Douluo Continent II: The Dragon Breaks the Nine Heavens

Chapter 258 Immortal Herb? Afraid to Fight the Lizard!

Just as Lin Yun had originally estimated, he stayed at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well for about seven days.

Lin Yun thought that seven days would be enough for the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass to transform, but when he was already ready to leave, the large cocoon that the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass had transformed into was still sitting there perfectly fine.

"So, how long does it usually take for a soul beast to transform into human form?" Lin Yun turned to look at the Ice and Snow sisters.

"Hmm... it's hard to say. The time it takes for each soul beast to transform is different. Some take ten years or so, while others only take ten days or half a month." After pondering for a while, Ice Emperor spread her small hands.

"?"

Okay, okay, I've gained some strange new knowledge.

"Bing'er and I have observed it these past few days, and the time it takes for the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass to transform is probably not short. Perhaps it won't have successfully transformed even by the time we return from the sea," the Snow Empress explained to Lin Yun with a gentle smile.

"Never mind then. Since it will take some time for it to successfully transform, let's leave first." Lin Yun shook his head.

He had initially thought he would be able to witness firsthand how soul beasts transform, but he was still too naive. Indeed, he had been somewhat presumptuous, given the recent example of Di Qiu'er, whose transformation took nearly a year.

Perhaps it really is as the Snow Emperor said: by the time they return from their sea hunt, the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass may not even have emerged from its cocoon yet.

Before leaving the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, Lin Yun also took two immortal herbs with him.

One of them is a golden melon plant.

The other one is an eight-petaled fairy orchid.

The Earth Dragon Golden Melon was for Di Qiu'er. When she transformed, the martial soul she solidified was the Golden Dragon, and the bloodline she activated was naturally the Golden Dragon bloodline of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.

While the Earth Dragon Golden Melon was of little use to Lin Yun, it was quite effective for Di Qiu'er, increasing the purity of her golden dragon blood and consequently enhancing her martial spirit.

It's hard to say exactly how much, but there will definitely be an improvement.

As for Xixi's immortal herb, Lin Yun had given it serious thought.

The immortal herbs in the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire are either extremely cold or extremely hot immortal herbs or poisonous herbs, or they are neutral and mild immortal herbs like the Eight-Petaled Immortal Orchid and the Fragrant Silk Immortal Herb, due to the influence of the Ice and Fire Dragon King.

It's really not easy to find a suitable herb for Xixi, and it's even more difficult to find one that matches her lightning attribute.

After much deliberation, Lin Yun chose an eight-petaled fairy orchid for her.

This is the immortal herb that Oscar consumed during the first Douyi era. Its effects include strengthening the body's foundation and nourishing the vital energy, as well as solving the problem of slow cultivation speed, which is exactly what Xixi needs now.

In terms of age, Xixi is already twenty years old, long past the most suitable age for consuming the immortal herb. In addition, she had been seriously injured not long ago, and when Lin Yun saw her, she was almost dead.

Even though the two 100,000-year-old soul bones and the gold of life restored her to new life, the cracks in the shattered mirror remained no matter how much it was repaired.

An eight-petaled orchid might be able to help her complete this final piece of the puzzle.

This was his newly acquired maid, and before he was sure she wouldn't betray him, Lin Yun didn't mind investing some resources in her to make her even more loyal to him.

Of course, Lin Yun only took the fruits and essence of the Earth Dragon Golden Melon and the Eight-Petaled Fairy Orchid; he did not kill them directly.

Thinking about it carefully, Lin Yun has already harvested several immortal herbs.

The fiery apricot blossom counts as one plant, the rare and precious chrysanthemum counts as one plant, the narcissus with its jade-like skin counts as one plant, and the beautiful tulip counts as another.

Although Lin Yun had preserved the original seeds and consciousness of the other three immortal herbs, except for the Fiery Apricot, once it was destroyed, it was destroyed. This resulted in four 100,000-year soul rings and four 100,000-year soul bones.

If they keep cutting them, these pigs might actually get angry.

No rush, kill them slowly, fatten them up before killing them. After collecting the essence of the Earth Dragon Golden Melon and the Eight-Petaled Immortal Orchid, Lin Yun and the Ice and Snow Emperors took to the air again and left the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

The pigs breathed a deep sigh of relief once again, looking in the direction where Lin Yun and the other two had left. Their fearful eyes held a hint of relief, as well as a barely perceptible fear and hatred.

Another immortal herb has met its demise in Lin Yun's hands, leaving only the seed, which will require a long time to recover and be reborn.

This time, it was Narcissus's jade-like flesh and bones that "died," but what about next time? And the time after that?

One day it will be my turn.

but……

Do they really have the courage to rise up in resistance?

The answer is no. After being kept by Tang San for ten thousand years, they had long since become servile and cowardly. At least, apart from the most hot-tempered one, the Fiery Apricot, which openly defied Lin Yun, the other immortal herbs still had their seeds.

There is still hope for a second chance.

If they fight back, they'll really die, or they might not even survive; death will become their only hope.

After all... they are divine herbs.

If Lin Yun were a little more cruel and ruthless, he could even imprison them, infusing them with energy while endlessly squeezing out their essence, turning them into tools for converting the power of immortal herbs, turning them into real meat pigs.

Upon considering this possibility, the fragrant and exquisite herbs, along with other immortal herbs, fell silent once again.

Afraid of death, he dared not move.

Let's just go along with Lin Yun. At worst, I'll give him all my essence and start over. It's better than dying completely or living a life worse than death.

……

Lin Yun was unaware that the immortal herb in the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire had completely given up and was no longer capable of resisting. However, even if he knew, he would just laugh it off.

They're just a bunch of low-class, domesticated nutritional supplements.

Just like Tang San and Huo Yuhao.

When they can beat you, they'll jump in and unleash their attacks; when they can't, they'll instantly transform into a cowardly lizard.

It's good to be well-behaved.

It saved him a lot of trouble.

After an unknown amount of time, a strong wind blew in our faces, carrying the unique salty smell of the sea, and a clear blue sky appeared on the distant horizon.

The sea is now right in front of us.

Before the two Ice and Snow Emperors, the border of the Star Luo Empire was like a public toilet on the street. They could cross or return as they pleased without any hindrance. They didn't even notice three people flying overhead.

Lin Yun landed on the beach with two beautiful women and took a deep breath of the fresh sea breeze of 82.

Lin Yun had been to the seaside many times in his previous life, but he had never seen such clean and clear water and such a vibrant beach as the one before him.

Even if you've seen them, they're usually in videos of deserted islands or remote scenic spots.

"Let's get some rest for the night!"
