Chapter 6: earth dragon golden gourd and ink jade divine bamboo? Let the Clone Devour Them? Yu Jingcheng Helpless: Three Mouths, Is There Enough to Eat?
Yu Jingcheng patted the Light Holy Dragon beneath him, signaling it to wait at the edge of the valley.
Then, he leaped down, his figure landing lightly in the soft medicinal field.
The air here was permeated with a rich medicinal fragrance.
Just taking a deep breath made him feel the Soul Power within his body circulate a few points faster.
But he did not stop at the edge, instead walking straight toward the central area of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
There, two completely different Immortal Herbs were growing quietly on either side of the spring's eye.
They stood opposite each other, yet maintained a delicate balance.
On the left was one that was snow-white all over, as if carved from ice crystals, with eight corners at the top, emitting a heart-palpitating aura of extreme cold.
Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass!
On the right was one that was fiery red all over, shaped like a large cabbage.
However, its entire body was like red jade glass, emitting a scorching high temperature.
blazing apricot delicate tree!
"It's you two."
Looking at these two deadly poisonous herbs, there was no fear in Yu Jingcheng's eyes; instead, they were filled with greed and desire.
"Although this body has been reborn after being transformed by the golden dragon pellet,
its current strength is still far from enough if I want to carry Divine Rank power and absorb Soul Rings and Soul Bones of higher cultivation years in the future."
"Only by finding life in death, utilizing the extreme cold and extreme heat of these two Immortal Herbs, and tempering myself with the water of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well,
to forge the 'Ice Fire Golden Body' that is impervious to water, fire, and all poisons, can I truly lay the supreme Foundation for becoming a god!"
After confirming his goal, Yu Jingcheng did not rush to start picking.
He turned around, his gaze beginning to carefully scan the vast medicinal garden, taking stock of the inventory here.
marvelous fungus reaching heaven chrysanthemum, qiluo tulip, eight-petaled immortal orchid, Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower...
Those Immortal Herbs that shone brilliantly in the original story and allowed the Shrek Seven Devils to reach godhood,
were all growing quietly here at this moment, waiting for him to pluck them.
"Very good, they are all here."
Yu Jingcheng nodded with satisfaction.
But immediately after, Yu Jingcheng's gaze stopped on two plants in the corner of the medicinal garden.
One of them was a stalk of bamboo that was pitch black as ink and emitted a warm, jade-like luster.
It was only a little over a meter tall, yet it gave off an indestructible, heaven-supporting feeling.
The bamboo leaves were as sharp as swords, and as they swayed in the wind, they actually produced the sound of clashing metal.
"ink jade divine bamboo!"
Yu Jingcheng raised an eyebrow and moved his gaze to another spot.
A strange fruit was growing there.
Its entire body was a heavy earthy yellow, and the skin was covered in golden patterns.
These patterns wound and twisted, faintly forming the patterns of coiled earth dragons.
A thick and heavy earth-attribute aura, mixed with a faint dragon's might, radiated from this fruit.
"earth dragon golden gourd?!"
The corners of Yu Jingcheng's mouth curled up slightly.
These two Immortal Herbs never appeared in the original story of the first Douluo Continent book.
Instead, it was only during The Unrivaled Tang Sect period ten thousand years later that they were discovered and utilized by Huo Yuhao and the others.
ink jade divine bamboo is known for its toughness and can greatly enhance the resilience and attack power of plant-type or attack system Soul Masters.
And the earth dragon golden gourd possesses an extremely pure earth dragon Bloodline.
For a Soul Master with a sub-dragon Martial Soul, it is simply a Heaven-Defying object for changing one's fate!
Although Yu Jingcheng's Light Holy Dragon Bloodline was of the light attribute,
in this era,
an earth dragon golden gourd that could enhance Dragon Clan Bloodline was still incredibly precious.
There was no need to be a picky eater.
"Strange..."
Yu Jingcheng rubbed his chin, lost in thought.
"Since they are growing here now, why was there not a single word mentioned when Tang San came in the original story?"
Several thoughts quickly flashed through Yu Jingcheng's mind.
"The first possibility is that in the years before the plot began,
they were ruined or mistakenly picked by someone—perhaps that Old Poison Dugu Bo, who doesn't know their value?"
"The second possibility is that when Tang San came, these two Immortal Herbs were still in their juvenile stage or hidden too deeply, so even the Purple Demon Eye couldn't find them?"
"Or perhaps..."
The corners of Yu Jingcheng's mouth curled into a playful smile.
"That hypocrite Tang San discovered them, but he felt they were useless to him.
Or he didn't want to write them into the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record, so he simply didn't mention them, or even pocketed them privately?"
However, no matter what the truth was, it was no longer important.
Since he, Yu Jingcheng, had come, everything here now belonged to the Yu family!
"This earth dragon golden gourd is practically tailor-made for my external Incarnation."
Yu Jingcheng glanced at the Little Golden Earth Dragon King perched on his shoulder, his eyes flashing with brilliance.
"Although the Golden Earth Dragon King has the Light Holy Dragon Bloodline, it also has a certain earth attribute; otherwise, where would the word 'Earth' in its name come from?
If it devours this earth dragon golden gourd, which contains the essence of the earth dragon Bloodline...
this Golden Earth Dragon King Clone will also be able to grow up quickly."
Yu Jingcheng's goal for the Golden Earth Dragon King Clone wasn't high either.
After all, the Golden Earth Dragon King was not a plant.
It could not enjoy the benefits of the greatly increased growth speed of plants in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well like Ah Yin.
It could only enhance its Aptitude and potential by devouring Immortal Herbs.
As long as its cultivation years could be raised to tens of thousands or a hundred thousand years in the following decades, before the plot begins, that would be enough.
As for the ink jade divine bamboo, although it couldn't be used for the time being, such a top-grade Immortal Herb was still a massive fortune to keep.
"Between my own mouth, the Light Holy Dragon, and the Little Golden Earth Dragon King Clone, we are all gluttonous Taoties."
"Let's see how much we can eat."
"If one does not take what Heaven offers, one will suffer the consequences."
Yu Jingcheng no longer hesitated and turned his gaze back to the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and blazing apricot delicate tree by the spring water.
"First, I'll forge the Ice Fire Golden Body, and then I'll slowly enjoy this garden-wide feast!"
"Light Holy Dragon, come down!"
Yu Jingcheng waved toward the giant beast in the sky.
Roar—
A low dragon roar responded as the massive golden figure retracted its wings, bringing a gust of wild wind as it landed steadily beside Yu Jingcheng.
Although there were terrifying force fields of extreme cold and extreme heat around the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and blazing apricot delicate tree, such that an ordinary Soul Master would be frozen stiff or burned to ashes just by approaching,
for the Light Holy Dragon, which possessed the Ultimate Light and Holy attributes and had thick skin and flesh, this level of temperature was still within tolerable limits.
"Go, fetch those two herbs for me."
Yu Jingcheng pointed at the white and red Immortal Herbs on either side of the spring eye.
The Light Holy Dragon was extremely intelligent; its massive dragon head gave a slight nod, and then it reached out its dragon claws covered in thick golden scales.
It first carefully uprooted the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass.
The cold air, enough to freeze steel, kicked up a layer of white frost the moment it touched the dragon claws, yet it could not penetrate that layer of golden scales.
Immediately after, it quickly grabbed toward the blazing apricot delicate tree; the scorching fire poison sizzled on the dragon claws, yet it still could not harm them in the slightest.
