Hearing Immortal Herb's words, Lin Ciyan's heart moved slightly. He felt that these two hundred thousand-year-old Immortal Herb plants with completely different personalities seemed to have some... different expectations for themselves?

"This is for you." As soon as Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass's thoughts came to his mind, Lin Ciyan felt that Storage Soul Tool (who was used to using the system space, but pretended to be one) swayed slightly and there was something extra.

It was a thin piece about the size of a fingernail, completely icy blue and shaped like a leaf sheath made of multiple layers of ice crystals. Its tentacles were bone-chillingly cold, yet it carried a strange, endless vitality.

What is sealed within it is a ray of extremely pure extreme cold origin. Although it is weak, it is of extremely high quality.

"This is a Origin Leaf Sheath that I took off when I was born. It contains a trace of Innate Cold Soul. It may be of some help to you in understanding the extreme cold changes of water."

"It can also be stimulated to instantly release a cold wave that is comparable to a full-strength blow from the ordinary 50,000-year-old ice attribute Soul Beast. It can be regarded as a protective object." Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass explained.

"Me too!" Infernal Delicate Apricot was not to be outdone.

Lin Ciyan There was another heavy weight in the storage space, and there was another thin piece of the same size, red as fire jade, and shaped like a curled flame blade.

The thin slice is warm to the touch, as if there is magma flowing inside, containing the violent and pure fiery origin.

"This is my Primordial Fire Leaf Sheath. It has similar effects. It can help you feel the blazing fire, and it can also explode! It's powerful... I guarantee it's strong enough!" Infernal Delicate Apricot's thoughts were a bit showy.

Lin Ciyan was surprised. These two things may seem small, but they are of great significance.

This is not only a precious training aid and a one-time killer weapon, but also represents a certain degree of "investment" and "recognition" of these two Zieao Immortal Herb.

"No merit, no reward, what do you need me to do?" Lin Ciyan asked calmly.

There is no free lunch in the world, especially for intelligent beings who have lived for a hundred thousand years and have seen the tricks of gods.

The thoughts of Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Infernal Delicate Apricot were silent for a moment, as if they were organizing words, but it seemed a little difficult to speak.

Finally, the cold voice of Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass came, with a very faint, almost imperceptible yearning. "If... if you really have that ability in the future, and the time is right... can you... let us take a look at the outside world?"

"There is no need to take us away, just... let us feel the real and free atmosphere of heaven and earth, rather than the planned 'medicine garden' scenery."

Infernal Delicate Apricot's thoughts are more direct, with suppressed anger. "I have been holding it here for too long! No matter how strong the aura is, it is still a prison! That guy's rules are everywhere, and even our preference for absorbing energy is being guided invisibly!"

"We want to know what it feels like to have no set seasons, no limited energy concentration, real wind, rain, thunder and lightning, Sun Moon rotation!"

Their demands are simple, yet extremely heavy.

For creatures who have been "in captivity" for a long time, "taking a look outside" has become a luxury.

Lin Ciyan was silent for a few breaths. This request was more difficult than imagined.

This is not just a fight against the poison array, but may also involve a fight against the fundamental rules and will of Tang San to stay here.

But looking at the two Ice and Fire Leaf Sheath lying quietly in his mental perception, and feeling the pure and weak expectation coming from them, he made a decision in his heart.

"I've written it down." Lin Ciyan's thoughts were firm and clear, "If I have the opportunity and the ability is enough, I will try my best. I can't guarantee success, but I will keep it in mind."

"Okay! It's satisfying enough!" Infernal Delicate Apricot's thoughts conveyed a hint of satisfaction.

"Waiting for good news." Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass is still cold, but there seems to be a little more warmth in the coldness.

The two thoughts quietly receded, as if they had never appeared.

Lin Ciyan took a deep breath and properly marked and stored these two "private goods" in the system space.

At this moment, Aromatic Silk Beauty's gentle but serious public thoughts once again enveloped the two people who were about to leave.

"Humans, the transaction is over, and you will go on your own." Fragrant Silk Luo's voice sounded, "There is only one thing that you need to know. The poisonous formation here is not just for protection and confinement."

"Everyone who enters the formation will have their aura, Soul Power characteristics, and even some of their behavioral trajectories quietly recorded by the origin of the formation, and remain in a certain... level of rules that is difficult for us to touch."

"This is set up by the builder, either for supervision or for other purposes. You two can take care of it yourself."

Sure enough!

Lin Ciyan's eyes flashed. Fragrant Silk Luo's reminder confirmed his guess.

This poison array is not only a physical barrier, but also a huge "monitoring probe"!

"Thank you, senior, for reminding me." Lin Ciyan responded loudly, his tone was calm, but he was already thinking about it.

He did not act immediately. Instead, he and Zhang Lexuan moved forward for more than a hundred meters, completely entering the area where the Colorful Poison Miasma was the most intense and the energy flow was the most active.

This is undoubtedly the place with the strictest "monitoring" and the clearest records.

"Sister Grandmaster, wait a moment." Lin Ciyan suddenly stopped and winked at Zhang Lexuan.

Zhang Lexuan understood and silently increased his vigilance to the surroundings. At the same time, he Soul Power restrained himself and tried to reduce the leakage of his breath as much as possible.

Lin Ciyan closed his eyes slightly, Holy Radiance Qilin Martial Soul roared silently in his body, and the shadow of Five Elements Rotation reappeared.

This time, he did not mobilize too many Soul Power, but concentrated his mental power highly to activate the fourth Soul Ring - the 90,000-year-old Soul Ring that showed deep and colorful black.

"Fourth Soul Skill, Five Elements Rotation·Qilin Divine Light!"

He shouted in his heart, but he did not let the divine light spread out to increase it, but instead used the energy characteristics of that ray of "Seven-Colored Divine Light".

In particular, its essence of "energy penetration and attribute penetration", in an extremely subtle way, is mixed with a hint of the understanding of the Yin and Yang balance of Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well that he has just gained, and is quietly injected into the ground under his feet and the surrounding poisonous miasma energy flow.

Seven-Colored Divine Light already has extremely strong penetration and interference characteristics, coupled with the "neutralization" and "confusion" effects of the balanced artistic conception of ice and fire, it is now being used as a tool for "information pollution" by Lin Ciyan.

I saw that with him as the center, the colors of the seven-color poisonous miasma within a radius of ten meters showed extremely brief and subtle disorders. The red and white colors were slightly unbalanced, and other colors also showed unnatural fluctuations.

There was a faint flicker of light on the ground, as if the "notches" recording energy were gently "smeared" by some soft but firm force.

Although it could not be completely removed, it succeeded in removing the clearest and most recognizable part-

For example, the unique Holy Radiance Qilin Soul Power characteristics of Lin Ciyan, and the aftertaste of Soul Power that has not yet been fully stabilized after Zhang Lexuan broke through, have been blurred and confused.

The whole process only lasted less than three breaths. Lin Ciyan's face paled slightly for a moment, then quickly recovered.

This kind of interference down to the energy information level requires extremely high mental power and Soul Power control, and consumes a lot of money.

"Okay, let's go." Lin Ciyan took a breath and nodded to Zhang Lexuan.

Although it cannot completely erase the traces of their presence, it can at least increase the difficulty of identification when "Gardener" reviews the "surveillance video" afterwards, especially the key information about the details of their strength and some of their behaviors.

Although Zhang Lexuan doesn't know the specific principle, he can feel the subtle changes in the surrounding energy and the instantaneous consumption of Lin Ciyan.

A trace of understanding and concern flashed in her eyes, but she didn't ask any more questions. She just nodded lightly and the two of them quickly walked towards the perimeter.

After passing through the thickest poisonous miasma zone, the surrounding colorful mist began to fade significantly, and the twisted and weird poisonous plants were gradually replaced by ordinary, only slightly eerie forest vegetation.

The familiar breath of Sunset Forest hits your face. Although it is not as spirited as Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, it is full of free wildness.

Both of them breathed a sigh of relief. Although this trip had its twists and turns, the harvest far exceeded expectations.

However, just before they were about to completely step out of the poisonous array's influence and return to the normal Sunset Forest area, Lin Ciyan's sharp eyes suddenly focused on an ancient tree not far ahead.

There, a low bush had obvious, fresh signs of breaking, and the juice at the break had not yet completely solidified.

On the soft soil next to it, there were several messy but definitely not animal footprints, with a little bit of wet mud on the edges of the footprints.

Further away, a few fallen leaves showed an unnatural black and curled shape, as if they had been swept by some kind of cold flame or energy aftermath.

These traces are all new, definitely no more than a day old!

Lin Ciyan and Zhang Lexuan looked at each other, and both saw wariness in each other's eyes.

Someone, when they entered Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, had been to the edge of this poisonous circle, and it was very possible that they... stayed or peeked!
