Chapter 268 The Rampaging Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye.
"I'm warning you, don't mess around, or our benefactor won't let you off the hook," Youxiang Qiluo Immortal retorted stubbornly.
"Won't let me off the hook? I think you just need a beating, you lack outside care!" Wu Xuan sneered, gathering hurricane energy in both palms and grabbing directly at Youxiang Qiluo Immortal.
Youxiang Qiluo Immortal screamed, releasing several layers of pink light shields to try and block Wu Xuan, but Wu Xuan shattered all the shields with a single slap, followed by a barrage of punches and kicks from Wu Xuan.
"Bang! Smack! Ah! Smack! Smack! Ah!"
After a series of screams, Wu Xuan calmly withdrew his hand, looking at the noticeably dimmed Youxiang Qiluo Immortal Flower and said indifferently, "Are you awake now? If not, I'll give you another beating."
A resentful human face flashed across the center of the Youxiang Qiluo Immortal Flower, which curled up its body and ignored Wu Xuan.
"Fine, you've got guts!" Wu Xuan stretched out his right hand and snapped his fingers, and a bright green flame immediately rose from his palm.
The flame had no temperature, but the moment it rose, its terrifying power made the Youxiang Qiluo Immortal Flower unable to keep up its act, and it began to scream in terror: "Stop! Stop! Stop! Don't come any closer!"
Even though this Youxiang Qiluo Immortal Flower had a cultivation of 100,000 years, it was definitely not easy to resist his azure flame with the power of decomposition. One wrong move and it would probably be sent to heaven.
"Hand over the book!" Wu Xuan said coldly. With sufficient strength, why pretend when facing these immortal herbs? Just strike hard and don't be afraid to take the bait.
Wu Xuan never admits to being a member of the Tang Clan, so naturally he wouldn't use the Tang Clan's name to deceive people. Moreover, Tang Buddha has schemed against him time and time again, so he has no reason to complete the so-called test of the Fragrant Silk Immortal Item.
He wanted the things, but didn't want to take the test. What could he do but suffer the hardship of these immortal herbs from the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well?
"I'll give it to you, I'll give it to you!" the Fragrant Qiluo Immortal Herb shrieked, writhing its body, then "Ugh!" it spat out a book from its purple bud.
Wu Xuan, unperturbed, grabbed it and began carefully perusing it in front of the Fragrant Qiluo Immortal Herb. He recognized most of the rare herbs, but he couldn't identify all the immortal herbs, and wasn't entirely sure about their harvesting methods, as the Po Clan's pharmacopoeia didn't provide a detailed classification of the various immortal herbs.
The Tang Clan was extremely strict about the so-called "Hundred Solutions to Hidden Weapons," and apart from the direct disciples of the Blue Silver Grass Soul Masters, the Po Clan's branches weren't even allowed a glimpse.
After a thorough examination, Wu Xuan nodded slightly. The contents of the book matched at least 80% of his understanding, therefore the book was genuine.
"You're smart enough to take the book. If you cooperate, I'll return it to you after I leave," Wu Xuan said, squatting down in front of the Fragrant Qiluo Immortal.
The Fragrant Qiluo Immortal raised its large flower, blinking its small eyes, surprised that this human would return the book.
"I'm going to pick some immortal herbs later, so you'd better behave, or you'll be in for a world of hurt!" Wu Xuan threatened.
The Fragrant Qiluo Immortal shrank back, weakly saying, "But we promised that person that we can only take the immortal herbs from our Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well if we pass all the tests he left behind and join his sect."
Wu Xuan chuckled inexplicably, raising one hand. A bright green flame instantly rose.
"Ah! Ah!" The Fragrant Qiluo Immortal immediately screamed in terror. "Take them if you want, I'll pretend I didn't see anything, okay? Can you please take it back first!"
Seeing this, the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm within Wu Xuan's spiritual sea burst into laughter. This Fragrant Qiluo Immortal Herb was utterly ridiculous—cowardly yet stubborn.
Clearly, the joys and sorrows of soul beasts were not shared.
The Ice Emperor, standing nearby, cautioned, "Wu Xuan, this Fragrant Qiluo Immortal Herb is not so easily appeased. Be careful of his later retaliation. I've seen plenty of such petty people in the Far North."
"Don't worry, I'm not so easily fooled. Actually, I've wanted to come to this place for years, but I've delayed until now because of my strength. These immortal herbs are all cowards who bully the weak and fear the strong. If they dare to resist, just beat them up," Wu Xuan said calmly.
"Hmm, it's good that you understand," the Ice Emperor nodded slightly.
The Ice Emperor sympathizing with these immortal herbs? Don't be ridiculous. There are ranks among soul beasts. Would a lion sympathize with an antelope? They'd only worry about whether the antelope was thin. Besides, they had already seen the hope of becoming a god in Wu Xuan. As Wu Xuan's strength grew, this bottom line would only be infinitely widened.
In the dog-eat-dog world, the Ice Emperor's bottom line is probably that Wu Xuan cannot harm the Ice Jade Scorpion clan. She doesn't care about anything else, not even the Far North. Although she is one of the three Heavenly Kings of the Far North, this title wasn't given lightly; it was earned through bloodshed in the ice and snow.
No one can underestimate the determination of a gambler going all in. If successful, she'll be a pioneer. After all, the two Beast Kings who became gods in the Star Dou Great Forest ten thousand years ago are still there; all the soul beasts only feel endless envy when they mention them.
As Wu Xuan slowly dispelled the Hurricane Battlefield, Youxiang Qiluo Immortal found herself back in her original world. Realizing she wasn't dreaming, she immediately shouted, "Ajiao! Axue! Aqi! Ashui! There's an intruder! He bullied me and stole the book that person left behind!"
Youxiang Qiluo Immortal's scream was like a bomb, instantly detonating the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, and four streams of light shot out from both banks.
"Intruder, you're courting death!" A murderous voice rang out, and a female figure rushed out, her features faintly visible, with a long, fiery red braid hanging down to her feet, radiating a terrifying heat.
"Intruder, hand over the book."
A man in purple robes stared coldly at Wu Xuan.
"Intruder, you bully Youyou, are you bullying the lack of talent among my immortal herbs?"
A gentle female voice questioned coldly.
"Intruder, if you cannot prove you are that person's successor, you may die today!"
A rather alluring silver-haired woman said flirtatiously.
Youxiang Qiluo Immortal Herb, Liehuo Xingjiaoshu, Qiluo Tulip, Shuixian Yujigu, and Xuese Tian'ewen—these are now the four ten-thousand-year-old immortal herbs with combat power in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well!
"You four dare to question me? Who gave you the guts?" Wu Xuan's gaze swept over the four immortal herbs surrounding him, and he shouted coldly, a dazzling silver light flashing in his dark eyes.
The four immortal herbs felt a sudden buzzing in their minds, as if their brains had crashed, and then their bodies involuntarily leaned backward.
