Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well

After sending Tang Yuehua back to the Clear Sky Sect, Di Hong returned to Sunset Forest at top speed, barely resting along the way.

By the time he arrived at Sunset Forest, night had already fallen.

As darkness descended, the entire Sunset Forest was shrouded in night. After finding an open patch of ground, Di Hong took a tent from his Soul Tool and set it up. Although he had given Tang Yuehua a Soul Tool, he did not use that one very often.

He had brought two Soul Tools, so it did not affect his ability to rest in the wilderness.

After pitching the tent and building a campfire, he sat alone and cultivated. However, after cultivating for a while, he stopped.

Sitting by the fire and occasionally adding more wood, his mind raced as he considered the location of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. When he had watched the anime in his previous life, Dugu Bo had lived on a mountain peak somewhere in Sunset Forest.

However, there were simply too many peaks in Sunset Forest. Searching them one by one would waste far too much time. Fortunately, he had his own advantage: he was extremely sensitive to fire elements. If a place had a dense concentration of fire elements, he could easily sense it.

The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well had the Yang Spring and the Yin Spring. The fire elements there were bound to be abundant, and there should also be a sulfurous smell nearby. As long as he followed those clues, he would not waste too much time.

After resting for the night, he set off the next day to begin searching through the forest.

He kept a very low profile during the search. Though he disturbed some spirit beasts, he mostly just drove them away. Unless he needed to obtain spirit rings, there was no reason to kill those spirit beasts. Indiscriminate slaughter would only make spirit beasts increasingly scarce.

Of course, he was not some blindly kind person. He simply did not want to invite unnecessary trouble. There were quite a few Ten Thousand Year Spirit Beasts in Sunset Forest. With his Soul Power Level in the fifties, he could handle them, but it would waste a great deal of time and leave him easily injured.

Now, he was alone. If he got injured, it could very well lead to major trouble.

All morning, he moved between the various mountain peaks in Sunset Forest. Since the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well had gone undiscovered for so long, it had to be hidden somewhere extremely secluded, perhaps so secluded that few people ever went there.

After searching for an entire day, he finally discovered a place in the afternoon where the fire elements were extraordinarily dense.

Standing atop a mountain peak roughly five hundred meters high, he looked down at the dense forest below. It was impossible to make out the situation beneath with the naked eye alone. Behind him lay a rugged mountain path, steep and difficult to traverse. It had not been carved out by people, but formed naturally.

"This should be the place."

While searching earlier, he had sensed dense fire elements around this area, their concentration even exceeding that of the volcano where he had cultivated before.

Thus, he could basically conclude that the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was nearby. Moreover, this place was extremely secluded; the mountain beneath his feet was not somewhere one could simply climb at will.

Most importantly, there was a cave behind him. If nothing unexpected happened, this cave should be the residence Dugu Bo would use in the future. For now, though, it was merely a cave, containing nothing else—much less all those herbs.

He turned and headed up the mountain. Though the path was rugged, it posed no obstacle to him. The steep peak could not stop him.

The farther up he went, the more herbs he could see. They were merely ordinary herbs, but they grew remarkably well, and their medicinal properties were stronger than herbs from other places.

After casually examining them, Di Hong had not been completely certain before, but now it seemed the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was definitely here.

Sure enough, before long, he caught the scent of sulfur.

This thrilled him greatly, and his pace quickened considerably.

Upon reaching the summit, he immediately spotted a hollow in the mountain. Towering trees grew all around it, so Di Hong used Martial Soul Possession and flew into the air to observe.

"As expected."

The trees blocked the view below. Even from the air, it was impossible to see what lay beneath. Still, this place was not quite so hidden, except that a thick mist obscured everything below.

Looking at the mist beneath him, Di Hong was so excited that he burst into laughter.

"Ha ha ha ha ha!"

"I finally found it."

"The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well."

At this moment, he could hardly wait any longer as he entered the valley.

A small hot spring came into view. Its pool was divided into two halves: one milky white and the other vermilion red, like a yin-yang hot pot. Steam billowed continuously from the spring.

All manner of herbs grew densely around it.

Looking at the hot spring before him, Di Hong's entire body trembled faintly with excitement.

"One spring gives rise to each other; the two forces oppose each other."

Feeling the incomparably dense fire elements in the air, he knew this place was deadly for others, but for him, it was an excellent cultivation ground. However, it also contained extremely frigid elements, which would not benefit his cultivation.

To be safe, he covered his entire body in Li Fire before walking to the edge of the hot spring.

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, he stared intently at the spring before him.

When browsing the internet in his previous life, he had learned that the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well had formed after the Water Dragon King and the Fire Dragon King fell from the God Realm, their bodies crashing down here. In other words, the remains of the two Dragon Kings lay beneath this hot spring.

He had never read the novel, only watched the anime and part of the manga. Even so, he knew perfectly well that the bones left behind by fallen divine dragons were valuable treasures. Perhaps they could be used for Artifact Refining.

With his Vermilion Bird Li Fire to temper them, he believed that weapons forged from dragon bones would certainly not be inferior to Divine Artifacts.

However, he did not dare go down there yet. Entering the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well now would be nothing but seeking death.

Looking around, he indeed spotted many Immortal Grade Herbs. After six years of study combined with the memories of his previous life, he could more or less identify the effects of the herbs here.

Every plant in this place was a precious rarity, some even peerless treasures.

"Ah, this is the advantage of transmigrating early. No one is here to fight me for it, and I won't have to bear the reputation of a bandit."

Now that he had discovered the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well first, it naturally belonged to him. An ownerless place belonged to whoever found it first.

As for Dugu Bo, Di Hong did not know him. Since transmigrating here, he had not even met the man.

Not far from the milky white spring, he saw something resembling a little insect.

"So this is a Snow Silkworm—the finest among cordyceps."

There was more than one Snow Silkworm—there was a whole small patch. He also recognized the plant beside them: Cinnabar Lotus.

The more he looked, the more excited he became. There were simply too many heavenly treasures here: Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, Eight Petal Immortal Orchid, Nine-Rank Purple Ganoderma—he had even found Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower.

Of all of them, the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower was undoubtedly the most suitable for him, yet he had no intention of taking it himself.

First, his talent meant he had no need for it. Second, he wanted Di Yuan to take it and see whether it could help him advance further. If Di Yuan consumed the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower, he might have a chance to break through to become a Titled Douluo. Third, his Vermilion Bird Martial Soul and flames were already exceptionally pure, so there was no need for him to consume such things.

The medicinal herbs surrounding the hot spring left him dazzled.
