Chương 40: Immortal Herbs 2
Lingling stopped walking, this time near a seemingly common white flower without leaves that grew over a rock.
Lingling turned towards Haotian "Are you in love, Haotian?"
'Why is she asking this now?' Haotian made a confused face, but looking over the seemingly common flower in such heavenly place, he quickly realized 'It should be the Yearning Heartbroken Red.'
"Is related with that flower?" Haotian asked.
Lingling nodded "This is one of the most exceptional flowers, the Yearning Heartbroken Red. Like the Chrysanthemum, it can be eaten by any spirit master, its effect being even better, improving the overall physique, foundation and strength, it could even help to increase the control over the elements. A miraculous all-purpose immortal herb capable of miracles."
'This plant was the one that saved Xiao Wu's life after sacrificing herself, so it's indeed capable of miracles. But rather than an opportunity of a later revival, it might be better to eat it and take the advantages.'
"However," Lingling explained "To be able to use, it should choose you as its master. For this, you need to offer your own blood to it, spitting into its petals while keeping in your heart your beloved person without any wavering heart. If your love had a shrew of doubt or insincerity, the Yearning Heartbroken Red won't accept you."
"If you truly love someone, you can try it. Do not worry about the after-effects, even if it not accept you, there will not be any at all." Lingling said.
Haotian approached the white flower 'Would I be able to be accepted?' Haotian turned towards Meijing 'I love Mei who always had been with me in the good and the bad moments, more than any other girl, but having formed a harem due to my spirit, could that love be considered sincere?'
"Splat" Before Haotian decided to act, some blood drops fell over Yearning Heartbroken Red's petals. Meijing was near the flower and with a small cut over her finger, she was spitting out blood to the flower.
"Mei" Haotian said concerned
"My love is unwavering" Meijing smiled brightly "And I already know that you love me."
The Yearning Heartbroken Red reacted immediately, its petals gaining a red tint and it started glowing, giving a majestuous and mysterious vibe, growing bigger and seemingly blooming again, a rich essence coming from it. Now, there was no way to describe it as common.
"So that is love?" Lingling wondered seeing the flower "To eat, you should smash the flower, killing it and making something like a ball, then you can simply eat it."
'If this is a plant that could be considered a proof of love, smashing it could be felt as breaking that love for your own gain' Haotian thought. He looked at Meijing who was fascinated as she looked at the bloomed flower 'Better not say anything to her. The best is that she eats it.'
"It's a good herb for Mei?" Haotian asked turning to Lingling.
"As a no-elemental sword user, there are few herbs especially for her. The best result being the refining, purification and strengthening of her body" Lingling answered "I cannot think a better herb for her than the Yearning Heartbroken Red."
Meijing nodded still looking at the flower. She turned towards Haotian "I will absorb it, with this I can help you even more." She said as she lifted the flower. Then she left the group, looking around for a peaceful place to absorb the herb.
"Now there is only you, Haotian" Lingling turned towards Haotian "I do not really know what herb would be good due to your mutated spirit, having sword, ice and wind. Maybe the Chrysanthemum it would be the best."
"There's no need to worry about me" Haotian said turning towards the core of the medical garden, towards the Well "I already have found something I fancy."
Haotian was about to start move, but stopped, turning one final time towards Lingling "For curiosity, what herb would you eat? You can take whatever you like."
"None" Lingling said "My spirit is an exceptional one and can be considered as an immortal herb in its own, already receiving the effects of it. Taking another immortal herb would affect me negatively, even damaging my foundation."
"If that's the case, why did you want to come here?" Haotian asked curiously.
"Curiosity" Lingling plainly answered "Also, this is the best place for my own cultivation."
'If I don't remember wrong, due to the effect of the Well, plants would grow 100 times quicker here, so it has sense for Lingling's cultivation to also grow quicker here as a plant spirit master' Haotian nodded.
"Thanks for all, Lingling" Haotian said turning away "You can stay here all the time that you want." He said as he started walking towards the core.
Reaching the Yin and Yang Ice Fire Well, Haotian could still feel the pull from it. Not lowering at all and always constant, attracting him to it. However, it wasn't exactly the same as before, that part that before cried that it was incredibly dangerous and he could die from it, was mostly gone.
Thanks to Yan's spirit, his physique had experienced another growth, becoming stronger and especially his resistance to poison, having a near immunity to them. Now he was sure that he could cross Dugu Bo's poison formation without any protection and profoundly breathing it.
"Let's see what gains I can achieve with you." Haotian said as he was walking over the shore, going towards the vermillion area of the Well.
"Splash!" Haotian let his body fall to the Well, the vermillion liquid swallowing all his body.
"BRRRR!" Haotian shouted in bubbles as he could feel the effects of the Well. Even with his strong body and high resistance, he could feel all his body burning, the poisonous Yang filtering inside his body and burning it inside and out. Strangely, the lack of oxygen didn't seem a problem, being able to breathe that liquid normally taking the burning feeling aiside.
Haotian could have made it easier, controlling his body and not letting invade his inside, but it would be against his ambition of completely regaining his body.
'How could Tang San survive this?' Haotian blamed. Even when he was prepared, had a stronger body and an almost impossible immunity to poison, he could feel so much pain to near becoming mad and fall unconscious.
"BRRRRR!" He shouted trying to unburden his pain, slowly refining his body, the Yang liquid already having invaded him completely, slowly refining his insides. Haotian could even feel how his cells burned and regrew at an incredible speed, his body showing his adaptability.
Haotian could have started by the Yin's side of the Well, being far less dangerous than he Yang thanks to Biyun's spirit's resistance to Yin. However, that would have created a future imbalance, his body focusing on Yin and keeping Yang apart, weak and forgetful.
That was why he jumped at the Yang's side, he wanted a balanced body and as he lacked Yang element due to the girls, none of them having a Yang-related spirit, he wanted to compensate that lack with the Well, acquiring that sought equilibrium.
Moreover, girls usually were more oriented towards Yin while boys were towards Yang. If he wanted effectively duel cultivated with them, he would need more Yang. Of course, that was other novel's knowledge and it might not be the case for his dual cultivation thanks to his spirit. But nevertheless, something inside him called for it, like an instinct.
After an uncertain time, Haotian finally opened his eyes. Due to the pain he didn't know how much time had passed, but it seemed that the worst had already passed. He couldn't feel any more pain, his body having already being refined and used to it. Now only a light heat could be felt that while it wasn't comfortable, but it was bearable.
Haotian started swimming towards the center of the Well where Yang and Yin coexisted without mixing.
Instantly, Haotian could feel like a fresh sensation entered his body, feeling the cold Yin invading him. It rapidly turned into a chill sensation that tried to freeze him, but it was a lot more bearable than the previously Yang, Haotian quickly focusing on his body to refine it with the new source.
"Bang!" Loud crashes were occurring over Haotian's body as Yang and Yin fought between each other, trying to take the sovereignty of the body.
That was precisely the moment, Haotian used all his mental energy, controlling the two sources of energy, keeping a balance in them. The Yin seemed stronger due to his spirit but at the same time, it was easier to control for its familiarity while the Yang was weaker but wilder.
Finally, Haotian was able to create an equilibrium, containing both elements in his body in perfect synchrony, reaching and state not much different than the Well itself.
Haotian seemed to have finished his work over the Well, having tempered his body in Yin and Yang, having acquired a new immunity to Yang from it. However, that pull from his inside was still there, guiding him more profoundly.
Haotian followed his instinct. He started diving deeper, diving hundreds of meters. It reached the point that Haotian was surprised at how such a small Well could have such monstrous profundity. However, he persisted, the pull becoming stronger.
Finally, Haotian reached what seemed to be the bottom. Over it laid two big skeletons. They were what it seemed to be dragon skeletons over 40 meters long, one of them had its bone pale-blue while the other was vermillion. Both of them interlaced with each other, seemingly to each eating the tail of the other.
'The Yin and Yang here are incomparable as before, they should be the true core of the Well' Haotian thought seeing it 'If I don't remember wrong, it might be something related with the Dragon God, but I don't really remember DD3 so much, never having finished it.'
Haotian had some doubts, but something was clear. He needed to take them. He didn't know how could be able to absorb them, but he knew that he needed them, even if he must devour them.
"SHINX!" Just as Haotian was about to reach them, both skeletons started to shine with a powerful light, blue and red light blinding it all and forcing Haotian to cover his eyes with his arm.
Luckily, it only lasted an instant. Haotian opened his eyes and his eyes went wide in shock. In front of him where the two skeletons were, now stood what it seemed two very alive dragons.
'Oh, fuck!' Haotian blamed at that time remembering more of the DD3 'The Water and Fire Dragon Kings' spirits!'
"GRRRRRRRR!" Both dragons shouted, charging towards Haotian, opening their big fauces towards him.
