Youyou: The Wise Know When to Yield

BOOM--!

With a thunderous explosion, the Coiling Dragon Staff suddenly erupted with the power of ice and snow, slamming into the toxic clouds released by the Jade Phosphor Seven Absolute Flower.

The toxic clouds had always feared the power of extreme cold, let alone the elemental control of a Silver Dragon; they had no capacity to resist and dissipated instantly.

The seven-colored toxic clouds, which had been incomparably rampant and had devoured many powerful soul masters in the past, were scattered.

But soon, these toxic clouds seemed to possess intelligence, gathering together once more, intent on fighting the Dragon Subduing Douluo to the death.

Having dominated the continent for so many years, the thousands of Jade Phosphor Seven Absolute Flower toxic clouds had never suffered such a loss, and they were determined to settle the score.

The Dragon Subduing Douluo frowned.

They truly possess intelligence!

Just as he prepared to launch another attack to properly discipline the toxic clouds, Ye Que stopped him, saying, "Let me handle this."

The Dragon Subduing Douluo silently released ice elements to shield the Young Master and retreated behind him.

At this moment, those reconverged seven-colored toxic clouds were preparing to launch their second attack.

Ye Que shouted, "If you really want to perish together, not a single one of your Seven Absolute Flowers here will survive. Don't say I didn't give you a chance; take one more step forward, and I will chop these flowers to pieces later."

As soon as these words were spoken, the incoming toxic clouds paused, seemingly hesitant.

"The Young Master is truly clever, actually knowing they are plant-type soul beasts."

Peeking out from behind the two big shots, Yu Mengdi's beautiful eyes were filled with admiration.

Guangyu Douluo and the Dragon Subduing Douluo silently gave a thumbs up.

Well said!

Ye Que continued, "Opportunities are meant for those who are fated to find them; is this perhaps someone's private backyard? If you do not move aside, all of you Jade Phosphor Seven Absolute Flowers will be destroyed here."

With a whoosh, the view ahead suddenly opened up; thousands of Jade Phosphor Seven Absolute Flowers parted to form a small path, signaling that Ye Que could enter.

They were all intelligent plant-type soul beasts, nourished by the spiritual energy of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, and they did not want to die so young.

Ye Que smiled slightly and said, "Done, let's go!"

Guangyu Douluo and the Dragon Subduing Douluo were astonished.

It actually worked!

The group immediately stepped forward, entering the path that had been specially cleared for them.

As they walked, Guangyu and the others looked around, truly shocked by the environment.

There was a massive expanse of the highly toxic plant-type Jade Phosphor Seven Absolute Flowers here.

Even if a Titled Douluo came, they would have to leave their life here today.

Faced with so many Jade Phosphor Seven Absolute Flowers, even the Dragon Subduing Douluo felt a hint of fear.

"We are truly lucky this time!"

Guangyu Douluo exclaimed.

No, this is strength. After all, in the eyes of plant-type soul beasts, the value of human life is inferior to that of soul beasts... Ye Que urged, "Stop talking, hurry up. If those flowers change their minds later, Elder Guangyu should prepare to become fertilizer."

Guangyu Douluo chuckled and quickened his pace.

After a full half-hour, Ye Que's group finally arrived at one of the legendary three great treasure basins—the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

This was a world of ice and fire, where countless plants grew perfectly; not only was their growth speed incredibly fast, but they also possessed intelligence.

As soon as Ye Que and the others entered, they sensed the warning auras emitted by many plant-type soul beasts.

"Holy crap, they're all immortal herbs! This, this, this..."

Guangyu Douluo's eyes turned red, shocked by the scene before him.

Having lived for over two hundred years, this was his first time seeing the legendary habitat of immortal herbs; it was simply insane.

Beside him, although the Dragon Subduing Douluo didn't speak, the look of longing in his eyes could not be hidden.

The opportunity to break through to the Limit Douluo realm was right here.

"Humans, hello there!"

Just then, a large pink flower in front suddenly moved, transforming into a delicate and beautiful woman.

She had long purple hair and wore a cheongsam, exuding a pure, oriental beauty.

The sudden movement startled the group, and they almost reflexively attacked the flower.

Ye Que was not overly shocked, having already guessed that this was one of the two plant-type immortal herbs capable of taking human form—the Aromatic Silk Beauty.

"It is actually a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast."

The knowledgeable Dragon Subduing Douluo narrowed his eyes, recognizing Youyou's origin.

Youyou sized them up, her gaze shifting to Ye Que as she said, "You are here for the immortal herbs, aren't you? Do as you please. If you are willing to speak with me for a while, I don't mind giving you a few pointers to prevent you from eating a poisonous herb and dropping dead on the spot!"

"Shouldn't you be stopping us?" Ye Que asked, puzzled.

He had intended to seize them by force, as the immortal herbs here were not known for being easy to talk to.

Youyou waved her hand, took a book out of her pocket, and said earnestly, "According to the descriptions in storybooks, human Soul Masters are extremely unreasonable and, just like us Soul Beasts, prioritize strength above all else. Since I am no match for you, I have no choice but to let you in."

"Although that person told us to protect this place well, when I encounter unreasonable people like you, there is nothing I can do. I can't just throw my life away, so just take the immortal herbs you want and leave."

"However, if this handsome young man is willing to chat with big sister, I can help you find suitable immortal herbs based on your Martial Souls."

Ye Que breathed a sigh of relief and laughed, "That is truly wonderful; you are indeed a sensible immortal herb."

Youyou lifted her chin and said, "There is an old saying: those who understand the times are wise."

Hearing this, the group could not help but chuckle.

This was truly an immortal herb that loved to read.

Afterward, Ye Que instructed Dragon Subduing Douluo and the others to pick the required immortal herbs, while he sat down to chat with Youyou, intending to sweet-talk her.

Dragon Subduing Douluo and the others followed Ye Que's instructions and began searching for the required immortal herbs.

Although the immortal herbs here were unhappy, they did not show any strong emotions, as if they had long since broken free from Tang San's control.

After about half an hour, all the required immortal herbs had been gathered.

Ye Que took out the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng and said to Dragon Subduing Douluo, "This herb is naturally of the eighth grade and is the best immortal herb for you to condense your second Soul Core. Combined with the Ten-Thousand-Year Ginseng King, breaking through your limits will not be difficult."

"Many thanks, Young Master."

Dragon Subduing Douluo took the immortal herb and turned to go into seclusion, using the spiritual energy of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well to condense his second Soul Core and break through to the Limit Douluo realm.

Subsequently, Ye Que looked at Guangyu Douluo and said, "Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower, a highly nourishing pure-yang immortal herb. It possesses the effect of shedding one's mortal body and exchanging one's bones, enhancing fire-attribute Martial Souls and purging impurities from the bloodline. Since you happen to have a fire-attribute Martial Soul, you might even undergo a transformation."

Guangyu Douluo cradled the immortal herb and walked away, beaming with joy.

"Young Master, Young Master, what about me!"

Yu Mengdi watched as the two seniors received suitable immortal herbs, and she could not help but be curious about what immortal herb the Young Master had prepared for her.

If she could get rid of her evolution-stunted condition, that would be for the best.

Ye Que raised his hand and presented two immortal herbs to Yu Mengdi, instructing, "Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone and Aromatic Silk Beauty. For the former, eat only the petals; the latter can sublimate your Martial Soul. It will help improve your Martial Soul's aptitude, and perhaps you can shed your evolution-stunted condition and become a true Six-Winged Angel Soul Master."

Yu Mengdi's pupils constricted, and she asked in disbelief, "Re... really? Can these immortal herbs truly help me overcome my evolution-stunted condition? I want to get rid of this evolution problem so badly."

"If I become a Six-Winged Angel Soul Master, the Young Master won't have to worry all day long. If we are ever hunted by Evil Soul Masters, I will definitely die before the Young Master."
