Chapter 182 Crystal Dragon Blood Ginseng
Having captured a bunch of Azure Scale Nine Absolute Flowers that had already developed sentience, Su Yu froze them into ice sculptures using the ultimate ice technique without saying a word, and then stored them in his storage ring.
Having passed through the seven-colored poisonous clouds, what Su Yu saw now was simply a paradise on earth!
On the mountain wall not far away, the deep blue vines that had attacked Su Yu earlier were climbing all over it, making the entire mountain wall look like a sapphire shimmering with faint seven-colored light.
So this is where the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire is located. If this thing hadn't been taken away and found to be useless, I think Tang San probably wouldn't have stayed here.
The valley is not very large, but it is home to a wide variety of plants, and the colors are countless.
A variety of beautiful flowers vie for attention, and various plants are laden with fruit. Many plants even radiate varying degrees of shimmering light. Just by looking at them, one can see their extraordinary nature.
Su Yu thought to himself, if it weren't for the special nature of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, there wouldn't be only plant-type soul beasts here.
If Su Yu had found this place from the beginning and consumed the immortal herb like Tang San, he probably would have become a Soul Saint long ago.
Back then, Tang San was only ten years old when he consumed the immortal herbs. Without those herbs, the highest level the Shrek Seven Devils of that generation could reach was Limit Douluo, and there would have been an insurmountable gap between them and becoming gods.
Nestled among these plants lies a lake, clearly divided into two parts. One side is icy white, shrouded in a faint mist, while the other is fiery red, with the light subtly distorted across its surface.
The red and white colors were like two enormous pieces of jade inlaid there. The rich life force in the air filled the entire space of the valley with their vapors.
"The Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, I think what I need now is the Blazing Apricot Blossom and the Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass."
Su Yu took out the map Niu Tian had given him. The map was divided into two parts. The first part mainly showed the exact location of the valley within Sunset Forest and his way there. The second, simpler map, however, depicted the location of the book mentioned in the letter.
Niu Tian's only thought was to get that book, but as for what kind of book it was, perhaps even he himself didn't know.
Although the map was simple, the markings were very clear, and Su Yu quickly found his target by following the map's guidance.
According to the map, the target was the shore where the blue and red lake waters met. The map marked its exact location with a flower, indicating that the book was there.
It was a large, pale pink flower with no leaves. Its stem was nearly ten feet long, and the flower was extremely large, with a diameter of more than three feet. Each petal looked as clear and translucent as crystal. The pale pink flower swayed gently with the water mist and grew on the bank where the red and white spring waters met.
The king of flowers, the beautiful tulip.
No, it should now be called a fragrant and exquisite fairy product.
As soon as Su Yu approached the Fragrant Fairy Tale, a refreshing aroma filled his senses. He felt an indescribable comfort after inhaling the fragrance, and even his mind became clear.
Although he only inhaled a tiny amount, he felt as if his body and mind had been cleansed by the clear water, and he felt indescribably comfortable.
It truly deserves to be one of the immortal treasures that enabled the Seven Devils to undergo a collective transformation back then. If it weren't for the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, the Spirit Hall would have naturally unified the continent, and there wouldn't have been so many troubles in Douluo Continent II in the ten thousand years that followed.
It's simply a matter of recording it in the history books of the Spirit Empire: eight thousand years ago, an alien invasion occurred, and the Pope led the Douluo Palace in a personal campaign to defeat the alien race, thus ending the rebellion...
Don't ask why there's no rebellion, because the Martial Soul Empire will only gain a large new territory.
Based on the Spirit Hall's development practices, its talent recommendation system would likely have led to the development of different cultivation branches. Considering the Spirit Hall's extensive library and research on spirits back then, it had already surpassed that era.
As for Yu Xiaogang, he only benefited from Bibi Dong's fame.
My lord, times have changed...
"Human, it is your good fortune to be able to come here. Since you were able to break through the poisonous miasma, it means you have some ability. Tell me your purpose." A gentle female voice rang out clearly.
To be fair, Su Yu had seen many talking soul beasts, and even ferocious beasts that had transformed into human form, but this was only the second time he had seen a talking plant.
The first time I saw it was the Demon King, which looked like a huge tree; the second time was this beautiful flower.
"A 100,000-year-old plant-type soul beast?" Su Yu frowned slightly. Fortunately, he had followed the map obediently. If he had taken another route, he would have most likely encountered the volatile and fiery Xingjiaoshu.
A 100,000-year-old soul beast is a powerful being equivalent to a human titled Douluo.
Some exceptionally powerful 100,000-year-old soul beasts can even rival Super Douluo. The reason why humans dare not launch a large-scale invasion of the Star Dou Great Forest is because of their own conscience.
As of now, the powerful figures include Di Tian, Xiong Jun, the King of Ten Thousand Demons, the Crimson King, and the Hell Demon Dragon King Zi Ji...
These alone are enough to make the three great empires cry for their parents, not to mention that after leaving the high-end combat forces, there are also a frightening number of ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts in the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest.
"I'm not a 100,000-year-old soul beast." The petals of the large pink flower opened and closed slightly, and her voice remained gentle, giving people a very pleasant feeling.
"The Qiluo Tulip? That person left your roots ten thousand years ago, so ten thousand years later, you grew up again with the help of this Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire?" Su Yu asked tentatively.
"Huh? How did you know? Could it be that you are...?" Youxiang Qiluo Xianpin looked at Su Yu in surprise, her large petals trembling slightly.
Su Yu nodded. "Well, how should I put it? I'm here today to be tested. I won't go into the specifics, but I know him better than anyone else."
"Really? You're not kidding me?" Yuuka Kira exclaimed in surprise.
"If you want to know about what happened 10,000 years ago, I can consider telling you, but I don't know what happened to that person now," Su Yu said after thinking for a moment.
The large flower tilted its head slightly, as if a human were pondering something outside, and then continued, "That person said I'm a celestial herb, calling me 'Fragrant and Exquisite Immortal Herb.' You can just call me Youyou. Hmm, isn't that a nice name? Isn't it lovely?"
"Youyou? That's a nice name. My name is Su Yu." Su Yu continued, following her lead.
"Since you are the one destined for us, let your test begin." Youyou looked at Su Yu, a hint of reluctance in her eyes.
The purple stamen in the center swayed slightly, and an antique-looking book, made of some unknown material, appeared.
"I've kept this book for ten thousand years, I can't bear to part with it." Youyou looked at the book, her eyes filled with reluctance.
"Wait a minute. According to the rules set by that person, you have to eat a certain herb. That person said that if you don't die after eating it, it proves that you are the destined person he mentioned. If you die, it proves that you are not."
At this point, Youyou chuckled, "How about this, you tell me that person's story first. What if you're the real deal, and then you ignore me after you get the stuff?"
Su Yu smiled and said, "Aren't you afraid mine is fake?"
"How could a fake know my name is Qiluo Tulip, and also know that we are only ten thousand years apart?" Youyou smiled, her eyes filled with anticipation as she looked at Su Yu.
"I think it's better to wait until the test is over before saying anything more." Su Yu stood up and walked towards Youyou.
"You said it yourself, don't blame me if you die." The Fragrant Fairy Flower shook its large flower. "What should I feed you?"
The fragrant fairy seemed quite happy, her large pink flowers swaying back and forth. But when she saw Su Yu's nonchalant demeanor, she seemed to doubt whether she was overthinking things.
"Why are you looking at me? Is there something on my face?" Looking at Youyou's somewhat bewildered eyes, Su Yu couldn't help but ask. Was he too calm and unable to do anything to her?
The fragrant fairy shook its petals and slowly said, "Don't rush. It's normal for someone who's lived to be so old to have a bad memory. No rush, anyway, you don't seem to be in a hurry at all."
"Why should I be in a hurry? I came here according to that person's instructions, so what am I afraid of?" Su Yu shrugged indifferently and then said.
Just as Su Yu was speaking, a purple light drifted out from the stamen of the flower and landed on him.
Although Old Master Yi wanted to attack immediately, Su Yu stopped him. Otherwise, if Old Master Yi had used that necromancy, Su Yu probably wouldn't have been able to leave here alive today.
A moment later, the purple light receded, and the fragrant fairy muttered to herself, "I see. In that case, I'll give you that to eat."
As it spoke, another beam of purple light shot out from its stamen. This beam traveled an extremely long distance, spanning over a hundred meters, and landed in a patch of vegetation in the distance.
The purple light paused only slightly before slowly receding, and then Su Yu discovered an additional herb at the end of the purple light.
Su Yu knew that it was basically impossible for him to eat those top-grade immortal herbs, because they had all become 100,000-year-old soul beasts.
It was a ginseng that was about a foot long. The ginseng was blood-red all over, and the crystal-clear blood color looked like liquid flowing inside the ginseng. There was a layer of protrusions on the surface of the ginseng, which connected to form a special pattern. This pattern looked like a five-clawed dragon soaring in the sky.
Su Yu felt that he had seen similar descriptions of this thing in his memory before, and when he saw it, he felt bewildered for the first time.
What's this thing called again...?
She chuckled softly and said, "What, scared? If you're scared, you can go back now, as long as you don't tell anyone about what happened here."
"Youyou, how should I take it? Should I eat it directly or refine it?" Su Yu glanced at Youyou. Although he couldn't remember which immortal herb this was, he was sure it was the right one.
Elder Yi told him that if Su Yu could eat this, Su Yu's aptitude and soul power would definitely increase significantly within the next year.
Under the control of the fragrant and elegant immortal herb, the ginseng slowly approached Su Yu. "Open your mouth and eat it."
Before Su Yu could even circulate his soul power, the entire blood-red ginseng had already been delivered into his mouth by the Fragrant Silk Fairy.
Su Yu dared not delay and immediately sat down cross-legged, quietly sensing every subtle change in his body. After all, this was a celestial herb, and he couldn't afford to waste it.
A burning sensation spread rapidly throughout his body, and gradually Su Yu's entire body began to turn golden, as if a layer of golden luster had been sprinkled on his skin.
As time went by, Su Yu's transformation was not yet over. When the golden light slowly faded, his body was once again enveloped in an extremely domineering heat.
That intense heat was different from before; it felt as if every cell in his body was exploding with heat. Su Yu couldn't use the ultimate ice to suppress this heat, because if he froze his meridians as well, the effects of this immortal herb would be wasted.
"Looks like this guy's really daring; he'll eat anything and everything. Isn't he afraid he'll burst?"
Youyou looked at Su Yu, who had gained a lot of weight, and couldn't help but laugh. However, she knew that Su Yu was far from reaching his limit. If he really couldn't handle it, she would never let him eat that Crystal Dragon Blood Ginseng.
After the gold faded completely, a red light burst forth from Su Yu's body once more. From a distance, Su Yu now appeared as a crystal-clear humanoid ruby.
As Su Yu continued to refine the medicinal power, the swollen body returned to its original state, and a faint fragrance emanated from him, which grew stronger and stronger.
"It's a bit of a pity. If this kid were a Soul Emperor, I think he could probably level up five or six times in one go. But judging from the current situation, he'll probably refine it all in a year at most. This kid got off easy. Hmph..."
Although she didn't know exactly how much Su Yu had refined, after the red light dissipated, Su Yu seemed to have undergone some changes that she couldn't perceive.
"Hey, aren't you going to say something? Are you so moved that you can't even speak?" Youxiang Qiluo Xianpin asked curiously.
"Youyou, thank you." Su Yu stood up and bowed to Youyou.
He hadn't expected that the Qiluo Tulip would give him the Crystal Dragon Blood Ginseng. As things stand, it seems that Youyou has chosen the most suitable celestial herb for him.
Su Yu knew that although he had not yet fully refined the medicinal power after consuming the Crystal Dragon Blood Ginseng, the changes it brought him were indeed immeasurable by anything else.
A series to be completed in one's lifetime.
I'm updating this chapter to prove that both I and this book are still alive.
