Chapter 50: Entering the Spring

After obtaining the Resurrection Rune Fragment, Ning Feiliu learned of the effects of this rune fragment.

It enhances healing, shields, and defensive capabilities by one hundred percent; if the wearer's current status is below forty percent, this enhancement effect increases to two hundred percent!

As expected... the true World Rune, even a fragment that looks like only about one-third of the whole, possesses power far beyond the effects seen in the game.

In the real world, this incomplete Resurrection Rune is enough to turn an ordinary healing-type Spirit Master into an unparalleled Medical Saint!

Thinking about it carefully, if this rune were given to Ye Lingling's father, Ye Tianxin, then Ye Tianxin might truly become a Medical Saint reborn, capable of bringing the dead back to life and regrowing flesh on bones!

Ning Feiliu does have the ability to transfer this incomplete rune, but he certainly would not transfer this incomplete rune casually.

"Many thanks for your guidance, Senior." After feeling the powerful might emanating from the incomplete Resurrection Rune within his body, Ning Feiliu first turned to thank Dugu Bo.

"Hmph!" Dugu Bo waved his hand, though he had also gained much after reading the "Treatise on Alchemy and Pharmacology" authored by Ning Feiliu.

This "Treatise on Alchemy and Pharmacology" by Ning Feiliu was written based on his experience in alchemy and chemistry, with the main content being the active ingredients he had extracted from various medicinal herbs over the past half-year.

The names of the active ingredients, their appearance, how to extract them, and what their effects are, and so on.

Therefore, after Dugu Bo looked through it, these were equivalent to new knowledge, which naturally benefited him greatly.

"Then you just said there was a second request?" Dugu Bo said, "Speak quickly."

"My second request is..." Ning Feiliu said solemnly, "After I succeed, I also want to take away eight Immortal Herbs from here—Strange Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone, Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid, Silk Velvet Fragrant Immortal, Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower, Qiluo Tulip, Looking Through Autumn Water Dew, and... Lovesick Heartbroken Red."

Why leave them for that group of people he didn't know, the Shrek Seven Devils?

He even felt that it would be fine to let Dugu Yan consume one of the Immortal Grade Herbs.

In the original story, he was a free-spirited character, especially casual toward those close to him.

"Alright, alright, can you start now? Or do you have to wait until the next day?" Dugu Bo waved his hand and asked.

This is precisely the key to ensuring that he can successfully absorb the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the Blazing Apricot Delicate upon entering the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

And the reason Ning Feiliu wants to take away the Immortal Grade Herbs that the Shrek Seven Devils consumed in the original story is purely because these Immortal Herbs possess extremely powerful medicinal effects.

For example, the relatively neutral Strange Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone, or the Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid.

"Are there still eight Immortal Herbs here?" Dugu Bo was stunned for a moment. He thought about it for a moment, then waved his hand, "Forget it, if you can really cure the poison on my body, what if you take all the herbs in this Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well?"

He had already planned all of this when Dugu Bo appeared.

Although Ning Feiliu does not approve of San Ge's character, that has nothing to do with him.

Coupled with the healing bonus of the incomplete Resurrection Rune, even though his cultivation is currently only that of a Spirit Master, and he does not have the protection of Mysterious Jade Hand and Mysterious Heaven Skill like Tang San, he is confident that he can absorb the two Immortal Herbs, the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the Blazing Apricot Delicate, within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well!

The Moonlight Breathing Method not only has the ability to speed up his cultivation, but it can also accelerate the recovery of physical injuries.

Ning Feiliu will not take the initiative to be an enemy of others, nor will he provoke others.

Even if he cannot consume them all by himself, he can store them away for other uses in the future.

Do not misunderstand; he has no intention of targeting Tang San and the Shrek Seven Devils.

"Many thanks, Senior." Ning Feiliu said with a smile.

Unless others provoke him, or it is a matter of interest.

"No..." Ning Feiliu looked up at the full moon emitting a soft, clear radiance above the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and said with a smile, "This moment is the best time!"

Or if a non-fire-attribute Spirit Master consumes something like the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower, there will be a danger to their life.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have let Tang San take all the herbs from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, and later, even the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well itself seemed to become Tang San's.

After all, these few Immortal Herbs do not seem to have the effect of suppressing all poisons like the Silk Velvet Fragrant Immortal.

After negotiating everything, Ning Feiliu walked directly to a white medicinal herb.

The top of that white medicinal herb looked like a large white flower, octagonal in shape, with its center shimmering like ice crystals with tiny stamens. There was no fragrance, and its location was exactly the center point on the side of the Cold Extreme Yin Spring.

It was precisely the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass!

And Ning Feiliu also remembered that in the original story, this Immortal Herb required a gold or iron object to be picked, so he drew the dagger he had prepared long ago, and just as he was about to cut it...

The light before his eyes suddenly distorted again...

Suddenly, a line of small, very familiar characters appeared above the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass—

【Consume the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, survive, and obtain the blessing of the Ice and Snow Demigod.】

Can this... also trigger a quest?

This was something Ning Feiliu had not expected. This blessing of the Ice and Snow Demigod... a Demigod, and ice and snow, besides the Ice Bird in League of Legends, who else could it be?

Although he did not know what effect this blessing had, but...

It didn't sound like there were any downsides, and so far, his "cheat" had never produced an unfavorable reward.

Ning Feiliu took a deep breath, and if he hadn't guessed wrong.

Would the other Immortal Herb, the Blazing Apricot Delicate, also trigger a quest?

Ning Feiliu then stopped hesitating; after all, even if he didn't want this blessing of the Ice and Snow Demigod, he still had to obtain the 【Crescent Moon Spirit Group Forging Method】.

And to complete the quest for the Crescent Moon Spirit Group Forging Method, he had to withstand the spring water inside the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well for one hour without dying.

Therefore, he had to consume the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the Blazing Apricot Delicate!

Ning Feiliu first accepted the clear radiance of the moon in the sky. At this moment, he operated the Moonlight Breathing Method. After feeling the moonlight gathering on his body, he immediately swung the dagger in his hand at high speed, while his body flashed backward rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, he was several meters away.

Sure enough, where the cold light of the dagger passed, the large octagonal white flower fell to the ground, landing among the herbs. In an instant, a burst of cold air permeated out, and a thin layer of white frost covered the surrounding herbs.

Only then did Ning Feiliu go to pick up the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, but as he picked it up, intense pain struck him.

The boundless cold from the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass seemed to be about to completely freeze his vitality.

But at this very moment... the Moonlight Breathing Method spun crazily, and the erupting life force and soul power directly and continuously resisted this terrifying chill, maintaining his meager vitality.

But that terrifying chill still kept attacking, as if it wanted to completely freeze Ning Feiliu's weak vitality.

Just at this moment...

The green incomplete rune inside Ning Feiliu's body emitted what seemed like endless vitality. The incomplete Resurrection Rune exerted a powerful effect when Ning Feiliu's current status fell below forty percent!

Instantly, the soul power and life force within his body surged like a great river, resisting the terrifying chill of the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass.

It was just that his hands still showed black frostbite-like marks, but very quickly, vigorous life force rapidly repaired the injuries on his hands.

It was only that the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass continued to emit cold air, constantly frostbiting his palms.

Just like this, he circulated the Moonlight Breathing Method in coordination with the incomplete Revitalization Rune, constantly repairing the frostbite on his palms, while the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass kept continuously emitting cold air to frostbite his palms again.

This recovery process was just like torture.

Just like this, Ning Feiliu held the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and arrived beside another fire-red medicinal herb.

This plant, which looked like a cabbage but was entirely fire-red, was precisely the Blazing Apricot Delicate.

And just like the one before, above the Blazing Apricot Delicate, a line of small text appeared as well—

【Consume the Blazing Apricot Delicate; if you do not die, you will receive the blessing of the Forged Demigod.】
