Chapter 164: Yearning Heartbroken Red and a Love-Struck Brain
After Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan both went to absorb their Spirit Bone.
Lu Chen said to Xiao Wu and Zhuqing beside him, "Xiao Wu, Zhuqing, come with me; we are going to pick some Immortal Herbs."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Wu and Zhuqing exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with anticipation.
Through Lu Chen’s introduction, they already knew that these so-called Immortal Herbs were treasures comparable to ten-thousand-year Spirit Bones.
Once absorbed, these Immortal Herbs could help them increase their strength without any side effects.
Ever since Xiao Wu and Zhuqing learned that Dugu Yan was a Spirit Emperor with level 62 spirit power, their hearts had been filled with a sense of urgency.
They both desperately wanted to improve their strength and catch up to Dugu Yan as soon as possible, so as not to be suppressed by her all the time.
They followed behind Lu Chen, walking towards the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
Lu Chen walked in front, looking left and right. Although they were there to pick Immortal Herbs, he had actually already decided which ones to give to Xiao Wu and Zhuqing.
For Xiao Wu, it was the Yearning Heartbroken Red from the original plot, but this was a flower of ultimate affection; it required the blood of true love to be poured onto it before it could be plucked!
Whether or not Xiao Wu could truly obtain it would depend on whether her feelings were sincere!
However, there shouldn’t be any problem; Xiao Wu was a love-struck fool. Once she had set her heart on someone, she could even sacrifice her life for him.
Yearning Heartbroken Red and a love-struck brain were the perfect match.
For Zhuqing, it was the narcissus jade muscle bone from the original plot. This Immortal Herb could nourish tendons and strengthen bones, clear the eight extraordinary meridians, and significantly enhance the user’s Cultivate speed.
Of course, there was another reason: this Immortal Herb had beautifying effects, which could make the user’s skin appear to have a jade-like luster.
It allowed one to achieve a transformation of "skin like snow and fat, enchanting to the extreme."
This could also be considered a little bit of selfishness on Lu Chen’s part.
Zhuqing was already his woman, so he naturally wanted to see her become even more beautiful.
Before long, Lu Chen found the location of the Yearning Heartbroken Red.
The Yearning Heartbroken Red grew on a pitch-black stone; this pitch-black stone was called the Wujue Stone.
Lu Chen bent down and picked up the Wujue Stone. The Yearning Heartbroken Red was a white flower growing on this Wujue Stone; it looked delicate and weak, but in reality, it possessed terrifying medicinal power that could bring the dead back to life and regrow flesh on bones.
Lu Chen turned to look at Xiao Wu and Zhuqing: "Xiao Wu, come try this Immortal Herb. This Immortal Herb is called Yearning Heartbroken Red, and it is the true king of Immortal Herbs."
"Its medicinal power is extremely terrifying; it has the effect of bringing the dead back to life and regrowing flesh on bones. It can comprehensively improve the user’s physical fitness and can increase one’s spirit power by at least ten levels."
"However, this king of Immortal Herbs is also known as the flower of ultimate affection; it requires the blood of true love to be poured onto it before it can be plucked."
"Come forward, spit out a mouthful of blood from your heart, and pour it onto the stamen of the Yearning Heartbroken Red. As long as your feelings are passionate and sincere enough, this Yearning Heartbroken Red will recognize you as its master."
Lu Chen didn’t tell any boring love stories. If Xiao Wu got too caught up in being a love-struck fool, even if she plucked the Yearning Heartbroken Red, she might not be willing to consume it, and then the Immortal Herb would have been picked for nothing.
Upon hearing Lu Chen’s words, Xiao Wu walked over with burning eyes. Looking at the white flower growing on the Wujue Stone, she felt a strange sensation in her heart.
The flower of ultimate affection! Hearing this nickname, Xiao Wu fell in love with the Yearning Heartbroken Red from the bottom of her heart.
She didn’t hesitate too much, reversing her spirit power to strike her heart chambers. With a swoosh, her face turned pale, and at the same time, she opened her mouth to spit out a mouthful of blood from her heart.
That scalding hot blood from her heart dripped onto the white flower, immediately causing the white flower to bloom with a red light.
Under the illumination of the red light, Xiao Wu felt a trance in her mind. In her mind, memories of every little thing with Lu Chen surfaced uncontrollably.
Scenes seemed to flash before her eyes, the entire process of how she and Lu Chen met.
And among these constantly flashing scenes, it finally settled on a teahouse in Soto City.
Just when Xiao Wu knew that Lu Chen had seen through her true form, she was filled with despair, even imagining the scene of herself being killed by someone, and then having her spirit ring and Spirit Bone absorbed.
However, even though Lu Chen discovered her true form, he had no intention of harming her; he even gave her a Substitute Blue Silver Emperor, allowing her to mask her Spirit Beast aura.
For Xiao Wu, this was undoubtedly an Ascension from Hell to Heaven, and the huge ups and downs of her emotions made her deeply engrave Lu Chen in her heart.
It was at that moment that Xiao Wu completely fell for Lu Chen, developing deep feelings for him.
Even later, when Zhuqing and Dugu Yan appeared by Lu Chen’s side, Xiao Wu’s feelings for Lu Chen never changed.
This was the power of a love-struck brain!
In an instant, the white Yearning Heartbroken Red was quickly dyed a vibrant red, like fresh blood, and it emitted a golden-red luster.
The Yearning Heartbroken Red fell from the Wujue Stone, but it didn’t fall to the ground; instead, it fell into Xiao Wu’s arms.
Xiao Wu touched the Yearning Heartbroken Red with great surprise and joy. Her slender fingers gently brushed against the petals of the Yearning Heartbroken Red, and that feeling of Bloodline connection made a smile involuntarily appear on her pale face.
The Yearning Heartbroken Red recognizing her as its master was undoubtedly the best validation of her sincere feelings.
Seeing this, the smile on Lu Chen’s face grew even richer. Indeed, Yearning Heartbroken Red and a love-struck brain were the perfect match.
He smiled and said, "Xiao Wu, congratulations on successfully plucking the Yearning Heartbroken Red. Now, consume it and use it to improve your strength."
Xiao Wu felt a bit reluctant; she actually wanted to keep the Yearning Heartbroken Red as a memento, but thinking of the threat from Dugu Yan, her eyes immediately became sharp.
She replied softly, "Okay!"
She thought to herself: ’Yearning Heartbroken Red, since you have recognized my sincere feelings, please lend me a hand, increase my strength, and let me catch up to that bad woman Dugu Yan as soon as possible.’
After Lu Chen instructed Xiao Wu on the precautions for consuming the Yearning Heartbroken Red, Xiao Wu walked to the side, ate the Yearning Heartbroken Red, and began to circulate her spirit power to absorb its medicinal energy.
Her entire body emitted a golden-red light, and her internal organs, tendons, bones, flesh, and skin... were all undergoing a transformation of rebirth.
Her spirit power surged rapidly, as if she had boarded a rocket, and she was becoming stronger with every passing moment.
Seeing that Xiao Wu’s absorption of the Immortal Herb was on the right track, Lu Chen withdrew his gaze and turned to look at Zhuqing, saying, "Zhuqing, wait a moment; I will go pick an Immortal Herb for you now."
Zhuqing withdrew her envious gaze from Xiao Wu. Hearing that Lu Chen was going to pick an Immortal Herb for her, she replied trustingly, "Mm!"
Immediately, Lu Chen gently put down the Wujue Stone. Perhaps after ten thousand years, another Yearning Heartbroken Red could grow on this Wujue Stone again.
After some searching by Lu Chen, using the Blue Silver Domain to communicate with the Immortal Herbs, it didn’t take long for Lu Chen to find the narcissus jade muscle bone.
This narcissus jade muscle bone appeared as a whole white, crystalline flower/herb, with a shape as pure and flawless as a green lotus or white lotus root; its petals and stems displayed a jade-like luster.
Without damaging the roots of the narcissus jade muscle bone, Lu Chen plucked it and turned to walk back to Zhuqing’s side.
Lu Chen extended the narcissus jade muscle bone in his hand: "Zhuqing, this Immortal Herb is called the narcissus jade muscle bone. Although it is slightly inferior to the Yearning Heartbroken Red, it is still a top-tier Immortal Herb."
"It has the effects of nourishing tendons and strengthening bones, enhancing the endurance of a Spirit Master’s bones and meridians, clearing the eight extraordinary meridians, and significantly increasing the efficiency of spirit power circulation and Cultivate speed."
Pausing for a moment, Lu Chen smiled mysteriously and said, "In addition, this Immortal Herb also has beautifying effects, which can make your skin more delicate and fair, presenting a jade-like luster."
Zhuqing’s eyes lit up. No girl could resist the temptation of becoming more beautiful.
She reached out and took the narcissus jade muscle bone, looking at Lu Chen with eyes as gentle as water, and asked softly, "Then how should I consume it?"
After Lu Chen told Zhuqing the precautions for consuming the narcissus jade muscle bone, Zhuqing also walked to the side, ate the narcissus jade muscle bone, and began to circulate her spirit power to absorb its medicinal energy.
Her whole body seemed to be shrouded in a faint mist. Under the nourishment of that mist, her skin became even more tender, so tender that it seemed like water could be pinched out of it.
As the two women’s absorption of the Immortal Herbs got on the right track, Lu Chen was temporarily free...
