"You really have a treasure trove of land but don't realize it."

A purple glint flashed in Tang San's eyes as he surveyed the entire Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. He sighed, "There are no fewer than ten immortal treasures like this Aromatic Silk Beauty, which surpasses even the rarest Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures and reaches the Immortal Herb level. In fact, some of these Immortal Herbs, if consumed directly by you, could completely cure your poison."

"Really?" Dugu Bo's eyes widened. He didn't doubt that Tang San was lying. On the contrary, he felt that all the suffering he had endured over the years had been in vain.

"For example, those immortal Immortal Herb that grow on either side of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, the Infernal Delicate Apricot and the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, if taken together in a special way, can neutralize the poison in your body. However, all your poison skills will also be neutralized, leaving only Titled Douluo- level Soul Power. In that case, the power of your Soul Skill will naturally decrease significantly," Tang San said, pointing to the two herbs.

"Never mind then."

Detoxification technique?

Isn't he doomed?

Besides, now that there is a possibility of advancing further with the help of poison skills, how can the Jade Phosphor Serpent Poison in the body be neutralized?

"Take a look around and see which herbs here can better assist my transformation. Use them on me. The rest are yours to take as you like," Dugu Bo said.

"So generous?" Zhou Qing was puzzled. Even if he didn't know the true value of the Immortal Herb here, Dugu Bo should know how precious the herbs growing here were, right?

"Anyway, I don't recognize them, so I might as well give them to you." Dugu Bo said casually. "To be honest, none of the herbs here were transplanted by me. They're of no use to me."

"Why not transplant them?" Zhou Qing wondered. Surely there must be other herbs that are not suitable for growing in such a precious place?

"I've found herbs from other places, such as the Ice Snow Lotus from the Extreme North and the Fire Ganoderma growing in the Extreme South Volcano, but they died as soon as they were transplanted here."

Dugu Bo was also puzzled, but he described the phenomena and results he had observed and made a guess. "Perhaps this precious land really cannot accommodate plants from other places."

"That's impossible."

However, Tang San frowned, and after hearing Dugu Bo's words, he temporarily withdrew his gaze from those Immortal Herbs.

The Ice Snow Lotus prefers shade and the Fire Ganoderma Mushroom prefers sunlight. They can grow near the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. How could they die as soon as they are transplanted?

He also knew that some plants would squeeze the growth space of other plants, and even "kill" other plants that dared to steal nutrients, but the resources of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well were so abundant, such a thing should not happen, right?

Unless--

Tang San thought of a possibility: the Immortal Herb here have already developed sentience and occupied this place to obtain the maximum nourishment of water and fire Primordial Energy, while rejecting any other special plants that dare to compete with them for growth resources.

After all, there are also Plant Soul Beast on the Douluo Continent. It is not impossible for these herbs and Immortal Herb to develop intelligence and become Soul Beast in such a favorable environment.

So, Tang San cautiously approached the Aromatic Silk Beauty. Based on the Tang Sect's method of judging the age of medicinal herbs, he examined the veins on its pale pink petals and the stripes on its stem, and couldn't help but widen his eyes.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing his surprise, Zhou Qing couldn't help but ask, "Is there something wrong with this Immortal Herb?"

"This is a huge problem!"

What did Tang San discover?

According to his judgment, this Aromatic Silk Beauty has lived for at least 50,000 years. Considering the special nature of this Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, ordinary plants cannot adapt to survive here, while plants that can adapt can grow for one year here, which is equivalent to ten years outside!

It can be said that if it had sentience and began to cultivate, this Aromatic Silk Beauty would be at least 500,000 years old!

"Five hundred thousand years!?"

Dugu Bo was the most shocked.

After all, according to Tang San, he had been with no fewer than ten Plant Soul Beasts that were over Hundred-Thousand-Year.

However, over the years, he has never found anything about these so-called "Immortal Herb" that resembled Plant Soul Beast.

"Perhaps the unique environment of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well allows them to accumulate cultivation but not to awaken their intelligence," Tang San guessed, then felt a pang of annoyance.

If he had known earlier that coming to Heaven Dou City to participate in the Continental Elite Tournament would bring such an opportunity, he should have cut down the Blue Silver Grass he left in Holy Soul Village first.

Because his Second Soul Skill, Spirit of Blue Silver, can only recreate a plant after the previous one has been destroyed.

If he could plant one of these plants in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, he could use his plant senses to thoroughly investigate these Immortal Herbs.

"Actually, it's not difficult to find out if they have developed intelligence."

Zhou Qing looked at Romantina.

They have an ace up their sleeve!

Without saying a word, Romantina immediately used her First Soul Skill, Spiritual Detection and Spiritual Sharing, instantly connecting with Zhou Qing, Tang San, and Dugu Bo.

Dugu Bo realized the effect of Romantina's Soul Skill for the first time and couldn't help but be surprised. However, he also seemed to understand why Zhou Qing and Tang San had such a deep understanding of the human body.

Romantina's Soul Skill is practically cheating!

Meanwhile, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and Ice Empress, hidden within Romantina's spirit, quietly emerged. However, with the help of Na Si's abilities, they temporarily shielded Dugu Bo, allowing only Zhou Qing, Tang San, and Romantina to see and hear their words.

These peculiar plants did indeed develop sentience, but it remained hidden in their roots; their Life force was also hidden in their roots...

Based on the findings of Romantina's Spiritual Detection, Ice Empress made its own judgment.

Therefore, directly breaking them will not yield Soul Ring; one can only obtain a fragment of the medicinal power and energy they contain.

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm added that she could provide detailed advice on which herb was suitable for each member of Zhou Qing's team, based on their individual circumstances.

But how exactly should one take the medication to maximize its effectiveness?

He doesn't know.

However, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm felt that with the efficacy of these Immortal Herbs, it didn't matter if some were wasted; she could just consume them all at once.

Eat?

Zhou Qing didn't think so.

Admittedly, these Immortal Herb do contain immense medicinal power, capable of reviving the dead and restoring flesh to bones. While that may be an exaggeration, it is absolutely possible to defy fate and change one's destiny.

However, considering the growth cycle of these things, eating them directly, even with Tang San's later best method to avoid wasting their medicinal power, would still be a waste.

Its true purpose is to study the essence of these magical treasures' abilities!

For example:

The Aromatic Silk Beauty can release a layer of pink light. In the original novel, it is said that as long as Tang San stands in it, he is immune to all poisons. No external toxins, even Dugu Bo's poisonous mist, can penetrate it in the slightest.

The effect can be summed up in two words:

Poison Immunity!
