Biodata
| Feature | Information |
|---|---|
| Name | Immortal Herbs (仙灵草) |
| Species/Race | Sentient plant-type soul beasts |
| Affiliation | Formerly the Icefire Yin-Yang Well under Tang San's rules; later Ye Chenxing and his portable plane |
| Status | Active |
| First Appearance | 64 |
Power Progression
| Stage / Realm / Level | Chapter | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Mature Immortal Herbs within the Icefire Yin-Yang Well | 65 | The Well's environment lets plants gain cultivation at an exceptional rate; ten thousand years of growth there can equal the foundation of a hundred-thousand-year soul beast outside. |
| Mass cultivation surge | 67 | Leakage from the Icefire Dragon Kings' source power raises the cultivation of the herbs by nearly one hundred thousand years in nine months; many previously unintelligent plants gain spiritual intelligence. |
| Veteran herbs near two-hundred-thousand-year cultivation | 67 | Aromatic Silk Beauty, Infernal Delicate Apricot, and other established herbs are pushed close to the next major threshold, bringing their heavenly tribulations dangerously near. |
Appearance
The Immortal Herbs of the Icefire Yin-Yang Well are an assortment of exotic plants with distinct colors, forms, attributes, and medicinal effects. The valley once appeared as a dense garden of radiant flowers and fruit-bearing plants surrounding the divided red-and-white spring, with many herbs emitting visible treasure light 64.
- Sentient herbs may speak through their flowers, petals, branches, or spiritual fluctuations.
- Their appearances vary drastically, from the crystal-pink, peony-like Aromatic Silk Beauty to the fiery, cabbage-shaped Infernal Delicate Apricot 64 65.
- Many possess cultivation exceeding one hundred thousand years, though the Well's unusual environment accelerates their growth beyond normal plant-type soul beasts 64 65.
Personality
As a group, the Immortal Herbs are initially insular, fearful of outsiders, and conditioned to regard unauthorized humans as enemies under rules attributed to Tang San. Their claimed unity proves fragile when faced with Myriad Demon King's overwhelming cultivation; Aromatic Silk Beauty immediately considers offering less intelligent herbs to save herself 64.
They become fervently loyal after recognizing Ye Chenxing as the Child of Nature. Their reverence is mixed with opportunism: many eagerly offer themselves as soul rings or soul bones, while their loyalty to Tang San's old rules disappears once Ye offers protection from heavenly tribulations 65 67.
Abilities & Traits
Immortal Medicine
Each herb possesses a distinct medicinal effect capable of strengthening bodies, repairing foundations, evolving Martial Souls, or granting elemental attributes.
- Aromatic Silk Beauty suppresses a wide range of toxins, though it cannot directly detoxify them 64.
- Infernal Delicate Apricot's Scorching Gel can potentially transform a compatible fire-attributed Soul Master into an Ultimate Fire wielder 89.
- Octagonal Mysterious Ice Crystal, derived from Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, can enhance cultivation, remake a body, and potentially grant Ultimate Ice to a compatible user 89.
- Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum nourishes the limbs and eight meridians, supporting an Indestructible Vajra Body and potentially helping a metal-attributed user approach Extreme Metal 89.
- Their medicinal power is most effective for younger cultivators and those with weaker foundations; it offers comparatively little benefit to Titled Douluo 89.
Accelerated Cultivation
The Icefire Yin-Yang Well greatly accelerates the herbs' growth.
- Ten thousand years of cultivation within the Well can produce the foundation of a hundred-thousand-year soul beast outside it 65.
- The herbs rapidly absorb leaked Icefire Dragon King source power during Ye Chenxing's nine-month seclusion, gaining nearly one hundred thousand years of cultivation 67.
- This accelerated growth forces them toward heavenly tribulations before they have time to prepare 67 68.
Collective Dragon Soul Summoning
The herbs possess a dangerous combined trump card: they can gather their power to awaken the dormant dragon souls beneath the Icefire Yin-Yang Well.
- The technique relies on the remnant souls of the Fire Dragon King and Water Dragon King 65.
- Ye Chenxing recognizes the awakened dragon souls as a threat capable of endangering even a Quasi-God 65.
- Aromatic Silk Beauty and Infernal Delicate Apricot consider using it against Ye and Myriad Demon King, but Ye stops them before activation 65.
Affinity for the Child of Nature
The herbs instinctively recognize and submit to Ye Chenxing after he reveals the aura of the Child of Nature.
- Aromatic Silk Beauty is the first to identify his aura 65.
- The other herbs immediately emerge from hiding and compete to offer their essence, soul rings, or soul bones to him 65.
- Their allegiance later becomes practical as well as instinctive: Ye offers them refuge from heavenly tribulations in his portable plane 68 69.
Known Members
- Aromatic Silk Beauty — A pink, toxin-suppressing Immortal Herb; initially fearful, but later acts as a spokesperson for the herbs' survival 64 68.
- Infernal Delicate Apricot — An Ultimate Fire Immortal Herb; initially confrontational and arrogant, then eagerly seeks Ye Chenxing's favor after learning he possesses Ultimate Fire and is the Child of Nature 65.
- Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass — An ice-attributed herb whose condensed essence becomes the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Crystal 69 89.
- Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum — A body-strengthening herb later given to Xiao Hongchen 67 89.
- Black Jade Divine Bamboo — One of the sentient herbs that follows Ye Chenxing into his portable plane 69.
- Earth Dragon Golden Gourd — One of the sentient herbs relocated with Ye Chenxing 69.
- Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew — One of the sentient herbs relocated with Ye Chenxing 69.
Relationships
- Ye Chenxing — Recognized as the Child of Nature and accepted as the herbs' protector and new authority; relocates them and the Icefire Yin-Yang Well into his portable plane 65 68 69.
- Myriad Demon King — A vastly stronger plant-type ferocious beast who intimidates the herbs, defeats Infernal Delicate Apricot, and later serves as Ye's protector 64 65.
- Fire Dragon King and Water Dragon King — The original masters whose remains created the Icefire Yin-Yang Well; the herbs' joint trump card draws on their dormant dragon souls 65 66 67.
- Tang San — His old rules lead the herbs to treat most human intruders as enemies, though the herbs abandon that loyalty once Ye offers them safety and protection 64 65 67.
Story Role / Major Arcs
Discovery of the Icefire Yin-Yang Well
Ye Chenxing and Myriad Demon King enter Sunset Forest, pass through the poisonous perimeter, and discover the Icefire Yin-Yang Well and its Immortal Herb garden. Aromatic Silk Beauty confronts them first, invoking the herbs' shared rules and Tang San's authority 63 64.
Recognition of the Child of Nature
After Myriad Demon King defeats Infernal Delicate Apricot and the herbs consider awakening the Dragon Kings, Ye reveals the Child of Nature aura. The herbs' hostility turns into immediate reverence and competition for his favor 65.
Dragon King Source-Power Crisis
Ye awakens the Dragon Kings' remnant consciousnesses and absorbs their remains through the Fantasy Tree. The resulting source-power leakage rapidly advances the Immortal Herbs' cultivation, but leaves many facing imminent heavenly tribulations 66 67.
Relocation into the Portable Plane
Ye offers the herbs a choice: remain in the fading valley or enter his portable plane under his protection and arrangements. The herbs choose to follow him, after which Ye transfers the entire Icefire Yin-Yang Well into the plane and leaves the original valley barren 68 69.
Distribution as Cultivation Resources
Ye later uses selected Immortal Herb treasures to improve his allies. Meng Hongchen receives the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Crystal and Infernal Delicate Apricot's Scorching Gel, while Xiao Hongchen receives the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum 89. Their absorption evolves their Martial Souls and repairs foundation instability 94.
Trivia
- The herbs initially insist they are united under Tang San's rules, but their loyalty rapidly shifts when Ye Chenxing can protect them from heavenly tribulations 64 67.
- Aromatic Silk Beauty is disappointed when Ye does not choose it as a soul ring, then forces its way into the group entering his portable plane 69.
- The Immortal Herbs describe Ye's portable plane as resembling a star-filled sky and possessing a dense Child of Nature aura 69.
