Chapter 48 The Talkative Immortal Herb
"So—since you are members of the Tang Clan and have managed to traverse the Seven-Colored Poisonous Miasma to reach this place, you are qualified to gather herbs. Go in."
The voice of the Azure Phosphorous Nine Absolute Flower, with its 100,000-year cultivation, was deep and resonant.
As soon as he finished speaking, the thick poisonous cloud that had been looming ahead slowly shifted and parted to the sides, revealing a narrow but clear passage.
"Thank you, senior."
Lin Feng bowed slightly in greeting, then flapped his fiery wings and carried Tang Ya as they sped through the deadly sea of Azure Phosphorescent Seven Absolute Flowers.
At the end of the sea of flowers lies the towering edge of the valley.
The cliff face was steep, almost vertical, as if cleaved by a giant axe. A faint poisonous mist still hung in the air above the cliff, and various vines climbed all over the crevices and cliff face.
Many of them had already cultivated into soul beasts, exuding a considerable aura, but none of them had a cultivation level of ten thousand years, at most approaching ten thousand years, far less dangerous than the Azure Phosphorous Seven Absolute Flower Sea just now.
For Lin Feng, this cliff was not a major obstacle. His Nirvana Phoenix Fire hadn't been greatly depleted when he crossed the sea of flowers earlier.
"Xiaoya, once we cross this cliff, we'll reach the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire. Hold on tight."
"Mmm," Tang Ya replied softly, tightening her arms around him.
Lin Feng didn't delay any longer. He vibrated his Fire Wings at full power, carrying the two of them as they rapidly climbed up the steep cliff.
Sure enough, they hadn't flown very high when the deep blue vines on the cliff were disturbed. They attacked like countless tentacles, trying to entangle and drag the two of them down.
Lin Feng was prepared; his Nirvana Phoenix Flame surged slightly. As the flames swept over, the attacking vines curled up as if they had been branded with a hot iron, daring not to approach any further.
The two continued upwards, breaking through the obstruction of those annoying vines, and finally flew to the top of the cliff.
it's over----
The two stood on the edge of the cliff, looking down into the valley below, and were momentarily stunned.
If the outside world is a hell fraught with danger, then this place is like a forgotten paradise on earth.
Lin Feng dispelled the protective shield of the Nirvana Phoenix Fire around him, and the long-lost, incredibly fresh air rushed in instantly, containing such rich spiritual energy that it was almost tangible.
He and Tang Ya took a few deep breaths at the same time, and their nerves, which had been tense for days in the poisonous miasma, seemed to relax a little.
Seven-colored poisonous miasma, a sea of seven-colored phosphorescent flowers, a cloud of phosphorescent poison, and highly poisonous vines on the mountain wall—four deadly obstacles in total. The protection of this Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire is truly extremely dangerous.
The most deadly of all was undoubtedly that sea of flowers, which contained a poisonous plant with a cultivation of 100,000 years.
Donald Trump really went to great lengths—
If Tang Ya hadn't been recognized for the aura of Blue Silver Grass, Lin Feng, with his ultimate Soul King cultivation level and fire, would have been severely injured trying to pass through that sea of flowers, let alone an outsider.
The valley wasn't particularly large, but the scenery within was enough to drive any Soul Master crazy.
Various plants, both familiar and unfamiliar, grew luxuriantly, with exotic flowers and rare herbs emitting a pearl-like glow, and almost every plant was surrounded by varying degrees of soul power fluctuations.
Flowers that bloom in different seasons compete for beauty here at the same time, and fruits that should ripen at different times of the year hang heavily on the branches, as if the seasons do not exist here.
What is most breathtaking is the lake, the "Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye," in the center of the valley, nestled amidst this vibrant vegetation.
The lake is clearly divided into two halves.
Half of it is pure ice white, emitting a chilling white vapor; just looking at it from afar, one can feel a bone-chilling cold.
The other half is a fiery red, with the lake water churning like molten lava, emitting visible heat waves.
Ice and fire, white and red, intertwined yet clearly defined, resembling a vast and perfect natural tai chi symbol. The unimaginable primordial energy of heaven and earth throughout the valley originates here.
"That is—the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire." Tang Ya murmured as she gazed at the wondrous sight below, her eyes filled with awe and hope.
"Let's go down."
Lin Feng carried Tang Ya as they slowly flew down from the top of the cliff to the bottom of the valley.
Once they got here, they had to figure things out on their own. The map Mu En gave them only marked up to the Seven Absolute Flower Sea of Azure Phosphorus; the rest of the valley was a blank.
It seems that even this Limit Douluo has probably never truly stepped into the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.
Lin Feng gently put Tang Ya down from his arms, and at the same time released his spiritual probe, carefully scanning the vibrant yet unknown valley, and used his soul power to gently spread his voice: "We two juniors are members of the Tang Clan of this era, and we have come to seek medicine as agreed."
"I haven't seen anyone come in for over a thousand years. I thought all of you Tang Clan members had died out."
A slightly languid female voice rang directly in Lin Feng and Tang Ya's minds.
Lin Feng's mental detection instantly pinpointed the source of the sound.
It was a strange plant that grew on the bank where the red and white springs met.
It has no leaves, only a pale pink stem nearly ten feet long, topped with a huge flower with a diameter of three feet. The petals are crystal clear, as if carved from pink crystal.
Within a ten-zhang radius around it, there was not a single other plant, making it stand out conspicuously in this valley where all things flourish.
"I apologize for my intrusion, senior, is it the Fragrant and Exquisite Flower?" Lin Feng already had a guess in his mind. He took Tang Ya's hand, and the two quickly arrived near the strange flower. He asked respectfully.
"You Tang Clan members actually still remember this name, not bad, not bad." The languid female voice carried a hint of satisfaction, then added with a touch of coquettishness, "No need to call me senior, it makes me sound old. Just call me Youyou, it's a lovely name, don't you think?"
"Uh... Sister Youyou... okay." Lin Feng replied awkwardly, noticing that this woman seemed to be a bit old.
"Come here, come to me," said Youxiang Qiluo Xianpin with great interest, "and have a chat with me."
I haven't seen anyone come in for a thousand years! Tell me quickly, what's the outside world like now? If you keep me entertained, maybe—if I'm happy, I'll give you some benefits.
"Okay, Sister Youyou," Lin Feng replied, about to step forward.
"Xiaofeng, watch out for traps," Tang Ya said worriedly, tugging at his sleeve and whispering a warning, "She's an old monster who's lived for a hundred thousand years—"
"Hey! Little girl over there, what are you saying?" Youxiang Qiluo Xianpin's voice immediately rose, filled with obvious dissatisfaction. "What do you mean 100,000 years old? I'm not that old! I'm only 9,999 years old, I'm still young, okay! This place is a rare treasure land with abundant spiritual energy. We plant-type soul beasts grow very fast here, almost ten times faster than outside."
She seemed to have opened a floodgate, launching into a long, rambling monologue: "Besides, in the Douluo Continent, the cultivation level and age of spirit beasts are inherently disproportionate. The higher the cultivation level, the greater the difference—it can be dozens of times! Those wicked animal-type spirit beasts rely on hunting and devouring other spirit beasts to increase their cultivation; many of these hundred-thousand-year-old creatures are actually less than five thousand years old! We plant-type spirit beasts have it tough; we can only slowly absorb the elemental energy of heaven and earth to cultivate. Of course, this doesn't include those wicked creatures that prey on plants—"
"Stop, stop! Thank you, senior—I misspoke, thank you for your guidance, Sister Youyou, we understand—" Lin Feng was getting a headache listening to this and quickly interrupted the talkative fairy grass's explanation.
"Come over here and talk to me! Otherwise—otherwise I'll call those hot-tempered guys to beat you up!" Yu Xiang Qi Luo Xian Pin's voice carried a hint of spoiled threat, but there was no malice in her tone; she sounded more like a child throwing a tantrum.
"Xiaoya, don't be afraid, I'm here, we'll get through."
