Chapter 288 I Have a Granddaughter [Second Update]
"There is indeed something I'd like to ask for your help with, senior."
Ye Qifeng smiled and nodded at him.
"you say."
Dugu Bo stood with his hands behind his back and said with a sigh.
"I would like to trouble you to help me pick all the mature or ready-to-harvest herbs around the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well."
Ye Qifeng smiled and made his request.
Dugu Bo himself had in-depth research on herbs, so why not use this free labor?
We can't let him get away.
Furthermore, although they had already obtained the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire and were about to acquire the divine herbs, Dugu Bo and his grandson Dugu Yan had not yet submitted to them or pledged allegiance.
"Hiss~~"
Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo gasped and said irritably:
"Hey kid, didn't you hear what I just said? Did you just let it go in one ear and out the other?"
"As I said, many of the plants here are highly poisonous, especially the unknown plants native to this area. Their toxicity is far more terrifying than the poisons I cultivate, and even I dare not touch them lightly."
"You're asking me to pick them for you? Are you deliberately trying to harm me?"
"Cough cough, how could I possibly harm my senior?"
Ye Qifeng coughed lightly twice. "Don't worry, senior. I have specific harvesting methods here, and I won't put you in any danger."
As he spoke, he casually tossed a scroll toward Dugu Bo.
Subconsciously catching the scroll that Ye Qifeng threw to him, Dugu Bo paused for a moment, then asked:
"What is this?"
Ye Qifeng pointed to the scroll in his hand and replied:
"This is a scroll of herbal illustrations."
"It contains detailed information about many rare and precious medicinal herbs, including their names, illustrations, harvesting and storage methods."
The herbal scroll was compiled by him in his spare time after reading the Yueguan family's inherited treasure book, "Illustrated Catalogue of Rare Medicines and Herbs," and was prepared for the purpose of picking herbs from the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.
However, the records only contain rare, high-grade and top-grade flowers and herbs. As for immortal-grade flowers and herbs, Ye Qifeng did not include them, as he planned to pick them himself.
The number of celestial herbs nurtured in the Yin-Yang Well is not excessive, and it wouldn't take him long to harvest them all by himself.
"Wait a minute, Ye boy, could it be that the plants here contain records of this place?"
Dugu Bo realized what was happening.
"Most of them, I guess."
Ye Qifeng smiled slightly and said, "Senior can take a look first and memorize it. With your cultivation level of Title Douluo, picking herbs will be a piece of cake, and there will be no danger, just by referring to the information recorded inside."
"Alright."
Dugu Bo agreed and then eagerly opened the scroll to read it.
Without disturbing him, Ye Qifeng looked at the ghost standing silently beside him, handed him a scroll as well, and instructed him:
"Elder Ghost, please take a copy of the scroll as well. Could you please help me pick and collect some herbs?"
"The herbs recorded here are all those that can be stored for a long time and do not need to be kept fresh. After harvesting, place them in the jade box and store them in your storage soul tool."
As he spoke, Ye Qifeng took out a pile of pre-prepared jade boxes from his amethyst crystal ring and placed them in front of the ghost.
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Taking the scroll and putting away the jade box, Gui Mei gave a concise reply, then opened the scroll and, like Dugu Bo, quickly browsed and memorized its contents.
"Hey, Brother Ye, what about me?"
At that moment, Raven jumped up and waved.
"I almost forgot about you, little one."
Ye Qifeng smiled in surprise, stroked her hair, and whispered:
"Raven, you just need to stay by Elder Ghost's side."
"The environment here is somewhat dangerous for you. Your body is not yet able to withstand the impact of the rich spiritual energy of heaven and earth here."
"Stay close to Elder Ghost and don't wander off. He will protect you."
"Okay, I understand."
Raven nodded her little head knowingly.
Although the scenery here was beautiful, she sensed that the air contained some kind of terrifying power that stung her skin and made her scalp tingle.
If it weren't for the protection of Elder Ghost's soul power shield, she probably wouldn't have been able to stay there for even a second.
Not long after.
Dugu Bo put away the scroll of medicinal herbs.
He has already read and memorized all the information about the herbs inside.
Unexpectedly, the medicinal herbs recorded in this herbal scroll are so comprehensive and diverse, even including most of the herbs found in this precious land.
Moreover, many of the herbs recorded inside were ones he had never seen or heard of before.
For a moment, Dugu Bo was stunned.
Seeing Dugu Bo put away the herbal medicine scroll, Ye Qifeng glanced at him and smiled when he saw Dugu Bo's astonished expression.
If Dugu Bo knew that the information about the herbs on the scroll came from the family heirloom of his old rival, Ju Douluo Yueguan, and that it was only a part of it, I wonder if his expression would become even more interesting.
Shaking his head, Ye Qifeng looked at Dugu Bo and asked meaningfully:
"By the way, since you've been studying herbs for so many years, you must have some methods to keep the harvested herbs fresh, right?"
"Of course there are."
Upon hearing the question, Dugu Bo snapped out of his shock, patted the blue leather pouch hanging at his waist, and introduced it with a slightly boastful expression:
"My storage soul tool is called the Ruyi Treasure Pouch. It can not only store living things, but also keep herbs fresh."
Ye Qifeng ignored Dugu Bo's boasting; he knew about the Ruyi Baibao Nang (a magical pouch for divination) all too well, so he interrupted him:
"Then I'll leave the task of gathering the herbs to you, senior."
Dugu Bo, who wanted to continue showing off his Ruyi Baibao Pouch, hesitated for a moment, but faced with Ye Qifeng's request, he thought for a moment and agreed to help.
"Can."
Then, Dugu Bo suddenly seemed to remember something and said to Ye Qifeng in a somewhat sinister tone:
"Aren't you afraid I'll pick those herbs and then keep them for myself?"
"I'm not afraid."
Upon hearing this, Ye Qifeng shook his head slightly, "I trust your reputation, senior."
"and"
He paused, then changed the subject, smiling faintly:
"I can also promise you, senior, that if there are any herbs you find appealing among the ones you have picked, please feel free to take them."
Since they are all high-grade and top-grade medicinal herbs, there are plenty in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye, so giving some to Dugu Bo wouldn't hurt.
Again.
Cannibals are soft and short.
As long as he takes enough, there's no need to worry about him not willingly submitting in the future.
Therefore, at this moment, Ye Qifeng acted with unusual magnanimity.
After hearing Ye Qifeng's words, Dugu Bo was somewhat surprised and astonished.
However, he did not refuse.
After looking at the scroll and learning about the details of some of the herbs in the valley, he became very interested in several of the highly poisonous herbs and wanted to take them back for further study.
He gave Ye Qifeng a deep look.
Dugu Bo was becoming increasingly interested in the young holy son from the Spirit Hall before him.
From Ye Qifeng, he saw a maturity unlike that of ordinary teenagers, as well as a special temperament: gentle and peaceful, calm and composed, and magnanimous.
They also have talent and ability.
Thinking of this, Dugu Bo asked, almost as if possessed:
"By the way, kid Ye, what level have you reached in your cultivation?"
"Oh, a Soul King with a Soul Power of Level 53."
Night Seven Wind replied calmly.
"What the hell? A Soul King? You're only twelve years old, aren't you?"
Dugu Bo's lips trembled with surprise.
"Yes, is there a problem?"
Ye Qifeng tilted his head and looked at him.
Seeing Dugu Bo's shocked and incredulous expression, Ye Qifeng rubbed his forehead and had no choice but to suppress his disguise skills, revealing a trace of his soul power.
"Level 53 Soul Power".
The aura of soul power emanating from Ye Qifeng was fleeting, but Dugu Bo still clearly sensed it:
"You're really the Soul King?!"
"Yes."
Ye Qifeng nodded slightly.
A twelve-year-old Soul King? What kind of monster is this?
I originally thought he was at most a Soul Master, but I never expected him to be a Soul King.
No wonder the Spirit Hall hid his information and didn't release it to the outside world back then.
This talent is simply heaven-defying!
Looking at Ye Qifeng, who seemed indifferent and unconcerned, Dugu Bo swallowed hard.
This young man, only twelve years old, has already cultivated to the Soul King realm; his future achievements are absolutely limitless.
Moreover, he is the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall, with such a powerful background and such an extraordinary status and position.
如果
Dugu Bo seemed to have thought of something, and his dark green eyes suddenly flashed with a sharp light.
The thought arose, and he immediately flashed to Ye Qifeng's side, forcing a strange smile on his face, and whispered:
"Hey, kid Ye, you know I have a granddaughter named Dugu Yan. She's fifteen years old, about the same age as you. I think you two could get to know each other."
"What the heck?"
Ye Qifeng was full of questions. Why did you bring up your granddaughter?
Just as he was about to speak, he heard Dugu Bo continue:
"Let me tell you, my granddaughter, Dugu Yan, is absolutely stunning. Her personality and figure are also excellent. What do you think of me introducing her to you?"
Not very good.
Good grief, I think I understand now. You also want to sell your granddaughter and make me your grandson-in-law?
The problem is, I have absolutely no interest in your granddaughter, Dugu Yan.
Besides, is Dugu Yan really as stunningly beautiful as you say?
In my memory, Dugu Yan was a woman with a heroic spirit, not particularly beautiful, but with a somewhat bewitching charm.
Perhaps she does have a really good figure.
However, her personality doesn't seem to be very good; she's both proud and vengeful. Of course, her indifference towards Tang San is still quite admirable.
"Ahem... We'll talk about getting to know your granddaughter later."
Ye Qifeng coughed twice, not wanting to dwell on Dugu Yan's matter, and instead changed the subject, saying:
"I would like to trouble you, senior, to help me pick and collect the herbs near the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well."
Faced with a person as eccentric as Dugu Bo.
Neither agreeing nor refusing is a good thing.
The more you talk, the more excited he gets.
In situations like this, changing the subject is the right thing to do.
"Oh well."
Seeing that Ye Qifeng seemed to be subtly expressing his refusal, Dugu Bo was somewhat disappointed, but he would not give up his idea so easily.
In his view, although Ye Qifeng did not agree, he did not explicitly refuse either, which meant there was still hope.
If all else fails, wait until they're a few years older, then get them some medicine and force them into a fait accompli. Then they won't have to resist.
With this in mind, Dugu Bo decided that he must find an opportunity to bring his granddaughter over so that they could get to know each other first.
But for now, let's finish gathering the herbs for him.
At this moment, Dugu Bo suddenly felt a sharp gaze fall on him. Following his senses, he looked up and found that the gaze came from a ghost in a black robe.
"Oh no, I was so excited just now that I completely forgot about this guy."
Sensing the mocking look in the ghostly gaze, Dugu Bo felt a little embarrassed, but then he thought that he was fighting for his granddaughter's happiness, so what was there to be embarrassed about?
And so he instantly became self-righteous again.
Ghost knew perfectly well what Dugu Bo was up to, but he didn't say anything.
After all, His Highness the Holy Son is simply too outstanding.
There are quite a few people who covet His Highness the Holy Son. Along the way, countless women have tried to throw themselves at him.
Even Qian Renxue, the young master of their own Spirit Hall, seems to be attracted to the Holy Son.
Therefore, Gui Mei neither agreed nor disagreed with Dugu Bo's idea of bringing his granddaughter and the Holy Son together, but expressed understanding.
If he had a granddaughter, he would definitely make a similar choice as Dugu Bo.
Before picking herbs.
Ye Qifeng added a few words to Gui Mei and Dugu Bo:
"Elder Ghost, Senior Poison Douluo, if possible, when picking herbs, it would be best to leave the roots or seeds so that they can grow again in the future."
Ye Qifeng had no intention of doing anything foolish like draining the pond to catch all the fish.
After all, rare and precious materials are not easy to come by.
The native herbs in the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire require hundreds or thousands of years to grow, so each one harvested is one less available.
The medicinal herbs here are especially precious, each one is unique, and it may take millions of years for even one to grow.
If the roots or seeds are preserved, there may be a chance to create new miraculous medicinal herbs in the future.
Whether for ourselves or for future generations, we should always leave behind some memories and hopes.
"clear."
Upon hearing Ye Qifeng's order, Gui Mei and Dugu Bo responded in unison.
Then.
The group split up and, in the valley, picked the corresponding herbs according to the methods described in the scroll.
Dugu Bo went alone, while Gui Mei brought Rui Wen along. The three of them were responsible for picking high-quality and top-quality herbs.
Ye Qifeng, on the other hand, headed straight for the divine medicinal herbs.
He did not immediately pick the Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass and the Blazing Apricot Blossom, which were closest to the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire.
Instead, they set their sights on two other rare medicinal herbs.
That is it.
The king of flowers, the most exquisite of all, the Acacia Blossom.
And among flowers, the noblest, a fragrant and exquisite fairy-like product.
