"This thing does look quite pretty, but is this herb really as miraculous as you say?"
Though Nangong Wan came from a major sect, she had never really studied medicinal herbs. The natives here knew nothing of immortal herbs at all.
Had Meng Qianqiu not been a transmigrator who had awakened memories of his past life, he probably would not have known these great secrets about immortal herbs either.
No matter what, the Douluo World was still a fantasy world. Though it was known as the gutter of fantasy worlds, the opportunities it ought to have were by no means insignificant.
In this world, Soul Masters could also cultivate, climbing step by step to the very summit, ultimately breaking beyond the Titled rank and becoming gods at level one hundred!
"I've refined medicine all my life and know a fair amount about medicinal herbs. There are indeed some extraordinary medicines in this world!"
"But the classification of medicinal herbs is still very broad. They are roughly divided into mundane medicines and certain exceptionally rare spirit medicines."
"So-called mundane medicines are simply ordinary medicinal ingredients!"
"As for spirit medicines, those ingredients are scarce. Usually, they can cultivate into spiritual beings and then become Soul Beasts."
"Such herbs either belong to exceptionally rare varieties or have been growing for an extremely long time."
"In short, ordinary Soul Masters hardly ever get to lay eyes on one!"
"But I once heard that spirit medicines are naturally of the eighth grade, and above the eighth grade, there exists an exceptionally precious great medicine!"
"Soul Masters in the outside world classify it as ninth grade. It is what people call the Ten Thousand Year Great Medicine King, and its value is immeasurable!"
"But I've never heard of immortal herbs either!"
Meng Zhongqi slowly came to. As a deeply dedicated medicine-refining grandmaster, he had seen spirit medicines and medicine kings, but had never heard of immortal herbs.
"Grandpa, this is something you don't know!"
"So-called immortal herbs are wondrous things formed by receiving the blessings of heaven and earth and drawing in the essence of the sun and moon. They possess inconceivable effects."
"These herbs are exceptionally rare. Each has endured long ages and is a product of creation under the laws of this realm."
"Immortal herbs are neither mundane medicines nor spiritual treasures. They are miraculous immortal medicines found only in the upper realm, and grow only in special blessed lands."
Meng Qianqiu looked at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well ahead. This was the legendary place where the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings had fallen. The resonating presences of the two Dragon Kings had formed this small grotto-heaven blessed land.
It was precisely because of the nourishment of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings' vital essence that so many immortal herbs and wondrous things grew around the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
"The immortal herbs and spirit medicines here are only a little of what shows on the surface. The Dragon God inheritance beneath the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well is the truly great opportunity!"
"Unfortunately, the Water and Fire Dragon Kings fell hundreds of millions of years ago. Their divine cores were also shattered by the gods and are no longer whole."
"Otherwise, the inheritances of the dragon race's two God Kings would probably have appeared long ago. That opportunity would be truly terrifying!"
A gleam flashed through Meng Qianqiu's eyes. The inheritances of the two God Kings were indeed very tempting to him, but he did not dare take them.
After all, a true mighty deity was still hidden in the secret realm beneath the Lake of Life, in the core region of the Star Dou Great Forest.
Everyone had better not forget the Silver Dragon King. No matter what, the Silver Dragon King was still one of the dragon race's very strongest God King-level combatants.
In the world of the Douluo Continent, the Silver Dragon King's strength was enough to crush all her contemporaries. She could thrash a host of gods with one hand!
Once he became entangled in the karma of the Water and Fire Dragon Kings, he would inevitably come into contact with this mighty deity in the future. That was no good omen.
Develop quietly. Whatever you do, don't get reckless!
As an ordinary mortal, Meng Qianqiu only wanted to hold his fate firmly in his own hands. He had no desire to jump out and court death!
"Immortal herbs, huh!"
"This blessed land truly holds a tremendous fortune!"
After hearing Meng Qianqiu's explanation, Meng Zhongqi exclaimed that he had learned something new. The world was vast and full of wonders; his eyes had truly been opened.
"Old man!"
"How are you feeling now?"
Compared with the wondrous immortal herbs, Nangong Wan cared more about Meng Zhongqi's condition. She looked at her husband and asked with concern.
"Everything is fine. After absorbing the Nine-Section Jade Snake Emperor's Soul Ring, my Soul Power also broke through to Level 92!"
Meng Zhongqi spoke in a ringing voice, his face full of smiles.
"Level 92!"
"A Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring plus six exceptionally rare, high-age Ten Thousand Year Soul Bones only increased your Soul Power by two levels!"
"That shouldn't be!"
Meng Qianqiu shook his head and spoke in some puzzlement.
"Haha!"
"For Titled Douluos, each realm is a whole new heaven. You're still young and don't know the intricacies involved. Even at Level 92, there are differences!"
"My Soul Power has undergone repeated compression and has now become liquid Soul Power. I'm only a hair away from another breakthrough!"
Before becoming a Titled Douluo, Meng Zhongqi's Soul Power had been gaseous, stored within the Qi sea of his dantian, no different from an ordinary Soul Master's.
After he broke through to Titled Douluo, Meng Zhongqi's Soul Power underwent a qualitative leap, transforming from gaseous Soul Power into liquid Soul Power in one bound.
"Now that the cold poison in my body has been purged and I've broken through to Titled Douluo, I have at least another hundred years or so to live!"
"That's wonderful news for me too!"
Meng Zhongqi smiled. Even ants clung to life, let alone a powerful Soul Master like him. He wanted to live a few more years too.
"Grandpa!"
"If you want to resolve the cold poison in your body, I do have a method. It just depends on whether you have the nerve."
Meng Qianqiu looked at his grandfather. The Vermilion-Eyed Ice Toad Martial Soul carried cold within fire and fire within cold, precisely reflecting the dual aspects of yin and yang.
To clear away the cold poison and fire poison in his body, he only needed to consume the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the Infernal Delicate Apricot to eliminate this hidden danger.
At the same time, tempering himself in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well could also help Meng Zhongqi forge an Invincible Golden Body, further strengthening his combat power.
"What? You mean you have a way?"
Meng Zhongqi was stunned. Titled Douluos had long lifespans and could enjoy several hundred years of life. Who wanted to die halfway through that journey?
"I do!"
Meng Qianqiu spoke with ironclad certainty, then pointed toward the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the Infernal Delicate Apricot in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
"These two immortal herbs happen to be your antidote!"
"The Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the Infernal Delicate Apricot-these two immortal herbs are yin and yang respectively. Consuming them together can temper a water and fire golden body!"
Meng Qianqiu then explained, one by one, the methods for harvesting these two immortal herbs and the techniques for consuming them. Finally, he discussed the tempering method.
"What?"
"I have to jump into this Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and use its mighty power to activate the medicinal properties of the immortal herbs, then temper myself?"
When he heard the final tempering method, Meng Zhongqi's face turned green. This method sounded rather unreliable!
The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was a creation of heaven and earth!
Even after breaking through to Titled Douluo, Meng Zhongqi did not dare touch it lightly, much less jump in to temper himself.
"Grandpa!"
"Consuming these two immortal herbs can transform your Soul Power from liquid to solid, and also help you condense a water and fire Soul Core!"
"With a water and fire Soul Core, given your current circumstances, you can advance straight to Level 99 in the future, and even become a Demigod!"
"This is an enormous opportunity!"
Meng Qianqiu had not lied. Soul Cores would only become widespread ten thousand years later. Condensing a Soul Core now would be nothing short of a dimensional reduction strike.
Moreover, the water and fire Soul Core Meng Zhongqi would condense was not a single-attribute Soul Core, but a second Soul Core of Yin-Yang Complementarity. Once he condensed it, Meng Zhongqi would indeed possess the terrifying potential to break through to Demigod.
