Chapter 227 Scheming to Obtain Huo Yuhao's Qualification for Trading Immortal Herbs
Huo Yuhao entered the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well alone.
As he was searching for his target, the large red flower noticed him. "Human, you have an aura very similar to that of the Extreme Cold Yin Spring. No wonder you were able to get here through the poisonous clouds outside. You are lucky."
A gentle voice suddenly rang out, and Huo Yuhao turned around sharply, only to see a huge pink flower swaying gently.
Huo Yuhao was startled and subconsciously took half a step back, his martial soul instantly activating. A plant-type soul beast that could speak human language must be at least close to the level of a hundred thousand years old.
"A 100,000-year-old soul beast?" he asked warily, his Spirit Eye Martial Soul operating at full power as he carefully examined the mysterious plant.
"I'm not some 100,000-year-old soul beast," the flower said playfully, its petals opening and closing gently. "I've only lived for a little over 10,000 years, I'm quite young. My name is Youxiang Qiluo Immortal Item, you can just call me Youyou!"
These plant-based spirit beasts, which have strong detoxification abilities but little combat power, are generally good-natured.
However, its denial of being a 100,000-year-old soul beast sounds somewhat like those little girls who don't want their age mentioned. In fact, in terms of cultivation, it has indeed reached the level of a 100,000-year-old soul beast.
Not only that, there are also many 100,000-year-old soul beasts inside this Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire.
Hidden behind a high rock, Nana held her breath, her Title Douluo's perception allowing her to clearly sense the powerful energy fluctuations within the basin. At least five or six auras, no weaker than hers, were concealed among the plants.
"Young Master," Nana said in a low voice, her tone unusually solemn, "there are so many plant-type 100,000-year-old soul beasts here. Once we enter, it will be extremely dangerous."
Dai Youheng's lips curled into a cold smile as his gaze swept across the entire basin. "That's precisely why I didn't rush in. The immortal herbs of this Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well are already exclusive to the Tang family and will only be given to their descendants. Even if we went in, these 100,000-year-old soul beasts would prevent us from obtaining the immortal herbs."
His gaze fell on the plants radiating powerful energy, and he continued, "Here, they can draw upon the energy of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, making them far stronger than ordinary 100,000-year-old soul beasts. Even if the two of us aren't afraid of them, it won't be easy for us to snatch the immortal herbs from them."
"So this time, I want to continue the strategy of letting the snipe and the clam fight while the fisherman benefits. Huo Yuhao is here today as a descendant of the Tang family. We'll go over there when he passes the test and reaches the steps I want."
"Yes, young master!" Nana had already reached the point of complete trust in Dai Youheng. This young master was incredibly cunning, and since she couldn't compare to him, she might as well just be a henchman and obediently follow his plans.
At this moment, the fragrant Qiluo Immortal below was inquiring about Huo Yuhao's information. Through this information, it confirmed that Huo Yuhao was the person Tang San had asked it to wait for.
Next came the test. Youyou first took out a medicinal herb and had Huo Yuhao take it.
It was as if he had been waiting for this spiritual herb for ages, and with the help of it, Huo Yuhao's spiritual eyes were showing signs of a second awakening.
Huo Yuhao took the herb and easily passed its test. After all, his sincerity towards Wang Dong'er was genuine, otherwise he wouldn't have been disciplined so severely by Tang San in the future.
The second test was the test of the fiery apricot blossom. This time, Huo Yuhao no longer had Xue Di's help. But since Xue Di was gone, Ilex naturally didn't die because of this butterfly effect. Moreover, compared to before, his soul power seemed to have recovered a lot. In the end, by possessing Huo Yuhao and using terrifying mental control, he also passed the second test.
Afterwards, Youyou handed over the book left by Tang San, as well as the Love-Sickness Heartbreak Red, to Huo Yuhao. Huo Yuhao, who had passed the test, could have chosen seven kinds of immortal herbs as a reward.
However, Huo Yuhao's mind was not on the immortal herb at this moment.

His gaze was fixed on a red flower that seemed ordinary, yet it made Huo Yuhao's heart beat faster involuntarily. The petals were delicate and luscious, and there was a touch of gold at the stamen, radiating a heart-pounding energy fluctuation.
"This is the Love-Sickness Heartbreak Red." The soft voice turned solemn. "Only those who truly love each other, watering it with their heart's blood, can pick it."
Huo Yuhao, his hands trembling, accepted the Heartbreak Red Blood, his eyes filled with hope. "Dong'er can be saved!"
Following the method in Tang San's book, he channeled his soul power to force out a drop of his heart's blood, spitting it onto the flower petals. However, the extreme ice attribute within his body caused the blood to instantly freeze into an ice bead, rolling on the petals but unable to penetrate them.
"No—this can't be!" Huo Yuhao was almost in despair when suddenly he thought of something and rushed to the hot spring like a madman. Ignoring the scalding water burning his hands, he scooped up a handful of water and put it in his mouth.
Extreme heat and extreme cold clashed violently within him, causing him to roar in agony. His skin alternated between being as red as a branding iron and as pale as frost. But he endured it all, fueled by his longing for Wang Dong'er, which once again stirred his heart's blood.
This time, the blood successfully seeped into the petals. The Acacia Heartbreak Red swayed gently, fell from the branch, and landed perfectly in Huo Yuhao's hand. But Huo Yuhao was already at his limit; his internal organs had been ravaged by alternating extreme heat and cold, and his life force was immediately waning.
Although he successfully picked the Love-Sickness Heartbreak Red, at this moment, his internal organs were burning up, and even if he had picked the immortal herb, he had no strength left to send it back to Wang Dong'er.
This time, Wang Qiu'er couldn't find another Acacia 'Heartbreak Red' to save him.
"No, I have to hold on, I must hold on, I have to save Dong'er!" Huo Yuhao struggled to get up.
"Now," Dai Youheng said softly, a calculating glint in his eyes. "Nana, it's your turn."
"Yes, young master!" Nana immediately flew down.
With her and Lingya's help, Dai Youheng was able to successfully implement many of his plans, while he himself continued to lead from behind the scenes.
Nana appeared silently in front of Huo Yuhao like a ghost, releasing her aura as a Title Douluo without reservation.
Dark soul power circulated around her, and nine soul rings slowly emerged, with the last bright red 100,000-year soul ring radiating a heart-palpitating pressure.
"Title Douluo! Who are you?" Lie Huoxing shouted sharply, with blazing flames dancing among her leaves, and the other plant-type soul beasts also went on high alert.
Nana smiled calmly, her gaze sweeping over the plant-type soul beasts who were on high alert. "Don't be nervous, I'm not the enemy."
She walked up to Huo Yuhao, looking at the dying young man, and said, "I saw everything that just happened. It was truly moving. I never imagined that there could be someone as affectionate as you in this world, someone who could pluck the heart-wrenching red petals of longing."
"Senior...may I ask who you are?" Huo Yuhao asked weakly.
Although Nana appears young, she is, after all, a Title Douluo, and she also covers her face with a veil. Huo Yuhao subconsciously thought she was an old senior who had mastered the art of preserving youth. Wasn't Cai Meier, the teacher at the academy, the same?
"I am a Title Douluo who was passing through. I came to Sunset Forest on my own business, but I accidentally entered this mysterious place and secretly observed your every move," Nana said. "Seeing how loyal and righteous you are, I wanted to help you."
Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao felt a glimmer of hope. He picked up the Acacia Heartbreak Red flower in his hand and pleaded, "Senior—please—deliver this flower to Shrek Academy—to Wang Dong'er—"
He knew, of course, how dangerous it was to give the immortal herb to someone, with a high probability that it would be embezzled. But he had no other choice. In his current state, he was afraid he would die if he couldn't even get out of the Sunset Forest.
Now we can only try anything, hoping that this Title Douluo is a good person.
"I don't have the time for that, but I can make a deal with you. I'll save your life and restore you to your best condition so you can go and save others yourself. But my condition is your status as an immortal herb. That flower just said you can choose any seven immortal herbs to take away. I want you to give me the status of all seven immortal herbs. Do you want to make this deal?" Nana asked.
