Humans were all evil, let alone a human Titled Douluo. Dugu Bo's toxins were so powerful and his killing intent so fierce; he must have slaughtered countless soul beasts. He deserved to die!
"Alright, alright, Sister Zi Ji, spare his life." Just then, Ye Feng's voice came from behind her.
"Young Master, he just tried to use you to threaten me. How can you let him go?"
Zi Ji immediately puffed out her cheeks and spoke with some dissatisfaction.
She even seemed a little aggrieved.
This scene nearly scared Dugu Bo to death!
Such a terrifying expert was actually showing this side of herself before that young man, and she had even called him Young Master!
Just who was that young man?
And he had actually tried to use that young man to threaten her...
At the thought, Dugu Bo wished he could slap himself hundreds of times.
He had done plenty of such things in the past, but this time, he had truly kicked an iron plate...
"He's still a Titled Douluo, after all. This treasure land still needs someone to guard it."
Ye Feng said with a faint smile.
He could not possibly empty out the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, so naturally, he needed a guardian.
Dugu Bo was quite suitable.
Moreover, Bi Ji and Zi Ji were soul beasts and had no foundation whatsoever among humans, so certain matters would inevitably be inconvenient for them.
Dugu Bo was, after all, a very famous Titled Douluo and an honored guest of the Heaven Dou Imperial Family. He was highly valuable, and killing him would be a pity.
Besides, Ye Feng knew Dugu Bo's weakness. By holding that weakness over him and suppressing him with overwhelming strength, he could make Dugu Bo completely obedient.
"Hmph, consider yourself lucky. My Young Master is magnanimous enough to spare your life."
"If there is a next time, I'll make you wish you were dead!"
Only then did Zi Ji toss Dugu Bo onto the ground, her face full of displeasure.
"Th... thank you... thank you, Your Excellency..."
Where was Dugu Bo's former majesty now? If his body had not been unable to move, he would have immediately knelt down to thank them.
It was a little humiliating, but he was already an old man. He could bend and stretch when necessary; what was face worth?
Of course, the most important thing was his granddaughter. He absolutely could not die here.
"Sister Bi Ji, I'll have to trouble you."
Ye Feng looked at Bi Ji.
"Mm."
Bi Ji nodded. A soft, pure white radiance spread from her body and fell upon Dugu Bo, rapidly healing his injuries.
Though treating a human made her somewhat displeased, she would still obey Ye Feng's requests unconditionally.
However, she had no intention of fully healing him. It was enough to ensure that he would not suddenly die from his severe injuries.
That would keep him from turning against them.
Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Searching for Immortal Herbs
A few minutes later.
Dugu Bo's aura finally stabilized. Most of his external wounds had healed, but his aura remained extraordinarily weak, less than one ten-thousandth of what it had initially been.
However, Dugu Bo had directly fallen unconscious.
"I'm going treasure hunting. It would be best to control this guy first."
Ye Feng glanced at Dugu Bo as he spoke.
This fellow was still useful, but Ye Feng could not bring him into the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well right now.
"I'll do it."
Zi Ji smiled faintly, then casually waved her hand, opening a gate through the void beside her.
The next moment, an ugly monster covered in flames crawled out from within.
"This is..."
Sensing the aura beyond the void gate, Ye Feng's pupils narrowed slightly.
"This is a small Abyss Gate. It can summon Abyss Demons, though I can only summon lesser Abyss Demons from the first ten layers. Don't let its small size fool you; it has combat strength equivalent to a human Soul King." Zi Ji explained with a smile, sounding rather proud.
"That's good. Sister Zi Ji really is amazing~"
Ye Feng laughed heartily and did not hesitate to praise her.
He had not expected Zi Ji to be able to open a passage to the abyss. If he had the chance in the future, he could use this passage to travel to the Abyss World.
There was a super divine artifact in the Abyss World, so it was quite valuable.
Of course, Zi Ji's passage definitely could not allow powerful experts through, but Ye Feng had the Term System. As long as he obtained the coordinates of the abyss, invading it would only be a matter of time.
"By the way, Young Master, the treasure you mentioned couldn't be this old fellow's lair, could it?" Zi Ji pointed at Dugu Bo.
She looked rather puzzled. Dugu Bo looked pathetic and did not seem like someone with treasures.
"Of course. He's simply sitting on a mountain of treasure without knowing how to mine it." Ye Feng smiled faintly.
In this world, Tang San was the only one who knew about Immortal Herbs. Even the Silver Dragon King did not know about these things. Though it was strange, that was simply the truth.
After speaking, Ye Feng ignored Dugu Bo and headed directly toward the top of the hill.
Bi Ji and Zi Ji exchanged glances. Although confusion remained in their eyes, they quickly followed after him.
Only the little demon remained behind to guard the unconscious Dugu Bo.
Naturally, Dugu Bo had ways to escape if he wanted to, but he most likely would not do so. After all, Dugu Bo still had a weakness.
And after barely surviving, being hunted down for trying to flee would truly not be worth it.
As Ye Feng crossed the hill, a cone-shaped mountain hollow came into view. The mountaintop where they stood was at the edge of the hollow. Thick steam rose from within, humid and carrying the distinctive scent of sulfur.
The terrain below was complicated, with a small cliff. Vegetation grew thickly, and the depths were impossible to see.
The steam drifted up from below.
"There's actually a hot spring down there. That's strange..."
Zi Ji and Bi Ji were immediately surprised, their curiosity growing. Could the treasure be this hot spring?
Ye Feng did not answer and quickly descended beneath the cliff.
The cliff face was steep, and the light below was dim. An ordinary person could easily lose their life with one misstep, but this was nothing to Ye Feng.
A few minutes later, Ye Feng successfully landed beneath the cliff.
There was a small valley here.
The most conspicuous sight in the valley was the hot spring at its center.
The hot spring was not large, but it was divided into two sections. Within the oval pool, the spring water was milky white on one side and crimson on the other, clearly separated and never encroaching upon each other, always remaining on their respective sides.
"The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well really is here!"
At the sight, Ye Feng was instantly overjoyed.
All kinds of plants grew around the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, each with a different appearance. Every one of them was rare and precious.
Ye Feng naturally did not recognize most of the herbs here, but ordinary Heaven and Earth Treasures were useless to him. Only Immortal Herbs could catch his eye.
There were only so many Immortal Herbs, and their characteristics were extremely distinctive, making them easy to identify.
For example, there was a massive chrysanthemum nearby, a captivating purple in color. Its central stamen rose more than half a foot above its petals and gleamed with a faint golden radiance. This should be the legendary Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, capable of opening the extraordinary meridians and forging an indestructible body.
Beside it was a snow-white eight-petaled orchid, the Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid. It had heaven-defying effects in strengthening one's foundation and cleansing impurities from the body.
Ye Feng also saw the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower, Aromatic Silk Beauty, Aromatic Silk Beauty...
However, Ye Feng's gaze remained fixed on the Extreme Cold Spring and the Blazing Sun Spring. More precisely, it was fixed on the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the Infernal Delicate Apricot.
These two Immortal Herbs were his ultimate goal, as well as two of the most precious Immortal Herbs here.
"What a miraculous place. Who would have thought that such a vibrant place could exist in the barren Sunset Forest..."
"Though this valley is small, its vitality is even denser than the area around the Lake of Life. It's truly unimaginable..."
"What exactly are those two hot springs? They actually emit two different ultimate ice and fire attributes. This is practically paradise for soul beasts with ultimate attributes!"
Zi Ji and Bi Ji were both stunned by the sight.
Even with their experience, they had never heard of such a miraculous place existing in the world.
Not only that, most of the medicinal herbs here were clearly extraordinary, yet they could only recognize a few common Heaven and Earth Treasures.
They had never even heard of those high-grade medicinal herbs that emitted rich fragrances and were obviously extremely old.
"This place is called the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. It can be considered paradise for plant-type soul beasts. Plant-type soul beasts grow ten times faster here than outside, and the chance of plants becoming plant-type soul beasts is far higher as well. When the opportunity arises, we can have the Myriad Demon King come guard this place."
Ye Feng explained slowly.
"No wonder even Young Master was tempted. I never imagined this treasure land could be so miraculous! If our soul beasts could occupy this place, plant-type soul beasts would certainly flourish!"
"The Myriad Demon King is indeed suited for this place. As long as it comes to guard it, it will bring tremendous benefits to our soul beast race in the future!"
Bi Ji and Zi Ji's eyes both shone brightly, and their beautiful eyes were filled with admiration as they looked at Ye Feng.
As expected of the Young Master. Not only was his bloodline powerful, but he also possessed such heaven-defying luck!
With such a Young Master, the soul beast race would surely rise to glory in the future!
"I don't know what suits you two. As Fierce Beasts, use your instincts to select the Heaven and Earth Treasures here. One plant each. Do not be greedy."
Ye Feng spoke calmly.
Immortal Herbs were rather mysterious. While there was naturally no issue with consuming multiple Immortal Herbs, one would need to bear immense karmic consequences. Those without great fortune could not withstand it.
Even Fierce Beasts could not endure it.
Only a Child of Fortune like Tang San could consume three Immortal Herbs—the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, the Infernal Delicate Apricot, and the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew—without suffering backlash.
Well, perhaps he had already received retribution, such as Xiao Wu's sacrifice...
It might have been inevitable, or perhaps it was simply the backlash from consuming too many Immortal Herbs.
However, Tang San and Xiao Wu possessed terrifying fortune to begin with, and Xiao Wu also carried the Lovesick Heartbreak Red. That was how they managed to endure it.
Ice and Fire Twin Dragons! Dragon Soul Body Tempering!
"As you command~"
Zi Ji giggled, clearly very happy. Even the way she looked at Ye Feng became somewhat seductive.
Bi Ji also smiled gently and began selecting medicinal herbs suitable for herself.
They did not recognize them, but as Ye Feng had said, soul beasts possessed keen instincts and could clearly sense which herbs would benefit them.
Seeing this, Ye Feng no longer paid them any attention and slowly walked to the side of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
He stood at the boundary between the two springs.
On his left was the Extreme Cold Spring, from which terrifying Extreme Ice radiated, freezing even the air.
On his right was the Blazing Sun Spring, boiling like lava and scorching everything.
Cold and heat constantly battered Ye Feng's body, yet they could not harm him in the slightest.
This was where the golden Trait Ye Feng had drawn at the very beginning, Elemental Affinity, came into play.
Although he had yet to awaken an elemental Soul Skill, this Trait gave him tremendous resistance to elemental damage. Combined with the strength of his body, tempered by his bloodline, there would be no problem even if he jumped directly into the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
Beside the Extreme Cold Spring grew a white, octagonal flower. Tiny stamens glittered like ice crystals at its center. It was the supremely cold Immortal Herb, the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass.
Beside the Blazing Sun Spring, meanwhile, grew a plant resembling cabbage, each one entirely fiery red. It was called the Infernal Delicate Apricot.
These two Immortal Herbs could be called the finest Immortal Herbs of Extreme Ice and Extreme Fire.
