Before long, a blue-gold streak of light flashed across the sky.
Relying on his absurdly fast flight speed, Lan Lingcang arrived above Sunset Forest without any trouble.
Although Sunset Forest was far less vast than the Star Dou Great Forest, its vegetation was just as dense.
Blue Silver Grass in particular, the forest's lowest-tier plant, grew in enormous numbers, its deep blue forms visible everywhere.
The moment Lan Lingcang landed, he closed his eyes and instantly spread out his Blue Silver Domain.
In an instant, all the Blue Silver Grass throughout Sunset Forest swayed excitedly, paying homage to their new emperor.
Very quickly, through the information relayed by countless Blue Silver Grasses, Lan Lingcang easily pinpointed the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well's exact location.
Without the slightest hesitation, his body shot forward once more, flying toward the depths of the forest like a meteor.
Several breaths later, Lan Lingcang arrived before the towering valley surrounding the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.
Hovering in midair, he looked around from above. The surroundings were completely silent.
The air around the valley was exceptionally fresh, and he saw none of the dense poisonous miasma described in the original work.
Seeing this, the corners of Lan Lingcang's mouth curled upward as understanding dawned on him.
It seemed that, at this point in time, Dugu Bo had yet to discover the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, this treasured land of perfect feng shui.
In the original work, Dugu Bo only broke through to the realm of Title Douluo when he was seventy-eight.
Moreover, it was only when he had reached the peak of level eighty-nine, with the backlash from the Jade Phosphorus Snake Venom in his body about to erupt completely, that he stumbled upon this place by chance.
Dugu Bo had used the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well's environment to forcibly suppress the deadly poison within him, seizing that opportunity to break through to level ninety in one stroke.
And right now, Dugu Bo was still nowhere to be found.
After confirming that no outsiders would disturb him, Lan Lingcang leisurely made his way to the very top of the valley.
Looking down, the terrain below was highly peculiar, resembling a gigantic volcanic crater.
From the pitch-black opening, thick waves of hot spring vapor continuously billowed forth.
Lan Lingcang chuckled. Without any hesitation, he flew straight down through the volcanic opening.
After passing through layers of steam and mist, the view below suddenly opened up before him.
The instant his eyes adjusted to the light, Lan Lingcang saw all manner of medicinal herbs growing around him.
Red like fire, white like snow, purple like clouds at sunset—the entire valley was filled with an intoxicatingly rich medicinal fragrance.
Lan Lingcang looked around, but his expression became somewhat subtle.
Well... aside from those unusually shaped, impressively named immortal herbs specifically mentioned in the original work, he did not recognize a single one among the remaining majority of exotic flowers and rare plants.
Still, that was not important.
The top-tier immortal herbs named in the original work alone were already more than enough for him to absorb to his heart's content and undergo transformation.
Lan Lingcang stepped forward and slowly approached the spring radiating red and blue light.
His gaze immediately locked onto the Infernal Delicate Apricot and the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass growing on opposite sides of the spring.
Looking at these two supreme immortal herbs, which radiated extreme heat and extreme cold, scenes from the original work surfaced in Lan Lingcang's mind.
He remembered that Tang San seemed to have said in the original work that these two immortal herbs were incomparably domineering and had to be harvested using some special black iron or jade tool.
But the problem was, he, Lan Lingcang, was a soul beast. Where was he supposed to get all those random human tools?
Besides, these two immortal herbs were fundamentally plant-type soul beasts with cultivation. They simply had yet to develop sentience.
Could it be that if they were not removed from the ground according to the methods of Tang San's martial arts world, these immortal herbs would instantly lose all their medicinal effects?
What a joke.
When all was said and done, the fact that Tang San's past-life martial arts world even possessed records of immortal herbs was already rather absurd.
Even if there truly were records, could the immortal herbs in Tang San's world produce Soul Rings and Soul Bones like soul beasts?
Give him a break.
Still, despite mocking it inwardly, Lan Lingcang did not directly pluck the two immortal herbs for the sake of caution.
With a thought, two Blue Silver Vines traced arcs through the air, respectively sweeping toward the Infernal Delicate Apricot and the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass.
Rather than rigidly memorizing Tang San's method and plucking the two immortal herbs to clash them together, allowing the extreme heat and cold to temporarily neutralize each other and disappear—
He chose to use the source vines of his Blue Silver Emperor Sovereign to forcibly devour the two immortal herbs!
He was fundamentally different from Tang San. He was a soul beast.
Furthermore, he was now a ferocious beast with strength at the two-hundred-thousand-year level!
As a super soul beast with two hundred thousand years of cultivation, did he really need to fear two immortal herbs that had not even developed sentience?
So what if these two immortal herbs possessed so-called extreme attributes?
In terms of absolute cultivation, he could crush them with effortless ease!
Blue-gold vines instantly wrapped tightly around the two immortal herbs.
The energies of extreme heat and extreme cold erupted at once, racing along the vines in an attempt to melt and freeze Lan Lingcang's body.
Lan Lingcang snorted coldly as the terrifying Soul Power of two hundred thousand years erupted like raging tidal waves.
A vast blue-gold radiance formed an impenetrable defensive barrier, firmly suppressing the rampaging red and blue light.
The Blue Silver Emperor Sovereign's innate devouring ability was unleashed to its fullest. Under the brutal suppression of his absolute cultivation, the immensely pure medicinal power contained within the two immortal herbs was forcibly stripped away.
The dense essence of the immortal herbs surged into Lan Lingcang's body through the vines.
Three days later.
Lan Lingcang slowly opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of turbid air, feeling utterly refreshed.
Smiling, he raised his right hand. With a thought, a crystalline Blue Silver Grass cheerfully sprouted from his palm.
Upon the spread Blue Silver Grass leaves, in addition to the original blue-gold patterns representing imperial authority—
Two additional stripes had appeared with startling clarity. One was blazing crimson like raging flames, while the other was icy blue like profound frost.
After absorbing these two immortal herbs, Lan Lingcang naturally gained true resistance to both ice and fire.
Moreover, because he was a soul beast and the Blue Silver Emperor itself possessed devouring abilities, his absorption efficiency for these two immortal herbs far exceeded Tang San's direct consumption.
However, if that was all, he still felt it was not quite enough for him to survive the two-hundred-thousand-year Heavenly Tribulation.
After all, these two immortal herbs had merely enhanced his bloodline power and the toughness of his Blue Silver Grass, granting him resistance to ice and fire as well as immunity to all poisons.
However.
With these two immortal herbs as a foundation, he could now devour the other immortal herbs within the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well without any reservations!
