Intimidation

Before Yu Wuyi could even approach, thousands upon thousands of blossoms suddenly burst forth from the fire-attributed lake of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

They hurtled toward him at incredible speed, carrying temperatures so intense they warped space itself!

"Oh? So you found me."

He recognized at a glance that this was the work of the Fragrant Silk Immortal Herb.

These small flowers were not to be underestimated. After all, the waters of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well possessed two ultimate attributes!

In other words, every one of those incoming flowers represented an attack of ultimate fire!

But when it came to fire, this was Sam's specialty.

Trying this in front of Sam—even if it was ultimate fire—was like showing off one's skill before a master.

Not to mention that Sam's strength already utterly surpassed that of the Fragrant Silk Immortal Herb.

Even without using the Limitless Technique, these lake flowers hitting him would be no more painful than being sprayed by a water gun filled with warm water.

Yu Wuyi charged straight through this ultimate fire that ordinary powerhouses would avoid at all costs.

He descended above the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

In an instant, he sensed no fewer than ten waves of hostility of varying intensities.

Without question, every owner of that hostility was a hundred-thousand-year soul beast.

This surprised Yu Wuyi somewhat. He knew that there were more than just the six great plant-type fierce beasts here.

But he had not expected there to be so many!

Frankly speaking, there were probably more hundred-thousand-year soul beasts here than in the entire Star Dou Great Forest.

Though their overall strength certainly could not compare.

"Friends, please remain calm. I mean no harm."

Although, with his current strength, they would be powerless even if he chose to seize them by force.

But as a merchant, he naturally adhered to the principle of resolving matters peacefully whenever possible rather than resorting to violence.

"You mean no harm, yet you're flying so brazenly at such a height?"

The voice came from the shore where the two kinds of lake water met.

There stood a pale pink flower with a stem nearly a zhang long. Its blossom stretched over three chi wide, its petals crystalline and translucent like crystal.

Her petals stirred, and another voice rang out:

"If you've got the guts, come down here and talk!"

As she spoke, her petals began to pulse continuously, and the fire lake started to stir once more.

Clearly, she had launched the previous attack.

Seeing this, Yu Wuyi shook his head helplessly.

Having read the original work, he knew that although the immortal herbs here were not malicious by nature, many of them had rather devious personalities.

If you were weaker than them, even if they did not harm you, they would still toy with you.

If he wanted them to behave and listen, the only way was to display overwhelming strength.

Bzzzz—

An unusual sound arose from Sam, a steadily intensifying charging hum seeming to foretell something.

Every immortal herb beside the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well had the same thought at once.

What was he trying to do?

Yu Wuyi answered their question with his actions.

The instant the charging sound reached its peak!

All the immortal herbs saw white, followed by an ear-splitting explosion!

BOOM!!!

In an instant, the entire valley shook violently, and terrifying heat swept through its interior!

It was as though an additional sun had appeared above the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well!

The multicolored poisonous clouds overhead were directly burned through by the horrifying heat!

When the immortal herbs recovered and looked up, all they could see was a white figure bathed in terrifying flames!

The flames wrapped around him like an outer garment!

"Can we talk properly now?"

Yu Wuyi asked with a smile.

This was the Secondary Burning Mode of Sam at 60% synchronization. Merely activating it possessed such terrifying power.

Moreover, he had deliberately redirected most of the energy upward, leaving only a small portion behind so the immortal herbs would understand that this was no illusion.

That was also why the multicolored poisonous clouds had been burned full of a hole.

"Alright, alright, we can talk this out. You look way too terrifying like this. Can you change back?!"

The Fragrant Silk Immortal Herb's petals shrank back in fear, and her tone lost its initial firmness.

Only then did Yu Wuyi exit Secondary Burn, and the sky above the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well immediately cleared.

The Fragrant Silk Immortal Herb seemed to breathe a sigh of relief as her petals slowly unfolded again.

Just what was this guy's background? Why did his flames feel even stronger than Ultimate Fire...?

Yu Wuyi, floating in midair, noticed something was off. Because of the Secondary Burn just now, the temperature throughout the valley had risen considerably.

Even after it was deactivated, the temperature would not be able to return to normal anytime soon.

As a result, the ice-attributed immortal herbs in the valley drooped listlessly.

"Hmm... this won't do. It'll affect the conversation to come."

Buzz—

As a chill wind swept past, Yu Wuyi changed from white Sam into deep-blue Caesar.

He spread his arms, and an icy gale instantly swept through the entire valley.

The previously scorching temperature plummeted at a visible rate, quickly returning to its original state.

But this alone gave the Fragrant Silk Immortal Herb a terrible fright!

Ultimate Ice! No, perhaps something even stronger!

His flames had already been stronger than Ultimate Fire. His ice attribute probably wouldn't be any weaker either...

This human actually possessed two completely opposing abilities, and both surpassed the ultimate level!

"Oh my god... just what kind of existence have we run into...?"

After finishing all that, Yu Wuyi changed back into Sam and gracefully descended beside the Fragrant Silk Immortal Herb.

The Fragrant Silk Immortal Herb visibly trembled, terrified that he might attack her.

All she could do was ask timidly, "You said you meant no harm just now. Is that true?"

Yu Wuyi nodded and said, "Of course. I came here to find an immortal herb. As long as he comes with me for a while, I guarantee I won't touch a single flower or blade of grass here."

Seeing that he truly did not seem intent on attacking, the Fragrant Silk Immortal Herb relaxed a little. She asked shyly, "Then which immortal herb are you looking for? It isn't me, is it?!"

Seeing how frightened she was, Yu Wuyi could not help but laugh.

Setting aside her scheming nature, she was actually rather cute.

"Don't worry. I'm not here for you this time."

Next time, though, was another matter.

"Could you call Silky Tulip out for me?"

So he had come for Silky.

The Fragrant Silk Immortal Herb breathed a sigh of relief, then shouted in a certain direction.

"Silky! This person is here for you!"

Yu Wuyi looked in that direction.

A man in purple slowly approached and bowed to him. "I am the Silky Tulip you seek, sir. You may call me Silky. May I ask what you need of me?"

His tone was extremely polite, though it carried a hint of unease.

Clearly, Yu Wuyi's display of strength had intimidated every immortal herb present.

They could not even bring themselves to resist.

Yu Wuyi gestured for him to relax and said amicably, "No need to be so nervous. I only need you to come with me for a while."

"During that time, I will ensure that your life is not in danger. However, you will also need to help me with something."

"Of course, I won't take advantage of you for nothing. Once it is done, I can give all of you a promise."

"If you ever encounter danger someday, you can come directly to me. I'll settle it for you."

"What do you think?"

"Alright!" Silky Tulip nodded in agreement with barely any hesitation.

He had witnessed Yu Wuyi's strength just now. It was undeniably formidable.

Moreover, the other party had guaranteed his safety.

Why would he refuse the chance to safely gain the protection of such a powerful expert?

Most importantly, even if he refused, someone this powerful could take him away by force with ease.

The fact that Yu Wuyi was willing to reason with him was already a blessing amid misfortune.

Not to mention, he was offering benefits as well.
