Feeling the oppressive aura of Mighty Lion Douluo, how could Dugu Bo not realize that the powerful figure before him was one of the old monsters who remained secluded within the Worship Hall?
"I never expected Spirit Hall's foundations to be this formidable." Cold sweat streamed down Dugu Bo's cheeks. "Damn it, this old man has fallen today."
The Six-Level Soul Power Gap had already made Dugu Bo abandon any thought of resistance. After a long sigh, he chose to admit defeat.
"Dugu Bo, a wise man submits to the times." Mighty Lion Douluo smiled. "As for that little matter between you and Little Chrysanthemum, this old man will settle it for you. Since you will both be part of Spirit Hall from now on, simply consider your grievances cleared."
"Senior Dugu, to be honest, my grandfather and I came here because of my martial soul's guidance." Su He stepped forward and cupped his fists, pointing toward the medicine garden. "There is something in that direction that I desperately need."
"That is my medicine garden," Dugu Bo said. "But many poisonous grasses are mixed among the herbs there, so even I do not dare consume them carelessly."
"Then I ask Senior Dugu to take me there for a look." Su He smiled.
After climbing some distance toward the mountaintop, Su He beheld the astonishing sight before him.
"It really is the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well!" The excitement on Su He's face was impossible to conceal.
Before them was a hot spring divided into red and blue. The red spring on the left radiated scorching heat, while the blue spring on the right swirled with freezing cold air.
Clearly, they had arrived at the Feng Shui Treasure Land mentioned in the Original Work—the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well! Just thinking of receiving the aid of immortal herbs made Su He incomparably excited. Worthy of being one of the Three Great Treasure Basins, it truly was extraordinary!
The so-called treasure basins described at length in the Original Work naturally did not refer to gold and silver, but treasure basins for medicinal herbs. They were three special natural environments. Ordinary plants simply could not grow within the Three Great Treasure Basins because they could not adapt to their unusual climates. Yet these basins were the breeding grounds of all rare plants. Moreover, they shortened the growth period of such precious plants by tenfold. Simply put, if a lingzhi grew for ten years in any one of the Three Great Treasure Basins, it would possess the effects of a hundred-year lingzhi.
The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well—one spring, twin births; two polarities mutually restraining. A treasure land that might not form even in a thousand years, ten thousand years! Dugu Bo truly had Good Fortune.
The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well did not merely nurture living things; it also had extremely special effects on the human body. Once a human or animal lived beside it, their body would soon be assaulted by the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy of two extreme attributes. If they could not leave in time, they would certainly suffer death by exploding body. But for someone like Dugu Bo, who was full of deadly poison, it brought immense benefits.
"This is my medicine nursery." Dugu Bo said, "If there is nothing else, I will take my leave first." His mood was far from pleasant. Forced to join Spirit Hall under the Threat to Life, Dugu Bo felt deeply stifled.
"Senior Dugu, please wait!" Su He called after him. "This place is truly a Feng Shui Treasure Land seen only once in a thousand years. I know a little about pharmacological knowledge. With the aid of this place, this junior may be able to think of a way to deal with the poison in your body."
Upon hearing Su He's words, both Mighty Lion Douluo and Dugu Bo looked at him in astonishment. The former was surprised that his grandson was so knowledgeable and versatile, while the latter was stunned that a child had seen through his Chronic Ailment of Many Years.
"Whenever it is overcast and rainy, do you experience numbness and itching beneath both ribs, which gradually intensifies? It occurs once each at Noon and Midnight. Given your current condition, each episode should last for more than one shichen. Also, every deep night, around the Third Watch of the Night, you feel Stabbing Pain Like Needles on the crown of your head and the soles of your feet. Full-body convulsions follow for at least half a shichen. Is that correct, Senior Dugu?" Su He asked.
"Spirit Hall's ancient records contain accounts of the symptoms when Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison flares up. And I am willing to try my best to help Senior Dugu and your descendants determine whether the Harm of Snake Venom can be eliminated."
"Is what you say true?" Dugu Bo was extremely agitated. Clearly, every symptom Su He had just described was correct.
"If you truly cure the poison of my Jade Phosphorous Serpent, this old man is willing to serve Spirit Hall to the death!"
"Grandfather, Senior, please wait outside for me." Smiling, Su He walked into the medicine nursery.
"Ding. Detected that the host has entered a Hidden Treasure Land. Hidden Quest 3 has been completed. Reward now distributed: Hundred Solutions to Medicine *1."
At that moment, the system delivered a Divine Assist. In an instant, vast amounts of medicinal knowledge became memorized thoroughly in Su He's mind, and wild joy immediately surged in his heart.
"Nine-Rank Purple Ganoderma, Snow Silkworm, Cinnabar Lotus..." Su He recited the names of these Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures one by one, until the plants in the central area finally drew his attention.
"Nine-Rank Dragon Ganoderma, Aromatic Silk Beauty, Aromatic Silk Beauty, Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower, Narcissus Jade Bone—this is! Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum!" Su He stored these immortal-grade herbs into his Soul Tool one by one. Having found the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum he sought, he was overjoyed.
"Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew is here too." Su He spotted the herb Tang San had consumed in the Original Work and decisively put it away.
After collecting more than a dozen immortal herbs in succession, he began searching for the two Deadly Immortal Grades needed to refine the Ice and Fire Golden Body.
At last, Su He stopped before a white herb. The top of the white herb resembled a Large White Flower, octagonal in shape, its center sparkling with tiny stamens like ice crystal. It emitted no fragrance whatsoever. Its location was precisely at the central point on the side of the Extreme Cold Yin Spring—Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass!
According to the description in the Hundred Solutions to Medicine, wherever Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass appeared, Infernal Delicate Apricot would certainly be nearby. These two immortal grades mutually generated and restrained each other, and both were extremely deadly.
Sure enough, Su He discovered Infernal Delicate Apricot at the center of the Scorching Spring!
Without further hesitation, Su He immediately activated his Indestructible Golden Body, put on the Geng Metal Gloves he had specifically brought with him, and quickly cut down the two immortal grades in succession. Feeling the Burning and Freezing Sensation in his hands, Su He did not hesitate any longer.
After allowing their qi to intersect, and feeling the discomfort vanish, Su He immediately stuffed the two Deadly Immortal Grades into his mouth and swallowed them in large bites.
Though the two immortal grades were poisonous, once restrained by their natural enemies, they had lost their former overbearing nature. They melted in the mouth, turning into saliva as he swallowed them. Su He only felt saliva flowing under tongue, with fragrance overflowing everywhere.
Feeling the explosive energy within his body, Su He immediately chose to leap into the intersection point of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. A few ripples spread across the spring's surface before it eventually returned to stillness...
