Although the External Spirit Bone is immensely powerful, the consumption of spirit power is equally significant.
"Once I have completely refined the Eight Spider Lances, the spirit power consumption should decrease significantly."
Unlike Tang San's Eight Spider Lances, Ling Feng's Eight Spider Lances resembled the actual legs of a Death Demon Spider spirit beast.
The fine hairs on the spider legs were like poison-tipped steel needles, and their tips were as sharp as swords, digging deep into the soil.
Because Tang San's spirit was the Blue Silver Grass, his Eight Spider Lances appeared like a mutated form of the Blue Silver Grass.
The Eight Spider Lances should be a much better match for a Death Demon Spider spirit! Ling Feng thought to himself.
"Time to retract them!"
After testing them out, Ling Feng had a grasp of his External Spirit Bone's power. There was no need to keep them exposed; he would properly cultivate and absorb the External Spirit Bone when he had more time.
Just as he would retract his spirit, Ling Feng slowly drew the Eight Spider Lances back into his body.
He reached out to touch his back; the eight slight bumps remained, yet there were no visible wounds.
Hoo~ I must recover my spirit power first, then set out to find the legendary Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well! Ling Feng thought.
As a transmigrator, he was naturally aware of one of the greatest opportunities on the Douluo Continent: the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
The immortal herbs growing there could turn a spirit master of mediocre aptitude into a cultivation genius; he could not afford to miss this.
However, his cultivation had been too low previously, and he was not familiar enough with the Sunset Forest, so he had not dared to venture deep into its depths.
Ling Feng put on his clothes, meditated for a while to cultivate, and then headed toward the depths of the Sunset Forest.
What is this brat doing? Why is he heading toward the depths of the Sunset Forest?
Bibi Dong watched as Ling Feng acted out of character and walked toward the heart of the Sunset Forest, her heart filled with confusion.
Something is wrong, something is wrong, this brat is acting strange!
That's right, he doesn't seem to come from any major faction, so why did he immediately know what an External Spirit Bone was when he heard the name?
External Spirit Bones were extremely rare—one in a million—and ordinary spirit masters had no channel to learn such specialized knowledge about spirits.
His bone age should be sixteen. If he had a major faction behind him, his spirit power shouldn't just be at level thirty.
This brat likely has other secrets; could I have misjudged him?
Bibi Dong remained silent, staying quietly within Ling Feng's sea of consciousness, wanting to see what he intended to do.
Half a day later, the sky grew dim as the sun sank in the west.
Bibi Dong watched as Ling Feng stepped into the central region of the Sunset Forest.
What is he doing here?
Ling Feng looked at the intersection of the mountain ranges filled with poisonous miasma and put away the map of the Sunset Forest he had spent a fortune to purchase.
If not for this map, he likely would have taken many wrong turns and stepped into the territories of ten-thousand-year spirit beasts.
The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well should be on this mountain, right?
He had deduced this location based on the map, and now, seeing the miasma covering the mountain, Ling Feng felt even more certain.
Ling Feng took the antidote he had prepared in advance, activated his spirit avatar to transform into a giant demon spider, and began to run up the mountain.
The area was filled with poisonous miasma, so no spirit beasts could survive here; there were no risks other than poisoning or falling off a cliff.
To deal with these risks, Ling Feng had long since prepared antidotes and other supplies.
Furthermore, now that I have absorbed the spirit ring of the Death Demon Spider, my resistance to poison has increased significantly.
Before long, Ling Feng climbed the high mountain cliff and entered the range of the poisonous miasma.
At this time, the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well had not yet been occupied by Dugu Bo, nor was it guarded by a poison formation.
Through the miasma, Ling Feng soon caught sight of the scenery on the mountain.
On the other side was a valley, which was also the source of the miasma.
Ling Feng stood at a high vantage point and looked toward the source of the miasma, where faint flickers of spiritual light could be seen.
Those must be the spiritual herbs growing here!
Ling Feng let out a sigh of relief. The fact that spiritual herbs were growing here while other plants could not survive proved he had found the right place.
Mine, all of it is mine!
Ling Feng suppressed the joy in his heart and carefully climbed down the cliff.
After descending the stone wall and entering the valley, Ling Feng headed straight for a large pink flower.
This is the Fragrant Silk Immortal Herb!
This immortal herb had no leaves, and its stem resembled that of a datura flower; its petals were as crystalline and transparent as crystal, large and full.
Its stamen was deep purple, like an inlaid diamond.
What confirmed its identity to Ling Feng, however, was the pink light barrier formed by its elegant fragrance.
This barrier isolated the poisonous miasma, providing Ling Feng with a place to rest.
The location of the Fragrant Silk Immortal Herb was exactly at the intersection of the ice and fire springs.
The alternating cold and heat here were so intense that even a Titled Douluo could not remain for long.
Within Ling Feng's spiritual sea, Bibi Dong gazed at the environment in shock: "How could such a place possess so many spiritual herbs?"
"And that chrysanthemum—is that not the Wondrous Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, Yue Guan's martial soul?"
Bibi Dong did not recognize the other immortal herbs, but she could certainly identify the Chrysanthemum Douluo's martial soul.
She knew that the Chrysanthemum Douluo's martial soul was top-tier, so the quality of this Wondrous Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum was undoubtedly high.
This brat truly has secrets and extraordinary luck to have found a place like this!
Then again, if his luck weren't extraordinary, how would he have encountered the reborn me?
With her guidance as the Rakshasa God, could Ling Feng's future achievements be anything but great?
If he fails to join Spirit Hall, perhaps I can have him take this Wondrous Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum to find Yue Guan!
Yue Guan seems to be a Spirit Saint now; with his guarantee, this brat could enter the Spirit Academy and meet the current me!
Bibi Dong grew increasingly confident in Ling Feng, believing he could change her fate.
Ling Feng rested for a while to recover his spirit power before beginning his search for the immortal herbs he desired.
Drawing from Tang San's experience, Ling Feng naturally intended to follow his path: absorbing those three immortal herbs to temper his body with ice and fire.
In the center of the cold spring stood a sharp, eight-petaled, octagonal flower, roughly half a meter in diameter.
Its petals surrounded an ice-crystal stamen, flickering with a cold light and emitting a pale blue icy mist.
At the other end, in the center of the hot spring, was an immortal herb resembling a large cabbage, its entire body crimson as fire, with leaves like burning flames.
Its petals were layered like a fire-red cabbage, with golden-red halos on their edges, and the heat it radiated distorted the surrounding air.
These must be the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the Blazing Apricot Delicate Herb, Ling Feng thought to himself.
But how am I supposed to eat these?
He was somewhat bewildered; before coming here, he had no idea these two immortal herbs would be so massive.
Not to mention the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, even the Blazing Apricot Delicate Herb was like a large cabbage; swallowing it whole would be quite a challenge.
Is Tang San a man-eating flower in disguise? How could he swallow these two giant immortal herbs in one go?
Ling Feng did not act immediately, deciding first to find the Dew of Looking Through Autumn Waters to consume, hoping to strengthen his spiritual power before figuring out how to ingest the ice and fire herbs.
Soon, amidst the vast expanse of spiritual herbs and poisons, he found a small white flower, its entire body translucent like jade with a faint blue glow.
Its petals were thin and transparent, as if formed from morning dew; it was precisely the Dew of Looking Through Autumn Waters!
