Chapter 100

Accompanied by a blinding red beam of light shooting into the sky, golden-red flames burned crazily on the Qiluo Tulip. It had clear despair in its eyes, but facing the only possible hope of life, it had no choice; only by doing this could it obtain a glimmer of survival.

Until the very end, the Qiluo Tulip transformed into a golden stream of light and entered Xu Jiujiu's body. Xu Jiujiu's soul power also suddenly began to rise. In this process, a skull bone emitting a faint golden light also drifted toward Xu Jiujiu, slowly fusing with her in the near-illusory flames.

Xu Jiujiu let out a muffled groan. Her original four soul rings—yellow, yellow, purple, and black—appeared in sequence. Her soul power was rising rapidly, and before long, it reached the bottleneck of level 50.

Crack—

Facing the Qiluo Tulip's cultivation of up to one hundred thousand years, Xu Jiujiu's level 50 bottleneck was clearly not much of a problem. With ease, this bottleneck was broken through.

Everything that followed was a matter of course. Shu Yan's prediction was not wrong; the Qiluo Tulip indeed had a huge amplification effect on the Star Crown martial soul. Under the effect of the Qiluo Tulip, the eighteen gems on the Star Crown martial soul shone brilliantly, and the aura of the martial soul itself began to change, slowly starting to evolve toward a higher level.

As for the seed left behind in the light and flames, it was held in Shu Yan's hand.

Snow Emperor observed for a while, then said softly:

"Jiu Jiu will need at least three days to digest this energy. During this time, how should they be handled?"

The "they" in Snow Emperor's words were naturally those few hundred-thousand-year immortal herbs that had been sealed.

Shu Yan turned back and said almost without thinking:

"It's simple, take away the essence they split off, and only leave them enough energy to maintain their lives."

"Sister Xue, you have also seen that these guys are not ordinarily loyal to that Sea God. However, their own value is also very high. Unless absolutely necessary, I don't want to wipe them out completely. After taking away all the essence and most of their origin, they will fall into a state of suspended animation. Later, during the process of them growing again, we can intervene early and change their memories or consciousness in other ways."

"As for those other immortal herbs that have reached one hundred thousand years of cultivation but have not yet developed consciousness, just pack them all up and take them away."

Snow Emperor was silent for a moment, then said:

"Take that Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass away directly. It is also of the Extreme Ice attribute, and it will be useful to keep it for the future."

After a pause, Snow Emperor added:

"For all ice-attribute soul beasts, unless a god descends in person, I am the undisputed ruler. Don't worry about any other trouble."

Shu Yan thought for a moment, and finally nodded in agreement.

"Then just throw it into the Undead World later. Anyway, with Bibi Dong looking after things inside, it won't be able to stir up any trouble."

Snow Emperor also nodded. The two were just about to take action when they saw Ice Emperor running over from a distance, holding a pile of all kinds of immortal herbs. The excitement on her face was undisguised, and as she ran, she said excitedly:

"Shu Yan, Xue'er, there are so many treasures here!"

Snow Emperor rubbed her forehead. When Ice Emperor arrived, Shu Yan took the immortal herbs from her arms one by one and couldn't help but be shocked. "This Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well is truly worthy of being a top-tier treasure land between heaven and earth. These immortal herbs have actually all reached one hundred thousand years of cultivation. Many of them didn't even appear in the ancient book that Chrysanthemum Douluo gave me."

Although he said so, Shu Yan still put them all into his soul tool.

After all, there were ancient books in the Qiluo Tulip's place that could identify these immortal herbs. If he remembered correctly, this ancient book should still be something Tang San left behind. This time, by "robbing," Tang San also inexplicably helped them in a strange way. Shu Yan sighed and silently gave a thumbs up to the Buddha in his heart.

However, after sorting through them, Shu Yan did not find any trace of the Looking Through Autumn Water Dew among the immortal herbs Ice Emperor had brought back.

His own physical fitness was already strong enough, and his Extreme Ice and Snow attribute was even more superlative. Although the immortal herbs around the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well were precious, there were actually not many that were useful to him. Even if many things were obtained, they would be used by the people closest to him. There were only a few immortal herbs that he could take a fancy to and that could have an effect on him.

And the Looking Through Autumn Water Dew was one of the representatives.

After simply describing the appearance of the Looking Through Autumn Water Dew to Ice Emperor, Shu Yan let her go find it, while he and Snow Emperor set about obtaining the essence parts of these few hundred-thousand-year immortal herbs that possessed consciousness.

The Scorching Glue from the Blazing Apricot Fragrant, the origin essence from the Strange Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum and the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower, as well as the Qiluo Heart from the Qiluo Tulip, and furthermore, the Swan's Kiss from the Snow-Colored Swan's Kiss...

Shu Yan and Snow Emperor just emptied their accumulations and took the opportunity to strip away a little bit of their origin power, letting them enter a period of "kidney deficiency" lasting about ten thousand years.

During this period, unless they obtained some great opportunity again, they would almost lose all combat ability. Many of them had their consciousness significantly affected, and everything would have to start from scratch, not to mention how they would stir up trouble in the future.

Shu Yan originally wanted to take a few of them away, which would undoubtedly mean a few more hundred-thousand-year soul rings and a few more hundred-thousand-year soul bones. But after thinking about it, Shu Yan still felt it was unnecessary and finally left them behind. These guys were already "kidney deficient" enough. After taking away their origin and essence, their cultivation had already plummeted. Now, whether they could even condense soul rings and soul bones was a question, so he'd better not think about those unnecessary things.

Another thing was that the life aura and environment here were too special. The growth rate of plant-type soul beasts here was several times that of the outside world. Like the Qiluo Tulip, a hundred-thousand-year soul beast that possessed consciousness, once it left the range of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, it would almost immediately turn into an ordinary plant-type soul beast, thereby attracting a heavenly tribulation...

Shu Yan knew which was better between draining the pond to catch the fish and letting the water flow for a long time. But at least, he would fill his own inventory first. Whether he could use it later was one question, and whether he had it was another. It was better to occupy it himself than to let others benefit. If there was a chance to use this to seek profit, wouldn't that be like getting it for free?

After Shu Yan and Snow Emperor finished dealing with these hundred-thousand-year immortal herbs that possessed consciousness, Ice Emperor also happened to bring back the Looking Through Autumn Water Dew he wanted.

After Shu Yan dripped the few drops of liquid from the center of its leaves into his eyes, its stem and petals instantly turned into fly ash and disappeared.

An indescribable feeling of cool comfort made Shu Yan sit cross-legged on the spot. Spiritual power and soul power surged happily through his meridians, and even Electrolux, who was closing his eyes and resting in the spiritual sea, was attracted over.

He sensed everything that had happened in the outside world, then lay on the recliner he had condensed, touched the Razor Mantis that had already "dog-ified" beside him, and said with some emotion:

"This little guy truly has endless opportunities. If this continues, he will probably become a top-tier powerhouse in this world very soon. Sigh, I can also be considered to have found a perfect retirement home for myself. At least it seems there won't be any major accidents in the rest of my life..."

And after Shu Yan fell into a meditative state, Snow Emperor went to the Cold Extreme Yin Spring alone. She looked at the spring water, which was like a deep blue gemstone, her gaze deep. For some reason, she always felt that there was something wrong under this spring water...

There is a little bit of secondary setting, which doesn't have much impact on the plot (I looked at the plot of Dou 2 regarding the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, and it feels like it's about the same. There shouldn't be any obvious mistakes, right? If there are any, you can point them out, and I'll look at them and change them) (Writing Dou 2 for the first time feels no different from writing a book for the first time. I have no experience at all, the content I wrote is very poor, and the results are also very poor. I apologize to everyone—) (End of chapter)
