Douluo Continent: The Spirit-Eyed Detective Huo Yuhao

"I've seen it so many times, but it still looks weird," Tianmeng Bingcan said. So many identical Yuhao figures lined up neatly together gave him goosebumps, even though he only had a soul and no skin now.

"They look strange, but they're useful. We relied on these spare bodies to revive when we fought that sea god," Huo Yuhao said with a smile, then added with heartache, "Several of them were destroyed in one go, leaving only seventy-six."

"Even though they've been kept until now, they still need to be destroyed." Huo Yuhao pressed the destruction button without hesitation, and all the clones in the incubation chambers were converted back into pure life energy.

Using a spare body as a resurrection tool is good, but the problem is that it needs to be updated every once in a while.

As Huo Yuhao's cultivation level improves, his physical body will definitely become stronger and stronger. For example, now that his physical body has broken through, it is definitely much stronger than before. To be resurrected, he must use his latest physical body. Otherwise, he will become weaker after being resurrected.

Although you can always practice it again.

The life energy transformed from the clones gathered through the pipes and was injected into Huo Yuhao's original body, where it was absorbed.

"It really doesn't waste a single bit," Little Snow Emperor exclaimed. She had been with Huo Yuhao the shortest and knew very little about his methods.

"Impressive, right? I copied this method of converting life energy from Qiu'er's Golden Dragon Spear. Want to learn it?" Huo Yuhao said proudly.

"No." Little Snow Empress refused directly. Besides the fact that this method of seizing life energy was not suitable for her, there was also the fact that Huo Yuhao had been teaching her all sorts of things while she hadn't awakened her memories, which made her very resistant now.

"Has she reached her rebellious phase?" Huo Yuhao sighed. She used to be so obedient when he taught her anything.

"What would happen if these clones weren't destroyed?" Tianmeng Ice Silkworm asked.

"Nothing will happen. I didn't activate them; they'll just slowly die naturally. If I copied my memories dozens of times to activate them, I'd probably have dozens of versions of myself. It's kind of interesting to think about..." Huo Yuhao chuckled to himself.

"You'd better not even think about it." Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was speechless. If one was like this, what would happen if dozens of them were to tear the entire Douluo Continent apart?

After refilling the incubation chamber, Huo Yuhao went to check on the condition of the little sea god.

"You've arrived, Master." This childcare robot, Number 5, is quite busy these days.

Although the Snow Empress has regained her memories and no longer needs him to take care of her, the embryo of the Little Sea God is still growing, and the depleted fairy power needs to be recreated within his body.

"How is Little Sea God?" Huo Yuhao asked.

"It's still in the embryonic stage. Although it's grown a lot bigger than before, it's not ready to be born yet. If it could have the same sea god's consciousness as a supplement as before, it should grow even faster." Number 5 lifted the machine's abdomen, and the little baby inside was fast asleep.

"Let's retrieve the Sea God's divine sense now." Huo Yuhao acted on his thoughts immediately.

"Get it now? Where is it?" Tianmeng Ice Silkworm exclaimed in astonishment.

Huo Yuhao took out his magic gun and opened two teleportation portals.

He then stepped into the portal, and shortly afterward, a statue of the sea god was dragged out of it.

"The Star Luo Empire has it in its treasury, so there's no reason why other countries wouldn't have it. It's a pity that Tianhun and Douling were the same empire before, and I only found this in Tianhun's treasury."

"Did you sneak directly into their national treasury...?" Tianmeng Ice Silkworm exclaimed in surprise.

"Haha, now there's nowhere on Douluo Continent I can't go. Let's go to Sunset Forest again later and check out that poison array." Huo Yuhao had long wanted to go into that poison array; he had a feeling there were definitely a lot of good things inside.

Chapter 128 Speedrun of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well

Without the power of immortals or the support of the Sea God's true form, the Sea God's consciousness within this stone statue is not difficult for Huo Yuhao to deal with in his current state.

Moreover, without activating the divine test, this divine consciousness merely exists as a means stored within the statue to monitor and regulate the mortal realm at any time, and its power is not strong.

After merging and transforming with the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, the Sea God's consciousness of the Heavenly Soul Empire was obliterated before it could even emerge from the stone statue, turning into nourishment for the little Sea God embryo.

"To monitor Douluo Continent, the Sea God must have stored a wisp of his divine consciousness all over the world. With our current strength, we're more than capable of hunting them down." With that, Huo Yuhao opened a portal and stepped inside…

Sunset Forest of the Heavenly Soul Empire

The azure poisonous mist spread, and the terrifying array of poisonous gas seemed to blot out the sky.

This was Huo Yuhao's second visit, but last time he sensed something strange was going on inside, so he didn't risk going in to investigate.

"That's the downside of having too much mental strength. You can see everything before you even go in, which takes away a lot of the fun of the adventure." Huo Yuhao smiled. He could already see what it was like inside through the poisonous fog.

He then sprinted straight into the poisonous array, the extreme chill emanating from his body causing the poisonous mist to freeze and fall before it even got close to him.

Beyond the poisonous array lies a hidden paradise, a unique basin landscape. The pools, composed of extremely cold Yin springs and blazing Yang springs, are red and blue in color, their temperatures blending together. The unique environment has given rise to a dazzling array of exotic flowers and fruits, and a rich, comforting medicinal fragrance permeates the surroundings.

It is the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire, one of the three great treasure basins.

"Who?!"

"Who goes there?!"

The plant-type soul beasts that grew in the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire were all on alert, as they sensed an extremely powerful force intruding into their territory.

Huo Yuhao made no attempt to conceal his arrival, and his rush in brought with him a strong gust of wind. His immense spiritual power at the divine sense level instilled fear in everyone.

"It seems to be a blessed land, with many rare plants growing here," Huo Yuhao commented. At the same time, he connected his consciousness to the database of the upper plane and searched for information about this place. "So it's called the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye. It really is a place related to the Sea God."

The Sea God's tricks are everywhere on this Douluo Continent; you can easily fall into his trap if you're not careful.

"Hello everyone," Huo Yuhao greeted the plant-type soul beasts with a smile.

He had just noticed that several plants here had grown into intelligent, 100,000-year-old soul beasts.

"Human, what is your purpose in coming here?" A large pink flower spoke first; her name was Youxiang Qiluo Xianpin.

Although they were born in this isolated place and had never been in contact with the outside world, so they were simple-minded, they could still see that Huo Yuhao's terrifying power was definitely much stronger than theirs.

In this situation, if Huo Yuhao wanted to do anything to them, they would suffer heavy casualties.

"There's no need to be afraid." Huo Yuhao noticed their fear and slightly suppressed his aura. "It's not easy for plant-based soul beasts to develop intelligence. If you don't attack me first, I don't want to hurt you easily. Moreover, according to the current laws of my city, soul beasts that have developed intelligence and can speak human language should be treated as human beings with human rights, and hunting them is considered a crime."

"I don't quite understand... but it feels like a great thing. So you're a really good person, hahaha, sorry, sorry, we just mistook you for a bad guy, so what do you want? Maybe I can help you." These reclusive plant spirit beasts were indeed simple-minded, and Youxiang Qiluo Immortal Item immediately switched back to its original carefree and somewhat talkative demeanor.

"Wouldn't you mind if I collected some of the plants here that don't have any sentience?" Huo Yuhao asked with a smile. In fact, even if they minded, he would still collect them.

Intelligent and non-intelligent soul beasts are two different things. Most soul beasts, after reaching a certain level of cultivation and gaining intelligence, will distinguish themselves from ordinary soul beasts that lack intelligence, believing that they are no longer the same species as those non-intelligent creatures, just like humans view animals. Of course, this excludes their blood-related offspring.

Aside from races with strong sense of community, such as the Ice Jade Scorpion clan, intelligent soul beasts rarely regard lower-level soul beasts of the same species as their kin. For example, the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm would even take Huo Yuhao to hunt other Ice Silkworms.

This is even more pronounced among plant-type soul beasts.

"Ah, sure, as long as you don't completely wipe this place out, picking a few is fine," said Youxiang Qiluo Xianpin nonchalantly. "But you have to keep it a secret for us after you leave. Don't let anyone know about this place and bother us. I'm only negotiating with you because you're so powerful. If it were a weaker guy, I wouldn't let him pick any; I'd just kill him to prevent the secret from being leaked."

By the way, just call me Youyou. Seriously, don't you have anything else you want to say to me? Don't you have any other motives? Like wanting to get a book or something…?

Huo Yuhao was speechless; this Fragrant Silk Fairy was really quite talkative.

"A book? What book? Oh right, that's the book I came to find. Let me see it." Huo Yuhao had no idea what book it was, but he was genuinely interested in seeing it.

"Hahaha, you're lying. It was obviously a spur-of-the-moment idea. You're really something." Youyou was amused. "But that person only said that those who pass the test can take the book. Regardless of your purpose, let's have a test first."

"Let's do the test then," Huo Yuhao said directly.

"That's straightforward. Okay, see that grass over there with a few drops of dew on it? Eat it. This is your first test. Make sure you're sure before you eat it, because there might be a poison that will kill you if you eat it." She said softly, for some reason she really liked the human in front of her and wanted to just let him pass and give him the thing.

This brings us to another wonderful use of mental power: "charm," which is somewhat like illusion.

When Huo Yuhao's mental strength reached an unprecedented level, even the automatically dissipated mental strength was enough to influence the impressions people around him had of him.

His appearance did not change, but his overflowing spiritual energy would automatically manifest his temperament. For example, when he wanted to release goodwill and kindness, others would see him and immediately feel, "Wow, this person is so nice and gentle."

"Grass?" Huo Yuhao glanced at it and picked it off and ate it.

"Longing for the Dew, it's good for the eyes. Isn't this a test? Is it okay to give me this good stuff? Is the first test a reward test?" Huo Yuhao asked. Of course, he recognized what these plants were. Not to mention that he was well-read, he could easily find out by searching the interdimensional library.

"Huh? You know? No way, this isn't right, how can this still be considered a test..." Youyou exclaimed in surprise, it's rare to find someone with such knowledge. "Fine, I'll let you pass, you're such a good person."

"Um... my name is Huo Yuhao..."

“Okay, you’re such a good person.” Youyou said shyly, “Then let’s go to the second test. That person said the second test is to test strength, so you have to fight one of our 100,000-year-old soul beasts. But you’re so strong, it seems like none of us can beat you. How about we just let you pass the second test directly?”

"That's great? Then I'll just take it." Huo Yuhao raised his hand and made a grabbing motion twice, reaching into a teleportation portal and pulling out a book.

"Huh?! Isn't this that book? When did you get it?" Youyou exclaimed in surprise, she hadn't even taken it out yet.

"Speedrunning is all about saving time, right? Now that I've cleared it, it's mine." Huo Yuhao naturally flipped through his rewards.

Chapter 129 Bone Dragon

"I'm glad someone saw my message..."

"Greetings, kindred spirit. I am the founder of the Tang Clan, Tang..."

The book contained these insignificant comments, along with some plant illustrations of the Yin-Yang symbol of ice and fire.

"Well, I knew it was this guy. He really is everywhere." Huo Yuhao rolled his eyes and continued flipping through the pages. "The Poison and Medicine sections of the Tang Sect's Xuan Tian Treasure Record are hidden here. No wonder Teacher Xiaoya's side seemed to be missing a lot of things..."

"Hey, you're such a kind person, if you can, you have to return it to me after you finish reading it. I swore to that person that I can't take anything that isn't from the Tang Sect. You'd better write down the contents." The voice of Youxiang Qiluo Xianpin came.

"Oh, here you go." Huo Yuhao tossed the book back.

"? So fast?!" Youyou exclaimed in surprise.

"I recognize all the plant species, and I've deduced most of the poison and medicine sections myself, so I finished reading it quickly," Huo Yuhao explained.

"Moreover, many of the drug records are too primitive. The principles of the drugs have not been studied at all. Some of the drug effects are actually derived from strange myths and legends. When asked, they just say 'it is said' or 'it is said'. How can I dare to let people take the drugs made in this way? It is better to do my own research later."

"Is...is that so?" Youyou didn't expect Huo Yuhao to belittle the Xuan Tian Treasure Record like this. "Then what do you want to pick? Let's make it clear that you can only pick a maximum of seven, no more."

"Hmm... that's too few. Although there are many species here, the quantity of each one is far too small. This makes the research less satisfying. Let me try to increase the number of species for you." Huo Yuhao thought for a moment, "How about I perform artificial pollination for you?"

"Artificial pollination..." Youyou was slightly puzzled. "I don't understand, but it sounds a bit lewd, kind of perverted..."

"By the way, you guys don't mind if I plant a tree here, do you?" Huo Yuhao said with a smile.

"Plant trees too?" Youyou was even more confused. Why would this person plant trees instead of picking immortal herbs?

"Planting trees... is up to you, but ordinary plants won't survive long here," Youyou reminded her, explaining that only top-tier immortal herbs can survive in this environment of extremes of ice and fire.

"Elder Yi, come here, this is a good place." Huo Yuhao summoned the Golden Tree Ilex, who was still in Shrek City, with a summoning of his Beast Taming Contract.

In an instant, a giant golden tree appeared above the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, its immense size blocking out the sun and the life force emanating from it far surpassing that of all the plant spirit beasts in the entire basin combined.

"!!!" Youyou was so shocked that her petals closed up. "My God, what kind of living father did you summon?!"

It's no exaggeration to say that the Golden Tree, the source of life on Douluo Star, is the living father of these plant-type soul beasts.

"Hehehe, where is this? Yuhao, it seems you have another opportunity. This place is really comfortable." Electrox's voice was somewhat pleasant. He had now possessed the body of the Golden Tree, and the environment of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well was as comfortable as a full-body massage.

It then took root in the ground, its roots extending into the icy-hot spring to draw nutrients and nurture its own spirit within.

"How about it, Youyou? The Golden Tree is very beneficial to you here, isn't it?" Huo Yuhao gave her a thumbs up. "I'll expand the land area for you and increase the planting quantity so that we can achieve mass production of the immortal herb."

"Th...thank you..." Youyou was a little confused and couldn't quite process it.

Then, Huo Yuhao walked straight towards the two springs of ice and fire.
