"Poisonous miasma?" Su Yu asked. 

Songzi, who was in charge of the escort team's operations, typically stayed in Heaven Dou City, making him highly knowledgeable about the surrounding areas. 

Su Yu often gathered intelligence from him. 

"It's said that even a Titled Douluo once ventured inside to investigate and never returned." 

"Even a Titled Douluo can succumb to it?" 

Song zi shook his head and replied, "Not exactly. The poisonous miasma might be uncomfortable even for a Titled Douluo, but that particular one likely died from other internal dangers." 

What lay within the poisonous miasma remained a topic of speculation. 

Some believed it was a coalition of 100,000-year soul beasts resisting human intrusion. 

Others theorized that a priceless treasure was hidden there, with the miasma and its dangers originating from the Poison Douluo, a legendary figure from ten millennia ago, renowned for his unparalleled poison arts. 

Despite numerous theories, none had been verified. 

"Xiao Su, you're not thinking of exploring that poisonous miasma, are you?" Song zi asked with some concern and then cautioned him. "By the way, your Blue Silver Grass has mutated. Is it aligned with poison attributes?" 

Su Yu shook his head and answered, "No, my mutation is toward life attributes." 

Song zi breathed a sigh of relief. He had assumed Su Yu's curiosity stemmed from a need for poison-related resources. 

"Life attributes, huh? That's good. 

Xiao Su, let me tell you—life attributes are highly sought after. 

Don't listen to all that talk about Soul Master Tournaments and the like. While auxiliary system soul masters are important, their influence in battles isn't always substantial. 

No real soul master cares much about those tournaments. 

The academy folks distort values just for the sake of competition. 

Auxiliary system soul masters, especially those with healing life attributes, are in great demand." 

Songzi had his own unique perspectives, which left Su Yu impressed. 

This world was never short of insightful individuals, who used their life experiences to summarize meaningful lessons. 

However, such people often lacked the so-called authority to validate their wisdom. 

"Don't worry, Brother Songzi. I'm just curious, that's all," Su Yu reassured him, dispelling his concerns, before continuing to ask about the surrounding situation. 

Songzi spoke with great enthusiasm. 

"The Iron-Blood Sect is cooperating with us. Their sect currently occupies the old site of Tang Sect." 

"Ha! The Tang Sect, with its thousand-year legacy, has been taken over by them. Isn't that impressive?" 

Having just joined the escort team, Su Yu wasn't assigned any mandatory tasks. 

Particularly after it was discovered that his life-attributed Blue Silver Grass featured two restorative soul skills, Song zi allowed him to focus solely on personal cultivation. 

Su Yu gladly took the opportunity and occasionally ventured into Sunset Forest to explore. 

In his intermediate battle armor fusion state, Su Yu wielded combat strength comparable to a Soul Douluo. His twin wings ensured he could travel back and forth swiftly. 

Over several days, Su Yu roughly mapped the poisonous miasma's range and began investigating its inner regions. 

With his Blue Silver Grass's ultimate life attribute, it became his most effective tool for detection. 

In the forest of soul beasts, where Blue Silver Grass grew abundantly, every blade could serve as his eyes, allowing him to sense the surroundings. 

"Sunset Forest really does seem to have 100,000-year soul beasts," Su Yu muttered, having detected a blazing aura of fire. 

However, he avoided disturbing it. 

"First, let's look for immortal herbs." 

Wrapping himself in soul power, Su Yu used dense life energy to isolate himself from the surrounding poison. 

Before him loomed a thick miasma of vibrant, multicolored poison. 

"The poison of the Biphosphorous Seven Absolutes Flower is truly terrifying," Su Yu noted. 

Only by enveloping himself with his ultimate life attribute soul power could he dare venture through the miasma. 

Any Titled Douluo brave enough to explore this place must have been out of their mind. 

They were likely corroded by the rainbow-hued poison as soon as they entered. 

Pushing further into the miasma, Su Yu moved toward the densest concentration of toxins. Soon, he saw a valley shrouded in a sea of verdant green plants. 

Each plant had nine bizarrely shaped leaves, some resembling human hands with seven fingers, while larger ones boasted nine. 

"Biphosphorous Seven Absolutes Flowers!" 

In Su Yu's mental sea, the voice of the Blue Silver Emperor echoed. 

While Su Yu recognized the flowers, he had forgotten their specific characteristics. 

"The Biphosphorous Seven Absolutes Flower is a rare toxic plant. Its poison is exceptionally potent, as you've already felt. Although your ultimate life force prevents complete corrosion, it's still being continuously drained. 

The larger plants with nine fingers have evolved into plant-type soul beasts, the Biphosphorous Nine Absolutes Flowers, each equivalent to a 10,000-year soul beast." 

The Blue Silver Emperor was stunned by the sheer number of Biphosphorous Seven Absolutes and Nine Absolutes Flowers present. 

"Xiao Yu, find a way into the valley. There's something valuable inside," Yi Lao instructed, sensing something extraordinary within. 

The Blue Silver Emperor added, "Su Yu, I can feel it too. There's an incredible opportunity for plant-type soul beasts in that valley." 

Without further prompting, Su Yu had already decided to proceed. 

Shrouding himself in abundant life energy, he stepped deeper into the miasma. 

The multicolored poison clashed with his life force, emitting sizzling sounds. 

Droplets of venom dripped to the ground, corroding it into pitted hollows. 

However, the life energy surrounding Su Yu was extraordinarily resilient. No matter how concentrated the poison from the Biphosphorous Seven Absolutes Flowers became, it could not penetrate his ultimate life force. 

With the replenishment provided by his Blade of Living Beings, Su Yu's life energy seemed virtually limitless. 

Moreover, even in an environment saturated with poison, where even the ambient elemental energy of heaven and earth had been tainted, Su Yu could still absorb it to restore his life force. 

The sixth soul skill bestowed upon Su Yu by the Blue Silver Emperor was incredibly powerful, capable of converting all forms of energy into nourishment for himself. 

This was the pinnacle of life attributes. 

From his storage soul tool, Su Yu retrieved a ninth-grade soul cannon and infused it with soul power. 

This soul cannon was given to him by Jing Hongchen during a previous encounter. Now, with the amplification provided by his intermediate battle armor, Su Yu's soul power had reached the level of a Soul Douluo, barely sufficient to operate the ninth-grade soul cannon. 

He didn't intend to destroy anything but instead used the soul cannon as a deterrent. 

If you don't provoke me, I won't provoke you. 

Throughout the process, the Biphosphorous Nine Absolutes Flowers did not show any aggressive reactions, allowing Su Yu to enter the valley without incident. 

Clearing a path with difficulty, Su Yu leapt forward, his battle armor wings releasing energy to slow his descent. 

When he landed, a mesmerizing array of dazzling colors unfolded before his eyes. 

It was like a paradise on earth, with radiant lights of various hues shimmering, creating an almost hypnotic beauty. 

"All of these are rare treasures," Su Yu murmured. 

"Immortal herbs," the Blue Silver Emperor added, marveling. It was incredible that such priceless treasures could be concentrated in this small valley. 

Then, his attention was drawn to the depths of the valley. 

There, two spring pools converged—one red and one blue. The two springs intertwined, causing even the air above them to ripple faintly with distortion. 

Rich life energy emanated from the springs, spreading throughout the valley. 

"A paradise on earth!" the Blue Silver Emperor exclaimed. 

Even the valley where he had lived for over a hundred thousand years, carefully cultivated and filled with Blue Silver Grass drawing in the elemental energy of heaven and earth, paled in comparison. 

This valley's life force was at least twenty times greater! 

Su Yu's soul power stirred uncontrollably. Even with his ultimate life attribute, he felt that training here would significantly accelerate his progress. 

"This place is truly a haven for plant-type soul beasts!" the Blue Silver Emperor remarked. "The growth rate of plant-type soul beasts here is at least ten times faster than outside." 

Su Yu observed the rare treasures before him, noticing that they seemed faintly wary of him. He spoke calmly, "Everyone, there's no need for such hostility." 

He activated his soul power, fully releasing the aura of ultimate life. 

"Is this... ultimate life?" 

A gentle female voice suddenly rang out. 

Su Yu looked over to see a large pink flower swaying gracefully near the twin springs. 

A subtle, refreshing fragrance wafted through the air. As Su Yu inhaled, the scent transformed into an energy flow that coursed through his meridians, leaving him feeling refreshed and invigorated. 

"Can you represent the plant-type soul beasts here? If so, could you at least have them lower their aggressive stances?" Su Yu asked. 

His request wasn't unreasonable, and his aura of ultimate life seemed to create a slight sense of kinship with the Enchanting Fragrance Qi Luo Immortal. 

"Very well, everyone, stand down," the Immortal said. 

The Enchanting Fragrance Qi Luo Immortal held considerable status around the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Springs. At her command, many plant-type soul beasts immediately withdrew their aggressive postures. 

However, a faint sense of vigilance remained. 

"Human, were you guided here by that person?" the Immortal asked. 

"No, I wasn't," Su Yu replied. 

"Ah, I see..." 

The Enchanting Fragrance Qi Luo Immortal appeared troubled. 

According to that person's instructions, anyone entering this place other than his successor might covet the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Springs or even bring catastrophic destruction. Such individuals were to be eliminated without hesitation. 

But this soul master possessed ultimate life attributes. 

Surely, someone like him wouldn't be so malicious, would he? 

The Enchanting Fragrance Qi Luo Immortal did not follow the script and instead began introducing herself.

"Hello, you can call me You You. What brings you here? I must warn you, this is the foundation for all plant-type soul beasts. If you have ill intentions, even if you are of ultimate life force, we won't let you off."

"Hello, my name is Su Yu. Since you all live here, don't you know the importance of this place to plant-type soul beasts?" Su Yu smiled and revealed his purpose.

He summoned his martial soul.

A Blue Silver Grass grew from his palm, its golden and silver veins spreading across its surface, intertwined with faint purple electricity.

An overwhelming aura of ultimate life force burst forth, causing even the immortal herbs closest to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Springs to quiver and sway.

"You can see for yourself, my martial soul is Blue Silver Grass. The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Springs are also an excellent place for me to cultivate, I will not destroy it."

You You seemed to acknowledge Su Yu's words and relaxed.

After all, this human had a plant-type martial soul, and the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Springs would benefit him too.

But then again...

Blue Silver Grass.

That person also had Blue Silver Grass. Why isn't he cultivating here?

The Enchanting Fragrance Qi Luo Immortal had gained intelligence only after that person ascended to godhood, but she had some recollection of the past events in this place.

Perhaps he didn't possess the ultimate life attribute.

"Su Yu, are you planning to cultivate here?" You You asked.

"I'll set aside some time each day to cultivate here," Su Yu replied.

"Oh."

You You seemed unsatisfied with the answer.

She was worried about the risk of information leaking out if he came and went too frequently.

"Why don't you come here to seclude yourself for a few years instead? Coming and going is too troublesome."

"Are you worried I'll leak information about this place?"

You You wobbled her body but didn't respond.

Su Yu had anticipated this.

"In that case, may I harvest some of the mindless medicinal herbs to take with me?" he asked.

You You swayed and spoke, "Yes, but you cannot take anything with consciousness."

Su Yu silently noted that ultimate life force indeed had its privileges.

"By the way, I have a book here. It seems to record the details of various medicinal herbs."

Su Yu felt that You You might be too eager to give him these items.

It almost seemed as if she was pushing them onto him.

"You You, is there anything you need my help with?"

The Enchanting Fragrance Qi Luo Immortal swayed again, and another wave of fragrance wafted through the air.

"Hehe, can I... absorb a bit of your ultimate life force?"

The allure of ultimate life force was strong for plant-type soul beasts, and You You seemed to crave it.

There were other motives as well, but she didn't feel it was appropriate to voice them.

For instance, after all these years, a human had finally entered. Completing that person's task was no easy feat.

She might as well give these things to Su Yu now, so she wouldn't have to wait for his successor.

Hehe, with a Blue Silver Grass martial soul like yours, and the ultimate life force... I mistook you for his successor.

Su Yu was unaware of You You's hidden thoughts, but what she gave him was a genuine copy of the Tang Sect's poison manual.

The Tang Sect's poison manual, passed down from Tang San, was made from a snow-white material. Even after ten thousand years, it showed no signs of decay.

The cover had no title. Su Yu opened the first page.

"I'm glad someone can read my message. If you've passed the test of the Enchanting Fragrance Qi Luo Immortal, it means you are qualified to read this book.

This book was written by the Tang Sect's ancestor, Tang San. It records various poisonous herbs and their properties, as well as some lost techniques of the Tang Sect. After learning from it, please leave the book behind and use its contents with caution."

It was unclear whether Tang San had placed the book here himself or entrusted someone to do it, but the opening words were somewhat misleading.

Su Yu didn't linger too long and continued flipping through the pages.

There was no denying that the knowledge Tang San had learned from the Tang Sect was valuable.

His character aside, the knowledge itself was sacred, and Su Yu read it without any psychological burden.

The second page opened with another message from Tang San.

Looking at words like "The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Springs are a gift from the heavens," and "I dared not keep it to myself," Su Yu felt a sense of discomfort.

"Since you have passed my test, you must be cautious of greed and anger. Do not take more than seven immortal herbs from here."
