"Have you offended the Sea God?"

"Aromatic Silk Beauty."

"That's right."

Zhou Qing nodded, "Moreover, we have also shattered the Sea God's Will of the Sea God's Light, and we will inevitably have to fight against it in the future."

The Aromatic Silk Beauty, fell silent.

The remaining Immortal Herb herbs also fell silent, their spirits subdued, as if they no longer wished to have anything to do with Zhou Qing and the others.

Zhou Qing understood this.

Although these Immortal Herbs are the precursors to those Immortal Herbs in Douluo II, their cultivation philosophy is the same: the pursuit of immortality. As for the Divine Realm's attitude towards non-human Soul Beast—

I have absolutely no idea.

They don't care about the future of Soul Beast.

This is also a common problem among Soul Beast. Most of them only seek their own transcendence and do not care about other races at all. They can even be ruthless and not care about the life or death of other members of their own race.

Similarly, those beings who become gods, even if they were human before becoming gods, are no longer human after becoming gods; they have lost their human nature.

Divine Heart?

That is no different in essence from a beast's heart.

Zhou Qing loathed this kind of blood-related "contempt," which was one of the fundamental reasons why he felt out of place in this world.

"Why aren't they talking?" Romantina wondered, puzzled by the sudden silence of these Immortal Herbs; even their Spiritual Power fluctuations had vanished.

Dead?

That doesn't make sense! The medicinal plant is clearly growing vigorously!

"Never mind them, take a look at the patterns inside this tulip." Zhou Qing didn't want to deal with these lazy bums and urged Romantina to hurry up.

"Yes, yes, they really know how to order people around."

Romantina blushed, but still used her First Soul Skill and Na Yi collect and record the energy flow and peculiar patterns inside the Aromatic Silk Beauty.

For some time afterward, in the Heaven Dou City, at the Heaven Dou Great Soul Fighting Arena, the Preliminary Competition continued, with various Advanced Academy teams vying for the remaining fourteen qualifying spots for the entire Heaven Dou Empire.

With the help of Romantina's skills, Zhou Qing and Tang San learned about the special "skills" of all the Immortal Herb in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. They also helped Dugu Bo adjust the efficiency of his cultivation technique according to the changes in temperature and weather throughout the day, helping him to further improve his Human Martial Cauldron Soul Furnace.

In addition, Zhou Qing also sat cross-legged around the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to cultivate, using the Innate Internal Scripture Chart to comprehend the Aura Field of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

Everything has Aura Field.

This Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was formed from the remains of the Water and Fire Dragon Kings after their fall, and its immense energy inevitably makes the Aura Field of this area extraordinary.

But no matter how extraordinary it is, it has ultimately become a part of the Douluo Continent, or rather, it will inevitably be fully integrated into the Douluo Continent, enhancing the energy level and strength of the Life Core and Plane Consciousness of the entire Planet.

In this way, the beings who assist in completing this process will inevitably attract the attention of the Douluo Star Will, and thus Fortune.

Admittedly, Zhou Qing did not believe in Fortune, but the principle that when the time is right, heaven and earth will lend a hand is not just empty talk in this world, so he had to give it a try.

So, in the time that followed, Zhou Qing did nothing but cultivate and use the Innate Internal Scripture Chart to connect the Pure and Impure Qi, strengthen his connection with heaven and earth, and begin transplanting the Immortal Herb and treasures around the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

First, Zhou Qing instructed Tang San to switch the positions of the two herbs, the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the Infernal Delicate Apricot, which grew in extremely cold and extremely hot locations respectively.

The Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass is of the ice attribute and originally grew in the Ice Pool, but now it has been moved to the Fire Pool.

The Infernal Delicate Apricot, are exactly the opposite.

After their positions were switched, their dormant consciousness suddenly returned, and upon realizing the change in their environment, they cried out.

What are you doing?

Infernal Delicate Apricot used the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy to conjure up the illusory figure of a girl wearing a crimson dress.

The appearance of the Infernal Delicate Apricot is similar to that of a cabbage, except that it is entirely crimson. The shape of its transformed form and its dress naturally resemble the leaves of the Infernal Delicate Apricot.

Following closely behind, the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, which resembled aloe vera, was entirely ice-blue, and had patterns resembling dragon scales, also materialized with the help of the Heaven and Earth Yuan Power.

Unlike the Infernal Delicate Apricot, the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass transformed into a handsome young man with a cold and aloof face, like eternal ice. He said to Zhou Qing, "Can we be transplanted back to our original location? Little Fire is more suitable for growing here, while I prefer an environment rich in ice elements."

Although these two highly poisonous creatures possessed extremely high cultivation levels, they were unable to fully materialize, and could not even move their own roots.

The reason is simple.

Within this Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, where the Heaven and Earth Energy is abundant, cultivation progresses much faster than outside, but one still cannot avoid the Heavenly Tribulation targeting Soul Beast.

Apart from the Immortal Herb plants, the other Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, after developing sentience, have been suppressing the growth of their intelligence to prevent themselves from being targeted by Heavenly Tribulation, in order to live longer.

Immortal Herb plants like the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the Infernal Delicate Apricot, after developing sentience, spend most of their time in slumber. As a result, although their cultivation levels are over Hundred-Thousand-Year, their true strength is not even as good as that of ordinary ten-thousand-year-old Soul Beast. They cannot even move their bodies on their own and can only rely on their medicinal properties to target enemies.

The most powerful move might be to join forces with the other Immortal Herb plants near the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to summon the Dragon Soul of the Ice and Fire Dragon King for protection.

Although the two Dragon Kings are dead, their Dragon Soul still retain their power, possessing Demigod-level strength, and are able to protect their safety.

But now, these humans have switched their positions. To grow in the future, they need to actively cultivate, drawing upon the elemental power and special minerals they desire from the other side. Furthermore, their roots must continuously grow downwards and towards the other side.

Isn't this just torturing the grass?

"Sorry, no."

Despite the fierce scolding of the Infernal Delicate Apricot and the pleas of the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, Zhou Qing remained unmoved. He called upon Tang San, Romantina, and Dugu Bo to dig up the other Immortal Herb by the roots and, based on his own senses, moved them one by one.

Using the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well as the Taiji diagram, the Eight Trigrams are arranged on the outside.

The Star Luo Spirit Pearl can absorb the essence of the Sun Moon, occupies the Qian Position, and represents heaven.

The Earth Dragon Golden Gourd belongs to the Earth element and can represent the earth, occupying the Kun Position.

Phoenix Tail Cockscomb Sunflower is of the fire element and occupies the Li Position.

Narcissus Jade Bone can help one develop a body of ice-cold skin and jade-like bones, occupying Kan Position.

The Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid has an effect comparable to the Narcissus Jade Bone, but its effect of nourishing the root and strengthening the essence is even greater. It can be used as a ze (a type of altar), occupying the Dui Position.

The Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum has a metallic element, and metal is most likely to attract thunder, thus representing thunder and the Zhen Position.

The Black Jade Divine Bamboo is a tree among grasses, extremely strong, and can represent a mountain, corresponding to the Gen Position.

Finally, the king of Immortal Herb, the Aromatic Silk Beauty, has a powerful effect, capable of altering the aura of others. Since scents are always accompanied by the wind, it occupies the Xun Position.

Thus, by using ten Immortal Herb as a foundation, and based on the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well energy field, a Yin-Yang Eight Trigrams Aura Field was constructed!

Meanwhile, the Infernal Delicate Apricot and the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass on the left and right sides of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, amidst their grumbling, had no choice but to begin cultivating on their own, drawing energy and minerals from the Fire Pool / Ice Pool on each other's side.

After all, the change of location will not have a significant impact on other Immortal Herb, but for these two Immortal Herbs, if they do not work hard, they will be killed by the extreme heat and cold of their new home!

Therefore, Zhou Qing was happy to see them cultivate voluntarily.

Only by moving can the "qi" (vital energy) circulate.

This is spiritual practice!
