An oval pool lay before them, perfectly divided down the middle into two colors. One half was an icy spring as white as milk, while the other was a scorching spring as red as lava.

The two colors of spring water were not separated in a straight line, but connected head to tail in the shape of yin-yang fish, meeting at the center.

Above the pool, the steam of extreme heat and extreme cold collided. Half was icy mist condensed from cold air, while the other half was a rosy haze rising from the heat.

Even with Qian Daoliu's vast experience, he was greatly shocked by this wondrous sight.

Although Xiao Yao had known of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well in his previous life and had prepared himself, he was still somewhat dazzled when he saw the scene for the first time.

Xiao Yao quickly came back to his senses and looked around the pool, where many strange flowers and plants grew.

He compared them against Chrysanthemum Douluo's inherited Immortal Herb Catalog in his mind.

The Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum was an enormous purple chrysanthemum with golden pollen, its petals carrying a fluffy texture.

The Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower had a crest-shaped tip on its leaves, crimson-gold veins, and a powerful fire attribute.

The Aromatic Silk Beauty, Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid, Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone, and other Immortal Herbs were all among them.

Qian Daoliu looked at the unusually shaped flowers and plants around them and asked Xiao Yao, "Yao'er, this is the place your Golden Lion Mastiff martial soul wanted to find, isn't it? Those flowers and plants should be Immortal Herbs."

"According to Spirit Hall's records, consuming Immortal Herbs can greatly raise the strength of one's martial soul, as though one had been reborn. Some can even directly evolve a martial soul."

"However, Spirit Hall's records contain very little knowledge about Immortal Herbs. You learned about them from Yue Guan before, so you should know the effects and methods of use for most of the Immortal Herbs here, right?"

Xiao Yao smiled and said, "Grandpa Qian, yes. Chrysanthemum Douluo let me read his family's inherited Immortal Herb Catalog before, so I know most of the herbs here. You can call Grandpa Golden Crocodile, Grandpa Azure Luan, and my grandpa over."

"Let's divide up the Immortal Herbs first and let all of you grandpas improve your strength and potential!"

A warm current flashed through Qian Daoliu's heart as he listened to Xiao Yao. He had not expected Xiao Yao to show the slightest reluctance over such heavenly treasures and simply offer to share them. Such temperament and character were truly admirable.

What Qian Daoliu did not know was that Xiao Yao's true target was the entire Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well—the remains of the Water Dragon King and Ice Dragon King!

These few Immortal Herbs could be shared. The Grand Elders had sincerely treated him well, and he could not repay kindness with ingratitude and become an ungrateful wretch.

Besides, he could not consume so many Immortal Herbs by himself. Giving them to the Grand Elders would strengthen their foundations. If he became a god in the future, he could bring them into the God Realm to form his core group. After all, they were exceptional people, with top-tier talent, fortune, and comprehension.

Qian Daoliu shook his head and said, "Give the Immortal Herbs to Golden Crocodile, Azure Luan, and Xiong Shi. As for me, there is no need. These Immortal Herbs would do very little to improve my strength or potential."

After undergoing the God Trial, Qian Daoliu's strength had essentially reached its limit, and his potential had been exhausted. Immortal Herbs would be of little use to him, but they would be immensely useful to the others, so Qian Daoliu decided not to waste them.

After saying that, Qian Daoliu sent a signal into the air for Golden Crocodile, Azure Luan, and Xiong Shi to come over.

After waiting for a while, the three arrived at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. Seeing the wonder before them, they too were deeply astonished.

When Xiao Yao saw the Grand Elders arrive, he said, "Grandpa, Grandpa Golden Crocodile, Grandpa Azure Luan, this is the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, one of the three great treasure basins. The Immortal Herbs around the pool can transform a person and evolve the potential of their martial soul."

"I possess Chrysanthemum Douluo's inherited Immortal Herb Catalog, so I know the harvesting methods and effects of most of these Immortal Herbs. I will choose a suitable herb for each of you to further improve your potential and strength!"

Golden Crocodile, Azure Luan, and Xiong Shi were shaken to the core by Xiao Yao's words. Immortal Herbs could actually enhance the potential of their martial souls and grant them the possibility of advancing even further.

It was truly unbelievable. Only they themselves knew just how difficult it was to keep advancing after reaching their level.

The greatest obstacle was that the potential of their martial souls had already been developed to its individual limit. If that potential could not rise further,

then even if they trained until death, they would never be able to improve any further. Yet raising martial soul potential was unimaginably difficult.

Only acquiring a soul ring could raise a martial soul's potential by a little each time, but their martial souls were already extraordinarily powerful.

For a martial soul like the Golden Crocodile King, what kind of soul beast ring could improve the strength and potential of such a martial soul?

Only soul beasts with Golden Bloodlines or god-beast-level soul beasts could do so, but such soul beasts were incredibly difficult to find and exceedingly rare.

Even if they found one, they would still have to consider its age and whether they could defeat it. Soul beasts with Golden Bloodlines were all terrifying beings capable of fighting above their level.

Only a possessor of a God-Level Martial Soul like Xiao Yao, with Innate Soul Power at level twenty and strength several grades higher even than the Six-Winged Angel,

could make Grand Elder Qian Daoliu believe that, so long as he developed normally, he would definitely become a god.

That was why the continent's most powerful experts were willing to use the continent's greatest power and spare no effort to assist him.

Before he had even absorbed a soul ring, he had been able to begin gradually with soul beast meat from the hundreds-, thousands-, and tens-of-thousands-of-years levels, allowing his body to slowly adapt until he could consume two hundred and eighty thousand-year Whale Rubber.

For his first two soul rings, the continent's strongest expert, Qian Daoliu, along with three Super Douluos, had escorted him for months to find and hunt soul beasts with Golden Bloodlines.

For his third soul ring, the continent's foremost power had searched with all its strength for a top-tier soul beast, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.

Then there were meals beginning with thousand-year soul beast meat, the finest medicinal baths, the best educational resources, Super Douluos guarding him around the clock, and Qian Daoliu himself, at level ninety-nine, personally accompanying him whenever he left Spirit City.

What kind of treatment was this? How could they have received treatment like Yao'er's when they were young?

At most, they had a Title Douluo elder in their family who, upon seeing their excellent Innate Soul Power, decided to raise them as heirs. Only then would resources be directed toward them, and only then would a Title Douluo-level expert accompany them to hunt soul beasts.

But even that was nowhere near the treatment Xiao Yao received. The gap was simply far too great.

That was why they were so shocked upon hearing that Immortal Herbs could improve martial soul potential. More importantly, Yao'er was willing to share them outright. Even if Yao'er had told Qian Daoliu about them and kept them all for himself, Qian Daoliu would have agreed.

Yao'er's standing in Qian Daoliu's heart was simply too high, and Immortal Herbs were exceedingly precious. Using them to cultivate the next generation—or, rather, the next generation belonging to Yao'er—would have been an excellent choice. Yet Yao'er had directly asked Qian Daoliu to send a signal and intended to share the Immortal Herbs with them!

At that moment, they truly felt that everything they had done for Yao'er had not been in vain.

Xiao Yao looked at the expressions on Golden Crocodile's face, Azure Luan's face, and his grandfather's face, then smiled. "Come on, let's start with Grandpa. Grandpa, this Immortal Herb is especially suited for you."
