Distributing Immortal Herbs

Ye Feiyang's purpose in coming to the Yin Yang Well went far beyond the Immortal Herbs before him.

What he truly had his eyes on were the treasures hidden beneath the spring.

However, his gaze first settled on the Immortal Herb known as the emperor of flowers—Youxiang Qiluo Xianpin.

This Immortal Herb possessed the miraculous ability to neutralize all poisons, and poison happened to be Ye Feiyang's current weakness. There was no more suitable choice.

As for the Xuan Bing Grass and Xing Jiao Shu beside the spring, he planned to have the system refine them into pills.

Once refined into pills, everyone around him could use them to temper their bodies, greatly increasing their resistance to both ice and fire attributes.

In addition, Wangchuan Chunshui Lu had also been added to the alchemy list. Pills refined from it could improve mental strength and eyesight.

Zhu Zhuqing and he himself had both cultivated the Netherworld Eyes, while Xiao Wu possessed the Moon Eye and could use charm techniques. These two attributes were crucial to them.

Moreover, the strength of one's body and mental power directly determined the age limit of Soul Rings one could absorb. There was no room for carelessness.

The Xiangsi Duan Changhong that the system had specifically recommended for Xiao Wu was practically tailor-made for her.

As for the Shui Xuan Jade Muscle Bone, it seemed destined for Zhu Zhuqing. After consuming it, it could nourish her muscles and bones, open all her meridians, and comprehensively strengthen her physique. It perfectly suited her cultivation path.

Ning Rongrong's Martial Soul had already undergone evolution, so there was no need to waste the Qiluo Tulip on her. Ye Feiyang had long decided to give this Immortal Herb to Ning Fengzhi.

In comparison, the Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid could consolidate one's foundation and nourish one's essence, greatly increasing total Soul Power and recovery speed. It was exactly what Ning Rongrong currently needed.

The Cockscomb Phoenix Crown could purify Huo Wu's fire attribute, push her fire attribute toward ultimate fire, and dramatically increase her Soul Power. It was an excellent choice.

The Snow-Colored Swan Kiss was not poisonous by itself and could only enhance poison under specific conditions.

However, the key was that it relied on frigid energy to suppress violent energy fluctuations and sustain its growth. It had originally shared a symbiotic relationship with the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass.

Shui Bing'er's Martial Soul was also ice-attributed, so naturally she would have no problem consuming the Snow-Colored Swan Kiss.

This was equivalent to Shui Bing'er taking the place originally held by the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and forming a new symbiotic relationship with the Snow-Colored Swan Kiss.

That might even make her ice attribute purer and raise her strength to another level.

As for Xue Qinghe, Ye Feiyang planned to have her consume the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum. This Immortal Herb could greatly strengthen her physique, compensate for her weakness in close combat, and lay a solid foundation for achieving a god-level body in the future.

Furthermore, the immense medicinal power contained within the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum was enough to help Xue Qinghe break through to the Soul Saint level in one go, saving her considerable cultivation time.

At that moment, the system's voice suddenly rang out in Ye Feiyang's mind:

[The Two Extremes Body Tempering Pill requires the main ingredients: Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, Infernal Delicate Apricot; the Soul Nurturing Pill requires the main ingredient: Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew; the Transformation Pill requires the main ingredient: Dilong Jinguazi...]

Dilong Jinguazi possessed an earth attribute, and its main effect was to trigger bloodline evolution. No wonder it was the main ingredient of the Transformation Pill.

After hearing the system's announcement, Ye Feiyang frowned and asked, "Those are only the main ingredients? Don't tell me I still have to prepare the supplementary ingredients myself? Let me make this clear first—I don't have any extra ingredients..."

Though he said that, the words "Transformation Pill" stirred something within him, and he could not help feeling excited.

Was this a coincidence, or had the system done it deliberately?

If he had Transformation Pills, could those powerful Soul Beasts directly take human form without undergoing such long years of cultivation?

He hurriedly checked the details of the pills:

Transformation Pill: Can help beasts with a certain level of cultivation take human form without harm. After transformation, their original cultivation will be sealed within their bodies as an inner pill. The transformed beast may directly absorb the cultivation contained within the inner pill and recover its former strength in an extremely short period of time.

Soul Nurturing Pill: Nourishes and expands the sea of consciousness, increases mental strength and eyesight, can be taken repeatedly, and has no side effects.

Two Extremes Body Tempering Pill: Tempers the body, enhances the strength and resilience of muscles and bones, and greatly increases resistance to both ice and fire attributes. Its medicinal effect is fierce; one pill can raise resistance to an individual's limit, and taking more is useless.

So-called ice immunity and fire immunity were not absolute immunity. They merely meant extremely high resistance.

If an opponent's ice- or fire-attributed attack could not exceed that resistance threshold, then it was practically no different from immunity for the person who had consumed the pill.

"Hiss~~ This Transformation Pill is way too useful! No need to spend ages cultivating, and it directly skips the weak period after transforming. It's practically a blessing for Soul Beasts..."

Ye Feiyang could not help thinking of how Xiao Wu had only cultivated to level 29 after transforming, even after six years. Compared to that, she truly counted as a little pitiful thing.

[Host, after deducting the Immortal Herbs you plan to keep, all remaining Immortal Herbs and spirit herbs here can be exchanged for: ten Transformation Pills, thirty Soul Nurturing Pills, and thirty Two Extremes Body Tempering Pills...]

The moment Ye Feiyang heard that, he was dissatisfied.

Besides the immortal-grade herbs in the center of the valley, there were still thousands upon thousands of spirit medicines around the outskirts. How could they only be exchanged for so few pills?

"System, are you trying to strip this place bare? That's way too ruthless, isn't it?" To be honest, seeing so many spirit medicines exchanged for so few pills made his heart ache.

[Host, this system will only take the portions of Immortal Herbs and spirit herbs above their roots, which will not affect their growth period. After some time, these Immortal Herbs and spirit herbs can sprout again. If there is a wood-attributed growth-promoting method, the process can be accelerated...]

Ye Feiyang fell into thought. By the system's logic, as long as he cultivated them properly, he would have a chance to harvest another batch in the future.

Thinking about how Immortal Herbs at this point in time were practically there for the taking, while Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts were difficult to find in Tang San's era, yet were everywhere in Huo Yuhao's era... the contrast was truly absurd.

Although Youxiang Qiluo Xianpin and Xiangsi Duan Changhong had already displayed traces of intelligence—the former could release its fragrance on its own to attract or repel outside creatures, while the latter required blood to acknowledge an owner or it would wither on its own—their overall intelligence was clearly still low.

Other Immortal Herbs also required specific harvesting methods, such as using metal tools to collect them or using metal attributes to counter them. All of this was enough to show that these Immortal Herbs had only just begun to develop intelligence.

As for those spirit medicines that had not reached immortal grade, harvesting them did not require such particular care.

Ye Feiyang suddenly remembered something and hurriedly asked the system, "System, what about the Origin Essence Pills I asked you for earlier? You didn't forget, did you?"

That damned system had just made the other pills sound so amazing that it had nearly made him forget this matter.

If all the Immortal Herbs were taken away by the system and exchanged for other pills, where would he find more to exchange for Origin Essence Pills?

[Host, since you have mentioned it, I will additionally give you three Origin Essence Pills...]

Ye Feiyang was so angry that he laughed. "If I hadn't brought it up myself, were you planning to swallow those pills? You mutt..."

Though he complained aloud, Ye Feiyang was actually quite tempted. Three Origin Essence Pills had already exceeded his expectations.

He then remembered that the key to nurturing these Immortal Herbs was the special environment of the Yin Yang Well, and the cause of that special environment lay at the bottom of the springs.

Thus, Ye Feiyang continued questioning the system. "System, if I take away the things beneath the springs, will the special environment here disappear and this place be completely ruined?"

[Yes. Once the core substances at the bottom of the springs are removed, this place's unique environment will gradually fade over time until it becomes no different from an ordinary valley...]

[However, if the host does not touch the Extreme Cold Ice Spring and the Blazing Yang Spring themselves, the special environment may still be maintained for several decades.]

Upon hearing that it would still take several decades before the place was completely ruined, Ye Feiyang instantly lost all psychological burden.

Perhaps by then, he would already have become a god. Even if this place was ruined, it would not matter. At worst, he could simply create another Yin Yang Well.

If he could not become a god, then whether this place existed or not would not matter much to him anyway.

As for conscience, he did not need too much of that in the first place...

Besides, even if he did not take the things beneath the springs, Tang San would eventually help his son take away all the treasures here. Even Huo Yuhao had only obtained the ice spring and the yang spring... so taking them now could count as following the will of fate.

Now that he understood the situation, it was time to distribute the Immortal Herbs to his disciples.

Ye Feiyang turned to look at Xiao Wu, who was seriously absorbing the medicinal power of Xiangsi Duan Changhong. Her aura was steady, her complexion rosy, and everything appeared normal.

Good. Then they would continue according to the plan.

Ye Feiyang bent down, dug up the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum by his feet, and handed it to Xue Qinghe. "Qinghe, this Immortal Herb is called the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum. Its medicinal properties are fierce but upright and balanced. It can strengthen your physique, so it suits you perfectly."

Xue Qinghe nodded without asking further questions. She trusted Ye Feiyang's judgment, and she knew nothing about Immortal Herbs anyway. All she had to do was obediently follow his arrangements.

"Yun Zhou, thank you." Xue Qinghe accepted the Immortal Herb, found a quiet corner, sat cross-legged, and began absorbing its medicinal power.

Then Ye Feiyang beckoned to Zhu Zhuqing. "Little Zhuqing, come here. This Shui Xuan Jade Muscle Bone is yours. After consuming it, it can nourish your muscles and bones, open all your meridians, and comprehensively strengthen your physique. It will greatly benefit your cultivation."

"Alright, thank you, Teacher." Zhu Zhuqing answered briefly. As she took the Immortal Herb, an unmistakable flash of joy appeared in her eyes.

Seeing this, Ning Rongrong eagerly bounced over to Ye Feiyang. Her eyes sparkled as she stared at him and impatiently asked, "Teacher, Teacher! They all have Immortal Herbs now. What about mine? What should I eat?"

Ning Rongrong's anxious appearance amused Ye Feiyang. He picked the Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid nearby and handed it to her. "Little Rongrong, this Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid can consolidate your foundation and nourish your essence, greatly increasing your total Soul Power and recovery speed. It is exactly right for you."

After a pause, Ye Feiyang added, "Oh, and there's more good news for you."

He walked over to another Immortal Herb, picked the Qiluo Tulip, and said, "This Immortal Herb is called the Qiluo Tulip. There is a high chance it can evolve your father's Martial Soul. When we return, give it to Sect Master Ning."

The instant Ye Feiyang finished speaking, Ning Rongrong's eyes widened round, her little mouth slightly open as disbelief covered her face.

She was so excited that she did not know what to do with her hands and feet. Stammering, she said, "T-Teacher! Is that true? This Immortal Herb can really evolve my father's Martial Soul?"

Ye Feiyang nodded firmly. "Of course it's true. I'll keep this Immortal Herb for you first, then deliver it to your father after we return."

"Wuwuwu~~~ Teacher, you're so good!" Ning Rongrong instantly began acting dramatically, forcefully squeezing out two tears as she rubbed herself against Ye Feiyang to express her gratitude.

By the time Ye Feiyang gently pushed her away, the tears on her face had already been wiped clean, leaving only a triumphant smile.

Ye Feiyang helplessly rubbed Ning Rongrong's hair and urged, "Go absorb the Immortal Herb's medicinal power already. Little Bing'er and the others are still waiting. Don't waste time."

"Alright!" Ning Rongrong giggled, turned around and made a face at Shui Bing'er and Huo Wu, then found an open space, sat cross-legged, and began absorbing the medicinal power of the Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid.

"Little Bing'er, this Snow-Colored Swan Kiss is for you." Ye Feiyang handed the Snow-Colored Swan Kiss to Shui Bing'er and explained, "This Immortal Herb is somewhat special. You'll understand its benefits once you absorb it. Most importantly, it can increase your Soul Power, and there is also a chance that it will make your ice attribute purer."

Shui Bing'er accepted the Immortal Herb, stepped forward, and gently hugged Ye Feiyang. In a soft voice, she said, "Thank you, Teacher. You're so good..."

"Alright, go cultivate. Don't waste the Immortal Herb's medicinal power." Ye Feiyang gently patted Shui Bing'er's back, signaling for her to go absorb the medicine.

"Alright, Teacher!" Shui Bing'er's little face reddened slightly as she quickly walked aside and sat down. Only at times like this could she openly ask her teacher for a hug.

Ye Feiyang smiled and shook his head before turning toward Huo Wu, who was gazing at him expectantly from the side. He beckoned to her. "Little Huo Wu, come here. What's this? Are you feeling wronged because I saved you for last?"

Huo Wu immediately put on a pitiful expression and said quietly, "Teacher, I'm not feeling wronged. I just... want a hug too..."

Ye Feiyang raised an eyebrow. It was just a hug. What was the big deal?

With benefits being offered right to him, how could he possibly refuse? Of course, it also counted as a display of the deep bond between teacher and disciple.

Ye Feiyang pulled Huo Wu into his arms and gently patted her back. "Satisfied now? This Immortal Herb is called the Cockscomb Phoenix Crown. It can purify your fire attribute and greatly increase your Soul Power. Go cultivate quickly. Don't miss the best time to absorb its medicinal power."

"Alright, Teacher. Thank you, Teacher. Love you..." Huo Wu's heart was instantly filled to the brim, and a satisfied smile appeared on her face.

She accepted the Cockscomb Phoenix Crown, found an open area as well, sat cross-legged, and began focusing on absorbing the Immortal Herb's medicinal power.

After arranging everything for everyone, Ye Feiyang immediately felt much more relaxed.

Watching his five disciples earnestly absorb the Immortal Herbs, their auras steadily growing stronger, he could not help revealing a gratified smile like that of an old father.

Suddenly, a powerful wave of Soul Power erupted from behind Ye Feiyang.

He hurriedly turned around. That powerful fluctuation was coming from Xue Qinghe.

Soul Power now swirled around Xue Qinghe's body, and her aura was far stronger than before. The aura of a Soul Saint grew increasingly dense around her. She had clearly broken through her level limit.

"Hiss~~" Ye Feiyang let out a soft sigh and muttered inwardly, This woman is impressive! She only started absorbing it a short while ago, and she has already broken through?

But after thinking it over, Xue Qinghe had already been on the verge of a breakthrough. Using the medicinal power of the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum to break through now was only natural.

Her talent had always been extraordinary. If she could focus wholly on cultivation, then among everyone present, aside from himself, no one could match the speed of her progress.

Ye Feiyang knew that Xue Qinghe was probably now stuck at her level cap as well. Even if the medicinal power of the Immortal Herb could not be completely absorbed in one go, it would settle within her body.

Even if her level was temporarily capped, it did not matter. Her Soul Power could still continue accumulating. Once she obtained a new Soul Ring, she could break through the level restriction and continue increasing her strength.

He did not disturb the girls' cultivation. Instead, he shifted his gaze to Dugu Bo, who was "admiring" the Bilin Seven Absolute Flowers around the outskirts.

Dugu Bo was sensible enough not to come over and disturb them. Although his heart ached so much at the sight of those harvested Immortal Herbs that the corners of his mouth twitched, since he had already agreed to give the Bilin Seven Absolute Flowers to his granddaughter, he had no intention of going back on his word.

Now, this treasure land had practically changed owners. Moreover, he was somewhat afraid of Ye Feiyang to begin with. He could only watch helplessly as Ye Feiyang distributed Immortal Herbs to his disciples, not daring to voice a single complaint.

If Dugu Bo had not been suffering from so many old ailments, the Snow-Colored Swan Kiss could actually have amplified the poison in his body. Unfortunately, he could barely protect himself right now and could not consume this Immortal Herb at all. It could only benefit Ye Feiyang's disciple instead.

With a smile at the corner of his lips, Ye Feiyang slowly walked over to Dugu Bo and teased, "Poison Douluo, why are you looking at it so affectionately? You don't need to guard it here all the time. This Bilin Seven Absolute Flowers isn't going anywhere."

"If you're worried, you can go bring your granddaughter here now. We don't plan to leave anytime soon, so she can come absorb the Immortal Herb's medicinal power as well."

Hearing this, Dugu Bo slapped his thigh, suddenly understanding. He immediately stood up and eagerly said, "Dean Ye, of course this old man trusts you! You are right. I will go bring Yan Yan here at once. I absolutely cannot delay her opportunity!"

"Please make sure to watch over this Bilin Seven Absolute Flowers for me, Dean Ye. This old man will be endlessly grateful!"

Ye Feiyang was somewhat speechless. The Bilin Seven Absolute Flowers had grown here for so many years without incident, yet Dugu Bo was worried about it now?

However, Ye Feiyang knew that Dugu Bo dearly loved his granddaughter, so he did not continue teasing him. Instead, he nodded. "Go without worry. I'll keep an eye on it. Oh, there's also a girl named Ye Lingling on the Royal Fight Team. While you're at it, ask whether she would be willing to come too."

"Just tell her... someone can help her resolve the problem with her Martial Soul inheritance, so she won't have to keep suffering because of her Martial Soul."

Dugu Bo had never held much affection for the Heaven Dou royal family. Back when he had refused to join Spirit Hall and was pursued by Ju Gui Douluo, Prince Xue Xing had brought people to save him. He remained with the Heaven Dou royal family purely to repay that favor, and he felt even less attachment to the Royal Fight Team.

He sneered inwardly. If Ye Lingling was willing to come, that would be best. If she was not willing, he had plenty of ways to "invite" her. Kidnapping people was what he did best...

In Dugu Bo's eyes, face had never been the most important thing. His granddaughter's opportunity and resolving Ye Lingling's Martial Soul problem were the top priorities.

"Leave this matter to this old man! Rest assured, Dean Ye, I will definitely bring her here!" Dugu Bo patted his chest and promised.

After saying that, he hurriedly turned and left, afraid of delaying his granddaughter's opportunity.

That old man knew when to give and when to take. He had been straightforward when giving away the Immortal Herb, and he handled matters efficiently as well. He was someone worth befriending.

Ye Feiyang thought to himself that Dugu Bo was currently plagued by ailments and was unsuitable for absorbing Immortal Herbs. But after handling matters here in the future, he would give Dugu Bo some other compensation. He would not let the old man help him for nothing.

Ye Feiyang shook his head with a laugh and turned toward the springs.

He came to Youxiang Qiluo Xianpin and muttered to himself, "I'm preparing to consume you now, but I'll leave your roots behind so you can grow again in the future. You shouldn't have any objections, right?"

Ye Feiyang spoke to himself, not caring whether the Immortal Herb could respond.

"Well, you haven't explicitly refused, so I'll take that as consent!"

Smiling, he reached out and carefully removed the portion of Youxiang Qiluo Xianpin above its roots before directly placing it into his mouth.

Mm, the taste was somewhat bitter, but the medicinal power contained within the Immortal Herb was vast. The moment it entered his mouth, it transformed into a warm current of energy that slid down his throat and into his abdomen.

Ye Feiyang did not dare delay. He quickly found a quiet place, sat down cross-legged, and focused on absorbing that immense medicinal power.

Before long, three crisp whoosh, whoosh, whoosh sounds rang out within Ye Feiyang's body. He had broken through three levels in succession!

Ye Feiyang's cultivation speed had always been enhanced by the system, and his efficiency in absorbing Immortal Herbs was much faster than that of ordinary people. Such a breakthrough was only natural.

"Finally, level 86." Ye Feiyang slowly opened his eyes, felt the surging Soul Power within his body, and smiled in satisfaction.

The higher one's level, the greater the amount of Soul Power required for every subsequent increase. For Youxiang Qiluo Xianpin, the emperor of flowers, to raise him three levels in a row was already an immensely gratifying result.

Ye Feiyang stood up and swept his gaze across everyone absorbing the medicinal power of the Immortal Herbs. Finally, his eyes settled on Xiao Wu. Xiao Wu, who had been the first to begin absorbing an Immortal Herb, slowly opened her eyes at that moment. Her gaze was full of joy. She had clearly finished absorbing the medicinal power of Xiangsi Duan Changhong, and her strength had increased greatly.
