Douluo Dalu: Huo Yuhao Knows the Plot

Chapter 187: Lovesick Heartbreak Red

“The Ghostly Orchid of Paradise, a supreme immortal herb, is the bane of all poisons and neutralizes all toxins. It doesn't possess detoxification abilities itself, but it can overcome any poison…”

The introduction was very detailed, with illustrations accompanying the text. Huo Yuhao compared the picture to the pink flower in front of him, and, well, it wasn't just similar, it was exactly the same.

“Ninth-Grade Dragon Root, a treasure of heaven and earth, nurtured by the spiritual energy of the world, requires absorbing…”

“Autumn Water Gazing Dew, consuming it can cultivate Fiery Eyes of Truth, allowing one to see through myriad wonders…”

Seeing this, Huo Yuhao's eyes lit up. This immortal herb was perfect for a spirit-type Soul Master like him. So, he pointed at the Autumn Water Gazing Dew in the illustrated guide and instructed the Ghostly Orchid of Paradise, “Bring me that.”

Although the Ghostly Orchid of Paradise was reluctant, it yielded to Huo Yuhao's authority. A pink ray of light swept out from the flower bud and floated into the distance.

Before long, the Autumn Water Gazing Dew was brought to Huo Yuhao. Upon closer inspection, it was an unremarkable herb, entirely emerald green. Strangely, in the center of the herb were three snow-white leaves, with a few drops of water in the middle, like morning dew.

Without absorbing it directly, Huo Yuhao stored it in his Purple Chain and continued flipping through the immortal herb catalog.

“Lovesick Heartbreak Red, the king of flowers, can revive the dead and regenerate flesh from bone, with the miraculous effect of bringing the dead back to life…”

“Exquisite Chrysanthemum of Penetrating Heavens, a neutral immortal herb, consuming it circulates energy through the limbs and blood through the meridians, allowing one to cultivate an indestructible body.”

“Bring me this one, and this one, and this one.” Huo Yuhao held the book and pointed at it repeatedly. Under Huo Yuhao's requests, the Ghostly Orchid of Paradise dug out many immortal herbs one by one. For a moment, it felt like ordering from a menu at a restaurant.

The Ghostly Orchid of Paradise cursed inwardly, thinking, 'Is he treating me like a waiter?'

In the end, Huo Yuhao obtained a total of eight immortal herbs: Lovesick Heartbreak Red, Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid, Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower, Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone, Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng, Seven-Colored Exquisite Pistil, Autumn Water Gazing Dew, and Exquisite Chrysanthemum of Penetrating Heavens.

During this time, the Soul Beasts among the immortal herbs repeatedly emphasized that Huo Yuhao was breaking the rules, stating that he could only take away seven immortal herbs at most. Huo Yuhao wasn't unreasonable either. He argued with the immortal herbs that he would take seven herbs and Tang Ya would take seven herbs, which was perfectly fine.

However, the Soul Beasts didn't agree with Huo Yuhao's argument and strongly condemned him. Honest Huo Yuhao was annoyed by these persistent fellows, and finally took out an eighth-grade fixed-installation Soul Guidance Device and declared that he would reason with cannonballs.

Thus, under the might of the Soul Guidance Device, the Soul Beasts shut their mouths, tearfully watching the two robbers do whatever they wanted in their territory.

However, Huo Yuhao didn't go too far. After all the immortal herbs were picked, he swept through the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well again, gathering the remaining six herbs.

Heavenly Punishment Mushroom, Netherworld Cold Spirit Algae, Vermilion Blood Bodhi, Scarlet Flame Vine, Dragon Elephant Essence, and Marrow Cleansing Spirit Dew. Although these six herbs weren't immortal herbs, they were top-tier in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

After ordering the dishes, no, after picking the immortal herbs, Huo Yuhao gave the book in his hand to Tang Ya. He wasn't interested in the Tang Sect's unorthodox things, nor did he have time to study them. But Tang Ya regarded it as a treasure and insisted on copying it down.

The sky had completely darkened. Not far from the shore of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, Tang Ya was writing furiously under the glow of a night-luminescent pearl. The soft moonlight fell on the girl, as if draping her in a veil.

Beside her, Huo Yuhao sat on the ground, propping his chin with one hand, quietly admiring this rare beauty.

After a while, Tang Ya finally copied down the information from the book, and contentedly stored the copy in her Soul Guidance Device. Only then did Tang Ya realize that she had been too immersed, and five hours had unknowingly passed.

Looking up, Tang Ya couldn't help but be slightly stunned. It was now early morning, and normally it should be pitch black. But this place was different. The ice spring and the yang spring each refracted milky white and vermilion light under the moonlight, and the surrounding herbs emitted colorful brilliance, adorning this place like a fairyland on earth.

Tang Ya gazed at the beautiful scenery before her, and was momentarily captivated. At this moment, she felt an unprecedented sense of peace.

Thinking of this story, a picture formed in Huo Yuhao's mind. In the picture, the young man knelt in the garden, shedding tears non-stop, crying his heart out, heartbroken.

In the end, he cried himself to death.

He didn't need to live, just grew flowers all day long, didn't need to eat or drink, and filled his stomach with photosynthesis? Or was he freeloading off his parents, or did his family have a mine?

It felt a bit… comical. Huo Yuhao laughed impolitely. Huo Yuhao usually didn't laugh unless he couldn't help it.

“Sister Xiaoya, Lovesick Heartbreak Red is the supreme among immortal herbs. I think I don’t need to say more about its effects. Try it. If it can really recognize you as its master, I believe the benefits it brings you will be no less than any other immortal herb.”

Tang Ya didn't decline. Her talent was too poor, and she had to seize every opportunity to become stronger. She took the Lovesick Heartbreak Red and looked at the crimson on the petals. The tragic story couldn't help but move Tang Ya.
