Chapter 322 Jin Li: Yuhao, you smell so good!
As it turns out, Huo Yuhao did not disappoint Jin Li's unwavering trust.
Just as the two were getting closer and closer to the thick, almost tangible poisonous miasma, and the swirling poisonous fog in front of them had become so dense that even the air had become sticky and pungent, a soft pink halo suddenly emanated from Huo Yuhao's body.
The halo wasn't dazzling; it slowly spread outwards from Huo Yuhao, perfectly enveloping Jin Li as well.
Jin Li blinked her big golden eyes. She keenly noticed that as the pink halo appeared, the surrounding poisonous fog seemed to have encountered some kind of dreaded natural enemy, and almost instantly it dispersed in all directions, creating a clear and safe area around the two of them.
At the same time, a very faint and subtle fragrance wafted into her nostrils.
The fragrance is elegant and lingering, refreshing yet not cloying.
Jin Li sniffed hard, turned her head to look at Huo Yuhao flying to her left, and blurted out, "Yuhao, you smell so good."
Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao's lips twitched almost imperceptibly.
He continued flying forward without looking to the side, as if he hadn't heard the ridiculous praise at all. He simply explained, "This pink aura can block the poisonous miasma. Don't worry, just follow me."
This refreshing fragrance did not emanate from Huo Yuhao himself, but rather came from the soul spirit, the Qiluo Tulip, within his spiritual sea.
As the former king of immortal herbs, the Qiluo Tulip is born with the ability to eliminate all poisons, making it immune to all poisons and warding off all evil.
Even though it has now broken free from the physical form of the immortal herb and become a soul residing in Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea, this innate talent and supernatural power has not disappeared.
This is also the source of Huo Yuhao's confidence and reliance in coming here, even though he knew that the Seven Deadly Poisons Formation of the Azure Phosphorus was a highly poisonous barrier personally set up by the Sea God Tang San.
Since the poisonous miasma had no effect, it naturally couldn't stop Huo Yuhao and Jin Li's progress.
Guided by the Qiluo Tulip, the two flew to the area above Sunset Forest where the poisonous miasma was most concentrated.
Without hesitation, Huo Yuhao tightened his grip on Jin Li's hand, and the two began to descend slowly, plunging into the thick white poisonous miasma.
After passing through this thick layer of white poisonous miasma, the scene before us suddenly changed.
The poisonous miasma below was strangely vibrant with seven colors: red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple. The seven-colored poisonous mist surged slowly in the depths of the dense forest like flowing rainbows, intertwining layer upon layer, creating a dreamlike and illusory beauty when viewed from afar.
However, the more beautiful something is in nature, the more dangerous it often is. This seven-colored poisonous miasma is the most typical example. Behind its dazzling colors lies a deadly poison that would make even a titled Douluo hesitate to approach.
Huo Yuhao knew in his heart that this was the Seven Deadly Poisons produced by the Jade Phosphorous Seven Deadly Flowers.
The Seven Deadly Flowers of Azure Phosphorus are the most poisonous things in the world. After being planted and arranged by the Sea God Tang San, the toxicity of the Seven Deadly Flowers has been superimposed and catalyzed in this closed valley. After tens of thousands of years of brewing and settling, it has evolved into a death barrier.
However, Huo Yuhao showed no sign of panic. With the Queen of Immortal Herbs, the Qiluo Tulip, by his side, these deadly poisons, which would give even a Title Douluo a great headache, were nothing more than pretty-looking mist to him.
Sure enough, wherever the pink halo reached, the seven-colored poisonous miasma melted away silently, like snowflakes thrown into boiling oil, without even a chance to resist.
Soon, the two passed through the layer of seven-colored poisonous miasma.
Suddenly, their view cleared up, and the valley below, which had been tightly guarded by layers of poisonous miasma for tens of thousands of years, finally came into view without any obstruction.
The valley is not large, surrounded by green mountains on all sides, with steep cliffs that isolate it from all the noise and disturbances of the outside world.
The valley is filled with all sorts of exotic flowers and rare herbs, and the colorful plants compete with each other to cover the entire valley.
Many of the flowers and plants radiated a soft, shimmering glow, clearly indicating their age. The entire valley was like a fairyland, a secluded paradise for plants.
In the very center of this valley lies a lake with distinctly different features.
One side of the lake was icy white, and a faint chill lingered on its surface.
On the other side, it was fiery red, with scorching water vapor rising upwards, distorting the air above it.
Jin Li's eyes widened, her golden pupils filled with disbelief and shock.
She never imagined that beneath that poisonous miasma lay such a vibrant paradise.
Huo Yuhao looked down at the paradise-like scene below. His face remained calm, but his heart was pounding uncontrollably in his chest.
His plan succeeded. In the world ten thousand years ago, before the Tang Sect rose again, he first found the treasure land of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well!
Huo Yuhao pulled Jin Li along as they slowly descended from the sky above the valley, landing steadily on the shore of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.
The air was filled with a rich, almost tangible, spiritual energy of heaven and earth, mixed with the delicate medicinal fragrance emanating from countless immortal herbs. With each breath, every pore on the body opened up, and every part of the body felt an indescribable sense of comfort.
The shock in Jin Li's eyes had not subsided, and she couldn't help but ask again, "Where exactly is this place?"
Huo Yuhao stood beside her, a slight smile playing on his lips: "A treasure trove on the continent, the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire."
Jin Li's eyes still held a hint of confusion, clearly indicating that she had never heard of the name Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye.
Just as she was about to ask something more, she noticed that Huo Yuhao suddenly raised his right hand.
She looked down and realized that Huo Yuhao had already let go of her hand, while her hand was still tightly gripping his.
Seeing her belated realization, Huo Yuhao reminded her again, "You can loosen your grip now, you don't need to hold on so tightly anymore."
Jin Li then realized what was happening and quickly let go of her hand.
She didn't blush or act shy like a typical young girl; instead, she glanced down at the faint red finger marks on Huo Yuhao's hand where she had gripped it tightly, and a hint of apology flashed in her golden eyes.
At that moment, Huo Yuhao's expression suddenly tightened slightly.
In his spiritual sea, the usually elegant and composed Tulip, who always considered herself the king of immortal herbs, was now shouting in a panicked tone that was completely out of character for her.
"And me?"
"Where is my large original body?"
"Why can't I find it here?!"
Huo Yuhao sank into his spiritual sea and saw that Qi Luo Tulip's face was filled with confusion and panic.
He frowned slightly and asked, "What's wrong? What happened?"
Seeing Huo Yuhao appear was like seeing a savior for Qiluo Tulip.
She quickly floated to Huo Yuhao's side, her usually calm eyes now churning with undisguised confusion and unease, and her voice was more hurried than usual.
"Yuhao, are you sure this is really the world from ten thousand years ago, right?"
"It's not an illusion, not a trick of the eye, is it really a return to ten thousand years ago?"
Huo Yuhao was completely baffled by her question. For the past six months, Qiluo Tulip, as his soul spirit, had been residing in the Sea of Spirit, and he had witnessed everything that happened in the outside world.
The prosperity of Xingluo City, the rise of the Spirit Pagoda, and the relentless forging by the Forging Association—which of these was not something he had personally witnessed?
He suppressed his doubts and replied, "That's right, this is indeed ten thousand years ago. You've witnessed everything that's happened in the outside world these past few days. Is there a problem?"
Qiluo Tulip shook her head vigorously, her long purple hair tracing messy arcs with her movements.
The confusion in his eyes did not diminish; on the contrary, it intensified because of Huo Yuhao's affirmation, and his voice even trembled slightly without him realizing it.
"It is precisely because I have seen it all that I am so confused now."
"Ten thousand years ago, at this very moment, according to my memory, my original body should have been just over ten thousand years old when it took root around this Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire."
"But I just thoroughly searched the entire Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well area, and I couldn't find my own body at all."
