The five of them swayed and returned to the outside world from the Hall of a Thousand Mirrors.
The surrounding valley remained vibrant, filled with the moist fragrance of grass and trees, and the unique atmosphere of ice and fire.
Nothing has changed.
But everyone knows that in another dimension, there is already an identical treasure land.
Dongfang Jing pondered for a moment, his gaze sweeping over the dazzling array of exotic flowers and plants before him.
"Let's go gather herbs first."
He wiggled his fingers.
The treasure is right in front of me, why not take it?
Although he has already used the Hall of a Thousand Mirrors to replicate the entire Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye, who would complain about having too many good things?
Even if you don't use them yourself, you can pick them and plant them in a flowerpot to display as bonsai in your villa, which is also very pleasing to the eye.
Moreover, Dongfang Jing was well aware of the true value of these immortal herbs.
If he's right, the opportunity here should be taken by the protagonist, Tang San.
It's no exaggeration to say that a single celestial-grade medicinal herb is essentially equivalent to a ticket to break through to the Title Douluo level.
Most of the kids at Shrek Academy would also benefit from Tang San's fame and get a share of the immortal herb.
Since I have been fortunate enough to get there first, I should naturally hold onto this incredible opportunity and share it with those I can trust.
We can't let our future enemies benefit from this.
Ice Emperor, Snow Emperor, and Wang Qiu'er had all read the records about the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye in the Xuan Tian Bao Lu.
But if we're talking about who remembers it the most clearly, it's naturally Dongfang Jing and Biji, who have memorized the entire treasure book.
The task of picking the magical herbs naturally fell to the master and his apprentice.
Wang Qiu'er stayed by their side, ready to take out jade boxes of the appropriate material from her storage soul tool at any time to help store them.
"Master, this is the Cinnabar Lotus, and the Snow Silkworm over there are both rare and precious herbs, the finest among medicinal plants."
"And over there are the Qiluo Tulips, the Starry Spirit Pearls, the Primordial Immortal Herbs, and the Fragrant Qiluo Immortal Delicacies..."
"These are the true divine treasures!"
Dongfang Jing's gaze swept over the magical herbs that emitted strange light, a burning desire flashing in his eyes.
Without any hesitation, they used special tools to harvest the immortal herbs one by one, following the instructions in the Xuan Tian Bao Lu.
Throughout the process, they were very careful not to damage the roots of the medicinal herbs, leaving them seeds for regrowth.
While Dongfang Jing and the others were busy searching for immortal herbs, Bingdi and Xuedi arrived at the side of that extremely cold Yin Spring.
The biting cold emanating from here is enough to make it difficult for ordinary Soul Masters to move an inch.
But for the two of them, this chill was not even as intense as the core area of the far north.
Xue Di slowly squatted down by the spring.
She stretched out her slender hand and dipped it into the icy blue spring water, closed her eyes, and carefully sensed it.
A moment later,
She opened her eyes, her usually cold voice carrying a hint of disappointment.
"Bing'er, if we can cultivate in this spring, our speed will be about ten times faster than it is in the far north."
"Only ten times..."
Hyotei pouted, his tone revealing his disappointment.
"Well, it's better than nothing."
Xue Di stood up and sighed softly.
"That's normal, after all, this Yin-Yang Well is a treasure trove mainly for plants."
"The scorching Yang Spring opposite is incompatible with this cold spring, and it also restrains us. If we accidentally get in contact with it, although it won't be fatal, we should still avoid it if possible."
Hyotei felt somewhat lost.
"If only we could find a cave of ten-thousand-year-old ice, that would be the perfect cultivation paradise for ice-attribute soul beasts like us!"
Xue Di shook her head, not holding high hopes for it.
"The Mysterious Ice Cave of Ten Thousand Years is only a legendary existence, and whether it actually exists is still unknown."
"We have lived in the far north for so many years and have never found a place like this."
Ice Emperor's gaze drifted into the distance, and she guessed, "Perhaps... on another continent outside of Douluo Continent, as Bi Ji and the others mentioned?"
Xue Di's gaze softened slightly: "Let's wait until my brother decides to go. If we can really find it, we can overcome our bottleneck and tribulation smoothly."
Upon hearing this, Hyotei's face broke into a smile again.
"That's true. But haven't we found a new way now? If my brother becomes a god in the future, we won't have to worry about the great calamity anymore."
"Yes, that makes sense." Xue Di nodded in agreement.
"Oh right, didn't my brother ask us to help him pick a magical herb? Which one was it again?"
Hyotei scratched his head, trying hard to remember.
Xue Di's gaze fell on the very center.
She strode towards that direction with her long, slender legs.
"This is a divine herb, the Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass."
It was a pure white herb, with its top resembling a large, octagonal white flower in full bloom.
In the center of the flower, tiny, sparkling stamens shimmer like ice crystals, yet they emit no fragrance.
Xue Di took out a specially made dagger given to her by Dongfang Jing from the soul tool she was wearing on her hand, and with a flick of her wrist, quickly swung it out.
A flash of cold light appeared.
The large, octagonal white flower fell to the ground.
In an instant, a chilling aura, even more intense than the surrounding environment, suddenly spread out, and a thin layer of white frost covered the surface of the other herbs nearby.
Eight-pointed ice grass, an extremely cold-natured flower, can make people feel cold and paralyzed in the central nervous system.
If an ordinary soul master were here, they would probably be attacked by the cold poison in no time, and there would be no cure.
Unfortunately, neither the Ice Emperor nor the Snow Emperor felt this bit of cold air.
Snow Empress raised her hand and gently waved it, and the eight-cornered ice grass that had fallen to the ground slowly floated to her front.
She said to Hyotei beside her, "Let's go, my brother said this immortal herb should be taken within ten breaths."
Just as the two were talking, suddenly!
Suddenly, Wang Qiu'er and Bi Ji's exclamations came from the direction of Yangquan.
Both the Snow Empress and the Ice Empress were startled at the same time!
Something happened to my brother?!
A terrifying chill, powerful enough to overwhelm the icy spring area where they were, suddenly erupted from the two of them, instantly freezing the surrounding air and covering the grass with frost!
The two figures flashed and appeared beside Brigitte and the others in the next second.
After realizing what had happened, they silently withdrew their terrifying aura, their expressions somewhat speechless.
All that could be seen was that Dongfang Jing's left palm looked as if it had been scorched by a raging fire, with the skin torn open and the flesh mangled.
Wang Qiu'er was anxiously protecting him, her beautiful eyes filled with heartache and worry.
Brigitte gently took her disciple's hand, a soft emerald light emanating from her palm as she healed his injuries.
Her face also showed a look of deep heartache.
"I told you to let your teacher pick those fiery apricot blossoms, but you wouldn't listen!"
"Is it better now? Does it still hurt?"
