Chapter 32 Swallowing Star Anise Mysterious Ice Grass and Fiery Apricot
The longing dew is not the best among the magical herbs.
Compared with those magical herbs that can directly enhance soul power, its effects seem somewhat ordinary.
However, it is this seemingly inconspicuous auxiliary herb that Yan urgently needs now.
Although the Wangchuanqiushui Dew cannot directly enhance his soul power, it has the magical effect of improving vision and mental concentration.
As a strong attack spirit master, Yan always felt that his mental strength could not keep up with the rhythm of his body during long-term training and fighting.
And this magical herb can make up for his shortcomings in this area.
After absorbing this magical herb, both mental strength and vision will be significantly improved, which will have an immeasurable effect on future training and combat.
Yan did not hesitate and quickly put the Longing Dew into the Wanling Treasure Gate, preparing to take it at a suitable time.
Then, continue searching.
Suddenly, an unusually large chrysanthemum came into his sight.
The chrysanthemum presents a gorgeous and mysterious purple color, and each petal appears furry, soft and delicate. Although the whole chrysanthemum is surprisingly large, it does not appear clumsy at all, but instead has a natural beauty.
What is amazing is that although this chrysanthemum is bright and eye-catching, it does not emit any fragrance, as if all its fragrance is tightly locked in the pistil.
The pistil is half a foot higher than the petals, and the top shines with a faint golden glow, as if it contains some mysterious and powerful power.
Yan recognized this neutral fairy herb - the Qirong Tongtianju - at a glance.
He knew that this magical herb was a perfect match for Yue Guan's martial soul.
Over the past six months, Yue Guan had helped him tremendously. Not only had he given him the precious Ice Grass Silkworm Beads and the Wanling Treasure Gate, he had also taught him a lot about flowers and plants.
Without Yue Guan's careful teaching, he would not have been able to come here and identify so many magical herbs.
Yan picked the strange chrysanthemum and put it into the Wanling Treasure Gate, then continued searching.
Later, he picked the poison nemesis - the fairy product Youxiang Qiluo, the king of flowers - Acacia Heartbreak Red, the Snow Swan Kiss that can stimulate toxins, and the top-quality auxiliary fairy grass Qiluo Tulip.
During the search, Yan also saw an earth-attributed herb - Earth Dragon Golden Gourd.
However, it doesn't seem to be fully formed yet.
Yan was not in a hurry to pick it, as he would have the chance to come here again in the future.
Since the goal was clear, the magical herbs that Yan wanted to pick had already been imprinted in his mind, so it only took him half an hour to collect them all.
During this short half hour, Yan was in a state of nervousness, feeling both tense and excited.
Fortunately for him, Dugu Bo did not show up.
He also didn't know how the battle between Dugu Bo and Yue Guan was going.
But no matter what, we must leave here as soon as possible.
Now there is only one last step left, pick the Star Aniseed Mysterious Ice Grass and the Fiery Apricot, take them together, and then evacuate quickly.
Those two kinds of top-grade magical herbs are both highly poisonous, so the method of picking them is also very particular.
But this did not pose any difficulty for Yan, because he was well prepared.
To pick the extremely cold Star Aniseed Mysterious Ice Grass, one must use gold and iron tools, while to pick the scorching Fiery Apricot Grass, one must use jade tools.
Yan held a golden iron dagger in one hand and a white jade dagger in the other. The two daggers flew out at the same time, cutting towards the Eight-Angled Mysterious Ice Grass and the Fiery Apricot respectively, accurately cutting off the two immortal herbs from the stems.
At the moment when the two immortal herbs fell, two pieces of granite as hard as black iron flew out like lightning, caught them, and flew towards the direction of Yan at an extremely fast speed.
In an instant, a piece of rock froze into ice under the force of extreme cold and shattered to the ground, while another piece of rock turned into ash under the force of heat.
The two immortal herbs fell to the ground in front of Yan at the same time. Just as he imagined, the two herbs with completely opposite properties disappeared at the same time when they met.
A layer of faint red light enveloped the Star Aniseed Mysterious Ice Grass, while a layer of faint white cold air enveloped the Fiery Apricot Tree.
When these two magical herbs meet, although they are restrained by each other's aura, their effects will completely disappear in a very short time.
Without any hesitation, Yan picked them up and stuffed them into his mouth in big mouthfuls.
In theory, anyone can take these two magical herbs at the same time as long as they have a strong physique and use the right method, because they neutralize each other and still have a mutually restraining relationship after entering the human body.
Although both of the two immortal products were highly poisonous, after being restrained by each other, they were no longer as overbearing as before. They melted in the mouth, and Yan only felt refreshed.
But he did not let his guard down.
He knew that the two forces would then rampage through his body.
So, he immediately sat cross-legged and practiced Tai Chi exercises.
The purpose of Tai Chi exercise is to harmonize yin and yang and unite the spirit and energy.
Since being reborn into this world, Yan would practice this technique every night to regulate the breath and soul power in his body so that it could flow more smoothly.
Today, it will come in handy.
At this moment, the medicinal effects of the two magical herbs have taken effect. Two extreme auras are constantly impacting Yan's body, causing him some pain.
Fortunately, with the practice of Tai Chi exercises, the two auras gradually calmed down.
Yan knew that after the medicinal effects of the two magic herbs took effect, he could also jump into the intersection of the extremely cold Yin Spring and the extremely hot Yang Spring of the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire, so as to better absorb the medicinal effects.
However, he didn't have time to think about this now.
To fully absorb the medicinal effects of the two magical herbs, it would take a long process, perhaps several years.
So, he is not in a hurry.
Now, saving your life is the most important thing.
Once the two auras in the body become a little more stable, we must hurry and leave here, otherwise when Dugu Bo comes back, we won't be able to leave even if we want to.
When Yan was practicing Qigong and regulating his breathing, he suddenly felt a wave of energy coming from above his head.
The energy fluctuation was too strong, and Yan could feel it even though he was not very close to him.
"Oh no, it's Dugu Bo!"
Yan was shocked and stood up immediately.
Without any hesitation, he leaped forward and dived into the confluence of the yin and yang springs, sinking completely into the water.
Just at this moment, Dugu Bo landed at the bottom of the valley.
Looking around, Dugu Bo felt that something seemed to be missing around the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire, but he couldn't tell where it was, because some of the flowers and plants were too strange, even he didn't recognize them.
He immediately realized that someone had been here.
But with his powerful mental strength, he could not even sense that person's presence.
"Strange, I just came down from up there and didn't notice anything unusual. No one can escape from my perception range, what's going on?"
Looking at the spring water that was still slightly rippling, Dugu Bo was suddenly startled.
Only then did he notice that the two highly poisonous herbs at the center of the Yin and Yang springs had disappeared.
