Furina walked straight to the shore of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, squatted down, and gently buried the Seed of Life into the soil.
Strangely enough, as soon as it was planted, even before watering, the seed broke through the soil and sprouted tender green shoots.
"So amazing! As expected of the Goddess of Life's power!" Furina's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
He then planted the juvenile Flame of Living Creatures near the blazing apricot delicate flower.
After all, it was still a Heavenly Flame and naturally needed the nourishment of the fire element.
The blazing apricot delicate flower leaned over curiously, its flower head turning slightly as it observed the green flame. "Is this the flame you mentioned? How peculiar... it seems to have the feeling of Ultimate Fire as well."
You You also leaned in, carefully sensing the aura emitted by the Flame of Living Creatures.
She felt a dense wave of life energy from that flame, and even her own growth rate seemed to accelerate significantly.
"This... this..." You You's voice was filled with surprise. "It actually rivals the power of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well? What a miraculous flame!"
"Of course!" Furina stood with his hands on his hips, raising his chin triumphantly. "This is the Flame of Living Creatures, ranked fifth on the Heavenly Flame Ranking. With it here, you only need to sow the seeds of medicinal herbs, and they will grow rapidly."
He looked around at the surrounding Immortal Herbs. "Just as I said before, you all just need to grow slowly from now on and wait for me to harvest you."
Upon hearing this, You You's flower head slumped instantly, her voice tearful. "You... you're not planning to pull us all out, are you?"
Furina laughed and waved his hand. "Of course not, I definitely won't do that! But when it's time to harvest, I still have to. As for seeds and such, I'll definitely leave them for you."
He paused, his tone becoming a bit more serious. "Anyway, you've all been prepared for a long time; after all, you are Immortal Herbs. And who knows, I might even give some of you... a chance to become gods."
"Really?" You You snapped her head up, her flower head trembling, her voice full of disbelief. "You're not lying to us, are you?"
"Of course not, but not just yet." Furina held up a finger. "Besides, I have to find suitable candidates for you. If no one fits, then there's nothing I can do."
While he spoke, he was already calculating in his mind.
The Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass would definitely go to Huo Yuhao, as it did in the original story. As for the blazing apricot delicate flower... it could go to Gu Qiuer or Ma Xiaotao, provided Ma Xiaotao has the potential to become a god.
Or it could be given to Xiao Huohuo of the Jianan Academy; that guy also has a fire Martial Soul, and with her help, his Martial Soul might even evolve into Ultimate Fire.
Both the qiluo tulip and the Fragrant Lustrous Immortal Grade could become Tang Ya's spirit souls. Of course, the former also favors the light attribute, so perhaps it could be given to Bei Bei or Wang Dong.
The water that gazes through autumn dew could also be given to Huo Yuhao. The Earth Dragon Golden Squash... this thing is a soil-attribute plant Soul Beast; maybe it could go to Xiao Xiao? The Three Lives Soul Suppressing Cauldron should be able to absorb the soil attribute...
Before he could finish his thoughts, the System's notification sounded in his mind.
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the treasure land, the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. At the same time, a reminder: you have been targeted by Tang San, completely targeted. You have successfully made it onto Tang San's little grudge notebook.]
"Damn, that was fast!" Furina grumbled internally. "As expected of... is this his territory? Fine, never mind that, give me my rewards."
Being targeted by Tang San was bound to happen sooner or later anyway. Forcing his way in to occupy this treasure land was essentially laying his cards on the table, showing he was completely at odds with him.
There was no point in worrying too much about such things. The rewards were more important!
[Obtained: Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower x1, Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid x1, qiluo tulip x1, Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng x1, Son of Heaven Fruit Seeds x1.]
"What? Wait!" Furina cried out in his mind. "Son of Heaven Fruit? You can even give me that?"
The System replied calmly, "Of course. However, it is only seeds. The host can grow the Son of Heaven Fruit Divine Tree, cultivating it with the power of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and the Flame of Living Creatures."
"Heh... then I really must guard this place well," Furina thought.
Unfortunately, Neuvillette absolutely couldn't be transferred here; there were too many matters for him to handle at the Axis Cult, and they couldn't do without him.
The four great protectors led by Lei Bao were still too weak and couldn't suppress these Immortal Herbs. As for someone trustworthy, only Di Tian on the Soul Beast side remained.
Furina's gaze instinctively drifted toward where Di Tian was.
Di Tian noticed his gaze and raised an eyebrow slightly. "What is it? Is there something else you need help with?"
"Of course!" Furina didn't stand on ceremony. "I hope you can come here to guard it, or have some of the other Vicious Beasts stationed here for a while."
Di Tian looked puzzled. "Why? Ordinary people can't find this place at all. Even if they did, the toxic miasma alone isn't something an ordinary person can pass through—even a Titled Douluo trying to break in would pay a heavy price."
He looked around at the surrounding Immortal Herbs, his tone somewhat dismissive. "Even if they did break in, their end wouldn't be much better. Look at these Immortal Herbs; though they seem weak to me, they're more than enough to handle an average Titled Douluo or a Vicious Beast of the Red King's level."
Furina nodded. "Indeed, you're right. But I'm not worried about someone breaking in—"
He held up a finger, his expression turning a bit more serious. "But rather someone setting things up. You must know, this place used to be the territory of that Sea God Tang San. Now that we've broken in, we've likely been targeted by him. I'm only worried he'll pull some tricks later on."
As he spoke, he pointed to the newly planted Seed of Life and the Flame of Living Creatures.
"Moreover, I've already placed some of my most valuable possessions here. At the same time, the trials of the God Trial are also here." He looked at Di Tian with a solemn tone. "So, I need a strong person as qualified and competent as you to guard this place."
Hearing this, Di Tian looked in the direction he pointed.
Whether it was the newly sprouted seed or that green flame, he could sense they were no ordinary objects. Especially on that seed, there was the aura of a god, an aura at the God King level.
This item was not simple. It was indeed a great treasure.
Di Tian pondered for a moment and slowly spoke, "No problem. I'll agree to it. I've nothing else to do anyway."
He paused. "That seed must be a divine object given to you by the Goddess of Life, right? Since it's related to life, I think the water from the Lake of Life would have a significant effect on it. Also, having Bi Ji Cultivate near it should be quite good."
He calculated in his mind: Although Bi Ji was a Vicious Beast, her actual combat power wasn't high, as she mainly focused on healing. If she could Cultivate here, she might even gain some insight into the power of life or the Law of Life, allowing her cultivation to progress further. If he were no longer around in the future, Bi Ji would have the power to protect herself and break through the Heavenly Tribulation.
Furina's eyes lit up. "You're right! But you'll definitely have to accompany her then."
He suddenly changed the subject, looking at Di Tian with a smile. "By the way, between Bi Ji and Zi Ji—which one do you like?"
Di Tian was stunned, clearly caught off guard by the sudden question. "This...? You're jumping topics too fast! This has nothing to do with you, right?"
"Aww—" Furina drawled, wearing an expression that said 'I'm worried sick for you'. "I'm just anxious for you, the Beast God Di Tian. You can't stay single forever, can you? Besides, Soul Beasts don't have monogamy; you could marry a few more wives and produce some offspring."
Di Tian rolled his eyes speechlessly. "You guy..."
He sighed. "You're just like your followers, simply exasperating. Don't worry about my business; you'd better mind your own." He raised the book in his hand. "I've already picked out the Immortal Herbs; they might be of help to the Lord."
He looked at the flower in Furina's hand. "And you? Did you only pick one flower?"
"I picked mine out long ago," Furina said with a giggle. "The rest is just setting things up here a bit." He pointed around. "I'll also have to trouble you to use your mental force to check the surroundings and see if there are any hidden dangers."
"You certainly think highly of me." Di Tian gave a bitter smile. "If there really is something left by a God King, I might not necessarily be able to tell. After all, the gap in Divine Sense is too large."
"Just do your best." Furina patted his arm, his tone lighthearted.
"Fine." Di Tian responded helplessly.
A breeze blew through the valley, and the Immortal Herbs quietly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed these two ancestors had finally settled down.
