Douluo Continent: Starting with a Heavenly Fire Judgment

Chapter 302 Be Gentle

Ji Lin stroked his chin. He remembered that Tang San had left a book in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. It was the medicine and poison chapters of the Xuan Tian Bao Lu, which recorded detailed information about all the rare and precious herbs in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. Ji Lin only remembered the medicinal effects and usage methods of some of the immortal herbs, but he was completely clueless about the others. This book was still quite useful to him.

Thinking of this, Ji Lin revealed a sly smile. He feigned surprise and said, "So this really is the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire? It turns out I didn't come to the wrong place."

The large flower of the Fragrant Silk Fairy suddenly shook violently. "Could you have been sent by that person?! It was actually that person! Is he alright?"

Ji Lin naturally knew who the person Youxiang Qiluo Xianpin was talking about was, but Ji Lin had no intention of pretending to have any connection with that person.

Ji Lin shook his head and said, "I think you must have misunderstood. I don't know who you are talking about. I came here by chance and learned about the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well by accident."

"I heard there's a book here that records knowledge about medicinal herbs. Could you give me that book, and let me take some medicinal herbs with me as well?"

The large flower of the Fragrant Silk Fairy suddenly shook violently. "Ah, ah, ah! You actually know that book? And you said you didn't know that person. How is he? We haven't seen him in so long. He doesn't even come to see us. Really, really."

Ji Lin knew that Youxiang Qiluo Xianpin had misunderstood. "I don't know if he's good or not. Is that book with you?"

"Yes. I am here." The purple stamen of the fragrant Qiluo Immortal Flower trembled slightly, and an antique-looking book made of some unknown material appeared.

A glint of light flashed in Ji Lin's eyes as he asked, "Could you give me this book?"

"No way. I've preserved it for ten thousand years, how can I give it to you so easily?" Youxiang Qiluo Immortal said with great reluctance.

"That person also said that this book can only be left to his descendants, to someone destined to receive it. Moreover, his descendants must pass a test to obtain the book. So, if you want to get it, you must do two things: prove that you are his descendant, and then pass the test. Then you can take it."

Ji Lin frowned, already getting a little impatient. If it weren't for the fact that creating a perfect Sacred Mark required the soul beasts to volunteer, Ji Lin wouldn't be speaking so politely to the Fragrant Qiluo Immortal Herbs. He wanted to build a good relationship with the immortal herbs so that he could persuade them to volunteer to become perfect Sacred Marks later.

Ji Lin suppressed his impatience and asked calmly, "What kind of test?"

The voice of the fragrant fairy suddenly turned serious. "The trial is dangerous. You might die. This is a rule left by that person. He said this place is a paradise, and bad humans must never know about it. If anyone impersonates his descendant, they must die. I won't kill you, but it's hard to say about the others. Are you sure you want to participate in the trial?"

Ji Lin curled his lip, inwardly disdainful. Just because someone isn't his descendant doesn't mean they're bad humans. What kind of twisted logic is that? Just say it's a treasure left to his descendants, and everyone else, good or bad, has to die.

"What if I don't participate in the test?"

The Fragrant Fairy said matter-of-factly, "Then you may leave on your own, but you may not take any of the fairy herbs with you."

Ji Lin's lips curled into a playful smile. He didn't believe that these 100,000-year-old immortal herbs would let him leave so easily.

He knew what the so-called test was, but oh well, if he was too forceful, he could forget about getting the perfect Stigmata. He'd just play along with these rare herbs for now.

Ji Lin said, "Alright, tell me what kind of test it is."

"The test is very simple. You just need to eat one of these herbs to pass. But I must warn you first, many of these herbs are highly poisonous and may kill you. You should think carefully."

Ji Lin smiled. The Fragrant Qiluo Immortal Herb in front of him was the nemesis of all poisons and a holy antidote. If he were really poisoned, he could just have Chi Yuan pick this Fragrant Qiluo Immortal Herb and feed it to him. The antidote was right in front of him, so why would he be afraid of being poisoned!

Ji Lin approached the Fragrant Silk Immortal Herb and said, "I accept the test. Bring me the herbs you mentioned."

"Hehe, okay! You're really brave. Let me think, what should I give you to eat?" Youxiang Qiluo Xianpin seemed very happy, her large pink flowers swaying back and forth.

After a moment of leisurely consideration, a purple light drifted out from its stamen.

Ji Lin did not dodge, but allowed the purple light to envelop his body.

He wasn't afraid that the Fragrant Qiluo Immortal Item would harm him. Putting aside the Snow Emperor and others in his Sacred Mark Space, Chi Yuan was right beside him. With Chi Yuan's powerful mental strength, as long as the Fragrant Qiluo Immortal Item made any move, Chi Yuan would take action immediately.

A moment later, the purple light receded. The large pink flower of Youxiang Qiluo trembled slightly, muttering to itself, "Hmm, I see your spiritual power is unusually strong, so I'll give you this."

As it spoke, another beam of purple light shot out from its stamen. This beam of purple light traveled an extremely long distance, spanning over a hundred meters, and landed in a patch of vegetation in the distance.

The purple light paused only slightly before slowly receding.

Soon, Zi Guang appeared before Ji Lin with a medicinal herb. It was an inconspicuous herb, entirely green, but strangely, in the center of the herb were three snow-white leaves, with a few water droplets in the center of the leaves, like morning dew.

"Longing until my eyes are dry from waiting."

Ji Lin recognized the herb in front of him at a glance, thanks to his memories from his previous life.

It seems that this fragrant and exquisite fairy product really doesn't have any ill intentions towards him.

Ji Lin decided that if they couldn't reach an agreement later, she would ask Chi Yuan to be gentle with her.

"So, how should I take it?"

To be honest, Ji Lin had genuinely forgotten the method of consumption. This was also the reason he wanted the book Tang San had left behind, because he had forgotten the methods for consuming most of the immortal herbs. So many years had passed, and he had indeed forgotten some details from his past life's memories. He only remembered the general outline.

The Fragrant Fairy asked, "Let me ask you a question first. No matter how you came to this Yin-Yang Well, there must be a reason. Don't tell me you just came here out of curiosity."

Ji Lin chuckled and said, "Of course, I came here because I heard this place is a treasure trove, and I came for these rare and precious materials."

"You're willing to risk your life just for a few rare and precious herbs?" Youxiang Qiluo Xianpin was almost speechless, and said incredulously.

"Aren't you humans quite afraid of death?"

Ji Lin's lips twitched. He couldn't very well say that he could come and go as he pleased in this place, and that these immortal herbs were too weak to threaten his life at all; that would be somewhat of a provocation.

He could only helplessly reply, "Fortune favors the bold."

Youxiang Qiluo pondered for a moment, seemingly lost in thought.

After a while, he returned to his previous talkative self.

"Hmm, never mind. It's your choice anyway. By the way, my name is Youyou, isn't it a nice name? I'm only telling you because you're so brave. Open your mouth and tilt your head back."

Ji Lin thought to himself, "Since you mean me no harm, I'll be gentle with you later."

He followed Youyou's instructions one by one.

Under the control of the fragrant and elegant fairy product, the Dewdrop slowly came to Ji Lin's front. It tilted slightly, and the few drops of transparent, dew-like liquid on the leaf poured into his mouth.

Ji Lin felt a sweet sensation slide down his throat, followed by a clear, fragrant aroma that filled every corner of his body.

Ji Lin discovered that the liquid had a similar fragrance to the Fragrant Silk Immortal Elixir, and was extremely easy to absorb. As soon as he drank it, it immediately became one with his body. A refreshing sensation spread throughout his entire body.

Ji Lin dared not delay and immediately sat down cross-legged, quietly sensing every subtle change in his body.

With Chi Yuan protecting him, he wasn't worried that the immortal herbs of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well would attack him.

Before long, the cool sensation spread throughout his body. Gradually, the coolness began to recede, flowing slowly upwards along his body's meridians from his limbs and bones, towards his head.

The cooling medicinal effect did not travel along his meridians like his soul power, but rather merged with his bloodline, moving with the flow of his blood.

It passed through his heart and cervical spine, and finally exploded suddenly in his head.

The instantaneous burst of coolness made Ji Lin feel a refreshing sensation in his mind.

Although Ji Lin did not have a method to train his eyes, nor did he have a physical martial soul eye, he did have a mental-type head soul bone that was a million years old. Under the effects of the "Looking Through Autumn Water Dew," Ji Lin felt his mental power slowly increasing, and his eyes were also cleansed by cool energy, making him feel unprecedentedly comfortable.

In the Sea of ​​Spirit, the ocean, which had turned emerald green due to the gold of life, now had an additional layer of purplish luster. The two colors blended together, making it look even more magnificent.

As the last trace of the medicine took effect, Ji Lin opened his eyes and was shocked to find that everything seemed to have changed.

The entire world seemed to gain more color; the vast universe appeared with countless subtle changes in his eyes. The seven-colored poisonous clouds in the sky transformed into countless tiny particles. And when he looked at the fragrant and exquisite immortal plant before him, he could even see the immense life force flowing within it. That life force also appeared as a faint pink, constantly flowing between the petals, stamens, and stem. He could even vaguely discern the energy fluctuations contained within the ice and fire-colored lake behind it.

Scenes that could only be observed through mental detection can now be observed with his naked eye. One can imagine how amazing the effect of the "Longing for Autumn Dew" is. This is only because Ji Lin does not have an eye-shaped martial soul or an eye-training method like the Purple Demon Eye.
