Immortal Herb

In the world of spirit beasts, there is no such thing as morality.

Once a powerful entity encroaches upon another's territory, failing to respond would only expose one's own weakness.

Therefore, spirit beasts that possess territory rarely enter the domains of others without cause.

Once they do, it is a signal that war has begun!

At this moment, the Evil Poison Cobra King had no intention of distinguishing right from wrong.

It poked its head out from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, and even across the vast distance, its gaze remained locked firmly onto the Earth King.

At the same time, much like Dugu Bo, the Evil Poison Cobra King understood the preciousness of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and did not want a battle of their caliber to wreak havoc on its treasure trove.

Thus, the Evil Poison Cobra King darted out at top speed, accompanied by a hiss, and charged toward the Earth King.

The Earth King was startled, its panic visible to the naked eye.

Without a second thought, the Earth King jumped on the spot. Despite its bulky, nearly thirty-meter-long body, it displayed astonishing agility, then scrambled its six legs and scurried away into the distance.

However, although the Earth King had left the Evil Poison Cobra King's territory, the Evil Poison Cobra King clearly did not intend to let this intruder off easily, so it gave chase.

But Wang Chuan knew very well that unless the Earth King was willing to fight to the death, this battle sparked by a reckless border crossing would not last long.

This was because, while the Earth King was slightly weaker than the Evil Poison Cobra King, it was not without the strength to put up a fight.

This was the reason Wang Chuan had chosen this eighty-thousand-year Earth King.

When the gap in strength is not significant, even ordinary beasts rarely fight to the death, let alone high-year spirit beasts with considerable intelligence.

This is the fundamental law of the world: the strong prey upon the weak.

As for why that Golden-Eyed Toad King had died there a few days ago, it was clearly because it had come to seize the territory, which is why it met its end.

Therefore, the moment the Evil Poison Cobra King passed him by, Wang Chuan did not dare waste a single second and rushed toward the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

As soon as he climbed the hill, Wang Chuan saw the unique blue and red lights reflecting off one another.

But at this moment, Wang Chuan had no heart to admire the beautiful scenery; he quickly arrived at the area closest to the center.

Because the closer one gets to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, the more powerful a plant-based bloodline is required to survive there.

So, even though Wang Chuan did not recognize the immortal herbs around him, he could be certain of their value.

Having finally found his target after half a month of hard work, Wang Chuan could not hide his excitement, and his breathing grew heavy.

Yet, his hands remained steady and precise.

In the blink of an eye, Wang Chuan shoveled the immortal herbs, along with their soil, from the ground and placed them into jade boxes.

Then, he stuffed them into his storage Soul Tool; the entire process was smooth and fluid, taking less than half a minute.

Afterward, Wang Chuan glanced at the wildly growing herbs around him, and the hoarding instinct etched deep into his soul was immediately activated.

"Since I'm already here~"

And so, when the Evil Poison Cobra King returned, it was instantly dumbfounded.

Because apart from the two immortal herbs closest to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well that Wang Chuan hadn't touched, the rest of the area looked as if it had been plowed.

All the herbs were gone, leaving behind only the soil that smelled of damp earth.

[F*ck! Where are all my little darlings! Ahhh!!!]

At this moment, the Evil Poison Cobra King, much like an incompetent Dugu Bo years later, could only roar helplessly within its treasure land!

As for why Wang Chuan hadn't taken the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the others?

Naturally, it was because his equipment couldn't hold them.

These two immortal herbs were anomalies that even Tang San's Mysterious Jade Hands couldn't withstand; ordinary jade boxes certainly couldn't contain them.

Since Wang Chuan didn't want to temper his body with ice and fire right now, he simply left them there.

In any case, Wang Chuan figured the Evil Poison Cobra King wasn't stupid; it wouldn't go around gnawing on these two extreme-attribute immortal herbs that were the natural nemesis of poison types.

So, Wang Chuan felt it made no difference whether he took them or not; he could always come back and repeat the process if he wanted them later.

However, Wang Chuan had a premonition.

The next time he came, he would no longer be a guest.

Afterward, Wang Chuan galloped all the way, leaving the Sunset Forest at top speed and arriving at an ordinary human city.

As for why Wang Chuan was in such a hurry, it was naturally because his storage Soul Tools were standard models and lacked the function to store living things.

Therefore, along the way, Wang Chuan had to take the immortal herbs out from time to time to let them breathe so they wouldn't suffocate.

The reason he was in such a rush and didn't absorb his desired immortal herb directly in Soul Hunting Town was that the density of Spirit Masters there was too high. Wang Chuan feared that the commotion caused by absorbing the immortal herb would be detected by those with ill intentions, thereby ruining his good fortune.

Upon arriving at this small city where the top-tier powerhouses were only a few Soul Ancestors, Wang Chuan finally relaxed.

After settling down, he took out one of the immortal herbs and placed it beside him to prevent them from suffocating further, and soon he picked a chrysanthemum-like flower from among the collection.

Immortal Herb, Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum.

There was only this one chrysanthemum in the entire Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, so it would have been impossible for Wang Chuan not to recognize it.

As for the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, its ability to circulate energy through the four limbs and eight meridians to forge an indestructible body was exactly what Wang Chuan craved most.

Without a second thought, Wang Chuan made a swift decision to absorb it first.

However, perhaps because Wang Chuan's physical body was too monstrous, after swallowing the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum in one gulp, he recovered from his meditative state in no time at all.

Wang Chuan looked down at his body, which showed no obvious changes, then clenched his fists tightly and muttered to himself.

"So this is an immortal herb? The effects are truly exaggerated. Although it didn't increase my strength by much, it makes me feel as if my body has undergone some fundamental change. My future physical cultivation should be much simpler now, and my meridians have been reinforced as well. And this spirit power..."

Wang Chuan took out the Spirit Power Crystal, and his spirit power instantly surpassed the 24th-level threshold, jumping straight to level 29, providing him with a full five levels of spirit power.

Wang Chuan was not surprised by this result.

After all, even though the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum offered the smallest boost to spirit power among the immortal herbs, his own cultivation base was low, so a jump of four or five levels was perfectly normal.

Wang Chuan then tried cultivating for a bit, and he immediately burst into laughter, exclaiming.

"Hahaha! So this is an immortal herb? Even the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, which has the least effect on spirit power, has caused such a massive change in my cultivation speed. It's more than double what it was before! This cultivation speed is almost comparable to Innate Full Soul Power! It truly deserves its reputation as an immortal herb that seizes the fortune of heaven and earth!"

However, Wang Chuan did not intend to stop refining immortal herbs there.

The reason Tang San gave about not being able to consume too many immortal herbs was a joke; he himself had consumed three.

But Wang Chuan did not plan to eat all of them either.

Since someone as greedy as Tang San had only consumed three immortal herbs with vastly different effects, that in itself spoke volumes.
