Douluo Continent: Starting with a Heavenly Fire Judgment

Chapter 305 Good Guy Card

Ji Lin was not surprised by the choice of the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass. Not all immortal herbs are like the Fragrant Silk Immortal Herb, unwilling to leave the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire.

The Eight-Cornered Ice Grass had long wanted to see the outside world. He was tired of the lonely and peaceful life in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye. If he could leave, he would have run away long ago.

Ji Lin's arrival gave him hope, and the appearance of the Holy Mark made him make his choice without hesitation.

Ji Lin was very satisfied with the choice of the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass and asked the Ice Emperor to teach the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass how to open up the Sacred Mark Space.

He then followed the records in the book in his hand to select other immortal herbs from the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, intending to take them back to give to others. Currently, the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire only has four intelligent 100,000-year-old immortal herbs: Fragrant Qiluo Immortal Herb, Qiluo Tulip, Eight-Cornered Mysterious Ice Grass, and Blazing Apricot Delicate Sparse. There is also a 100,000-year-old Acacia Heartbreak Red, but the Acacia Heartbreak Red has not yet awakened its intelligence. Ji Lin was also self-aware and did not try to pick the Acacia Heartbreak Red.

If it were Wang Qiu'er or Xu Jiujiu, they might be able to pick it, but if it were Ji Lin, he probably wouldn't be able to. Just kidding, this is too much to ask of our young master Ji Lin.

Ji Lin used his spiritual power to carefully observe all the plant-type soul beasts within the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. Many of those plant-type soul beasts possessed tens of thousands of years of cultivation, and some even had nearly a hundred thousand years of cultivation.

Besides the 100,000-year-old Acacia Heartbreak Red, there is another Acacia Heartbreak Red that is nearly 100,000 years old, and there is also an Earth Dragon Golden Melon that has a cultivation of nearly 100,000 years.

The Earth Dragon Golden Melon possesses the ability of an earth dragon to turn over, making it most suitable for Soul Masters with Earth-attribute Martial Souls, especially those with Earth-attribute Dragon-type Martial Souls.

Ji Lin has no earth-attribute soul masters by his side, but he does have Nan Qiuqiu and Wang Qiu'er with dragon-type martial souls.

Then there are rare medicinal herbs like the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum and the Eight-Petaled Immortal Orchid, which have a cultivation level of around 50,000 years.

This level of immortal herb would certainly have some effect on Ji Lin, but it wouldn't be very suitable for him. However, it should be very useful for Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong'er.

Soon, Ji Lin discovered a Primordial Immortal Herb that would be extremely beneficial to him. This herb was a treasure for enhancing soul power cultivation. Furthermore, it could assist in compressing soul power and condensing the soul core. It had no other special attributes, its medicinal effects were mild, and it could be absorbed by any soul master.

The more singular the effect of the herb, the greater the enhancement within that single effect.

This Primordial Immortal Herb boasts a cultivation period of 60,000 years, enough to assist a peak Soul Douluo-level Soul Master in successfully condensing their Soul Core and breaking through to the Title Douluo realm. During this process, the possibility of failing to condense the Soul Core is virtually zero. This is because Soul Masters capable of cultivating to the peak of the Soul Douluo realm possess exceptionally high-quality Martial Souls and profound foundations.

This Primordial Immortal Herb essentially helps Soul Masters skip the most crucial and difficult steps of compressing Soul Power and condensing the Soul Core, and the resulting Soul Core will be extremely stable. Afterwards, all that's needed is to naturally control the Soul Core to fuse with oneself.

This is the efficacy of top-grade medicinal herbs.

Ji Lin decided to give this Primordial Immortal Herb to Zhang Lexuan. Zhang Lexuan is not far from becoming a Title Douluo. With the help of this Primordial Immortal Herb, she should be able to condense her soul core and break through to become a Title Douluo soon.

Ji Lin took a step and came to the pure white, jade-like Primordial Immortal Herb.

The Fragrant Fairy Flower and the Fairy Tulip Flower also noticed Ji Lin's actions, but did not stop him. The Fragrant Fairy Flower drooped its branches sullenly, looking very unhappy.

She had clearly promised that person, but she broke her promise. There was nothing she could do about it; it was Ji Lin's fault for being so unethical and bringing a quasi-god to rob them.

Under the watchful eyes of Youxiang Qiluo Xianpin and others, Ji Lin reached out with his left hand and touched the jade-like Hunyuan Immortal Grass.

The Primordial Immortal Herb trembled slightly, and a strong white light surged forth from it, its powerful energy pushing outwards. However, this solid, almost tangible white light was completely melted away by the crimson flames in Ji Lin's hand.

After only a moment of instinctive resistance, the Primordial Immortal Herb stopped resisting and allowed Ji Lin to take it down, though the roots were still preserved.

Ji Lin wouldn't exhaust the resources; this Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye is a treasure trove. Leaving seeds here will also leave opportunities for future generations. Of course, they must first overcome the hurdle of the Azure Phosphorous Seven Absolute Flowers outside.

A phantom white light rose from the roots of the Primordial Immortal Grass. The white light bowed to Ji Lin and then merged back into the roots.

The 60,000-year-old Primordial Immortal Herb has developed sentience, but it is unable to communicate. The Primordial Immortal Herb knows that it is powerless to resist Ji Lin. Although its 60,000-year cultivation has been destroyed due to the loss of its original body, Ji Lin has left it with roots and origins, so it can continue to survive. In this Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, it will soon be able to rely on its roots to cultivate and recover its cultivation.

Ji Lin didn't try to kill him, so he naturally wouldn't be ungrateful.

The Primordial Immortal Herb appeared slender, yet it felt heavy and substantial in the hand. Ji Lin stored the Primordial Immortal Herb in a jade box, then looked up at another immortal herb—a Star Luo Spirit Pearl, approximately seventy to eighty thousand years old. It appeared to lack sentience. The Star Luo Spirit Pearl was the gentlest and most human-friendly of all immortal herbs. It was extremely difficult to awaken sentience within itself, but after fusing with a human, it could become the human's soul core in the future. Every night, the Star Luo Spirit Pearl absorbed the essence of the stars and moon to enhance itself. Its branches were a rare black, but at the top grew a palm-sized golden fruit.

This Star Luo Spirit Pearl is very suitable for Xu Jiujiu. If Xu Jiujiu consumes the Star Luo Spirit Pearl, her Star Crown Martial Soul will have a high chance of evolving, and the stage of condensing a soul core for a Title Douluo will also disappear. When Xu Jiujiu breaks through to the peak of Soul Douluo, the Star Luo Spirit Pearl will naturally transform into Xu Jiujiu's soul core.

He gifted Meng Hongchen and Ling Luochen the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow to help their martial souls evolve. Of course, he also didn't forget Xu Jiujiu and Zhang Lexuan, as well as Xiaoxiao and Wang Dong'er, Ye Guyi and Nan Qiuqiu, Nana, and others.

If Chi Yuan's cultivation level weren't so high, these immortal herbs wouldn't be of much use to her, and Ji Lin was even prepared to let Chi Yuan choose one to take.

Finally, Ji Lin looked at the Qiluo Tulip.

Qiluo Tulip understood perfectly; he was very clever and knew what Ji Lin meant.

Without hesitation, under his control, golden pollen drifted out from the golden tulip at the top of his body and gathered in front of Ji Lin. When the pollen appeared, its magnificent and rich fragrance even overpowered the delicate floral scent of the fragrant and elegant fairy product.

"This is the essence of pollen I've cultivated for ten thousand years; it should be of some help to you."

The scent of the tulips had faded considerably, but there was little resistance to it.

As a celestial herb, it knew this day would come sooner or later. This was their destiny as celestial herbs. Being able to retain their original form and only give up some essence was already a good ending.

Ji Lin took out another jade box and collected the essence pollen released by the Qiluo Tulip, then nodded.

After storing the jade box in his storage soul tool, Ji Lin never looked at the other immortal herbs again.

For ordinary Soul Masters, the immortal herbs here are rare treasures. But in his opinion, only some of them are useful to him; the others either don't match his attributes or have conflicting medicinal properties.

It's important to know that more of these medicinal herbs isn't necessarily better. The medicinal properties of different herbs can sometimes conflict significantly, so moderation is key. Excessive consumption is actually detrimental.

Anyway, the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire is right here; he can always come back and retrieve it when needed in the future. He can use it to train disciples of the Freedom Sect or to win over other forces.

The only thing that still attracts Ji Lin to the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire are the two Acacia Heartbreak Red plants. As a divine-grade herb among immortal herbs, the Acacia Heartbreak Red is enough to support him in condensing his second soul core. With his accumulated experience, he is at least 95% confident that he will successfully condense his second soul core, if not absolutely certain.

However, he cannot pick these two Acacia Heartbreak Red flowers now; he can only wait until later to bring Wang Qiu'er and Xu Jiujiu here.

Ji Lin looked at the Youxiang Qiluo Immortal Item that was pretending to be dead, and shook his head with amusement. Ever since Ji Lin asked Qiluo Tulip for his essence, Youxiang Qiluo Immortal Item had started to play dead, afraid that Ji Lin would notice her.

Sensing Ji Lin's gaze, the Fragrant Silk Fairy Item trembled slightly.

Ji Lin chuckled and said, "Alright, stop pretending to be dead. I won't make things difficult for you since you gave me that 'Waiting for Autumn Dew' plant."

"Really? You're so kind. I misunderstood you before. You're a good person."

The fragrant and elegant fairy opened its large pink petals, revealing its purple stamens, and carefully spoke.

Ji Lin shook his head. He had just received a "good guy" card. The Fragrant Qiluo Immortal Item could cure all poisons, but Ji Lin's ultimate fire and ultimate ice were themselves the nemesis of all poisons. The Qiluo Heart of the Fragrant Qiluo Immortal Item was dispensable to him. He looked in the direction of Xue Di and Lie Huo Xing Jiao Shu. Xue Di nodded to him, indicating that she had already taught Lie Huo Xing Jiao Shu the method of opening the Holy Mark.

Ji Lin nodded. Although the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye consisted of two lakes, it did not cover a large area. Ji Lin walked steadily and soon followed the path to the front of the Fiery Apricot Tree.

The Fiery Apricot Blossom is clearly more domineering than the Fragrant Silk Immortal Herb. Within a twenty-zhang radius of its growth, not a single blade of grass grows. Even beyond twenty zhang, the majority of the plants that do grow are red or nearly red. Undoubtedly, they are all fire-attribute plants.

The Fiery Apricot Blossom is undoubtedly the overlord of fire-attribute plants here, occupying the very center of the Blazing Sun Spring.

With one step, I finally entered that barren place.

Ji Lin felt a wave of scorching heat rush towards him. The surrounding air seemed to distort violently.

However, this temperature was not enough to affect him.

Liehuo Xingjiao swayed slightly and said, "I've learned it. Let's begin."
