Nothing happened on the first day, and nothing happened on the second day either.

On the evening of the third day, as the setting sun dyed the entire forest crimson, the area swept by Xu Yanli's spiritual power suddenly trembled.

The fluctuation was extremely weak, like something deep in the forest trembling slightly, something enticing him.

Xu Yanli's eyelids snapped open.

"Elder Long, over there."

He pointed northwest, his voice barely concealing his excitement.

Long Xiaoyao looked in the direction he pointed, narrowed his eyes, said nothing, turned his dragon head and flew over.

The closer Xu Yanli got to that area, the more obvious the fluctuations became in his mental sea.

It was as if something was calling to him, or testing him.

Once the two flew over a valley, Xu Yanli finally saw the scene below.

The entire valley was shrouded in a layer of colorful clouds and mist, which slowly rolled and shone with an eerie light when the setting sun shone on them.

The poisonous miasma of the Jade Scale Seven Absolute Flowers.

Xu Yanli smiled, a slight smirk playing on his lips.

This is it.

"Elder Long, go down."

Long Xiaoyao frowned: "This poisonous miasma..."

"I have a way."

Angelic martial souls are naturally able to suppress evil and yin, and this applies to these poisons as well. Moreover, the damage these poisons cause to his body is not as fast as the repair speed of his martial soul.

"Elder Long, please wait for me up there. If I call you, please be ready to respond at any time."

Long Xiaoyao glanced at him, nodded, and released his hand. The Dark Holy Dragon Martial Soul was released instantly, and he flew into the air.

Xu Yanli had an extremely long rope tied around her waist, with the other end in Long Xiaoyao's hand.

Xu Yanli slowly landed at the edge of the poisonous miasma.

Colorful clouds churned before my eyes, carrying a sweet, fishy smell.

He took a deep breath and stepped inside.

The Prayer Angel Martial Soul activated behind him, its rich holy power burning through the poisonous creatures.

The clouds and mist swirled around him, but could not touch him.

After walking for about fifteen minutes, the poisonous miasma gradually faded, and the scene before us suddenly became clear.

Xu Yanli paused, his eyes widening suddenly.

Chapter 139 The Flattering Immortal Herb

Before us was a small valley, but it was so beautiful it seemed like a place that shouldn't exist on earth.

In the middle of the valley is a small pool, its water divided in two, one half icy blue, the other fiery red. When the two sides meet, they are clearly separated, as if someone had cut them with a knife.

The icy blue side emanated a chilling aura, making one feel a bone-chilling cold even while standing on the shore; the fiery red side churned with heat, distorting and warping the very air.

The eye of ice and fire.

The pool was surrounded by a dense thicket of exotic flowers and plants.

Some are fiery red, with tiny flames hanging on their leaves; some are crystal clear, looking like solid ice sculptures; and some are shimmering gold, radiating warmth.

Xu Yanli glanced over and immediately recognized several items.

Fiery Apricot Blossom, Eight-Cornered Ice Grass, Extraordinary Chrysanthemum, Eight-Petaled Fairy Orchid, Nine-Grade Purple Ganoderma...

All of them are the divine ingredients described in the original work.

Several people stood among these herbs.

No, it's not a person.

It is a transformed immortal herb spirit beast.

At the very front was a woman, her entire body fiery red, her hair like burning flames, and an air of arrogance between her brows and eyes.

Behind her stood a boy, his entire body ice-blue, with white hair and eyebrows, and a faint chill emanating from him.

Further on, there were several more figures, some hiding in the flowers, some standing on the treetops, and some squatting by the pond, all with their eyes fixed on Xu Yanli.

As for why these two were chosen to lead the charge, it's probably because they are the strongest of the group.

He could sense that each of these immortal herbs and spirit beasts possessed an aura of over 100,000 years. Especially the fiery red woman and the ice-blue youth in front of him, whose auras were unfathomable, indicating at least hundreds of thousands of years of cultivation.

If a fight really breaks out, even if Long Xiaoyao is there to provide support, it's hard to say whether he can escape unscathed.

But just as he was about to unleash his martial spirit, the fiery red woman moved.

She took a step forward, stared at Xu Yanli for a long time, and then...

With a "plop," he knelt down.

"You...you are the successor of the Goddess of Life?"

Her voice trembled, not from fear, but from excitement.

Xu Yanli was stunned for a moment.

The icy blue-clad youth behind him also knelt down, followed by those in the flowerbeds, on the treetops, and squatting by the pond... all the immortal herbs and spirit beasts knelt on the ground in unison.

"The aura of the ancient golden tree..." The fiery red woman looked up, her eyes reddening with excitement. "You are the Lord of Nature!"

Xu Yanli was silent for two seconds, then slowly nodded.

Let them say whatever they want.

Xu Yanli thought for a moment, then raised his hand and took out the emerald green seed from his storage soul tool.

Golden light emanated from the seed, gentle yet majestic.

All the immortal herbs and spirit beasts trembled slightly, some even lying on the ground with their foreheads touching the ground and their shoulders shaking violently.

Xu Yanli looked at the old monsters kneeling on the ground and suddenly didn't know what to say.

He originally thought that there would be at least a fight when he came in, and he was even prepared to get some bruises.

After all, this place is almost Tang San's exclusive territory. I thought he would have some backup plan!

As a result, the person knelt down upon meeting them.

Seriously! It reduces the sense of accomplishment significantly!

"Get up and speak." He put the seeds away, trying to keep his tone calm.

The woman in bright red stood up, wiped her eyes, and immediately broke into a wide smile.

"You came here for these herbs, didn't you?" She pointed to the pool behind her, her tone light as if chatting. "Take whatever you want. Every plant and tree in this Yin-Yang Well is yours."

Xu Yanli raised an eyebrow: "Aren't you going to stop me?"

"Stop you?" The fiery red woman paused for a moment, then laughed. "You are the inheritor of the Goddess of Life, the master of the Golden Ancient Tree. We, the spirits of plants and trees, are descendants of the Goddess of Life. We are overjoyed to have you here, how could we possibly stop you?"

She paused, her tone suddenly turning slightly aggrieved: "You don't know, we've been trapped here for ten thousand years. That human named Tang San took away all our ancestors, and after becoming a god, he set up a restriction, making us serve the Tang Sect. However, this divine power has been disappearing for the past few years."

"Right, Octagon?" She turned to look at the icy blue boy behind her.

The boy nodded, his voice cold yet tinged with resentment: "He never treated us like living beings, only like tools. He would pluck a few leaves when he needed us, and leave us here to die when he didn't. We are all willing to serve you."

“Lie Huoxing is right, we’ve long since wanted to leave this place.” He looked up at Xu Yanli, his eyes full of expectation. “Can you take us away? For all of us plants to serve the Goddess of Life is the highest honor we can ever have.”

Xu Yanli remained silent for two seconds.

He originally came to pick medicinal herbs, thinking that picking a few to take away would be enough to make his money.

As it turned out, these magical herbs actually begged to be taken away.

"What will happen to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well now that you're gone?" he asked.

Liehuo Xingjiao waved her hand: "This spring isn't going anywhere. The remnant soul of the Ice and Fire Dragon King is here to suppress it, and it can last for another ten thousand years without any problem. If you want, you can move the spring along with it."

Xu Yanli's lips twitched.

Are they moving the spring along with it?

He wanted to, but his storage soul tool didn't have that much capacity.

"Let's pick the herbs first," he said. "We can talk about the rest later."

Liehuo Xingjiao's eyes lit up, and she turned and ran towards the pool, saying as she ran, "Come with me, I'll tell you which ones can be picked, which ones need to be nurtured for a few more years, and how to preserve and use them after they're picked..."

She walked fast and talked even faster, like beans being poured out, chattering away non-stop.

Eight-cornered Ice Grass followed behind, occasionally chiming in with a few words.

"The Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum. This flower has no fragrance and is purple and fuzzy. It is easy to pick; just cut off the root with a metal blade. When eating it, eat the stamen first, then chew the petals, and don't eat the root."

"The Qiluo tulip has large, pale pink flowers with pale purple stamens. When picking it, you can cut the stem with a metal blade."

"Narcissus Jade Skin and Bones. It looks like a jade orchid and grows in the damp soil by a spring. When picking it, you must use jade tools, not metal ones, otherwise you will ruin its jade-like medicinal properties."

"Nine-grade purple Ganoderma lucidum is dark brown and resembles a piece of fungus stone, growing in damp rock crevices. When harvesting, dig it up by the roots and wrap it in a cloth to avoid breaking the skin."

……

Xu Yanli followed behind, listening to their explanations, and put each item into his storage soul tool.

His hands ached from collecting them, and his storage soul tool was getting fuller and fuller, but the herbs around the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well didn't seem to have decreased at all.

"Is that enough?" he couldn't help but ask.

"What's enough?" Liehuo Xingjiao turned around and glared at him, her face full of disdain. "This is less than 20%. You've gone to all this trouble to come all this way, wouldn't it be fair if you didn't take more back with you?"

Xu Yanli opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word.

Two percent?

He felt like he had almost emptied the place out, but it was only 20% done?

The Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass walked over and handed him a jade box: "This is the Dew of Longing for Autumn Water, which is extremely beneficial to spiritual power. Please keep it safe."
