Di Tian first separated some Soul Power to cast a layer of protection around Furina.
There were too many plants around, densely packed together, emitting all sorts of strange auras, some of which might even be poisonous.
If anything were to happen to Furina, it would certainly not be a good thing for him.
First of all, the cooperation between his side and the Axis Cult would be in jeopardy; if they really wanted to ascend to the God Realm, Furina's strength would be indispensable.
Secondly, Furina's Axis Cult was currently very beneficial to the development of the Soul Beast clan. Once technologies like Artificial Soul Rings, artificial soul bones, self-condensing spirit rings, and self-condensing Spirit Bones were completed, it would be a huge boon for the Soul Beast clan.
Furthermore, those Cultivation Techniques could also allow their Soul Beasts to rapidly improve their cultivation and enhance their overall strength.
In this way, even if humans became stronger in the future and completely surpassed the Soul Beasts, they would not have to fear that humans would harm the Soul Beast clan.
Therefore, he had to make foolproof preparations. Moreover, he was the Beast God Di Tian; how could he commit such a low-level error?
Bearing the name of Beast God and the title of the number one Vicious Beast, if he couldn't even protect a little girl at the Spirit Saint level, wouldn't that be a laughingstock?
"That said, it's only been a few days, and your cultivation has already increased significantly." Di Tian sensed the aura on Furina and spoke casually.
Furina waved his hand dismissively, "Your reaction is too slow, isn't it? I have two God Trials; isn't it normal for my Cultivate speed to increase quickly?"
"That is true." Di Tian withdrew his gaze, his tone settling, "Are you ready? I am about to make a move."
"Of course, anytime." Furina nodded decisively.
"Hmm."
Everything was ready. Just as Di Tian was about to act, a gentle female voice rang out clearly.
"Stop. It is your good fortune to be able to come here. Do not act recklessly here, otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite."
The speaker was a large pink flower, its petals layered, swaying gently in the breeze and emitting a faint halo.
Di Tian snorted coldly and immediately released his aura. That majestic pressure crushed over like a physical force, and the air seemed to solidify for an instant.
"You say, who are you going to be impolite to?"
The large pink flower trembled violently, its voice changing pitch, "W-what!? You, how are you so powerful?"
It was the first time she had encountered such a powerful aura. In these ten thousand years, it was the first time.
She knew she had provoked a tough opponent. The guy who could come here was much more powerful than she had imagined. No wonder she only felt the relatively weak aura of the little girl beside him earlier; it turned out that this one was the truly terrifying existence.
Di Tian looked at her coldly, his tone unquestionable, "Don't say these useless things. Considering your cultivation was not easy, from now on, I ask and you answer. Otherwise, I will pull out your roots right now."
As he spoke, he continued to release his pressure. The other 100,000-Year Soul Beast plants nearby, upon sensing this aura, all curled up into balls, shivering, not daring to let out a breath.
There was no help for it; they had always lived here, and no one had ever broken in, nor had any Soul Beast been able to break in.
As it turned out, the first time someone entered in these ten thousand years, it was such a powerful expert. The disparity in strength was too vast; even if they had the intention to resist, they wouldn't be a match for him combined.
"Yes, yes, yes, yes!" The large pink flower nodded repeatedly, its petals trembling slightly.
Di Tian asked, "What is your name?"
"That person said I am an Immortal Herb and called me the Youxiang Qiluo Immortal Grade. You can call me Youyou." Youyou answered cautiously, her voice carrying a hint of ingratiation.
Di Tian turned his head to look at Furina, "Have you heard of it?"
Furina nodded, "I know this one. It possesses the effect of neutralizing toxins and is known as the nemesis of all poisons, but it can only suppress toxins, not cure them. The person she spoke of must be Tang San."
He looked around, "This place is also known as the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. Every plant that grows here for one day is equivalent to growing for ten days outside. Don't be fooled by the fact that they are all 100,000-Year Soul Beast, in reality, they might only be ten thousand years old."
He paused and added, "Hmm, but this is quite normal. Even for 100,000-Year Soul Beast, not all of them have truly Cultivate for one hundred thousand years."
Di Tian nodded slightly, expressing agreement. Indeed, there are many Soul Beasts that Cultivate by devouring. For example, that Evil Emperor, whose race, the Delusion Tyrant clan, relies on devouring other lives to increase their own cultivation.
Furina turned his gaze to Youyou, his tone as casual as if he were ordering a trivial matter, "Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Youyou, hurry up and hand over that book. From now on, this place belongs to us, and you don't need to wait for that person anymore."
Di Tian thought to himself: This girl really knows a lot, she even knows there is a book here? However... he is also very clear about the Lord's situation, so this is not very strange. She really has a lot of secrets. Cooperating with her is indeed, as the Lord said, a correct choice.
Youyou hesitated, her flower disk drooping slightly, as if she were undergoing an intense psychological struggle. But facing Di Tian's undisguised pressure, she had to compromise. She took out a book from somewhere unknown and handed it over tremblingly.
Di Tian took the book and flipped it open casually. After reading the first page, he knew that it was indeed left behind by that Tang San back in the day.
"I am very happy that someone can see my message. Being able to pass the test of the Youxiang Qiluo Immortal Grade proves that you already have the qualifications to read this book. This book was written by the Tang Sect ancestor Tang San; it records the differences between various Immortal Herbs and poisonous herbs, as well as some lost poison-using methods of the Tang Sect. After learning, please leave the book behind and use its abilities cautiously."
After finishing this page, Di Tian flipped to the second page. Following that were some of Tang San's words, saying things like he didn't dare to monopolize it after discovering it, and then replanting it, and so on.
Di Tian sneered in his heart: What do you mean by not monopolizing it? Since you didn't monopolize it, why did you seal this thing up? Why not make it public? And it even said above that only his companions ate it, no outsiders. Sure enough, humans are still better at talking.
He didn't look any further, but handed the book to Furina, "You read it yourself. I won't watch."
Furina took the book and flipped through it carefully. The general content was about the same as in his impression.
"If one encounters a person with poor Heart-Nature, one fears that living beings will be devastated." He read out one of the sentences, the corners of his mouth curling up slightly, his tone carrying a hint of mockery, "This sentence is quite suitable for you yourself, Tang San. Also, the Medicine Chapter and Poison Chapter from the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record are also left here... If I take them back for Tang Ya to see, I wonder what she will think?"
Youyou was terrified now, her petals had retracted a bit, just hoping that these two ancestors would leave here quickly. Not only were they outrageously powerful, they also spoke ill of the person she mentioned, clearly full of dissatisfaction; who knows if they would vent their anger on these Immortal Herbs of theirs later.
Furina withdrew his thoughts and ordered, "Alright, I need the Yearning Heartbroken Red now."
Youyou gathered the courage to speak at this moment, her voice thin, "The Yearning Heartbroken Red must be picked by someone who is thinking of their beloved in their heart, with sincere intent, spitting a mouthful of blood onto the petals. If you don't have a beloved, it is impossible to pick it. Didn't you read the book?"
Furina rolled his eyes, "Of course I know. But in reality, rather than calling it picking, it's better to say it's letting it Bloom. I just need to pick it, and then give it to someone who has a person they like, and this guy will be fine."
He turned his head to look at Di Tian, "Di Tian, you see what needs to be collected. Things that can heal your Lord, or things for you and your brothers and sisters to take, all are fine."
As he spoke, he handed the book over again.
Di Tian took the book and flipped through it again, his gaze wandering among the text recording the medicinal properties of the Immortal Herbs.
Furina walked towards the direction of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, "I'll just plant a seed in the lake over there."
Youyou spoke nervously again, "Plant what kind of seed? If it is not an Immortal Herb, you had better not plant it. Only Immortal Herbs can grow here; ordinary plants cannot grow. Moreover, only the two Immortal Herbs, Ajiao and Bajiao, can grow in the middle of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well."
Furina said without turning his head, "This does not need your reminder. What I want to plant is definitely extraordinary, and stronger than you all."
He paused, "Also, I will place a ball of fire here. You will inject your own aura into that fire when the time comes to help it nourish."
Upon hearing this, Youyou became even more worried, her petals trembling, "Wh-what kind of fire? You aren't going to burn this place of mine, are you?"
"Burn my foot!" Furina glared back at her in annoyance, "Is the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well afraid of being burned?"
His tone softened a little, "I already said, this place will be my territory in the future. How could I bear to burn you all?"
Youyou finally breathed a sigh of relief, her flower disk opening slightly, "That's good... that's good..."
