Chapter 26: Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower
"Why...is there a poison array here?"
Ling Yuan looked at the entire mountain range covered by the poison array in front of her and couldn't help but be surprised.
The poison array in front of them was not weak; even a seventh-ring Soul Sage could not get close, as touching it would result in instant death.
With Ling Yuan's strength, she could naturally tell that this poison array was not naturally formed, but rather set up by humans.
"Could it be that the treasure land you spoke of is inside this place?"
"It should be, otherwise no one would have set up a poison array here."
"Then how do we get in?"
Looking at the poison array that even she couldn't stay in for long, Ling Yuan looked at Qin Mu with some worry.
Given Qin Mu's strength, it would be almost impossible for him to enter the poison array.
High-temperature flames can isolate the poisonous fog to some extent, but Ling Yuan's flames obviously cannot achieve that.
"I can get in by my own strength, or should I go in? Tell me what's inside and I'll get it out for you."
"If you miss, then go in yourself."
Qin Mu looked at Ling Yuan speechlessly.
Although it is known as one of the three great treasure troves, if the herbs inside are not harvested properly, even with Ling Yuan's strength as a Title Douluo, she would probably be in grave danger.
"Although this poison array is highly toxic, it is not without its flaws."
"For example, altitude. We can fly over there to avoid the poison array."
"Isn't your Spirit the Fiery Spirit Kite? Use your Spirit True Body to fly me there."
Ling Yuan looked at Qin Mu with a puzzled expression. "Yeah, how come I didn't think of that?"
Qin Mu rubbed his temples helplessly.
Sometimes, I really worry about Ling Yuan's intelligence.
Ling Yuan released her Spirit, and the seventh soul ring, symbolizing the true form of her Spirit, lit up. Ling Yuan instantly transformed into a firebird tens of meters long, covered in flames.
Although the Fiery Spirit Kite was engulfed in flames, it didn't generate much heat under the spirit kite's control.
Qin Mu climbed onto the back of the Fiery Spirit Kite. With a bird's cry, the Fiery Spirit Kite suddenly spread its wings and flew directly into the sky.
The master of the poison array must have taken into account the need to prevent flying Soul Masters and Soul Beasts. The Fiery Spirit Kite flew hundreds of meters into the air before the poisonous mist in the array gradually thinned out.
Just in case, Ling Yuan flew another hundred meters upwards to make sure the poisonous fog was completely gone before carrying Qin Mu inside.
Just as Qin Mu said, after flying over this mountain, what came into view was a deep ravine.
The valley is surrounded by several mountains, making it extremely difficult to find.
They flew towards the center of the valley, and after a while, they saw thick heat rising from within the valley.
As they got closer to the mountain valley, Ling Yuan couldn't help but sense a feeling similar to that of a volcano.
It's even more terrifying than the temperature at the crater.
Having this feeling, Ling Yuan couldn't help but feel quite surprised.
What kind of place is this? It looks like a beautiful place with clear waters and lush mountains, how could it have such a terrifying temperature?
Before long, the two arrived at the top of the valley. After confirming that there was no one else there, they descended from the air.
As soon as they entered the valley, their eyes were drawn to the hot spring in the center.
The hot spring area is not large. Strangely, the hot spring seems to be divided in two, one side is milky white and the other side is vermilion.
Although they are in the same pool, they are as distinct as water and oil, showing no signs of mixing.
Qin Mu naturally knew that the hot spring in front of him was the legendary Ice and Fire Eyes, while Ling Yuan had no such knowledge. She only felt curious when she looked at the Ice and Fire Eyes, without any other emotions.
"Sister Ling Yuan, let me remind you, don't run around, especially don't touch the hot spring or the herbs growing next to it."
"Otherwise, even if you are a Title Douluo, you might still be in trouble, and your life might even be in danger."
Upon hearing Qin Mu's warning, Ling Yuan, who had originally intended to pick a beautiful Immortal Herb, immediately stopped and unconsciously withdrew her hand.
Led by Qin Mu, the two headed directly towards the bank where the red and white spring waters met. Before long, Qin Mu was pleasantly surprised to find himself in front of a large, pale pink flower.
The large pink flowers are enormous, with petals as clear and translucent as crystal. Even from several meters away, you can still smell the faint fragrance emanating from the flowers.
Although the Ice and Fire Eyes is a treasure trove, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth contained within it is simply beyond the capacity of humankind to withstand.
The delicate fragrance emanating from the large pink flower in front of me can alleviate the discomfort caused by the Ice and Fire Eyes. The closer I get, the more comfortable I feel.
Upon reaching the pink flower, both Qin Mu and Ling Yuan took a deep breath in perfect unison.
That faint, refreshing fragrance travels through the nasal cavity and permeates the entire body, soothing the soul.
"What kind of flower is this? It's so amazing! I feel like I've become smarter just by being next to it!"
Ling Yuan couldn't help but take another deep breath. Looking at the glistening petals in front of her, she reached out to touch them, but then remembered Qin Mu's advice and reluctantly withdrew her hand.
"A fragrant and exquisite elixir. A nemesis of all poisons. As long as you are within its range, no poison will affect you."
After Qin Mu finished speaking, he took out some odds and ends from his storage ring and fiddled with something at the base of the Beautiful Silk Tulip.
Tang San's Mysterious Heaven Art does indeed contain many records about the Ice and Fire Eyes and rare and precious materials.
However, the rare and precious materials recorded in the Mysterious Heaven Art, regardless of their uses or methods of use, ultimately all originated from Tang San's original world.
Compared with the records in the ancient books of Douluo Continent, there are naturally some discrepancies.
Qin Mu, who studied at the Spirit Hall since childhood, naturally learned from the ancient books passed down from the Douluo Continent, and was also taught by Yue Guan in terms of rare and precious materials.
It can be said that Yue Guan is the person who understands the Immortal Herb best in this world.
Because Yue Guan's own Spirit is a kind of Immortal Herb, the Chrysanthemum!
He carefully transplanted the Beautiful Silk Tulip into the jade bottle he had brought. With the Beautiful Silk Tulip protecting him, Qin Mu could travel freely through the Ice and Fire Eyes.
"By the way, didn't you say you wanted to further improve my soul power? How do I do that?"
Seeing Qin Mu's calm demeanor, Ling Yuan felt a surge of warmth in her heart, remembering the promise he had made to her before they came.
"What's the rush? The emperor isn't worried, but the eunuch is!"
Qin Mu glanced at Ling Yuan, and only after confirming that the Beautiful Silk Tulip had been successfully transplanted did he leave with peace of mind.
"I never had it in the first place..."
Ling Yuan pursed her lips, but since she still needed Qin Mu to improve her strength, she didn't dare to say anything more.
Following Qin Mu, Ling Yuan arrived at the side closest to the vermilion hot spring, watching Qin Mu carefully searching for something among the nearby Immortal Herbs.
Before long, Qin Mu picked a red Immortal Herb with leaves that resembled a rooster's comb at the top.
