One of the medicinal herbs was a large chrysanthemum. The chrysanthemum was a magnificent purple, and the entire flower was seamless, yet no fragrance spilled out. The central stamen was half a foot taller than the petals, and the tip of the stamen shone with a faint golden light.
The other medicinal herb was a white, crystal-clear flower-grass, looking like a flawless white lotus, with its stems and leaves exhibiting a faint jade color.
Looking at the chrysanthemum and the narcissus floating before him, Wang Lin naturally recognized these two immortal herbs as the Strange Velvet Sky-Controlling Chrysanthemum and the Jade Tendon-Nourishing Bone Narcissus, respectively.
The former, upon consumption, circulated vital energy through the four limbs and cleared the eight extraordinary meridians, allowing one to cultivate an indestructible physique. The latter moistened the tendons and nourished the bones, also circulating vital energy through the eight extraordinary meridians.
In short, both had the effect of strengthening the physical body. The difference was probably that the former was faster-acting and more potent, while the latter's medicinal properties were gentler.
"Choose one yourself!" Youyou saw Wang Lin spacing out and urged him.
"I choose that chrysanthemum." Wang Lin made his choice without much hesitation. Since he was going to move the entire Eye of Ice and Fire, choosing either one was the same, and there was no rule stating that only one immortal herb could be consumed.
The Strange Velvet Sky-Controlling Chrysanthemum was fast-acting and had a more obvious effect on physical strengthening. Since Wang Lin was also about to break through to Level 40, he might as well choose one that was better for physical strengthening.
"Good!" Purple light flashed around Youyou. The purple light enveloped the other immortal herb, taking it back to the plant cluster.
"But before that, I have a question for you: what is your purpose in coming to our Eye of Ice and Fire?"
To prepare to move the entire Eye of Ice and Fire away, of course.
Wang Lin muttered inwardly and casually fabricated a reason: "I need the Lovesick Heartbroken Red to help my master verify his feelings."
"That's more like it." Youyou nodded. "Don't move. Open your mouth."
Purple light flashed. The floating Strange Velvet Sky-Controlling Chrysanthemum broke off at the junction of the stem and petals. The purple stamen flew out first, and under Youyou's control, flew into Wang Lin's mouth.
A faint chrysanthemum fragrance exploded on his taste buds. An inexplicable aura instantly spread from his mouth to his entire body. Wang Lin could feel the blood in his entire body's blood vessels starting to accelerate its flow.
A feeling of complete relaxation and comfort immediately spread throughout his body, but Wang Lin's brows furrowed slightly. Did this Strange Velvet Sky-Controlling Chrysanthemum not get washed!
Before Wang Lin could think further, the petals of the Strange Velvet Sky-Controlling Chrysanthemum flew into his mouth one by one under Youyou's control.
After consuming the immortal herb, Wang Lin sat cross-legged, circulating his soul power to refine the medicinal power of the Strange Velvet Sky-Controlling Chrysanthemum.
Under the catalysis of the medicinal power, a faint chrysanthemum fragrance permeated Wang Lin's entire body. Invisible golden light circulated on his body surface, and simple golden patterns emerged.
What no one noticed was that beneath his clothing, the simple patterns originally belonging to the Ice Silkworm Shedding in the center of Wang Lin's chest began to slowly change.
The golden patterns on his chest seemed to come alive, slowly forming a chrysanthemum pattern. The appearance of that chrysanthemum was exactly the same as the Strange Velvet Sky-Controlling Chrysanthemum.
Not long after, all the unusual phenomena disappeared. Wang Lin suddenly opened his eyes. A powerful aura permeated from his body. He stood up, and his entire body instantly released crackling sounds.
For some unknown reason, Wang Lin felt that his absorption of this immortal herb seemed very easy, and there didn't seem to be any major change in his physical body. Thinking this, he raised his hand and threw a punch.
Swish!
A tearing sound of air resonated. Wang Lin reached out and pinched his own muscles. They were indeed much firmer than before, and a surge of vigorous power emanated from his entire body.
At this moment, Youyou's voice sounded again: "Do you feel like nothing much has changed?"
"I don't feel much change." Wang Lin nodded. His physical body had indeed become much stronger, and... he mentally called out "Attribute Panel."
A crude blue square box jumped out.

Martial Soul: Brain (Mutated)
Cultivation: Level 40 (Level 42 [35%])
Spiritual Power: Level 43 [73%]

Soul Bone: Ice Silkworm Exoskeleton Shedding—Spiritual Mimicry (Indestructible Body Fusing)

Scanning the changes on Attribute Panel, besides the four-level increase in cultivation, the most notable change was the parenthesis added after the Ice Silkworm Shedding.
Indestructible Body?
Wang Lin remembered that Indestructible Body was an effect produced by the Strange Velvet Sky-Controlling Chrysanthemum. Why did it appear after the Ice Silkworm Shedding?
Seeing this, Wang Lin almost instinctively controlled his soul power to surge. The golden patterns on his body surface flashed, and he also felt the abnormality in his chest.
Before Wang Lin could examine it closely, Youyou spoke: "It's because your spirit is too strong. Even though you consumed the immortal herb I gave you to strengthen your physical body, your physical body still hasn't caught up to your spiritual strength.
"Therefore, your spirit can still easily control your physical body, so you naturally won't feel much change."
It was also at this moment that Electrolux appeared beside Wang Lin, and his voice followed.
"It's done, Little Linzi. This canyon is indeed extraordinary. Bringing it into the Undead Demigod Plane will also bring considerable growth to the Demigod Plane.
"Hurry up and leave this canyon. There will be a great commotion soon."
Elder Yi's tone was very gratified. He was clearly very satisfied with the Eye of Ice and Fire.
"That's good." Wang Lin said in his heart, looking at Youyou, "Since the test is passed, can you give me the Lovesick Heartbroken Red? I need to leave."
"You humans are so impatient. This place is an earthly treasure. How are you not greedy at all?" Youyou's voice sounded surprised.
"I'm already very satisfied with getting what I need." Wang Lin said "righteously." To be honest, he really was in a hurry.
The main thing was that the old Black Dragon must be anxiously waiting outside the canyon now, and he needed to get out quickly so Long Xiaoyao wouldn't worry.
"That makes sense. However, before that, you still have to accept a test of strength. If you are not strong enough, you won't be able to protect the immortal herb even if you acquire it.
"Therefore, according to that person's intention, you must demonstrate sufficiently powerful strength."
Youyou added: "Although a very powerful force erupted from you earlier, that shouldn't be your original power. The test can only use your own power."
"Another fight?" Wang Lin was stunned upon hearing this but quickly reacted.
"Then I don't want it. But you must give me the Qiluo Heart."
"Ah!?"
The rapid development of the situation directly stunned Youyou.
While the pink large flower was in a daze, Wang Lin had already pulled out the Staff of Life and held it against Youyou's flower stem. At the same time, he said in his mind.
"Elder Yi, lend me a hand."
Electrolux immediately understood Wang Lin's intention. A gray light instantly flashed across Wang Lin's body, and the terrifying aura that had previously subdued Youyou surged out again.
A gentle smile followed on Wang Lin's face. He announced loudly.
"You didn't hear clearly just now. Then I'll say it again: Robbery! Hand over your Qiluo Heart!"
