Douluo: What the hell is the academic master development system?

Chapter 731 Resisting Instead of Confronting, Solving the Dilemma (8K)

"It's not difficult at all, so why not?"

Chen Ping chuckled. These plant-type soul beasts could simply take root in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well and stay there. Even if they wanted something, they wouldn't need much.

For plant-type soul beasts, perhaps the most important thing is a treasure land that can accelerate their growth. And in all the world, is there a place that can accelerate the growth of plant-type soul beasts more than the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well?

This trip to the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire was much easier than Chen Ping had anticipated.

This illustrates the importance of circumstances being more powerful than individuals. The plant-type soul beasts here had already been harvested by Tang San ten thousand years ago, and the most powerful ones were only 100,000-year-old soul beasts that had matured thanks to the inherent characteristics of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. Their combat experience was far inferior to that of 100,000-year-old soul beasts from the outside world.

Therefore, even a single Crimson King was enough to sweep through the entire Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye. Chen Ping had also brought these old thugs with him by chance this time.

If things are like this, and he's still being tormented by the Fragrant Qiluo Immortal Item like Huo Yuhao in the original story, and even after defeating the Fiery Apricot Fairy, he still has to worry about the other party not admitting their mistakes, and only managed to suppress these bullying plant-type soul beasts thanks to the Snow Emperor, then wouldn't he have brought these people along for nothing?

Chen Ping turned to Youxiang Qiluo Xianpin: "Since you've said so, then please take care of everything I need this time."

"Tulips in full bloom, red acacia blossoms that break the heart, chrysanthemums reaching the heavens with their velvety texture, apricots in full bloom, octagonal ice grass, and dew that makes one yearn for autumn. That's all for now."

"I've already obtained the pollen of the Jade Phosphorous Ten Absolute Flowers, so I don't need to get it again. Besides that, I also want to take some of the non-celestial-grade herbs here, such as Cordyceps sinensis, Snow Lotus, and Lingzhi. Is that alright?"

Upon hearing Chen Ping's words, Youxiang Qiluo Immortal Item almost fainted. This was a direct attack on their very foundation!

"Hey human, I have the Poison Manual and Medicine Manual left by Tang San here. I'll give them to you in exchange for you taking less."

Youxiang Qiluo Xianpin said pitifully, because she noticed the impolite tone Chen Ping used when mentioning Tang San, so she started calling Tang San by his name directly.

"Tsk, I've rattled off your names like I'm reciting a menu. Do you think I need those two books you have?"

Chen Ping showed no mercy to the women. The reason these plant-type soul beasts were so docile was simply because the group of ferocious gods he had brought could keep them in check.

Otherwise, Chen Ping didn't see the original story where Liehuo Xingjiao was tormenting Huo Yuhao, and Youxiang Qiluo Xianpin didn't take the initiative to persuade him. When they rushed into the poison array, Youxiang Qiluo Xianpin didn't say anything about not daring to kill and asked them to retreat. Instead, she only came out to beg for mercy when Bilin Shijuehua was about to be crushed.

If the other party had done even one of the two points mentioned above, Chen Ping wouldn't have had to resort to such forceful tactics. But it's fine this way; he can play the bad guy peacefully without having to hold himself back.

"Okay, okay."

The fragrant and exquisite herb trembled slightly, as if it were communicating with the other celestial herbs in the area.

A few minutes later, the celestial herbs, including the Fiery Apricot, opened their petals and secreted an essence similar to scorching glue, which flew into Chen Ping's palm.

"You've worked hard this time. Here, take this. It should be of some help to you. Eat it as a snack."

Chen Ping had also gathered the materials he needed for his subsequent alchemy and took out a brittle shell that looked like a chip.

"what is this?"

The auspicious beast cast a curious glance at Chen Ping. "This is the outer shell of a Prism Grass. It sheds a layer every ten thousand years. I just saw several Prism Grasses that were eighty or ninety thousand years old. I picked this up from under their roots. Go back, wash it, dry it, and you can eat it as a snack. It should also significantly improve your Ultimate Light attribute."

"Great!"

The auspicious beast stretched out its fluffy tail and gently swept it, hiding all the gifts Chen Ping had brought into the downy fur inside its tail.

"Strange, Chen Ping, didn't you say that the number of soul beasts here would increase tenfold? How come there are still soul beasts with a level of seventy or eighty thousand here?"

The auspicious beast spoke with some curiosity.

"The tenfold growth rate is only the theoretical maximum here. In reality, this speed is related to the soul beast's own talent and its distance from the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye."

Chen Ping turned his head and glanced at the Snow Emperor, who was sharing her cultivation insights with the Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass, and couldn't help but smile.

In fact, the best evidence to support Chen Ping's statement is probably the Azure Phosphorous Ten Absolute Flowers they encountered when they broke into the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. The flower had just reached a cultivation level of 100,000 years in the past few days, which is why it couldn't speak.

Because Huo Yuhao arrived at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well before the second tournament in the original novel, while Huo Yuhao arrived after the second tournament, there was a difference of about half a year, which is why Huo Yuhao did not see the Ten Absolute Flowers hidden in the Bilin Flower bushes, but instead encountered it.

Actually, thinking about this, Chen Ping still felt a little lucky.

If the auspicious beast hadn't come along this time, even though he and the Snow Empress were quite strong and had an attribute advantage against the Jade Phosphorous Ten Absolute Flowers, the pressure they would still face against a 100,000-year-old soul beast would have been immense.

He actually benefited from the good fortune of the auspicious beast Emperor.

Having figured this out, Chen Ping suddenly understood how he should operate when he went out in the future—either bring Huo Yuhao out to play, or bring the auspicious beast out for a stroll. With the luck of the chosen one and the chosen one rubbing against each other, his bad luck would naturally not be so strong.

By charging in instead of resisting, the dilemma can be resolved!

"Human, I have given you the essence of the other immortal herbs, but you must pick the Acacia Heartbreak Red yourself."

Just then, Youxiang Qiluo Xianpin spoke up and added a sentence.

"Hehe, that's natural. There are always some things that can't be done by others."

Chen Ping's gaze shifted and landed on the palm-sized flower that was being pressed down by the dark black boulder.

Compared to the Fragrant Silk Immortal Flower before me, which is merely immune to all poisons and subtly possesses the aura of a leader among immortal flowers within the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire, the white, peony-like Acacia Heartbreak Red is the true king of flowers.

Unfortunately, it is precisely because these top-grade herbs are of such a high level that it is extremely difficult for them to develop sentience.

Even when the eldest prince Tang Wulin's heart was pierced and he was healed with the Love-Sickness Heartbreak Red during the Dragon King Legend era, this celestial herb still failed to develop any sentience.

Therefore, Chen Ping even had some doubts: if it could really develop sentience, would this Acacia Heartbreak Red be on the same level as the Golden Ancient Tree in Shrek Academy?
