Transplanting Ah Yin

After Dugu Bo left, Tang Feng began preparing antidotes for Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan.

Some medicinal powder to relax the tendons and promote blood circulation, plus his own blood.

Dugu Bo's poisoning had reached deep into his bones. He needed one dose a day, with a drop of blood in each dose.

Dugu Yan's case was not yet serious. She needed one dose a day, with a drop of blood every three days.

After drawing about 10cc of blood, Tang Feng prepared a three-month supply for grandfather and granddaughter, enough to last them until they had transferred all the poison into the Cinnabar Pearl and Soul Bone.

In the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Tang Feng rested his arms on the bank as though soaking in a hot spring.

"Now that I have the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, it's time to transplant Ah Yin here."

"Then there's my Second Soul Ring..."

As Tang Feng lay in the hot spring with his eyes closed, thinking, Dugu Bo returned to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

"Brother, asleep?"

"No. These are the antidotes for you and Yanyan. The green packages are yours, and the purple ones are Yanyan's. One dose a day."

Tang Feng took the antidotes out of his Storage Soul Tool Ring and tossed them to Dugu Bo.

Dugu Bo caught them neatly and put them in his Storage Soul Tool. Grinning, he asked:

"You're already level twenty. How about I take you to hunt a Soul Beast?"

"No need. It's not time yet." Tang Feng had other plans for his Second Soul Ring. He added:

"By the way, when do schools in the Heaven Dou Empire go on break?"

"The break starts in June, seven days from now."

"Is it the same across the whole country?"

"Of course!"

That meant Tang San still had seven days before the school year ended, and that old bastard Tang Hao would also leave Tang San for a while seven days from now.

Enough time!

Seven days was enough for Tang Feng to travel day and night from here and retrieve Ah Yin before Tang Hao.

With that thought, Tang Feng jumped out of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, got dressed, and said:

"I'm going away for a while. Keep an eye on everything here for me, don't let anyone in, and strengthen the poison barrier outside."

"Don't worry! As long as I'm here, I won't let a single person or Soul Beast slip in!" Dugu Bo promised solemnly.

The Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Infernal Delicate Apricot had transformed Tang Feng's body, bringing his physique to an astonishing level.

Three days!

It took Tang Feng only three days to reach the Swordbreak Mountain Range.

Using the same method as before, Tang Feng opened the entrance and entered the cave without a hitch.

Ah Yin was still the same Ah Yin, though perhaps Tang Feng's blood had taken effect, for she had grown a little taller.

Sensing Tang Feng's arrival, Ah Yin swayed her branches and leaves.

Gently stroking Ah Yin's slender stalk, Tang Feng said:

"Mom, I've found you a better place to grow. I'm moving you there right now, away from this pitch-black cave."

Tang Feng dug Ah Yin out of the soil and placed her temporarily in a flowerpot made with Wood Release. Then he left the cave, transplanted an ordinary Blue Silver Grass from outside, and planted it in the original hole.

To make sure it survived, Tang Feng even squeezed out a drop of his blood for it.

As Tang Feng remembered it, the old bastard Tang Hao had never left Holy Soul Village for more than an afternoon.

So, after planting Ah Yin's seed here, the old bastard most likely never came back to look after her.

"Hehe, Tang Hao, oh, Tang Hao, I hope you like this wild Blue Silver Grass of mine."

"So good~"

In the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Dugu Bo had felt light and wonderfully comfortable all over ever since taking the antidote Tang Feng had prepared for him.

The symptoms that used to flare up on rainy days and at the third watch every night had clearly improved. At least they were not as painful.

Not only that, Dugu Bo could faintly sense signs that the Soul Power bottleneck that had troubled him for over a decade was loosening.

This was a good omen!

Dugu Bo was beside himself with joy. One piece of good news came after another.

His precious granddaughter, Dugu Yan, had successfully gained six levels of Soul Power over the past six days.

He had personally checked her. Her foundation was solid, with no side effects whatsoever, and after careful observation, he had noticed signs that his precious granddaughter's Martial Soul was evolving.

Given time, it would surely become the same Martial Soul as his—the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor.

Although the Jade Phosphorus Nine Absolute Flower deserved most of the credit for his granddaughter's rise in Soul Power and her Martial Soul Evolution, still!

Without Tang Feng's store of knowledge, Dugu Bo would never have dared pick and eat the plants here at random.

Thus, Dugu Bo had no complaints whatsoever about giving the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to Tang Feng.

"Taking him as my brother was worth it."

As Dugu Bo was lost in dreams of the future, his mind wandering beyond the clouds, he abruptly rose from his lounge chair and looked into the distance.

"Someone's entered the poison formation!"

Without a moment's hesitation, Dugu Bo summoned his Martial Soul, lit up his Soul Rings, and rushed toward the spot where the poison formation had been breached.

There, a youth held a large pink flower in his hand and strolled leisurely through the poison formation. Wherever he passed, he left a green passage almost free of poison mist.

If the surrounding poison mist had not been thick enough to quickly fill the gap, who knew how much trouble it might have caused?

"You gave me a fright!"

Seeing that the newcomer was Tang Feng, Dugu Bo relaxed his taut nerves. A smile returned to his face as he said:

"I was wondering who had barged into the poison formation. You're back so soon?"

"I came back as soon as I'd finished a few small errands. The poison formation's not bad. It's much stronger than when I came last time."

As the current owner of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Tang Feng naturally had to inspect the work.

Hearing that, Dugu Bo's lips practically curled up to the sky.

"Of course! While you were away, I spent quite some time modifying the poison formation. Any ordinary Soul Douluo who enters it will be reduced to a puddle of blood within three breaths."

At that, Dugu Bo remembered that although the old poison formation had not been as powerful as the current one, any Soul Master below level seventy would have died on contact with it.

Just how did Tang Feng get in back then?

The more he thought about it, the more terrifying it seemed.

Dugu Bo was secretly alarmed. He found the youngster increasingly impossible to fathom.

He was simply not human. Hmm... nor was he a Soul Beast.

Inside the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

Dugu Bo stood beside Tang Feng, carefully studying the plant resembling Blue Silver Grass that he was transplanting.

Unlike ordinary Blue Silver Grass, it was sturdier and more upright, and its leaves bore golden patterns.

It was clearly no ordinary Blue Silver Grass.

But if it was a Blue Silver King, it seemed too small.

"This is..."

"A Blue Silver King?" Dugu Bo asked, puzzled.

"No. Step back!"

With Ah Yin at the center, Tang Feng drew a circle about ten meters in diameter.

Dugu Bo and Tang Feng both stood outside the circle.

"Dugu Bo, you see this circle?"

"I see it."

"Don't go near it!"

The words were brief and to the point. Dugu Bo was no fool; of course he could see that the Blue Silver Grass inside was important to Tang Feng. He immediately retreated several meters and said:

"I won't go near it!"

The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was so large that his brain would have to be broken for him to approach the Blue Silver Grass Tang Feng had strictly forbidden him to go near.

Besides, the poison in his body had eased considerably, so there was no need for him to stay at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well every day. He only needed to come by once a day and check that no outsiders had broken in.
