"What, you look down on Soul Elders? Don't forget that when the Tang Sect's founder, Sea God Tang San, established the Tang Sect, he was only an Emperor of Souls. Haven't you heard the saying, 'Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west'?"
"Uh, no, I haven't heard that. I know what you're here for, but you'll have to pass a test if you want to obtain the Celestial Herbs." Aromatic Silk Beauty was somewhat displeased with Huo Yuhao's attitude, thinking, How dare you casually comment on that person?
Huo Yuhao, of course, knew what test it was referring to. In the original story, Dai Yuhao was nearly killed by Infernal Delicate Apricot. If it weren't for Snow Emperor's intervention, getting the Celestial Herbs would have been impossible.
Huo Yuhao didn't intend to follow that. He held up the Fixed Soul Guide Device in front of Aromatic Silk Beauty, shaking it slightly. "I guess the test is for us to fight you guys, right? No problem. Who wants to go first? Or you can all come at once."
"Human, the thing in your hand is powerful, but it shouldn't be your own strength. You can't use such things during the test."
Hearing this, Huo Yuhao sneered. "You probably don't know there's a profession called Soul Engineer, right? And if we can't use the weapons we make, then what's the point of making them? Then, what's the difference between us and you simple-minded, strong-limbed Soul Beasts?"
"Besides, you probably don't know that the Tang Sect is famous for its hidden weapons across the continent. According to your logic, the Tang Sect shouldn't even exist."
"Human, this is the blessed land left behind by Tang San, an ancestor of the Tang Sect. What I say are also the rules set by that person." Aromatic Silk Beauty's tone turned unfriendly. How could it not be angry after hearing Huo Yuhao's evaluation of the soul beasts?
"Despicable human, watch your words. This is not a place where you can be so presumptuous." Infernal Delicate Apricot was straightforward and cursed directly.
Hearing this, Huo Yuhao's face instantly turned cold. He looked at Infernal Delicate Apricot and said coldly, "A good beast. If you have the ability, say those words again. Do you believe I'll light you up right now?"
"What are you, just a piece of trash that lives here? You really think you're the master?"
Huo Yuhao's words were very harsh in the ears of the many soul beasts. Infernal Delicate Apricot, who had been furious just now, was insulted like this but actually shut its mouth and didn't dare to say a word.
Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass was secretly annoyed, but it didn't dare to provoke Huo Yuhao because it was wary of the destructive power of the Fixed Soul Guide Device in his hand. Aromatic Silk Beauty was even less likely to speak. That metal cylinder was only half a meter away from it. It was afraid that if it angered Huo Yuhao again at this time, it would become Huo Yuhao's tool for venting his anger.
"Human boy, enough, stop talking." A deep, low male voice came. Huo Yuhao's gaze swept over and saw a golden-colored sweet potato.
"Heh, am I wrong? Are you trying to tell me that you built this Ice Fire Yin Yang Well? You are uncomfortable with me calling you beasts, right? Then have you ever heard a saying, 'He who insults others will be insulted in return.' What gives you the confidence to provoke us again and again?"
The Celestial Herbs had no response, realizing that they were in the wrong.
At that moment, Huo Yuhao suddenly pointed at the Infernal Delicate Apricot and sternly said, "From now on, you'd better shut your stinking mouth. Otherwise, I'll just not take the Celestial Herbs and blow you up. Then I'll spread the news about this place. What do you think will happen?"
"Hehe, a 100,000-year-old plant-type soul beast, I believe many senior soul masters will be interested. Of course, if you think you can keep me here, you can try right now."
After Huo Yuhao finished speaking, the Celestial Herbs fell silent. In fact, they had just considered killing Huo Yuhao without any regard for the consequences. But on second thought, this person had obviously come prepared. Since he dared to fall out with them now, it went without saying that these two must have a way to retreat safely.
The soul beasts' anger surged. The world was cold and cruel; now, even a human child could ride roughshod over them. The key was that they were helpless.
Seeing that none of these guys made a sound, Huo Yuhao gradually calmed down, sneering inwardly. A bunch of cheapskates, they don't know how to appreciate a good thing.
"I'll say it one last time, hand over the Celestial Herb directory." Huo Yuhao looked back at the Aromatic Silk Beauty, his face expressionless.
"Here, I'll give it to you. Don't blow me up, okay?" The Aromatic Silk Beauty no longer mentioned any tests. It was truly afraid that this evil star would tremble and blow it up. The Aromatic Silk Beauty's tone actually had a pitiful feeling. Then, its flower bud opened, and a white-covered book flew out.
Huo Yuhao took the book with satisfaction. The Aromatic Silk Beauty's tone made him feel a little guilty.
However, Huo Yuhao wouldn't let sentiment cloud his judgment at this moment. Getting the Celestial Herbs was the priority.
"Right, before us, when was the last time someone came here?" Huo Yuhao stroked the book, suddenly thinking of this question. In fact, this would determine the age of the Celestial Herbs they could harvest.
The book in his hand was made of an unknown material. It was soft, somewhat like silk, but much more resilient. It felt warm and smooth to the touch.
"Huh?"
Aromatic Silk Beauty's purple pistils trembled, confused by Huo Yuhao's question. After swaying its flower body, it said uncertainly, "Um, I don't quite remember. Was it a few hundred years ago, or a thousand years ago?"
"You've been here all along, how could you not know? Or are you not telling the truth?" Huo Yuhao stared at Aromatic Silk Beauty, feeling deceived.
Aromatic Silk Beauty's stem trembled, and its flower bud retracted. It hastily explained, "I really don't remember. Almost no one can enter this valley. I usually spend my time sleeping and don't wake up easily. I, I really don't know anything."
"Alright, I'll believe you, for now." After listening to Aromatic Silk Beauty's explanation, Huo Yuhao realized that these were beings that had lived for tens of thousands of years. A nap for them could be decades, almost half a human's lifespan. He couldn't compare.
Seeing the Aromatic Silk Beauty's posture, as if begging to be let off, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but chuckle. This thing was too timid, as if he had done something to it.
No longer dwelling on the issue, Huo Yuhao began to look through the book in his hands. First, there were no words on the cover, nor was there a signature.
Opening the first page, the handwriting was ancient and imposing, with an old-fashioned opening line.
"Greetings, fated one. I am Tang San, the founder of the Tang Sect."
Upon seeing this first line, Huo Yuhao felt disgusted. How thick-skinned did one have to be to say something so self-righteous? Didn't Tang San know where the Tang Sect's martial arts, hidden weapons, and poison recipes came from?
The following content was quickly skimmed over.
"The Ice Fire Yin Yang Well is..."
"...From this point forward, you may not obtain more than seven Celestial Herbs."
"Well, this isn't a big problem. There weren't many Celestial Herbs to begin with. Huo Yuhao and Tang Ya each took seven, that's fourteen Celestial Herbs in total. The Ice Fire Yin Yang Well probably doesn't have that many Celestial Herbs."
"...Those who learn from my treasure record are considered members of the Tang Sect. You must not share the Medicine Chapter or the Poison Chapter with others, only use them yourselves. Be cautious, be very cautious."
Huo Yuhao wasn't interested in any of this. He didn't have the energy to study these unorthodox methods. He skipped the beginning and flipped through the pages until he reached the descriptions of the Celestial Herbs before stopping to study them carefully.
