"Demon!"
"You are simply a demon!"
The body of the Fiery Apricot Tree trembled violently.
It never expected that the human in front of it would be so cruel. It was like a Rakshasa God waking up to find itself ranked second.
Huo Yuhao looked at the immortal herbs around him who dared not move and said to the Fiery Apricot Tree:
"I'll give you two choices."
"First: Leave your roots behind and then jump down yourself. I can release a 100,000-year-old immortal herb."
"Second: I'll kill you.
The benefit is that you can die a very quick death."
The Fiery Apricot Tree finally said with a trembling body:
"Okay, I'll jump down. You release Youyou!"
Huo Yuhao looked at the Fragrant Qiluo Immortal Herb at the very back of these immortal herbs and said:
"No problem."
"I always keep my promises."
The Fragrant Qiluo Immortal Herb wanted to say something, but its extreme fear prevented it from speaking.
The Fiery Apricot Tree took one last look at the Fragrant Qiluo Immortal Herb, cut off its roots, and then jumped into the icy spring.
The extreme ice relentlessly eroded the body of the Fiery Apricot, its fire-attribute soul power slowly draining away.
Once its soul power vanished, its death would be imminent.
The Fiery Apricot endured this bone-chilling cold without uttering a sound, a testament to Huo Yuhao's incredible willpower.
The golden petals of the Qiluo Tulip trembled violently before turning away, seemingly unable to bear the sight.
Twenty minutes later, a massive scarlet soul ring hovered above the icy spring, signifying the death of the Fiery Apricot.
Huo Yuhao used telekinesis to retrieve the Fiery Apricot and the Earth Dragon Golden Melon from the Ice-Fire Yin-Yang Well, tossing them to the ground.
He then looked at the remaining five immortal herbs.
The Autumn Dew and the Ink Jade Divine Bamboo, realizing they were doomed, resolved to die and deliberately tore apart their spiritual seas, erasing their consciousness.
The Qiluo Tulip watched as its two brethren lost their luster, their spiritual power completely extinguished, becoming indistinguishable from ordinary, mindless plants—a normal 100,000-year-old immortal herb, not a soul beast.
Upon seeing this, Huo Yuhao said,
"A good choice."
"A painless death."
"What about you two?"
Both Qiluo Tulip and the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass trembled.
Qiluo Tulip's voice sounded like it was filled with gritted teeth and rage.
"Devil!"
"Evil spirit!"
"Madman!"
"Doing this will only bring that person's revenge!"
"He won't let you go!"
Huo Yuhao smiled at it and said,
"Baby, you're cursing like you're being coquettish."
"Besides, he and I are enemies."
"Strictly speaking, this place no longer belongs to Tang San; he probably can't avenge you."
"Choose your own way of dying; maybe I can grant your wish."
The mournful voice of the Qiluo Tulip echoed throughout the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.
"Two Dragon Lords!"
"Are you just going to stand by and watch?"
"The Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well is our home! For the sake of us being soul beasts, help us!"
Huo Yuhao looked towards the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, but there was no response.
The two Dragon Kings below chose to ignore everything.
"Looks like you haven't found anyone."
"While I still have patience, I'll choose a way to die."
The Qiluo Tulip laughed self-deprecatingly.
Ever since it learned of the existence of the two Dragon Lords' souls, it had been trying to control them as a means of protecting the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.
Unfortunately, gods are gods; even in death, their power was beyond the reach of mortal beasts.
It could only let time gradually erode the consciousness of the two Dragon Lords' souls.
It was estimated that their consciousness would dissipate on its own after about three thousand years.
In the end, the Qiluo Tulip also chose self-castration, tearing apart its spiritual sea, erasing its self-consciousness, and becoming an ordinary 100,000-year-old Qiluo Tulip.
Huo Yuhao smiled and said,
"I thought you'd end up like Liehuo Xingjiaoshu."
Then, Huo Yuhao looked at Youxiang Qiluo Immortal Item and the Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass.
The Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass began gathering soul power to protect Youxiang Qiluo Immortal Item, preparing to explode at Huo Yuhao.
Huo Yuhao looked at it for a moment, then had a sudden inspiration.
He used his telekinesis to tightly bind the Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass, then brought up his interface and took out the [Yilin Concentrated Potion (Special Offer)] he had obtained from the last lottery.
A syringe filled with emerald green liquid appeared in Huo Yuhao's hand. He
then looked gently at the Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass and said,
"Baby, don't rush.
Just bear with it for a little while, it'll be fine soon."
Then, in front of Youyou, Huo Yuhao injected the Yilin Concentrated Potion into the Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass's body.
This time, Huo Yuhao didn't use it all, only injecting half, leaving the other half for Youxiang Qiluo Immortal Item.
The Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass suddenly quieted down, its spiritual sea instantly splitting in two.
Just like when it hated Douluo, two octagonal ice herbs appeared in its spiritual sea, and then the left brain began to fight the right brain.
"If you come through three winters~"
Eerie music resounded in one half of its spiritual sea, and one of the darker-colored ice herbs joined in the song, proclaiming that Huo Yuhao's kindness was inexhaustible.
If it had eyes, it probably would have shed tears.
"Praise the sun!"
"Praise the passion!"
"Praise the boss!"
"The boss is the pillar!"
"Employees must know how to work!"
This consciousness, born from the concentrated Yi Lin potion, frantically devoured the consciousness of the normal Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass.
However, because only half of it had been injected, the normal Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass adapted to the attack and began to fight back.
Huo Yuhao watched this grand spectacle from outside, his spiritual eyes slightly brightening.
He used illusion magic on the consciousness of the normal Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass to help the other one.
With Huo Yuhao's help, the abnormal Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass cried out even more fiercely and then attacked the normal Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass.
The normal Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass, which was under the control of the illusion magic, had no power to resist and was gradually devoured by the abnormal Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass.
The whole process did not take long.
The normal Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass was completely devoured by the abnormal Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass, and the entire sea of consciousness became one again.
Back in reality, Youyou watched in horror as the demon in front of her injected something into Xiao Bing.
Xiao Bing suddenly stopped moving, and her spiritual power began to go berserk.
Once Xiao Bing recovered, Youyou actually sensed a fervor emanating from her—a fervor for Huo Yuhao!
"My dear master!"
"Your most loyal servant, the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass, reports to you."
"Could you transplant me back to Xilu City?
The filthy air here makes me nauseous; I can't wait to breathe the sweet air there."
Huo Yuhao nodded in satisfaction.
Although the description of this Yi Lin concentrated potion was outrageous, its effects were undeniable—a brainwashing marvel.
Yu Yu looked at the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass with trembling eyes and said,
"Little Ice!"
"Are you alright? Why are you..."
The Eight-Cornered Ice Grass replied calmly to Yu Yu,
"Yu Yu, I've been walking the wrong path all along."
"Until my great master personally awakened me, I realized that Xilu City and Passion are the true civilized world."
"Their plates are washed ten times over, and they can stop the operation of the Soul Guidance Factory to save a little bird.
The moon there is rounder..."
"We should reflect on ourselves and why we weren't born in such a civilized world and met the pillars of the great Xilu City!"
Yu Yu looked at the fanatical Eight-Cornered Ice Grass and said with trembling eyes,
"Little Ice!"
"Everyone was killed by him!"
"Wake up!"
The Eight-Cornered Ice Grass was very dissatisfied with Yu Yu interrupting it and said,
"A bunch of beasts, this is the teaching given by the master. In the future, they will definitely be born in Xilu City and see the true civilized world!"
Huo Yuhao was a little embarrassed by the rambling Eight-Cornered Ice Grass, and his toes almost dug out of the three-bedroom apartment.
Then, Huo Yuhao approached Youyou and said gently,
"Youyou, is that right? A nice name."
"Bear with it a little longer, you'll soon be reborn!"
Under Youyou's terrified gaze, Huo Yuhao injected the remaining concentrated Yilin potion into its body.
The large pink flower suddenly trembled!
Then Huo Yuhao used the same trick again, assisting the abnormal Youyou in devouring the normal Youyou.
"Master!"
"I understand everything now!"
"So what Xiaobing said was true! Ah! Xilu City, ah, the civilized world!"
"Stop, stop, stop!"
"I don't have time to listen to your endless praise.
Did someone leave a book here before?
Let me see it."
Youyou immediately stopped her incessant praise and took out an antique-looking book of unknown material from her purple flower stamen.
A purple pill also flew into Huo Yuhao's hand.
Huo Yuhao played with the pill bead, and Youyou immediately explained,
"Master!"
"This is the Youxiang Qiluo Immortal Pill! It's the essence of my 100,000 years."
"Holding it will make you immune to all poisons within a 30-foot radius!"
"Even if you're poisoned, as long as you hold this bead in your mouth, you can be cured!"
Huo Yuhao smiled and put the bead back into his storage soul tool; this thing might be useful in the future.
Then, Huo Yuhao flipped through the book, skipping Tang San's comment and looking at the contents.
This book was the long-lost Poison and Medicine chapters of the Tang Sect's Xuan Tian Bao Lu.
Huo Yuhao had no interest in the Poison chapter and directly flipped to the Medicine chapter, quickly reading it with his mental power, looking for any knowledge about the Eight Extraordinary Meridians.
Unfortunately, while the Medicine chapter did contain a lot of knowledge related to meridians, including explanations of various acupoints and some meridian pathways, it still lacked knowledge related to the Eight Extraordinary Meridians.
Huo Yuhao was somewhat disappointed and was about to toss the book to Youxiang Qiluo Immortal Pill when the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm in his mind spoke.
"Yuhao!"
"Turn to page 1005!"
"There's something there!"
Huo Yuhao didn't hesitate and immediately turned to that page.
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm began reading that section of knowledge using its mental power, then exclaimed with delight,
"Haha!"
"That old scoundrel Tang San didn't delete it completely!"
"This page and the following pages should belong to the chapter on meridians."
"However, this is a side discussion, not a direct mention of the Eight Extraordinary Meridians!"
"That old scoundrel Tang San probably didn't pay attention to that."
"Yuhao! Based on the meridian pathways described in these pages, plus our research on human meridians and our powerful computing ability, I can completely deduce the correct meridian diagram! Including the Eight Extraordinary Meridians!"
"With the meridian diagram and this book, I and Elder Yi can restore the original Xuan Tian Gong!"
"That heaven-defying technique that allows one to cultivate innate soul power!"
Hearing Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's delighted voice, Huo Yuhao smiled and said,
"That would be a huge win."
"With the original Xuan Tian Gong, soul power won't be a privilege for a select few; in the future, everyone will have to contribute Dream Coins to me."
"Dream Coins will completely permeate the lives of ordinary people, and the economy of this world will belong to us."
