The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well
Tang San nodded earnestly, his expression solemn. "Sister Yan, I will do my best."
Dugu Bo's gaze fell on Tang San: "Kid, what's your plan for detoxifying? Tell me, and if it works, I'll agree to your relationship with my granddaughter."
Tang San inwardly scoffed at Dugu Bo: Have you even figured out your role? Do you need to agree to this?
After a moment of silence, to be honest, Tang San didn't know how to cure the poison either.
But I can't resist my past life's love of studying and reading novels, so I just follow other people's methods. I don't care whether they work or not, and I don't know how to do it.
Anyway, I just put forward the idea and let Dugu Bo figure it out himself.
(You have to read novels, you have to learn from novels!)
Tang San took a deep breath, organized his thoughts, and then slowly said, "Your Excellency Poison Douluo, I have an idea, which may not be correct, but please listen to it."
Dugu Bo nodded, his gaze fixed intently on Tang San.
"The backlash from the Jade Phosphorus Snake Poison's venom is essentially the accumulation of toxins from the Martial Soul within the host's body. These toxins are deeply intertwined with the host's Martial Soul and cannot be eliminated through ordinary detoxification methods."
"However, if the toxins in the body can be guided to a specific container and separated from the host's body, the problem of backlash can be greatly alleviated."
"A container?" Dugu Bo frowned. "What container?"
"Soul Bones," Tang San said, "Ideally, limb Soul Bones. Soul Bones are deeply integrated with the host's body, yet relatively independent, and can serve as carriers of toxins. If the Jade Phosphorus Snake Poison can be guided from various parts of the body into a Soul Bone, then the host's body can be liberated, and the toxins will no longer erode them. If it's a Poison-Attribute Soul Bone, it might even enhance the Soul Bone's attack power."
Dugu Bo's eyes suddenly lit up. This idea was so novel that it shocked him.
"You mean, use the Soul Bone to store the toxins in the body?" Dugu Bo's voice trembled slightly, carrying an barely suppressed excitement.
Tang San nodded. "Exactly. Guiding the toxins into the Soul Bone is like pouring sewage into a sealed jar, preventing it from polluting the outside environment. Moreover, the toxins within the Soul Bone can be released during battle, enhancing attack power."
Dugu Bo paced back and forth in the stone chamber, muttering to himself as if he had discovered a new continent.
"Kid, your idea is feasible!" Dugu Bo's voice was filled with excitement. "How come I didn't think of that? Soul Bone, Soul Bone! Hahaha, Soul Bone!"
Seeing her grandfather's excited expression, a glimmer of hope also flashed in Dugu Yan's eyes.
Tang San's expression remained solemn. He waited until Dugu Bo had calmed down before slowly speaking, "Your Majesty, while this method is feasible, it also has significant limitations."
Dugu Bo's smile froze, and his brows furrowed slightly. "What limitations?"
"First, Soul Bones are extremely rare, especially high-quality limb Soul Bones. While ordinary hundred-year or Thousand-Year Soul Bones can also be used to seal toxins, their capacity is limited, and the lower the quality, the fewer toxins they can seal."
"The toxins in Sister Yan's body can be relieved with a thousand-year-old Soul Bone. But the concentration of toxins in your body requires Soul Bone of Ten Thousand Years or More to effectively alleviate."
"Moreover, this isn't a problem that can be solved with just one piece. As the toxins continue to be generated, you'll need more Soul Bones to seal in the new toxins."
Tang San paused, then continued, "Secondly, this method can only alleviate the symptoms, not cure the problem. It addresses the issue of sealing off existing toxins, but it doesn't solve the root cause of the toxins' formation."
"As long as you use your Martial Soul, the toxins will continue to be produced. Even if you seal all the toxins in your body with Soul Bone now, new toxins will accumulate again in ten or twenty years, and you'll need new Soul Bones then. How many Soul Bones can you get?"
Dugu Bo's face darkened.
"Third," Tang San continued, "The poison in your descendants will still exist. This method can only solve the problem for your generation and Miss Dugu's generation; it cannot change the genetic characteristics of the Jade Phosphorus Snake Martial Soul. As long as Sister Yan's descendants inherit this Martial Soul, they will still suffer from the backlash of the poison. Where are there so many Soul Bones to use for every generation?"
Dugu Bo fell silent, his brows furrowing into a deep frown, his expression shifting from excitement to seriousness.
"Then what should we do?" Dugu Bo looked up at Tang San, his voice tinged with helplessness. "Kid, since you've come up with these ideas, you must have a solution. Just say it, stop keeping me in suspense."
"Besides the Soul Bone, there's another way," Tang San said solemnly. "Find precious medicinal herbs to fundamentally modify the Jade Phosphorus Snake Martial Soul, allowing it to Martial Soul Evolution the ability to control toxins."
Dugu Bo looked at him with a puzzled expression and asked, "Precious herbs? What herbs?"
Tang San shook his head helplessly. "I know some precious medicinal herbs and have a general understanding of their properties and effects. However, I haven't been able to find any of them yet."
Dugu Bo's lips curled into a meaningful smile, "I have a medicinal herb garden where some herbs grow, all of them very rare. However, I don't recognize them, and I dare not consume them rashly. I can take you there to see if there are any suitable ones."
What else is there to say? That's exactly what I've been waiting for. Tang San was secretly delighted and nodded in agreement.
Soon, the three emerged from the secret chamber and greeted Ye Renxin. Dugu Bo then used his Soul Power to lift Tang San and Dugu Yan, flying towards Sunset Forest.
Before long, the three arrived at the edge of Sunset Forest. Tang San looked at the familiar green forest and was filled with emotion. He had once searched aimlessly here for more than three months, but had not even seen a trace of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
Dugu Bo carried Tang San and Dugu Yan, flying rapidly over the forest. After about an hour, the sky began to darken.
The three landed on the outskirts of a poisonous miasma.
Dugu Bo stopped and took out two small porcelain bottles from his robes, handing them to Tang San and Dugu Yan: "These are antidote pills. Place them under your tongue. This poisonous miasma is extremely potent; without the antidote, even Soul Douluo cannot enter."
Tang San and Dugu Yan took the porcelain bottle, poured out a pill, put it under their tongues, and followed closely in Dugu Bo's footsteps.
After walking for about fifteen minutes, the poisonous miasma suddenly thinned out.
Tang San froze, completely stunned by the sight before him.
This is a valley. Surrounded by mountains on all sides, it isolates this place from the outside world. The valley is not large, but every inch of land exudes a breathtaking vitality.
And in the very center of the valley is a spring.
The spring water splits into two streams, one red and one blue, gushing out from the ground and converging at the springhead.
The red spring water steams and boils, its surface bubbling, and the air is filled with a scorching heat; the blue spring water is chillingly cold, its surface covered with a thin layer of ice, and white mist drifts in the air.
Two springs, one hot and one cold, coexist in the same world, neither invading nor incompatible with each other, like two giant dragons intertwined.
Around the spring, all sorts of plants grow, each radiating extremely rich energy fluctuations.
The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
Tang San had imagined it countless times in his mind, but when he actually stood here and saw this magical land with his own eyes, the shock he felt was indescribable.
Dugu Bo stood beside Tang San and said in a low voice, "This place is a treasure land that I discovered by chance many years ago. The spring water contains extremely vast energy, and every plant here, though I don't recognize it, is a rare and precious treasure that cannot be found outside. I have studied it here for decades, but I still cannot fathom its mysteries."
