Chapter 39 Dividing the Immortal Herb
After careful consideration, Yang Zhentian's expression turned serious, and the father and son sat down together to begin their conversation.
"Son, tell me your plan."
"Dad, you should know the value of these rare medicinal herbs. Now that we have discovered them, they belong to us, to our family, not to the entire Po clan."
"So what are you planning to do?"
"I plan to collect all the immortal herbs, and this Fragrant Silk Immortal Herb will be the family's most prized possession. We shouldn't tell anyone exactly how many we have, including our two grandfathers."
"Then select one plant each for the two grandfathers, Dad, and Mom to use first, and save the rest for later."
"Later, after we finish using the immortal herbs, we'll clean up the entire Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. Mom will come here personally to fix up the entrance and make a secret door. No one except our family of five should know about it. If possible, it would be best to also add a mechanism to prevent outsiders from breaking in."
After hearing this, Yang Zhentian remained silent for a long time: "Son, you've grown up. What you did was very good, but isn't it a bit inappropriate not to tell your grandfather the specific details?"
"Dad, Grandpa has a very good relationship with many people, even like brothers. I'm afraid he might not be able to resist telling others, or he might not be able to resist giving the herb to others."
Are you worried about the other three clans of the four single-attribute families?
"Dad, you should also know that since the battle with Haotian Sect, although our four single-attribute families have left Haotian Sect, each family has a different attitude."
"Our Po clan deeply hates the Haotian Sect and Tang Hao, and we will completely sever ties with them from now on. But the other three clans are not like that. Grandpa Baihe of the Min clan is Tang Hao and Tang Xiao's maternal uncle, and for them, the Haotian Sect is something they cannot sever ties with. Grandpa Titan, the patriarch of the Li clan, has always regarded Tang Hao as a benefactor, and I guess it will be difficult for him to sever ties with him as well. As for my maternal grandfather, I don't know his specific attitude."
"If they find out we have immortal herbs, the consequences will be severe. Especially if the Haotian Sect finds out, our Po clan will be doomed."
"As for our family members, there are too many people and too much gossip. The connection with the immortal herb is too great. If it is even slightly revealed, it will be a catastrophic disaster for our Po clan."
Of course, there was one more thing Yang Podi didn't say: although the Po clan is a family, internal conflicts are easy to arise. The immortal herb should be kept in the hands of one's own direct descendants. Just look at the factions within the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family; even the patriarch's son, Yu Xiaogang, was forced out of the family.
After hearing this, Yang Zhentian thought for a long time before finally sighing, "Son, you've thought this through very thoroughly. This is the best choice for the family."
"But son, what kind of elixir do you plan to use for your mother, your two grandfathers, and me?"
"Dad, you're already a Soul Saint now, so I think this Grade Nine Dragon Mushroom is a good choice. Both of Grandpa are already Soul Douluo, so I think we should give them the Ten-Thousand-Year Ginseng King. That way, they should have a chance to break through to Title Douluo."
"Damn, my martial soul is the Plate Armored Giant Rhinoceros. I think the Earth Attribute Earth Dragon Golden Gourd is pretty good."
"As for the elders of the family, I suggest using this Grade 9 Purple Ganoderma to refine medicine. Give each of them a pill, and they should be able to break through to Soul Douluo as soon as possible, and even have a chance to become Title Douluo."
"Dad, what do you think of my allocation?"
"Son, I must say your alchemy knowledge gained over the past two years has truly paid off. This allocation is indeed excellent. But what are you doing keeping all those immortal herbs?"
"I intend to keep this immortal herb as a family heirloom, and I also need to prepare a portion for Ping An and Tian Yue in advance."
"So, what kind of magical herb do you plan to take?"
"Dad, I'll have to ask you for help. That Nine-Leaf Sword Grass is shrouded in sword energy, and I can't take it down by myself. I'll have to trouble you to help me get it. Also, I think the Autumn Water Dew from Wangchuan will be quite effective for me, so I'll save it for later absorption."
Upon hearing this, Yang Zhentian couldn't help but laugh and scold, "You've got a good eye for choosing, kid. That Nine-Leaf Sword Grass is the most suitable for our family. But at your age, can you even use it?"
"Don't worry, my physical condition is still pretty good."
"Son, you've thought this through very well, but there's still one small problem."
Yang Podi found it strange. Logically speaking, his allocation and plan were excellent, so why was there a problem?
Seeing the confusion on his son's face, he said, "Son, you're only a Great Soul Master, level 22. These immortal herbs are far too precious. It's not safe for you to keep them. Why don't I keep them for you? Don't worry, they'll all be passed down to you in the future."
Upon hearing this, Yang Podi's face darkened. How could his father do this? He actually wanted to take everything from his possessions.
After some discussion, the two decided to store all the medicinal herbs separately.
Yang Podi had no choice but to take out all the immortal herbs, and then first took out a few that he had prepared for his family to take.
Seemingly remembering something, Yang Podi spoke again: "Dad, I think Grandpa is still trustworthy. Should we leave one for him?"
Yang Zhentian looked at his son with a half-smile: "Oh, what do you want to leave for your grandfather? And it would be best to choose something that won't be easily exposed."
"Dad, I think this 10,000-year-old earth spirit mushroom is pretty good. It's a top-grade earth-attribute herb, and it's not some kind of immortal herb. It's just a high-age herb, and you can find it outside. It's not a divine item, so giving it to Grandpa shouldn't reveal anything."
"You little rascal, fine, I'll leave this to your grandpa, but it's best if your mom gives it to him secretly."
"Okay, let's do it this way!"
Immediately afterwards, the father and son took turns selecting some medicinal herbs, one by one.
"I'm younger, let me choose first."
Hearing this, Yang Zhentian was amused: "Alright, son, I'll let you have your way this time."
Yang Podi looked at all the jade boxes and first chose the Qiluo Tulip Fairy Item.
Yang Zhentian immediately chose the Acacia Heartbreak Red.
Yang Podi once again chose the Qirong Tongtianju.
Yang Zhentian immediately selected the eight-petaled orchid.
Yang Podi chose the Star Luo Spirit Pearl.
Yang Zhentian chose the Phoenix Cockscomb Sunflower.
……
And so the father and son picked and chose, eventually dividing up all the magical herbs.
After distributing the immortal herbs, Yang Zhentian asked with a hint of amusement, "Son, why didn't you pick the Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass and the Fiery Apricot Blossom? Was it because you didn't have enough soul power to pick them?"
Upon hearing this, Yang Podi couldn't help but complain: "Isn't it just because you have the cultivation of a Soul Saint? You actually look down on me. You should know that I'm only eight years old."
"Dad, don't pick these two yet. I want to use them myself when I reach the Soul Master level."
"You'll be in danger if you use it yourself?"
"How can a Soul Master's cultivation be without danger?"
"Alright, let's not pick these two plants for now, we'll talk about it later. But if you want them, it would be safer to use them when you're at the Soul Master or even Soul King level."
"Dad, I will seriously consider it."
At this point, the spoils-dividing meeting was basically over, and the next step was for the two of them to consume the immortal herbs.
