How could this not bring it joy?

Just like Xu Zihuang said, if all else fails, retreat first; there will always be a chance.

As for whether others will discover this treasure trove and get there first, there's no need to worry. The countless Azure Phosphorous Seven-Colored Flowers and Azure Phosphorous Nine-Colored Flowers forming the Azure Phosphorous Poisonous Mist outside the valley are not something every Soul Master can break through.

As Xu Zihuang slowly descended, the plants in the valley remained calm, none of them attempting to attack him. He chose to land at the edge of the clearing surrounding the Fragrant and Elegant Immortal Pavilion.

As soon as he landed, a faint, delicate fragrance wafted into his nostrils. Xu Zihuang remained calm, allowing the fragrance to enter his body and blend with it.

The fragrance was invigorating, and he felt his spirits instantly clear, even his mind becoming brighter. Although he had only inhaled a small amount, he felt as if his entire body had been cleansed by pure water, an indescribable sense of comfort.

The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, residing in Xu Zihuang's spiritual sea, felt it even more acutely and let out a cheap, groaning sound.

"So good! So good!"

Just as Xu Zihuang was about to try inhaling a little more fragrance, the pink petals on the Fragrant Silk Fairy Platter suddenly lit up.

A pink light shield instantly appeared around it, completely enveloping the air within a ten-zhang diameter radius, including Xu Zihuang.

Through his memories of his past life, Xu Zihuang was already familiar with the effects of the Fragrant Silk Immortal Herb. He continued to greedily inhale the even richer fragrance in the air. This time, the feeling of inhaling it was even better; the feeling of complete relaxation throughout his body made his control over his soul power much more precise.

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm smacked its lips, still seemingly unsatisfied, and asked Xu Zihuang a question.

"Zihuang, what are you planning to do? I've done a thorough search, and there are quite a few plant-type soul beasts here with 100,000 years of cultivation, but they should all be asleep right now and haven't discovered us yet. Maybe we should leave first."

It would be almost impossible for them to take away any rare and precious materials. In such a small area, if they were to dig some rare and precious materials out of the soil, it would inevitably alarm those plant-type soul beasts with 100,000 years of cultivation.

Although it has the means to take Xu Zihuang away, it will definitely not use it unless absolutely necessary.

Xu Zihuang is currently examining the other herbs surrounding the Fragrant Silk Immortal Herb, based on his memories from his previous life. Hearing Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's suggestion, he devised a story.

"Tianmeng, actually, when I was young, I read an ancient book that recorded information about this treasure land. This treasure land is called the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye. As long as you pass the test there, you can freely take away seven kinds of immortal herbs."

Having memories of his past life, passing the test for the Fragrant Silk Immortal Item should be relatively easy for him. If he fails, he can always have Tianmeng take him away again.

The allure of the immortal herbs here was simply too great for him; perhaps he could even use them to achieve a second awakening of his martial soul.

"The Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire?" Tianmeng Ice Silkworm exclaimed in surprise, without doubting Xu Zihuang's words.

After all, what he saw back then was only a part of Xu Zihuang's memories from this life, so it's normal for some things to be missed.

"Whose test would we have to pass? It wouldn't be these plant-type soul beasts with 100,000 years of cultivation, would it?"

Xu Zihuang did not respond, but slowly extended his left hand. A deep purple flame, carrying an aura of extreme destruction, once again enveloped it.

When the light appeared, the large pink flower of the Fragrant Silk Immortal trembled slightly, the purple stamens rippled slightly, and a layer of pink halo immediately spread from its body.

The light was noticeably more intense than the surrounding light barrier, and it carried a faint sense of majesty.

A gentle female voice rang out clearly.

"Human. It's your good fortune to be here, but if you try to provoke me again, don't blame me for being impolite."

Xu Zihuang's heart stirred slightly, and a barely perceptible smile appeared deep in his eyes as he feigned great surprise.

"Huh? You can actually talk?!"

Her hands, as if in a state of shock and uncertainty, began to wave wildly, dancing with abandon. With each flicker of the deep purple flame on her crystal-clear, jade-like palms, the petals of the fragrant, exquisite fairy plant would tremble.

The seemingly composed Youxiang Qiluo Fairy finally dropped her act and screamed in surprise.

"Stop! Stop! Stop! Don't come any closer!"

Although the Fragrant Silk Fairy possessed a cultivation of 100,000 years, having never been in contact with humans, her nature was even more innocent than that of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm. From her lack of confidence, Xu Zihuang could easily tell that her previous display of authority was merely a pretense.

He knew very well that even if this fragrant and exquisite immortal product had a cultivation of 100,000 years, it would not be pleasant if it were tainted by his light flame containing the aura of destruction.

Xu Zihuang seemed to snap out of his daze, put away the flames in his palm, and stared at the fragrant and elegant fairy product swaying in front of him.

He understood the principle of moderation. A simple deterrent was enough; provoking him too much would not do him any good.

Tianmeng Bingcan stared in disbelief at Xu Zihuang's move.

"Zihuang, you usually seem quite serious, but I didn't expect you to be so cunning when it comes to playing tricks."

"Hehe. But I like it. Anyway, it's not for me to use." Thinking of this, it became smug again.

Little did it know that from the very first encounter with Xu Zihuang, it had already been manipulated by Xu Zihuang.

Chapter 122 Longing for the Dew and Signs of the Second Awakening of the Original Martial Soul

Xu Zihuang continued to pretend.

"You're a 100,000-year-old plant-type soul beast?"

"I'm not a 100,000-year-old soul beast. I'm only 10,000 years old." The petals of the large pink flower of the Fragrant Qiluo Immortal Item opened and closed slightly, and her voice returned to its initial gentleness, which sounded very comforting. It seemed that she did not take the previous events to heart at all.

"Hmm, you possess such a dense aura of destruction; no wonder you were able to break through the Azure Phosphorus Poison Array outside to get here. But I don't recall ever hearing of a martial soul with destructive attributes being passed down on the Douluo Continent. Could it be—"

Hearing this, Xu Zihuang's heart sank slightly, and he considered all the possible scenarios that might occur. He even communicated with the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm in his spiritual sea, instructing it to take him away if things went wrong.

However, the fragrant and exquisite fairy product then changed its tone, appearing excited.

"Never mind, I don't want to think about it anymore. How did you find this place? Let me tell you, you're lucky to have run into me. If you had encountered those grumpy creatures, they would have killed you and turned you into fertilizer. Anyway, it's been many years since any humans have come here. I'm glad to see you. Talk to me more. Maybe I'll consider giving you something in return."

Xu Zihuang's expression remained unchanged, but he was carefully studying the tone of Youxiang Qiluo Xianpin's words.

He does indeed have the trait of being a chatterbox, but whether he is truly innocent is debatable.

"Zihuang, this Fragrant Silk Immortal Item looks rather silly," Tianmeng Ice Silkworm chuckled mischievously in the Sea of ​​Spirit.

"Why don't you talk to her and maybe try to trick her a little? You might even manage to get a few rare and precious herbs along the way."

"It's not that easy," Xu Zihuang replied.

At this moment, the voice of Youxiang Qiluo Xianpin rang out again, and her tone became much more urgent.

"Hey, why aren't you saying anything? Say something! Chat with me, or I won't protect you anymore. Without my fragrant protection, the various plant scents and the aura of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well here will harm you."

Xu Zihuang's mind raced, and he feigned surprise, saying, "So this really is the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire? I didn't come to the wrong place after all."

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?"

Xu Zihuang naturally knew who the person Youxiang Qiluo Xianpin was referring to was. But he never thought of getting involved with the person she was talking about.

Of course, on the surface, one still has to pretend to know nothing about it.

"Who are you talking about? I think you've misunderstood. I just happened to find a map describing this place, which led me here. There are so many rare and precious treasures here, may I take some?"

"Ah, is that so?" The purple stamen in the center of the Qiluo Youxiang Immortal Herb swayed slightly, her excitement undiminished. Then she chuckled.

"According to that person—oh, no, according to the rules of this Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well—you must pass a test to be qualified to take any seven immortal herbs here."

"test?"

"That's right. The test is very simple. You just need to eat one of the herbs here, and you'll pass. But I have to warn you first, many of the herbs here are highly poisonous, and you might die. You should think carefully."

“Zihuang, the Fragrant Silk Immortal Herb is indeed a cure for all poisons. If you are poisoned while you are near her, you can be cured simply by breathing deeply, but this is on the premise that she does not deliberately hide her power.” Tianmeng Ice Silkworm immediately became serious when it came to Xu Zihuang’s life and safety.

Its unspoken message is that one should always be wary of others.

"Don't worry, Tianmeng. I recognize many of the immortal herbs here. Let's see what she's going to give me first, then I'll decide." Xu Zihuang responded in his spiritual sea, walked up to the Fragrant Silk Immortal Herb, and said in a deep voice, "Please give me that immortal herb. I'm willing to undergo the test."

"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 flower swaying back and forth.

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

Xu Zihuang did not dodge, but allowed the purple light to envelop his body.

Given the powerful spiritual energy of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, if the Fragrant Silk Immortal Item were to do anything detrimental to him, it would certainly inform him in advance.

A moment later, the purple light receded. The large pink flower of the fragrant silk trembled slightly, muttering to itself...

"I was wondering why your aura seemed familiar. It turns out to be the pure aura of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Martial Soul. So you're a descendant of that great sect. But why is your mental strength so powerful? The same goes for your previous Destruction attribute. It's really strange."

Xu Zihuang remained silent, but fortunately, Youxiang Qiluo Xianpin did not dwell on this issue too much.

"Okay, you can have that one."

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.

Xu Zihuang had been keeping an eye on the Fragrant Qiluo Immortal Herb. With the amazing eyesight granted by his Golden Eyes, he immediately saw that there was an additional herb at the end of the purple light.

It was an unremarkable 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.

Soon, drawn by the purple light of the fragrant and exquisite fairy product, it arrived in front of Xu Zihuang.

"Looking longingly until my eyes are dry from waiting."

Xu Zihuang 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 meant him no harm.

The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, whose very essence was one with Xu Zihuang, was keenly aware of Xu Zihuang's emotional changes.

"Zihuang, do you recognize this immortal herb?"

"Hmm. This herb is called 'Wangchuan Qiushui Dew.' It should be of considerable benefit to the growth of my mental strength."

Xu Zihuang communicated with the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm in his mind, but on the surface, he took a deep breath and looked firmly at the Fragrant Qiluo Immortal Item.

"How should I take it?"

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

Xu Zihuang said seriously, "Of course, I came here because I heard that this place is a treasure land, 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?"

"Fortune favors the bold," Xu Zihuang said with a nonchalant smile, leaving Youxiang Qiluo Xianpin completely stunned.

She would never know that Xu Zihuang possessed memories of his past life and was familiar with most of the rare and precious materials in the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire.

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

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

"Hmm, never mind. Anyway, it's your choice. By the way, my name is Youyou, it's a very nice name, right? I'm only telling you this because you're so brave. Open your mouth and tilt your head back."

Xu Zihuang took a deep breath, hesitated for a moment, and then did as instructed.

This time, however, his hesitation wasn't feigned; it stemmed from his inability to fully trust the fragrant and exquisite immortal product before him. His entire body was on edge, ready to unleash his martial spirit and soul skills at any moment.
