Watching Ye Tian's trembling figure as he walked over, Dugu Yan couldn't help but look up and ask, "Grandfather, will he succeed?"
"He will."
Dugu Bo answered without hesitation.
"With such talent and such courage, he can accomplish anything!"
Dugu Xin realized that compared to Ye Tian...
He was just a coward!
"Yue'er, don't worry. Ye Tian isn't someone who would act recklessly. You should know that he values his life very much."
Qian Renxue held onto Jin Yue'er's arm, watching Ye Tian's retreating back as she spoke.
It wasn't that she believed in the two Immortal Herbs... but rather that she believed in Ye Tian! Ye Tian had said he would think thrice before acting - he wouldn't make blind mistakes!
"..."
Ye Tian looked at the Immortal Herbs in his hands, a relieved smile appearing on his face. After waiting all these years, he could finally consume them!
The conflicting properties neutralized each other, producing no reaction at all!
Without further hesitation, Ye Tian immediately stuffed both herbs into his mouth.
Instantly,
His mouth filled with fragrance, saliva gathering beneath his tongue.
A stream of alternating hot and cold liquid flowed directly into Ye Tian's stomach.
In less than three breaths!
Ye Tian's body began to tremble violently, but all he could do now was grit his teeth tightly, waiting for the medicinal effects to take hold...
Before three breaths had passed,
Ye Tian had become like a boiled shrimp, his entire body crimson red and scalding hot. The Taoist robe on his body directly caught fire!
In an instant, it turned to ashes.
Under the hazy moonlight filtering through the mist above,
Ye Tian's red buttocks, resembling a monkey's, were exposed to the air.
"Ah!"
Dugu Yan hurriedly covered her eyes.
"Hiss—"
Dugu Xin couldn't help but suck in his breath,
Thinking to himself, this disciple of the Spirit Hall Saintess was truly wealthy and powerful!
Jin Yue'er and Qian Renxue's eyes held nothing else—
No other thoughts.
Under their tense gazes, the ground beneath Ye Tian's feet began to frost over again.
Faint blue light seeped from his entire body.
Ye Tian felt his joints becoming somewhat stiff.
Blue and red colors continuously alternated across Ye Tian's body!
"Ah!"
Ye Tian couldn't help but scream in agony.
Pain—!
It was simply too painful!
But this suffering had to be endured. If he jumped down before the medicinal effects took hold, he would truly be destroyed completely, leaving no trace behind!
At this moment,
The power brought by consuming the Octagonal Mystic Ice Herb and Blazing Apricot Amorous Plant had already given Ye Tian significant resistance to the two forces below.
This timing was perfect!
Ye Tian staggered forward.
Finding the intersection point between the Frigid Yin Spring and Scorching Yang Spring, he slowly leaned down to fall in.
Jin Yue'er's cry pierced through the air behind him.
"Ye Tian!"
"If you don't climb back up, I'll eat all your pills!"
Hearing this,
Ye Tian's straight posture, just about to fall, strangely turned around.
Now completely without any privacy,
Causing Dugu Yan, who hadn't restrained her curiosity and was peeking through her fingers, and Qian Renxue, who was staring intently at Ye Tian, to both freeze in astonishment.
Jin Yue'er had been watching Ye Tian the entire time, wanting to carve him into her soul...
She had said,
That only Ye Tian could touch her body from now on!
Ye Tian had no time to care about all that—he just wanted to give Jin Yue'er the middle finger, but turning around was already his limit.
He didn't even have time to raise his hand.
He collapsed into the Yin Yang Well of Ice and Fire like a corpse falling headfirst.
Splash!
Red and blue liquids splashed upward.
Ye Tian's vision began to darken.
"Tsk."
Dugu Xin couldn't help but show astonishment, unable to comprehend Ye Tian's actions.
He muttered strangely:
"Brother Ye Tian is truly generous."
As his voice faded,
the impassive gazes of Jin E and Dugu Bo converged upon him.
"Uh—"
Dugu Xin's face stiffened, and he quickly covered his mouth.
The entire valley fell into silence as darkness completely enveloped the outside world.
Qian Renxue stared at the empty shore.
Her eyes fell upon the Green Pearl Wristguard.
The blush on her face gradually faded as she pressed her red lips together, remaining silent.
Holding the Herbal Compendium given by Ye Tian, she quickly flipped to the last page she remembered. After carefully reading all the precautions,
Qian Renxue walked toward the King of Immortal Herbs she had long awaited—the Lovesick Heartbreak Red.
From the moment Ye Tian had "gone to his death,"
Qian Renxue had already determined that she could never live without Ye Tian in this lifetime!
Yet she still wanted to obtain the Lovesick Heartbreak Red,
though her purpose had changed.
It was no longer about understanding her true heart, but about using it to convey to Ye Tian
her feelings!
The meaning expressed by Lovesick Heartbreak Red would be far more convincing than any verbal declaration—
wasn't that right?
The only thing Qian Renxue worried about now was whether she could pluck the flower.
If she couldn't,
then the flower's legends must all be false!
What so-called King of Immortal Herbs wouldn't deserve to exist in this world!
"Sister Xue, where are you going?"
Jin Yue'er asked while wiping her tears, hurriedly following.
"To pick flowers～"
Qian Renxue responded calmly.
Jin Yue'er inquired, "Which flower should we start with then?"
"This one!"
As Qian Renxue spoke,
she had already crouched down and carefully cleared away the surrounding soil.
By the time Jin Yue'er approached,
Qian Renxue was standing up, holding a pitch-black Dark Obsidian Stone.
"So beautiful—and it grows on a stone?"
Jin Yue'er's golden eyes shimmered slightly.
A slender stem was rooted in the stone held in Qian Renxue's embrace.
At the tip of the stem, several elongated leaf-like sepals supported slender petals that appeared dyed with crimson blood, forming a blooming, enchanting, and peerless peony flower.
Qian Renxue's purple eyes remained impassive.
Reflecting the image of the bewitching red flower before her, she couldn't help but reach out and gently stroke the slender petals twice, sighing in admiration.
"It is indeed beautiful."
Then—
Qian Renxue grunted, tasting sweetness in her throat.
Under Jin Yue'er's shocked gaze, she spat a mouthful of blood onto the flower's petals.
"Ah—Sister Xue, what are you doing?!"
Jin Yue'er rushed forward to support her.
Even Golden Crocodile Douluo couldn't help but look over.
"This is the method to pluck it."
Qian Renxue efficiently wiped the blood from her lips while staring intently at the flower in her hand.
The Herbal Compendium stated clearly:
This is no ordinary flower—it chooses its master.
When plucking Lovesick Heartbreak Red, one must focus entirely on their beloved in heart and mind. If there's the slightest distraction, even vomiting blood to death won't allow the flower to be plucked.
If forcibly picked, the Immortal Herb will lose all its medicinal efficacy.
However,
if successfully plucked,
as long as the flower remains with its master, it will never wither.
Qian Renxue gazed at the flower in her hand.
At this moment, her heart was filled with every little memory of Ye Tian.
From their first meeting on the sand dunes...
To the moment just now when Ye Tian revealed his wisdom to her.
There wasn't the slightest thing about Ye Tian that could make her dislike him.
"It moved!"
Jin Yue'er's eyes were full of astonishment as she once again understood the special nature of the Immortal Herb.
Following her soft exclamation,
the blood-red Lovesick Heartbreak Red actually swayed gently twice.
The corner of Qian Renxue's mouth twitched in response.
