A dragon dan is an energy body that a giant dragon gradually condenses after it has reached adulthood. It possesses the bloodline of the giant dragon and the power of its origin. It is specially used by a giant dragon to temper its spiritual sense. It can be understood that a giant dragon's dragon dan is like a human soul master's soul core, and is even more important than a soul core. To want to obtain a giant dragon's dragon dan, one must first kill it or have the giant dragon autonomously condense it before its death.
The current Huo Yuhao naturally could not absorb a dragon dan alone. But he was not alone now. He had a group of partners.
The greatest function of a dragon dan was to help a human purify their body and to improve the quality of their bloodline and bones. To put it simply, if Huo Yuhao were to directly eat a dragon dan when he was at the Titled Douluo cultivation, his body's strength would be about the same as a giant dragon's. Even if he were to continuously break through to the level of a Limit Douluo, he wouldn't have to worry about his own body being unable to bear it.
The Water Dragon King could also be called the Ice Dragon King. Ice was originally an extension of the water attribute and was completely at odds with the scorching fire attribute of the Fire Dragon King. For a human to absorb their single-attribute energy would directly cause their body to explode. For Gu Yuena to control the amount of these two attributes' release and let everyone absorb them was for the best.
Ten thousand years ago, the Tang Buddha had once, with the help of the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the Fiery Apricot Kernel, carried out an ice-and-fire alchemical body refinement. It was just that Huo Yuhao's partners this time were enjoying a higher-level version.
With the dragon souls of the two great dragon kings being absorbed by Gu Yuena, and the dragon dan that their remains had transformed into being taken away by Huo Yuhao, this Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well would also gradually lose its function in the near future. This way of doing things was to drain the pond to get the fish.
Although Huo Yuhao also liked to collect treasures, a gentleman loves wealth but obtains it in a proper way. He had to leave something for the latecomers.
"Don't worry," as if seeing through Huo Yuhao's thoughts, Gu Yuena beckoned with her jade-like hand. Two rays of light, one blue and one red, floated down towards the spring water of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
"What is this?" Huo Yuhao didn't see clearly what Gu Yuena had thrown into the spring water.
"The life seeds of the two great dragon kings of water and fire," Gu Yuena explained indifferently. "After a dragon lord has fallen, they will leave behind a life seed for themselves, which will continuously absorb the energy of heaven and earth. After several thousand or tens of thousands of years, they will be revived. During this period, the spring water will continue to maintain its former function. It has just become a little weaker."
Hearing her explanation, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but give her a thumbs up.
"Alright. Before I help you absorb the energy of the dragon dan, let's get rid of some weeds first."
After Gu Yuena had said this sentence, she walked towards the Fragrant Silk Exquisite Immortal Product. With every step she took, the aura of the Silver Dragon King continuously soared.
The Silver Dragon King, Gu Yuena, had never truly gone all out. She had long since surpassed the level of a human Limit Douluo. In order to avoid being targeted by the planar laws and attracting the attention of the Divine Realm, she rarely released her aura with all her might. But even if she had only released a tiny bit of the energy of the common lord of soul beasts, these immortal grasses around the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well would not be able to hold on.
They were not hundred-thousand-year soul beasts. It was just that their own abilities had reached that level. Here, because of the nourishment of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, for all plants to grow for one day was equivalent to an external object growing for ten days. So, they were generally only ten thousand years old, which could barely be equivalent to a hundred thousand years.
Huo Yuhao, acting fierce with borrowed power, stood by Gu Yuena's side with his hands on his hips. "Come on, first give me the book that Tang San had placed here to have a look."
"Mmm, it's here, it's here," the purple pistil in the center of the Fragrant Silk Exquisite Immortal Product pulsed slightly, its tone very flustered. A book that looked ancient and was made of an unknown material appeared.
"But, no, I've preserved it for ten thousand years. How can I just give it to you so easily?" The Fragrant Silk Exquisite Immortal Product said with great reluctance.
"Let me see if this book has been damaged by you," Huo Yuhao was worried about these idiot immortal grasses that had only lived for ten thousand years. They were facing a life-and-death crisis, yet they still cared about a book?
"It's nothing... that person said that this book can only be left for his descendants, for a fated person. And, his descendants must pass a test to be able to get this book. So, if you want to get it, you must do two things, to prove you are his descendant, and then to pass the test."
"Test my ass! Be good, let me have a look!" Huo Yuhao said and stepped forward, extending his hand.
"Don't!" The pistil of the Fragrant Silk Exquisite Immortal Product shrank. The book also inexplicably became smaller and was stuffed back by it.
And then it was hit head-on by one of Huo Yuhao's Ice Empress's Claws.
The voice of the Fragrant Silk Exquisite Immortal Product became aggrieved. It said, "This is clearly a rule left by that person, sob sob... he said that this is a paradise, and that it must not be known by bad humans. If you impersonate his descendants, then you must die..."
"Actually, it doesn't have to be so troublesome. He probably wants me to die right now," Huo Yuhao spread his hands indifferently. He had even beaten his father to a pulp.
"You say this is a paradise? When did a domesticated animal also think that it was in a paradise?" Gu Yuena looked at this flower with the eyes of someone looking at an idiot. This group of fellows who had only lived for over ten thousand years and had never been in contact with the outside world were truly pitifully stupid.
"We are not domesticated animals that are kept in captivity! This place is a natural barrier! An ordinary human simply cannot pass the poison miasma set by that person. It can completely guarantee our safety," the Fragrant Silk Exquisite Immortal Product argued on just grounds.
"Then can you go out?" Huo Yuhao couldn't bear to look directly. Even Gu Yuena had lost her killing intent. As soon as the Ten Thousand Demon King had broken the poison miasma on the periphery and let other humans in, this group of idiots would definitely be the kind to be tricked into willingly sacrificing themselves one by one.
"Not being able to go out is, on the contrary, a good thing for us. We were planted here by him and had a plan made for us. We can better use the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to improve our cultivation," the Fragrant Silk Exquisite Immortal Product said with firm belief in a certain someone.
"Hahahahaha..." Xie Huanyue at the side heard and laughed loudly. "My dad's military logistics also found a good piece of land and raised a lot of pigs. On normal days, they were fed until they were fat-headed and big-eared. These pigs really liked the feeder! Every time I went over to slaughter a pig to eat, the pig would run to the feeder to hide, and then it would be knocked out by the feeder with one stick!"
Hearing his strange analogy, Cui Yejie and the other few girls couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"You... you... you're calling us pigs!" The Fragrant Silk Exquisite Immortal Product shook its body frantically, seeming a little angry.
"Any objections?" Gu Yuena tilted her head.
"None," the Fragrant Silk Exquisite Immortal Product instantly wilted.
Huo Yuhao no longer paid any attention to him. His gaze turned among the various immortal grasses, and he soon found the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew.
In the records of the original novel, the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew was a medicinal herb that looked inconspicuous. Its entire body was an emerald green. What was strange was that in the center of the medicinal herb, there were three snow-white leaves. In the center of the leaves were a few drops of water, as if it were the dew left in the early morning.
Huo Yuhao took out a jade bottle from his Kamui space and put the few drops of water from the leaves into it. If it had been the original world line, Huo Gua would probably have directly drunk it.
But in this life, Huo Yuhao had learned the art of refining medicine. At present, although he had not yet obtained a fire seed, many of the medicinal materials here were recorded in the pill formulas.
For example, if he were to, like in the original world line, directly drink the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew and have his spiritual power greatly increase, but if he could not use it with all his might, then what use would it be? Would he just blow his own head off first?
Huo Yuhao was now suffering from the drawback of his spiritual power being far stronger than his physical body. His Divine Origin realm spiritual power could clearly blow the head off an ordinary Titled Douluo from eight hundred meters away. But limited by his physical body's strength, he could only blow the head off a Soul Douluo from a hundred meters away.
"You are too much!" A very dissatisfied voice sounded. It was also a female voice, but it sounded much clearer. It lacked the gentleness of the Fragrant Silk Exquisite Immortal Product but had a bit more of a heroic and vigorous taste.
A ball of red light also then lit up on the shore of the distant red lake. Huo Yuhao and his partners all noticed this large flower that had also made a sound.
The one that had made the sound was a plant that was entirely a fiery red. To say it was like a flower, it was not very much so. Its main body was very tall, nearly a zhang long. Its flower mouth's diameter was only slightly smaller than the Fragrant Silk Exquisite Immortal Product's, in the shape of a cabbage. Its main body was as if it were carved from a ruby. The moment its light had lit up, it had immediately made the temperature of the air in the valley rise by a few degrees.
Fiery Apricot Kernel! Huo Yuhao had immediately recognized this immortal herb through the description of its appearance in the original novel. Originally, the original Huo Gua was going to have a big fight with this girl, but the result was that he had been taught a lesson by the Snow Empress.
But this time... hehe, even in a one-on-one duel, he could also hang this blade of grass up and beat it.
The Fragrant Silk Exquisite Immortal Product hurriedly persuaded, "Ah Jiao, you should still say a few words less. The few of us are not their opponents."
The Fiery Apricot Kernel snorted coldly and said, "So what? In the end, isn't it still the crystal of our many years of cultivation? Even if I have to self-destruct my scorching gel, I will not let them succeed!"
"I don't have a companion with the ultimate fire here. Even if you gave it to me, I would still despise it. What trash," Huo Yuhao knew that this group of贱骨头 (jiàn gǔtou - literally "cheap bones," a curse for someone despicable or spineless) had to be dealt with in the opposite way. The more you despised it, the more worked up it would get. That immortal-grade scorching gel was also an extremely good medicinal material. Even if it were directly taken by a fire-attribute soul master, it could also directly refine their martial soul to the ultimate fire level.
"You... you dare to say my scorching gel is trash!" The Fiery Apricot Kernel had fallen for it. A ball of a fiery red, transparent gel-like substance immediately welled up in its flower heart. "Look carefully! My scorching gel is..."
Then she saw Huo Yuhao turn his head away and walk towards the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, which she had always disliked.
Bastard! Don't you regret it!
Being so despised, the Fiery Apricot Kernel was as if it had suffered a great humiliation. Its entire flower body emitted a scorching red light.
The next moment, an ultimate cold intent襲来 (xílái -襲 (xí) means to attack, 来 (lái) means to come). The Snow Empress glanced at it with the eyes of someone looking at trash. The Fiery Apricot Kernel instantly became honest.
The Snow Empress raised a hand and, without any politeness, with one hand probed into the flower heart of the Fiery Apricot Kernel. The feeling was like a beauty stretching her hand into the neckline of another beauty, and then fiercely kneading it a couple of times inside. By the time the Snow Empress's hand had come out, in her hand was already the piece of a fiery red, transparent gel-like substance.
The moment the ball of gel-like substance had appeared, even with the Snow Empress's powerful aura suppressing it, it still made the air slightly twist. It could be seen how terrifying its heat was.
"You... you don't take it all! Leave some for me," the Fiery Apricot Kernel said pitifully.
In the spirit of them both being of the soul beast lineage, and since in this life the Fiery Apricot Kernel had not bullied Huo Yuhao, the Snow Empress thought for a moment, used her fingernail to cut off a small part, and stuffed it back for it.
"Thank you, thank you, good person!" If the Fiery Apricot Kernel had an expression, at this time it should have already cried.
Good... person? The Snow Empress's delicate body trembled. Immediately, her gaze turned to the Huo Yuhao who was not far away, shearing the wool of the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass. If she could also be considered a person, maybe she could...
Having swept clean the crystals that the immortal grasses had nurtured for many years, only then did Huo Yuhao call his partners over and open the book left by Tang San. With Gu Yuena here, Huo Yuhao was not at all worried that the Buddha had done anything to this book.
This book was entirely snow-white. It was unknown what material it was made of. The book itself was soft, a bit like silk, but it was much tougher than silk. To the touch, it also had a faint, warm feeling.
There were no words on the cover, nor was there a signature. Huo Yuhao sat down cross-legged and opened the first page of this book—
"I am very happy that someone can see my message. To be able to pass the test of the Fragrant Silk Exquisite Immortal Product proves that you already have the qualification to read this book. This book was written by the Tang Sect's ancestor, Tang San. On it are recorded the differences of various immortal grasses and poisonous grasses, as well as some of the lost methods of using poison of the Tang Sect. After you have learned them, please leave the book behind, and you must use its ability with caution..."
"...Therefore, I have specially left the "Medicine Chapter" and the "Poison Chapter" from the Tang Sect's treasured classic, the "Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record," here. Only those who have passed the test and have an excellent character can learn them. To learn my treasured record is to be a person of the Tang Sect. I hope you will take more care of the Tang Sect. If you are unwilling to enter my Tang Sect, please return the book. You can also, under the guidance of the Fragrant Silk Exquisite Immortal Product, obtain an immortal grass here. Those who are willing to enter my Tang Sect also cannot pass on the "Medicine Chapter" and the "Poison Chapter." They can only be used by themselves. Be cautious, be cautious."
Well now, only when your Tang Sect has fallen into decline are you willing to take out these things you've plagiarized to show off, right! And you want people to take care of your Tang Sect?
Huo Yuhao and his partners' mouths twitched. However, some of the medicinal material characteristics and appearance descriptions recorded later were still useful. As for the aspect of using poison, Meng Hongchen should be very interested.
