Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul, the Fangtian Halberd, Empowers Me with Filial Piety

Chapter 84 The King of Hybrid Herbs?
boom!
A dazzling golden light suddenly burst forth in front of Jiang Yi, condensing into a trident interwoven with blue and gold, which silently floated in mid-air.

Although the Trident of Poseidon is stored within Tang Wuling's body, Jiang Yi can summon it directly by activating the Poseidon Mark.

Of course, this is only if Tang Wuling doesn't resist. Tang San still has a firm grasp on the matter of maintaining a proper distance between people.

Ding!
The moment the Trident of Poseidon appeared, all the fiery petals in the sky stopped around Jiang Yi.

"Sister, I was just kidding. We're all on the same side!"

Jiang Yi held the trident of Poseidon, the mark of Poseidon shining between his brows, and exuded a gentle aura unique to Poseidon.

He raised his head and looked up at the blazing fire in the sky with a smile.

"Who is your friend?"

Liehuo Xingjiao let out a soft snort, but her eyes were filled with surprise and doubt as she looked at the Trident of Poseidon in Jiang Yi's hand.

Why does this thing look so familiar to her?
"Are you the successor of the Sea God?"

Just then, a graceful figure in purple appeared silently beside Liehuo Xingjiaoshu.

Her mysterious purple eyes were fixed intently on Jiang Yi below.

She couldn't be wrong about this aura! It was the aura of that person from twenty thousand years ago!

Tang San, the Sea God!

"A descendant of the Sea God? Impossible..."

Liehuo Xingjiao exclaimed in surprise, but her tone unconsciously softened by three points.

Her previous body was taken away by Tang San, so she still has some impression of that aura.

"Jiaojiao, don't be rude! Put your flames away right now."

Qiluo Tulip turned her head and glared reproachfully at Liehuo Xingjiaoshu.

These immortal herbs have received the favor of the sea god; how could they possibly harm their benefactor?

"Oh!"

Liehuo Xingjiao pouted and responded, but the boiling flames around her receded like a tide.

When she looked at Jiang Yi again, the anger in her eyes had disappeared, replaced by a lingering curiosity.

"Qiluo Tulip greets the successor of the Sea God!"

The beautiful tulips gracefully landed and bowed to Jiang Yi.

Her purple dress swayed, and her hair, styled in an updo, added to her mature charm. She exuded a rich, exotic fragrance.

"Blazing Apricot Blossom greets the successor of the Sea God!"

Upon seeing this, Liehuo Xingjiao also bowed.

Qiluo Tulip is the most powerful of the six ferocious beasts, and also holds the title of King of Immortal Herbs, making her their leader.

Jiang Yi glanced at the Qiluo Tulip in front of him, his eyes looking somewhat strange.

No, Brother Luo, how did you become Sister Luo?

"You two are too kind, there's no need for that! My name is Jiang Yi, please just call me by my name!"

A strange thought flashed through Jiang Yi's mind. Then, he waved to the two of them, his smile becoming even more gentle and friendly.

Jiang Yi neither confirmed nor denied the fact that the two of them had identified each other as the successors of the Sea God, but only gave vague answers. He was not one to reveal everything.

"Hehe! My little brother has such a sweet tongue!"

Liehuo Xingjiao covered her red lips and giggled. She was overjoyed to be called "sister" so many times.

Her gaze toward Jiang Yi became increasingly intriguing, as if she had spotted some rare and exotic toy.

"..."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yi maintained his smile on his face, but inwardly he was secretly cursing.

This change of expression is as fast as turning the pages of a book... Just now I called you "sister," and you called me a lecher?

However, Tang San's reputation is really useful... In the original novel, all the immortal herbs were portrayed as treacherous, and none of them were easy to get along with.

“We have been blessed by the sea god, which is why we have been able to continue to this day. Since you are the successor of the sea god, you are our honored guest today.”

"You may choose any three kinds of magical herbs and plants from the field to take away."

Qiluo Tulip nodded to Jiang Yi, then spoke gently.

Back then, although Tang San took away all the immortal herbs from the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, he reorganized and planned the remaining roots and stems.

It is of great benefit to them, especially for the protection of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eyes.

"Okay! Thank you in advance, sisters." Jiang Yi cupped his hands in thanks to the two women.

Tang San kept the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well hidden away, which was a bit excessive for outsiders to see.

But for these magical herbs, it is the protection of the gods.

"Come with me!"

Qiluo Tulip nodded slightly, then with a gentle wave of her jade hand, a rich and fragrant purple scent wafted from her sleeve, carrying Jiang Yi towards the distant two-colored lake.

“It smells so good~”

Surrounded by the fragrance, Jiang Yi felt an indescribable sweetness that soothed his soul.

This floral fragrance is quite special; it not only has the unique freshness of nature but also a touch of sweet and mellow aroma.

Hybrid varieties?

He glanced at the purple figure walking ahead and pondered to himself.

This Qiluo tulip seems a bit different; it appears to have incorporated some of the abilities of the fragrant Qiluo fairy plant.

A few breaths later, the three of them arrived at the spring of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

In an instant, several thoughts swept over from all directions; clearly, these were the remaining ferocious beasts.

However, they did not show themselves; they merely observed from afar.

"Within the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, there are currently 368 kinds of spiritual herbs of the ten-thousand-year level, and 16 kinds of herbs of more than one hundred thousand years. You can choose any three from this range."

Qiluo Tulip waved her hand, put Jiang Yi back on the ground, and introduced him to her.

After ten thousand years of recuperation, the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eyes had accumulated a considerable number of high-grade immortal herbs. She didn't feel bad about taking away three of them.

"Ok!"

Jiang Yi nodded slightly and looked in the direction of Qi Luo Tulip's hand.

Within the valley, the closer one gets to the spring, the sparser the vegetation becomes, and by the time one reaches the shore, only a dozen or so species of plants remain.

These dozen or so immortal herbs are much larger than other plants, and they should all be top-grade immortal herbs that are over 100,000 years old.

"Can I choose either of the two older sisters?"

Jiang Yi blinked, his gaze returning to Qi Luo Tulip and Lie Huo Xing Jiao Shu, a sheepish smile on his face.

If he had to choose, he'd definitely pick the best! Of course, he'd want it all! Only children make choices!

"If Jiaojiao is willing, then of course there is no problem."

Qiluo Tulip smiled slightly, but her words conveyed a sense of rejection.

The sea goddesses were from tens of thousands of years ago, and unless their lifespan is nearing its end, they would not go out with humans.

"Oh dear! Although I also like Jiang Yi very much, I will die soon if I leave here."

On the other side, Liehuo Xingjiao also sighed in a pretentious manner, gently stroking her cheek with her slender hand, revealing a pitiful appearance.

"Little brother, you wouldn't want your sister to die like this, would you..."

She has at least two or three thousand more years of peaceful life before facing the next heavenly tribulation. Only someone who's had too much time on their hands would take such a risk.

If she were to become a spirit, and the other party didn't become a god, she would only have a lifespan of two or three hundred years at most. She wouldn't do such a losing proposition.

"I see. That's a shame."

Jiang Yi nodded and sighed, feigning regret.

He wasn't surprised at all; these medicinal herbs were typical opportunists, never acting without personal gain.

In the original story, it was only because of the intimidation of Zang Xin, a demigod, that they had no choice but to bow their heads.

The Trident of Poseidon alone is not enough to deter others. While divine artifacts are rare on the Douluo Continent, they are not entirely nonexistent.

Unless he pulls Tang San's divine sense out, these ferocious beasts probably won't give in easily.

However, he had already prepared a backup plan on the way here.

Jiang Yi turned his gaze to the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire in front of him, and a slight tremor was coming from the Silver Dragon King bloodline in his body.

If you don't leave, then I'll just move this Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well right away!
"Sister Qiluo!"

Jiang Yi then looked at the Qiluo Tulip, his eyes filled with a smile.

"I wonder if I could follow in the footsteps of my ancestors and enter the spring to temper my body with the power of ice and fire?"

　In the original work, I feel that the descriptions of the Qiluo Tulip and Youxiang Qiluo Immortal Herb are mixed up. Moreover, the age of the Qiluo Tulip is inconsistent. At the beginning, it is described as the only ferocious beast that has survived two heavenly tribulations, but later it becomes that it is not confident of surviving the second heavenly tribulation... It's too difficult to keep up with!
