded indifferently.

"Indeed, that's the case."

Yang Wu Di's expression suggested that he had expected this. Both Xiang Si Duan Chang Hong and Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng were treasures, and when combined, they could produce incredible effects. Even he could not imagine their full potential.

But this had nothing to do with him. Clenching his teeth, Yang Wu Di solemnly continued:

"Actually, besides the Immortal Herb Volume, our clan also has the Poison Research Volume, which delves into the study of both herbs and poisons."

"This young lady is a descendant of Lord Bi Lin. I won't ask you to become my disciple, but I'll allow you to copy both the Immortal Herb Volume and the Poison Research Volume. I hope you will spread knowledge of these treasures and not let them go to waste."

Wang Li's eyes lit up. It seemed that Yang Wu Di had more hidden treasures, and he was willing to offer them without hesitation, saving Wang Li a lot of trouble.

Du Gu Bo was silent for a moment. He didn't like owing favors, but since Yang Wu Di had offered such valuable resources, he didn't want to refuse. He said:

"I won't take your things for nothing. Consider it a favor owed to you. If you ever need something from me in the future, within my ability, I will help you."

Yang Wu Di accepted this with equanimity. The research his family had done could easily justify the favor of a Titled Douluo:

"Thank you, Lord Bi Lin."

Everything was settled, and Du Gu Bo, Du Gu Yan, and Wang Li stayed at the Bai family's fortress for another day. Du Gu Yan copied the Immortal Herb Volume and Poison Research Volume from Yang Wu Di, who also gave her a copy of his own notes on the use of herbs and poisons.

The Next Day!

Du Gu Bo, along with Du Gu Yan and Wang Li, soared through the air, leaving Bai Family Fortress behind as they made their way back to the Ice and Fire Eyes.

Meanwhile, inside Bai Family Fortress…

Bai He, curious, asked Yang Wu Di:

"Old Goat, let me ask you one more thing. Did I sell the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng too cheaply, or too expensively?"

Yang Wu Di glanced at him and explained:

"The Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng is indeed quite precious to your Min clan, but to Lord Bi Lin, it is an invaluable treasure."

"You could say it was sold cheaply, but Lord Bi Lin is not someone without compassion. He will certainly remember your kindness. If you ever need help in the future, it's highly likely he will assist you."

Bai He decided to take the answer and leave it at that. Upon hearing this, he chuckled and said:

"Alright, alright. Our single-element Four Clan is in this situation because of the Spirit Hall. It's fortunate that we were able to make the acquaintance of a Titled Douluo. Perhaps we will indeed have to ask for his help in the future."

*Meanwhile, on the other side…*

Du Gu Bo smiled and said:

"I didn't expect this trip to be so rewarding. Not only have we obtained the Xiang Si Duan Chang Hong and Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng, but it turns out they complement each other's medicinal properties. I'm now even more convinced that they will help Yan Yan overcome the flaw in her martial soul."

After speaking, Du Gu Bo noticed Wang Li deep in thought and, curious, asked:

"Xiao Li, what are you thinking so deeply about?"

Wang Li looked up and explained:

"I'm thinking that both the Min clan and the Po clan have their own unique strengths. Perhaps in the future, we could bring them together to help us."
