Su Mo's Immortal Herbs

"Dong Er, I can't take this!"

Beside the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, although Su Mo was deeply moved by the Aromatic Silk Beauty Bibi Dong had given him, he firmly shook his head and pushed the jade box back.

Su Mo truly wanted the Immortal Herbs of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

But Su Mo also knew that Bibi Dong needed these Immortal Herbs more than he did right now.

And to him, Bibi Dong was not only his older sister now, but also his protector. Only if Bibi Dong became stronger would he be safer and gain more benefits in the future.

Thus, Su Mo decisively refused the Aromatic Silk Beauty Bibi Dong had offered him and pushed it back into her arms.

"Dong Er, I know you care about me, but I also know what this Immortal Spiritual Herb is. It is called Aromatic Silk Beauty, one of the highest-grade Immortal Spiritual Herbs."

"Even if you have already broken through to the Soul Emperor rank, Dong Er, this Aromatic Silk Beauty can still help you directly break through to the Soul Saint realm."

"My strength is still low. Even if I take this Immortal Spiritual Herb, it won't improve my strength by much."

"But if you take this Immortal Herb now, Dong Er, you can become a Soul Saint-level Soul Master with considerable influence on the continent in one leap."

"From that perspective, Dong Er, you are more suited to taking this Immortal Herb than I am. And only when you become stronger can you protect me better, right?"

"So please don't stand on ceremony, Dong Er!"

Looking up into Bibi Dong's beautiful eyes, Su Mo spoke with utmost seriousness.

"Xiao Mo!"

Hearing Su Mo's words, deep emotion appeared in the gemlike amber eyes on Bibi Dong's innocent and beautiful face. Unable to stop herself, she took Su Mo's hand in her fair Jade Hand.

Although most of her feelings for Su Mo originated from her previous life, discovering that Su Mo was so considerate of her made Bibi Dong feel even more that everything she had given was worth it.

Compared to Yu Xiaogang from her previous life, who had used her, turned a blind eye to all the sacrifices she had made for him, took her help for granted, and had never given anything in return—

Su Mo, who also knew how to care for her and think of her, truly moved her!

It made Bibi Dong feel even more foolish about her previous life.

She had truly been blind in her previous life, pouring all her love into the ungrateful Yu Xiaogang while overlooking the person beside her who was most worthy of her love.

In this life, she would never make that kind of mistake again!

After Su Mo seriously refused and explained his reasons, Bibi Dong ultimately gave up on handing the Aromatic Silk Beauty to Su Mo and instead let him choose several Immortal Spiritual Herbs himself.

Su Mo had also looked through the Immortal Herb Compendium she had borrowed from Yue Guan before.

Thus, Bibi Dong knew that Su Mo understood the effects of these Immortal Spiritual Herbs and should be able to select herbs suited to himself.

After receiving the copied edition of the Immortal Herb Compendium Bibi Dong had taken out—

Su Mo studied the Immortal Spiritual Herbs marked as growing near the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. After pondering for a while, he ultimately chose two of them.

"Dong Er, I want these two Immortal Herbs..."

Su Mo showed Bibi Dong the two pages depicting the Immortal Herbs he wished to choose.

However, upon seeing Su Mo's selection, Bibi Dong immediately furrowed her brows, looking at him with confusion.

"Xiao Mo, why did you choose these two Immortal Herbs? Neither of them can be consumed!"

That was right! The two Immortal Spiritual Herbs Su Mo had selected were none other than the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Infernal Delicate Apricot that Tang San had used for Ice-Fire Body Tempering in the original story!

"Dong Er, listen to my explanation. These two Immortal Herbs may indeed seem inedible, but I believe there are no medicinal herbs in this world that cannot be consumed. We simply have not found the right method yet."

"According to my observations, the reason so many Immortal Herbs grow here is because of this strange ice-fire spring."

Su Mo pointed at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and continued.

"I have observed this ice-fire spring for a long time. It seems to share the same attributes as these two Immortal Herbs: extreme ice and fire."

"So I thought, what if I consume the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Infernal Delicate Apricot at the same time, then jump into the center of this strange ice-fire spring?"

"Would the two types of extreme ice-fire energy erupting within my body just happen to cancel out the extreme ice-fire energy in this strange ice-fire spring?"

"If so, perhaps the neutralized ice-fire energy could transform into pure spiritual energy, nourishing my body and raising my cultivation."

"Dong Er, what do you think of my idea?"

Su Mo looked at Bibi Dong, a faint smile appearing on his somewhat stern little face.

"No! It's too dangerous!"

Although Bibi Dong felt that Su Mo's method was theoretically possible, she still decisively refused him on the grounds that it was too dangerous.

But Su Mo was not surprised. He merely smiled faintly and said, "Dong Er, I'm not finished yet. I know it's dangerous, but we can first test it on a Soul Beast or something!"

"A test?"

Hearing Su Mo's words, Bibi Dong froze for a moment. Then, a smile that was both cold and dangerous appeared on her still innocent and beautiful face.

This did seem worth trying.

By now, Bibi Dong's personality had long since become decisive and swift.

After finding a possible way to make use of the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Infernal Delicate Apricot, two Immortal Spiritual Herbs that were originally impossible to consume, she immediately went into Sunset Forest and captured an ape-like Soul Beast with a relatively humanlike form.

After feeding it a small piece each of Infernal Delicate Apricot and Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, she tightly bound it with the spider silk of the Death Spider Emperor and threw it into the center of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

As the group waited nervously—

Although the spider silk covering the ape-like Soul Beast, which had been forcibly fed Infernal Delicate Apricot and Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, was almost instantly dissolved and broken apart by the ice-fire spring water—

The ape-like Soul Beast ultimately emerged completely unharmed. Instead, its cultivation had increased tremendously!

Unfortunately, after this lucky ape-like Soul Beast had just finished rejoicing over its unexpected fortune—

Before it could become Monkey Aotian and return to Sunset Forest to build itself a massive harem, its neck was snapped directly, and it ascended to heaven on the spot.

But thanks to Monkey Aotian's sacrifice, Bibi Dong finally agreed to let Su Mo consume the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Infernal Delicate Apricot after he pleaded with her.

After consuming a portion of the Infernal Delicate Apricot and Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass—

As he prepared to jump into the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Su Mo looked at the well before him, which resembled an ice-fire taiji diagram, and could not help feeling somewhat wistful.

If possible, Su Mo would actually have preferred for Bibi Dong to consume the Infernal Delicate Apricot and Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass.

Because if Bibi Dong consumed the Infernal Delicate Apricot and Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass—

Not only would Bibi Dong's cultivation improve, but her body would also be greatly strengthened, and both her body and Martial Soul would gain immunity to ice and fire.

There was no need to elaborate on the increase in cultivation.

The tremendous enhancement to her physical condition would allow Bibi Dong to absorb Soul Rings with higher age limits, while immunity to ice and fire for her Martial Soul would also be an extremely important enhancement for Bibi Dong, a control-type Soul Master.

Unfortunately, Su Mo had no way to explain how he knew these things. Barely finding a way to make Bibi Dong accept his idea of consuming the Infernal Delicate Apricot and Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass was already the limit.
