"Little Chen, it doesn't seem safe here."
Bibi Dong's reaction was one of grave solemnity.
She did not recognize the immortal herbs, but she could sense that this place was extremely dangerous.
The closer they got to the spring, the more obvious the feeling became.
"Teacher, as long as we don't get too close to the spring, we will be fine."
"Besides, in the entire Sunset Forest, this is the safest place."
"The Immortal Herb Illustrated Record has records of it!"
"Look at that large chrysanthemum; doesn't it look a bit like Elder Chrysanthemum's Martial Soul?"
"Teacher, it is also called the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum. Consuming it can forge a body of indestructible diamond. This one, this one... and this one..."
Su Chen gave a rough introduction to the immortal herbs, and Bibi Dong's expression shifted repeatedly.
Seeing how serious Su Chen was, she believed him seven or eight parts out of ten.
"Let me see that book."
"Here!"
Seeing Bibi Dong reach out her hand, Su Chen took out the Immortal Herb Illustrated Record and handed it over.
In this situation, there was no need to hide it, nor could he hide it.
Even if Qian Xunji found out later and perhaps even tried to confiscate the immortal herbs, Su Chen would not care too much.
He only needed to consume the necessary immortal herbs first, making it impossible for anyone to dig them out of his stomach.
"Teacher, I am going to harvest them."
Su Chen saw Bibi Dong reading the book on the spot.
He did not wait for her, but instead took out the tools he had prepared in advance and began to harvest them one by one.
Su Chen did not let a single one go; whether they were immortal herbs or those that had not yet reached that level, he stuffed them all into his Soul Tool.
It was impossible for him to leave them for Tang San.
When it came to the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the Infernal Delicate Apricot, Su Chen prepared to consume them now.
These two could not be taken away.
They withered very quickly after being picked.
Furthermore, the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the Infernal Delicate Apricot needed to be consumed together; a single one was a deadly poison, something even a Titled Douluo could not withstand.
Su Chen remembered that the two had three effects: one could gain immunity to all poisons and a body immune to ice and fire, and it would also strengthen the physique to a degree even exceeding that of Shark Glue.
Su Chen could completely increase the age limit of his second Soul Ring appropriately.
"Teacher, I am preparing to absorb the immortal herbs."
"The Immortal Herb Illustrated Record says they need to be absorbed in conjunction with the spring water."
"So I might have to go down for a swim. Teacher? Teacher, are you listening?"
Su Chen looked back at Bibi Dong, who was circling the Xiangsi and examining it, constantly comparing it with the Immortal Herb Illustrated Record he had just handed her.
Su Chen was speechless; at this moment, Bibi Dong seemed to yearn for love.
Well, that was natural.
After all, she had reached that age.
She had needs.
Su Chen stopped paying attention to her.
"Hongdou, Xiangsi!"
Hum!
A cold wind blew, and yin evil energy rapidly gathered in the vicinity.
Ghost Bride.
Purple-Robed Celestial Master Ghost.
The two great ghost concubines appeared simultaneously.
Su Chen took metal and jade implements out of his Soul Tool.
He handed them to Hongdou and Xiangsi respectively, letting them help him with the harvesting.
After all, he did not possess the Mysterious Jade Hand.
Getting too close to the spring or touching the immortal herbs would cause him injury.
Hongdou and Xiangsi gripped the implements and drifted toward the immortal herbs.
Ghost Bride Xiangsi used a metal blade to cut the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass.
The immortal herb was in hand.
A layer of frost rapidly coated Xiangsi's hand, only to dissipate a moment later.
The Ghost Bride was also of the Extreme Yin constitution, possessing a power that belonged to the same category as the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass.
Purple-Robed Celestial Master Ghost did not take action herself; she merely flicked out a talisman.
Her first Soul Ring lit up immediately. After the talisman burned, the ashes gathered together, gradually forming a human silhouette.
Accompanied by a strange, ghostly laughter, A woman draped in a white robe with long hair obscuring her face appeared.
She was completely enveloped within, her exposed skeletal hands as white as snowflakes. She held a pipa made of bone, floating in mid-air with only a pair of red eyes visible. A baleful aura of Yin surrounded her, and from time to time, laughter echoed from all directions.
This was the first Soul Skill of Purple-Robed Celestial Master Ghost, capable of summoning Undead to assist in battle.
As for the quantity, Su Chen was not entirely sure.
Because this Soul Skill was determined by how many talismans Purple-Robed Celestial Master Ghost possessed.
The summoned Undead took the jade vessel from Purple-Robed Celestial Master Ghost's hand and drifted over to harvest the Infernal Delicate Apricot.
The Undead was clearly being attacked by the spring water; the moment she touched the immortal herb, her hands were dyed bright red. Yet, she seemed to feel no pain, drifting over rapidly. The instant she handed over the immortal herb, She tilted her head slightly, revealing a bright red mouth toward Su Chen. The corners of her lips curled up slightly, carrying a sinister yet satisfied smile, before she vanished.
Su Chen caught the immortal herb from the Ghost Bride's hand and immediately felt a surge of extreme heat and extreme cold.
Without hesitation, he shoved it directly into his mouth.
A cold and a hot sensation collided within his body, causing a dull, throbbing pain in his chest.
Feeling that the medicinal effect was sufficient, Su Chen gritted his teeth, tore off his clothes, and tossed his Soul Tool aside carelessly.
He then jumped into the spring water.
Purple-Robed Celestial Master Ghost and Ghost Bride dissolved into two clouds of red mist, drifting back into Su Chen's body.
The two forces within the spring water became even more pronounced, and Su Chen's expression was one of pure agony.
The two opposing forces rampaged through his body, and Su Chen could not help but groan in pain.
"Hm?"
"Where is my disciple?"
"Did he really jump in?"
Bibi Dong watched the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye bubbling, her beautiful eyebrows arching slightly.
She checked the Immortal Herb Illustrated Record again; the method was not wrong.
Bibi Dong did not know how long she had waited, reading the Immortal Herb Illustrated Record over and over again.
The method was correct, but it had taken far too long, and she was starting to lose her patience.
Soaking from dawn until dusk?
"Gurgle, gurgle!"
Just then, ripples appeared on the surface of the spring water.
Su Chen surfaced.
When he leaped out of the spring water, His face was filled with joy.
"Little Chen!"
A visible sense of relief washed over Bibi Dong's face.
She stepped forward and looked him over from left to right.
Fortunately, he was uninjured.
He even looked stronger and bigger.
"Teacher, I have successfully absorbed the immortal herbs."
"You should be mindful of propriety."
Su Chen's cheeks flushed slightly as he picked up his gear and put it on.
"You're just a little brat, what could you possibly do?"
Seeing his shy appearance, Bibi Dong couldn't help but let the corners of her mouth curl into a small arc.
"I..."
Su Chen was speechless.
He felt that driving a big cart would be no problem at all.
"Looking at you, it seems you've gained quite a lot."
Bibi Dong put away her smile and turned to business.
"Teacher, I won't hide it from you; I've gained immunity to ice and fire as well as all poisons. I even feel that with my current physique alone, I could crush a one-ring Spirit Master."
"I'd still have enough energy left over to plow a few more acres of land afterward."
Su Chen looked confident; the effects of the Immortal Herb were far better than he had imagined.
"Uh."
Bibi Dong found it somewhat amusing; this disciple certainly knew how to talk.
"Teacher, let's leave. As for that Lovesick Heartbreak Red, would you like to try it, Teacher?"
Su Chen suddenly looked at Bibi Dong with a smirk.
Thinking of the love associated with the Lovesick Heartbreak Red, Bibi Dong's cheeks flushed slightly.
She felt a sense of longing, and perhaps a bit of envy.
But...
"Are you trying to tease your teacher?"
"Who would I even test it with?"
Bibi Dong suddenly reached out and gave his head a light tap.
