Chapter 272 The Taunt of the Heartbreaking Red of Longing.
Although it wasn't suitable for Wu Xuan, even if he ate it directly like a melon, it would still increase his soul power considerably.
The Primordial Immortal Grass was a treasure for improving soul power cultivation. It had no other special attributes, its medicinal effects were mild, and it could be absorbed by any soul master. It could greatly assist in compressing soul power and condensing soul cores.
Therefore, the Primordial Immortal Grass and the Vortex Wind Core of the Tumbleweed could be said to be Wu Xuan's greatest gains on this trip.
The only thing that Wu Xuan found regrettable was that the three 100,000-year-old immortal herbs had their consciousness suppressed by the Fragrant Silk Immortal Herb, preventing them from producing 100,000-year-old soul rings and 100,000-year-old soul bones.
Wu Xuan stretched out his left hand, covered with crystal pink dragon scales, and grabbed at the 100,000-year-old Light Breeze Lotus Mist, which was as clear and translucent as jade. The Light Breeze Lotus Mist trembled slightly, and a strong azure halo surged out from its body. Wu Xuan didn't care about this at all, because the moment the halo touched Wu Xuan's dragon claw, this solid, almost tangible halo instantly collapsed and melted away.
The Gentle Breeze Lotus Mist looked plump and full, yet it felt light and weak to the touch, perfectly matching the characteristics of the wind element. Although it was far from the ultimate attribute, the Gentle Breeze Lotus Mist was definitely one of the top-tier immortal herbs.
Having consecutively obtained three 100,000-year-old immortal herbs, Wu Xuan's mood instantly improved considerably.
Continuing forward, at the end of the passage, a flower resembling a peony, but even more delicate, came into Wu Xuan's view. This immortal herb appeared to be a flower, but it was actually a grass, with its roots connected to black Wujue Stone. It had no fragrance, no other decorations, not even a single leaf. All it possessed was a faint crimson, a sorrowful crimson.
"My lord, this is the most precious immortal herb in our Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye, a divine grade among immortal herbs. A 100,000-year-old Acacia Heartbreak Red," the sycophantic servant of the Fragrant Silk Immortal Herb introduced.
"Oh! That immortal herb that protects love?" Wu Xuan murmured, recalling the book left by Tang Buddha.
"You can take it if you need it, sir!" Qi Luo Tulip followed eagerly.
Wu Xuan affirmed himself for two and a half seconds, then decided to give it a try. He circulated his soul power, pointed a finger at his chest, and spat a mouthful of blood onto the surface of the Acacia Heartbreak Red. The Acacia Heartbreak Red trembled slightly, then returned to calm. Wu Xuan immediately fell into deep thought. Could it be that he hadn't thought of the right person?
This time, Wu Xuan thought of Ma Xiaotao and spat another mouthful of blood onto the peony-shaped flower of the Acacia Heartbreak Red.
This time, the Acacia Heartbreak Red didn't even tremble; it didn't react at all.
"Damn it!" Wu Xuan raised his hand, ready to slap the Acacia Heartbreak Red to death.
"Ah~! Sir, have mercy! Have mercy!" Seeing Wu Xuan's actions, Youxiang Qi Luo Immortal Item screamed.
"My lord, please calm down! Let's not stoop to the level of the Acacia Heartbreak Red, okay?" Qi Luo Tulip was almost in tears.
"My lord, although the Acacia Heartbreak Red is rumored to be incredibly powerful, it's ultimately just a plant. It can't understand human love." Snow Swan Kiss's eyes flickered as she began to belittle the Acacia Heartbreak Red.
"Hmm, that makes sense! Just a plant, I really don't need it to understand anything! Hmph!" Wu Xuan sneered disdainfully.
"My lord is right, my lord is right!" You Xiang Qi Luo Immortal quickly echoed.
After looting most of the immortal herbs and a dozen or so high-age medicinal herbs, Wu Xuan stood beside the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well and gazed deeply at the red and white intertwined spring. He knew that the corpses of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings were buried deep within the spring, but his strength was insufficient for him to go down rashly. After all, planning before acting was his style, and he preferred to fight when things were going smoothly.
"My lord! Are you about to leave?" Youxiang Qiluo Xianpin asked cautiously as she stepped forward.
"What? Are you in such a hurry to send me away?" Wu Xuan turned his head and glanced at Youxiang Qiluo Xianpin.
The fragrant Qiluo Immortal Herb was startled: "How could this be? I just wanted to ask if you need anything else, so we can continue to serve you!"
"You're quite sensible. Take good care of those two Acacia Heartbreak Red plants for me. Maybe I'll come back for them someday." Wu Xuan gave a casual instruction, then stepped into the air and headed out of the valley.
"Yes, sir!" The remaining four 100,000-year-old immortal herbs, except for the Narcissus Jade Bone, waved with joy and tears in their eyes.
"That jinx is finally gone!" The flower-shaped Fragrant Qiluo Immortal Herb collapsed to the ground.
"It was really hard to keep this little life!" Snow-colored Swan Kiss said with tears in her eyes.
"I hope that jinx will come later next time!" Qiluo Tulip said with a look of utter despair.
"Why didn't you save Ajiao!" Narcissus Jade Bone looked at her former friends with some indignation.
"Save us? How do you expect us to save you? Send ourselves in too? Don't forget, even you were a treasure we spent ten thousand years gathering!" Snow Swan Kiss loudly questioned.
Qi Luo Tulip also said coldly, "This is what Ah Jiao brought on herself. With her temper, she attacks without warning. Who knows, we might all be killed by her one day."
"That's right, I told her to stop, but she wouldn't listen. Ah Shui, we know you don't want to submit to that human, but what can we do? Die together?" You Xiang Qi Luo Immortal said through gritted teeth.
"Ah Shui, you've only recently gained intelligence. Don't you understand? Sometimes, assessing the situation is a survival strategy," Qi Luo Tulip said solemnly.
Narcissus Jade Bone remained silent for a long time.
After leaving Sunset Forest, Wu Xuan didn't rush back to Shrek Academy. Before leaving, he decided to get Xiao Xiao a new martial soul. With Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's reminder, his first choice was naturally the far north.
After two days of travel, Wu Xuan clearly felt the surrounding temperature had dropped significantly.
This is the northernmost part of the continent, and in late autumn, the northern part of the continent is already a world of ice and snow. As one of the northernmost cities of the Heavenly Soul Empire, Dragon City is no exception.
The history of Dragon City can even be traced back to the Heavenly Dou Empire ten thousand years ago, making it the undisputed largest city in the three eastern provinces of the Heavenly Soul Empire. Within the entire Heavenly Soul Empire, Dragon City's scale is also among the largest.
In the distance, all that could be seen in Wu Xuan's sight was a world of ice and snow. Wu Xuan did not linger in Dragon City but flew directly around its city walls for nearly two thousand meters.
In less than half an hour, a vast and boundless forest came into Wu Xuan's view.
The Frozen Forest, the best buffer zone between this far north and Dragon City. This forest is basically similar to the outer area of the Star Dou Great Forest, mostly inhabited by soul beasts that are hundreds or thousands of years old; ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts are rarely encountered.
Wu Xuan's figure slowly descended from the sky. After traveling for a day and a half, he was ready to recover his soul power and eat something.
