—------------------—
Inside the cave, Wei Zhenshan, Dugu Bo and the newly reborn Dugu Xin were all immersed in great joy, with laughter and emotion intertwined.
Wei Bian maintained a proper smile on his face, nodding in agreement from time to time, but his mind had already flown to the fairy garden outside the cave.
His gaze seemed to be able to penetrate the stone wall and fall on the core of the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire.
Beside the two springs, the red and milky white, grew two peerless immortal plants:
"Fiery Apricot" and "Eight-angled Ice Grass".
As far as he knew, if one could simultaneously consume these two magical herbs with diametrically opposed properties, and then use the power of the Yin-Yang Eye Spring to temper one's body, one would be able to create the legendary "Golden Body of Ice and Fire."
This method can not only greatly strengthen the body and tap into deep potential, but also bring about a rapid surge in soul power!
He is now a Soul Master of the 36th level. If he can successfully refine these two immortal herbs, with their enormous energy, his soul power will continuously break through, and reaching the threshold of the 40th level is almost a foregone conclusion.
By then, if he absorbs another suitable spirit ring, he will be able to enter the Soul Sect realm in one fell swoop!
A Soul Master who is seven years old, or strictly speaking, not even seven years old?
If this news were to spread, the entire Douluo Continent would probably be shocked.
"We must refine the immortal grass as soon as possible, lay a solid foundation, and fully realize this potential."
Wei Feng pondered in his heart.
"Only in this way can the path of cultivation become smoother and faster.
By the time the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Competition, which gathers all the continent's geniuses, opens six years from now, my strength will probably have far surpassed that of my peers…"
His thoughts couldn't help but drift to the peerless Tang Sect era ten thousand years later.
In that era, a chosen one like Ma Xiaotao already possessed the amazing cultivation level of Soul Emperor or even Soul Saint when participating in the competition!
What a terrifying cultivation speed is that?
In contrast, in the current state of Douluo Continent, top-notch meditation techniques are scarce, systematic medicinal bathing and body-building techniques are lacking, and methods for increasing the age of spirit rings are unheard of...
Compared with the prosperity ten thousand years later, the cultivation system of this era seems particularly primitive and extensive.
Thinking of this, Wei Feng couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
All he could rely on was his foresight about the "plot".
Only by desperately seizing every opportunity to improve oneself can one barely catch up with those gifted geniuses who lived thousands of years later.
From the very beginning, this path to becoming a strong man was destined to require him to pay more and calculate more than others in order to reach the heights that people admire.
After Dugu Bo finished speaking, he bowed solemnly to Wei Zhenshan and Wei Feng, his tone sincere and generous:
"Brother Wei, Feng'er, I'll take Xin'er with me and be back soon. You two can use this Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire, and all the herbs within it, as you please!"
From today on, this place will be jointly owned by my Dugu family and the Wei family!
I only hope that if my Dugu family needs to use this precious place to suppress poison in the future, you will be of assistance."
Dugu Bo knew very well that without the Wei family, not only would it be difficult to preserve this precious land, but even his son's life would be in danger.
This gift is not only a return for the Wei family's kindness, but also a sincerity that completely ties the interests of the two families together.
Before he finished speaking, Dugu Bo did not delay any longer. The soul power in his body surged, and the huge Green Phosphorus Snake King martial spirit possessed his body again.
He carried Dugu Xin, who had just broken through and whose breath still needed to be stabilized, and turned into a stream of green light.
It soared into the sky, instantly passed through the thick poisonous barrier, and disappeared beyond the horizon.
She was eager to find a seventh soul ring for her beloved son that would best suit his new martial soul, the "Green Scaled Flame Dragon."
After watching Dugu Bo and his son leave, only the Wei family's grandfather and grandson were left outside the cave.
The cave, which had been filled with tension just now, suddenly became quiet. The only sound left was the "gurgling" sound coming from the confluence of the Yin-Yang Eye springs of ice and fire, and the rich energy and medicinal fragrance in the air.
Wei Zhenshan stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes sweeping over the fairy medicinal garden below, which was said to be unique in the world.
Then he looked at his grandson, whose eyes were shining, and a meaningful smile appeared on his face:
"Feng'er, did you hear what Brother Dugu said?
Now, this precious land and these rare treasures are at the disposal of our Wei family.
You just now... seemed to be particularly attentive to these flowers and plants?"
Wei Feng took a deep breath, and the mixture of extreme cold and heat and the fragrance of countless immortal herbs rushed into his lungs, which lifted his spirits.
He turned to look at his grandfather, his eyes flashing with irrepressible excitement and anticipation, and nodded heavily:
"Grandpa, our chance has arrived!"
Upon hearing this, Wei Zhenshan's gaze swept across the glittering medicinal garden below him again. Although there was still admiration in his eyes, there was also a hint of cautious doubt.
He frowned slightly and looked at Wei Feng:
"Feng'er, the opportunity you mentioned refers to these herbs?
They are indeed extraordinary products. The dragon fungus leaves and thousand-year-old ginseng king you used just now have shown miraculous effects.
But I have observed that the medicinal herbs here have different properties, some have strong energies, some have weak energies, and some even have a faintly dangerous aura.
Do you really know their respective functions?
If we misjudge the situation, wouldn't that be extremely dangerous?"
It's not that he didn't believe his grandson's judgment, but this matter concerned his life and cultivation, so he couldn't be careless.
After all, when it comes to the art of herbs, even the slightest mistake can lead to a huge error.
Seeing his grandfather's worry, Wei Feng couldn't help but chuckle, his face full of confidence, and patiently explained:
"Don't worry, Grandpa. I do know a bit about this.
Ordinary herbs, no matter how old they are, are still ordinary things after all.
And here, the truly precious things are those 'Immortal Herbs' that have undergone a qualitative transformation after being nourished by ice and fire energy for tens of thousands of years!"
He paused, pointed at Wei Zhenshan, and gave an example:
"The 'Earth Dragon Golden Gourd' that you refined earlier, which helped you break through to the Titled Douluo level, is a type of immortal herb!
Its efficacy is far beyond that of ordinary thousand- or ten-thousand-year-old herbs."
Then, Wei Feng's eyes became scorching, and he pointed in a certain direction in the Immortal Garden, his tone filled with excitement:
"Grandpa, look, that golden vine with dragon-shaped patterns wrapped around it is the other 'Earth Dragon Golden Pumpkin'!
Moreover, its age is far greater than the one you absorbed before!"
"The one you had before was only a few thousand years old, yet it already had such miraculous effects.
And this one in front of me..."
Wei Feng's voice couldn't help but rise a few notches.
"Its energy fluctuations are steady and vast. According to my grandson's observations, it is a full 40,000 years old!
Although it is not as good as some of the hundred thousand year old immortal herbs here, it is definitely a rare treasure that can only be found by chance!"
Wei Zhenshan looked in the direction Wei Feng pointed, and indeed saw a vine with an even more bizarre shape and a more restrained and rich golden light. His heart was immediately filled with shock.
Forty thousand years old immortal herb?
Its value is probably difficult to estimate!
However, Wei Feng's next words made Wei Zhenshan's pupils shrink suddenly, as if he had heard something out of the ordinary.
