Harvesting Immortal Herbs

In a certain part of the Sunset Forest, a layer of dense, poisonous mist permeated the surroundings! This made the area almost completely devoid of people and beasts. Yet, surprisingly, all manner of strange and varied plants grew with extraordinary lushness!

Seeing this, Tang Hao's mood instantly surged with excitement!

"It's real! It's really real! Hahaha!" Tang Hao looked up and laughed toward the heavens, tears streaming down his cheeks once more. Today was undoubtedly the day he had cried the most in his life.

One must know that the renowned Clear Sky Douluo possessed an incredibly firm character; he had practiced diligently since childhood, and no matter how much bitterness, hardship, or danger he faced, he had never yielded. However, the matter of emotions was truly immeasurable for any person; even a man of iron had a soft spot in his heart.

Su Yun Tao said calmly, "Your Excellency, I believe you have already noticed that the plant growth here is highly abnormal. This is merely the outermost edge of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye. If you plant your wife in the very core area, she will be able to reunite with you!"

Leveraging his advantage of knowing the plot, Su Yun Tao dispelled all of Tang Hao's doubts. When Tang Hao finally asked how he knew Ah Yin still retained a glimmer of life, he simply replied: "Wildfires cannot burn it out; the spring breeze brings it back to life!" This final statement delivered the killing blow to his skepticism.

Tang Hao was so moved he could not speak. His soul power, over level ninety, surged out instantly, forming a barrier that enveloped the two of them.

As the two walked slowly forward, the scenery before their eyes became increasingly brilliant and colorful, with countless strange flowers and grasses appearing in their sight.

On the outermost perimeter, there were some of the most common flowers and grasses. Although these were ordinary, the miraculous thing was that they grew exceptionally well, with their sheer size being several times that of the same species in the outside world!

When the two finally entered the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye, the eyes of both Tang Hao and Su Yun Tao began to glaze over with confusion, for they had stepped into a sea of flowers. Even with Tang Hao's vast experience, he felt a deep sense of shock within this floral sea!

As they walked further in, a hot spring appeared before them. The spring was not large, only about five meters in diameter, but the energy fluctuations it emitted left Tang Hao deeply shocked.

At a single glance, Tang Hao saw that this strange spring was red on one side, emitting rolling heat, while the other side was blue, emitting waves of cold air.

The red and blue blended to form a pattern similar to a Taiji diagram. In the core of the red spring water sat a blue spring eye, and likewise, in the blue spring water sat a red spring eye.

Although he had fantasized about it countless times, when he truly stood in its presence, Su Yun Tao was still stunned by the wonder and magnificence of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye. He could not help but blurt out:

"Taiyin and Taiyang, who is weak and who is strong!"

"Yin and Yang in harmony, the world calls them sovereign!"

Tang Hao's breathing suddenly became rapid. He carefully chewed on the meaning of the verse, his eyes showing immense shock. This young man of low strength before him was displaying extraordinary qualities time and time again.

"Young Friend Su, is this what you called the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye?" Tang Hao asked.

Su Yun Tao nodded and said, "That's right. This is one of the Three Great Treasure Basins of the Human World, the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye. The reason the flowers and grasses around here are so incredibly lush is precisely because of its existence."

"Around the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye, the growth rate of plants increases a thousandfold. As long as you plant your wife in its core area, I believe she will certainly be able to see you again."

"The Three Great Treasure Basins of the Human World?" The gravity in Tang Hao's eyes deepened, but he soon relaxed. For him now, everything else was meaningless; he only wanted to do one thing: protect his beloved and ensure her successful resurrection!

"Young friend, great kindness needs no thanks! Tang owes you a massive favor! If you have any requests in the future, Tang will surely do everything in his power!"

Su Yun Tao waved his hand and said, "Your Excellency Clear Sky, there is no need for such formalities. You and I are simply taking what we need; you need this treasure land, and I need the things growing upon it."

Before his voice had even faded, Su Yun Tao began to carefully examine the batch of flowers and grasses closest to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye.

In the core area closest to the spring, only a dozen or so flowers and grasses of various shapes grew. Su Yun Tao knew very well that this batch had reached the level of Immortal Herbs, and any one of them possessed earth-shattering medicinal effects.

"Tomorrow Sacred Heart Flower, Aromatic Maple Orchid, Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, Infernal Delicate Apricot, Cockscomb Phoenix Tail Sunflower, Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid, Lovesick Heartbreak Red, Ice Crystal Jade Muscle Bone, Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone, Aromatic Tulip, Aromatic Silk Beauty, Snowy Swan Kiss..."

Su Yun Tao's eyes were filled with fervor; he knew what these Immortal Herbs meant for him!

Immortal Herbs could cleanse the marrow and wash the bones, strengthen the physique, and improve a person's bodily meridians. The poorer a person's constitution and the more fragile their meridians, the better the effect of the Immortal Herbs.

In the original work, after the Shrek Seven Devils consumed the Immortal Herbs, their cultivation speeds reached a level akin to cheating. If the herbs had such an effect on people with their talent, the effect on Su Yun Tao could be imagined!

"Your Excellency Clear Sky, please give me a storage Soul Tool, preferably one that can store living things."

Tang Hao did not say much; he directly produced his own storage Soul Tool and took out something resembling a ring, handing it to Su Yun Tao. For a Soul Master of Su Yun Tao's level, a storage Soul Tool was naturally something to be yearned for but never attained, but for a Title Douluo like Tang Hao, it was no problem at all.

Su Yun Tao carefully examined the storage Soul Tool and found it was only the size of a ring. After injecting soul power into it, his gaze went blank.

"This was the personal Soul Tool of an elder from Martial Soul Hall back in the day. Six years ago, when I fought Qian Xunji, he was the Martial Soul Hall elder who died at my hands!"

Su Yun Tao nodded silently, then tossed aside the low-quality gold and silver utensils he had scraped together and kept on his person.

This storage Soul Tool contained the lifelong wealth of a Title Douluo!

Su Yun Tao directly took out some high-quality gold and silver utensils from it; any single one of these items far exceeded Su Yun Tao's current net worth.

The methods for harvesting the Immortal Herbs varied; some could be picked directly, some required jade tools, and others, like the highly toxic Snowy Swan Kiss, meant instant death upon contact! One had to pick the poison-immune Aromatic Silk Beauty first to ensure safety. As for the fickle Lovesick Heartbreak Red, Su Yun Tao simply took out a golden shovel and packed it away, flower and soil together.

Just like that, in less than a quarter of an hour, aside from a few immature herbs, the Immortal Herbs that had grown in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye for countless years were swept clean by Su Yun Tao.

Having finished sweeping up the Immortal Herbs, Su Yun Tao was not yet satisfied; he plucked dozens of top-grade spiritual herbs before finally stopping.
