The Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well!
Lu Chen looked at the immortal herbs growing everywhere, and suddenly said:
"Brother Dugu, the plants growing in this valley include quite a few medicinal herbs of immortal-herb grade. Can I pick them and consume them?"
Hearing this, Dugu Bo's expression turned solemn, and he issued a stern warning:
"Little Brother, it is not that this old man is stingy. As this old man told you just now, many of these herbs are fatal poisonous grasses."
"Even if you have the ability to detoxify, do not rashly touch those herbs. In case you touch certain fatal poisonous grasses, you will not even have the chance to cast soul skills to detoxify."
Lu Chen explained with full confidence:
"Brother Dugu can rest assured. Remember I told you that my martial soul is special and can resonate with plants? It was precisely by relying on this ability that I found the vicinity of this valley in the first place."
"I can communicate directly with these plants through my martial soul. I can still tell which ones are immortal herbs and which ones are poisonous grasses."
"I will only eat one or two immortal herbs and will definitely not touch those poisonous grasses. I still cherish my own little life."
Hearing Lu Chen say this, Dugu Bo also felt greatly astonished; unexpectedly, someone could directly communicate with plants through a martial soul.
Dugu Bo thought to himself:
I already saw my little brother's martial soul last time. It was crystal clear, completely unlike a plant, and instead looked like jade.
The life breath it emitted made even me feel refreshed. Without a doubt, it must be a top-tier plant martial soul, which is why he can communicate with plants.
After all, one of my little brother's soul skills can even neutralize the Jade Phosphorus Snake Poison. This is definitely not something an ordinary martial soul can achieve.
At this thought, Dugu Bo nodded and agreed:
"Since you have this ability, I won't worry about you then. This old man doesn't even recognize all the herbs in this valley myself. As long as you find herbs that are useful to you, consume them however you like."
"You neutralized the Jade Phosphorus Snake Poison on Yanyan, and this old man hasn't thanked you properly yet. It's just some medicinal herbs; even if they are immortal herbs, they aren't worth mentioning."
Dugu Bo was very generous, letting Lu Chen pick the immortal herbs of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.
Lu Chen was all smiles, joy beyond measure in his heart. Then, as if thinking of something, he looked at Dugu Bo and said:
"Brother Dugu, speaking of Yanyan, she is still at Heaven Dou Royal Academy. Do you want to bring Yanyan here as well to avoid the spotlight?"
"The two of us ran out of Heaven Dou City under the cover of night. Once those informants notice tomorrow, whether Crown Prince Xue Qinghe of the Heaven Dou Empire or Sect Master Ning Fengzhi of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, neither is likely to let the matter rest."
"It's very likely they will target Yanyan. Even if they don't harm Yanyan, they will definitely put her under close surveillance, hoping to use that to find our whereabouts. In that case, Yanyan would be in danger."
"Taking advantage of the fact that the news hasn't been passed back yet, bringing Yanyan out as early as possible can also prevent certain bad things from happening."
Dugu Bo's expression changed instantly, and a monstrous imposing aura erupted from within his body. Dugu Yan was Dugu Bo's only relative left in the world; if anyone dared to touch Dugu Yan, Dugu Bo would fight that person to the death.
Hearing Lu Chen's conjecture, a hint of brutality surfaced in Dugu Bo's expression, and he spoke in a stern voice:
"I'd like to see who dares to touch my granddaughter! I will definitely fight them to the bitter end!"
For Dugu Bo's consideration and for his own, Lu Chen could not allow Dugu Yan to remain outside alone, so he added fuel to the fire:
"Brother Dugu, it's always best to be prepared. Just in case the people of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect cannot find our whereabouts, to atone for their crimes and escape punishment, they might go to Heaven Dou Academy to monitor Yanyan or even capture Yanyan. We have to guard against it."
This remark by Lu Chen became the final straw that broke the camel's back. Dugu Bo would not watch even a shred of an accident befall Dugu Yan.
His expression turned resolute, and he finally made up his mind, saying:
"Little Brother, be careful by yourself in this valley. I'll take advantage of the fact that it's not dawn yet to hurry to Heaven Dou Royal Academy and bring Yanyan over."
"You're right, it's always best to be prepared. I cannot gamble with Yanyan; she is my only precious granddaughter."
"For a short time, we will avoid the spotlight first. After you break through to the seventieth level of soul power, hunt a spirit beast, and obtain your seventh spirit ring..."
"With your support, I should finally have the strength to fight Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. At that time, we won't need to hide anymore."
As his voice fell, Dugu Bo hurriedly soared into the air. With rapid flashes of his figure, he left the valley in the space of a few breaths and hurried toward Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
After Dugu Bo left, only Lu Chen remained in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. He turned around, looked at the vast Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, and his eyes lit up.
"Blue Silver Domain!"
Lu Chen activated the Blue Silver Domain, and an invisible fluctuation rapidly spread outward centered on him, quickly covering the entire Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.
In a split second, the myriad immortal herbs of all kinds in this Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well swayed their postures within the Blue Silver Domain, inhaling, exhaling, and refining the life breath attached to the Blue Silver Domain.
wisps of faint consciousness passed through the network of the Blue Silver Domain into Lu Chen's mind, and he listened to the voice of each immortal herb.
Every immortal herb in this Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well was no less than a ten-thousand-year spirit beast. Unfortunately, due to their physical structures, the process of them giving birth to consciousness was extremely difficult.
Through the Blue Silver Domain, Lu Chen listened to the voices of these immortal herbs and found that the consciousness of these immortal herbs was simply like that of three-year-old children.
Clueless and very simple!
Because of the life breath attached to Lu Chen's Blue Silver Domain, these immortal herbs felt a great deal of goodwill toward Lu Chen.
Under Lu Chen's deliberate inquiries, these immortal herbs quickly divulged everything they were supposed to tell.
What were their names?
What were their medicinal properties?
Precautions for picking?
Precautions for consumption?
And a series of other information was quickly mastered by Lu Chen in its entirety.
Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass!
Infernal Delicate Apricot!
Aromatic Silk Beauty!
Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum!
Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid!
Aromatic Silk Beauty!
Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower!
Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone!
Lovesick Heartbreak Red!
Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew!
Dragon Origin Fruit!
Primordial Immortal Herb!
The number of immortal herbs in this Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well exceeded Lu Chen's imagination somewhat. The immortal herbs he knew of when reading books in his past life were only a portion of the immortal herbs.
There were even more immortal herbs that were not introduced excessively in the original plotline.
Thanks to having already awakened the Blue Silver Domain, Lu Chen was able to communicate directly with these immortal herbs through the Blue Silver Domain and thus learn their names and medicinal properties.
Looking at these numerous immortal herbs, Lu Chen gradually became somewhat dazzled with choices; for a moment, he had not decided which kind of immortal herb to consume.
If I want to rapidly increase my soul power, I could indeed consume the Primordial Immortal Herb. But with my Gold Finger where I grow stronger just by breathing, I have no need for immortal herbs at all if I want to increase soul power.
If I want to evolve my martial soul and increase its toughness, I could consume the Ink Jade Divine Bamboo. It's just that my Blue Silver King martial soul is skewed toward support rather than combat, so increasing the toughness of the martial soul really isn't very suitable.
For me at present, the most important thing is to absorb the seventh spirit ring, which is the key to unlocking the Martial Soul Avatar. And the seventh spirit ring I have scheduled is that eighty-five-thousand-year Blue Silver King in the Blue Silver Forest.
Some Title Douluo absorb an eighty-five-thousand-year spirit ring for their ninth spirit ring. If I want to absorb an eighty-five-thousand-year spirit ring as my seventh spirit ring, physical fitness and soul strength are both extremely critical issues.
It seems I cannot afford to be picky. I will consume the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the Infernal Delicate Apricot, use the power of water and fire to forge a Vajra body, and then consume the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew to substantially boost my spiritual power.
With these two preconditions, I will have absolute certainty of successfully absorbing the eighty-five-thousand-year spirit ring of the Blue Silver King.
If nothing unexpected happens, I will obtain a most perfect Martial Soul Avatar skill, and it might even promote another evolution of my martial soul, letting my Blue Silver King martial soul evolve into the true Blue Silver Emperor martial soul...
