A New Drug is On the Shelf

After walking for a few minutes in a daze, they finally arrived at a garden that overlooked an extensive terrace of Blue Silver Grass, which allowed Ning Fengzhi and others to see the genuine effect of this undervalued plant.
On the terrace, there isn't only Blue Silver Grass. There are other plants, ranging from all kinds of rice and fruit trees, that Han Yuan manipulated with his spirit skills to create spiritual plants like those fancy ancient plants in other cultivation worlds.
The experiment was successful, but the result was not effective.
A "normal" blue silver grass couldn't support the growth of spiritual plants after grafting, but the "blue silver grass" cultivated into spirit beasts can bear the sapling of those trees.
Moreover, the blue silver grass can turn into a bush at 1,000 years and a willow-like blue tree at 10,000 years, providing more rich nutrients for cultivating spiritual fruits.
Unfortunately, Han Yuan couldn't speed up the growth of blue silver grass like Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. Using the Sky Poison Pearl to refine super compost only provides up to a 100-year cultivation boost every week.
The oldest blue silver grass Dao Academy cultivated is only 2,800 years old. It is a strategic resource that acts as the center of a mimetic training ground for spirit masters with plant-type martial souls.
"What a beautiful sight..." Xue Qinghe (Qian Renxue), who had been acting all this time, couldn't help but sigh upon seeing a field of blue silver grass, feeling her stress level go down dramatically.
Ning Fenzhi doesn't know what his student has in mind and thinks he's admiring the field, "Indeed, this place is good for relaxing your mind."
"Mm, it's also a good place to cultivate." Gu Rong added, feeling this place was peaceful and full of life. Honestly, he preferred to meditate in a place like this.
'I should ask Fenzhi to make a field like this in the clan for me later.'
'Hmph, I bet the Old Sword will be jealous...'
Everyone eventually sat down around a stone table, enjoying the slight cold but comfortable evening wind. Liu Erlong pulled a few objects from her spatial ring and heated a teapot to make tea for her guest.
"Sir Ning, Senior Gu, Your Highness, please..." Liu Erlong poured tea for them.
Ning Fenzhi stared at the clear greenish tea in the cup and sniffed the light, aromatic grass-like scent, "Oh, this scent is familiar. Wait, it was 'actually' made with blue silver grass?"
"It's our specialty." Han Yuan replied this time. "We call it Blue Silver Tea."
"Drinking this tea will improve blood circulation, allowing one to relax more. Consuming for a few weeks will improve your sleep."
"And it's on sale."
Ning Fengzhi's eyes flashed with a discerning light, "I see..."
"Young man, you're saying this for a reason, right?"
"Just call me Xiao Yuan or Han Yuan." Han Yuan answered casually. "As for your question, yes. I'm willing to sell some "special" products that Dao Academy produced to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan, but..."
"I don't want your money!"
'Interesting.' Ning Fengzhi stared at Han Yuan and sipped his tea.
"Then, what do you want from us, Xiao Yuan?"
"Heart Separation Control." Han Yuan suddenly gave Ning Fenzhi a determined look.
"What!" Gu Rong was relishing the Blue Silver Tea but sprayed it out once he heard Han Yuan's request.
Although the "Heart Separation Technique" is not that much of a secret in the Douluo Continent as some people have deduced how it works, the authentic one in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan is considered a secret inheritance that only some people could learn.
It's not as simple as multitasking portrayed in the original work, as the Heart Separation Technique actually cultivates one's spiritual power through complex pathways in the Upper Dantian.
Yet, Han Yuan wasn't shy and asked for it directly.
Ning Fenzhi placed down his cup and commented, "You're really bold, Xiao Yuan. Asking for such a thing immediately. No wonder you dare to offend the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy and the heir of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan."
'Oh, now you finally mentioned this?' Han Yuan knew Ning Fenzhi brought up this matter because he wanted to gain the upper hand against him.
Yes, he wanted to scare a child.
Unfortunately for Ning Fenzhi, Han Yuan isn't an ordinary child.
"Senior, you must be joking, right? Offending, we only sparred and wrote a contract about it." Han Yuan replied with a chuckle. "I even apologize for acting immaturely because of my bad experience with nobles."
"If the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy and Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan are so narrow-minded, then Junior is afraid for the safety of common people on the Douluo Continent."
"Ah, such discrimination! if that ever happened, the world would be too cruel for us, commoners..." He lamented while shaking his head. "Not worth living at all!"
"We might as well sail to the sea and look for another place to live."
"..." Ning Fengzhi.
"..." Gu Rong.
"..." Xue Qinghe (Qian Renxue).
Liu Erlong was holding her laughter. Anyone with a working brain knew Han Yuan was bullshitting his way out of the problem.
"Well, I know you have a bad experience with nobles. But not all noble is bad, Xiao Yuan." Ning Fengzhi fixed his glasses.
He glanced at Xue Qinghe and proudly added, "My disciple is the Crown Prince, and he's doing his best to reform Heaven Dou Empire, making a better place for all kinds of people."
"Really? Can you really do that, Big Brother?" Han Yuan glanced at Xue Qinghe (Qian Renxue) innocently.
Xua Qinghe (Qian Renxue) cleared his throat and replied, "Yes. I'm doing my best to make the empire a better place."
"You heard him. Well, let's talk about the exchange..." Ning Fenzhi kept a friendly smile despite how outrageous the prior actings were, meaning he wasn't opposed to his request.
"I don't think the value of tea is enough to exchange for my clan's Heart Separation Control."
Han Yuan understood Ning Fenzhi's thought and nodded, "I thought so, Senior."
"That's why I mentioned "special" products earlier."
"Our Dao Academy can produce a drug that can cleanse vessels and meridians, increasing one's talent. The only downside is that this drug is only effective for those under Spirit Grandmaster Realm."
'There is such a miraculous drug in the world?' Ning Fenzhi's breathing stopped for a split second before returning to normal. He glanced at Liu Erlong and saw how unfazed she was.
"Of course, I don't like to talk empty, so here is a sample." Before Ning Fengzhi could doubt Han Yuan, he placed a wooden box on the stone table.
The wooden box is small enough to fit in one's palm.
Han Yuan opened the box and revealed an azure jade-like pill with a white swirl pattern. A medicinal aroma hit the nostrils of Ning Fengzhi and two others, making them dizzy for a moment again.
Tight! Tight! Tight!
The smell alone made them feel like they were immersing in a spring, feeling every pore refreshed.
"This pill..." Gu Rong smacked his lips. "It's a real thing."
"The name of this drug is Mystic Water Pill. What do you think of this product?" Han Yuan smiled faintly.
