Douluo: Divine Fire Xuanyuan

Chapter 329 Ten Thousand Years of Fragrant Silk Immortal Item

“Don’t worry, I have my own way. There are many antidotes for poison. Besides antidotes, the simplest ones are ice and fire,” Yuwen Tuo said. “All things in the world are made up of atoms. The movement of atoms is affected by temperature. The higher the temperature, the more vigorous the movement, and vice versa. But once the temperature is high enough, the atoms will be destroyed.”

"So, that means the ultimate fire and the ultimate ice, right?" Qiu'er immediately realized Yuwen Tuo's method: to use these two extremely powerful attributes to burn away the poison gas or freeze the poisonous clouds.

Yuwen Tuo nodded. In the original novel, Huo Yuhao relied on the ultimate ice.

He did attack with flames at first, relying on soul-guided thermal energy rays, but ordinary fire was naturally useless against the Jade Scale Nine Absolute Flowers, which had reached the ten-thousand-year level, and would even provoke a counterattack from the Jade Scale Nine Absolute Flowers.

Only the ultimate fire can do it. After absorbing the demonic flames, Yuwen Tuo's flames have already reached the level of the ultimate fire. What can this little bit of poison cloud do to him?
"Flame Emperor's Domain!"

As the domain containing the ultimate fire expanded, this special flame, capable of burning even energy bodies, instantly incinerated the patches of poisonous clouds.

The Azure Scale Nine Absolute Flowers had already gained consciousness, so they dared not contend with the ultimate fire that most restrained them.

As the large swaths of poisonous clouds dissipated, the road ahead immediately became visible.

The group immediately passed through the poisonous clouds and flew forward for an unknown period of time. Suddenly, the poisonous clouds dissipated, and the group arrived at a strange place shimmering with precious light.

Below are two unique lakes with alternating red and blue colors.

It is the Eye of Ice and Fire, one of the three legendary treasure basins, a place where the essence of heaven and earth gathers, allowing all plants to grow at a speed more than ten times faster.

Yuwen Tuo immediately spotted a large red flower. It was because of this flower that the Azure Scale Poison Cloud could not enter this place, because it was the immortal herb known as the bane of all poisons, the Fragrant Silk Immortal Herb.

During this period, it was nurtured by the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire for ten thousand years. With the tenfold acceleration of this treasure land, it has probably reached the level of one hundred thousand years and has developed sentience.

Yuwen Tuo and his group landed immediately, looking at the large red flower and saying, "Hello, you are the Fragrant Silk Immortal Item, right?"

The large red flower shook itself. "Eh, how do you know me, human? You have an aura very similar to the blazing Yangquan. No wonder you were able to get here through the poisonous clouds outside. You're lucky."

Qiu'er was startled, "A 100,000-year-old soul beast?"

For plant-type soul beasts to speak human language, they generally need to have nearly 100,000 years of cultivation or extremely high intelligence, like the Blue Silver King in the original story who helped Tang San awaken the Blue Silver Emperor.

Even if the large flower in front of me isn't a 100,000-year-old soul beast, its cultivation level wouldn't be low.

"I'm not some 100,000-year-old soul beast. I've only lived for a little over 10,000 years. I'm very young. Didn't the human next to you just say that my name is Youxiang Qiluo Immortal Item? You can call me Youyou!" The petals of the large pink flower opened and closed slightly, and her voice sounded very gentle, giving people a very comfortable feeling.

These plant-based spirit beasts, which have strong detoxification abilities but little combat power, are generally good-natured.

However, its denial of being a 100,000-year-old soul beast sounds somewhat like those little girls who don't want their age mentioned. In fact, in terms of cultivation, it has indeed reached the level of a 100,000-year-old soul beast.

“Alright, Youyou, I know this is a treasure basin. I came here today specifically to find immortal herbs. Is that alright?” Yuwen Tuo tried to be polite first, as he didn’t want to fight the 100,000-year-old soul beasts here if possible.

"You seem to know this place very well. Ah, I know, you're that person's descendant, aren't you?" Youyou didn't answer, but excitedly asked in return.

Yuwen Tuo knew who Youyou was talking about—it was Tang San. Tang San had left something behind at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, but it could only be left to his descendants.

If one wants to obtain the treasure as a descendant of Tang San, one must pass Youyou's test.

Yuwen Tuo shook his head. "I am not that guy's descendant and have nothing to do with him. But the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye is a treasure land nurtured by nature and has never been that person's exclusive property. I can promise you that, firstly, I will not take any immortal herbs that have developed sentience; secondly, I will only take one of each kind of immortal herb for my friend; and thirdly, I will not dig up the roots and will guarantee that it can regrow. If you agree, I will keep my promise. Otherwise, I will have no choice but to take it by force!"

He proactively proposed three conditions. A herb that has developed sentience is no longer an ordinary herb, but a soul beast. This is a self-imposed constraint for soul masters, and also a rule of their sect: unless for the purpose of obtaining a soul ring, they will never indiscriminately kill any soul beast.

Actually, the Body Sect originally did not have this rule; it was established two thousand years ago after the beast tide.

The beast tide caused by the Body Sect back then did kill many people, and the Body Sect was actually remorseful. However, this sect cared a lot about its reputation and was very proud, so it was impossible for them to stand up and admit their mistakes and apologize.

But they wouldn't do nothing. Their decision was to go all out to resist the beast tide, save as many people as possible, and, after the beast tide ended, establish this rule to restrain themselves.

As a disciple of the Body Sect, Yuwen Tuo would naturally abide by such reasonable sect rules.

Under normal circumstances, one person can only eat one herb, so there is no point in taking more.

Not digging into the root of the problem is the most basic thing, something that even Tang San of the Tang Sect understands, so of course the disciples of Guigu Valley can do it.

“You’re not that person’s descendant, are you? But I clearly sense that you have a similar aura to that person, and that little girl has it too.” Youyou said to Yuwentuo, then pointed at Ling Luochen with her petals.

“I feel a familiar aura on me and Sister Luo Chen? I understand now, it’s the aura of the God Realm,” Yuwen Tuo said.

Ling Luochen brushed aside his bangs and asked, "Is it this one?"

“Yes, yes, that’s it! My God, you two are actually inheritors of divine positions.” Youyou exclaimed in shock. “In that case, go ahead and take it. But you must keep your promise. You can’t take anything with intelligence, otherwise you might not be safe. Everyone here is very strong.”

Youyou's words were both a reminder and a threat.

It could let the two of them choose some immortal herbs since they both had divine inheritances, but since they were not descendants of Tang San, it would not offer them any help.

Moreover, the creatures that have developed intelligence here are all 100,000-year-old soul beasts. If a real fight breaks out, humans will not come out on top.

Even though it could tell that one of the red-haired giants was very powerful, it was still impossible for two fists to fight four hands.

What truly threatened it was Yuwen Tuo himself. Tang San had set two rules: first, the herb had to be a descendant recognized by Tang San; second, only after passing its test could one choose to take away one of the seven immortal herbs.

However, Yuwen Tuo and Ling Luochen are too special. Although they are not Tang San's descendants, they are the inheritors of other gods. It dares not disobey Tang San, but it also dares not offend the two future gods.

The other descendants of the gods naturally did not need to follow Tang San's instructions. Fortunately, the young man was not too greedy, so it had to back down a little. Anyway, it didn't know when Tang San's descendants would come. They hadn't appeared for ten thousand years. Given the growth rate of the immortal herbs in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, perhaps by the time he came, these immortal herbs would have grown back.

“Alright!” Yuwen Tuo nodded and led the group into the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

As expected of the greatest treasure land in Douluo Continent, the immortal herbs here have been nurtured for tens of thousands of years and are countless.

Yuwen Tuo also sensed several slightly hostile auras, probably from 100,000-year-old soul beasts that had gained intelligence and were somewhat resistant to him, a human.

His gaze swept across the entire Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye, and apart from Youyou, he discovered a total of five other 100,000-year-old soul beasts.

Fiery Apricot, Exquisite Tulip, Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass, Ink Jade Divine Bamboo, and Earth Dragon Golden Melon.

No wonder they all became ferocious beasts during the Dragon King Legend period; they now have a cultivation of 100,000 years. Meanwhile, the "Wangchuan Qiushui Dew" is still just an ordinary immortal herb, not yet possessing sentience.

Besides the five types mentioned above, he didn't hesitate to choose the rest.
