Wang Chen transformed into a streak of light, swiftly entering the Sunset Forest. The area of the Sunset Forest was far smaller than the Star Dou Great Forest, and it lacked particularly powerful soul beasts.
Wang Chen charged through unobstructed, and any soul beast lacking discernment that launched an attack would, the moment its attack formed, instantly turn into a mist of blood, falling to the ground as a soul ring.
Soon, Wang Chen arrived at the central region of the Sunset Forest.
Upon reaching the central region, the scenery of the Sunset Forest changed dramatically. If the outer region's faint white poisonous miasma posed little threat to soul masters,
the central region's seven-colored poisonous miasma was far more formidable, such that even Soul Sage-level soul masters could not survive long in it.
The core region's poisonous miasma was even more terrifying, with countless Jade Phosphor Seven Absolute Flowers. The miasma's potency was so strong that even Title Douluo powerhouses dared not step into it.
The Jade Phosphor Seven Absolute Flower was an extremely rare plant, one of the most toxic plants in the world, with highly corrosive poison known as the top in corrosion, and also possessing potent neurotoxic properties.
If a plant-type soul master could find a Jade Phosphor Seven Absolute Flower that had become a plant-type soul beast and fuse it into their soul ring, they would gain its deadly poison.
Thus, Tang San had extensively planted them around the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to protect it from outsiders.
Wang Chen looked at the seven-colored poisonous miasma in the central region, shimmering like a rainbow under the sunlight, and couldn't help but show an appreciative expression.
This seven-colored miasma was deadly poison to ordinary soul masters, but to Wang Chen, it was negligible. His Spirit Domain slightly expanded, enveloping his body, preventing any poison from invading.
Wang Chen admired the beautiful seven-colored miasma for a moment, then released his tangible and substantial realm mental power, beginning to search for the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well valley hidden within the dense miasma.
The detection range of tangible and substantial realm mental power was astonishing, easily covering dozens of kilometers.
Even a powerhouse like the Evil Eye Tyrant Ruler, whose mental power reached the peak of tangible and substantial, could envelop a third of the Evil Forest with their mental power.
Soon, Wang Chen found a valley with unusually dense heaven and earth essence ten kilometers away within the miasma.
The valley's perimeter was shrouded in a thick layer of seven-colored poison clouds produced by the Jade Phosphor Seven Absolute Flowers. These clouds lingered without dispersing, deterring any living beings from entering.
However, stopping Wang Chen was wishful thinking. He strolled toward the valley as if taking a leisurely walk. Moments later, he reached the valley's edge.
The valley's edge was extremely steep, as if carved by a knife. The thick seven-colored miasma obscured the view inside the valley.
With a flash, Wang Chen's figure shot like an arrow from a bow, flying toward the valley's bottom.
When Wang Chen descended about three hundred meters, the miasma suddenly cleared, as if something in the valley was the miasma's natural enemy, preventing it from entering.
The view, previously obscured by the seven-colored miasma, became clear.
What met Wang Chen's eyes was a breathtaking scene, like a paradise on earth.
The sky above was completely covered by seven-colored poison clouds, making the valley glow as if illuminated by a rainbow.
The valley's walls were covered with vines that shimmered with faint seven-colored light, resembling sapphire.
The valley itself wasn't large but was filled with various exotic flowers and plants, each emitting a radiant treasure glow, extremely extraordinary.
At the valley's center, countless exotic flowers and plants surrounded a lake.
The lake was distinctly divided into two parts: one side icy white, the other fiery red, like two massive jade stones embedded there.
This was the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. Here, plant growth was ten times faster than the outside world, and it housed a vast number of top-grade immortal herbs. Each immortal herb could transform a soul master, turning them into a top-tier genius.
Wang Chen reached the valley's bottom, gazing at the paradisiacal beauty, and took a deep breath.
For a moment, the soul power within him seemed to circulate faster, and he couldn't help but think, "Worthy of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, such dense heaven and earth essence. Cultivating here would surely bring great benefits."
As Wang Chen marveled at the dense essence of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well,
a pale pink flower spoke, "Who are you? How did you know about this place?"
Wang Chen's gaze turned to the speaking flower, observing it. The large pink flower had enormous petals, each as translucent as crystal.
The pale pink flower swayed gently with the mist, growing on the shore where the red and white springs met, with no other plants around it.
Wang Chen's eyes narrowed, thinking darkly to himself, "From its appearance, it should be the Aromatic Silk Beauty."
Wang Chen, familiar with the story, knew that the Aromatic Silk Beauty held a high status among the immortal herbs of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, acting as the leader. Its ability was immunity to all poisons and countering them, with its fragrance calming the mind and soothing the spirit.
Moreover, the pharmacology and toxicology chapters of Tang San's Tang Sect treasure, the Mysterious Heaven Record, left in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, were in the Aromatic Silk Beauty's possession.
The toxicology chapter wasn't very useful, merely about making and using poisons.
The pharmacology chapter recorded information on various immortal herbs and rare medicines, as well as valuable pill formulas.
In the original story, Huo Yuhao used the pill formulas in the pharmacology chapter to refine seven Qiankun Creation Pills, causing his and the Tang Sect members' cultivation to soar.
The Qiankun Creation Pill was extraordinary, with terrifying medicinal power and no side effects, instead strengthening foundations and enhancing physique and mental power.
In the original story, one Qiankun Creation Pill, divided into over a dozen portions for the Tang Sect members, with one portion alone raising Huo Yuhao's cultivation from nearly level 83 to between level 84 and 85, a one-and-a-half-level increase.
A complete Qiankun Creation Pill would be more than enough for an level 81 Soul Douluo to break through to Title Douluo. One pill was terrifying, and seven together were simply formidable beyond words.
The Qiankun Creation Pill, Douluo 2's strongest pill, deserved its reputation.
Wang Chen's purpose in coming to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was to collect immortal herbs and various rare medicinal materials to refine Qiankun Creation Pills.
Simply eating the herbs versus refining them into pills and consuming them had vastly different effects; Wang Chen naturally wouldn't do something as wasteful as the former.
Wang Chen thought darkly to himself, "Later, I'll restrain the Aromatic Silk Beauty, take the pharmacology and toxicology chapters left by Tang San, and with the pill formulas, I can refine Qiankun Creation Pills."
While Wang Chen sized up the Aromatic Silk Beauty, it was also sizing him up, sensing that this human was extremely powerful, giving it a great sense of crisis.
Thus, the Aromatic Silk Beauty, while questioning aloud, secretly called out to the other immortal herbs to wake up quickly, stop sleeping, a powerful human had arrived, and everyone needed to be careful.
With the Aromatic Silk Beauty's call, all the sentient immortal herbs in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well awakened.
For a moment, Wang Chen became the focus of many immortal herbs' attention.
Wang Chen's mental power was so strong that he naturally noticed the Aromatic Silk Beauty's subtle actions, but he didn't care.
With his boldness backed by great skill, Wang Chen was confident that with his strength, all the immortal herbs in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well combined wouldn't be enough to challenge him. Mere hundred-thousand-year soul beasts, could they overturn the heavens?
Wang Chen scanned the immortal herbs in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well valley, a smile curling his lips.
Aside from a few hundred-thousand-year plant-type soul beast immortal herbs, there were many immortal herbs that hadn't become soul beasts.
So many immortal herbs—how many Qiankun Creation Pills could he refine?
With Qiankun Creation Pills, he'd have enough resources to break through to Title Douluo and condense a second soul core, with plenty left over.
Condensing a second soul core required a lot of energy. Generally, a soul master slowly accumulating energy would need ten or even decades to gather enough for a second soul core.
And that was for a co-resonant second soul core. For the more powerful yin-yang complementary second soul core, even more energy was needed.
With Wang Chen's strength, when breaking through to level 90, he naturally wouldn't condense a weaker co-resonant dual soul core; the yin-yang complementary dual soul core was the way to go, comparable to Di Tian and the Evil Eye Tyrant Ruler.
Even among dual soul cores, Di Tian, with a yin-yang complementary dual soul core, was much stronger than Limit Douluo like Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao with co-resonant dual soul cores.
Wang Chen would definitely aim to condense a yin-yang complementary dual soul core in the future. Once achieved, he would truly stand at the pinnacle of Douluo Continent.
At that time, no human soul master would be his match; only top ferocious beasts like Di Tian and the Evil Eye Tyrant Ruler could fight him.
Wang Chen calmly said to the Aromatic Silk Beauty, "You don't need to know who I am; you just need to know I'm stronger than you.
You all look quite nice. I happen to be collecting immortal herb essences and various rare medicinal materials for pill refining, so will you hand them over willingly, or do I take them myself?"
For these immortal herbs, Wang Chen had no intention of killing them. The most valuable part of these immortal herbs was their essence. As long as they lived, the essence could be continuously produced.
If killed, there'd be no more in the future. Even Tang San understood sustainable development; how much more so Wang Chen?
Compared to the immortal herb essences, the hundred-thousand-year soul rings and soul bones from killing these herbs were insignificant. With Wang Chen's current strength, he indeed looked down on hundred-thousand-year soul rings and soul bones.
Hearing Wang Chen's words, the immortal herbs of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well erupted in uproar.
The Aromatic Silk Beauty, realizing Wang Chen wasn't sent by Tang San, immediately refused to give him a single herb, saying, "Human, don't even think about taking a single herb from here!"
The fiery-tempered Blazing Apricot, located at the center of the fire spring, said, "Youyou, why waste words? This human has ill intentions, coveting us. Kill him!"
The Blazing Apricot was among the top in combat power among the immortal herbs, and its words immediately garnered agreement from many.
The Earth Dragon Golden Gourd said, "Jiao's right. This human clearly has bad intentions. Let's all act together and deal with him!"
The Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass said coldly, "Jiao's right this time."
Seeing this, Wang Chen wasted no more words, deciding to use force to persuade. He took out the silver-white God-Suppressing Spear from his storage soul tool, and the white Spirit Domain enveloped the entire Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
In an instant, the heaven and earth essence of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well formed an energy vortex, swirling around Wang Chen.
A powerful pressure from his tangible and substantial realm mental intent swept through the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, making all the immortal herbs tremble.
The Aromatic Silk Beauty said, "Such strong mental power. This human is tough to deal with. Everyone, be careful!"
Purple light emanated from the Aromatic Silk Beauty, and a purple beam shot toward Wang Chen.
The Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, drawing on the cold spring's power, unleashed an ice spike of ultimate ice level, its power so great that, boosted by the cold spring, even a Title Douluo would struggle to resist.
The Blazing Apricot, using the fire spring's power, erupted with scorching flames, distorting space itself.
For a moment, the many immortal herbs united, unleashing a powerful assault.
Seeing this, Wang Chen's fourth soul ring lit up, and he vanished from his spot, reappearing fifty meters away. The immortal herbs' combined attack missed, causing no harm to Wang Chen.
The next moment, amplification soul skills lit up on Wang Chen, and he aimed a spear at the Aromatic Silk Beauty, the leader. Silver-white spatial power spread.
God-Suppressing Spear skill, Spatial Imprisonment! Activated!
An irresistible spatial force swept over, firmly binding the Aromatic Silk Beauty, rendering it immobile.
Even without using the seventh soul skill Martial Soul True Body to enhance the God-Suppressing Spear, as Wang Chen's natal soul tool, its power was still extraordinary.
Not to mention these hundred-thousand-year soul beasts, even a level 95 Super Douluo would have to kneel obediently.
After imprisoning the Aromatic Silk Beauty, Wang Chen flashed, quickly arriving beside it.
Seeing Wang Chen approach, the immobile Aromatic Silk Beauty cried out in fear, "Octagonal, Jiao… Gourd, Zhi Zhi, save me! This human is terrifying!"
"Youyou!!" The other immortal herbs, seeing this, grew anxious, wanting to act but fearing they'd harm Youyou.
Wang Chen grabbed the Aromatic Silk Beauty, his hand searching, and soon retrieved a book from its stamen.
The book was pure white, made of an unknown material, soft like silk but far tougher, with a faint, warm texture.
It was the pharmacology and toxicology chapters of Tang San's Tang Sect treasure, the Mysterious Heaven Record.
The Aromatic Silk Beauty saw the book entrusted to it by Tang San being taken.
It whimpered, "You, you, you… This book was given to me by Sea God Tang San ten thousand years ago, to be passed to his descendants.
Give it back, or Tang San will send divine punishment to strike you dead!"
Wang Chen stored the book in his storage soul tool, then looked at the Aromatic Silk Beauty with a playful gaze, saying, "I'd like to see what divine punishment looks like. Go ahead and have Tang San send it."
"You… you, you!!" The Aromatic Silk Beauty hadn't expected someone to be so disrespectful to Tang San, so angry it could barely speak.
......
At the same time, in the God Realm.
Tang San, seeing a thief enter his Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, his face turned ashen, "Daring to steal my immortal herbs from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, this person has courted death!"
