The ease of the transaction greatly exceeded Chrysanthemum Ghost's expectations. After giving the items to Broad Hill, Broad Hill kept his word and handed the booklet to Yue Guan on the spot, even making a vow in person.
As soon as Yue Guan and Guimei got the booklet, they immediately prepared to leave. They couldn't wait to go back and study it, to see if the contents could help them break through, but Broad Hill stopped them with a word.
"You'd better take a look here first. Of course, you can also leave directly, it's up to you," Broad Hill said lazily, leaning comfortably on the back of his chair with a slight upturn of his lips.
Yue Guan, who was about to leave, stopped and turned his gaze to Guimei in the black robe. He saw Guimei pondered for a moment, then nodded, agreeing with Broad Hill's words.
So, Yue Guan turned back and sat down again, flipping through the contents with Guimei.
Azure Luan, seeing Broad Hill's unusual behavior, wanted to ask why it was different from what had been agreed upon before, but saw Broad Hill wink at her, and then stopped asking.
The hall became quiet, with only the sound of Yue Guan and Guimei turning pages.
At first, the two read very carefully, but gradually, the further they read, the more unsightly their faces became. What was written on it was basically what they already knew. The speed at which the two turned pages became faster and faster, until they saw the useless nonsense, the hands holding the booklet were very forceful, and the aura on their bodies was faintly unstable.
"Don't be angry, keep reading, you will thank me," Broad Hill's voice sounded again.
The two took a deep breath, controlled their aura, and flipped to the end, their eyes fixed on the marked content. After a long while, their aura returned to calm, but at the same time, there were bitter smiles on their faces. They also understood why Broad Hill would say such a thing.
"Thank you, Senior Broad Hill, for your guidance. It seems that the two of us are not destined for this."
Yue Guan took the initiative to get up and salute, but he seemed a little dejected. Guimei also saluted, but did not speak, but the black mist occasionally churning outside the black robe meant that his heart was also uneasy.
"No need to thank me, this is a transaction. In fact, staying at level ninety-five is not bad. Perhaps one day you will get Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures to replenish your potential," Broad Hill said insincerely, even he himself didn't believe it, and then suddenly changed his tone: "If you really want to break through, it's not impossible, but you may not be able to accept the consequences."
Yue Guan and Guimei, who had been desperate, were shocked when they heard Broad Hill's words, and suddenly looked up at the lazy Broad Hill.
Immediately, the two of them showed bitter smiles again: "Senior, the two of us have nothing to trade."
"Trade? That's not necessary. Consider this news a gift, so as not to let you two resent me for scheming against you," Broad Hill sat up straight and glanced at the two with a smile that was not a smile.
"We dare not," Yue Guan and Guimei saluted at the same time.
"See, you dare not, but you will," Broad Hill blurted out, then waved his hand to interrupt the two who were about to apologize, and continued: "For you who have Fusion Skill, your understanding is enough, and breaking through ninety-six is not difficult. What you lack is potential. As long as you can find a Soul Bone of high age that is extremely suitable for your own Martial Soul to support you, the breakthrough will be a natural result. Of course, the minimum must be 50,000 years, the higher the more stable, but after you break through in this way, there will be no possibility of progress in this life."
"Do you understand now? Can you accept it?"
Broad Hill spread his hands, leaned back on the back of the chair again, closed his eyes, and stopped paying attention to the two.
Yue Guan and Guimei stood there, their faces changing for a while, and finally, they didn't say anything, bowed deeply to Broad Hill, and left silently.
After a long time, two sighs almost sounded in the hall at the same time. Broad Hill reopened his eyes and glanced at Azure Luan and Han Li, who had just emerged from behind the pillar, as if he didn't understand what they were sighing about.
"You two, Master and disciple, after calculating others, you still want them to thank you, really..."
Azure Luan didn't continue, but Broad Hill and Han Li both understood what he meant.
"Then, good disciple, what are you sighing about?"
Broad Hill glanced at Han Li, who was pretending to be deep, and asked.
"I'm just simply sad for them. Two level ninety-five Super Douluos with Fusion Skill, who work hard and are willing to bear hardships, don't even have the courage to ask Bibi Dong for two high-age Soul Bones suitable for them. Isn't that enough to make people sigh?" Han Li asked rhetorically.
Azure Luan and Broad Hill were stunned when they heard this, and after thinking about it, it seemed to be true, and their eyes unconsciously showed a little pity.
...
After chatting with Master and Martial Uncle for a while, and after receiving another gold card worth a million Gold Soul Coins, Han Li chose to leave and headed towards his residence happily.
He had to go back and deal with those precious plants first. Although they might not be of any use to him for the time being, he had promised Chrysanthemum Douluo after all, and he would be happy to have a garden. He could find something for Xiu'er to do, so she wouldn't spend all her free time with those maids and have her mind polluted.
Soon, he returned to his residence, first calling Xiu'er over to take out the plants, and handing her the cultivation manual that Chrysanthemum Douluo had given him. After specially instructing her to take good care of them, he watched Xiu'er, who was very excited to have something to help him with. Han Li shook his head, not knowing what to say, and let her do as she pleased.
Back in his room, after instructing the maids not to disturb him, Han Li sat down at the table and took out the Plant Encyclopedia. He didn't plan to memorize it all at once, but instead looked at the booklet and fell into thought.
His fingers tapped lightly on the table, and his thoughts gradually became clear in the rhythm.
Because of the intensive training in the past three months, he didn't have time to plan his future development. Now that he had a little more time, he had to gradually bring the operable things from his previous ideas to the forefront.
He wasn't in a hurry to obtain Immortal Herbs now. From Yue Guan's records, he knew that although it was better to take Immortal Herbs as early as possible, there was still a basic threshold.
With his current strength and physique, even if he obtained them through other means, in this Douluo Continent where everything depended on Soul Skills and all other aspects were developing barbarically, he probably wouldn't be able to take them directly. Was he going to give them away to someone else?
Don't be ridiculous. He, Han Li, was not a savior, and he didn't like being a sucker.
His relationship with Broad Hill was good now, but it was definitely not good enough for him to hide everything for him. It was still unstable, so he should still follow the original plan and take his time. When necessary, he wouldn't mind sacrificing himself and directly engage in a marriage alliance.
Cough, cough, actually, Snake Woman Du Gu Yan was originally his first choice in his previous plan. He just didn't know if the Plane Consciousness of Douluo had any blessing for him in the field of finding a mother.
Of course, these were things for the future. Right now, he still had important things that needed to be slowly brought up. How to propose them more rationally was what he needed to consider most.
Han Li constantly searched for one feasible idea after another in his mind, and quickly deduced the consequences and decisively abandoned them. This situation lasted for nearly an hour before a smile appeared on his face.
