Chapter 107 Fiery Apricot and Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass
"If I had known?"
"Can you get in?"
Dugu Bo chimed in detachedly, "Without Clear Sky Douluo protecting you, the poison array around here alone would be enough to turn you two into a pair of doomed lovers!"
Meng Shu glared at him, but did not refute him.
Dugu Bo was telling the truth. If it weren't for Clear Sky Douluo, he and his wife really wouldn't have been able to defeat Dugu Bo, let alone enter the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well to pick Immortal Herbs.
Tang Chuan ignored their bickering and focused his gaze on a pure white, jade-like Immortal Herb not far away.
It is extremely common, with leaves without obvious texture, stems as thin as hair, and an appearance almost identical to ordinary weeds.
But that's its problem.
There could be no weeds near the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire.
Tang Chuan thought for a moment and remembered it. It had appeared in Douluo Continent II and its name seemed to be Hunyuan Immortal Grass.
"Is this herb... listed in the Xuan Tian Bao Lu?"
Tang San followed behind, his brows furrowed, trying hard to recall: "I think there is, but I can't quite remember. Oh well, anyway, it's not anything dangerous..."
Seeing his brother release the Blue Silver Emperor Grass threads to entwine the pure white stem, Tang San hesitated for a moment, but ultimately did not make any further moves.
He simply followed closely, remaining fully alert.
Tang Chuan followed the same method, tightening the Blue Silver Emperor Grass threads. The Primordial Immortal Grass gradually disappeared under the wrapping of the grass threads, and a new page was added to the "Ingredient Compendium" in the Sea of Spirit:
[Mixed Essence Immortal Herb]
[Origin: The Eye of Ice and Fire]
[Timeframe: 83,000 years]
[Characteristics: Contains primordial energy, harmonizes Yin and Yang, and balances the Five Elements]
[Effects: Strengthens the foundation and nourishes the vital energy, harmonizes conflicting soul power attributes; significantly increases soul power recovery speed; can release primordial energy to directly increase a soul master's soul power level and assist in condensing the soul core; can be used as a neutralizing agent in the preparation of medicinal cuisine, balancing the properties of various medicines... When taken alone, it will produce strong energy exclusion, greatly reducing the absorption effect of subsequent herbs...]
"It really is the Primordial Immortal Herb!"
"Moreover, it can assist in condensing a soul core, making it an invaluable treasure for Soul Douluos and Title Douluos!"
Tang Chuan reflected in his mind, feeling somewhat regretful: "It's just that taking it alone will cause exclusion, reducing the absorption effect of other medicinal herbs, which is a bit of a flaw."
"But it doesn't really matter."
"You can't eat too much of the herb anyway, so this isn't really a drawback."
Behind him, Dugu Bo and Long Gong Meng Shu continued their casual conversation.
"I have guarded this place for many years, but unfortunately I have been guarding a treasure mountain without realizing it..." Dugu Bo glanced at Meng Shu, his expression now more regretful and boastful than before.
"Really!"
"Not all medicinal herbs are beneficial to humans. If one unknowingly ingests a highly poisonous herb, it might not be the most humiliating way to die."
Meng Shu nodded in agreement and continued, "I am only fortunate enough to witness such a wondrous sight and Immortal Herb because of His Majesty the Jade Emperor."
The two chatted back and forth, and their relationship gradually grew closer.
Dugu Bo was trying to ease tensions with Tang Chuan and his group in order to pave the way for obtaining the Crimson Pearl Immortal Herb in the future.
Meng Shu was in the heart of Ye Menqing.
I am not a friend of the Tang family father and son. I was forced to come here with them because I had to keep the secret of the 100,000-year-old transformed soul beast.
Being able to befriend a Title Douluo is certainly not a bad thing.
He even secretly rejoiced, otherwise he probably would never have known that there were so many miraculous medicinal herbs in the world.
While they chatted, Tang Chuan focused on absorbing the remaining Immortal Herbs.
The Blue Silver Emperor Grass threads continuously weaved around the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye, devouring one Immortal Herb after another. Page after page of the "Ingredient Encyclopedia" lit up, displaying the characteristics and specific effects of various Immortal Herbs.

Before long, only two of the hundreds of celestial herbs that had grown around the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye remained.
A tree growing beside a hot spring, its petals layered upon each other, glowing with a scorching red light, as if carved from a ruby, is none other than the Fiery Apricot Delicate and Sparse described in the original work.
Another plant, growing beside the cold spring pool, was as white as snow, with octagonal leaves and tiny, sparkling stamens in the center like ice crystals. It continuously emitted a cold, white mist, causing a thin layer of frost to form on the surrounding ground. This was the Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass.
These two Immortal Herbs are closest to the spring of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, and they give people the most domineering feeling.
Just by getting close, you can feel the extreme heat and cold.
"Brother, those two plants are close to the spring, let me pick them for you."
Tang San stepped forward and volunteered.
He knew that the two herbs were of extreme natures, one hot and one cold, and that even though his brother could devour them from a distance with his Blue Silver Emperor Spirit, there was still danger.
Only when two Immortal Herbs intersect will they be restrained by each other's aura, which is the best time to consume them.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, mistress!"
Tang Chuan smiled and nodded, saying, "Be careful, and stay safe."
Knowing that Xiao San was afraid that the two extremely cold and extremely hot Immortal Herbs would harm him, he didn't stop him. Moreover, Xiao San had also picked these two Immortal Herbs in the original work, so he knew that Xiao San had a way to deal with them.
Don't worry, bro!
Tang San responded and walked towards the Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass by the cold spring. He activated the Xuanyu Hand technique, turning his palm into a pure white jade color to avoid being frostbitten by the cold air.
Tang Hao stood still, watching Tang San volunteer, without comment.
He had no time to worry about whether Tang San would get into trouble by picking the two Ice and Fire Immortal Herbs; his mind was still preoccupied with the relationship between Blue Silver King and Xiao San.
Even if the mistress possesses the Clear Sky Hammer Spirit.
But his past unusual behavior was completely different from Xiaochuan's; he didn't seem like a child.
After being born, he didn't cry or fuss. Once he could walk, he started taking care of the family. He was quiet and thoughtful, unlike Tang Chuan who liked to play in the mud. Instead, he would run up the mountain every day, sit cross-legged in meditation, and practice some strange and unusual hidden weapons...
The Blue Silver King is the guardian of the Blue Silver Grass clan and has lived for 85,000 years.
Could it be that it has parasitized the mistress?
Otherwise, how could Tang San know so many strange hidden weapons, and why did his Spirit evolve into the Blue Silver King instead of inheriting his mother's Blue Silver Emperor Spirit like Tang Chuan?
Hmm...maybe!
The Blue Silver Grass Spirit itself has no combat power, and even Ah Yin and Tang Chuan's Blue Silver Emperor Spirits are no match for it.
Although Tang Chuan can create iron spears and crossbows for combat using his first spirit ring, this is a divinely bestowed spirit ring ability and does not mean that the Blue Silver Grass Spirit itself can transform into iron spears and crossbows for combat.
Could the strange hidden weapons that Tang San is practicing be something that the Blue Silver King specifically researched to improve the combat capabilities of the Blue Silver Grass clan?
Tang Hao found it increasingly suspicious.
He even clenched his fists, eager to explore the Blue Silver Forest.
If it really was that old Blue Silver King who did it, even if it was a member of Ah Yin's clan, it would not escape death!
He didn't reveal his thoughts, and on the surface remained indifferent.
He only concernedly reminded Tang Chuan: "Xiao Chuan, since Tang San is going to pick them for you, you should stay away from this spring."
"Too dangerous!"
