Hao Qi completely ignored Tian Shuwen's fist and directly faced Sid. His hands moved like flying flowers, forming a web-like pattern. As he moved, golden light burst from his palms, and a Buddha seal appeared. This Buddha seal was at least twice as large as the one he used against Li Ming in the Blue Shadow Republic, and its density was incomparably greater. With just a light touch, Sid's kick was broken at the tip, and he let out a惨叫 and tried to retreat. At the same moment, Tian Shuwen's fist struck Hao Qi's back, but this only made Hao Qi move forward even faster. Almost as soon as Sid began to retreat, Hao Qi was already right in front of him.

At this moment, Sid felt an unprecedented fear. There was a fiery light in the young man's eyes, a light he couldn't quite understand—like anger, like passion, like heat, like...

Hao Qi's eyes were bloodshot, and Sid's fear was like that of a man facing death. Finally, there was a crisp sound, and the golden Buddha seal was directly stamped on Sid's head. Sid's head exploded like a watermelon, with white, red, and pink matter splattering, a sight that was particularly terrifying...

Li Yu had already rushed to Zhang Heng and was choking him by the neck. If he applied any force, Zhang Heng would surely die. However, Li Yu was trembling all over, not daring to move. Similarly, Tian Shuwen and the other top students in the distance...

Sid's head was completely shattered by Hao Qi's hands, and he slowly collapsed to the ground. The sound of his fall made Li Yu, Tian Shuwen, and the other top students in the distance shudder, as if their own bodies had fallen to the ground.

Hao Qi shook his hand and turned to Li Yu in the distance, saying coldly, "Go ahead, kill him for me."

Li Yu's face was a mix of green and red, his hand tightly gripping Zhang Heng's neck, but he didn't dare to move a finger. Hao Qi ignored him and shouted loudly, "Zhang Heng! Tell me, what is the effect of the crimson blue grass!?"

"What, what?" Zhang Heng was already stunned by the series of events, from initial surprise to despair, then a turn of events, and finally being held hostage. All these experiences made him feel as if he had been reborn. Now, Hao Qi was suddenly asking him about the effect of the crimson blue grass, and he was still in shock.

Hao Qi shouted again, "Tell me, right now! What is the effect of the crimson blue grass!?"

Zhang Heng's face turned red, and he mumbled. Seeing Hao Qi covered in blood, with fresh blood and fragments continuously spewing from his mouth, a mix of shame and gratitude made tears stream down his face. Honestly, he had only studied the growth environment and ecosystem of the heavenly treasures, and he knew nothing about medicine. So he shouted back, "It promotes blood circulation and removes blood stasis, nourishes yin and supplements yang!"

As soon as these words were spoken, laughter came from the group of top students in the distance. What a joke, a precious heavenly treasure, and Zhang Heng, who had not studied it, described it as promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, nourishing yin and supplementing yang. Did he think it was a dog skin plaster or a medicine for bruises?

Hao Qi chuckled, and his feet began to move towards Tian Shuwen. Tian Shuwen instinctively took a step back, feeling ashamed that he, a master of inner strength, had been scared back. He stood there, raising his fist, while Li Yu, in the distance, applied a little more force to Zhang Heng's neck and shouted, "Don't move! Don't move!"

Hao Qi ignored him and walked step by step towards Tian Shuwen. When he was ten steps away, he shouted, "Scholar, what is the effect of the crimson blue grass?"

Tian Shuwen was fully focused on Hao Qi. Seeing that Hao Qi was not getting any closer, he slightly relaxed and said, "The crimson blue grass is a precious heavenly treasure. It can neutralize toxins, regenerate flesh and bones, and purify inner strength. For ordinary people, it can slightly enhance their natural physical abilities, and it can also..."

"Bullshit!"

Hao Qi roared, and with a powerful step, he charged at Tian Shuwen. His hands moved like flying flowers, forming a web-like pattern that almost blocked all of Tian Shuwen's escape routes. Tian Shuwen, a master of inner strength with rich combat experience, saw that he could not avoid the attack but also saw through the superficiality of the palm, which was not very powerful. He immediately used his fist as a spear and forcefully thrust it towards Hao Qi's throat.

However, as soon as the fist was thrust out, a burst of golden light emerged from Hao Qi's other hand, and the Buddha seal directly struck Tian Shuwen's fist. There was a crisp sound, and Tian Shuwen let out a惨叫. His fist was shattered by the golden light of the Buddha seal, and the remaining light, about one-third of the original, struck his chest, sending him flying back twenty meters. Tian Shuwen was now lying on the ground, unable to even turn over.

Hao Qi, still spewing blood, walked step by step towards Tian Shuwen and shouted, "Scholar, tell me, what is the effect of the crimson blue grass!?"

Tian Shuwen felt as if his internal organs were burning. This palm not only rendered him unable to fight but also displaced his organs, shattered his chest bones, and severely injured his lungs. If Hao Qi struck him again, even a simple punch would easily kill him.

Hearing Hao Qi's question, Tian Shuwen, in his fear, did not know how to answer. As Hao Qi walked step by step towards him, looking down at him like a corpse, the scent of death seemed to envelop him.

"Spare my life, spare my life. It was all Sid's instigation; we knew nothing about it. Spare my life. I am one of the eight masters of inner strength in the Hundred Grasses Kingdom. There are five more masters of inner strength. Spare my life..."

Hao Qi looked at Tian Shuwen coldly, slowly raised his fist, and asked again, "Scholar, what is the effect of the crimson blue grass? Be careful, you only have one chance to speak."

Tian Shuwen was so scared that he even wet himself. In that moment, his past seemed to flash through his mind, and his hair turned gray at a visible speed. Suddenly, he shouted, "The effect of the crimson blue grass is to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, nourish yin and supplement yang!"

Hao Qi looked at Tian Shuwen coldly, and Tian Shuwen's eyes were full of fear. In that fearful gaze, Hao Qi slowly lowered his fist and then looked at Li Yu, who was like a frightened bird in the distance, and said, "You can't escape. The entrance has been destroyed by me. Unless you dig your way out, you can't escape. So now, answer my question. Remember, you only have one chance. If you answer incorrectly, kill Zhang Heng and then commit suicide. Otherwise, I will tear you to pieces and make you regret being alive. The question is..."

"Promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis! Nourish yin and supplement yang!! The effect of the crimson blue grass is to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis! Nourish yin and supplement yang!!" Li Yu suddenly released Zhang Heng and retreated several meters before shouting loudly.

Hao Qi looked at Li Yu coldly for a long time, then turned his gaze to the group of top students. The top students, now like birds startled by thunder, all said in unison, "The effect of the crimson blue grass is to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, nourish yin and supplement yang!" They were afraid that Hao Qi would be unsatisfied and, unlike Tian Shuwen and Li Yu, who only said it once, they repeated it like a broken record.

Hao Qi looked at them for a long time, then turned to Zhang Heng and shouted, "Zhang Heng, are we friends? Have I betrayed your trust?"

Zhang Heng's mind flashed with the events of the past twenty years—being bullied, humiliated, beaten, stalked, and deceived...

Tears streamed down his face, and he cried like a child, using all his strength to shout.

"You are my friend! You have not betrayed my trust!"

"Wow..."

Amidst the repeated cries of "promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, nourish yin and supplement yang," Zhang Heng knelt on the ground, crying loudly, as if trying to cry out all the委屈 of the past twenty years...

Behind him, the crimson blue grass absorbed the mist emitted by all the blue grass, gradually, gradually, gradually...

It matured.

From that year on, in certain places underground in the Hundred Grasses Kingdom, a precious heavenly treasure could be artificially cultivated, the only one in the Blue Sea region that could be artificially cultivated. Even though it could be artificially cultivated, it was still a precious heavenly treasure, and its price remained astonishingly high. Of course, its effects were also astonishing. According to the records in the Materia Medica of the Hundred Grasses Kingdom University, the effects of the crimson blue grass are as follows:

Crimson blue grass, worth a thousand gold, is extremely rare and precious, gathering the essence of heaven and earth. Its effects far surpass those of all ordinary herbs and are the dream of all martial artists. Its unique effects are: promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, nourishing yin and supplementing yang.
