Chapter 71 Jumping off the Cliff into the Valley, Frantically Collecting Immortal Herbs
The spring on the left was entirely red, with steam rising from it. The spring on the right, in stark contrast, was a still, icy blue surface.
The two springs were clearly distinct, representing the two polarities of ice and fire.
Dai Huabin stood on the edge of the cliff, glanced down, and took a deep breath. Seeing him like this, Hyotei scoffed.
"What are you daydreaming about? Do I have to ask you to leave?"
Dai Huabin turned to look at her. "The altitude below is quite high, and I can't fly."
Hyotei rolled her eyes at him and grabbed Dai Huabin's wrist with her small hand.
Hyotei's hands were small, with delicate, slightly cool skin that felt incredibly soft and smooth against the wrist.
Dai Huabin felt his heart race. After all, the girl in front of him was an absolutely stunning little girl.
As the two drew closer, Hyotei's aura, a blend of snow and a subtle fragrance, wafted over them.
"Thank me for my blessing!" the Ice Emperor raised her chin and said arrogantly, then pulled him up and jumped.
The wind whistled in their ears.
Hyotei unleashed a layer of icy blue protective shield around them, easily neutralizing the force of gravity as they fell.
The two landed lightly at the bottom of the valley.
As soon as they landed, an extremely rich plant fragrance wafted over them.
All sorts of strangely shaped plants were scattered throughout the valley.
Dai Huabin's gaze swept over this precious land.
The Star Luo Spirit Pearl was not far away, its pitch-black branch topped with a palm-sized golden fruit that was emitting a soft halo.
This was the best bargaining chip to obtain the Snow Emperor's embryo.
This thing was a perfect match for the Star Crown Spirit of Xu Jiujiu, the sister of Emperor Xu Jiawei of the Star Luo Empire. There was no doubt that Xu Jiawei would be tempted.
"Who is it?"
A clear, crisp female voice suddenly rang out in the valley.
Immediately afterwards, a large pink flower swayed and turned around, its petals unfurling with an eerie charm.
It was the Fragrant and Exquisite Celestial Product.
"Did that person send you?" Youyou asked tentatively.
Dai Huabin released Hyotei's hand, took a step forward, and said calmly:
"Never mind who we are. You're just a bunch of resources kept in someone else's backyard. Do you really think you're the masters of this place?"
Upon hearing this, Youyou immediately became furious, her petals snapping upright. "What nonsense are you spouting! This is our territory!"
Dai Huabin was too lazy to argue with her, so he turned to Hyotei and raised an eyebrow.
Hyotei instantly understood.
After spending a few days with Dai Huabin, she figured out his tactics.
If you can take action, don't just talk.
Hyotei lightly touched the ground with her toes, and an indescribable, terrifying chill suddenly erupted from her center.
"The Realm of Eternal Freeze!"
An icy blue halo swept across the entire area, suppressing the blazing Yang Spring on the left side of the valley, dimming its flames.
A thick layer of frost quickly covered the surrounding ordinary plants.
The oppressive aura of the four-hundred-thousand-year-old overlord of the far north was released without any concealment.
The petals trembled from the cold, but the little creature still struggled to stay upright.
"You dare to act recklessly! If that person descends, you'll be in for a world of hurt!"
Dai Huabin walked up to Youyou and looked down at her.
"I don't have time to listen to your nonsense. Hand over the goods and buy your life."
Youyou instantly panicked. "What do you want?"
"Fragrant and Exquisite Celestial Product, plus Star Luo Spirit Pearl, Dew That Seems to Pierce Through Autumn Waters, Chrysanthemum, and Narcissus Jade-like Skin and Bones." Dai Huabin spoke very quickly, directly reciting the names of the items.
Hearing these names, Youyou's heart trembled.
"You... how did you know all this? No way! These are the most precious immortal herbs, that person instructed me to..."
"Hmph! Who do you think you are?"
The Octagonal Black Ice Grass and the Fiery Apricot Delicate Inferno, who had been silent all along, couldn't stand it any longer.
Two auras, one of ice and one of fire, rose up, attempting to join forces to resist the Ice Emperor's domain.
Hyotei sneered. Playing with ice in front of her?
"You're asking for it!"
Hyotei raised her right hand, and a gigantic ice crystal hand instantly condensed in the air, slamming down with destructive extreme cold power.
"The Wrath of the Ice Emperor!"
A muffled boom resounded.
The leaves of the Octagonal Black Ice Grass were smashed to pieces, and the flames of the Fiery Apricot Delicate Inferno were almost frozen out. The two hundred-thousand-year-old immortal herbs were completely defeated and had no temper left.
Youyou was completely dumbfounded when she saw her two older brothers being instantly crushed.
Who exactly was this little girl in front of her?
This terrifying strength definitely surpassed that of an ordinary hundred-thousand-year-old soul beast!
"Should we give it to them or not?" Dai Huabin asked again.
Youyou gave in.
The petals drooped helplessly, releasing a pink elixir. Then, it directed several vines to uproot the four immortal herbs that Dai Huabin had specifically requested and handed them over.
After receiving the items, Dai Huabin took out a specially made jade box from his storage soul tool and packed them all in.
He could have taken more to bring to Wang Dong'er and the others, but he didn't dare.
The waters behind Wang Dong'er were too deep; who knew if that person left any marks on her?
If he brought the immortal herbs back here and attracted that person's attention, he would become a sitting duck.
He was still very weak, and he absolutely could not take any risks.
Youyou stared at the empty patches of soil, muttering angrily:
"You wait, until that person's messenger arrives..."
Dai Huabin patted the package full of jade boxes and chuckled.
"Then you can wait here. Bing'er, let's go."
Hyotei grabbed Dai Huabin's hand again, and the two transformed into a streak of light, soaring into the sky and leaving the valley shrouded in poisonous miasma.
...
As soon as Dai Huabin and the Ice Emperor left, the oppressive feeling of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well dissipated instantly.
The Fragrant and Exquisite Celestial Product was panting heavily, even though she had no lungs. The pink petals trembled wildly, jumping up and down in anger.
"I'm so angry! Where did these barbarians come from! That blond kid, and that perverted woman!"
It cried out softly into the air.
"When that person's messenger arrives, I'll make sure he gives that blond brat a good beating! Hang him up and beat him!"
The Octagonal Black Ice Grass not far away shook off the ice shards on its leaves and remained silent.
It had just faced the Ice Emperor's attack head-on, and the pure, extreme coldness made even this hundred-thousand-year-old immortal herb with the ultimate ice attribute feel palpitations.
The opponent's cultivation and combat power completely overwhelmed it.
Even the Fiery Apricot Delicate Inferno lay listlessly by the hot spring, its light dimming considerably.
Neither of the two big shots responded to Youyou's words.
They knew very well that if a fight broke out, that person's messenger might not be able to handle the little girl from before.
...
On the other side, at the outskirts of Sunset Forest.
Dai Huabin and the Ice Emperor did not linger in the human world. They directly opened the portal to the undead demiplane and went inside.
Within the demiplane, the pile of Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow still emitted a ghostly blue light.
As soon as Hyotei entered, she went straight to the iceberg. "I'm going to continue refining it, so don't bother me unless it's important."
Dai Huabin nodded.
He found an open space not far from the iceberg, sat down cross-legged, and laid out the jade boxes he had just acquired.
