When he saw those immortal herbs, Tang San's mood was absolutely one of ecstatic excitement. But if he could only stare helplessly as Ao Tian picked them instead, he didn't know whether he could withstand such a blow of soaring joy followed by crushing sorrow.
Half an hour later, Qian Renxue finally washed herself until she was clean and spotless.
Every woman's feeling was completely different. Even though he had spent two nights with Qian Renxue, the freshness that was different from Gu Yuena still made it hard for Ao Tian to pull himself away.
It wasn't until daylight that Ao Tian prepared to leave.
Before leaving, he helped Qian Renxue recover her strength and exhausted spirit.
Qian Renxue's body couldn't compare to Gu Yuena's. Two days of irregular "lifestyle" had already thrown her hormones into imbalance. She needed time to rest before she could recover.
That night, Ao Tian occasionally shifted his focus to observe Tang San's situation.
Tang San had already been seized by Dugu Bo and brought into Sunset Forest. First, he was thrown into a cave where he almost died at Dugu Bo's hands.
But Tang San, relying on his knowledge of poison and his sharp tongue, grabbed hold of Dugu Bo's Achilles heel and forced him into a bet.
Afterwards, Dugu Bo brought Tang San to the Ice–Fire Yin Yang Well and made him stay there for one day.
After one day, he would return to test Tang San's understanding of poison to see whether he could truly detoxify him.
Once Dugu Bo left, Tang San finally discovered the enormous treasure that was the Ice–Fire Yin Yang Well. The Xuan Tian Bao Lu had records of such a heavenly land.
And many of the immortal herbs recorded in the Xuan Tian Bao Lu, he actually saw several varieties right here.
In truth, those "immortal herbs," in Ao Tian's eyes, were merely top-grade spirit herbs. They were simply so effective that mortals gave them titles like immortal herb.
True immortal herbs were nothing these worldly things could compare to.
After discovering so many treasures, Tang San was wild with excitement. He saw hope for his own rise—he even saw the hope of Tang Sect rising in this world.
As long as he consumed these legendary immortal herbs, his cultivation would rise several ranks with no side effects, and his future cultivation speed would greatly increase.
If that happened, Ao Tian would no longer be placed in his eyes—surpassing him would be effortless.
These immortal herbs all had the effect of stabilizing the foundation and nourishing the origin. Directly consuming them would not create any backlash.
Moreover, if he occupied this treasure ground, it would be a tremendous benefit for Tang Sect's future development.
He had even already planned to give Dai Mubai and the others a few immortal herbs to increase their strength, then let Shrek Academy achieve good results in the Soul Master Competition.
Tang San had not forgiven Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun, but for the academy's honor, what was sacrificing a few immortal herbs?
Tang San surveyed the Ice–Fire Yin Yang Well, remaining excited for quite a while.
In the end, he calmed down instead. Many of the herbs here were nourishing, but many were also poisonous. With his steady nature, he would not act rashly.
He sat cross-legged, reviewing the knowledge from the Xuan Tian Bao Lu in preparation for harvesting and consuming the herbs.
Only when dawn arrived did he open his eyes. He had reviewed the Xuan Tian Bao Lu entirely, and he had adjusted his state to its peak.
Next came the time to gather the treasures.
Dugu Bo didn't recognize these immortal herbs. Leaving them here was wasteful, so Tang San naturally wouldn't.
When Ao Tian's divine sense swept over, he saw Tang San standing up at that very moment.
It was time to go. Ao Tian's lips curved slightly. He walked to the bathroom door and called out, "Xue'er, I'm heading out first. I'll come see you again when I have time."
"Mm, you go back first," Qian Renxue replied.
Ao Tian's figure vanished. When he appeared again, he was already within Sunset Forest.
He stepped once, disappeared again, and then appeared atop the mountain beside the Ice–Fire Yin Yang Well.
The Ice–Fire Yin Yang Well was located within a valley, surrounded by mountains four to five hundred meters tall.
Ao Tian stood atop the mountain. Before him, thick white mist swirled.
The sun had already risen, but that dense white mist showed no sign of dissipating under the sunlight.
No wonder only Dugu Bo had discovered this place for so many years—this place was indeed extremely hidden.
Ao Tian's gaze pierced through the mist and saw the situation below.
Tang San had already stood up, drew out a dagger, and with barely concealed excitement approached the shore of the Ice–Fire Yin Yang Well.
What he wanted now was not to prepare for Dugu Bo's test, but to consume two supreme immortal treasures: the Octuple Mysterious Ice Grass and the Fiery Apricot Jiaoshu.
These two immortal herbs were both extremely poisonous. Consumed alone, even a Titled Douluo would die instantly, but consumed together, their effects became completely opposite—turning into a powerful tonic.
After consuming them, Tang San's cultivation would absolutely improve dramatically.
Most importantly, he could borrow the medicinal effects of these two immortal herbs to enter the Ice–Fire Yin Yang Well—a forbidden zone for humans—and use the extreme cold and extreme heat of the spring water to temper his body.
After the body was tempered by the Ice–Fire Yin Yang Well, its strength and toughness would greatly increase, and he would gain immunity to all poisons and immunity to ice and fire.
Ice–fire immunity meant that in the future, against ice or fire attacks, as long as the opponent wasn't overwhelmingly stronger than him, he could completely ignore them.
Tang San firmly believed that these two immortal herbs were his heaven-sent opportunity—and might even change his destiny.
With these two herbs, surpassing Ao Tian would no longer be difficult.
Thinking about how Ao Tian had beaten him all these years, Tang San's mind and heart unexpectedly felt relaxed at this moment.
He really wanted to see what sort of expression Ao Tian would have when he was finally defeated by him.
Would he still maintain that arrogant, condescending posture?
"The higher a person's pride, the harder they fall. When the time comes, he'll probably collapse completely." Tang San thought lightly.
Holding the dagger, he walked step by step toward the Octuple Mysterious Ice Grass.
This herb could not be harvested by normal means—it had to be cut with a metal blade.
Just as he approached the Octuple Mysterious Ice Grass, he suddenly heard a light landing sound behind him.
"Dugu Bo came back?" This thought flashed through his mind, and he immediately turned around.
When he saw that figure clothed in white, Tang San's pupils contracted sharply as he cried out in shock, "Ao Tian—how is it you!?"
He had just been thinking about Ao Tian moments earlier, yet he didn't expect Ao Tian to appear here.
"This is impossible!" Tang San thought.
He rubbed his eyes, but Ao Tian was still Ao Tian—undeniably real.
"No need to doubt—it's me," Ao Tian said with a calm smile.
Though Tang San didn't understand how Ao Tian suddenly appeared here, he forced himself to calm down.
"How do you know about this place?" Tang San said coldly, his heart already vigilant.
Dugu Bo had told him earlier that no one else knew about this place, so Tang San could not understand how Ao Tian knew.
And what did Ao Tian come here for?Was he after the immortal herbs?
"That's impossible. Even Dugu Bo couldn't recognize them. How could Ao Tian? In this world, aside from me, no one could recognize these immortal herbs." Tang San thought, and he relaxed slightly.
"How I know about this place isn't important. What's important is—I came here today to pick herbs." Ao Tian smiled.
Tang San froze for a moment, then a wave of immense fear surged up in his heart.
Ao Tian really had come here for the herbs!
