Douluo Continent: Starting with a Heavenly Fire Judgment

Chapter 301 The Talkative Fragrance

Compared to animal-type spirit beasts, plant-type spirit beasts' biggest disadvantage is their lack of agility. Most plants are immobile; their control range is centered on where they take root. Like those vines growing on the mountainside, they cannot extend their control distance to continue attacking.

However, plant-type spirit beasts are even more powerful than animal spirit beasts within their controlled territories. Therefore, areas inhabited by a large number of plant-type spirit beasts are inevitably extremely dangerous. Even powerful animal spirit beasts are unwilling to approach them.

As Ji Lin descended, he recalled his memories from his past life. Under his mental detection, he quickly locked onto a plant below.

It was a large, pale pink flower with no leaves. Its stem was nearly ten feet long, and the flower was extremely large, with a diameter of more than three feet. Each petal looked as clear and translucent as crystal. The pale pink flower swayed gently with the water mist and grew on the bank where the red and white spring waters met.

Ji Lin noticed it for two reasons: firstly, it was incredibly beautiful and vibrant, situated precisely on the shore where the white and red lake waters met; secondly, there were no other plants within a ten-zhang radius around it, making it even more conspicuous in this densely vegetated valley.

"A 100,000-year-old cultivation, the Fragrant Silk Immortal Item?" This sentence appeared in Ji Lin's mind.

Like the Fragrant Fairy Plant, there are other plants that have no other plants growing within a certain radius around them. There are also some other plants that share a common characteristic: they are either extremely strange or extremely beautiful, and they all emit varying degrees of precious light.

When Ji Lin's mental detection locked onto the Fragrant Qiluo Immortal Item, a faint mist of light emanated from its pink petals, blocking Ji Lin's mental detection.

Having already recognized the Fragrant Silk Fairy Item, Ji Lin chose to land directly at the edge of the open space surrounding it.

As Ji Lin and Chi Yuan slowly descended, the plants in the valley remained calm, and none of them attempted to attack them.

The moment he landed, a faint, delicate fragrance wafted into his nostrils. Ji Lin remained calm, allowing the fragrance to enter his body and merge with it.

The fragrance was invigorating, and he felt his mind clear up instantly, even his brain became more lucid. Although he had only inhaled a small amount, he felt as if his entire body had been cleansed by pure water, an indescribable sense of comfort.

Even the Snow Empress, Ice Empress, and Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, who were residing in the Sacred Mark Space, were awakened by this fragrance.

"So good! So good! What is this?"

The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm let out a cheap, groaning sound that echoed in Ji Lin's mind.

Ji Lin's lips twitched; that voice was just too lewd.

As expected, the next moment, Hyotei's icy voice rang out, "Tenmu, shut up!"

The lewd groans vanished instantly; Tianmeng Ice Silkworm dared not oppose the Ice Emperor.

However, the three members of Hyotei quickly discovered where Ji Lin was.

"This...this is a treasure trove! Ji Lin, you've struck it rich! You've struck it rich! With the help of so many rare and precious materials, plus the cultivation speed boost from your first soul core, even if your cultivation speed is slowed down by your ultimate martial soul, you can break through to the Title Douluo realm in a dozen years at most! Moreover, the life force here is at least five times that of the core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest!"

Overwhelmed with excitement, the voice of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm trembled slightly in Ji Lin's mind.

Ice Emperor exclaimed in amazement, "Although Tianmeng is unreliable, he is right this time. Ji Lin, with the help of these rare and precious materials, your growth rate will be exceptionally fast."

The Snow Empress revealed an "I knew it" expression and said, "To actually find a place like this, and you still say you're not the protagonist of a novel? Tell me, what's your cheat ability?"

Ji Lin's face darkened. He glanced at Chi Yuan beside him and said, "Give me back my noble and aloof Snow Maiden. This is not the Snow Empress in my heart."

He had long noticed the unusual relationship between Xue Di and Chi Yuan. Every time he met Chi Yuan, Xue Di would appear alone with her, not allowing Ji Lin to watch. Did he really think he didn't know Xue Di and Chi Yuan were secretly reading novels? He simply pretended not to see. It's a personal hobby, after all! Ji Lin supported Xue Di having some personal hobbies; after all, staying in the Holy Mark Space was quite boring most of the time.

But he didn't expect that Xue Di was becoming more and more abstract.

Feeling a bit confused after being glanced at by Ji Lin for no apparent reason, Chi Yuan looked herself up and down and found that there was nothing wrong with her clothes!

Ignoring Xue Di, Ji Lin prepared to inhale some more fragrance; the feeling just now was truly comfortable.

Suddenly, the pink petals on the Fragrant Silk Fairy Platter lit up.

A pink light shield instantly appeared around it, completely enveloping the air within a ten-zhang diameter area, including Ji Lin and Chi Yuan.

Through his memories of his past life, Ji Lin was already familiar with the effects of the Fragrant Silk Immortal Elixir. He continued to greedily inhale the even richer fragrance in the air. This time, the feeling of inhaling it was even better; the feeling of complete relaxation throughout his body made his control over his soul power much more precise.

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm smacked its lips, still seemingly unsatisfied, and said in Ji Lin's mind, "Ji Lin, what are you planning to do? I've thoroughly investigated, and there are quite a few plant-type soul beasts here with 100,000 years of cultivation, but they should all be asleep right now. Should we take them all?"

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm knew that with Chi Yuan by Ji Lin's side, taking away all the rare and precious materials from this land would be no problem at all.

Although those 100,000-year-old plant-type soul beasts were troublesome, they couldn't stop a quasi-god.

Ji Lin was currently examining the other herbs around the Fragrant Silk Immortal Herb, based on his memories from his previous life. Hearing Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's suggestion, he thought for a moment and said, "While taking everything would be fine, this entire treasure trove cannot be taken away. I've decided to only take a portion that's useful, and return when needed."

As for whether others will discover this treasure trove and take the immortal herbs inside, there's no need to worry. The countless Azure Phosphorous Seven-Colored Flowers and Azure Phosphorous Nine-Colored Flowers forming the Azure Phosphorous Poisonous Mist outside the valley are not something every Soul Master can break through.

Ji Lin summoned the Heavenly Fire Judgment, and under Ji Lin's command, terrifying flames of destruction ignited on the sword.

The moment the flames of destruction appeared, the large pink flower of the Fragrant Jade Flower trembled slightly, its purple stamens rippled, and a layer of pink halo immediately spread from its body.

The light was noticeably more intense than the surrounding light barrier, and it carried a faint sense of majesty.

A gentle female voice rang out clearly.

"Human. It's your good fortune to be here, but if you try to provoke me again, don't blame me for being impolite."

Ji Lin's heart stirred slightly, and a barely perceptible smile appeared deep in his eyes as he feigned great surprise.

"Huh? You can talk?!"

The Heavenly Judgment in his hand seemed to be waving unconsciously out of surprise. With each flicker of the crimson flames of destruction, the petals of the fragrant and exquisite fairy product would tremble.

The seemingly composed Youxiang Qiluo Fairy finally dropped her act and screamed in surprise.

"Stop! Stop! Stop! Don't come any closer!"

Although the Fragrant Fairy has a cultivation of 100,000 years, she has never been in contact with humans and is very simple-minded. From her lack of confidence, Ji Lin could tell that she had been deliberately putting on an act of majesty.

He knew very well that even if this fragrant and exquisite immortal product had a cultivation of 100,000 years, it would not be pleasant if it were tainted by his flames of destruction, which contained the aura of destruction.

Ji Lin chuckled as he put away the flames of destruction from the Heavenly Judgment, feeling that his actions just now had the feel of bullying a little girl.

Ji Lin asked, "Are you a 100,000-year-old plant-type soul beast?"

"I'm not a 100,000-year-old soul beast. I'm only 10,000 years old." The petals of the large pink flower of the Fragrant Qiluo Immortal Item opened and closed slightly, and her voice returned to its initial gentleness, which sounded very comforting. It seemed that she did not take the previous events to heart at all.

The voice of the Ice Emperor echoed in Ji Lin's mind, "Ji Lin, she is lying. How could a plant-type soul beast possess intelligence at the age of ten thousand, let alone be able to speak?"

Ji Lin responded in his mind: "I do know something about this. She wasn't lying. In this Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, the growth of all plants in one day is equivalent to the growth of ten days outside. She is indeed ten thousand years old, but she has a cultivation of one hundred thousand years."

Ice Empress fell silent. Even Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm and Snow Empress were somewhat shocked. One day of growth here was equivalent to ten days outside. A plant-type soul beast growing ten times faster—what a terrifying number!

"Hmm, you have an aura similar to Ice Eye's, and you also had flames carrying a destructive aura just now, extreme ice and extreme fire? No wonder you were able to break through the Azure Phosphorus Poison Array outside to get here."

"Fragrant and elegant, like a fairy," she murmured, her tone seemingly revealing a hint of excitement.

"No matter how you found this place, let me tell you, you're lucky to have run into me. If you had encountered those grumpy creatures, they would have killed you and turned you into fertilizer. However, it's been many years since any humans have come here. I'm very happy to see you. Talk to me a bit. Maybe I'll consider giving you something in return."

The Fragrant Fairy clearly failed to discern Chi Yuan's hidden strength; otherwise, she wouldn't be behaving this way.

Ji Lin chuckled. This fragrant and elegant fairy product did indeed have a talkative nature. As for whether it was truly innocent, Ji Lin couldn't tell for the time being.

At this moment, the voice of Youxiang Qiluo Xianpin rang out again, and her tone became much more urgent.

"Hey, why aren't you saying anything? Say something! Chat with me, or I won't protect you anymore. Without my fragrant protection, the various plant scents and the aura of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well here will harm you."
