Inside the Medicine Garden, various exotic flowers and rare herbs bloomed in competition.
Every time Quan Yi came here, he would marvel at the wonders of nature.
Dugu Bo, who had been walking in front, stopped his steps upon reaching the Medicine Garden.
He turned to face Quan Yi and Huo Wu, pointing his hand towards the Medicine Garden behind him.
"As we part ways, I won't say much. Seeing as you've been helping me prepare meals these past few days, go over there and pick two herbs that catch your eye.
Consider it a farewell gift from me."
Dugu Bo's words seemed very generous, his expression incredibly calm, revealing an indifferent look.
The demeanor he displayed was not forced.
Although the herbs here were priceless treasures, they were truly nothing to that small group of Titled Douluo standing at the pinnacle of the continent.
Moreover, after Dugu Bo resolved the flaws in his toxic abilities, the importance of these herbs to him greatly diminished.
However, even so, Dugu Bo's decision to share his Medicine Garden was not an easy one.
It contained his care and regard for Quan Yi and Huo Wu.
Quan Yi understood this, but when he saw Dugu Bo deliberately using a 'ridiculous' excuse to hide his true feelings,
Quan Yi couldn't help but chuckle.
Dugu Bo, who had been expecting Quan Yi to be moved to the point of prostration, was displeased to see Quan Yi actually laughing.
"What exactly are you laughing at, brat?"
Facing Dugu Bo's question, Quan Yi replied with a smile, "I've wanted to say for a long time that Senior's personality is too tsundere.
Clearly, you're concerned about us, yet you insist on finding a non-existent excuse to cover it up.
However, as the saying goes, 'When elders bestow, one dares not refuse.'
Thank you for your gift, Senior, then I won't be polite."
To express his gratitude, Quan Yi solemnly clasped his fist and bowed, and Huo Wu quickly followed suit, bowing to Dugu Bo in thanks.
Then, Quan Yi directly took Huo Wu's small hand and began selecting suitable medicinal herbs in the Medicine Garden.
Dugu Bo was stunned in place, muttering, "Tsundere, tsun, dere?"
Although he didn't know the exact meaning of the word, he roughly understood that it wasn't a good term by combining the meanings of the two characters.
Just as he was repeatedly pondering, Quan Yi had already led Huo Wu to a soft and delicate red-leaved herb.
Upon closer inspection of its appearance, one could see that the top of the leaves was shaped like a cockscomb, and its veins were actually scarlet-gold.
Just by getting close to it, the two could feel the pure Fire Element aura released by this herb.
Quan Yi pointed to the herb and introduced it to Huo Wu, "This is called Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower, a greatly nourishing Fire-attribute herb.
According to records, this item generally only exists in volcanoes with intense Fire Element, Flame Veins, and other places. Consuming it will increase Soul Power, purify flames, and also has the effect of rebirth.
In terms of compatibility, this one will help you the most.
Let's choose this one as the first."
Huo Wu carefully examined the herb, and after a long while, she seemed to have thought of something, suddenly exclaiming, "Isn't this the legendary Phoenix Blood Grass?"
"Phoenix Blood Grass, you know this herb too?"
Quan Yi had thought that Huo Wu wouldn't recognize it, but from her surprised expression, it was clear that she knew something about it.
Huo Wu nodded excitedly, explaining to Quan Yi, "I once saw a related description in the family's secret collection of books.
Legend has it that a long time ago, a powerful Fire-attribute Soul Master accidentally encountered a Five-Colored Spirit Chicken with a trace of Phoenix bloodline while searching for Fire-attribute Soul Beasts.
The Five-Colored Spirit Chicken's bloodline was extraordinary, but because the Phoenix bloodline within it was too thin, it was at the bottom of the Soul Beast hierarchy.
Its average cultivation could only be maintained at the thousand-year level at most, and rarely broke through ten thousand years.
However, the senior at the time was surprised to discover a Five-Colored Spirit Chicken with a cultivation base of over ten thousand years.
The curious predecessor followed the Five-Colored Spirit Chicken and eventually discovered the Phoenix Blood Grass in its nest.
It is speculated that the Five-Colored Spirit Chicken was able to break through the limitations of its racial talent and successfully enter the ranks of ten-thousand-year Soul Beasts because it had absorbed the aura emitted by the Phoenix Blood Grass for many years.
At the time, how could that predecessor miss such a treasure? He immediately planned to kill the Soul Beast and seize this Fire-attribute herb.
However, unfortunately, just as he was about to snatch it, the Phoenix Blood Grass happened to fully mature and was directly swallowed by the Five-Colored Spirit Chicken.
That wasn't the end of it. After consuming the herb, the Five-Colored Spirit Chicken actually transformed into a scarlet Phoenix and flew into the distant sky.
It was because of this anecdote that the herb was named Phoenix Blood Grass.
Since then, although countless descendants have searched for this herb one after another, none have found it. Therefore, this matter has gradually become a legend, and no one believes in its authenticity anymore.
However, it seems that the legend may be true."
Quan Yi had never heard the legend that Huo Wu recounted.
His understanding of the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower came from Yun Qiong's compilation of texts passed down from ancient times.
Combined with Huo Wu's information, it can be known that this item has appeared in human sight more than once in history.
However, perhaps due to its scarcity, few people know of its existence.
Moreover, although the record Huo Wu recounted was somewhat whimsical, Quan Yi felt that it was very likely to be true.
Because, under the observation of his Scarlet Dragon Eye, he observed energy fluctuations similar to those of the Wutong, that is, the Phoenix, from the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower.
This is also the reason why Quan Yi specifically chose this herb.
He felt that this herb might also help the Wutong recover its vitality.
"Well, your boy's vision is indeed good, Xiao Wu, this is indeed the most suitable herb for you.
If the rumors you mentioned are true, after absorbing the herb, it may also cause your External Soul Bone to undergo a transformation."
At this time, Dugu Bo's voice came from behind.
He originally wanted to give the two some pointers, but it seemed that Quan Yi and Huo Wu didn't need his guidance.
Quan Yi squatted down, observed the energy flow of the herb with his Scarlet Dragon Eye, and then gently picked the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower without damaging it.
"Xiao Wu, you should refine it here.
Remember, do not chew or swallow it. If this herb is slightly damaged, the medicinal properties inside will rapidly dissipate.
You only need to hold it in your mouth and absorb the energy inside with your Soul Power."
Dugu Bo spoke to remind Huo Wu of the correct method of absorption.
This was actually the result of his research over the past few years.
Of course, Quan Yi already knew this. The two of them had already roughly studied the characteristics of these herbs through information sharing.
Huo Wu thanked Dugu Bo after hearing this, took the herb from Quan Yi's hand, and went directly to the Blazing Yang Spring to begin her absorption.
