A few dozen seconds after swallowing the pill, Dugu Bo felt a wave of warmth spread through him.
He knew it was the pill taking effect. After glancing at Su Mu and receiving an affirming look, he hesitated no longer. He immediately circulated his Soul Power to aid in absorbing the medicinal energy.
Moments later, driven by his Soul Power, the pill's effects had reached every meridian and limb in his body.
The next second, a piercing pain shot through his body.
Dugu Bo's body began trembling uncontrollably.
After several breaths, Dugu Bo let out a muffled groan, and his Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor Martial Soul appeared behind him.
The enormous green serpent head flicked its tongue and let out hissing cries.
Dugu Bo had suffered backlash from cultivating Poison Arts, which was why he had been poisoned. The root of that poison lay in his Martial Soul.
Therefore, to detoxify him, the root cause had to be removed. Otherwise, even if the poison in his body was cleared, he would still be poisoned again as long as he continued cultivating.
Looking closely, one could see that the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor Martial Soul was changing as well.
A pale white energy was flowing across the serpent's originally green body.
He clenched his teeth tightly, enduring the excruciating pain that seeped into his bones.
About the time it took for an incense stick to burn.
Dugu Bo's condition gradually stabilized, and the huge green serpent vanished.
He spat out a mouthful of purple-black blood.
Then.
Dugu Bo opened his eyes.
A hint of joy appeared in his gaze. For all these years, he had used the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes to suppress the poison, but the results had been mediocre.
He had never expected such a tiny pill to completely suppress the deadly poison within his body.
The methods of the Myriad Realms Auction Pavilion truly were extraordinary, beyond the comprehension of mortals like us.
At that moment.
Dugu Bo was overwhelmed with excitement.
Though Dugu Bo was already seventy-eight years old, his hands had been stained with the blood of countless enemies throughout his life. Having been deeply poisoned for so many years, he understood his own body well.
He had long taken life and death lightly. Even if the poison were to flare up one day and kill him, he would not have many regrets.
But if there was a chance to live, naturally, he would not give it up so easily.
He had dug up so much Spirit Medicine because his greatest wish was to bid for another Heaven Restoring Pill at the Auction Pavilion and cure his poison.
Now, the Spirit Medicine was still lying in his Hundred Treasure Pouch, yet the poison had already been completely suppressed.
Moreover, Pavilion Master Su Mu had promised to cure him in a year.
Escaping disaster and gaining fortune—his luck had truly turned around.
When Dugu Bo looked at Su Mu again, the shock in his eyes had turned into admiration.
With a respectful expression, he said, "Pavilion Master Su Mu, thank you for your generosity. What do you need me to do?"
Su Mu recalled the evaluation of Dugu Bo: neither wholly righteous nor wholly evil, always acting according to his own preferences, yet faithful to his promises. Once he agreed to something, he would certainly fulfill it.
Thus, he said, "Very simple. Help me guard the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes."
"The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes?" It was Dugu Bo's first time hearing this name, and he was somewhat puzzled. Only after looking in the direction Su Mu pointed did he roughly understand.
So this spring was called the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes.
After Dugu Bo nodded, Su Mu continued, "Especially these immortal herbs beside the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes. You must protect them well and not allow anyone to approach."
"Please rest assured, Pavilion Master. Unless they step over my corpse, I will never allow the immortal herbs to be destroyed."
Seeing Dugu Bo's solemn expression, Su Mu found it rather amusing.
It just did not seem to suit Dugu Bo. Then he tossed several return scrolls over. "These are voice transmission scrolls. Once you infuse them with Soul Power, you can instantly send me a message."
"Remember, if you encounter an enemy you cannot resist, use the voice transmission scroll. I will come to your rescue."
Su Mu then gave him a few more instructions. He believed that unless Dugu Bo was an idiot, he would surely cling tightly to the Myriad Realms Auction Pavilion and serve it wholeheartedly.
After explaining everything, Su Mu's eyes burned as he walked step by step toward the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes. How could he possibly miss such a treasured land?
Before him lay a circular pool roughly three meters in radius. The spring was one source with twin wells, the two forces mutually opposed. The water on one side was freezing to the bone, while the water on the other side was like boiling soup.
Red and blue intertwined, mutually generating and restraining each other, clearly divided like a taiji diagram.
It was clearly no ordinary object. This was not only Tang San's opportunity; after he founded the Tang Sect, the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes also became a place of training for later generations of the Tang Sect, where they discovered many opportunities.
A spring capable of nurturing immortal herbs was a place where the essence of heaven and earth converged. The spiritual energy contained within was naturally terrifying beyond measure.
While such a treasured land nurtured living things, it also had an extremely peculiar effect on the human body.
Once humans or animals lived beside the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes, their bodies would soon be struck by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth carrying two extreme attributes. If they failed to leave in time, they would inevitably explode and die.
Even in the original story, Tang San had only achieved a body immune to ice and fire and impervious to all poisons after consuming the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the Infernal Delicate Apricot.
Su Mu could only sigh. Tang San had the nerve to mock Dugu Bo?
Wasn't he also sitting on a mountain of treasure without realizing it?
The greatest opportunity in this spring was not the immortal herbs, but the spring itself.
Namely, the remains of the Water Dragon King and Fire Dragon King.
With a casual flick, a golden card exploded into brilliant motes of light that merged into Su Mu's body.
At the same time, Su Mu's Soul Power Level began rising at a terrifying rate.
Level 30, Level 40...
Level 90.
Not far away, Dugu Bo watched as Su Mu's aura suddenly surged explosively, but he was not overly surprised.
Although Su Mu had previously seemed to be only around Level 20 in his perception.
Having attended the auction, unless he was an idiot.
How could he possibly believe that the all-powerful Pavilion Master Su Mu possessed only a Level 20 Soul Power Level?
It had to be because he was too weak to sense the Pavilion Master's formidable strength!
Now that Pavilion Master Su Mu was no longer suppressing himself, his terrifying Soul Power finally spilled forth.
That power continued to rise until it finally stopped at Level 99.
"Is this where it stops?"
Feeling the changes in his body, Su Mu sighed at the power brought by the Level 99 Soul Power Level experience card he had obtained from the lottery.
Compared to the omnipotent, invincible feeling he had within the Myriad Realms Auction Pavilion, it was still far too lacking.
But it was enough.
Then, Su Mu unleashed the Creator Domain.
One had to know that the Creator Domain was a terrifying domain capable of altering even space and time. Of course, when Su Mu was only Level 20, the effects he could produce were rather limited.
But after using the Level 99 experience card, things were different.
Within the domain, Su Mu was almost like a Creator.
He could completely isolate the two tyrannical, mutually generating and restraining energies within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes.
That way, he could dive into it and obtain the greatest opportunity!
