The immortal herbs had it rough.
But what did that have to do with him?
Su Ming could not sympathize with the immortal herbs.
To be honest, if the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes had fallen into his hands, the immortal herbs would have met the same fate.
His opposition to Tang San was merely because Su Ming's interests had been harmed.
When it came to Soul Beasts, he simply would not shout about protecting them while simultaneously hunting high-level Soul Beasts like mad for his own cultivation.
They were, after all, two different races.
For cultivation, didn't Soul Masters also form different factions and compete with one another?
Once competition bred hostility, didn't they try to kill each other? Soul Beasts were the same—survival of the fittest, with the strong devouring the weak.
So why could Soul Masters not hunt Soul Beasts?
What absurd logic.
The same was even more true for immortal herbs.
They were resources.
Since they could defy fate and transform a Soul Master's destiny, of course they would be highly sought after.
Hundred Thousand Year immortal herbs?
Even if they grew in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes, they would need ten thousand years to mature. Yet over those ten thousand years, how many outstanding Soul Masters would need immortal herbs?
At that point, allowing the immortal herbs to gain intelligence and condense their essence into products like Blazing Gel and the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Crystal was the best way to maximize their value.
After all, immortal herbs were merely immortal herbs. They were somewhat special and could change a Soul Master's fate, but they could do nothing for themselves.
No matter how much they were indulged, they would only live for two hundred thousand years in the end.
They would never survive
