Harvesting Immortal Herbs, Absorbing Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, Infernal Delicate Apricot

"Yeah! This is what it means to win people over with virtue!" Ye Wen said with a serious expression.

Evil Tiger and Xiao Bai felt like coughing up blood: "..."

"How is this possible? How is this possible?! Grandpa was actually knocked down with one punch!"

"Grandpa!!" Dugu Yan stared at the three black-clad figures before her, filled with both fury and terror.

Who was her grandfather?

A level 92 Titled Douluo!

And he had been instantly defeated by a single punch? How could that not terrify her?

"I didn't expect Dugu Bo to be this bad at taking a beating!?" Evil Tiger glanced at Dugu Bo lying on the ground with disdain.

"Maybe I used too much force." Ye Wen shrugged.

He knew that Dugu Bo was actually extremely formidable in group battles. Once his poison attacks were unleashed, they could kill masses of people, leaving the enemy with only Titled Douluo-level fighters.

But Dugu Bo truly couldn't beat a single Titled Douluo!

He was said to be the weakest in one-on-one combat among Titled Douluo.

Xiao Bai asked, "Boss, what should we do with this girl?"

"Knock her out and tie her up for now. We'll release them after we leave." Ye Wen glanced at the young girl, whose face was full of terror.

"Alright, Boss."

"Wh-what are you doing? N-no, don't come over, don't~~~" Dugu Yan screamed.

"Little girl, hehehe, don't be scared. Bear with it—it'll be over soon!"

The next second.

Bang!

"Mm~"

Evil Tiger struck Dugu Yan on the back with one hand, knocking her unconscious.

Ye Wen rolled his eyes. "If you're knocking her out, just knock her out. Could you not make it sound like you're some kind of pervert?"

"It was a genuine expression of emotion." Evil Tiger scratched his head.

"Forget it. Tie them up."

"Yes, Boss!"

Evil Tiger then tied Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan together, keeping watch over them.

Meanwhile, Ye Wen and Xiao Bai slowly approached the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

Xiao Bai said in surprise, "I didn't expect there to be so many strange flowers and plants here. Every one of them gives off a peculiar aura, and they're all rather pretty too."

"Xiao Bai, don't touch them with your hands. Some Immortal Herbs are highly poisonous; even you could suffer if you're careless," Ye Wen warned.

"Oh, got it~" Xiao Bai did not dare touch anything, but she could not suppress her curiosity. "Boss, what is this one?"

Ye Wen examined it. "If I'm not mistaken, this should be Nine-Rank Purple Ganoderma. It can improve a person's talent and physique. After eating it, even trash with only half a level of Innate Soul Power could possibly cultivate to the Titled Douluo realm."

"It's that amazing?" Xiao Bai was greatly surprised.

The two walked among the Immortal Herbs, examining the oddly shaped flowers and plants. Their numbers were even more astonishing than Ye Wen had imagined.

He could not help sighing. "What a waste! If Dugu Bo understood the effects and properties of every Immortal Herb, how could he be only level 92? I wouldn't dare say much higher, but level 96 should have been possible, at the very least."

"What a pity! Now, they'll all be mine."

"Xiao Bai, let's dig up all the Immortal Herbs now. Remember, don't touch them with your hands. Use something else to dig them up, then circulate your soul power and store them in the Space Soul Tool. Once we return, we'll consume these Immortal Herbs. But there are two that I must consume here."

"Alright."

Xiao Bai nodded.

The two immediately got to work and quickly stored all the Immortal Herbs in the Space Soul Tool, apart from a few that had yet to sprout.

However, for those unsprouted Immortal Herbs to grow and even mature, a few hundred or thousand years would not be nearly enough.

Before long, only the Infernal Delicate Apricot and the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass by the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well remained.

"Boss, are these the two Immortal Herbs you plan to absorb here?" Xiao Bai asked.

"Mm. One of these Immortal Herbs carries the most frigid poison in the world, while the other carries the most blazing poison. They are the pinnacle existences of the ice and fire attributes, and they need the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well in order to be absorbed." Ye Wen nodded and explained.

Then he said, "Dugu Bo should be waking up soon. Go guard them with Evil Tiger. Before I finish absorbing them, don't let them escape."

"Alright, Boss. Be careful."

Xiao Bai left and walked out.

"Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, Infernal Delicate Apricot." Ye Wen murmured their names, a faint smile rising on his lips.

Although these two Immortal Herbs would not do much to raise his soul power, they could strengthen his physique and grant immunity to both ice and fire. More importantly, they could give him a body immune to all poisons.

This would be quite useful in the future, when Tang San underwent the Sea God Eighth Trial and Ye Wen faced Tang San in their Fated Duel, especially against Tang San's Hidden Weapons.

Therefore, he had to obtain these two Immortal Herbs.

"Now, begin!"

Ye Wen sent out two blades of Soul Power, severing the roots of the immortal herbs. He then manipulated his Soul Power to make the two herbs collide before switching back to Humanoid Form and absorbing them!

"Truly domineering!"

After consuming them, Ye Wen's body instantly began to freeze. The chill penetrated his marrow, causing excruciating pain. Soon afterward, he became scorching hot, as though his entire body were being burned!

Without further hesitation, he leaped into the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

Splash!

Ye Wen's body plunged into the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, and the pain of ice and fire finally vanished. Sitting cross-legged within it, he began absorbing and digesting the medicinal effects of the two immortal herbs.

Before he knew it, an hour had passed.

Most of the medicinal effects of the two immortal herbs had been absorbed and digested by Ye Wen. The remainder would slowly be fully digested over time.

"Not bad. My body has clearly become much stronger!" Ye Wen clenched his fist, sensing his current physique, and felt quite pleased.

He did not rush to leave the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. Instead, his gaze turned toward its depths.

Almost no one knew the origins of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, or how it had formed.

But Ye Wen knew that the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well had formed because, long ago, among the Dragon God's nine sons—the Nine Great Dragon Kings—the Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King had fallen here at the same time.

In other words, beneath this abyssal depth lay the remains of two God-tier Dragon Kings.

"Ice Dragon King, Fire Dragon King—sons of the Dragon God, the strongest Beast God Deity of the ancient Divine Realm; two Super God-tier Divine Dragons of the Dragon Clan. I'm rather interested in seeing what you looked like."

Roar!!

Ye Wen transformed into the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King and swiftly swam toward the depths below.

As he dove deeper and deeper, everything around him had long since become pitch-black. He could not see anything, but he had a way to illuminate the surroundings.

He continued rapidly swimming downward. A moment later—

Splash!

His body finally reached the bottom.

"This... is the Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King!"

Ye Wen finally saw the enormous corpses of the Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King buried in the depths, and he was utterly shaken.

Before him lay two massive dragons. Their flesh had not decayed—one blue, one red—as though they had not yet died.

Yet they truly were dead. Even so, they still emitted an aura that made Ye Wen deeply wary, along with an absolute racial suppression.
