Douluo Continent: I am a biologist, and I have awakened a weapon spirit?

However, the light in Tang San's eyes quickly faded, and he returned to normal.

"How are you feeling, mistress?" Chen Feng asked.

"Excellent! My Purple Demon Eye has successfully advanced." Tang San gave a thumbs up.

"Oh? Has anything changed?"

"What we can see is deeper, and it is no longer just an auxiliary tool."

After entering the Mustard Seed Realm, Tang San's Purple Demon Eye gained the ability to launch mental attacks, giving him another weapon.

"In that case, could you take another look at this thing for me?" Chen Feng took out a Thunder Essence Stone and tossed it to Tang San.

Tang San caught him, looked him over, and said:

"I think I see some strange patterns in this."

"Strange patterns?"

"That's right, there are patterns appearing inside these Thunder Essence Stones. Could you give me a few more?"

Chen Feng then took out several more Thunder Essence Stones and gave them to Tang San. Tang San examined them one by one and said:

"The patterns in these Thunder Essence Stones are basically the same, with no obvious differences."

"Can you depict these patterns?" Chen Feng asked.

Tang San thought for a moment and said:

"It probably won't work on a single sheet of paper, because these patterns are, well, how should I put it?"

"Three-dimensional?"

What does "three-dimensional" mean?

Chen Feng pointed to the ground and gave an example:

"If something exists only on a straight line, it can be called one-dimensional. If it exists on a plane, it is two-dimensional. But if it also has height on the plane, it is three-dimensional."

Tang San and Dugu Bo were both a little confused when they heard this; clearly, this kind of knowledge was still somewhat abstract for them.

Chen Feng said somewhat helplessly, "Anyway, I understand what you mean. So, if I gave you a piece of ore, could you carve the patterns on it?"

Tang San shook his head. "To replicate something on ore, you need the skill to carve inside the ore."

Chen Feng understood what he meant. It meant that the patterns were not only not on the same plane, but also had different layers. Otherwise, Tang San would not have said that, because he was a blacksmith.

Chen Feng frowned in thought. After a while, he suddenly thought of something and asked:

"What about using Blue Silver Grass? Would it be feasible to make the model using Blue Silver Grass?"

Tang San's eyes lit up. "This does seem like a solution."

Dugu Bo was somewhat puzzled by the topic the two boys were discussing, so he didn't interrupt. He waited until they finished talking before speaking:

"Let me take you out. The environment here is harmful to the human body, so you can't stay here for too long."

Tang San was stunned for a moment, then said:

"The Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well is indeed not a place where people can live for long, but I don't feel any discomfort. On the contrary, I find the environment here very comfortable."

“Perhaps the environment here is suitable for your cultivation,” Chen Feng said, not surprised. “But it’s not suitable for me.”

Tang San looked at the two herbs growing at either end of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, "Actually... it's not like there's no way."

"What method?" Chen Feng asked.

Tang San pointed to the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass and the Fiery Apricot Blossom, and began to explain the characteristics of these two herbs, then said:

"If you take these two herbs at the same time and soak them in the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, you can cultivate a body that is immune to water and fire, and you will no longer be affected by the environment here."

"What? Go inside? Isn't that courting death?" Dugu Bo asked in surprise.

"Under normal circumstances, entering would indeed be courting death, but entering after consuming those two herbs is actually beneficial, as it can promote the absorption of the two medicinal powers. Of course, if one's own strength is strong enough, one can simply consume the herbs without entering, like you, Senior Poison Douluo," Tang San explained.

“I see. But it’s a bit dangerous. Is there anything more suitable for him here?” Dugu Bo asked.

Tang San looked around, then circled the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well again before returning to Chen Feng and Dugu Bo's side and saying:

"If there are any benefits for Xiao Feng, then there are, but none of them are as good as the Ice and Fire Immortal Herbs."

Hearing this, Chen Feng sighed inwardly, knowing that he could probably't escape this ordeal.

In fact, in the original novel, Tang San could eat all the immortal herbs of the Seven Devils, but as Tang San said, in terms of the benefits they brought, those herbs were not as good as the Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass and the Blazing Apricot.

This is mainly because, apart from Tang San and two support characters, the Seven Devils in the original story all possessed beast-type martial souls.

It can be said that apart from Tang San, whose martial soul is the Clear Sky Hammer, everyone else, including Grandmaster, has a different role than Chen Feng. The immortal herbs that are suitable for them may not be suitable for Chen Feng.

So Chen Feng finally accepted reality, "Since that's the case, let's choose these two immortal herbs. Xiao San, how do we proceed?"

Chapter 140 The Question of the Soul

"As immortal herbs, they cannot be picked using ordinary methods."

As Tang San spoke, he walked towards the fiery apricot blossoms.

"They each possess their own ice and fire poison properties. To safely harvest them without affecting the efficacy of the immortal herbs, different substances must be used."

He stopped a certain distance away from the fiery red herb and pointed to it, saying:

“For example, the Fiery Apricot requires jade to pick, while the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass requires metal to cut it.”

"Metal? Then I'll handle it." Chen Feng carried the Tai Chi Bagua Sword and walked towards the other end of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye.

Tang San continued his explanation:

"After picking them, they must be put together so that their auras can counteract each other, causing them to temporarily lose their current special characteristics. This is the best time to consume them."

"But at the same time, the mutual restraint between their auras will gradually diminish their effectiveness, and they will become completely ineffective after ten breaths, so they must be taken immediately after being put together."

Chen Feng stopped not far from the Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass and nodded. "Understood."

"After consuming the two immortal herbs, one must wait for the medicinal effects to take hold before entering the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, otherwise the spring water of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well will obliterate one's remains." After Tang San finished speaking, he quickly stepped forward and used his Xuan Jade Hand to pluck the Fiery Apricot.

Upon witnessing this scene, Chen Feng raised his sword, stepped forward, and cut off the eight-cornered ice grass.

"Come to the middle!" Tang San shouted to Chen Feng, then quickly ran to the shore where the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Wells met, and threw a Blue Silver Grass at each of the two immortal herbs.

When Chen Feng transformed into lightning and arrived beside Tang San, the two immortal herbs were also pulled over by the Blue Silver Grass and landed in front of the two of them.

When the two immortal herbs came together, the extreme cold and heat they had just emitted vanished instantly.

Moreover, the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass was shrouded in a faint red light, while the Fiery Apricot was shrouded in a faint white mist.

Chen Feng, who was already prepared, picked them up and quickly stuffed them into his mouth.

After being restrained by the other, the two immortal herbs lost their power. After being eaten by Chen Feng, they quickly turned into saliva and went down his throat. At this moment, Chen Feng felt his tongue produce saliva and a refreshing fragrance.

"The taste is not bad." Chen Feng subconsciously made a comment.

"Take off your clothes." Tang San discarded the two Blue Silver Grasses that had been damaged by the two kinds of immortal herbs, while observing Chen Feng's condition.

When Chen Feng took off his clothes, and red and blue light alternated on his body, Tang San quickly said:

"Jump into the confluence of the two springs!"

Without hesitation, Chen Feng did as instructed, plunging himself into the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire with a splash, and then quickly sank into the two-colored spring water.

Dugu Bo walked over and couldn't help but say:

"It seems he trusts you a lot; he jumped without any hesitation."

"Hmm." Tang San was also somewhat moved by Chen Feng's immediate response, because it was tantamount to entrusting his life to him.

"Is he really alright?" Dugu Bo asked, still somewhat worried.

"No, the medicinal effects of the two immortal herbs will protect him from the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well," Tang San replied confidently.

"How long will he stay inside?" Dugu Bo asked again.

"I'm not sure about that. It should take some time." Tang San found a rock at the edge of the valley and sat down. "I'll just wait here."

Dugu Bo watched the calm spring water for a while longer, but still couldn't shake off his anxiety. So he went to a small wooden house nearby, found a chair, and sat down to observe the movements of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well with Tang San.

……

While Chen Feng was soaking in the hot springs, Xue Qinghe had already returned to the Heavenly Dou Imperial Palace and obtained information about Hydra Academy from the guards.

However, the intelligence obtained by the guards was just a pretext. What Xue Qinghe, or rather Qian Renxue, really wanted was for Ci Xue to help her investigate Hydra Academy.

Upon entering her study, Qian Renxue dismissed the maids and guards, then spoke softly:

"Elder Bloodthorn, is there anything wrong with this Hydra Academy?"

A male voice rang out in the room, "According to the information I have found, there is nothing wrong with this academy. It is a merger of Shrek Academy, founded by Four-Eyed Cat Owl Flander, and Blue Tyrant Academy, founded by Killing Horn Liu Erlong. Master joined Shrek Academy before the merger of the two academies, which means that the current leaders of this new academy are the Golden Iron Triangle."

"The two young men you encountered today are students of this academy. You already know their names, and after investigating them, I discovered something rather unusual."

"What's going on?" Qian Renxue raised her eyebrows.

"The first place these two teenagers registered with the Spirit Hall was Notting City," Thornblood replied.

“Notting City…” Qian Renxue narrowed her eyes slightly, “That incident also happened in Notting City back then, didn’t it?”

"Yes."

"And one of the boys is named Chen Feng, and the Golden Iron Triangle is his mentor, Elder Ci Xue. Don't you think that's a very interesting thing?"

"...But that boy was only six years old six years ago."

Qian Renxue looked somewhat hesitant. "That makes sense. How could a six-year-old child possibly achieve such a feat?"

After thinking for a moment, Ci Xue said:

“Young Master, do you think it’s possible that the Golden Triangle was acquainted with that biological pioneer, and that the Master happened to meet a boy with the same name in Notting City, took a liking to him and wanted to train him, and then brought the boy to Shrek Academy, where he has now become a student of Hydra Academy after the academy merged.”

Qian Renxue was silent for a moment, then nodded and said:

"That makes perfect sense."

This statement is at least much more reasonable than a six-year-old child proposing a foundation-building method.

"By the way, what spirit did this boy named Chen Feng register with the Spirit Hall?" Qian Renxue asked suddenly, as if she had just remembered something.

“It’s a sword,” Bloodstained replied.

“It’s a weapon spirit, then it’s even less likely to be him.” Qian Renxue completely dispelled her doubts.

After all, the Foundation Building Technique is an academic theory that has created a new era. Obviously, only someone who has a sufficient understanding of biological martial souls can research it. Is it possible for a six-year-old child, especially one with a weapon martial soul, to research the Foundation Building Technique?

That's very difficult.

……

Inside the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire.

A man in black robes descended from the sky and landed in the valley.

Dugu Bo, who was staring blankly at the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, suddenly stood up. After clearly seeing the black-robed man's face, he relaxed slightly and asked:

"Your Excellency Haotian, was the trip relatively smooth?"

"Yes, it went smoothly." Tang Hao carefully took out a stone flowerpot from his pocket, in which grew an ordinary-looking little grass.

"Blue Silver Grass?" Dugu Bo raised his eyebrows and glanced at Tang San not far away. "I see, that's how it is."

To be honest, if he hadn't known the whole story, he would never have believed that the little grass Tang Hao was holding was related to a 100,000-year-old soul beast.

Because this little grass is so ordinary, it's not much different from the blue silver grass that can be seen everywhere.

Only upon close observation can one discover the pale gold veins on this Blue Silver Grass, which is its most distinctive feature.

Dugu Bo then understood the origin of Tang San's martial soul, which should be inherited from his 100,000-year-old soul beast mother.

Although Tang Hao brought the seedlings of the Blue Silver Emperor, he knew absolutely nothing about plant cultivation, so he just stood there staring blankly at the flowerpot.

Tang San noticed his father's confusion and quickly stepped forward to take the flowerpot.

"Dad, let me do it."

Tang Hao didn't know what to do either, so he handed the flowerpot to his son. After Tang San took the flowerpot, he came to the shore where the two springs of ice and fire met.

He closed his eyes and released his newly enhanced spiritual power, spreading it around him. He walked with his eyes closed, sensing the surroundings, trying to find the most suitable place for his mother to grow up.

Blue Silver Emperor is a neutral plant, so it must be planted on the bank where the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Wells meet, so that it will not be affected by the energies of the two attributes of ice and fire, and can also accelerate its growth.
