She Xian strolled around as though he were taking a walk through his own backyard.

With Little White's thoughtful guidance, he swiftly plucked three strangely radiant plants and returned.

"Teacher, this one is for you!"

He casually handed Qian Renxue a golden flower, crimson all over and shaped like a rooster's comb.

"Grandfather, this one is yours."

Next, She Xian tossed a plant that glimmered with a steady golden light, shaped like a small melon yet faintly carrying the roar of a dragon, to Snake Lance Douluo She Long.

"Grandpa Ci Xue, this one is yours."

The last was an exceedingly peculiar golden chrysanthemum, white as jade and covered in dense velvet fuzz, which he directly stuffed into Pufferfish Douluo Ci Xue's arms.

The three held the bizarre plants in their hands and looked at one another.

Their eyes were filled with utter bewilderment.

"Th... what is this?" She Long scratched his head.

Holding that little melon, he could not sense even a trace of violent Soul Power from it.

He only felt an ancient, weighty aura drilling straight into his nostrils.

Beside them, Dugu Bo's eyelids twitched violently.

She Xian's rough harvesting nearly made him spit out a mouthful of blood.

The plants in this medicinal garden were bizarre and strange. Aside from those highly poisonous herbs,

he, the garden's owner who had lived here for decades, did not recognize most of them and did not dare touch them rashly.

Remembering the Martial Soul oath he had just sworn, Dugu Bo hurriedly warned, "Young Master! Little Young Master! You must not act recklessly!"

"This old man has tended this place for years. The medicinal properties of these exotic flowers and herbs are tyrannical and bizarre. If any of them are highly poisonous, even a Titled Douluo could end up with his guts rotting through after swallowing them!"

"Old Poison, if you don't understand, then stop babbling and stand aside."

She Xian rolled his eyes.

He crossed his arms, raised his chin, and immediately began showing off his god-tier academic knowledge.

"Teacher, the one in your hand is called the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower. It is a supreme immortal herb of the crimson-gold fire attribute!"

"Not only can it purify the source of Sacred Fire within your body, it can also push the power of the Sun Sacred Fire in your Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul to its limit."

"It has unimaginable effects on enhancing your purification and explosive output."

Qian Renxue's delicate body trembled slightly.

She lowered her head to look at the fiery crimson cockscomb flower in her palm, and stormy waves rose in her cool, beautiful eyes.

Purify the Sun Fire of the Six-Winged Angel?

Did such a miraculous treasure truly exist in this world?

She Xian then turned to his grandfather.

"Grandfather, yours is called the Earth Dragon Golden Melon."

"It contains an extremely faint yet exceedingly pure bloodline of an ancient Earth Dragon."

"Your Violet-Cyan Serpent Spear Martial Soul inherently possesses the biological bloodline traits of a serpent."

"After eating it, your Martial Soul bloodline may be greatly enhanced."

She Xian had chosen this immortal herb for She Long precisely because the Violet-Cyan Serpent Spear possessed traits of both a tool Martial Soul and a beast Martial Soul, so it was bound to contain the bloodline of a serpent-type beast Martial Soul.

"As for Grandpa Ci Xue's one."

She Xian blinked, suppressing a smile as he pointed at the chrysanthemum in Ci Xue's arms.

"This is the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, a supreme immortal herb for body refinement!"

"It is upright and peaceful. Consuming it can open the body's extraordinary meridians, temper the muscles and bones, and help forge a truly indestructible body."

This barrage of precise explanations completely stunned everyone present!

Purifying the Sun Fire?

Enhancing Martial Soul bloodlines?

An indestructible body?!

How the hell were these herbs?

They were clearly divine pills bestowed by immortals to change one's fate!

Ci Xue looked at the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum in his hand and mused, "This thing looks a lot like that old chrysanthemum Yue Guan's Martial Soul."

She Long recalled, "Yue Guan's Martial Soul seems to be called the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum too."

A sly smile curled across She Xian's lips as he waved at Qian Renxue and the other two.

"Teacher, Grandfather, Grandpa Ci Xue, stop standing around. Hurry up and consume them to refine their effects. Would I lie to you?"

Qian Renxue looked at the confidence and affection in She Xian's eyes and did not hesitate in the slightest.

In her eyes, this youth who called her "Teacher" was the most trustworthy person in the world.

"Fine. Your teacher believes you!"

Qian Renxue tilted back her fair, delicate neck, opened her red lips, and swallowed the entire crimson-gold Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower in one gulp.

She then sat down cross-legged, and dazzling golden sacred light erupted around her in an instant!

"Hahaha, the Young Master has eaten one already. What the hell am I afraid of?"

She Long laughed heartily, stuffed the Earth Dragon Golden Melon into his mouth, and sat down as well.

Pufferfish Douluo Ci Xue refused to be outdone. He took a huge bite out of the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum.

Soon, thunderous sounds of meridians tearing through the air erupted around him.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Three earth-shaking storms of Soul Power instantly surged around the three powerful figures.

Dugu Bo stood dumbly where he was.

Watching the scene before him, his head buzzed.

Before Dugu Bo could recover from this world-shattering shock,

an even more astonishing sight appeared, one that nearly made his eyes burst from their sockets.

Having finished handing out the immortal herbs, She Xian shoved both hands into his pockets and walked straight to the very edge of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, where red and white waters intertwined and killing intent churned.

"L-Little Young Master, get back!"

Dugu Bo's pupils shrank sharply as he screamed, "That pool is incredibly dangerous!"

"The left side is freezing cold, the right side is scorching hot, and both are terribly corrosive. Even a Titled Douluo like this old man would lose a layer of skin from a single drop!"

He had only meant to remind She Xian to be careful.

Yet faced with the harsh warning of this Titled Douluo, She Xian did not even turn his head.

He stood calmly at the boundary between violently boiling heat and bone-piercing cold.

"Old Poison, just because a Titled Douluo can't do something doesn't mean I can't!"

On She Xian's left,

a gigantic serpent phantom, white as jade and radiating the power of water and ice, soared into the sky—Little White.

On his right,

an even more violent and domineering purple ferocious serpent phantom descended upon the world with supreme pride that looked down upon all things—Medusa Queen.

The two serpents stood to his left and right, spanning heaven and earth!

"W-What Martial Souls are those?!"

Dugu Bo's legs gave out.

The bloodline and pressure that came from the depths of his soul forced him to kneel straight down!

The Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor Martial Soul within him trembled in terror, not daring to release even the slightest trace of its aura.

Before Dugu Bo could finish being horrified, the two towering serpent phantoms suddenly dove downward.

They opened their gaping maws with the force to swallow heaven and devour earth, charging directly toward the core of the red-and-white pool.

At the two ultimate poisonous treasures that made even Dugu Bo's eyes sting at a glance: the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the Infernal Delicate Apricot!

Crack!

Under Dugu Bo's horrified gaze, the two enormous serpent phantoms each bit off one of the immortal herbs, roots and all,

then flicked their tongues and swept the herbs back into their bodies.

"Th... this kid has gone insane!" Dugu Bo felt that She Xian was beyond saving.

The ice and fire elemental power contained in those two immortal herbs was so immense that even he could not touch them.

Yet She Xian's Martial Souls had swallowed both of those peerless immortal herbs, one of ultimate cold and one of ultimate heat, at the same time!
