[The Heavenly Curtain Continued]
Yu Xiaogang fell silent as his gaze landed on a particular herb.
The Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum.
Even with all the knowledge he possessed, the sight of this legendary immortal herb left him stunned.
Behind him, Yu Yuanzhen and the other members of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan gradually entered the valley.
The moment they stepped inside, they were greeted by a strange and magnificent sight.
Not far away lay two pools of spring water.
One was fiery red.
The other was icy blue.
The two colors intertwined without mixing, forming a miraculous scene unlike anything they had ever witnessed.
Around the springs grew countless rare plants and herbs.
However, compared to the vast sea of medicinal plants outside the valley, the number here was significantly smaller.
Yu Yuanzhen frowned slightly.
"What a pity."
"The herbs here seem much fewer than those outside."
Since he couldn't identify any of the plants surrounding the springs, he naturally assumed their value was similar to those outside.
As a result, he couldn't help feeling somewhat disappointed.
"A pity?"
Yu Xiaogang turned around immediately.
A strange expression appeared on his face.
"Father, if someone offered me a choice between the herbs outside and the herbs here..."
"I would only choose the ones outside if I were an absolute fool."
His words instantly stunned everyone.
Yu Yuanzhen blinked.
The other clan members exchanged confused glances.
What did that mean?
Were these herbs really that valuable?
Yu Xiaogang slowly withdrew his gaze from the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum and looked around once more.
His breathing unconsciously quickened.
One immortal herb after another entered his field of vision.
Nine-Grade Purple Ganoderma.
Qiluo Tulip.
Autumn Water Dew.
Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid.
Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone.
Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower.
Fragrant Qiluo Immortal Product.
Yearning Heartbroken Red.
Every one of them was a legendary immortal-grade herb.
Each possessed heaven-defying medicinal effects.
Each was capable of changing a soul master's destiny.
Even Yu Xiaogang found it difficult to remain calm.
As he stared at the countless immortal herbs surrounding the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, he couldn't help muttering to himself.
"These aren't merely immortal herbs."
"They are living Titled Douluo."
The moment those words appeared, the entire continent exploded.

Black World
"AHHHHHHHHH!"
"My heavens!"
"What exactly did I miss before?!"
Inside the Spirit Hall camp, Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan nearly lost his mind.
At this moment, he was riding on Ghost Douluo Gui Mei's back while rushing toward the Sunset Forest.
The usually elegant Titled Douluo looked completely insane.
"Dugu Bo!"
"You damn old poison freak!"
"You've been sitting on a treasure mountain this entire time?!"
"How can there be so many immortal herbs?!"
Yue Guan screamed toward the sky.
At the same time, he struggled violently.
His entire body twisted and thrashed around.
It looked as though he wanted to jump directly into the Heavenly Curtain.
"Be still!"
Gui Mei finally couldn't endure it anymore.
His face darkened.
"If you keep moving like this, neither of us will get anywhere!"
Unfortunately, Yue Guan couldn't hear a single word.
His mind was completely occupied by the immortal herbs.
At this moment, even if the Pope herself appeared before him, he probably wouldn't notice.
Gui Mei gritted his teeth.
This living ancestor was driving him insane.

Breaking Clan Territory
The situation within the Breaking Clan was even more chaotic.
"The Fragrant Qiluo Immortal Product!"
"That's the Fragrant Qiluo Immortal Product!"
"And there are so many others!"
"My heavens!"
"How can such a paradise exist on Douluo Continent?!"
The entire clan had descended into madness.
As experts in medicine and alchemy, the Breaking Clan understood the value of immortal herbs better than most people.
To them, these treasures were irresistible.
Yang Wudi, the clan leader, had completely lost his composure.
At some point, he had climbed onto a table.
Now he stood on top of it while staring upward at the Heavenly Curtain.
Every few seconds he jumped.
Again.
And again.
And again.
It looked ridiculous.
Yet nobody laughed.
Because everyone else felt exactly the same.
"Clan Leader!"
"We have to go!"
"We must go to Sunset Forest!"
An elderly clan member grabbed Yang Wudi's sleeve excitedly.
His eyes were red.
"If I can see those immortal herbs with my own eyes before I die, I'll have no regrets!"
"That's right!"
"We must go immediately!"
"Right now!"
The entire hall erupted with agreement.
Previously, when spirit bones had been revealed, they had certainly been envious.
But they also knew their limits.
Spirit bones were treasures fought over by the strongest powers on the continent.
The Breaking Clan lacked the strength to compete.
However, immortal herbs were different.
To the Breaking Clan, their value exceeded spirit bones.
Far exceeded them.
If someone placed hundreds of spirit bones beside these immortal herbs and offered them a choice, not a single member of the Breaking Clan would hesitate.
They would choose the herbs immediately.
In their eyes, spirit bones weren't even worthy of comparison.
At the same time, a small hope remained in their hearts.
What if Yu Xiaogang didn't reveal the effects of every immortal herb?
What if nobody else understood their true value?
Then perhaps...
Just perhaps...
The Breaking Clan could obtain one or two.
Even the possibility was enough to drive them crazy.

Shrek Academy
If Yue Guan looked crazy...
Then Tang San looked worse.
Far worse.
At this moment, all traces of calmness had disappeared from his face.
His eyes were bloodshot.
His breathing was uneven.
His expression looked as though someone had stolen everything he owned.
The moment the immortal herbs appeared, Tang San completely lost control.
"Those are immortal herbs!"
"Immortal herbs!"
He clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles turned white.
Beside him, Xiao Wu became frightened.
"Third Brother..."
She tugged at his sleeve carefully.
"Don't scare me."
Tang San took several deep breaths.
Inhale.
Exhale.
Inhale.
Exhale.
He desperately tried calming himself.
Unfortunately, it was useless.
Completely useless.
"No."
"I can't calm down."
"I really can't calm down!"
His voice almost sounded desperate.
The immortal herbs appearing in the Heavenly Curtain were treasures beyond imagination.
Each one possessed miraculous effects.
Each one could fundamentally transform a soul master's future.
The thought that countless people across the continent now knew about them made Tang San feel as though his heart were bleeding.
After a long silence, he finally looked toward everyone present.
At this point, secrecy was meaningless.
The Sunset Forest had already become the center of attention for the entire continent.
Soon, every major force would head there.
Whether he wanted it or not, the information would eventually become public.
Since that was the case...
He might as well reveal it himself.
"Everyone."
Tang San's expression became serious.
"The value of these immortal herbs far exceeds your imagination."
The atmosphere instantly became quiet.
Everyone listened attentively.
Tang San pointed toward one of the herbs displayed on the Heavenly Curtain.
"The Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower."
His gaze shifted toward Ma Hongjun.
"If you can obtain that herb..."
"It may completely solve your evil fire problem."
The words hit like a thunderbolt.
"What?!"
Before Ma Hongjun could react, Flender rushed forward.
The dean grabbed Tang San by both shoulders.
His eyes widened.
"Are you serious?"
"You mean it can completely cure him?"
For years, Ma Hongjun's evil fire had been one of Flender's greatest concerns.
Now Tang San was telling him there might be a solution.
How could he remain calm?
Tang San nodded.
"There is a very high probability."
The moment those words fell, excitement appeared on Flender's face.
Ma Hongjun was equally stunned.
For a moment, he couldn't even speak.
Tang San then shifted his gaze elsewhere.
Toward Ning Rongrong.
The person he considered most important.
After all, behind her stood the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan.
If they could obtain the clan's support, their chances of securing immortal herbs would increase dramatically.
At this moment, however, Ning Rongrong appeared indifferent.
As the young princess of one of the wealthiest sects on the continent, she had seen countless treasures throughout her life.
Rare herbs alone weren't enough to move her.
Tang San noticed her reaction.
A faint smile appeared on his face.
Then he slowly spoke.
"Ning Rongrong."
"Would you like to know how to evolve the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda?"
Ning Rongrong froze.
Tang San continued.
"Would you like to know how to transform it into the legendary..."
"Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda?"
The moment those words left his mouth, the entire room fell silent.
Ning Rongrong's calm expression instantly disappeared.
Her eyes widened.
For the first time since the discussion began, genuine shock appeared on her face.
Because no temptation on Douluo Continent was greater for a member of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan than those words.
The Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.
A legendary existence.
The ultimate dream of every member of her clan.
And now—
Tang San was telling her that one of those immortal herbs could make that dream a reality.
