Distributing Immortal Herbs

Dugu Bo did not slow his pace along the way.

Fortunately, with the assistance of three Title Douluo, the group moved at great speed and arrived near the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well in the blink of an eye.

Hidden within the valley, clouds and mist swirled as if the place were cut off from the rest of the world.

As soon as the group stepped into the valley, they felt a unique aura.

It was like the stifling heat one feels when it rains during the height of summer.

Following behind Dugu Bo, they walked quickly forward and soon spotted a strange lake in the center of the valley.

The lake lay quietly in the heart of the valley, its water displaying two distinct and contrasting colors.

One half of the lake was as clear and translucent as ice, radiating a bone-chilling cold.

The other half resembled molten lava, steaming with a scorching, searing heat.

These two diametrically opposed forces intertwined without encroaching upon one another, strangely forming a delicate balance.

Cold air and heat mingled above the lake, creating a thin layer of mist that would occasionally condense into ice crystals or rise as water vapor.

The surrounding vegetation seemed to have been influenced by this peculiar environment, becoming quite extraordinary.

Plants near the Cold Pool were covered in a thin layer of frost on their leaves.

Meanwhile, plants near the scorching side radiated a fiery red hue, as if they might burst into flames at any moment.

Such a bizarre sight left everyone stunned into silence.

Among the group, only Dugu Bo and Ye Ruilin remained calm.

As the first person to discover the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, Dugu Bo was already intimately familiar with this place.

Ye Ruilin had the experience of his past life; although he had never seen it in person, he had some impression of it.

"What kind of place is this? How could it possess such a strange lake?"

Ning Rongrong stepped forward.

Standing at the boundary line in the center of the lake, she could clearly feel a peculiar aura—both the biting chill of ice and snow and the scorching heat of fire.

These two forces were intertwined right before her eyes.

"The unique environment here allows the plants to grow at a speed far exceeding that of the outside world."

"Do you see that Red Snow Spirit Mushroom by your feet? It has only grown for a few decades, yet it already possesses a century's worth of medicinal potency."

Dugu Bo walked up and introduced the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well as if he were discussing daily chores.

"The most critical point is that it not only accelerates the growth of plants far beyond the outside world, but it also induces mutations, giving birth to many rare immortal herbs and spiritual medicines."

Speaking of this, a fiery light shone in Dugu Bo's eyes.

For someone like him, who was well-versed in pharmacology, this place was nothing short of a paradise.

"What exactly do you need the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well for?"

Withdrawing his thoughts, Dugu Bo immediately looked at Ye Ruilin.

Looking at the rare immortal herbs growing around the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, a flash of heartache crossed his eyes.

It's fine, these medicinal herbs will eventually grow back one day.

As long as the power of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well remains, the immortal herbs and such are only temporary.

Dugu Bo comforted himself in his heart.

Ye Ruilin surveyed the rare immortal herbs growing around him and lifted his legs to walk toward the central area.

Since he had come here, he naturally wanted to find a suitable immortal herb for everyone.

"Frost-Flame Twin Flower, twin blossoms on one stem; one is like an ice crystal, the other like a flame. It contains both the power of extreme cold and extreme heat. Not bad."

"Ah, this Red Snow Spirit Mushroom is also good. Consuming it can significantly increase vitality, repair damaged meridians and soul power, and enhance perception."

With a glance, Ye Ruilin found several immortal herbs suitable for consumption.

His target was the lake itself, but before entering, he wanted Old Wu to complete his Martial Soul Evolution.

Thinking of Old Wu's Blazing Demon Dog.

Ye Ruilin slowly walked toward the fire-attribute zone.

Countless immortal herbs bloomed with their own charm, emitting a unique essence.

After just one look, Ye Ruilin's gaze was instantly drawn to a particular immortal herb.

"Sun-Swallowing Flame Heart Lotus!"

Ye Ruilin had not expected such an immortal herb to grow here.

The Sun-Swallowing Flame Heart Lotus grew in places of extreme heat; its lotus leaves were as red as fire, its petals layered, and at the heart of the flower lay a golden lotus seed as dazzling as the sun, radiating extreme heat.

This type of immortal herb possessed an extreme fire attribute containing the power of the sun, capable of tempering fire-attribute martial souls and causing them to undergo a qualitative leap.

If Old Wu's Blazing Demon Dog consumed such an immortal herb, his martial soul would likely undergo a very powerful evolution.

"Old Wu, this immortal herb is very suitable for your martial soul. After consuming it, it is very likely to trigger a martial soul evolution!"

Ye Ruilin immediately called Old Wu over.

Old Wu was not well-versed in pharmacology, so he merely stood at a distance, observing the immortal herbs.

Upon hearing his young master's words, he quickened his pace and walked over.

"Evolve my martial soul?"

Old Wu crouched down to observe the Sun-Swallowing Flame Heart Lotus before him, a hint of excitement flickering in his eyes.

Ever since he chose to follow his young master, Old Wu had never questioned a single word from Ye Ruilin.

Since the young master said this immortal herb could help him evolve his martial soul, then it would certainly be able to do so.

"Old Wu, go ahead and consume it right here; the environment is quite suitable."

Ye Ruilin spoke with a smile, urging Old Wu to consume it as soon as possible.

Old Wu, however, hesitated and glanced at Dugu Bo behind him.

"Young master, if I begin consumption, I will inevitably enter a state of seclusion and will be unable to look after your safety."

Old Wu was somewhat reluctant.

He could not risk exposing his young master to danger on his account.

He did not trust these two people from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

If any accident were to occur, it would be too late to say anything then.

"Rest assured, with Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo here, I won't encounter any accidents."

Ye Ruilin looked toward Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo, signaling for Old Wu to set his mind at ease.

Sword Douluo cast a glance at Old Wu's hesitant expression.

"Go ahead and consume it with peace of mind; with me here, no one would dare harm your young master."

Old Wu still trusted in Sword Douluo's strength.

His gaze flickered for a moment, and finally, under Ye Ruilin's urging, he agreed.

Old Wu walked toward the Sun-Swallowing Flame Heart Lotus, sat cross-legged by the lake, and carefully plucked the golden lotus seed.

The moment the seed touched his hand, a surge of scorching power instantly flooded into his body, as if a ball of fire were burning within his meridians.

This flame was incredibly intense, instantly causing fine beads of sweat to seep from Old Wu's forehead.

As soon as the lotus seed entered his mouth, it immediately transformed into a torrent of heat, sweeping through his entire body in the blink of an eye.

Old Wu felt as though his body had been set ablaze; every inch of his skin was burning, and every meridian was being tempered.

He closed his eyes tightly, channeling his soul power to its limit to guide that scorching energy as it circulated within him.

Until his body was gradually shrouded in a layer of crimson light.

Looking from afar, Old Wu was already enveloped by this red glow, making it impossible to see inside.

Ma Hongjun attempted to approach Old Wu.

But as soon as he got close, he felt the intense heat in the surrounding area.

The air around them seemed to be warped and distorted by this scorching power.

"This power is just too terrifying."

Ma Hongjun immediately retreated several steps in alarm, distancing himself from the area where Old Wu was located.

His own martial soul was a top-tier fire-attribute martial soul, yet even he could barely withstand that energy.

"This Sun-Swallowing Flame Heart Lotus is perfectly suited for Old Wu's martial soul. If all goes well, Old Wu's martial soul should be able to evolve into a top-tier fire-attribute martial soul."

Ye Ruilin spoke, looking forward to Old Wu's new martial soul.

"Boss, boss, see which one is suitable for me? Find one for me too."

Ma Hongjun immediately crowded up to Ye Ruilin's side.

"Brother Ye, I want one too."

Ning Rongrong, unwilling to be outdone, immediately pushed Ma Hongjun aside and hugged Ye Ruilin's arm.

Ma Hongjun rubbed his nose, feeling too embarrassed to compete with the young girl.

"Rest assured, you will both have one. I will find immortal herbs that suit your respective martial souls."

Ye Ruilin said with an amused smile.

He remembered that in the beginning, Tang San had given Ma Hongjun the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower.

The main purpose was to remove the Evil Fire within Ma Hongjun's martial soul to make it purer.

Although his soul power became purer and his combat effectiveness increased significantly after the evolution, that was not the best strategy.

Even though the Evil Fire affected Ma Hongjun's body, it was still a unique ability.

Removing it was the most inferior method.

Now, Ma Hongjun no longer needed to worry about the issue of the Evil Fire within his body at all.

Searching while considering his options, he soon found a suitable target.

Nirvana Fire Phoenix Flower, a fire-attribute immortal herb; its petals resembled a phoenix spreading its wings, containing immense fire-attribute energy.

"Ma Hongjun, this immortal herb is quite suitable for you."

"Consuming it will significantly increase your fire-attribute soul power, and at the same time, it will purify the soul power within your body, potentially making your Evil Fire even more overbearing."

Ye Ruilin plucked the Nirvana Fire Phoenix Flower and handed it to Ma Hongjun.

"Thanks, Boss!"

Ma Hongjun slid smoothly, his figure quickly gliding to Ye Ruilin's side before braking sharply.

He impatiently took the Nirvana Fire Phoenix Flower from Ye Ruilin's hand, holding it in his palm to examine it closely.

"This little thing actually looks pretty good."

The tiny flower resembled a miniature Phoenix soaring with wings spread, its petals trembling like phoenix feathers.

He was truly a sucker for appearances.

"The main thing is the effect; it is very suitable for your martial soul."

Ye Ruilin shot Ma Hongjun an annoyed look.

Ma Hongjun chuckled foolishly, looked around, and immediately found a spot to prepare for consumption.

The little girl pouted as she came to Ye Ruilin's side.

That mournful gaze gave Ye Ruilin goosebumps all over.

"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious, one by one."

"There are so many immortal herbs here, there will definitely be one suitable for you."

"I just happened to find one suitable for Ma Hongjun right now."

Ye Ruilin explained.

After the explanation, Ning Rongrong finally beamed with joy.

"I knew Brother Ye was the best to me, and that you just happened to run into one suitable for him."

She then let out a soft huff in Ma Hongjun's direction.

Ye Ruilin shook his head helplessly.
