Immortal Herbs and Spirit Medicines, I Want Them All

A week later.

The core region of the Sunset Forest, the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

Using the system map function, Qian Xunji successfully arrived at this land of opportunity.

If not for the system map, a man like him—whose navigation relied entirely on unreliable maps—would never have known when he might have stumbled upon the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well in the vast Sunset Forest.

A roar echoed out, and a massive, ten-thousand-year-old Medusa with a human head and snake body appeared before his eyes.

This was Dugu Bo's eighth spirit ring and his head spirit bone.

Facing a soul beast that was an enemy of humanity, Qian Xunji summoned his martial soul without hesitation.

The Emperor Armor manifested on his body, and he gripped a golden treasure sword.

He used his fourth spirit skill, Angel Light Blade, summoning over a dozen golden short swords to attack through telekinesis.

Coordinating this with his eighth spirit skill, Angel Roar, he quickly dispatched the guardian beast of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

A black spirit ring floated in the air.

Qian Xunji retrieved the Medusa's corpse, and the black spirit ring vanished along with it.

Curious, he opened the system space and was surprised to see the spirit ring, spirit bone, and the beast's carcass all appearing on the panel.

He curiously reached out a finger and tapped the spirit ring.

The system displayed an explanation.

Killing a soul beast drops a spirit ring; if the beast's carcass is retrieved before the ring dissipates into the world, the dropped spirit ring can be stored within the system space.

These spirit rings, stored in the system space alongside the carcass, are freed from the Douluo plane's rule that "only the one who kills the beast can absorb the ring," becoming ownerless spirit rings.

Such ownerless spirit rings can be absorbed and refined by anyone, provided the spirit master has reached the strength required to absorb that specific ring.

"The system has this function too? Not bad, not bad," Qian Xunji praised.

Qian Xunji gathered his strength and shattered the rock wall with a punch, stepping into the secret realm of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

The two springs stood side by side, coming into view.

One was as scorching as blood that could burn the heavens, the other as frigid as the marrow of the underworld.

The Red Sun Spring surged like a torrent of molten lava, heat waves billowing; within a hundred yards, vegetation withered and stone turned to powder. It seemed as if fire dragons were coiling in the air, breathing out flames that ignited the very wind, emitting a faint "hissing" sound.

The Blue Ice Spring was as still as a cold abyss, the chill biting to the bone. The surface was covered in eternal black ice, with ice patterns like curses; to touch it was to freeze one's soul. Cold mist swirled like the wings of an ice phoenix, and wherever it passed, birds fell with frozen feathers and insects turned to corpses.

The exotic flowers and rare herbs surrounding the springs vied for beauty.

He had no time to admire the spectacle or marvel at the uncanny workmanship of nature.

Qian Xunji's goal was clear: prioritize absorbing the Autumn Dew, the immortal herb capable of enhancing spiritual power.

As the pearl entered his eyes, he felt a wave of coolness, and he immediately channeled his spirit power to refine it.

Qian Xunji sat cross-legged, and after absorbing the Autumn Dew, his spiritual power surged, reaching the Spirit Domain realm.

With spiritual power at the Spirit Domain realm, plus a hundred-thousand-year spirit ring, one held the entry ticket to becoming a Limit Douluo.

However, spiritual power at the Spirit Domain realm was not enough to satisfy Qian Xunji.

Refining the Autumn Dew brought his spiritual power to the Spirit Domain realm, making his thoughts faster and his memory approach the level of photographic recall.

His vision also improved, allowing him to see further and granting him dynamic vision; he could even see certain bacteria as if through a microscope.

But, it lacked the ability to directly boost combat power.

Things like illusions or laser eyes, for instance.

For the time being, Qian Xunji stayed within the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, this treasure trove of cultivation, to train.

Every day, he relied on the system's appraisal function to identify medicinal herbs and immortal grasses, seeking out those suitable for his current stage to absorb and refine, thereby increasing his cultivation.

In any case, with ten thousand tons of optional gourmet food as support, he lacked no supplies.

It was enough for him to stay at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well until he reached the realm of a Limit Douluo.

A full month had passed since his transmigration.

By frantically absorbing and refining immortal herbs and medicinal plants, and tempering his body with the energy of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, Qian Xunji's cultivation reached level 89.

With the help of refining the Star Luo Spirit Pearl, he condensed a spirit core, and his spirit power broke through to the level 90 quasi-Title Douluo realm.

He opened the system panel and tapped the sign-in button.

[Sign-in successful. Obtained one Unlimited Spirit Ring Age Increase Card (10,000 years).]

The Unlimited Spirit Ring Age Increase Card had the function of increasing the age of any hundred-year, thousand-year, ten-thousand-year, hundred-thousand-year, or even beast-god spirit ring by ten thousand years.

If used on the spirit ring produced by the 990,000-year Deep Sea Demon Whale King, it could break the limit and become a million-year god-beast spirit ring.

Of course, hunting the Deep Sea Demon Whale King was impossible.

Even if he held a 30-minute Quasi-God cultivation experience card.

Bo Saixi, who possessed the Sea God martial soul on Sea God Island, held divine power within her body, could briefly use divine artifacts, and could summon the phantom of the Sea God to fight, still could not defeat the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.

Even the protagonist Tang San had to rely on the gods shamelessly stepping in to help before he successfully killed the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.

Therefore, Qian Xunji, whose cultivation was only at level 90 as a quasi-Title Douluo, would not let his blood boil and brainlessly go to kill the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.

Even if he brought every Title Douluo from the Offering Hall and Elder Hall along to hunt it, success would be unlikely.

Thus, the target for his ninth spirit ring had to be changed.

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, that big, fawning, fat silkworm, became Qian Xunji's primary target.

The ice attribute of Tianmeng Ice Silkworm clashed with the fire attribute inherent to the Six-Winged Angel spirit, but in the face of that nearly million-year cultivation, it was insignificant.

As for the spirit skill produced by the spirit ring dropped by Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, it lacked any real offensive power, but Qian Xunji did not care much about that.

As the saying went, only lazy weaklings relied on powerful spirit skills.

The spirit ring obtained from killing Tianmeng Ice Silkworm and the potential head spirit bone it might drop could, after refinement, perhaps elevate his mental power to the Divine Origin Realm; this was what Qian Xunji truly valued.

Possessing sufficiently powerful mental strength was the only way to support him in transforming the whimsical ideas in his mind into power.

However, considering that the current location of Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was deep within the Far North.

To travel to that frozen, snow-covered land, he needed to properly prepare some items for protection against the cold.

And.

Qian Xunji's gaze swept across the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, his eyes darkening as he made up his mind.

He would not leave even a single drop of spring water or a grain of soil from the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well for Tang San.

As for whether Dugu Bo would die directly because he could not come to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well to suppress the toxins in his body.

Qian Xunji: Respect the fate of others.

Dugu Bo had a strange temper.

How could someone who became close friends with a thief like Tang San—a guy who constantly spouted "You have a way to die"—be a normal person?

It could not be denied that in the original work, Dugu Bo's group combat ability was outstanding, and he was incredibly powerful against fodder, practically a walking, large-scale human poison gas bomb.

But so what?

Large-scale killing methods were not limited to poison.

Large-scale, eternal, inextinguishable flames could achieve the same result.

Drain the spring water, shovel the soil, and hollow out the entire Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

Not a drop of water, not a grain of soil, would be left for Tang San to enjoy.

The remains of the Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King would be stored in the system space.

As for the left and right arm bones of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings, it would be safer to wait until the system recovered its energy and woke up before absorbing them.

This was to avoid being possessed by a remnant soul while refining the spirit bones.
