In that single blast, who knew how many spirit herbs and medicines had been destroyed? Huo Yuhao felt a pang of sympathy, but there was no other way. He had to do this. The Soul Beasts of the Icefire Dual Eye were softies, but only if you were stronger than them.
If your strength wasn't up to par, these things would try every means to eliminate you. It wasn't just because they hated humans, but also because this place couldn't be exposed. Otherwise, once outsiders knew there were large quantities of treasures here that could advance cultivation and even enhance a Soul Master's martial soul potential, they would basically be sentenced to death.
Once the smoke at the Yang Spring completely dissipated, Huo Yuhao could see the utter mess. The Yang Spring could only be described with those four words. Only a few herbs remained. The most eye-catching was a plant shaped like a white cabbage, completely red. The flame beam that had attacked Huo Yuhao earlier was its doing.
Infernal Delicate Apricot. That was the name of this cabbage-like celestial herb, a top-grade fire-attribute celestial herb.
"Human, you seek death." Infernal Delicate Apricot trembled violently. It didn't open its mouth, but it roared in anger.
Facing this giant cabbage that had been around for who knew how many years, Huo Yuhao couldn't be bothered to bicker with it. He used only one move to shut the cabbage up.
He revealed a metal cylinder identical to the previous one in his hand. It was the remaining Sixth-Rank Fixed Soul Guidance Device.
"Human, what exactly do you want?" Infernal Delicate Apricot angrily demanded, but this time it didn't attack. It had struggled to resist that thing earlier, and a few more of them would probably mean its demise.
"Icefire Dual Eye, a single eye with two forms, the two opposing elements interacting with each other. This is truly a treasure trove bestowed by the heavens. Tell me, what do you think we're here for?" Huo Yuhao said with a chuckle, making no attempt to hide his intentions. In fact, he couldn't have hidden them even if he tried.
"You dare! You despicable human…" Infernal Delicate Apricot was furious once it understood that Huo Yuhao was after the immortal herbs, and immediately began to curse, its emotions running high.
However, before it could finish, the Sixth-Rank Fixed Soul Guidance Device's metal cylinder was hurled towards it.
Another explosion followed, and a portion of the flora around the Icefire Dual Eye was destroyed. Although Infernal Delicate Apricot endured, Huo Yuhao knew they were suffering.
Huo Yuhao estimated that the Sixth-Rank Fixed Soul Guidance Device's explosive power was equivalent to a full-power strike from an ordinary Soul Douluo. While that wouldn't be much for other Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts, these plant-type Soul Beasts' combat strength was simply appalling, a disgrace to their kind.
"Human, you've gone too far!" This time, the voice was also female, but it wasn't Infernal Delicate Apricot speaking.
Huo Yuhao looked in the direction of the voice and saw an Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass. It resembled a large white flower, with ice-crystal-like stamens at its center, shimmering with a faint glow.
Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, the information about this immortal herb surfaced in Huo Yuhao's mind. In truth, he only knew Infernal Delicate Apricot and the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass. The reason was simple: their locations were just too obvious.
"Oh, am I being excessive? Didn't it attack me first? If I were just a regular Soul Ancestor, I'd probably be dead by now. So, where exactly am I being excessive?"
Speaking of which, Huo Yuhao looked at Infernal Delicate Apricot and smiled. "Your tone makes me uncomfortable. When I'm uncomfortable, I like to throw things." With that, Huo Yuhao pulled out the last Eighth-Rank Soul Guidance Device from his purple chain and held it up, looking eager to try it out.
In reality, Huo Yuhao was bluffing these Soul Beasts. He had casually thrown out two Sixth-Rank Fixed Soul Guidance Devices earlier, which would give these Soul Beasts the illusion that he had a lot of such weapons. Pulling out an Eighth-Rank Soul Guidance Device again was meant to deepen this illusion, making these Soul Beasts hesitant to act. Moreover, the danger of an Eighth-Rank Soul Guidance Device was far greater than a Sixth-Rank one. Huo Yuhao believed that these Soul Beasts would soften up once they felt the danger.
"Human, stop! Aren't you after the immortal herbs? If you keep blowing things up, there'll be nothing left here!" Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass panicked when Huo Yuhao took out the Eighth-Rank Soul Guidance Device. It could sense that this thing was far more dangerous than the previous two.
What a temper! He just starts blowing things up at the slightest provocation. No, wait, it's blowing up plants.
In contrast, Huo Yuhao actually stopped when he heard Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass's call, deliberately putting on a thoughtful look.
All the immortal herbs remained silent, all of them could see that this guy was not to be trifled with. He had too many strange things on him, and all of them had ridiculously high destructive power.
After a long while, Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass saw Huo Yuhao nod. He then heard Huo Yuhao say, "Alright, I can refrain from attacking the sentient immortal herbs here. But if something like that happens again, don't blame me for being rude. Although I only have a dozen or so of these things left, I can still blow up one or two of you."
After saying this, Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass saw Huo Yuhao shaking the metal cylinder in front of him.
"Don't worry, it won't happen again, I promise." The Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass immediately said, secretly thinking it was fortunate to have calmed this troublemaker down. Forget about this one who was clearly more powerful than before, even a dozen or so of the metal cylinders Huo Yuhao had thrown out previously would be a struggle for them.
"Hmph, you know what's good for you." Huo Yuhao snorted coldly, putting away the Eighth-Rank Soul Guidance Device. He was already laughing inwardly; these Soul Beasts had grown in the Icefire Dual Eye for so long, isolated from the world, their minds were still too simple compared to humans.
If it were a Soul Master, they would know Huo Yuhao was bluffing. Eighth-Rank Soul Guidance Devices weren't exactly common, let alone a dozen of them.
"Which one of you is the Aromatic Silk Beauty?" Huo Yuhao asked the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass. He couldn't help it; in his perception, there were over a dozen Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts in the Icefire Dual Eye, but he only recognized the Infernal Delicate Apricot and the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass.
But it didn't matter. He didn't know, but the Infernal Delicate Apricot and the others did, and Huo Yuhao remembered someone had left behind books recording the immortal herbs here.
However, Huo Yuhao found it was very quiet; no one answered him.
They're quite loyal, Huo Yuhao smiled slightly, then took out the Eighth-Rank Soul Guidance Device again. Then, he didn't say anything, just casually fiddling with the metal cylinders.
"You, do you need something from me?" At this moment, a timid female voice came.
Looking in the direction of the voice, Huo Yuhao saw a large, pale pink flower. It had no leaves, and its stem was nearly a yard long. The flower itself was enormous, with each petal appearing as crystal-clear as a gem.
The pale pink flower swayed gently with the mist, and its location was also quite particular, situated on the bank where the yang spring and the ice spring met.
Huo Yuhao and Tang Ya walked over to the Aromatic Silk Beauty, examining the large, pale pink flower before them. Especially the soft, translucent petals, which reminded Huo Yuhao of a food from his memory: jelly.
"Sister Ya, do you get the feeling it would taste delicious?" Huo Yuhao subconsciously asked Tang Ya beside him. The Aromatic Silk Beauty so close made Huo Yuhao feel a refreshing aura, and coupled with its appearance, he truly had an impulse to take a bite.
Tang Ya gave Huo Yuhao a strange look, but didn't offer any opinion.
In contrast, the Aromatic Silk Beauty was frightened by Huo Yuhao's words, its pink flower bud shrinking in fear. "Human, you said you wouldn't attack a spirit-possessing celestial herb. Moreover, I've already grown for ten thousand years and am old and tough, not tasty at all."
Huo Yuhao looked at the trembling flower before him, finding it amusing. Its image just crumbled, didn't it? In the original story, wasn't this guy a motormouth?
"Alright, I won't say more nonsense. I'll introduce someone to you. She's called Tang Ya, and she's the current master of the Tang Sect. I don't need to remind you what you should do next, right?" Huo Yuhao pulled Tang Ya over and introduced her to the Aromatic Silk Beauty.
"What, she's from the Tang Sect, and she's the Sect Master?" Aromatic Silk Beauty's voice was filled with surprise, as if in disbelief. Aromatic Silk Beauty re-examined Tang Ya's cultivation.
"Human, you're not joking with me, are you? This girl, just a Soul Elder, and she's the Tang Sect's Sect Master?" Aromatic Silk Beauty seriously doubted Huo Yuhao's words. There had been people from the Tang Sect before, but she'd never seen anyone this weak.
The phone was in my pocket earlier, and I hadn't locked the screen. I must have accidentally pressed something. I'll be notified when I rebuild it later.
