Douluo : People are writing diaries in Douluo

Su Ming left the Pope's Palace and headed to the city while Bibi Dong continued preparing for the nation-founding ceremony. It was time to send out invitations. She remembered that Su Ming had a decent relationship with Blazing Fire Academy and Tianshui Academy from the Four Elemental Academies in Heaven Dou Empire. Perhaps it would be best to send Su Ming to those two places tomorrow. Given his powers, he could quickly visit both locations. For the remaining areas, she could send a few skilled soul masters to deliver the invitations swiftly.

"Su Ming, we all think that this spot on the mountainside of Pope Hill is a good location. What do you think?" asked Niu Gao, smiling.

Su Ming examined the map. The area was quite open and indeed suitable. "If that's your choice, you can start construction tomorrow. Try to complete the framework for the four halls within five days." Su Ming tossed a ring to Niu Gao. "There are a lot of golden soul coins in here—don't know exactly how much. Check if it's enough, and if not, let me know."

Niu Gao, sensing the mound of golden soul coins inside, was taken aback. "This is more than enough! Su Ming, this is too much!"

Su Ming shrugged, unconcerned. "Senior Niu Gao, now that you've chosen to follow me, I won't let you down. Build the four halls to the best of your ability. As for any surplus, feel free to allocate it however you see fit, whether for crafting elixirs or other projects. When it runs out, you know where to find me."

The group, especially Bai He, looked at Su Ming with wide eyes, amazed by his generosity.

Su Ming turned to Yang Wudi and Chrysanthemum Douluo. "Senior Yang Wudi, Elder Chrysanthemum, could you prepare an open space behind the Medicine Hall for a medicinal herb garden? I have plans for it."

Yang Wudi, a bit puzzled, said, "Of course. A medicine garden is essential since I often grow rare herbs myself."

Su Ming shook his head. "No, Senior Yang. I need a second garden. I'm planning to transplant some young immortal herbs there to see if they can be cultivated artificially."

Nearby, Dugu Bo was taken aback. "Little monster, do you mean to transplant the immortal herbs from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well? Those herbs only grow because of the well's unique environment! Are you sure you can replicate it?"

Su Ming chuckled. "Old monster, why not give it a try? Even if they lose some potency, we'd still gain from it."

Dugu Bo thought for a moment and nodded. "Fair enough. Let's give it a shot."

Although he thought Su Ming's plan was a bit far-fetched, Dugu Bo had seen him accomplish impossible feats before. Deep down, he believed that whatever Su Ming set his mind to, he would succeed.

Su Ming's idea stemmed from the fact that he would eventually retrieve the two soul bones of the million-year Ice and Fire Dragon Kings beneath the well. Without those, the well could only last a few hundred more years. He wanted to prepare in advance. Though he currently lacked a solution, he was confident the system would provide one.

"Right, system?" he mused.

[Alert: Host, don't get your hopes up. This system isn't that kind of system.]

Su Ming: Heh, who knows?

Niu Gao and Bai He, meanwhile, were baffled by the conversation. Bai He asked, "Su Ming, what exactly is this 'immortal herb' you're discussing? Why is Yang so excited?"

Before Su Ming could respond, Yang Wudi took out his Gentle Fragrance Begonia Immortal Herb. "This is an immortal herb, Old White Bird. Su Ming gave it to me. It prevents me from being accidentally poisoned during alchemy. Its leaves are also rare medicinal ingredients. I searched for this for years, never expecting Su Ming to have it."

"As for other types of immortal herbs, I've never seen them. Su Ming and Senior Dugu are probably the only ones who have. They say these herbs can enhance a person's natural talents, but only if used appropriately. Careless use can lead to death!"

Chrysanthemum Douluo, somewhat envious, commented, "Hey, you're not keeping that all to yourself, are you? I might like to try it sometime."

Yang Wudi, clutching the herb protectively, coughed. "Don't worry. Once the Medicine Hall is established, this herb will be its prized possession!" Then, catching Dugu Bo's amused look, he quickly added, "And, of course, Elder Dugu, as honorary elder of the Medicine Hall, can use it freely."

Chrysanthemum Douluo felt slighted. "So that's how it is, huh, Yang Wudi? I can make medicines, too, you know. Well, just a little."

Yang Wudi chuckled, unbothered by Chrysanthemum Douluo's reaction, while Dugu Bo laughed. Yang Wudi had misunderstood his look, thinking he coveted the herb. But Dugu Bo already had a second Gentle Fragrance Begonia from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, now fully matured due to Su Ming's cultivation methods.

Niu Gao eyed Yang Wudi and teased, "So, Yang Wudi, was the promise of immortal herbs why you agreed to join Su Ming?"

Yang Wudi's face reddened, but remembering Su Ming only gave him the herb after his commitment, he stood his ground. "Nonsense! Su Ming gave it to me afterward. Ask him if you don't believe me."

Seeing Su Ming's nod, Niu Gao let the matter drop, while Bai He glanced thoughtfully at Su Ming, his mind racing.
