166 Chapter 165 Convinced (2 in 1)

"Senior Dugu, then please excuse me."

Yang Wudi politely arched his hand.

Few spirit masters learnt medicine and pharmacology, and there were even fewer who were able to learn it to a high level of proficiency. Dugu Bo's expertise in making poisons was recognised in the continent, and it was a very rare opportunity for him to have the chance to interact with such a like-minded and same-level medicine refining master.

This was also one of the reasons why he was willing to accept the offer and consider joining the Skywalker Academy in the first place.

Furthermore, regarding Lin Manshan's level of pill refining, as well as the auxiliary cultivation pills he had made.

He was also quite curious about it too.

"It's fine, you won't be able to learn it anyway." Dugu Bo spoke in a bland tone.

Also ignoring the change in Yang Wudi's expression, he turned his head to look at Niu Gao, "Clan Leader Niu, refining pills is a fine and tedious job, and it might be rather boring and time-consuming. If you're not interested, I can ask instructor Shui Zilu next to me to take you around the academy, and in the meantime, tell you about the areas that the academy needs to be perfected. If there is a chance to cooperate, you will also have a goal in mind."

The academy is big, feel free to stroll around, as long as you can drag your feet and not go to the more important places.

Immediately, he gave Shui Zilu a look.

"Then I'll disturb you." Niu Gao also politely arched his hand.

He really didn't know how to refine pills, and going there would be a waste of time, and it would be awkward when he couldn't interject a few words in the communication between them.

Thus, the four people went out and split into two, each leaving on their own.

Not long after, Dugu Bo brought Yang Wudi to open the door and walked into the alchemy room.

With a sweep of his eyes, Yang Wudi's eyes instantly widened, staring at the purple swaying flowers on the table, unable to move his eyes.

"This is, Aromatic Silk Beauty Immortal Herb!" He subconsciously exclaimed.

"Clan Leader Yang, you're quite knowledgeable." Dugu Bo's eyes showed surprise, and then he pretended to sigh, "I won't hide it from you, I've been only able to survive all these years by relying on it."

No wonder, Aromatic Silk Beauty Immortal Herb is the nemesis of all poisons, although it can't be used directly to cure poisons, it can restrain the poisons. Dugu Bo would usually take it out and inhale the aroma to suppress the intense poisons in his body properly. Yang Wudi suppressed his inner excitement and nodded his head slightly.

"Senior Dugu, this luck of yours, it's really enviable." His tone was sour.

In his heart, he thought that Dugu Bo had asked Lin Manshan to place the Aromatic Silk Beauty Immortal Herb on display on purpose, he believed that it was intentional.

It had to be said that his heart was indeed moved.

The Aromatic Silk Beauty Immortal Herb could restrain all kinds of poisons and save one from toxins when refining medicines. Not only that, but the aroma it emits could also cause many medicines to mutate and exert greater efficacy. For their Breaking Clan, it could be considered a priceless treasure.

He swept his afterglow over the handsome young man who was arranging the medicinal herbs in order, as well as the rare medicinal herbs that were arranged on the table around the Aromatic Silk Beauty Immortal Herb.

I believe Lin Manshan's ability to refine pills with amazing medicinal effects that help in cultivation is also due to this. Inwardly, he secretly thought.

"It's not bad." Dugu Bo smiled and led Yang Wudi to continue to walk forward.

"Greetings, Senior Yang." Seeing the two approaching, Lin Manshan politely arched his hand.

Yang Wudi returned the salute in the form of a peer, "Greetings Junior Lin."

There is no limit of age when it comes to learning, the one who achieves is the one who is honoured, and since this was an exchange of pill refining, in his opinion, it was necessary to follow the etiquette of exploring learning.

"Alright, don't start all this nonsense." Dugu Bo raised his chin and turned his head to look at Lin Manshan.

"Man'er, are the herbs all prepared."

"Well, I can start anytime." Lin Manshan nodded, "This time, I'm preparing to refine a potion to strengthen the muscles and bones."

The Immortal Herb that Shui Yue'er had taken was an Origin Energy Immortal Grass that acted on her spirit energy, and the enhancement of her physical body was very small.

However, Shui Yue'er's martial soul is a beast martial soul, and the first few spirit skills are equipped in the direction of the Agility Attack system, so if she wants to perform perfectly in battle, she undoubtedly needs a certain amount of strength in her physical body. In addition, practising the Blinking Steps and Practising Jade Hands also required the meridians to be tough enough to hold up to the injection of spirit energy. On top of that, if she wanted to take the next piece of Origin Energy Immortal Grass as soon as possible, her physical body couldn't be poor either.

Therefore, there was really no room for pills to be withheld.

A potion that strengthens the muscles and bones, what's there to see in that? A trace of doubt flashed through Yang Wudi's eyes.

Dugu Bo's complexion remained unchanged as he nodded slightly, "Well, let's start straight away then."

"Hm." Lin Manshan nodded, his spirit power surged, and his right palm suddenly transformed into a jade-like texture under Yang Wudi's astonished gaze, he picked up a herb from the table and went to the alchemy furnace.

Soul power catalysed, green light filled the herb and slowly pushed it towards the mouth of the furnace.

Not long after.

"!!!?" Yang Wudi's expression changed drastically.

***

On the other side, Moon Pavilion.

"Xiao San, it's better for auntie to come with you." Tang Yuehua stood up from the sofa with a smile on her face, "Bai He is my uncle after all, and this time when he came to Heaven Dou City, as a niece, I really should go pay my respect."

After saying that, her expression turned slightly glum.

"In addition, since Yang Wudi and Niu Gao have already gone to Skywalker Academy, there's no guarantee that Dugu Bo wouldn't say something to them, and I'm afraid that it won't be easy to convince them. The best way is to attack them individually, Niu Gao has always had an excellent relationship with Tai Tan, so this is a good breakthrough. As long as we can succeed in convincing Niu Gao, with the help of the two of them, Bai He and Tai Tan, the chances of convincing Yang Wudi will undoubtedly be great."

"Well, Aunt, that's what I think too." Tang San said with a straight face.

Not long after, the two arrived at the Strength Clan.

When they walked into the guest hall, Bai He and Tai Tan who were sitting at one side drinking tea, both rose when they saw the two being brought in.

"Greetings uncle." Tang Yuehua pulled Tang San to approach in small steps, saluting cutely.

"Greetings granduncle." Tang San followed suit and saluted.

"Child, get up." Bai He hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, looking up and down, sighing under his breath, "Ai, I didn't expect Hao'er's child to have grown so big."

"Everyone, don't stand, sit down first." Tai Tan, who was standing at the side, interjected with a smile.

Tang Yuehua nodded and brought Tang San to a side seat to sit down, then a thick sorrow squeezed out of her face:

"Uncle, I'm really sorry for what happened back then. It's really because it happened so suddenly, and Father was already no longer around, so the clan had no choice but to decide to go into seclusion."

Bai He shook his head, "I never blamed Hao'er for that incident, I know his temperament, although he is impulsive, he would never do something so reckless because of his impulsiveness."

"There must be some special reason that caused him to have a deep hatred with the Martial Spirit Hall."

"Thank you uncle for understanding." Tang Yuehua hurriedly answered, then changed the topic, "Uncle, I'm sure you already know that Xiao San has recently created a Tang Sect"

Tang San interjected at the right time, displaying the hidden weapon, the Godly Zhuge Crossbow, earning an excited look on Bai He's face, who praised it again and again.

As they chatted, Bai He took the initiative to speak up:

"Old goat is a person who apart from cultivation, has only one hobby, and that's medicine refining techniques inherited from the Breaking Clan. He has an almost fanatical pursuit of refining various medicines. Therefore, if you want to persuade him, whether it's to move people with love or to convince people with strength, it's all little use, the best way is still to start with medicines."

After saying that, he pulled out a box from his spirit tool.

"This is a blood ginseng that I inadvertently obtained, which was originally prepared as a family heirloom for my Speed Clan, and was never shown in front of the old goat."

"Although I don't know the exact efficacy, I can tell that this is a very precious herb."

"Now in order to convince the old goat, it has to be brought out."

"This is truly making uncle spend a lot of expense." Tang Yuehua hurriedly thanked him.

She hadn't brought any rare medicinal herbs with her, and with Heaven Dou City being so far away from the clan, Bai He's herb was undoubtedly something that was urgently needed at the moment.

"No harm done." Bai He smiled, wrapped it in spirit power and slowly pushed it in front of Tang Yuehua.

"Many thanks, uncle, when I return to the clan next time, I will definitely make a separate compensation." Tang Yuehua's tone was solemn, and then she handed the box to Tang San on the side, this time, the subjugation work was centred on Tang San, so the medicinal herb was most appropriate for Tang San to deliver.

"Thank you, granduncle." Tang San followed to give his thanks, then slowly opened the jade box.

In the next second, his pupils shrunk violently, his eyes flashing with brilliance.

'Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng, surprisingly, it's the innate eighth-grade Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng!' Without budging, he re-covered the jade box, inwardly shocked beyond measure. Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng, a superb healing holy herb, complemented with the Yearning Hearbroken Red, it could drastically increase the body's self-healing ability. However, this was only its basic ability, the efficacy of the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng was in the word Blood Dragon, meaning blood energy like a dragon!

After consumption, the medicinal power will converge into the blood veins and flow through the limbs and bones, mobilising the blood energy of the whole body of the consumer, so that the consumer's blood and energy will flourish and boil like a furnace, quenching the whole body's blood and eliminating the impurities, so that the surface of the muscle will produce smoke, and ultimately achieve the enhancement of the physical body and greatly increase the strength of the energy.

In addition, the medicinal power can also be converted into cultivation, enhance strength, and can be said to be of infinite use.

And this plant in front of me, the age is at least five thousand years, absolutely classified among the immortal herb category.

In terms of efficacy, it's enough to be compared to Yearning Hearbroken Red.

The most crucial thing is that it doesn't conflict with the medicinal properties of the Snow Lotus I consumed before. If I can refine this Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng, I will definitely be able to break through to Spirit King in a short period of time, and the medicinal power will be enough to support my cultivation to Spirit Emperor. Such a divine medicine, how can I give it to Yang Wudi, that would be a waste... Thinking of this, Tang San carefully put it into his spirit tool and looked up at Bai He without changing his expression.

"Granduncle, this blood ginseng is indeed precious, moreover, it's exactly what grandnephew needs at the moment."

"I won't hide it from you, I also know some methods of refining medicines, and this blood ginseng can just be used as the main medicine to refine some potions that strengthen the essence and cultivate the vitality to aid in cultivation."

Is it possible that... Tang Yuehua instantly understood, and while she was shocked inwardly, her face was calm and relaxed, displaying a smile.

"In that case, there is also a snow lotus within the clan that is nearly 800 years old, later, we can just use the snow lotus as a gift to Clan Leader Yang instead of this blood ginseng as a token of our promise."

The century-old snow lotus was what the clan elders had subsequently found in the snowy mountains.

"An 800-year-old snow lotus!" Bai He was taken aback, then nodded slightly.

"That's fine, a snow lotus that has reached 800 years of age is also an extremely rare medicinal herb, it should be enough to impress the old goat."

Tang Yuehua nodded and began to bring the topic elsewhere.

A little bit of time passed, and soon it was noon.

"What's going on? Why aren't the old rhino and the old goat back yet? Wouldn't it be enough to just refuse, what's going on?"

Tai Tan turned his head to look at the gate, his brows furrowed, and his expression furrowed in displeasure.

"Dugu Bo is also a person who is proficient in refining medicines, it is said that his grandson-in-law Lin Manshan is also proficient in this, so perhaps they are exchanging ideas in the art of refining medicines. You also know about Old Goat, he is obsessed with pill refining." Bai He uttered his guess, then shook his head, "However, don't worry, Old Goat is not a person who doesn't know what's important. Moreover, there's still the old rhino watching."

"That's also true, with Old Goat's temperament, how he could be convinced so easily." Tai Tan's expression softened slightly and he nodded his head.

"Besides, it's not like he has met with Dugu Bo before, and he doesn't have much of a friendship with him."

After saying that, he turned back and smiled, "Forget about them for now, the time is already noon, let's eat first."

"Good." Tang Yuehua smiled and nodded, a brilliant aura flickering in her eyes.

***

In the afternoon, inside the alchemy room.

Lin Manshan's right palm was like jade as he drew a ball of medicinal liquid out of the blazing furnace and infused it into the porcelain bottle.

Then he dispersed his soul force and walked over to Yang Wudi, handing the porcelain bottle over, "Clan Leader Yang, you might as well take a look at it."

Yang Wudi showed a bitter smile and shook his head, "No need, Junior Lin's pill refining technique has entered the realm of perfection, Yang is far inferior."

Dugu Bo who was on the side smiled and raised his right hand to pat Yang Wudi's shoulder, "Brother Yang, don't be discouraged, Man'er's medicine refining technique is unique, even I can't learn it. However, with this skill of Man'er's, there is no shortage of medicinal prescriptions here." 

"What do you think? Brother Yang."

"As long as you join my Skywalker Academy, whether it be the Jade Hands that can be used in combat and to aid in refining medicines, or the newly developed medicinal formulas that Man'er has devised, I can hand them over to you for you to practice and for you to study. Including that Aromatic Silk Beauty Immortal Herb, you can use it anytime you want as well."

"The three of us are people who are obsessed with refining medicines, and together we can be considered like-minded. If you hang out with us, it's better than following those big old men from the Clear Sky Clan who only swing hammers and have no human feelings. I, Dugu Bo, can't guarantee anything else, but at least I won't abandon my own people."

"Brother Dugu, aren't you afraid that I'll go back and reveal this to the Clear Sky Clan?" Yang Wudi suddenly asked.

"Then your entire clan will definitely perish."

Dugu Bo's tone was flat, then he slightly smiled, "Moreover, I'm still quite accurate in reading people, you're not the kind of person who flatters and willingly serves as a slave, it suits my temperament, otherwise I wouldn't have invited you to watch Man'er refine medicine."

"." Yang Wudi instantly fell into silence.

"In addition, you and your clansmen usually refine medicine and have little protection against toxins, I'm afraid that your body has long been contaminated with toxins without you realising it, affecting your cultivation, and I'm afraid that this is also the reason why your spirit level will lag behind that of the Tai Tan. And as long as you join the academy, with Man'er's medical skills, wouldn't the toxins on you and your clan be solved in minutes?" Dugu Bo continued:

"Moreover, as long as you can find the right herbs, in the future, it won't be difficult to have Man'er refine medicines that can be used by you to aid in your cultivation."

"In that case, with your talent and martial soul quality, breaking through the Titled Douluo level in the future is also very possible."

"As I said before, relying on others is better than relying on yourself. When you break through the Titled Douluo level, who will dare to mess with you?"

At this time, Lin Manshan suddenly interjected, "Clan Leader Yang, there's also something that the junior has to say, I don't know if Clan Leader Yang would be interested in hearing it?"

"There's no harm in speaking, Junior Lin." About Lin Manshan's pill refining technique, Yang Wudi was already convinced.

"Saying it out might offend you, Clan Leader Yang, I'm not sure about that Tai Tan, but Bai He, it seems that he doesn't genuinely consider you a friend." Lin Manshan frowned slightly, "There is a Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng on Bai He, I don't know if Clan Leader Yang knows about it?"

During the rest time after extracting the medicinal herb essence, Magpie Bird flew in, and he already knew that Bai He had handed over the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng to Tang San.

"Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng!?" Yang Wudi was stunned.

"Well, it's also a Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng with an age of five thousand years, its efficacy is comparable to an immortal herb." Lin Manshan nodded, "However, Bai He doesn't seem to be aware of its use and is only using it as a collection, or else he'd absolutely be stronger than now."

"Junior Lin, may I ask how you learnt about this matter?" Yang Wudi's expression was cloudy.

"Of course we saw it." Dugu Bo blurted out, "Brother Yang, there's no need to doubt, that what Man'er said is absolutely true. Of course, I can't tell you the exact reason. This is a secret of the academy, and you are not joining the academy right now."

Upon hearing this, Yang Wudi's fists clenched, he knew that there was no need for Dugu Bo to lie at this time.

He and Bai He had been friends for decades! After the Speed Clan fell from grace, he could be said to have provided assistance year after year.

But what he got in return was treated with the defence against thieves.

At this time, Dugu Bo's words came again, "Brother Yang, looking at the way you are, that Bai He didn't treat you as a friend."

Lin Manshan interjected at the right time, "In addition, Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng has now been given to Tang San by Bai He. The original intention was for Tang San to use it to solicit you, as for whether Tang San will give it when you return, that's unknown."

It's only strange that he would give it, the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng medicinal properties didn't clash with the Snow Lotus, and eating it could drastically increase his strength.

Unfortunately, Tang San had Tang Hao following him around, otherwise, there would be some chance to snatch it. 

"Sure enough, it's still nephews and grandnephew who have more closeness." Dugu Bo sneered. Then he looked towards Yang Wudi, "Brother Yang, why don't you give it a try when you return to the Strength Clan later?"

Yang Wudi didn't say anything, he just arched his hand towards Lin Manshan, "Junior Lin, thank you for informing me."

After saying that, he turned his head towards Dugu Bo, "Brother Dugu, it's getting late, so it's time for Yang to take his leave."

Raising his head, he added another sentence.

"As for the matter of joining the academy, if Yang makes a decision, he will lead his clan to come."

"At that time, I will definitely entertain you with good wine and food, little brother." Dugu Bo smiled brightly, then stepped away, "Let's go, the medicine is also finished, let's go out together."
