Chapter 52: Advent at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, ink jade divine bamboo

Soon, the carriage left Heaven Dou Imperial City and drove all the way to the front of Sunset Forest.

For the rest of the road, they could only walk on foot.

After getting off the carriage,

Under Dugu Bo’s lead, Ye Luo and Qian Renxue ventured deep into Sunset Forest all the way, arriving at the depths of the Sunset Forest.

After passing through a large area filled with various highly poisonous traps,

ahead, a peak with its summit shrouded in white mist appeared before their eyes.

“We have arrived, this old man’s herb garden is on this mountain!”

Standing at the foot of this peak, Dugu Bo gently stroked the snow-white beard under his chin and said proudly.

Because Qian Renxue’s Spirit was Swan, she possessed flight capabilities.

Therefore, Dugu Bo first took Ye Luo to rise through the air. After crossing the steep rock wall below, they landed halfway up the mountain, on the edge of the valley filled with thick white mist.

Qian Renxue followed closely behind.

“Xiao Luo, Your Highness Crown Prince, follow me!”

Dugu Bo led Ye Luo and Qian Renxue all the way through the thick white mist, walking towards the center of the valley.

Within the thick white mist,

Ye Luo saw a strand of ice-blue and a strand of crimson-red light becoming increasingly brilliant.

Finally, the view before his eyes suddenly opened up.

A strange pool of water appeared before his eyes, about ten meters in diameter, half entirely ice-blue and exuding a piercing cold Qi, and half entirely crimson-red and exuding scorching hot Qi.

Around this strange pool of water, it was overgrown with rare mutated species and precious medicinal herbs unseen in the outside world, as well as exotic flowers and rare plants.

‘This is the Tulip of Entangling Luo, this is Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower, this is Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, this is blazing apricot delicate…’

Ye Luo’s gaze swept across each exotic flower and rare plant, flashes of descriptions from the original novel of his past life passing through his mind as he identified the identity of each Immortal Herb, his heart filled with excitement and passion.

Among them, that stalk three chi long, with flowers entirely pink, an inch in diameter, petals crystal-clear like crystal, and stamens like purple diamonds inlaid on the flower, was the Tulip of Entangling Luo Immortal Herb.

That plant, entirely crimson-red with golden leaf veins and a flower resembling a cockscomb, was the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower.

That plant, entirely ice-blue with a flower resembling an octagonal snowflake and exuding piercing cold Qi, was the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass.

…

And besides those Immortal Herbs that appeared in Douluo I,

Ye Luo also caught sight of a clump of Immortal Herbs that had appeared in subsequent Douluo series at a glance—that was a clump of bamboo entirely pitch-black like ink jade divine bamboo, with several bamboo shoots growing from its roots.

This is… ink jade divine bamboo shoots!

For a moment, Ye Luo could not help but feel extremely excited.

Although in his past life, he had not finished reading the original works of the subsequent Douluo series like Douluo II, Douluo III, and Douluo IV.

However, through some short videos, he still understood some of the plots and opportunities of these subsequent series.

Among them was this Immortal Herb called ink jade divine bamboo.

The ink jade divine bamboo seemed to be an Immortal Herb that appeared in Douluo III, possessing the characteristic of strengthening plant Spirits.

Perhaps it could enable his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul to evolve!

“So many Immortal Herbs!”

After arriving beside the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well,

Seeing that around the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well grew all kinds of magical Immortal Herbs recorded in Chrysanthemum Douluo’s Family-transmitted immortal herb catalog, Qian Renxue also felt extremely excited in her heart, pretending to draw a cold breath and exclaiming.

“Immortal Herb?”

Hearing this, Poison Douluo was slightly stunned, a trace of doubt flashing in his eyes as he asked.

“Your Highness Crown Prince, what is this Immortal Herb…”

Hearing Qian Renxue’s exclamation, Ye Luo did not interrupt Qian Renxue’s acting.

“An Immortal Herb is a top-tier Spirit Medicine of a higher grade than the ten-thousand-year Ginseng King. It not only possesses the ability to greatly enhance cultivation and help Spirit Masters break through Bottlenecks, but it can even allow Spirits to evolve!”

Qian Renxue said in a deep voice.

“What! It can even allow a Spirit Master’s Spirit to evolve?”

Dugu Bo found it simply unbelievable and hastily asked excitedly.

“Then Your Highness Crown Prince, among these Immortal Herbs, are there any Immortal Herbs that can allow our Dugu Family’s Greenphosphor Serpent Spirit to evolve?”

“Let me see.”

Qian Renxue looked around the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and quickly locked her gaze onto several medicinal herbs that were entirely emerald green like jade, with patterns on them resembling dragon scales, a top like a dragon head, and even dragon whiskers.

“Found them!”

A trace of a smile appeared on Qian Renxue’s face as she said.

“Found them!”

“Elder Dugu, your Dugu Family’s Legacy Spirit, the Greenphosphor Serpent, is a serpent-type Spirit Beast.”

“There happen to be a few top-tier Spirit Medicines here—dragon blood grass. This is a Spirit Medicine that can only possibly be born in places where a large number of sub-dragon species or true dragon-tier Spirit Beasts have fallen.”

“It not only can enhance a Spirit Master’s cultivation, but it also possesses the effect of allowing dragon-type Spirits to evolve. It should be able to let your Greenphosphor Serpent Spirit evolve.”

“dragon blood grass? That’s great!”

“With me here, and Xiao Luo pointing out the solution to our Family’s greenphosphor poison, plus this dragon blood grass, our Bilin Family will definitely be able to advance further in the future!”

Dugu Bo clenched his fists, full of excitement.

“That’s right! Elder Dugu, can I pick some Immortal Herbs from your herb garden?”

After telling Dugu Bo about the existence of the dragon blood grass, Qian Renxue asked again.

“Of course you can!”

Dugu Bo answered straightforwardly without even thinking.

“Your Highness Crown Prince has a life-saving grace towards me, and also brought the Opportunity for our Greenphosphor Serpent Spirit to evolve.”

“With such great kindness, whichever Immortal Herbs and Spirit Medicines in this herb garden Your Highness Crown Prince fancies, just pick them directly!”

“Then thank you, Elder Dugu!”

Qian Renxue smiled and thanked him.

However, unlike Tang San, who had completely no sense of boundaries and directly plucked all the Immortal Herbs from Dugu Bo’s Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well,

Qian Renxue had a very good sense of proportion. She only prepared to pick some Immortal Herbs that were useful to herself and could help the consecration grandfathers like Grandpa Golden Crocodile, Grandpa Qingluan, and Grandpa Lion, as well as the future Elders’ Spirits to evolve.

“Grandpa, I also want a few Immortal Herbs, is that okay?”

At this time, Ye Luo also suddenly raised his hand and hastily shouted.

Because Qian Renxue was someone who experienced Rebirth.

Although he didn’t know where Qian Renxue got the information about these Immortal Herbs, Ye Luo had also taken a fancy to a few Immortal Herbs, such as: ink jade divine bamboo, sees-through-autumn-water dew, Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, and blazing apricot delicate.

These Immortal Herbs were related to his future development, so he definitely couldn’t give them up.

“Of course you can!”

Discovering that Ye Luo also wanted a few Immortal Herbs, Dugu Bo directly agreed.

“Then Your Highness Crown Prince, and Xiao Luo, make your own choices.”

“Xiao Luo, which Immortal Herbs do you want?”

Qian Renxue did not act first; instead, she smiled and looked at Ye Luo.

Ye Luo was related to the future survival of their Spirit Hall.

Since she had brought Ye Luo to Dugu Bo’s herb garden in advance,

then she must have intended to let Ye Luo choose first, allowing Ye Luo to grow up faster.

“I want the shoot of this ink jade divine bamboo, as well as this sees-through-autumn-water dew, along with this Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and blazing apricot delicate!”

However, this made Dugu Bo suddenly stunned for a moment, finding it very incredible.

“Xiao Luo, do you recognize these Immortal Herbs?”

Because Qian Renxue had only pointed out that there were Immortal Herbs here, but she hadn’t said at all which exotic flowers and rare plants were Immortal Herbs, nor what their respective names were.

She hadn’t expected that Ye Luo would actually point out the names of the ink jade divine bamboo, sees-through-autumn-water dew, Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, and blazing apricot delicate, and it didn’t feel like he was just talking nonsense randomly, which shocked Dugu Bo greatly.

“I accidentally saw an ancient book before, which happened to record some information about Immortal Herbs, so I also know a little.”

Ye Luo pretended to scratch his head embarrassedly.

“Xiao Luo, I can let you pick and consume the shoot of this ink jade divine bamboo, as well as this sees-through-autumn-water dew.”

“But these two medicinal herbs won’t do. They are definitely not Immortal Herbs, but poisonous weeds!”

Dugu Bo just felt it was quite a coincidence, but seeing that Ye Luo had also taken a fancy to the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and blazing apricot delicate, he immediately said with a solemn expression.

“These two poisonous weeds, Grandpa accidentally touched them before.”

“Yet just by touching them, these two poisonous weeds gave Grandpa quite severe frostbite and burns.”

“If these were to be taken, I’m afraid it would shatter and cook the internal organs!”

“Grandpa, these two Immortal Herbs have specific methods of consumption.”

“Please believe me, I won’t mess around!”

The Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and blazing apricot delicate had allowed Tang San in the original work to absorb a ten-thousand-year-old fourth spirit ring, basically increasing a Spirit Master’s spirit ring absorption limit by more than five thousand years.

Ye Luo certainly wouldn’t let them go, and could not help but say with great firmness.

Originally, Dugu Bo was somewhat disagreeing out of worry.

But with Qian Renxue backing him up, he finally agreed.

However, before conducting the Ice and Fire Body Refining, Ye Luo prepared to first consume the shoot of the ink jade divine bamboo, and then consume the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and blazing apricot delicate to conduct the Ice and Fire Body Refining.

Afterwards, he would consume the sees-through-autumn-water dew.
