"Whoosh~ Swish~"
In the wilderness, one person and one dog galloped like the wind, heading towards the forest not far away!
"Xiao Ruan, faster!"
Bai Mu lay on Zygarde's back, feeling the howling airflow by his ears.
Thanks to his young age, he was able to ride Zygarde as a mount.
"Woof!"
Zygarde charged forward rapidly, each step of its four limbs erupting with powerful thrust, leaving afterimages in the forest.
An hour later, they had ventured deep into Sunset Forest.
The trees here were taller and denser, and the air was filled with a rich aura, the scent of Thousand-Year Spirit Beasts growing stronger.
Bai Mu dared not be careless. He and Zygarde entered invisibility completely and, following the breath traces left by Dugu Bo, charged deeper.
Title Douluo powerhouses, due to their immense strength, did not deliberately conceal their aura even when acting discreetly.
Moreover, Dugu Bo's unique aura provided Bai Mu with an opportunity to track him.
"Whimper."
After an unknown amount of time, Zygarde gradually slowed its pace.
"Has the aura dissipated?"
Although the aura guidance was lost, Bai Mu was not flustered.
The description of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well's location in the original work was quite clear, and he happened to remember it!
The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was located near a hill about five hundred meters high, within an inverted cone-shaped col, or basin. The surrounding area was humid, and the air was filled with a sulfur scent.
In addition, Dugu Bo had also set up a poison array for defense around it.
A single condition might make it difficult to pinpoint, but with so many characteristics combined, it wouldn't be hard to find within Sunset Forest.
"Look! What did I find?"
"It's a wild Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well!"
Before long, Bai Mu looked at the poisonous mist before him with joy.
He was certain that inside the poisonous mist was the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well!
But he didn't rashly approach, nor did he even deactivate Zygarde's invisibility.
"Dugu Bo went to Heaven Dou Royal Academy. Based on normal reasoning, after finishing his business, he will definitely go see his granddaughter Dugu Yan. He won't return until tomorrow at the earliest."
"Snakes have very powerful senses of smell. Just in case, try not to leave any trace of your scent."
He looked down at the Silver-White Bracelet on his wrist.
This was a Storage Soul Tool that Shui Bing'er had secretly slipped to him when he parted ways with the Shui family mother and daughter. Its Internal Space was about five cubic meters, enough for Daily Use.
"What a pity... this Soul Tool can't hold living creatures. Otherwise, I could have directly emptied out the entire Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well."
Bai Mu sighed lightly, looking at the poisonous mist before him and falling into thought.
The conditions for picking and storing Immortal Herbs were extremely harsh, and the key point was that one couldn't eat too many.
In the original work, even Tang San himself only consumed Infernal Delicate Apricot and Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass for Ice and Fire Body Tempering, plus Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew to strengthen his Purple Demon Eye and Spiritual Power.
Eat them, he couldn't eat them all!
If he wanted to pack them up and take them away to make a big move, he didn't have a suitable Soul Tool.
"So, I only have two choices."
Bai Mu calculated in his mind.
"Either I risk picking them all, eat as much as I can, and if I can't eat them, I'll throw them into the Soul Tool. I'd rather destroy them than leave them for others.
Or I conceal my tracks, don't take too much randomly, only take what I need, and come back when my strength is sufficient later."
Bai Mu leaned towards the latter.
Dugu Bo, that guy, was unappreciative anyway, and Tang San hadn't arrived yet.
Leaving these Immortal Herbs in their Original Place was actually the safest. When he had the chance in the future, he would come back to get them.
After figuring it out, Bai Mu commanded:
"Xiao Ruan, you will be invisible the entire time. Activate Safeguard and go into the Valley. I will command from outside."
He wasn't planning to enter the Poison Array himself.
What if Dugu Bo had a screw loose and returned early, and he got Trapped Inside? That would be completely over.
At that time, even if he claimed he could help Dugu Bo detoxify, given the Poison Douluo's suspicious and Quirky Personality, he would most likely Kill to Silence him.
Even if they spared his life, after healing him, there was a chance he would still be killed to silence him.
"Leave it to me!"
Zygarde responded confidently. With a single activation of Safeguard, it erected a peculiar barrier and swaggered into the poisonous mist.
Safeguard could protect the user from entering abnormal states. Upon entering the Poison Array, the surrounding poisonous mist was immediately isolated outside by the barrier.
Passing through the Poison Array, the scene before them caused both Zygarde and Bai Mu, who shared vision through Telepathy, to pause slightly.
A mountain hollow, shrouded in mist. In the center lay a peculiar spring eye, half crimson like lava with rising steam, and half deep blue like ice with condensing cold air.
Around the spring eye grew all sorts of exotic flowers and herbs.
Some burned like flames, some were carved like ice crystals, some emitted a faint glow, some released strange fragrances...
Although he had never seen an immortal herb before, he could still recognize most of them.
"The two closest to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well are the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the Infernal Delicate Apricot. The yellow chrysanthemum is the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, and the one shaped like a cockscomb with fire attributes is the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower..."
There were also the Eight-Petaled Immortal Orchid, Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew, Aromatic Silk Beauty, Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower...
"So many immortal herbs... Which one should I choose?"
For the first time since his transmigration, seeing so many Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures growing before him, ripe for the picking, Bai Mu's hands trembled with excitement.
"Hoo~"
He immediately took a deep breath to calm himself, carefully analyzing the pros and cons of the immortal herbs and his own situation.
The Infernal Delicate Apricot and Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, which contained potent toxins and required Ice and Fire Body Tempering, were immediately ruled out. He had neither the time nor the courage to undertake such high-risk tempering for no reason.
Aromatic Silk Beauty could restrain all poisons, but consuming it would be useless. Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower was fire attribute, which was an Attribute Mismatch for him...
"There are two that are most suitable for me currently: the Eight-Petaled Immortal Orchid, which has Mild Medicinal Properties for consolidating foundation and cultivating origin, and can remove impurities; and the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, which can energize limbs and unblock eight meridians, helping the user forge the Indestructible Vajra Body!"
"Remove impurities... Indestructible Vajra Body..."
Bai Mu found himself momentarily indecisive.
The former needed no further explanation; eating it would definitely not go wrong.
The latter, though somewhat exaggerated, could indeed significantly improve Physical Quality, making him stronger and fiercer!
Although the benefits would be far less pronounced when used on Bai Mu compared to the original Dai Mubai, with improved Physical Quality, if he could also obtain some Whale Rubber, he might be able to attempt absorbing a Thousand-Year Spirit Ring for his Second Spirit Ring.
Even if the Spirit Ring Age wasn't that important to him, having a higher one was always better.
What's more...
"Purple Spirit Rings have more Charm than yellow hundred-year ones."
Bai Mu's lips curved into a slight smile.
Would possessing a thousand-year Second Spirit Ring attract covetous gazes?
He wasn't too worried about that.
After all, many lice do not fear itching.
What's more, both he and Zygarde could use Invisibility, so they could naturally make the Spirit Ring invisible on its own!
"I'll choose the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum!"
Bai Mu made up his mind, then used Telepathy to send a message--
"Xiao Ruan, Xiao Ruan, you are already a Mature martial soul, you should learn to choose suitable Immortal Herbs yourself."
"I have already chosen!"
Zygarde: (`_´)ゞ
