Douluo: The True Eye

Chapter 137: Persuading the Immortal Grass

Huo Yuhao first took Di Ruier to see the 100,000-year immortal grasses that had been brought to the Body Sect.

Although they had left the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, an environment perfectly suited for them, it merely meant that the 100,000 years of cultivation they would have gained in 10,000 years was readjusted to a normal pace.

As 100,000-year soul beasts that had already developed sentience, they were naturally not as fragile as they had been as immortal grasses.

They had simply changed locations and continued to take root; at least they were still alive, weren't they?

Moreover, although the speed of cultivation wasn't as fast as it was in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, wouldn't the next Heavenly Tribulation arrive later as a result?

Although their hearts were still full of resentment, when they thought of the might that Poison Undying had previously displayed, the group of immortal grasses, led by the Youxiang Qiluo Immortal 품, comforted themselves in this way.

When Huo Yuhao brought Di Ruier before them, he saw that this group of immortal grasses were all feigning death.

Silent and still, their corollas and leaves drooping, as if they weren't 100,000-year soul beasts with sentience, but just ordinary plants.

Seeing this, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but find it a little funny.

However, it wasn't impossible to imagine how unwilling these immortal grasses must have been at the time.

But they could only aggrievedly allow the Body Sect disciples to bring them back to the sect.

Perhaps they had even pulled themselves out of the ground.

After all, since the Body Sect didn't know how to collect immortal grasses, they wouldn't have been able to preserve them completely intact.

"Alright, stop playing dead." Huo Yuhao coughed lightly and said to the Youxiang Qiluo Immortal 품, "I'm not here to exploit you this time."

Then, Huo Yuhao led Di Ruier to the side of the Youxiang Qiluo Immortal 품, and as Di Ruier approached.

A strange aura emanated from her body, and a faint crimson-gold light晕染 spread out, then radiated into the surrounding environment and gradually dissipated.

However, after this crimson-gold halo spread out, these 100,000-year immortal grasses couldn't help but tremble slightly.

The group of immortal grasses, originally lacking nutrients and unaccustomed to the environment, felt as if a strange vitality had erupted within them.

It wasn't from the replenishment of life force or energy, but rather something seemed to be erupting from within their bodies, stimulating them into a more invigorated state.

Besides that, there was also a sense of suppression far above their status. They were all immortal grasses with 100,000 years of cultivation, after all?

Even if they were facing other ferocious beasts, they shouldn't feel such emotions, no matter how useless they were, right?

"You, who exactly are you?" Sensing the inexplicable power surging within her body and the awe rising in her heart, the Youxiang Qiluo Immortal 품 no longer dared to play deaf and mute, and asked with some doubt.

Then, she thought of an answer, an existence that existed in the bloodline of all soul beasts, even plant-type soul beasts, passed down through generations, and eagerly awaited its arrival.

"Emperor Ruishou?" She spoke slowly, but with incomparable certainty, and her tone was filled with unimaginable doubt.

After all, the Youxiang Qiluo Immortal 품 couldn't understand why the Emperor Ruishou, as the king of soul beasts.

Why would the Emperor Ruishou transform into a human form?

And why would she come together with Huo Yuhao, a vampire who oppressed their immortal grasses?

Of course, she was just slandering in her heart and didn't dare to express it directly.

Di Ruier nodded slightly. Although her face was still a little pale, the crimson-gold light made her appear extraordinarily majestic, and this completely different temperament made Huo Yuhao look at her with interest.

Her golden eyes swept across the group of immortal grasses present, and wherever Di Ruier's gaze reached, these 100,000-year immortal grasses hurriedly lowered their posture.

Their corollas and leaves swayed gently, as if saluting, as if worshiping, and none dared to be negligent in the slightest.

Firstly, the situation was stronger than them. It was already difficult to see the Emperor Ruishou in the Body Sect.

Secondly, they didn't know what connection there was between the Emperor Ruishou and Huo Yuhao, the young sect master of the Body Sect.

As the king of soul beasts, Di Ruier was the only one they could rely on if they wanted to escape their current predicament.

After all, these days, to them, these Body Sect disciples really didn't treat them as immortal grasses at all.

Not to mention that the soil here was just ordinary soil, without even a trace of spiritual energy (in reality, it was just that these immortal grasses had too high standards and looked down on it).

Moreover, for several days in a row, not even anyone came to loosen the soil, fertilize it, or replenish their ice and fire attribute soul power vitality (after all, the disciples in the Body Sect didn't know how to cultivate immortal grasses and naturally didn't dare to make decisions rashly).

Even after Du Busi and Huo Yuhao took away the immortal grass essence that they had painstakingly accumulated for 10,000 years, it was fine, but in the past few days, whenever a new trace of immortal grass essence was nurtured, it would be exploited by the Body Sect.

This kind of treatment was really too much bullying for the grass!

Huo Yuhao could naturally sense the various complex emotions on these immortal grasses, but he didn't say much and just let Di Ruier talk to them.

As Di Ruier comforted them and these immortal grasses gradually opened up, they naturally mentioned their current treatment issues.

During the days they were left out by the Body Sect, these immortal grasses' originally arrogant nature had actually been suppressed quite a bit.

Now, they were just missing a reason to lower their heads.

Or rather, they had already had the idea of lowering their heads, but Du Busi had been deliberately ignoring them.

After all, doing so was mainly to pave the way for Huo Yuhao, the young sect master of the Body Sect. After all, the mode of cooperation and oppression with these immortal grasses would eventually be led by Huo Yuhao.

Therefore, Du Busi directly used all the methods of oppressing these immortal grasses himself, in order to make it easier for Huo Yuhao to take over later.

Di Ruier comforted them again. The Youxiang Qiluo Immortal 품, who became more and more angry as she spoke, but shrunk into a ball when she glanced at Huo Yuhao, shook her head helplessly and then said to Huo Yuhao.

"Yuhao, Youyou and the others just want enough heaven and earth vitality and energy to maintain their normal growth."

"Although they say that the heaven and earth origin energy here is far inferior to the place where they originally took root, if it's you, you should have other methods, right?"

Looking at Di Ruier, who was winking at him, Huo Yuhao simply smiled slightly: "This is naturally not difficult. Although the spiritual energy properties and concentration within the Body Sect are indeed not suitable for the growth of the Youxiang Qiluo Immortal and other immortal herbs."

"However, the soil of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well can also be squeezed to produce enough nutrients for them to grow. Although it's not as abundant as being in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, it's not a big problem."

"In addition to transporting some soil from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, I can also set up some other energy gathering and circulation formations here, which will be enough to supply these few hundred-thousand-year-old immortal herbs."

Hearing Huo Yuhao's words, the Youxiang Qiluo Immortal and the others couldn't help but happily shake their leaves and petals.

"However..." Huo Yuhao changed the subject.

The somewhat impatient Liehuo Xingjiao Shu couldn't help but urge: "But what?"

Although she was taught a lesson by Du Busi for interrupting last time, it seems that Liehuo Xingjiao Shu won't be able to change this personality in a year and a half.

Huo Yuhao didn't bother to argue with her too much, and then continued: "However, the immortal herb essence produced by you will also need to be provided to the disciples of my Body Sect free of charge."

"After all, the manpower and material resources that may be used to set up and maintain the formation are not a small number."

Hearing this, the immortal herbs were all a little tangled, and couldn't help but whisper to each other to discuss.

Although their whispers sounded as if they were directly in his ears to Huo Yuhao, he didn't show it, but pulled Di Ruier to the side and waited quietly.

After all, for these immortal herbs, the current situation is already the worst possible situation, and any slight change can be considered an improvement.

Youxiang Qiluo Immortal: "Hey, hey, hey, are we really going to agree? If we hand over all the immortal herb essence every time, our own cultivation will probably progress slowly."

Liehuo Xingjiao Shu on the side retorted indignantly: "How can this work? I..."

Before she could finish her next words, another immortal herb directly interrupted her and then said: "What can you do? Don't forget that the cultivation of that powerhouse named Du Busi is now even stronger than when we first met."

"And don't you think that if we don't cooperate, these people won't be able to plunder benefits from us, right?"

Speaking of this, although also unwilling, this immortal herb still continued: "Let's cooperate according to their wishes for the time being. It's okay if the cultivation progress is a little slower, it's better than now."

"Moreover, if the cultivation progress is really as fast as in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, who of you has the confidence to definitely survive the next heavenly tribulation in the hundred-thousand-year cultivation?"

"If we can exchange this for the protection of humans and the Emperor Rui Beast, it can be considered a good deal."

"After all, humans are already famous for cultivating much faster than our soul beasts, and the existence of the Emperor Rui Beast can both shorten the time required for our cultivation and reduce the intensity of our heavenly tribulation."

"Rather than improving my cultivation quickly... I still want to live. I haven't seen the outside world yet. Damn it, I knew I should have left with Bajiao in the first place."

Unknowingly, the topic among the immortal herbs was checked, and seeing that the situation was not right, the Youxiang Qiluo Immortal quickly said: "Okay, okay, stop talking about it for now... In short, let's just do this for now. I'll try to negotiate a little more."

"No." At this time, Huo Yuhao's voice sounded from the side, while smiling at the immortal herbs.

"It's getting late now. Tomorrow, I will prepare to depart for the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. If you haven't discussed it yet, I won't accompany you to continue chatting here."

Seeing that Di Ruier was standing behind Huo Yuhao, looking like she was following Huo Yuhao's arrangements, the immortal herbs couldn't care about hesitating.

Youxiang Qiluo Immortal hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, we all agree to you, but you must not have the idea of turning us into soul bones or soul rings!"

This can be said to be the bottom line of these immortal herbs. Huo Yuhao naturally had no objection to this, after all, he doesn't need the soul rings of these immortal herbs now.

Moreover, from a long-term perspective, the value and benefits that these immortal herbs can create by continuing to exist are definitely better than a one-shot deal.

After reciting the oath of heaven and earth and signing the soul contract, the big stone that had been hanging in the hearts of the immortal herbs finally landed.

Now that there is a contract as proof, and the Emperor Rui Beast as a witness, they at least don't have to worry about Du Busi's words about turning them into soul rings and soul bones becoming true.

Although they had almost figured out what Du Busi's previous actions were for during the time after Du Busi left earlier.

But it's better to be safe than sorry. Who knows if verbal threats are just threats, and Du Busi might really kill one or two immortal herbs as a warning.

After completing the contract, Youxiang Qiluo Immortal was still a little hesitant, but finally made up her mind and said.

"Hey, Huo Yuhao, I advise you to not let the people under your command have any ideas about the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well anymore, after all, the owner there is probably really coming back."

Hearing Youxiang Qiluo Immortal's words, Huo Yuhao frowned slightly, as if he remembered something: "Do you mean Tang San?"

Hearing the name Tang San, Di Ruier pondered for a while, then suddenly remembered: "I seem to have heard this name a few times after coming to the human world."

As for more... Looking at Di Ruier's pure eyes with a hint of doubt, Huo Yuhao didn't make a judgment immediately, but continued to ask Youxiang Qiluo Immortal for confirmation.

"What is the basis for your words? What did you see him do? Who was the person who arrived at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well after us last time?"

After Huo Yuhao guessed Tang San, Youxiang Qiluo Immortal sighed slightly, but in the end, she didn't continue to hide anything and explained everything she knew in detail.

At this time, Huo Yuhao's Eye of Truth had also been subtly opened, carefully observing and recording Youxiang Qiluo Immortal, to avoid her possibly hiding or lying.

"Sea God Descending? Divine Sense? Young girl?"

After listening to Youxiang Qiluo Immortal from beginning to end, including the situation when Wang Dong'er broke into the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well valley.

Huo Yuhao nodded and said: "Okay, I have a good idea."
