The wicked female is extremely fierce, but she's pampered by her seven beast husbands.

Chapter 187 White Bone Immortal Mushroom
Yuheng ignored the whispers of the two people beside him and instead discussed the conditions with Shi Ruoan, who appeared calm on the surface but was actually experiencing great emotional turmoil.

Shi Ruoan's fluctuating emotions quickly calmed down, and she listened attentively to Yu Heng's request.

"I only have three kinds. You'll have to figure out the other two yourself. If you can't find the other two within a month, the three herbs I have won't be enough to save him."

"Therefore, the condition that I am willing to offer three medicinal herbs is that you have to find the remaining two."

"Moreover, although I can keep him alive for a month, it also takes time to refine the medicine, at least three days."

"So, you only have... about 26 days left."

Shi Ruoan nodded with a serious expression and said, "I understand."

After spending a day with Shi Ruoan, Yu Heng was actually quite satisfied with this seemingly aloof merman. At least he wouldn't be like some unreasonable family members of patients who were eager for medical treatment but were also irrational, making Yu Heng lose his temper and want to kill the person in a fit of rage.

"Even if you didn't know how precious these three medicinal herbs were before, you should have found out some information from those snake clan members in the past two days."

"So I definitely won't give it to you for free. After all, I used to be a homeless orc, and now that I've finally found a partner, I have to take care of her."

Upon hearing this, Ling Chengen glanced in his direction and saw that he looked like he was having a hard time and his partner was difficult to please. He then ground his back teeth.

In the end... I just had to endure it!
Yuheng sat on the stone bed, one long leg bent, his right arm resting on his knee, holding up two fingers: "I'm a kind of witch doctor, so I don't care much about money."

Ling Chengen was speechless. He covered his eyes with his hand, unable to bear to look at him, and muttered under his breath, "He just said it wasn't easy raising me, and now he's saying he doesn't care about money..."

Bai Qingyu couldn't help but suppress a chuckle as she said, "Don't undermine him at a time like this."

Yu Heng couldn't hold back any longer and kicked a small pebble, hitting the rock where Ling Chengen was sitting: "What are you two doing? Don't get in the way here. Go help Su Weihua and Chang Tianchen. Don't interfere with my negotiations."

Ling Chengen glanced at his deliberately stern face, and three seconds later, he grabbed Bai Qingyu and ran away.

Yu Heng watched the two walk away, showing not a trace of embarrassment. He turned back to Shi Ruoan and continued his nonsense, saying, "Don't pay any attention to them. Kids don't know the value of household necessities..."

“If you want blue crystal shells, or other valuable items, I have collected quite a few, but they are all temporarily stored somewhere in the North Sea. If you need them, I can give them all to you.” Shi Ruoan did not think there was anything wrong with this.

Clearly marked prices are actually the most reassuring.

Yuheng shook his head and said, "If you have money or anything like that, you can give it to me if you're willing."

"But most importantly, I'm giving you two years."

"You must find these three medicinal herbs to replenish my supply within two years."

"Finding these three medicinal herbs will not only take time, but also require traveling to dangerous places all over the country. But with your abilities, there is no place you cannot go."

"If you don't agree, you can take that merman from the cave right now."

Without any hesitation, Shi Ruoan said decisively, "I agree."

Yuheng wanted to say something more, but seeing that he readily agreed, he shut his mouth.

Seeing that he had fallen silent, Shi Ruoan asked, "Where can we find the remaining two medicinal herbs?"

Yuheng held the leaf and fanned himself while saying, "You're lucky. The three herbs I have are all from the North, and the other two are from the South. You don't even need to go to the Southern Beast Plains; they're in the southern part of the Northern Wilderness. However, the Purple Rainbow Continuation Grass is distributed in the Southeast region, and the White Bone Immortal Mushroom grows in the remote, sparsely populated wet forests of the Southwest."

"If you're lucky enough to spend less time on the road, you might be able to find both of these medicinal herbs in about twenty days."

"However... you've never seen either of these two medicinal herbs before, and even if you did, you probably wouldn't recognize them."

"Of course, there are many other plants that look similar to these two herbs, and you might pick the wrong one..."

Yuheng stroked his chin, somewhat annoyed, and said, "At most, I can only describe it to you verbally, but that's not accurate enough."

Shi Ruoan asked, "Can you draw it?"

Yuheng was struck by this question and remained silent for a long time: "..."

Shi Ruoan looked at his stunned expression and instantly understood.

It seems I've forgotten how to draw.

He had noticed before that the snake-tribe orcs had blueprints in their hands. Although they didn't depict plants, they were maps showing the terrain and tribal power distribution across the entire plain.

Although he didn't know how it was developed, he immediately realized that it was extremely useful, but only on land; this kind of material couldn't be preserved in water.

Yu Heng felt a little annoyed by Shi Ruoan's gaze, so he got up and shouted into the distance.

Bring Ling Chengen and Bai Qingyu back.

He could sense that the two people hadn't gone far at all.

Ling Chengen returned quickly, but Bai Qingyu did not. He planned to go and see Su Weihua, which was better than staying here and doing nothing.

"What are you calling me for?"

Yu Heng twirled his fingers and said seriously, "The blueprints in Chang Tianchen's hand were given to you. Did you bring that kind of paper? Blank ones, I need them."

Ling Chengen blinked, took out a few slightly yellowed sheets of paper from his spatial storage, placed them on the dried bluestone bed, and handed him a charcoal pencil, asking doubtfully, "You know how to use this?"

Yuheng held the charcoal pencil, tested its feel, and found it a bit awkward, but still stubbornly said, "Since you've used it before, it shouldn't be difficult."

Ling Chengen sat to the side, resting his chin on his hands, wondering what he was going to do.

After Yuheng struggled with the paper and pen in his hands for half an hour with a furrowed brow, Ling Chengen's eyes were sore from looking at it. He sighed and said, "Still not finished?"

Yu Heng didn't even raise his head, his expression somewhat ferocious, and said seriously, "I'm still taming my hand, and your pen."

Seeing that he had already wasted three sheets of paper, Ling Chengen said with a bit of heartache, "I didn't make much paper. If you keep going like this, you'll waste the last few sheets too."

Yuheng angrily threw the pen onto the paper, crossed his arms, looked sullen, and even revealed a hint of annoyance. He gritted his teeth and said, "This thing is too difficult to use."

Ling Chengen picked up the charcoal pencil that had rolled to the ground, slapped the three scribbles into his arms, pulled the remaining paper in front of him, and looked up to ask, "What exactly are you trying to draw? It doesn't look like a route or anything. Is it an animal? Or a plant?"

"White Bone Immortal Mushroom and Purple Rainbow Regeneration Grass," Yu Heng said through gritted teeth.

Ling Chengen looked at the abstract drawings in his arms and fell silent.

But Yuheng had already tried his best, so she couldn't laugh at him. She raised her hand to cover her mouth and coughed lightly twice, then said seriously, "You tell me, and I'll draw it."

"Or, if you don't mind me using my supernatural abilities to deeply link with your mental domain, I can try to peer into the memory fragments of the White Bone Immortal Mushroom and the Purple Rainbow Connecting Grass in your mind."

Yu Heng's eyes widened. Ignoring his embarrassment and anger, he lowered his hands from his chest and asked in confusion, "Your ability can do something like this?" "I should be able to, but only if you don't resist me peeking into your memory fragments and you remember the appearance of these two medicinal herbs very clearly."

"I can't link to your mental domain for too long. First, it consumes a lot of my powers, and second, peeking into too many of your memories could cause confusion between our memories."

"Not too long? How long?" Yuheng asked.

Shi Ruoan also listened attentively. Although the process of going ashore was extremely dangerous and the losses were huge, she also witnessed many things that could not be seen at sea, such as Ling Chengen's unheard-of new superpower.

Ling Chengen estimated for a moment and wanted to say twenty minutes, but realized that Yuheng did not have the concept of time such as hours, minutes and seconds, so he chose a way of speaking that he could understand.

"It's about the length of a 20-year-old tree that you'd encourage to grow."

She had estimated the speed at which Yuheng could accelerate plant growth.

When plants are stimulated by Yuheng, they will develop into two different states.

Fully utilizing one's superpowers, and partially utilizing them.

Most of the time, he induces plant growth by working in the latter state.

There are many advantages to allocating superpowers in this way. First, the plants will grow more normally, and second, it can conserve superpowers.

It usually takes about ten minutes to induce the growth of a ten-year-old tree.

A tree that is twenty years old is basically worth twenty minutes.

Yuheng thought for a moment and nodded, saying, "This is enough time. Give it a try."

"I'm also quite curious whether your special ability can really see the images in my mind."

Ling Chengen pointed to his right hand: "Stretch out your hand."

Yuheng obediently extended his right hand, palm up. Ling Chengen placed his hand on Yuheng's palm and found that it was wet.

She really is someone who hates the heat.

As she closed her eyes, she reminded him again, "Whatever you feel, don't resist it, and then try to recall the appearance of the two herbs..."

This feeling is amazing.

Yuheng couldn't describe it accurately in words. The moment her slender fingers touched him, he felt nervous, but he didn't want her to notice his unease, so he tried to relax and slowly did as she said.

After a moment, he vaguely sensed her supernatural ability, which, like invisible threads, easily passed through his skin, seemingly able to accurately trace the location of every bone in his body, as well as the narrow blood vessels beneath his flesh.

Finally, those wisps of psychic power invaded his mind.

Yes.

He could only vaguely describe it as a brain.

His mind was too complex, and he had never really studied its structure; he could only judge based on his intuition.

However, he didn't dare to think wildly. He tried to recall the appearance of the White Bone Immortal Mushroom, followed by the Purple Rainbow Continuation Grass.

About five minutes later, Ling Chengen let go of her hand and opened his eyes.

Yuheng sat quietly to the side with her eyes closed, seemingly unaware that her mental powers had been withdrawn.

Looking at his motionless figure, Ling Chengen couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth. He lowered his head and, using the light of the light-emitting grass, quickly sketched the shapes of the two medicinal herbs on the yellowed paper with his charcoal pencil.

Her painting skills were quite good. With just a few strokes, she had already outlined the basic shape of the herbs. She then quickly added more details, even drawing the stamens clearly. It was just a pity that there were no paints... so Shi Ruo'an had to rely on her imagination to find the colors.

When Yuheng opened her eyes again, she found that Ling Chengen had already finished drawing the picture.

He picked up one of the paintings, stood up directly from the stone bed, stared at the painting without blinking, and exclaimed in shock, "Exactly the same... even the curvature of the flower path is exactly the same."

It was exactly the appearance of the plant that he had just tried to recall, and even the image in his memory was not as clear and complete as the one on paper.

At least, he had no recollection of how many stamens the Purple Rainbow Continuation Grass had, nor how many leaves and tiny roots it had grown.

Ling Chengen put away the charcoal pencil and the remaining paper, raised an eyebrow and said, "It's good that there are no problems. This is nothing."

Yuheng handed the picture to Shi Ruoan and pointed to the position of the petals: "The color cannot be restored, but I can give you a general description. The purple of the Purple Rainbow Continuation Grass is similar to the color of the lavender growing over there. There is also a gradient color, which is rainbow-colored from the base of the petals towards the stem and leaves."

"It's similar in color to Chang Tianchen's snake-like form, with orange-red, purplish-red, pink, and maple red... In short, it's a whole colorful plant, with distinctive colors that are not easy to mistake."

"The White Bone Immortal Mushroom looks rather ordinary. Its name sounds a bit scary, but its shape is actually not much different from the Dragon Mushroom. As for its color... it's rather mixed, somewhat like dense and irregular tree rings, with each ring being a different color."

"Although Dragon Mushroom is also a medicinal herb, its medicinal properties are very different from those of White Bone Immortal Mushroom, so if you pick the wrong one... it will be a waste of effort."

"If you really can't tell them apart, then pick as many as you can, and pick everything you see."

Yu Heng was also helpless. In fact, even he sometimes mistook the White Bone Immortal Mushroom. Only after it was truly processed into medicinal powder could he determine whether what he had picked was the ordinary Dragon Mushroom or the White Bone Immortal Mushroom by tasting its medicinal properties.

"Yes, there is one fairly obvious place. The environment in which the White Bone Immortal Mushroom grows is quite harsh, so there must be rotting bones nearby. However, the bones may have been completely buried under the thick fallen leaves of the damp forest, or covered with various kinds of moss, or wrapped by other plants..."

"But not absolutely. Where there is the White Bone Immortal Mushroom, there must be bones, but where there are bones, the White Bone Immortal Mushroom may not grow."

"Furthermore, the White Bone Immortal Mushroom has a strong attraction to animals with supernatural abilities, especially those with high levels of supernatural abilities. They may even be too impatient to wait for the White Bone Immortal Mushroom to fully mature before swallowing it."

"So after you find it, you have to drive away the higher-level animals that covet it, and you can only pick the White Bone Immortal Mushroom when it is fully mature."

To ensure there were no mistakes this time, Shi Ruoan pressed on, "Then how do we determine if the White Bone Immortal Mushroom is mature?"

Yuheng sat back on the stone bed, looking relaxed, and said, "It's very simple. After the White Bone Immortal Mushroom matures, a fine yellow-green powder will spray out from its cap."

"That's basically the seed of the White Bone Immortal Mushroom."

"Without a mature White Bone Immortal Mushroom, it will not sprout seeds."

"If you're unsure whether it's been sprayed, pinch the base of the plant with your hand. If a little bit of yellowish-green powder rises up, it means it's been sprayed. If not, it means it's not ripe yet."

Yuheng thought about it carefully, afraid that he might have missed some details, and finally added: "Because of the environment of the Southwest wet forest, the White Bone Immortal Mushroom will rot quickly within three days if it is not processed in time after it is picked."

"The environment for storing this medicinal herb must be dry, without too much moisture, and you must not use your ice-type ability to freeze it. Because the medicinal properties of the White Bone Immortal Mushroom will be lost after freezing, and it will completely rot within three beast hours after thawing, which would prevent me from processing it into medicine in time."

"Do you remember everything?"
