Ye Qingxian: Suddenly I Really Want to Farm!

Sunset Forest.

They set out in the early morning and arrived at dusk.

The woods late at night were dark and silent.

One old, one grown, and one small—

three figures walked on in silence.

Dugu Bo brought Ye Qingxian and Lin Xiao to a sheer cliff. With one hand on each of their shoulders, he moved across the cliff as if no one could stop him, rushing forward at high speed.

After reaching the mountaintop, they descended again from a bend in a hollow.

Ye Qingxian could not help complaining, "Senior Poison Douluo, you really went to great pains to find a place like this."

"A desolate wilderness, sheer cliffs, twists and turns everywhere."

"I'm honestly curious how you found it. Even knowing that treasure land was in Sunset Forest, without you leading the way, I'm afraid it would be like searching for a needle in the sea—impossible to trace."

Dugu Bo slowly landed with the two of them.

"This Old Man discovered this place by chance as well. I simply liked going to deserted places to search for poisonous creatures, that's all. I never expected to stumble in by accident. Speaking of it, it was fate."

"Besides, This Old Man set up a Poison Array outside the valley. Even if someone truly did get lucky and make it here, I'm afraid they wouldn't live to return."

As he spoke, the group entered the valley.

It had clearly still been dark and lightless on the mountaintop, yet the moment they entered the valley, it suddenly brightened.

Past the willows and flowers, a hidden world opened before them.

Billowing steam rushed toward their faces. Ye Qingxian and Lin Xiao looked up and saw that they were standing at the entrance of the valley. Far ahead, they could see two oval pools, one milky white and the other vermilion.

"This is the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well you mentioned, Lin Xiao?"

Ye Qingxian stared blankly at the Ice Fire Spring before her.

Yin and yang coexisted, the two polarities restraining each other. It was truly a land shaped by nature's fortune.

Dugu Bo said calmly, "The closer one gets to the spring, the more medicinal herbs and poisonous herbs grow, and the Extreme Cold and extreme heat there become even more violent. Even I cannot remain there for long."

"Ye Family Head, you do not have Evil Fire protecting you. You must not go too deep."

Ye Qingxian nodded slightly.

In truth, when it came to these medicinal herbs and poisonous herbs, Ye Qingxian understood far more than Dugu Bo did.

She tried entering and, even at the outer edge, discovered many rare medicinal herbs that were usually hard to find. Each one, whether in age or quality, was astonishingly excellent!

The farther in she went, the brighter Ye Qingxian's eyes became.

"According to what Lin Xiao said, the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well can increase the growth speed of plants by hundreds or thousands of times compared to the outside world, but as I see it, it goes far beyond that."

"The closer one gets to the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well, the faster the plants grow. The outermost area can only boost them by ten years; near the inner area, it becomes a hundred years; deep in the inner area, it is a thousand years. But at the edge of the Ice Fire Spring, it may even surpass that!"

Hearing Ye Qingxian's deduction, Lin Xiao nodded inwardly.

No wonder Ah Yin had only stayed in the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well for a few years and had cultivated back to ten-thousand-year cultivation.

Some people's eyes turned red as they looked.

Ye Qingxian's breathing suddenly grew a little rapid.

"Old Mother's heart hurts!"

"All these years, what was I going through endless hardship to collect those precious medicinal ingredients for? A mere hundred-year Lingzhi was enough to make me so happy I lost my bearings! Here, it can only count as trash!"

Ye Qingxian, who prided herself on having seen the world.

A woman who prided herself on being elegant and composed, mature and steady like an eagle!

Today, she felt like a country bumpkin!

Boohoo... She suddenly really wanted to farm!

Ye Qingxian reached out to pluck a purple flower. Dugu Bo cried out in alarm, "Don't! That flower carries deadly poison!"

Yet Ye Qingxian was completely fine.

On closer look, he discovered she was wearing a pair of thin silk gloves, with an extremely fine layer of membrane inside the gloves as insulation.

Dugu Bo: "..."

He felt as if he kept overreacting. Wasn't that a little embarrassing?

At the side, Lin Xiao delivered the precise finishing blow.

"Senior Dugu, do you think there's a possibility that, when it comes to knowledge of medicinal herbs and poisonous herbs, Aunt Ye actually understands far more than you?"

Dugu Bo was left speechless, his old face flushing red.

Then shame turned into anger.

"This Old Man was only giving you a reminder. What are you butting in for, brat?"

At that moment.

Ye Qingxian took a jade shovel from her Storage Soul Tool and suddenly began digging, uprooting all the medicinal herbs growing on the ground.

Then she took out a hoe and started turning the soil.

The sight utterly stunned Dugu Bo and Lin Xiao.

"Aunt Ye, what are you doing?"

Ye Qingxian's voice was filled with heartache.

"Waste. What an absolute waste. Though the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well is a treasure land, the herbs within it are growing in complete disorder. They've only made it this far because of this treasure land's Spiritual Essence."

"What a reckless waste of heavenly gifts!"

"I'm going to rearrange this place and move some herbs to new spots. One stalk of grass takes up such a huge patch of land—does it even know what to do with all that space?!"

"After proper dense planting, the quantity can be increased at least threefold."

"Don't mind me. Lin Xiao, weren't you going to collect immortal herbs? Go take a look at what's there first, then tell me about it later."

With that, Ye Qingxian got busy.

In the midst of her work, she looked over the vast area of the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well.

Her heart seethed with resentment.

Waste, waste!

Why did she suddenly want so badly to stay here and farm?

Dugu Bo tossed a Blue Leather Pouch to Lin Xiao.

"This is Azure Water Jade. It can store living things. It's yours!"

Though Dugu Bo had kept silent these past few days, he had been quietly watching Lin Xiao and Dugu Yan interact. Seeing the guileless way they got along, the ice in his heart gradually melted.

Besides, Dugu Yan's physical strength had recently advanced by leaps and bounds.

That meant she could attach Soul Rings of higher age limits, indirectly raising her talent.

Though Dugu Bo did not know the reason.

When he asked Dugu Yan, she only said it had to remain a secret.

But all these changes had started after Lin Xiao arrived.

Naturally, he would not keep his good things hidden away either.

Lin Xiao took the Azure Water Jade and accepted it without the slightest politeness, glancing at Dugu Bo.

Yo, weren't you pretty fierce at the start?

Now you knew how to be generous!

"Senior Dugu, thanks."

After thanking him, Lin Xiao walked deeper into the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well.

Dugu Bo stood where he was and watched him. Seeing that he was not affected in the slightest, he finally relaxed. With nothing else to do, he began helping Ye Qingxian tidy up the Herb Garden.

Lin Xiao walked deeper into the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well.

The closer he got.

The more violent that aura of Extreme Cold and extreme heat became.

Ice and Fire Double Heavens in the truest sense.

The Phoenix Martial Soul inside Lin Xiao's body suddenly grew somewhat restless.

The Evil Fire in his body had actually been suppressed by the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well, just like Dugu Bo's poison?

It really was extraordinary!

Lin Xiao continued forward, looking over all the immortal herbs in the Core Area.

"Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, Infernal Delicate Apricot, Lovesick Heartbreak Red, Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew, Aromatic Silk Beauty, Snow-Colored Swan Kiss, Ten Thousand Year Ginseng King, Dragon Lingzhi Leaf, Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng, Beautiful Silk Tulip, Primal Chaos Immortal Herb, Black Jade Divine Bamboo, Earth Dragon Golden Gourd..."

"It really is like having a mountain of treasure right before me."

Even though Lin Xiao had long since mentally prepared himself.

He was still shaken by the dazzling array of immortal herbs.

Among them, aside from the ones he knew, there were actually many that had never been mentioned in the original work.
