Snowy Swan Kiss

Ye Feng spread his wings and gave them a fierce beat, instantly lifting himself off the ground.

Like a fireball charging at high speed, he broke through layers of Poison Barrier and flew straight into the sky.

"So this is what flying feels like..."

Although it was Ye Feng's first time taking flight, he did not feel the slightest discomfort.

It was as if he had been born to belong to the sky.

"Monster!"

Following the gap in the Poison Barrier, Dugu Bo stared blankly at the crimson figure in the sky, his mouth falling open on its own.

After living so many years, this was the first time he had ever seen such a heaven-defying martial soul.

It possessed ultimate flames, enhanced all attributes after possession, countered all poisons, and even granted the ability to fly...

If Ye Feng had been his enemy, he would have killed him at any cost.

Fortunately, that would never happen.

In midair.

After adapting to flight, Ye Feng turned his gaze toward an open patch of ground below, eager to try something.

At the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, he had to hold back out of concern for the Immortal Herbs, but now that he was in the air...

"Perfect. I'll use this chance to test my second Soul Skill."

With a thought from Ye Feng.

A deep purple Soul Ring rose beneath his feet, its light flowing.

"Second Soul Skill: Phoenix Wings Soaring!"

As the words fell, the flaming Phoenix Wings behind him blazed brightly and suddenly swept forward!

"Boom—!"

It was not a flame attack. Instead, two crimson-gold streams of fire condensed to the extreme surged forth like giant birds diving upon their prey.

They carved two scorching trails through the air before slamming into the open ground dozens of meters ahead.

"Bang!!!"

Amid the thunderous blast, dirt and stones scattered as smoke and dust billowed.

When the dust dispersed, two charred craters more than three meters wide and half a meter deep had been blasted into the ground.

The soil along the crater walls had melted, taking on a glass-like texture. Dark golden flames still crackled along the edges, wildly eroding the surroundings.

"Area impact, with continuous burning and erosion..."

Ye Feng stroked his chin as he assessed it, his eyes growing brighter and brighter. "And when it's released in flight, both its speed and impact are enhanced quite a bit. Barely passable."

At some point, Dugu Bo had appeared beside him.

Looking down at the smoking craters below, the corner of his mouth twitched.

You called that barely passable?

He would have believed that level of destructive power was the third Soul Skill of a power attack-type Soul Elder.

"Young master, how old are you this year?"

Ye Feng froze for a moment before answering instinctively, "I'll be seven in half a month. Why?"

"Cough, cough, cough..."

Dugu Bo suddenly began coughing, his green eyes fixed tightly on Ye Feng.

Not yet seven years old, yet already a level twenty-four Soul Grandmaster!

Was that even remotely reasonable?

After pondering for a moment, Dugu Bo gritted his teeth, pulled out a palm-sized brocade pouch from his robes, and handed it to Ye Feng.

"Young master, take this..."

Ye Feng had just landed. His Phoenix Wings turned into sparks and faded away, and he was stunned by the offer.

"Senior, what is this?"

"This item is called the Ruyi Hundred Treasure Pouch. It is an inherited storage Soul Tool of mine."

Dugu Bo explained, "The space inside is somewhat larger than an ordinary storage Soul Tool, and it can hold living things. It could not be more suitable for storing Immortal Herbs."

He had finally understood. He had guarded this Medicine Garden for so many years, thinking he knew it inside out.

Yet in the end, he had guarded a treasure trove without even realizing it.

If not for Ye Feng's appearance, he would never have known of the wonders of these Immortal Herbs in his entire life.

Seeing this, Ye Feng accepted the Ruyi Hundred Treasure Pouch without ceremony.

It felt warm and smooth in his hand, with a moderate weight.

When he sent his Soul Power inside, his eyes immediately lit up.

The interior was at least as large as a basketball court, more than enough for his use.

"Senior Dugu, you are very thoughtful."

Ye Feng tied the pouch around his waist and patted it. Then he walked over to several Immortal Herbs and began getting busy.

Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower could later enhance his flame abilities. Take it!

Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew could increase spiritual power. If he took it at level thirty, perhaps his third Soul Ring could even aim for ten thousand years. Take it!

Ye Feng only took the Immortal Herbs he needed. As for things like the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, Aromatic Silk Beauty, and the rest...

He did not need them yet, so he would leave them here for now.

With Ye Feng around, Tang San had already completely lost any chance of obtaining these Immortal Herbs.

At that moment, Ye Feng's gaze settled on an Immortal Herb that was snow-white all over and shaped like a swan.

Following Ye Feng's gaze, Dugu Bo happened to recognize the herb and immediately began introducing it.

"Young master, while I may not recognize these Immortal Herbs, I do know this one."

"This herb itself contains no poison, but every herb growing around it is highly toxic without exception!"

"Thus, I named it Poison Snow Lotus. It emerged from poisonous mud unstained, washed among poisonous herbs yet never became alluring."

Seeing Dugu Bo speak so confidently, Ye Feng nearly failed to suppress the twitch at the corner of his mouth.

"Senior, have you ever considered why the herbs growing around this... Poison Snow Lotus are all poisonous herbs, while it itself contains no poison at all?"

"This..."

Dugu Bo was momentarily speechless.

He truly had never considered that question.

Logically speaking, poison never existed alone.

With highly toxic herbs all around it, it was indeed strange that the Poison Snow Lotus alone remained untouched.

"Cough, cough. Actually, this thing isn't called Poison Snow Lotus."

Ye Feng cleared his throat and tried to keep a straight face. "Its real name is Snowy Swan Kiss. Doesn't that sound far more refined than Poison Snow Lotus?"

Dugu Bo's old face reddened. He stroked his beard to hide his embarrassment.

"Snowy Swan Kiss? It is quite an elegant name... but what exactly is so special about it?"

Ye Feng crouched down and pointed at the flawless white Immortal Herb, which resembled a swan stretching its neck.

"Senior, look. It truly is nonpoisonous. You could even say it is supremely pure and clean. But its property... is rather special."

"Special?"

Dugu Bo leaned closer, his green eyes full of curiosity.

"Simply put, it is a super magnifying glass. Any poison that comes into contact with it will immediately have its effects amplified hundreds or thousands of times!"

"That is why the herbs around it were not poisonous herbs from the beginning. They only gradually became poisonous after growing near the Snowy Swan Kiss!"

Dugu Bo's eyes went wide, and his mouth opened wide enough to fit an egg. "Amplified a thousandfold... There is actually such a miraculous thing in this world!?"

If his Green Phosphor Snake Poison could be amplified a thousandfold, it might even poison a Titled Douluo to death.

"Young master."

Dugu Bo swallowed and asked cautiously, "Then how do you plan to handle this Snowy Swan Kiss...?"

Noticing the longing in Dugu Bo's eyes, Ye Feng smiled faintly. "Such a poisonous herb can naturally only display its greatest effectiveness in the hands of a professional."

As he spoke, he bent down. His Soul Power transformed into a small shovel, and he skillfully loosened the soil and dug out the roots.

"Senior, I'll leave this Snowy Swan Kiss to you. Your opportunity to break through to level ninety-two may very well lie within it."

Dugu Bo looked at the Immortal Herb being handed to him and solemnly received it with both hands.

"Rest assured, young master. I will definitely make the greatest use of it!"

If he had initially lowered his head because of Snow Empress's overwhelming strength.

Then now, he had truly and completely given his heart to Ye Feng.

His talent was heaven-defying, his mind meticulous, and he even had an unfathomable protector by his side.

What reason did he have to refuse?
