Chapter 23: Records of Ancient Herb, Immortal Herb Alchemy Conjecture
But Yun Yuan had no idea to what extent Yue Guan's love for flowers and plants had reached; it could be said to have reached the point of madness.
Knowing that Yun Yuan also liked flowers and plants, coupled with Yun Yuan's noble status, being able to converse with him gave Yue Guan a deep sense of having found a soulmate.
Looking at Yun Yuan, a faint smile appeared at the corners of Yue Guan's mouth as he spoke:
"Your Highness Holy Son, since you wish to learn about flowers and plants, I will certainly ensure Your Highness becomes acquainted with every flower and herb in this world."
"Now, please follow me into the manor, Your Highness. My residence contains hundreds and thousands of species of flowers and plants, enough for Your Highness to study properly for a while."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yue Guan invited Yun Yuan into his manor. Yun Yuan followed closely behind, entering a residence that could be described as a sea of flowers.
Yue Guan's manor was different from ordinary people's; most of it was a sea of flowers, planted with rare and exotic herbs. The environment was quiet and elegant, with a rich floral fragrance.
Walking along the narrow steps for about ten meters, Yun Yuan had already seen flowers and plants of various shapes. By his estimation, there were no fewer than a hundred species.
Upon reaching the pavilion in the center of the floral sea, Yun Yuan and Yue Guan finally sat down. Then, Yue Guan couldn't wait to introduce the exotic plants in his garden to Yun Yuan.
As time passed, Yun Yuan became acquainted with many types of plants. Among them, he saw many flowers and herbs in Yue Guan's manor that could be used as medicine.
"It seems that besides Immortal Herbs, I can also learn about other plants that can be used medicinally."
As he listened, Yun Yuan secretly made up his mind that, in addition to Immortal Herbs, he would appropriately study other useful plants.
Several hours passed.
At this point, Yun Yuan also began to mention the purpose of his visit. He looked at Yue Guan, his eyes filled with heat and expectation.
"Elder Chrysanthemum, I once learned from ancient texts about the most precious types of flowers and plants, known as Immortal Herbs. I wonder if Elder Chrysanthemum is familiar with them?"
"Coming here this time, what I am most interested in is those legendary Immortal Herbs."
Hearing this, the fanaticism in Yue Guan's eyes intensified. Immortal Herbs—those were his lifelong pursuit. His Martial Soul, the Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, was a type of Immortal Herb.
His lifelong dream was to obtain a legendary Immortal Herb. If he could get a Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, Yue Guan couldn't imagine how excited he would be.
"Immortal Herbs... those are the herbs of dreams for countless plant lovers."
"Since Your Highness is also passionate about Immortal Herbs, how could I possibly go against Your Highness's wishes?"
"Please wait a moment, Your Highness. I shall go and retrieve something to give to you. At that time, Your Highness will know the beauty of the supreme art of the world's flora."
After saying this, Yue Guan's figure disappeared from the pavilion, heading off to parts unknown.
But he left quickly and returned just as fast. Before long, he rushed back to the pavilion carrying a thick book in his hands.
Looking at the book in Yue Guan's hands, Yun Yuan already had a guess. He couldn't help but stand up, his eyes fixed on the book as the fanaticism in his gaze grew stronger.
Coming before Yun Yuan, Yue Guan held up the book with a face full of pride. Then, he introduced it to Yun Yuan boastfully.
"Your Highness, this is the masterpiece of my life. I have named it the Records of Ancient Herb."
"Since I began collecting flowers and plants, I have spent countless hours creating this Records of Ancient Herb. I believe it is the proudest achievement of my life."
"As for this Records of Ancient Herb, I guarantee it records ninety-nine percent of the precious flora on the continent. Naturally, this includes those most precious, highest-grade Immortal Grade flowers and plants."
"Moreover, this Records of Ancient Herb also documents the appearance and effects of each precious plant in detail."
After finishing his introduction, the smile on Yue Guan's face lingered for a long time. Looking at this Records of Ancient Herb, a sense of pride spontaneously rose in his heart.
Among those who have loved flowers and plants throughout history, who could reach the level of Yue Guan?
The answer was: never!
After gazing at his masterpiece for a while, Yue Guan reluctantly handed the book to Yun Yuan.
"Your Highness, this book is my life's masterpiece. Since Your Highness is curious about Immortal Grade flora, I can lend it to you to study well, but remember, do not damage it."
Hearing this, Yun Yuan patted his chest and promised Yue Guan with joy in his eyes.
"Please rest assured, Elder Chrysanthemum. I will definitely take good care of this Records of Ancient Herb. In a few days, after I have finished studying, I will certainly return it to you completely intact."
Yun Yuan was extremely satisfied with this Records of Ancient Herb. As expected of the person who loved flowers and plants the most in the entire Douluo Continent, Yue Guan was truly meticulous.
When he searches for the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well in the future, he would reward Yue Guan with an Immortal Grade plant to repay the kindness of today's book gift.
After obtaining this Records of Ancient Herb, Yun Yuan couldn't wait to return to his palace to study this precious herb knowledge in great detail.
Then, after chatting with Yue Guan for a few more moments, he left Yue Guan's manor and returned toward his palace with a face full of joy.
Today was a bountiful harvest; he was truly happy.
Inside Yun Yuan's palace on the back mountain of the The Pope's Palace.
The moment he returned, Yun Yuan lay on his bed and excitedly flipped through the Records of Ancient Herb that Yue Guan had lent him.
Just as Yue Guan had described, almost all the precious flowers and plants on the continent were documented in his book.
"Eight Petal Immortal Orchid, Immortal Grade flora."
Appearance: Eight petals of snow-white orchid, crystal clear and elegant, with a pure fragrance. If harvested with gold and stored in jade, it can remain for a thousand years without withering.
Effects: Its medicinal nature is gentle and mellow. It consolidates the foundation and nurtures the origin, cleanses impurities within the body, and enhances Spiritual Power.
...
After seeing the content about Immortal Grade flora in the Records of Ancient Herb, Yun Yuan's interest grew even more as he curiously observed the appearance and effects of these Immortal Herbs.
When he read the original Douluo novel in his previous life, he basically skimmed through it once. Without an eidetic memory, how could he remember the appearance and effects of the Immortal Grade plants?
But now, with this Records of Ancient Herb and his heaven-defying talent, remembering these Immortal Herbs was simply a breeze.
Even for the other precious plants in the Records of Ancient Herb, Yun Yuan could roughly remember them at a glance. This talent was truly great, countless times better than his in his previous life.
Several hours later, Yun Yuan finally finished reading through the thick book.
"Elder Chrysanthemum, I really have to thank you properly."
During these several hours of reading, Yun Yuan not only became familiar with the types of Immortal Herbs but also roughly learned about the precious medicinal plants on the continent.
After understanding the precious herb knowledge, Yun Yuan began to plan for the future.
He was determined to obtain the Immortal Herbs from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. But after getting them, which one should he consume to maximize the effect?
Or rather, should he take multiple plants at the same time? But how would he solve the problem of medicinal resistance?
At this moment, Yun Yuan gradually fell into deep thought. As he pondered, a unique idea gradually surfaced in his mind.
"Could I use Immortal Herbs for alchemy?"
