Chapter 33 Two Immortal Herbs
Chapter 33 Twelve Immortal Herbs
After Qin Ming left, Tang San approached Yu Xiaogang and said, "Teacher, could you please investigate Lin Yu's background for me?"
Yu Xiaogang was somewhat surprised, but before he could ask for details, Tang San added with a grim expression, "I suspect he... is involved in the Notting City incident!"
Nottingham?
"You mean... that junior Soul Master academy gatekeeper who died at your hands?"
Tang San nodded, a cold killing intent flashing in his eyes: "Not only that gatekeeper, but also that female deacon from the Spirit Hall."
Yu Xiaogang's face darkened: "This matter is of utmost importance. I will immediately send someone to investigate."
He would never sit idly by and allow any factor that posed a danger to Tang San to exist; he would definitely investigate to the end.
……
Meanwhile, Zhou Yu had already returned to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
At this moment, he confirmed that Poison Douluo Dugu Bo was in Tiandou City and was heading to Sunset Forest.
He wanted to get ahead of Tang San and seize all twelve immortal herbs in the Yin-Yang Well.
"The Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire..."
Zhou Yu didn't understand anything about the Mysterious Heavenly Treasure Record, so he could only pick the immortal herbs based on the information in his memory. They were: Eight-Petaled Immortal Orchid, Dewdrop Through Autumn Water, Fiery Apricot, Eight-Cornered Mysterious Ice Grass, Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower, Silky Tulip, Heartbreaking Red of Longing, Narcissus Jade Skin and Bone, Extraordinary Chrysanthemum Reaching Heaven, Snow-Colored Swan Kiss, Nine-Grade Purple Ganoderma, and Fragrant Silky Immortal Herb.
As for other rare medicinal herbs, he was unaware of their medicinal properties and effects, and dared not pick them indiscriminately, lest he attract Dugu Bo's attention and cause unnecessary trouble.
Besides the immortal herbs, he also wanted to emulate Tang San and use the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well to temper his body.
Before refining the body, one must simultaneously consume two highly poisonous immortal-grade substances: the Fiery Apricot and the Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass.
To seek revenge, Zhou Yu must become stronger.
Tang San's father is a Title Douluo, his mother is a 100,000-year-old soul beast, he has the entire Clear Sky Sect behind him, and he has Shrek Academy companions by his side.
And what does Zhou Yu have?
Besides the second martial soul, one also needs to know the plot's direction.
Using the jade sword he had prepared beforehand, he harvested two kinds of poisonous herbs that were considered divine.
Despite having learned from Tang San's experience, Zhou Yu still felt apprehensive when faced with the prospect of ingesting two highly poisonous substances.
"As long as I follow the method described in the novel, nothing should go wrong..."
After hesitating for a moment, he finally took it.
Sure enough, in an instant, an icy blue light emerged from the soles of his feet, quickly spreading throughout his body.
Then, another layer of intense red light rose up, enveloping his body.
Beneath his feet lay the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire. Zhou Yu's vision went black as he plummeted towards the confluence of the frigid Yin Spring and the blazing Yang Spring.
With a splash, his body was submerged in the spring water, slowly sinking into the water.
……
Night fell quietly, and ripples spread across the tranquil water.
Zhou Yu finally awoke. At this moment, his body seemed to have been endowed with extraordinary abilities, making him unafraid of scorching fire or corroding ice.
"Roughly speaking, that scoundrel should be caught by Dugu Bo soon. We must get out of this godforsaken place as soon as possible..."
He quickly released his martial spirit and used his second soul skill, [Butterfly Transformation], to fly away.
Upon arriving at the outskirts of Sunset Forest, Zhou Yu was not in a hurry to return to the academy. Instead, he found a hidden cave in the nearby mountains.
He extended his perception range to ensure that there were no abnormalities within a radius of several hundred meters before taking out a magical herb from the ring that Sisi had given him.
This is the mildest of the eight-petaled fairy orchids, which can increase soul power by five levels after consumption.
Zhou Yu swallowed it without hesitation, then activated the [Qi Refining Technique] to absorb the energy contained within the eight-petaled fairy orchid.
Next is the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum, which, when consumed, can circulate Qi throughout the limbs, unblock blood vessels, and cultivate an indestructible body.
"These two immortal plants were originally given to Oscar and Dai Mubai by that scoundrel. He eats what others give him and makes them eat shit!"
Although the powerful medicinal properties of this immortal herb could not enhance soul power, they did further strengthen Zhou Yu's newly refined golden body.
The third plant is Narcissus Jade Bone, which enabled his soul power to reach level 40 and made his body lighter and faster.
"I'm level 40 now. I need to get my fourth soul ring to advance my cultivation level further."
After consuming three immortal herbs in succession, his soul power increased by ten levels in a short period of time. If his body hadn't been greatly strengthened, he probably wouldn't have been able to withstand it.
Zhou Yu walked to the cave entrance as the sky gradually brightened.
With the enhancement of his perception, he immediately discovered a terrifying and evil killer—the Human-Faced Demon Spider.
"The third spirit ring of this nobody was the Human-Faced Demon Spider, and he also obtained an extremely precious external spirit bone."
"Let's see if I have the luck..."
Having made up his mind, he immediately summoned his second martial soul—Barrett.
Zhou Yu spotted the human-faced demon spider through the scope.
A bizarre giant spider with a body diameter exceeding three meters and eight spear-like legs exceeding five meters in length.
Its entire body is covered in black armor, gleaming and shiny. Its long legs are slender at the front, and each step it takes silently pierces the ground, showing how sharp they are.
"No! Its size..."
This human-faced demon spider was at least twice the size of the one Tang San killed.
Just as Zhou Yu was lost in thought, the giant human-faced spider had already sensed the danger.
"Oh no, I forgot to use invisibility..."
In a moment of astonishment, the human-faced spider's eight long legs moved rapidly, even creating a series of afterimages, and it rushed up the mountain in the blink of an eye.
Its two front legs instantly rose up and stabbed directly at Zhou Yu's head.
This movement caused the Man-Faced Demon Spider's body to rise upwards, leaving its center wide open and revealing a weakness.
Zhou Yu instinctively raised the heavy Barrett rifle, its dark muzzle aimed directly at the head of the soul beast before him.
--boom!
With a dull thud, the bullet mercilessly pierced the head of the giant human-faced spider.
Zhou Yu never dreamed that this damn thing would run right into the line of fire.
The body, having lost its balance, fell vertically and crashed heavily onto the edge of the hole.
Zhou Yu reacted quickly, retracting his second martial soul and leaping backward to avoid being hit.
--call!
As the giant human-faced spider fell, a black spirit ring slowly gathered above its body.
"A black... ten-thousand-year-old spirit ring?"
Zhou Yu felt an indescribable shock and joy welling up inside him.
He himself had not expected that what he had just shot was a rare ten-thousand-year-old soul beast.
Absorbing a ten-thousand-year soul ring with one's level forty soul power is undoubtedly an extremely dangerous gamble.
Fortunately, his body, after being tempered to extremes by the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, had been transformed into an exceptionally resilient form. Coupled with the nourishment of three celestial herbs, it was virtually invincible, which increased his chances of absorbing the ten-thousand-year soul ring.
Zhou Yu immediately sat cross-legged and activated the [Qi Refining Technique] again to begin absorbing the soul ring of the ten-thousand-year-old human-faced demon spider.
