第一千七百二十五章 百草心得

The elder said it this way, so I will follow your wishes." Lady Shangguan Mu Yu curtsied gracefully and then sat down. Unlike when they first arrived at the Yuan Gui Island, after some time of interaction, both parties had become more familiar with each other. Especially since Lin Xuan had taken the two sisters as disciples, this further narrowed the gap between them. With this connection, they could now consider themselves not outsiders.

"Thank you for your kind eyes and acceptance. I hope the cultivation of these two girls will be in good hands."

"You needn't worry. Both Yaer and Ling'er have goodqualifications. Since Lin Xuan has taken them as disciples, he won't let them down."

Lin Xuan smiled and then waved his sleeves, causing a light glow to envelop him. A storage bag made of animal skin appeared before his eyes.

"I heard from the two girls that your sect is currently in dire straits. Although I am just an independent cultivator with modest wealth, these crystal stones are for you to use temporarily."

"How can this be acceptable? How could I possibly take something from such a senior?" Lady Shangguan Mu Yu's face flushed as she hurriedly declined.

"Don't worry about it. A small gift is not worth much to me. If you don't accept, it would seem that you do not value my kindness."

"How could I dare think so?"

At this point, Lady Shangguan Mu Yu naturally couldn't continue to decline. Moreover, Bai Cao was indeed in a difficult situation; in the words of common folk, she was struggling to make ends meet.

Of course, what was meant by 'struggling' here wasn't that there was no food but rather the various resources needed for cultivation. Everyone was in trouble, and if not for the lack of medicinal pills to swallow, Yaer would have already become a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator with herqualifications.

"Thank you very much."

Lady Shangguan Mu Yu stood up and bowed to Lin Xuan. At this moment, his generous offer felt like sending charcoal in winter; it was almost as if he had brought warmth to the cold.

"We need not be so formal. It's all about mutual support." However, there is something I would like to ask of you, if you don't mind."

"Senior, whatever can be done, I will not decline," Lin Xuan said with a smile.

"Such is the case. Yaer once asked me for advice on cultivation matters. The Heart Techniques of the Hundred Herbs practiced by your sect seem quite unique. I feel ashamed to say that as a Separation and Union stage cultivator, I couldn't help the two girls. If you don't mind, could you lend me the Heart Techniques of the Hundred Herbs so I can take a look?"

"Um," Lin Xuan's request was indeed somewhat excessive. For any sect, their main cultivation techniques were closely guarded secrets; even if relations were close, it was unheard of to lend them out. Lady Shangguan Mu Yu's face showed some hesitation.

"I am only asking this much. If you don't agree, there is no issue," Lin Xuan said with a raised eyebrow.

"Senior, I did not say no." Lady Shangguan Mu Yu's somewhat anxious voice reached his ears. She didn't want to create any rifts with Lin Xuan over this matter. Indeed, for most sects and families, their main cultivation techniques were indeed not passed on externally; it was a matter of preserving the lineage that even the leaders couldn't be careless about.

However, there are always exceptions to every rule, and one must understand when to adapt. Back then, Lady Bai Cao was indeed powerful, but what now? Her life had become so precarious that she could barely make ends meet. She had fallen to this level; how many rules and formalities were left? Moreover, the Heart Techniques of the Hundred Herbs had been lost before, and even though they had been recovered, it had also led to their incompleteness. This Lin senior was a person with great power; could he possibly be after any cultivation techniques?

With these thoughts, Lady Shangguan Mu Yu's doubts vanished, and she casually waved her hand, revealing a somewhat damaged jade cylinder.

"Senior, this is the Heart Techniques of the Hundred Herbs. Please take it."

"Hmm." Lin Xuan nodded and placed the jade cylinder in hisembrace.

"Thank you for your kindness. I will now bid farewell to you. With the current conflict between our two clans, please remind your disciples not to venture out casually," he said.

"You're welcome. I understand," Lady Shangguan Mu Yu replied respectfully before seeing Lin Xuan off with the two girls.

"Flying and Yaer, come to my residence in a fortnight; I will guide you in cultivation."

"Aye, Master."

Lin Xuan then flew back to his residence, surrounded by a faint green glow. After bathing and feeling satisfied, he lay down on his bed.

This trip was highly rewarding. The Purple Yang Grass had both quality and quantity that met his expectations. With this, he could now freely accelerate the development of the blood fire ants. By letting the queen produce more offspring, once their numbers reached a certain scale, he would have another powerful weapon at his disposal.

Next, Lin Xuan took out a jade cylinder from hisembrace; it was the one Lady Shangguan Mu Yu had given him, containing the Heart Techniques of the Hundred Herbs.

In truth, Lin Xuan's intention in asking for this wasn't just to help the two girls but to have another plan. In the past, Fairy Xuanfeng and the founder of Bai Cao were close friends who stayed on Yuan Gui Island for a long time. Given their similar cultivation levels and shared spirit, he believed that the two must often exchange cultivation insights.

By borrowing from this Heart Techniques of the Hundred Herbs, could he find something useful?

With this mindset, Lin Xuan delved into it with his divine sense.
