89: Chapter 89 The Secret of the Immortal Herb, Hope Rekindled
"Teacher, I believe your theory cannot be wrong." Tang San walked to Yu Xiaogang's side and comforted him softly.
Ever since hearing about the incident with Ji Xuan, Yu Xiaogang had been hanging his head in silence.
Hearing Tang San's words, Yu Xiaogang slowly raised his head, his eyes still filled with confusion: "Little San, Teacher naturally firmly believes that my theory cannot be wrong. However, School Master Ning has a noble status, so his words should be true. Teacher has just been wondering, how did that youth named Ji Xuan manage to do it?"
Tang San said with a firm tone: "Teacher, that Ji Xuan must have found a rare Heaven And Earth Treasure to be able to break convention."
Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaogang asked in surprise: "Little San, are you telling the truth? Does such a thing really exist?"
Tang San nodded affirmatively: "I once accidentally learned of a type of Heaven And Earth Treasure known as an Immortal Plant, which possesses the ability to steal the creation of Heaven and Earth. I wonder... Teacher, have you ever heard of it?"
Tang San looked at Yu Xiaogang expectantly, hoping he could provide some clues about the Immortal Plant.
After all, the Douluo Continent far surpassed his previous life, and the possibility of Immortal Plants existing was extremely high.
Yu Xiaogang frowned, pondered for a moment, and finally shook his head: "I have read many books, but I have never heard of such a Heaven And Earth Treasure as an Immortal Plant."
"Alright." Tang San shook his head in disappointment, a trace of imperceptible gloom flashing in his eyes.
He shouldn't have held any hope for his teacher, Yu Xiaogang.
Before, he had repeatedly claimed to have a way to save Xiao Wu, but in the end, he returned in defeat. Thinking of this, a sharp pain pierced Tang San's heart.
He couldn't help but recall the scene of his first hunt for a Spirit Beast; if he hadn't possessed the secret techniques of the Tang Sect from his previous life, he would have likely died in the Spirit Beast Forest long ago.
And now, asking about the whereabouts of an Immortal Plant, this teacher who claimed to be invincible in theory was again completely ignorant.
Tang San's disappointment with Yu Xiaogang deepened.
But he quickly collected his thoughts; no matter what, the person before him was ultimately his teacher.
"Little San, what is an Immortal Plant?" Oscar, who was on the side, leaned over curiously.
Dai Mubai and the others were also attracted by this unfamiliar term.
Seeing that everyone was curious, Tang San took a deep breath and decided to reveal some information.
Dai Mubai and Ning Rongrong both had decent backgrounds; perhaps one of them knew some relevant clues.
Immediately, he spoke slowly: "An Immortal Plant is a treasure born from the gathering of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi and the essence of the sun and moon, often growing in extreme environments. After consuming it, it can cleanse the marrow and cut the bones, strengthen the foundation and cultivate the origin, increase Soul Power without side effects, and even..."
He paused, then said words that shocked everyone, "...even possibly promote Spirit evolution."
"What?!"
"Increase Soul Power without side effects?"
"Spirit evolution?!"
Everyone gasped almost simultaneously, their faces filled with disbelief.
At this moment, the atmosphere on the Shrek Academy playground changed completely.
The existence of the Immortal Plant was like opening a door to a whole new World in front of everyone.
"Little San, are you telling the truth? Does such a thing really exist in the World?"
Dai Mubai was very excited; if this were true, then he would have hope of catching up to his older brother.
Although Zhu Zhuqing was silent, her beautiful eyes also burst with radiance. She craved power, she craved to change that established cruel fate.
Yu Xiaogang grabbed Tang San's arm abruptly, "Little San! Are you sure that Immortal Plant can really increase Soul Power and even cause Spirit evolution?!"
If he could obtain an Immortal Plant, he could break the shackles, break through that damned thirtieth rank, and get rid of the name of trash!
And when Ning Rongrong heard about Spirit evolution, her heart was already filled with stormy waves.
Looking at everyone's shocked and eager gazes, Tang San nodded: "I remember... there seem to be a few that are particularly compatible with your Spirits."
He turned his gaze to Ma Hongjun: "Fatty, there is a type called Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower, which has the possibility of making your Spirit evolve into a true Phoenix. Moreover, that thing of yours might even be able to grow back."
"Re... real Phoenix?! And can..."
Ma Hongjun's high-pitched voice suddenly rose, becoming abnormally harsh due to excitement.
He grabbed Tang San, "Third Brother! You really didn't lie to me? That Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower can really... can let me..."
Ma Hongjun was incoherent with excitement; as a man, his physical disability was the deepest pain in his heart.
And Spirit evolution was something he didn't even dare to dream about!
At this moment, Tang San's words were like a beam of light in a dark World, allowing him to see hope.
Tang San nodded affirmatively to him, then looked at Ning Rongrong.
As one of the Upper Three Sects, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's intelligence network must far exceed that of ordinary people; perhaps they would know some clues about the Immortal Plant.
Ning Rongrong noticed Tang San's gaze, her earlobes slightly reddened, and she subconsciously avoided his gaze.
Tang San didn't mind and said: "Rongrong, among the Immortal Plants, there is one called the silk tulip. If you consume this Immortal Plant, it might just allow your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda to evolve."
Hearing this, Ning Rongrong's beautiful eyes immediately lit up.
The evolution of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, wasn't this what her father had pursued all his life?
"Third Brother." Ning Rongrong's eyes flashed with anticipation, "Can you draw the appearance of the Immortal Plant? So I can ask my father to mobilize the power of the Sect to search for it."
"Of course." Tang San agreed.
The reason he revealed the secret of the Immortal Plant was to use everyone's background and power to find clues.
As long as there was a glimmer of opportunity to increase his strength, he would grasp it firmly.
Tang San was just about to prepare to draw the diagram when he was stopped by Yu Xiaogang.
"Wait, Little San, you just mentioned that Immortal Plants often grow in extreme environments?"
"Yes, Teacher, the more extreme the place, the more likely it is to nurture such Heaven And Earth Treasure."
A complex light flashed in Yu Xiaogang's eyes, "Speaking of extreme environments, I happen to know of a Forbidden Ground where thunder never ceases all year round."
"Teacher, where is it?" Tang San asked with anticipation in his eyes.
Yu Xiaogang sighed softly, "The Forbidden Ground of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, Thunder Canyon."
"Xiaogang, you..." Flender wanted to say something but stopped, he knew Yu Xiaogang's past very well.
"It's fine." Yu Xiaogang looked at Flender and shook his head slightly.
Tang San frowned slightly, "Teacher, since it is the Forbidden Ground of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, even if we know the location, we probably won't be able to enter, right?"
"Little San, Teacher is actually a member of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. My father is the current Sect Master."
As the son of Yu Yuanzhen, yet trapped at the twenty-ninth rank for his whole life, this had always been the deepest shame in his heart.
Whenever he thought of his father's disappointed gaze, or the whispers of his clansmen, he wished he could stay far away from that suffocating place.
But in the face of the possibility of Spirit evolution, the humiliations of the past suddenly became insignificant.
Even if he didn't have an Immortal Plant, as long as Tang San could obtain one and thereby increase his strength.
Then he could also rely on Tang San to completely get rid of the name of trash.
