The Infernal Delicate Apricot was pinned to the ground by metal cables, its voice filled with fury.
"This is our territory! You have no right to pick any of the herbs here!"
Xu Tianyao raised his foot and stepped on a vine that was still writhing.
"Territory? Everything on this land will belong to the Sun Moon Empire, the Xu Family, and this king in the future. Besides, you attacked first. Since you lost, stay quiet."
The Infernal Delicate Apricot wanted to speak again, but the Ice Empress's tail hook was already pressed before its pistil.
Emerald venom flowed along the tail hook, choking off every word it had left.
Xu Tianyao had no interest in arguing with these immortal herbs over ownership.
The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well had been sealed off for ten thousand years. The sheer number of herbs within it was astonishing. They had relied on this place to grow to the hundred-thousand-year level, yet regarded the entire valley as their private property.
Now that they had found it, they would naturally take away everything of greatest value.
Kong Deming controlled his Soul Tools, binding the several immortal herbs that had developed intelligence. Even their ability to draw upon the elemental energy of heaven and earth was sealed away.

However, as their inspection continued, the real problem emerged.
There were simply too many herbs here. Xu Tianyao could recognize distinctive ones like the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, Infernal Delicate Apricot, and Aromatic Silk Beauty, but he could not name the vast majority of the remaining plants.
Kong Deming was proficient in Soul Tools, but he was not skilled in herbal knowledge.
The Snow Maiden had lived in the Far North all year round
