Chapter 234 Tang San Breaks Through His Defenses! Things Shouldn't Be Like This!
The petals of the fragrant and exquisite fairy plant folded together and remained still for a long time.
The poison neither killed nor induced death. He stood by the pool, shifting his gaze from the poison to the surrounding plants that emitted fluctuations of soul power.
His expression was calm, but that calmness carried a sense of "I mean what I say" and a kind of oppressive feeling.
The silence lasted for about half a minute.
The petals of the fragrant and exquisite fairy plant slowly unfurled.
The halo in the center of the flower flickered, as if it were sighing.
"I understand." Its voice was much lower than before, devoid of languor and impatience, only a resigned calm remained.
Its leaves trembled slightly, and the largest leaf split open from the base, from which a thin booklet slid out.
The booklet was small, about the size of a palm, with a dark brown cover of which it was impossible to tell what material it was made of.
The booklet fell onto the rock with a soft thud.
Liu Yuan stepped forward, bent down, and picked up the booklet.
There were no words on the cover. He opened the first page and saw some densely packed small print and illustrations.
The handwriting was neat and the drawings were clear. It was a handwriting style he had never seen before, but he could understand it.
Poison Classic.
Liu Yuan flipped through two pages and confirmed the contents of the book.
It's not about planting or cultivating poisonous plants, but about the application of poison—how to use poison, how to detoxify, and how to fight poison with poison.
At the same time, the book contains very detailed information, including many descriptions of the effects of the herb.
Liu Yuan closed the booklet and looked at Huo Yuhao.
"You're looking for the Love-Sickness Herb, right?" Liu Yuan's voice wasn't loud, but it was very clear.
Huo Yuhao paused for a moment, then nodded.
"Come with me." Liu Yuan put the Poison Scripture into his storage soul tool, turned around and walked to the other side of the pool. "I also need to find some immortal herbs. If I find the Love-Severing Heart Grass, I'll give it to you. The rest are mine."
Huo Yuhao watched Liu Yuan's retreating figure, remained silent for a moment, and then followed him.
"Thank you," he said.
Liu Yuan didn't turn around, but simply responded.
Du Busi glanced at the two of them but did not follow.
He remained by the pond, his gaze returning to the plants, but he didn't pick them. He was waiting for Liu Yuan, and also observing his surroundings.
Liu Yuan walked ahead, the purple-gold light in his three pupils shining brightly.
His gaze lingered on each plant for a moment before moving away.
He first found an octagonal ice grass.
The grass grew beside the cold spring on the right side of the pool. Its leaves were dark blue with white veins, and a thin layer of frost covered the edges of the leaves.
The entire plant exudes a cool fragrance, and the surrounding temperature noticeably drops a few degrees when you get close to it.
Liu Yuan squatted down and examined it carefully for a while.
This eight-cornered ice grass isn't very old, around 20,000 years old, but its attributes are very pure; it's an extremely cold and icy immortal herb.
For Soul Masters who cultivate Ice-attribute Martial Souls, it is a top-tier supplement.
He plucked the herb and stored it in his storage soul tool.
Huo Yuhao stood behind him, his eyes flickering as he looked at the plucked eight-cornered ice grass.
His Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion martial soul is very sensitive to things with the attribute of ice, so this herb is also useful to him.
But he didn't speak, because Liu Yuan had said that the rest belonged to Liu Yuan.
Liu Yuan continued walking forward.
He found a beautiful, fiery apricot tree next to the hot spring on the left side of the pool.
This plant is the complete opposite of the Eight-Star Ice Grass; its leaves are fiery red with golden veins, and the entire plant exudes a scorching aura.
Its age is also around 10,000, making it an excellent item for a Soul Master with a fire-attribute Martial Soul.
Liu Yuan picked it and put it away.
Huo Yuhao remained silent.
Liu Yuan walked a few more steps and found a rare and precious chrysanthemum in a crevice of a rock at the edge of the pool.
The petals of this chrysanthemum are golden yellow, the stamens are white, and the whole plant emits a faint fragrance.
It is older than the previous two, approximately 50,000 years old.
This herb is effective in improving physical constitution and enhancing physical strength; it is useful for any martial spirit.
Liu Yuan picked it and put it away.
Liu Yuan continued his search.
He found the Narcissus Jade Bone. It was a small, pure white flower with petals as thin as paper, and the entire plant was only the size of a palm. It was about ten thousand years old, and its effects were to moisturize the skin and purify the meridians. It was more helpful to female Soul Masters, but it was also useful to men.
He found the Eight-Petaled Immortal Orchid. It was an orchid with eight pale purple petals and golden stamens. It was about 40,000 years old and its effects included purifying soul power and accelerating cultivation.
He found the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower. It was a red flower shaped like a rooster's comb, with broad, brightly colored leaves. It was about 25,000 years old, and its effects included enhancing blood and qi, and increasing the power of fire-type martial souls.
Liu Yuan searched faster and faster, finding more and more. His storage soul tool already contained dozens of immortal herbs, each a rare treasure that could not be found in the outside world.
His face showed excitement, but it wasn't outwardly displayed; rather, it was hidden in his eyes. His three pupils were constantly flashing, the purplish-gold light even brighter than when he had entered.
Huo Yuhao followed behind him, his initial anticipation turning into silence, and then into an indescribable sense of loss. He saw many immortal herbs, but none of them were the Love-Sickness Heartbreak Grass.
He couldn't help but ask, "Is the Love-Sickness Grass... really here?"
Liu Yuan stopped and turned around to look at him.
"What did the letter say?" Liu Yuan asked.
Huo Yuhao nodded.
Liu Yuan was silent for a moment, then said, "What's in the letter may not all be true. But since you're here, give it a try. If you can't find it, at least you've tried your best."
Huo Yuhao didn't say anything more.
Liu Yuan continued walking forward.
Above the realm of gods.
Tang San sat inside the hall, with the water mirror in front of him always on.
His gaze swept over every plant in the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, and then over Liu Yuan and Huo Yuhao.
His face looked terrible.
When Liu Yuan first bent down to pick the Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass, Tang San frowned slightly.
As Liu Yuan plucked the fiery apricot blossom, Tang San tapped his finger on the armrest.
When Liu Yuan picked the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum, the Narcissus Jade Skin Bone, the Eight-Petaled Immortal Orchid, and the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower, Tang San's hands stopped tapping and instead gripped the armrest tightly, his knuckles turning white.
Damn it!
Tang San said something in a low voice, but Titan and Niu Tian heard it clearly.
Titan lowered his head, not daring to look at Tang San's expression.
Niu Tian stood to the side, his lips moved as if he wanted to say something, but seeing Tang San's gloomy face, he swallowed his words.
Tang San stared at Liu Yuan in the water mirror, his gaze carrying something indescribable.
It wasn't anger, nor was it murderous intent, but rather a kind of frustration at having my plans disrupted, and the shame of being taken advantage of by a mere mortal.
"Things shouldn't be going this way!"
