Immortal Herbs

Question—

After Tang San jumped into the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, would he live or die?

One: Live. Two: Die. Three: Fate unknown.

A Prize Quiz question appeared on the Sky Screen. Before anyone could react, it randomly selected a lucky person to answer.

This lucky person did not come from any faction on the continent. He was merely an ordinary man with no Innate Soul Power.

He was so ordinary that, even at eighteen, he was still farming in his village. His impoverished life had left him unable even to afford a wife.

The Sky Screen's descent upon the Douluo Continent, along with the Prize Quiz it brought, had allowed this ordinary man to luckily answer several questions correctly and receive Gold Soul Coins as rewards.

At first, he really had lived a good life. But later... many people obtained Gold Soul Coins and wanted to spend them, eventually causing Gold Soul Coins to lose value.

Things that once cost one Gold Soul Coin now required two, or even three Gold Soul Coins.

In the end, things were much the same as before.

Although he had received quite a few Gold Soul Coins, his poor life had not improved.

Today, his luck was good.

He had actually been selected by the Sky Screen to answer a question.

The ordinary man immediately became excited. Among the three answers given by the Sky Screen, he decisively chose the first.

In his view, Tang San was the protagonist of a storybook. He would not die before the ending.

Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

"Ah, I really want to be chosen to answer a question." Madam Ning had once been selected.

At the time, she had been too busy getting excited and had forgotten to observe the details.

If she were chosen again, she would definitely observe carefully. Perhaps she might even crack the secret of the Sky Screen.

"Not just you. I want to be selected too," Ning Fengzhi said.

"He should have answered correctly. I wonder what reward he'll get?" Madam Ning asked curiously.

The rewards given by the Sky Screen came in all kinds of forms.

The most common was Gold Soul Coins.

It seemed that, to the Sky Screen, Gold Soul Coins were utterly worthless—the most ordinary reward imaginable.

"We'll know if we keep watching." Ning Fengzhi was also curious about what reward the Sky Screen would give.

This question was too simple. As long as someone was not an idiot, they could answer it correctly.

It all depended on the reward for the correct answer.

Normally, for such a simple question, the reward for answering correctly should be quite ordinary.

Ning Fengzhi could not have been more wrong.

This time, the Sky Screen generously gave an Immortal Herb as the reward.

Perhaps because it fit today's viewing, the Prize Quiz reward had become an Immortal Herb.

Immortal-grade medicinal herbs each possessed their own peculiar effects.

The immortal-grade herb received by the ordinary man who answered correctly was Nine-Rank Purple Ganoderma.

In the original story, after Tang San had talked Dugu Bo out of quite a few Immortal Herbs, he had not only distributed them to his companions, but also given Grandmaster a Nine-Rank Purple Ganoderma. It improved Grandmaster's talent and helped him break through the level 29 barrier that had troubled him for most of his life, finally allowing him to stop being a Soul Grandmaster.

Now, this ordinary man had also obtained a Nine-Rank Purple Ganoderma. Under the Sky Screen's recommendation, he ate it right in front of everyone.

Everyone had already been curious about the effects of Immortal Herbs.

Once this ordinary man ate the Immortal Herb, everyone would be able to witness its miraculous effects.

Hearing was false; seeing was believing.

"Nine-Rank Purple Ganoderma strengthens one's foundation and nourishes one's essence. It helps one break through bottlenecks... What a waste for an ordinary person to eat it!"

Yue Guan stared enviously at the ordinary man on the Sky Screen who had eaten the Nine-Rank Purple Ganoderma.

"Enough. Stop being jealous. The important matter comes first!" Gui Mei rolled his eyes and said speechlessly, "Let's hurry to Sunset Forest. Once we find the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, we can obtain even more Immortal Herbs. Why care about one that an ordinary person has eaten?"

"Old Ghost, you're right." Yue Guan nodded in agreement, then sped up.

"Hey, Chrysanthemum Guan, slow down!" Gui Mei shouted irritably as he watched Yue Guan dash away like the wind.

The people sent by Spirit Hall were heading toward Sunset Forest.

However, because Spirit City lay on the border between the Star Luo Empire and the Heaven Dou Empire, bordering the Star Dou Great Forest, it was quite a long distance from Sunset Forest near Heaven Dou City, the capital of the Heaven Dou Empire. They could not get there in a short time.

Even a Spirit Douluo, no matter how fast, could not arrive within a single day.

Only factions within the Heaven Dou Empire, or even within Heaven Dou City itself, could reach Sunset Forest faster.

For example—

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Among those capable of exploring Sunset Forest, only the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect qualified.

The Heaven Dou Imperial Family was close to Sunset Forest, but it did not have the strength to explore it.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect currently had two sect-protecting elders, both Title Douluo.

It was precisely because of these two Title Douluo that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect could rank among the Upper Three Sects.

In order to find the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had long since dispatched several teams, some even led by Spirit Douluo.

One Title Douluo had gone as well, while the other remained within the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to prevent anyone from launching an attack.

They had also seen the ordinary man answer correctly, receive an Immortal Herb, and eat it in front of everyone.

The Nine-Rank Purple Ganoderma took effect very quickly.

Or rather, the Sky Screen had catalyzed its medicinal effects, allowing effects that normally required a long time to digest to be absorbed in less than a minute.

The ordinary man who had eaten the Nine-Rank Purple Ganoderma underwent a striking change!

Originally born with zero Soul Power, he now possessed Soul Power. Not level 1, but level 10.

From Innate zero Soul Power to Innate Full Soul Power, all from eating a single Nine-Rank Purple Ganoderma.

Everyone saw the changes in the ordinary man after he ate the Immortal Herb.

It had been displayed on the Sky Screen for everyone to see. There was no way it could be fake.

This showed just how miraculous Immortal Herbs were!

An Immortal Herb that looked utterly ordinary had actually turned a useless person born with zero Soul Power into someone with Innate Full Soul Power.

He might not become a genius, but he could cultivate now.

At that moment, Immortal Herbs entered the sights of every major faction on the Douluo Continent.

All of them wanted to get their hands on one.

"How incredible. Just one Immortal Herb gave someone level 10 Soul Power. This... is far too exaggerated," Madam Ning said in astonishment.

She felt that the world was changing too quickly.

The suddenly appearing Sky Screen, followed by the many benefits it brought, left people overwhelmed.

"The importance of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well has increased. Anyone who wants to monopolize it will have to consider the thoughts of the other factions." Ning Fengzhi frowned.

Although the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was close to Sunset Forest and had seized the initiative, that did not mean they would necessarily find the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well before the other factions.

As long as they found it, they could obtain Immortal Herbs. There might even be an Immortal Herb capable of resolving the flaw in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda martial soul.

After all, if an Immortal Herb capable of raising Soul Power by ten levels out of nowhere existed, then one capable of resolving a martial soul's flaw should exist as well.

"Wow! I've struck it rich this time!" Lin Xianyu looked at the Immortal Herbs inside her storage Soul Tool. Her eyes shone like light bulbs, making her look rather frightening.

The Sky Screen System's Prize Quiz was practically sending her benefits.

This time was no exception. It had given her Immortal Herbs.

As Lin Xianyu took stock of the Immortal Herbs sent by the system, she was so shocked that she could not close her mouth.

There were simply too many Immortal Herbs, and there were even descriptions explaining their effects.

Lin Xianyu was now undoubtedly the person who understood Immortal Herbs best.

"Hehe... With so many Immortal Herbs in hand, my cultivation needs are covered." Lin Xianyu said excitedly, "I can break through even faster. Maybe I can create a miracle and reach Soul King at seven years old..."

Although one person could not eat too many Immortal Herbs, the Sky Screen would surely be able to solve that problem.

Lin Xianyu was not worried at all. She firmly believed the Sky Screen would give her cheats.

After the Prize Quiz ended, the lucky person randomly selected by the Sky Screen went home.

Who knew whether he would enjoy a good life after returning?

After all, he had eaten an Immortal Herb and gained level 10 Soul Power. As long as he obtained a soul ring, he would shed his commoner status and become an honored Soul Master.

The major factions also became interested in the lucky person who had eaten the Immortal Herb and wanted to recruit him for research.

In short, this lucky person's future life was certain to be wonderful.

Tang San ate the Star Anise Mysterious Ice Grass and the Infernal Delicate Apricot at the same time.

These two Immortal Herbs with completely opposing properties used Tang San's body as their battlefield and began their confrontation.

The impact of extreme cold and extreme heat caused Tang San unbearable pain.

Tang San could not endure it any longer and jumped straight into the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

This was the best way to solve the problem with his body.

When Dugu Bo's poison acted up, he too would jump into the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, using the extreme heat and cold to ease the poison's effects.

Tang San's idea was simple. He had consumed two Immortal Herbs, so he would hide in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, where Dugu Bo could not catch him.

However, he had underestimated the power of the two Immortal Herbs, leaving himself at the threshold between life and death.

The surging pain blurred his consciousness. Half asleep and half awake, he saw many people encouraging him to hold on.

Tang San received everyone's faith. Somehow, confidence welled up within him, and he actually persevered.

Within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, he began cultivating by making use of its special environment.

Clear Sky Sect.

After witnessing the extraordinary effects of Immortal Herbs, those who had originally shown no interest also became interested and deliberately dispatched people to Sunset Forest to search for the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

The two brothers, Tang Xiao and Tang Hao, did not go.

They were too young and too weak. Going to Sunset Forest would not be training—it would be suicide.

Thus, they remained in the sect and continued watching the Sky Screen.

"Hao, your bargain-bin son is pretty good." Tang Xiao praised him.

"Big Brother, he isn't my son." Tang Hao deliberately emphasized, "Stop saying that all the time. It makes me unhappy."

"Sorry, Hao. It was my fault. I shouldn't have ignored your feelings." Tang Xiao apologized of his own accord.

"Hmph, I forgive you." Tang Hao snorted.

"Hao, Immortal Herbs are amazing. It would be great if we could take them too," Tang Xiao said.

"Big Brother, stop daydreaming." Tang Hao rolled his eyes and said disdainfully, "The Immortal Herbs are in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. Even if we find it, do you think we can take them?"

"The major factions won't let us take the Immortal Herbs."

"If we really find the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, we won't get to decide which Immortal Herbs we want."

"We should just cultivate honestly and stop thinking about Immortal Herbs."

Tang Hao's words greatly shocked Tang Xiao.

His foolish little brother had finally grown up. He had begun using his brain instead of swinging a giant hammer whenever something happened.

Tang San sank into the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, and his condition was unknown. However, the Golden Iron Triangle, who were searching for him, had now gone deep into Sunset Forest. Under Three-Eyed Demon Fox's guidance, they finally found Dugu Bo's medicinal garden.

More precisely, if Dugu Bo had not exposed himself while suppressing his poison and leaked the aura of a Title Douluo, they would not have found it even if they searched for another day and night.

Just as they discovered Dugu Bo, Dugu Bo discovered them as well. After all, they were right outside his medicinal garden.

Normally, no Soul Masters came here. The occasional visitors would see the poisonous mist and choose to flee.

Only foolish soul beasts, incapable of learning their lesson, came again and again.

Originally, Dugu Bo had intended to check on Tang San's condition.

He had finally found someone confident in curing the poison afflicting both him and his granddaughter. He could not let Tang San die after touching something he should not have in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

But just as he was about to pull Tang San out, the Golden Iron Triangle charged over.

They were provoking him, a Title Douluo.

Dugu Bo was furious and decided to teach them a lesson.

When Dugu Bo appeared before the Golden Iron Triangle, the group that had become famous across the Douluo Continent more than ten years ago through their Martial Soul Fusion Skill immediately stopped.

The moment Grandmaster saw Dugu Bo, his eyes turned red. He immediately demanded, "Dugu Bo, where is Tang San? Where did you take him?"

Hearing Grandmaster's utterly disrespectful words, Dugu Bo sneered. "What are you? What right do you have to question me?"

As his words fell, he casually launched an attack, stirring the green poisonous mist and sending it sweeping toward Grandmaster.

Grandmaster's face turned green with fright. He hurriedly retreated several steps, only stopping once he had hidden behind Liu Erlong.

"You..."

Grandmaster wanted to curse Dugu Bo out, but Flender stopped him.

Inwardly, he gave Flender a thumbs-up.

Good brother. You're loyal.

"Senior Dugu Bo, Tang San is our student. May I ask how he offended you?" Flender spoke very politely, lowering his stance to the extreme as he said sincerely, "I apologize to you on his behalf. You are a Title Douluo, a great man with great magnanimity. Please do not hold it against a junior..."

"Hmph, you came too late." Dugu Bo snorted. "That brat Tang San has already been reduced to dust and bones."

"Y-You... what did you say?" Grandmaster could not believe it. He clenched his fists so tightly that veins bulged on them.

"He died. Isn't that normal? Of all people to offend, he had to offend me, a Title Douluo." Dugu Bo said arrogantly.

Dugu Bo did not know whether Tang San was dead or alive, but he dared to fool the Golden Iron Triangle.

Grandmaster clearly could not accept it.

Liu Erlong, meanwhile, did not care. She had only just met the Shrek Seven Devils and had spent even less time with them, so there was no shared bond to speak of.

Flender's expression was ugly. Thinking that Tang San, the Clear Sky Douluo's son, was dead, he began worrying whether the Clear Sky Douluo would come back specifically to give him a savage beating if he found out.

"Dugu Bo, you will definitely regret killing Tang San."

Flender still did not reveal Tang San's background.

If he truly said it, Dugu Bo, a lone Title Douluo, would indeed have to consider the matter.

Dugu Bo was not afraid of offending Tang Hao, the lone Clear Sky Douluo. If he could not defeat him, he could simply run away.

But if Tang Hao targeted his granddaughter, Dugu Bo could not stay by her side at all times.

"I have never regretted anything." Dugu Bo began putting on airs again. "You three truly have great courage. Two Soul Saints and one Soul Grandmaster actually dare to challenge me."

"I'd like to see what abilities you possess that make you dare challenge me."

Dugu Bo had actually been taking abuse from Tang San.

Now he wanted to vent it by teaching these three overconfident fools a lesson.

"Let me make this clear first. I have a thousand ways to make you beg for life and be denied death..."

Dugu Bo summoned his martial soul.

Nine spirit rings of different colors floated around him.

A terrifying pressure erupted from his body.

It made the Golden Iron Triangle extremely uncomfortable.

Especially Grandmaster. Liu Erlong and Flender were both Soul Saints and could withstand the pressure of a Title Douluo.

But Grandmaster, a level 29 Soul Grandmaster, could not. He nearly collapsed beneath the pressure Dugu Bo released.

It looked rather comical.
