23: Chapter 23 Records of Ancient Treasures, Speculations on Alchemy with Immortal Herbs

But Yun Yuan had no idea to what extent Yue Guan's love for flowers and plants had reached; it could be said it had reached a state 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 him a strong feeling of being kindred Spirits.

Looking at Yun Yuan, a faint smile appeared at the corner of Yue Guan's mouth, and then he began to speak:

"Your Highness the Saint, since Your Highness wants to learn about flowers and plants, this subordinate will definitely make Your Highness the Saint know all the flowers and plants in this world."

"Now, please Your Highness the Saint accompany this subordinate into the estate. My estate has hundreds to thousands of kinds of flowers and plants, which is enough for Your Highness the Saint to study carefully for a period of time."

As soon as his voice fell, Yue Guan invited Yun Yuan into his estate, and Yun Yuan closely followed his steps, entering this estate that could be called a sea of flowers.

Yue Guan's estate was different from ordinary people's; most of his estate was a sea of flowers, planted with exotic flowers and rare herbs, with a quiet environment and rich floral fragrance.

Walking along the narrow steps all the way in for more than a dozen meters, Yun Yuan had already seen flowers and plants of various shapes. Estimating it, there should be no less than a hundred species.

Arriving at the pavilion in the center of the sea of flowers, Yun Yuan and Yue Guan finally sat down. Then, Yue Guan couldn't wait to introduce the exotic flowers and plants in his garden to Yun Yuan.

As time passed, Yun Yuan also got to know many kinds of flowers and plants. Among them, Yun Yuan also saw many flowers and plants that could be used as medicine in Yue Guan's estate.

"It seems that besides Immortal Plants, I can also learn about other flowers and plants that can be used for medicinal purposes."

Listening and listening, Yun Yuan secretly made up his mind in his heart that besides Immortal Plants, he should appropriately learn about other useful flowers and plants.

Several hours passed.

At this time, Yun Yuan also began to mention the purpose of his visit. He looked toward Yue Guan, his eyes carrying burning passion and anticipation.

"Elder Ju, I once learned about the most precious category of flowers and plants in ancient books. This category is called Immortal Plants. I wonder if Elder Ju has any understanding of them."

"Coming this time, what I am most interested in are those legendary Immortal Plants."

Hearing this, the fanaticism in Yue Guan's eyes became even more intense. Immortal Plants—that was his lifelong pursuit, and his Spirit, Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, was a type of Immortal Plant.

His lifelong dream was to obtain a legendary Immortal Plant. If he could obtain a Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, Yue Guan dared not imagine what kind of excitement he would turn into.

"Immortal Plants, ah, those are the dream grass of countless flower and plant lovers."

"Since Your Highness is also keen on Immortal Plants, how could I reject Your Highness's wishes?"

"Please wait a moment, Your Highness. This subordinate will go get something and hand it to Your Highness. By then, Your Highness will know the beauty of the supreme art of flowers and plants in the world."

After speaking, Yue Guan's figure disappeared at the pavilion, not knowing where he went.

But he walked fast and returned fast. Not long after, he hurried back to the pavilion holding a thick book in his hand.

Looking at the book in Yue Guan's hand, Yun Yuan already had a guess in his heart. He couldn't help standing up, his eyes tightly staring at the book in Yue Guan's hand, and the fanaticism in his eyes grew increasingly intense.

Coming before Yun Yuan, Yue Guan raised the book in his hand with a face full of pride. Following closely, he proudly introduced it to Yun Yuan.

"Your Highness, this is this subordinate's lifelong masterpiece. I named it myriad ages precious herb record."

"Ever since I began collecting flowers and plants, I have spent countless amounts of time to create this myriad ages precious herb record. I believe this is the proudest thing in my life."

"This myriad ages precious herb record, I dare guarantee, records nine-tenths of the precious flowers and plants on the continent, which naturally includes those most precious, top-grade Immortal Grade flowers and plants."

"Moreover, this myriad ages precious herb record also records in detail the appearance and utility of each precious flower and plant."

After the introduction, the smile on Yue Guan's face could not fade for a long time. Seeing this myriad ages precious herb record, a feeling of pride spontaneously arose in his heart.

Throughout the ages, among those who loved flowers and plants, who could achieve the degree that he, Yue Guan, did?

The answer is, never has there been!

After looking at his masterpiece for quite a while, Yue Guan then reluctantly handed this book to Yun Yuan.

"Your Highness, this book is this subordinate's lifelong masterpiece. Since Your Highness is curious about Immortal Grade flowers and plants, this subordinate can lend it to Your Highness to study carefully, but remember, do not damage it."

Hearing this, Yun Yuan patted his own chest, promising Yue Guan with joy in his eyes.

"Elder Ju, please rest assured, I will definitely take good care of this myriad ages precious herb record. A few days later, after I finish studying, I will definitely send it back to you intact."

Regarding this myriad ages precious herb record, Yun Yuan was extremely satisfied. As expected of the person who loved flowers and plants the most in the entire Douluo Continent, Yue Guan was truly a decent person.

When he searched for the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well in the future, he would reward Yue Guan with an Immortal Grade flower and plant to repay the kindness of gifting the book today.

After obtaining this myriad ages precious herb record, Yun Yuan couldn't wait to return to his palace to study this precious herb knowledge frame by frame.

Then, after chatting with Yue Guan for a few words, he left Yue Guan's estate, returning towards the direction of his palace with a face full of joy.

Today's harvest was full, truly happy.

Behind the Supreme Pontiff Palace, inside Yun Yuan's palace.

The moment he returned, Yun Yuan lay on the bed, enthusiastically flipping through this myriad ages precious herb record lent to him by Yue Guan.

Just as Yue Guan described, almost all precious flowers and plants on the continent were described in this book of his.

"eight-petaled immortal orchid, Immortal Grade flower and plant.

Appearance: Eight-petaled snow-white orchid, crystal-clear and elegant, clear fragrance, gold-trimmed and jade-adorned, it can last for a thousand years without withering.

Utility: Mild and mellow medicinal properties, consolidating the foundation and cultivating the origin, clearing Impurities in the body, enhancing Mental Energy."

...

Seeing the content of Immortal Grade flowers and plants on the myriad ages precious herb record, Yun Yuan's interest became even greater, curiously viewing the appearance and utility of these Immortal Plants.

When reading the original Douluo work in his past life, he basically skimmed through it once, and without the ability of photographic memory, how could he remember the appearance and utility of Immortal Grade flowers and plants.

But now, possessing this myriad ages precious herb record, along with his Heaven-Defying talent, remembering these Immortal Grade flowers and plants was simply a breeze.

Even for the remaining precious flowers and plants in the myriad ages precious herb record, Yun Yuan could roughly achieve photographic memory. This talent was truly great, surpassing his past life by countless times.

After several hours, Yun Yuan finally finished reading this thick book.

"Elder Ju, I truly must thank you properly."

In this viewing lasting several hours, Yun Yuan not only became well-acquainted with the categories of Immortal Plants, but he also roughly knew the precious flowers and plants on the continent that could be used as medicine.

After understanding the knowledge of precious herbs, Yun Yuan began to make plans for the future.

Those Immortal Plants of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well—he, Yun Yuan, was determined to obtain them, but after getting the Immortal Plants, which one should he ingest so that the effect could be maximized?

Or rather, take multiple ones at the same time, but how to solve the problem of drug resistance?

At this time, Yun Yuan gradually fell into deep thought. He was thinking, and gradually, a strange idea popped up in Yun Yuan's heart.

"Can I use Immortal Plants for Alchemy?"
