Chapter 174 Tang Hao secretly plants Blue Silver Emperor in Peach Blossom Spring (Must read, vote at the end of the chapter on whether to accept the Pope)
"Your Holiness, there might be some pain involved. Are you prepared?"

"Okay, I'm ready. Shall we come in now, Ms. Su?"

"It can be done at any time."

"Could you be a little gentler? Try to let me bleed less. Although I'm mentally prepared and can endure more pain than most people, I'll still get nervous if Teacher Su is different from others. And when I get nervous, I tend to get tighter and tighter..."

Two days later, as dawn broke, golden light bathed Peach Blossom Academy, a gentle breeze stirred, and the fish in the pond swam peacefully.

Inside the golden-yellow glazed tile pavilion, the furnishings were simple, consisting of only an ice jade bed, a table, and a few chairs.

Bibi Dong looked visibly nervous, after all, having her 100,000-year-old soul ring and soul bone stripped away was no small matter.

Her willingness to accept this situation also demonstrates her extreme trust in Su Ran.

Inside the room, Su Ran glanced at Bibi Dong and said calmly, "It's normal to be nervous. Since His Holiness the Pope has entrusted me with this, I will also speak frankly. There is actually a second way to resurrect Xiao Wu's mother—to become a god. As long as you can find the divine test and pass it, you can independently separate this origin and soul."

Originally, Tang San later received sacrifices from the Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape, which revived him after he became a god, making them both the strongest beings below the level of gods.

Although Xiao Wu's mother was not a sacrifice, this was still a turning point.

Bibi Dong's expression changed. A divine test? Why would she need to go looking for one?

However, she shook her head: "Becoming a god is extremely difficult, and the divine test is even more difficult to find. Even if we have another thirty or fifty years, there is no guarantee of success. Teacher Su, just come directly. Even if I lose my 100,000-year-old soul bone and soul ring, I can bear it."

Become a god? Are you kidding me?
As far as I know, after becoming a god, I will most likely not be able to stay on the mainland. Wouldn't that mean I would be separated from Teacher Su?
How can this work!

"Since you've made this choice, I'll do my best to minimize your losses. Sit cross-legged on the ice jade bed and familiarize yourself with the environment. I still need to go get some auxiliary items."

After saying that, Su Ran's figure disappeared into the peach grove.

……

In a moment of distraction, Su Ran found herself in the flower garden on the other side.

Upon seeing Su Ran suddenly appear, Dugu Bo quickly jumped up from the recliner and retrieved several exquisite boxes from the nearby thatched hut:
"Dean, here are the three 10,000-year-old Sacred Soul Grasses, the 10,000-year-old Dragon Blood Ginseng, the Grade 9 Green Lotus Root, and the Soul-Guiding Flower you requested..."

Su Ran counted the quantities and gave a soft "hmm":
"Thank you for your hard work in taking care of the flowers and plants, Poisonous Guard."

Dugu Bo scratched his head and chuckled:
"Dean, what are you saying? I'm eager to take care of these flowers and plants. If I hadn't learned about plants from you, Dean Su, I wouldn't have known that there were two such treasure troves in the academy that were almost as good as the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, and I wouldn't have learned so much about plant care."

"Teacher Su, your fertilizer and spiritual water are truly remarkable. After watering them once, in just a few days, they are equivalent to the growth of ordinary flowers and plants over several decades. It's amazing."

Su Ran smiled faintly: "These plants are hard to come by and extremely limited. However, it is worthwhile to cultivate some top-quality plants for these students to use for physical training and health maintenance."

"That's right. When we were cultivating, we didn't have such good conditions. It's really lucky for girls like Yan'er to have a teacher like Dean Su."

"However, Dean Su, are all these flowers and plants you requested for Bibi Dong of the Papal Palace? From what I know of them, Bibi Dong is no kind person. Professor Su, what is your relationship with her?"

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Dugu Bo couldn't help but tentatively ask.

The old venomous snake's eyes were full of maturity.

Bibi Dong is up to no good with Dean Su!
The Pope, instead of doing his proper duties in Wuhun City, has come to Peach Blossom Academy to pester Teacher Su!

In the past, Teacher Su didn't pay much attention to her, so that was fine.

In just the last two days, Dean Su has been getting very close to Bibi Dong, and their behavior is quite intimate. He even prepared a variety of rare flowers and herbs of near-immortal quality for her, which seem to be things that nourish blood and invigorate the soul, enhancing qi and spiritual power.

How can this be good?

My dear Yan'er, your grandfather has high hopes for you, not only for your cultivation but also for carrying on the family line!

Su Ran smiled faintly:
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

"Of course I trust Professor Su's judgment, it was just a casual remark."

"However, there is one more thing I would like to apologize to Dean Su for." Just as Su Ran closed the medicine box and was about to leave, Dugu Bo remained silent for a moment, then bowed to Su Ran.

Su Ran quickly helped Dugu Bo up, a hint of doubt in her eyes:
"Poisonous guard, what are you doing? You helped me take care of the flower garden, I'm grateful to you, what crime have you committed?"

"Alas, it is because Dean Su trusts me so much that he entrusted me with the management of the flower garden, but I have been careless. I only recently discovered that two lesser-grade immortal plants are missing from the flower garden, and one immortal plant has been destroyed."

Dugu Bo led Su Ran to the edge of a crystal-clear, dazzling flower field. Pointing to a corner of lush flowers and plants, he said that there was indeed a withered immortal plant there, which seemed to have been caused by improper harvesting. There were also two other plants with roots remaining, indicating that they had been harvested less than thirty days ago.

Su Ran pondered for a moment, but did not pursue the matter further:

"The poisonous guard need not blame himself. With such a large area of ​​flowers and plants, it is normal for two or three plants to die. It is not a sin to fail to notice something in time."

"If they withered naturally, that would be fine. I'm just afraid... someone from the academy is stealing them."

Dugu Bo looked at Su Ran with concern. After all, even he was tempted by so many precious flowers and plants, let alone the young girls in the academy.

"No, it won't be my students. I trust them. Besides, these flowers and herbs were originally planted for them to use in combination. If they want to use them, they can just apply to me."

"It must have been a thief who broke in from outside. While I was taking a few maids to the City of Slaughter, they bypassed my Peach Blossom Formation and came here. I originally wanted to take two immortal plants, but I didn't know how to pick immortal flowers and herbs, so I settled for two lesser immortal plants."

"This person's strength should be above level 95, and he is good at stealth and escape. It is understandable that the Poison Guard was careless for a moment."

Su Ran glanced at the traces at the scene, frowned, and had already deduced the general situation.

Dugu Bo slapped his forehead: "Dean Su is so clever! But who is this person who is so bold as to come to Peach Blossom Academy to steal flowers and plants? It's my fault for not being careful. He deserves a beating!"

Soon, Su Ran spotted a Blue Silver Grass swaying with blue-gold patterns in the flower garden.

This Blue Silver Grass actually grew in a location slightly off-center from the center of this treasure land, and its planting location was quite clever, hidden among several taller flowers and grasses. It was only because of Su Ran's pair of divine eyes that she was able to spot its slightly emerging blades of grass.

As if sensing the carefree, otherworldly aura emanating from Su Ran, the blue silver grass swayed even more vividly.

"Poison Guardian, when was this Blue Silver Grass planted?" Su Ran asked.

Dugu Bo stared intently, somewhat puzzled:
"It should be around thirty days. I noticed this Blue Silver Grass a while ago and thought it was planted by Dean Su when he came back, so I didn't pay much attention to it. I was wondering why there was a Blue Silver Grass that looked a bit unusual here."

Su Ran smiled faintly, already knowing who was behind this.

The dog I adopted back then is really a rascal; it even stole flowers and planted grass in my own backyard to steal nutrients.

Once it's planted, it's difficult to take it away.

"One Blue Silver Emperor plant can be exchanged for two Lesser Immortal plants, and one Immortal plant can be destroyed. Although it's not a profit, it's still acceptable. It's better than nothing. Let's just consider it an exchange."

"Poison Guardian, keep a close eye on this Blue Silver Emperor. It's even more precious than ordinary immortal plants. Find me a spirit pot to cultivate it separately, and make sure it's not stolen again. Otherwise, I'll really punish you."

"Alright, once the plants are removed from the ground, their medicinal efficacy weakens by three-tenths. They need to be used promptly. I'll be going now."

After Su Ran finished speaking, he took the herbs and medicines he needed and disappeared into the garden, as he had important matters to attend to.

Dugu Bo was somewhat bewildered. Exchanging a Celestial Grade for Blue Silver Grass? No, this Blue Silver Grass is called Blue Silver Emperor? Isn't that a loss? He wondered what Dean Su was thinking.

But Dugu Bo still readily agreed:

"Don't worry, Dean Su. I've learned my lesson. From now on, I'll guard the flower garden to the death. If this Blue Silver Emperor is lost, I'll be ashamed to die for it!"
