20: Illustrated Guide to Immortal HerbsXiao Han knew that Feng Xiaotian's self-created soul skill, the Swift Wind Wolf Slash, had a stacking effect, and each slash was more powerful than the previous one.
However, this soul skill also has weaknesses, and it requires accumulation of power in the early stages to be completed.
Feng Xiaotian has the ability to fly, and his speed is extremely fast. Soul masters without the ability to fly cannot stop him from accumulating power.
Xiao Han felt fortunate that he and Shui Bing'er both had the ability to fly, so they could interfere with Feng Xiaotian's use of his own soul skills in advance.
Tianshui College has a good relationship with the two elemental academies of Shenfeng and Chihuo. Before the start of the previous Soul Master Competition, they would communicate and exchange ideas together.
Xiao Han guessed that he might be able to see those two teams soon.
~~~~~~~~~
Time flies, and three months have passed in the blink of an eye.
Shui Bing'er has already broken through level 30, but Xuewu is still stuck at level 30.
After the training that day, Lin Zhiruo kept Shui Bing'er and Xuewu.
"Xuewu, are you about to break through level 30?"
"Well, I feel like it's still a little short."
Lin Zhiruo nodded with satisfaction and continued:
"I've thought about it. To save time, we should go to the Frozen Forest early. You can also practice on the way to the Frozen Forest and while searching for soul beasts. After Bing'er obtains the third soul ring, you may also have a breakthrough, and then I can get you a soul ring."
"Okay. Dean Lin, I'll follow your instructions."
Xuewu and Shui Bing'er smiled at each other, both looking forward to the upcoming third soul ring.
Shui Bing'er asked,
"Dean Lin, will Xiaohan go with us?"
"Well, take him with you. I'm not at the academy, and I'm afraid he might get into trouble."
After meeting Prince Xue Qinghe in Tiandou City last time, Lin Zhiruo felt very conflicted.
She hoped that Xiao Han could get the "Illustrated Book of Immortal Herbs" that he had always dreamed of, but she was also worried that he was always thinking about the rare and precious herbs in Dugu Bo's poison array.
Three months have passed, and Xiao Han still has not received any news from the palace.
Lin Zhiruo thought that Xue Qinghe might not take this matter to heart.
It might be a good thing if I can't get the "Illustrated Guide to Immortal Herbs".
"You two should go back and get ready. We will set off tomorrow."
"good."
When the three were about to leave, Xiao Han ran over panting.
"Mom, good news!"
"What good news?"
"The prince wrote me back and asked me to go to the palace. I guess he should be able to get the book for me."
As Xiao Han spoke, he handed the letter in his hand to Lin Zhiruo.
"Mom, take a look for yourself."
Lin Zhiruo took it, opened it and took a look.
There was not much content in the letter, nor was there any mention of the "Illustrated Guide to Immortal Herbs". Xue Qinghe only told Xiao Han to go to the palace to meet him.
"Xiaohan, I thought the prince didn't take this matter to heart. But he didn't mention the book you wanted in his letter."
"I think he got it, otherwise he wouldn't have replied to me so late. Mom, please accompany me to Tiandou City, or I can go alone."
"No, I'll go with you."
Lin Zhiruo was worried about letting Xiao Han go to Tiandou City alone.
Listening to the conversation between mother and son, Shui Bing'er and Xuewu were confused.
Shui Bing'er asked,
"Dean Lin, Xiaohan, what are you talking about?"
"After returning from the Frozen Forest last time, my mother and I went to the Tiandou Palace to meet the Crown Prince. I wanted to ask him to help me get something from the Spirit Hall. Three months later, he finally wrote me a reply."
"I see. The book you want must be very important, otherwise you wouldn't have gone to the palace to find him."
"Yes, it is very important."
Xiao Han hasn't mentioned this matter to Shui Bing'er yet.
Lin Zhiruo said to Xiao Han:
"I just told Bing'er and Xuewu that I would take them to the Frozen Forest to hunt soul beasts tomorrow. It seems that our plan needs to be changed. We will go to Tiandou City first, and then to the Frozen Forest."
"Mom, are the four of us going to Tiandou City together?"
"Um."
"Great. Bing'er, Xuewu, have you two ever been to Tiandou City before?"
The two girls shook their heads.
Tianshui City is located in the northwest of the empire, thousands of miles away from Tiandou City.
Shui Bing'er's family background is relatively good, but she has been practicing in Tianshui Academy since she was six years old and has never been to Tiandou City.
Lin Zhiruo smiled and said:
"Then we'll set off tomorrow, and you all go back and get ready."
"good."
The next day, Xiao Han and his group of four took a carriage to Tiandou City.
Ten days later, we arrived at our destination.
After getting off the carriage, Shui Bing'er and Xue Wu were shocked by the prosperity of Tiandou City.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"The capital of the empire is indeed different."
"Yes, this is the center of power and desire, the world of the rich."
Xiao Han had been here once and didn't feel much. Even if the city was prosperous and lively, it had nothing to do with him.
The four of them soon arrived outside the palace.
Xiao Han said:
"Mom, the palace is full of etiquette and rules. It's too troublesome. You just wait for me here. I'll be back soon."
"Okay, I don't want to enter the palace anyway. Be smart and don't speak without restraint in front of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
"Yes, I know."
Afterwards, Xiao Han entered the palace alone and was taken by a guard to the hall where he had met Xue Qinghe last time.
Soon, footsteps were heard from outside the hall.
Seeing that the person coming was Xue Qinghe, Xiao Han bowed and saluted.
"Meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
"No need to be so polite."
There was a faint smile on Xue Qinghe's face.
Behind him stood a guard holding a black wooden box in his hand.
The wooden box looked very delicate and was made of precious wood.
"Xiao Han, I got what you wanted for you."
As soon as Xue Qinghe finished speaking, the guard handed the wooden box to Xiao Han and then slowly left the hall.
Xiao Han and Xue Qinghe were the only two people left in the hall.
"Open it and see if it is the book you mentioned."
"good."
Xiao Han was a little excited and quickly opened the wooden box.
What comes into view is a piece of golden brocade.
Xiao Han opened it carefully, as if he had discovered a treasure.
There was indeed a book inside.
The book was very thick, but there was not a single word on the exquisite cover.
Xiao Han didn't think much about it and gently opened the wordless cover. The contents of the book made his eyes light up.
The book contains illustrations of magical herbs of various shapes and colors. Each magical herb is lifelike, as if it can jump out from the pages.
Next to those magical herbs, there are detailed text descriptions, including the growing environment, picking time, precautions, etc.
There are detailed descriptions of the magical herbs such as Star Aniseed Ice Grass, Fiery Apricot, Acacia Heartbroken Red, and Wonderful Rong Tongtian Chrysanthemum.
Xiao Han could sense a faint scent of ink emanating from the book, and the patterns seemed to have been drawn not long ago.
Obviously, it is not the original, but it is made based on the original.
