50: Chapter 50: Continuing the Role of Tang San
That poisonous mist, which could instantly kill birds and made even ten-thousand-year Spirit Beasts wary, touched the golden Soul Power barrier like ice and snow meeting a blazing fire, instantly dissolving completely without a single trace seeping in.
The four children stood inside the barrier, watching the dark green poisonous mist rolling outside and listening to the sizzling corrosion sounds from within, unable to help but marvel at the strength of a Titled Douluo.
The deadly poison formation, which was a narrow escape from death for ordinary Spirit Masters, was as easy as walking in their own backyard before the two level-97 Titled Douluo.
In just the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the group passed through the thick poisonous mist and walked out of the poison formation's range.
When the scene before them was completely revealed, everyone instantly held their breath, stunned on the spot.
They were standing on the edge of a basin, with a huge circular valley at their feet, and in the very center of the valley, there was a spring with a diameter of tens of meters.
The spring was divided into two; the spring water on the left emitted bone-chilling cold, the ice-blue water rolling ceaselessly, even causing the surrounding air to condense into ice crystals; the spring water on the right, however, surged with scalding heat, the crimson water boiling, and the surrounding stones were scorched red.
One ice and one fire, one cold and one hot, the two extremely opposing forces blended perfectly in the center of the spring, forming an incredible Tai Chi pattern, while the rich Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi almost materialized, rushing towards them.
Surrounding the spring grew all kinds of strange-looking flowers and grasses, each emitting astonishing Spiritual Qi, with colorful light flowing around them, clearly not ordinary objects at a glance.
This was precisely the unique Heaven and Earth treasure of the Douluo Continent—the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well!
"My god... this... this is too spectacular!" The Coiling Dragon Rod in Qiangu Jue's hand clattered to the ground, his eyes wide open, muttering, "So many Immortal Plants! And this spring water! Is this the blessed land mentioned in ancient books?!"
"The blessed land described in ancient books actually exists... This Spiritual Qi is too dense! Standing here, I can feel my Soul Power rising on its own!"
Oupai put away the Godly Zhuge Crossbow, looking at the Immortal Plants all over the ground, and swallowed hard: "Any single herb here, if taken out, would make Spirit Masters across the whole continent fight to the death for it, right? No wonder such a powerful poison formation was set up to guard it..."
The three of Gui Mengguan exchanged glances, seeing understanding and excitement in each other's eyes.
It's a success! We really found the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well!
Before, the big brother couldn't get in, ultimately because the successor arranged by the Asura God hadn't arrived yet.
Later, Dugu Bo was the first to enter, waiting for Alternative to arrive.
Now that they have arrived early, it wouldn't matter even if Dugu Bo were here now.
Alternative stood at the very front, looking at the familiar yet strange Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well before him, and the Immortal Plants surrounding it that only existed in Tang Sect records, his fingertips trembling slightly, his eyes filled with undisguised excitement.
Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, blazing apricot delicate, Yearning Heartbroken Red, Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng, strange velvet sky chrysanthemum, Eight Petal Immortal Orchid... all the Immortal Plants he had only seen in records in his past Life were now growing vividly before his eyes!
Alternative was trembling all over; the Blue Silver Grass in his palm grew uncontrollably, its leaves spreading wildly, greedily absorbing the rich Life aura around him and the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi emitted by the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
He could clearly feel that his Blue Silver Emperor Spirit was expressing unprecedented longing at this moment; every Immortal Plant and every wisp of aura here could allow his Life-type auxiliary Spirit to achieve a qualitative leap!
Demon Subduing Douluo and Thousand Jun Douluo were also full of shock; the two brothers had lived for over a hundred years and traveled across most of the Douluo Continent, yet they had never seen such a miraculous Heaven and Earth spectacle.
Demon Subduing Douluo couldn't help but gasp: "Good heavens! No wonder the Dugu family hides here and sets up a poison formation; occupying such a divine place, I wouldn't leave either if it were me!"
The two looked at each other, seeing shock and relief in each other's eyes.
Fortunately, they followed this group of children; such an Opportunity, even for a Titled Douluo, was a heaven-sent fortune that one could only encounter once in a lifetime!
Demon Subduing Douluo was the first to regain his senses, laughed heartily, and patted Qiangu Jue on the shoulder: "Good lads! You are truly the lucky stars of our Spirit Hall! You actually found such a treasure trove! Today, whatever you see here, take whatever you like!"
Just as everyone was excited, and Qiangu Jue had rolled up his sleeves, intending to pull out the most conspicuous strange velvet sky chrysanthemum with golden flowers, Alternative suddenly stepped forward quickly, reached out to stop him, his tone urgent yet steady: "Qiangu Jue, don't touch it!"
Qiangu Jue's hand stopped in mid-air, and he turned his head with a confused look: "What's wrong, Third Brother? This flower looks so full of Spiritual Qi, isn't it a good thing?"
"It is a good thing, but it is also the most delicate Immortal Plant." Alternative let go, his gaze sweeping over the strange flowers and grasses all over the ground, and he spoke to everyone with a solemn expression.
"Two grandfathers, and brothers, don't be in a hurry to pick them yet. Every Immortal Plant here has its own characteristics, and the vast majority have specific harvesting conditions. A moment of carelessness will cause most of the Immortal Plant's medicinal properties to be lost, or even cause it to wither and become useless. Furthermore, quite a few Immortal Plants are highly poisonous themselves; even touching a little of their sap can be fatal for a Spirit Master."
His Life-type Blue Silver Grass Spirit was naturally homologous with these plants; just by being close, he could clearly perceive the massive energy contained within each Immortal Plant, as well as the terrifying toxicity hidden within a few of them that was enough to kill a Titled Douluo.
The records in the Tang Sect classics from his past Life regarding the Immortal Plants of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well clearly emerged in his mind at this moment; he remembered every name, medicinal property, harvesting method, and taboo of each Immortal Plant clearly.
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone instantly stopped their movements; Qiangu Jue continued acting, hurriedly withdrew his hand, and shrank his neck in lingering fear: "So scary? I thought I could just pull it up directly."
Oupai also frowned, slightly retracting the Godly Zhuge Crossbow at his fingertips, and said in a deep voice: "Is there danger even in touching them? Then aren't we just able to look at these Immortal Plants but not take them?"
Thousand Jun Douluo and Demon Subduing Douluo looked at each other, the excitement on their faces fading a bit, replaced by a bit of difficulty.
The two of them were attack system Titled Douluos, dealing with Spirits, Soul Power, and combat their whole lives, and they knew nothing about these plant Immortal Plants. Let alone distinguishing medicinal properties or knowing harvesting conditions, they couldn't even tell which were poisonous and which were not.
"This is troublesome."
Demon Subduing Douluo scratched his head and said with some annoyance: "If I had known, I would have returned to Spirit City first and called that lad Yue Guan over. That guy has a plant-type Spirit and has dealt with flowers and plants his whole Life; he knows these Immortal Plants best, and there are few people on the whole continent who understand this better than him."
"Going back to call someone now would take several days for a round trip." Thousand Jun Douluo frowned slightly, his gaze sweeping over the Immortal Plants all over the ground, his eyes full of regret, "Besides, this is someone else's territory after all. If we stay here too long, we will inevitably alert the person who set up the formation, and that would complicate matters."
Just at this moment, Gui Mengguan, Qiangu Jue, and Oupai exchanged a look, each of their mouths curling into an imperceptible sneer, and the internal barrage in their hearts started scrolling instantly.
【Gui Mengguan: Hilarious, still thinking about calling Chrysanthemum Douluo; did you forget we have the real expert right here?】
