Chapter 43 The Sequel to Immortal Items
After the four returned to the Broken Clan, they each went about their own business.
Yang Zhentian had been missing for over a month, and as a young clan leader, he had many things to handle. Yang Wudi and Yang Wushuang, on the other hand, needed to deal with the medicinal herbs they had gathered, and also figure out how to handle the Grade Nine Purple Ganoderma they possessed.
After returning home, Niu Jinfeng immediately hugged her youngest daughter, clearly doting on her. Then, she secretly led Yang Podi into a secret room: "Podi, the medicinal herb garden you and your father found has been dealt with. The entire garden is hidden away; no one should be able to find it again. This is the key; keep it safe. I only made three keys—one for your father, one for your two grandfathers."
"To get in, you need to activate a special mechanism. I'll now teach you how to activate it and other precautions."
Niu Jinfeng then gave Yang Podi a detailed description of the current location and hiding method of the Ice and Fire Eyes, and explained how to activate the mechanism.
"Son, I heard you found this medicinal garden, and you even found a precious Earth Dragon Golden Melon for your mother and a ten-thousand-year-old Earth Spirit Mushroom for your grandfather. You truly are my son. I haven't spoiled you for nothing. I'm already a level 73 Soul Saint now. Next time we go hunting for Soul Rings, Mom will take you."
"Mom, these are all minor matters. In the future, you should also be careful to keep the location of the herb garden a secret."
"Silly child, do you need to teach me these things? Mom has probably seen far more than you have."
The two continued talking for a while before leaving the secret room.
These past few days, Yang Podi has been feeling unsafe about the rare medicinal herbs he has in his possession. He keeps them in a soul tool, and it would be troublesome if someone were to take them all.
So he secretly devised another soul tool, which was smaller and could be kept close to his body.
Yang Podi put all the precious medicinal herbs into this small soul tool. The current waist-protecting soul tool only contains some ordinary herbs, and at most some ten-thousand-year-old tonics, including ten-thousand-year-old Smilax glabra, ten-thousand-year-old Paeonia lactiflora, snow silkworm, and cinnabar lotus.
After lunch that day, Yang Podi continued to study medicine-making in his grandfather's alchemy room. Knowing that his father and two grandfathers were still there, he thought they had something to attend to and planned to leave alone, but they called him back.
Yang Zhentian then spoke up: "Son, when we went to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well last time, while I was engrossed in the Fragrant Silk Immortal Treasure, you seemed to have dug up quite a few good things. Why don't we show them to your two grandfathers?"
Upon hearing this, Yang Podi couldn't help but think to himself: Did Dad sell out the news that I have a rare medicinal herb? If he had taken it out, given the personalities of his two grandfathers, it would have been a miracle if he had gotten it back. Luckily, he was prepared.
"Dad, didn't I take everything I dug out? All I have left are some common medicinal herbs."
The three men's faces darkened upon hearing this, especially Yang Zhentian. He knew exactly what good things his son possessed, and now his son was denying it outright. How was he going to explain this to his father?
Yang Wudi couldn't hold back any longer: "Podi, just take it out, grandpa just wants to take a look."
Upon hearing this, Yang Podi pondered to himself, realizing that his father hadn't revealed the specifics. His eyes lit up. "Grandpa," he said, "this is my soul tool. Take a look. I gave all the other good stuff to my dad. I remember he said my strength was too low and he wanted to keep it safe for me."
After speaking, Yang Podi took out many jade boxes from his soul tool. There were indeed many rare spiritual medicines, but there was no trace of any immortal herbs.
However, among the medicinal herbs that were taken out, there were actually ten-thousand-year-old Smilax glabra and white peony, as well as a huge snow silkworm and cinnabar lotus, which looked dozens of times larger than those on the market, and they seemed to be about to become spirits.
Yang Podi even took out his wrist guard soul tool, as if to say, "You can search us yourselves."
Yang Wudi and Yang Wushuang carefully examined the wristband soul tool and found nothing extra. Then they both turned to look at Yang Zhentian.
Yang Zhentian's face darkened further. He had already tried to shift the blame to his son, but his son had anticipated this and had thrown the blame back at him.
At this moment, Yang Wudi glared at his son, Zhentian, and said, "Zhentian, you unfilial son! I just wanted to take a look, and you won't even let me?"
Upon hearing this, Yang Zhentian couldn't help but curse his son countless times in his heart: This little devil is really too much of a troublemaker.
Seeing that his father and second uncle looked ready to attack at any moment, and seeing that his son looked indifferent, he had no choice but to take out a few jade boxes from his soul tool. Inside were the immortal herbs that had been given to him, including the Love-Sickness Heartbreak Red, the Eight-Petaled Immortal Orchid, and the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower. He didn't plan to take out the others.
Yang Wudi and Yang Wushuang snatched the jade box and carefully examined the celestial items inside.
"This Acacia Heartbreak Red truly lives up to its reputation as a divine treasure among celestial herbs, a veritable king of flowers, indeed exuding elegance and nobility. It is said to have the power to bring the dead back to life and heal flesh from bones."
"This eight-petaled fairy orchid has a mild and mellow medicinal property, is easily absorbed, and can strengthen the body and remove impurities. It truly deserves to be called the best among orchids."
"This Phoenix Sunflower with Cockscomb truly lives up to its reputation as a fire-attribute celestial product. It has the effect of greatly replenishing pure yang and can significantly enhance the soul power of the user. For fire-attribute soul masters, it is a treasure."
The two of them held the three immortal herbs and couldn't help but praise them. Although they weren't as crazy as when they got the Fragrant Silk Immortal Herb, their expressions were still very longing, somewhat like Chrysanthemum Douluo's expression in the original work, as if they had a kind of fanatical longing.
Yang Wudi and Yang Wushuang held the three rare medicinal herbs tightly, reluctant to let go.
"Zhentian, do you have any other rare medicinal herbs? Show them to us. Don't worry, we won't take yours."
Yang Zhentian couldn't help but mentally scoff again: "Don't worry? What a load of crap! We might not even be able to get those three plants back, how could we possibly get them back?"
"Dad, Second Uncle, we really only got these three celestial herbs. If you don't believe me, just ask Po Di."
After speaking, Yang Zhentian looked at his son, his eyes seemingly carrying a subtle warning.
Yang Podi chimed in, "Grandpa, Second Grandpa, these celestial herbs are truly rare. Each one is priceless. How could they be so easy to obtain? Even the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well would be quite remarkable to have so many!"
Yang Wudi and Yang Wushuang both pondered for a moment: "Immortal-grade medicinal herbs are indeed rare. After all, they can be said to have seized the creation of heaven and earth. It's quite good to have these few. Zhentian, your second uncle and I will study these three immortal-grade medicinal herbs for a while, and then we'll return them to you."
Before Yang Zhentian could react, he put away the three immortal herbs.
Seeing this, Yang Podi quickly retrieved his soul tool and his own herbs, making both grandfathers burst into laughter.
As for his own father, his face is now as black as the bottom of a pot. This is such unfair treatment! He won't take anything from his grandson, but he's taken everything from his own.
When Yang Zhentian and his son Yang Podi left the alchemy room, Yang Zhentian looked somewhat displeased: "Podi, you really tricked me this time. How are you going to make it up to me? Give me one of those immortal herbs you hid."
Yang Podi didn't indulge his father: "Dad, what are you saying? The two grandfathers are just taking it to study for a while, they'll return it to you soon. Don't worry about that."
After saying that, he left without looking back.
