Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well

"After possessing my Martial Soul, my eyes can see the meridians within the human body." Dai Weisi spouted nonsense with a completely serious face.

"Besides, if Senior could remove the poison from Miss Dugu Yan's body, you probably wouldn't have traveled all the way to the Star Luo Empire to find me, would you? You even specifically waited for me in the Imperial Palace for an entire week."

"Sigh, Brother Tian Xing really has a fine grandson! Not only are you exceptionally gifted, but you're also so clever."

Dugu Bo sighed emotionally, then nodded and admitted, "That's right. I came to the Star Luo Empire to find you because I wanted to ask whether you had any way to remove the poison from Yan Yan's body and mine. Although you may think I'm desperately grasping at straws, I have no other choice. I'm known as the Poison Douluo, with poison arts unmatched beneath the heavens, yet I have no solution for the poison within my own body. Yan Yan told me that you saw at a glance that he had been poisoned, so I wanted to ask whether there was any way to detoxify my granddaughter and me."

Of course Dai Weisi had a solution, but to avoid making Dugu Bo suspicious, he put on a solemn expression and asked, "If I am to treat Senior's poison, I must first know how Senior was poisoned. I can see that Senior and Miss Dugu Yan suffer from the same poison. Could this poison perhaps be inherited?"

Dugu Bo's eyes lit up at those words. For Dai Weisi to tell at a glance that the grandfather and granddaughter had been afflicted by the same poison, he could already be considered a physician.

"You're right. The poison in Yan Yan's body and mine is precisely Jade Phosphor Serpent Poison. This deadly poison originates from the Martial Soul itself. Any Soul Master who awakens the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul will have the poison slowly seep into their body. As a Soul Master grows stronger, the Jade Phosphor Serpent Poison becomes more potent, and the harm it causes grows greater. Given enough time, Jade Phosphorous Serpent Soul Masters will die. I can barely suppress the deadly poison in my body with Soul Power right now, but Yan Yan is still young. I fear that once the poison in her body erupts, she won't be able to suppress it on her own. That is why I came to find you, to ask whether you had any solution."

"Hmm..."

Dai Weisi deliberately hesitated, putting on a grave expression as he pondered. At the same time, he secretly observed Dugu Bo's expression. Only when the latter began to look impatient did he speak in a deep voice.

"In my opinion, Senior's poison is not impossible to cure."

Dugu Bo's eyes immediately shone. "Oh? How so?"

"Senior should know that every poison must have a way to counter it. The key lies in finding the right medicine. Furthermore, the poison affecting Senior originates from the Martial Soul itself. Ordinary herbs cannot detoxify it; we must find an Immortal Grade Herb!"

Sentence by sentence, Dai Weisi guided Dugu Bo toward the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. Only if Dugu Bo offered to take him there would he have an excuse to give the Venom Compression Torso Bone to him.

The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was far too well hidden. Dai Weisi only knew that it was within Sunset Forest; only Dugu Bo knew its exact location.

Therefore, Dai Weisi could not be the one to bring up the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. Dugu Bo had to raise it himself.

"Immortal Grade Herbs... How could it possibly be easy to find such legendary herbs? Is there no other way?" Dugu Bo shook his head helplessly.

Seeing that Dugu Bo still had not thought of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Dai Weisi could not help rolling his eyes. He could not easily let those Immortal Herbs, practically within his grasp, slip away!

As he considered how to guide Dugu Bo into taking him to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, an idea suddenly struck him. "Ordinary herbs aren't entirely impossible, but we would need to find a place capable of suppressing Senior's poison. The medicinal properties of ordinary herbs are ultimately too weak. Only in a place blessed by heaven and earth could they gradually detoxify Senior."

"A place capable of suppressing poison..." Dugu Bo's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly, "Kid, I do know of such a place. To be honest, I've also spent these years trying to remove the deadly poison from my body, but to no avail. Yet by a twist of fate, I found a place filled with violent spiritual energy of heaven and earth. It possesses two attributes, extreme cold and extreme heat; cold and heat intertwine, yin and yang coexist. With the spiritual energy there, I can suppress the deadly poison in my body. There are also many herbs there that I don't recognize. They look incredibly strange, but their toxicity is intense. Even I would not dare touch them carelessly."

Dai Weisi's eyes gleamed. "That's the place! With the spiritual energy of heaven and earth there, perhaps there is a way to remove Senior's deadly poison!"

Dai Weisi was utterly thrilled. Immortal Herbs! Immortal Herbs! This young master was finally here!

Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew, Infernal Delicate Apricot—little bastard, This Prince will gladly take your Immortal Herbs!

Without these Immortal Herbs, even if Tang San received the Asura God's favor, he could never pose a threat to him.

"Since that is the case, I ask that you accompany this old man on a trip there. Would you be willing?"

"Of course I am willing," Dai Weisi said with a smile. How could he miss Immortal Herbs delivered right to his door?

"I have some knowledge of herbs myself, and I would also like to see the strange and unusual medicinal herbs in Senior's possession."

"Good, then let's go. I just wonder whether your grandfather and grandmother will be willing to let you leave with me."

"Please rest assured, Senior. I'll explain the situation to them."

Sure enough, when Dugu Bo proposed taking Dai Weisi away, Dai Pojun and the others unanimously objected.

However, Dai Weisi pointed out that Dugu Bo was asking him for help, and that helping him would earn the friendship of the Poison Douluo. Should the Star Luo Empire encounter trouble in the future, he would certainly not stand by idly.

Dai Pojun found himself in a difficult position after hearing this. A favor from a Titled Douluo was simply too precious. After Dai Weisi relentlessly pleaded with him, Dai Pojun finally agreed to let him leave with Dugu Bo, on the condition that Dugu Bo guarantee his safety.

"Alright, Senior. I've convinced my elders. Let's go."

"Good. Time is of the essence, so we won't take a carriage!" As soon as he finished speaking, Dugu Bo grabbed Dai Weisi by the collar, rose into the air, and flew toward Sunset Forest.

Ten days later, an old man and a youth appeared above Sunset Forest and headed toward its center.

In less than an hour, the two arrived above the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, where a surge of violent spiritual energy rushed toward them.

The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well lay beneath a towering cliff, surrounded by mountains layered in lush green. It was a place rarely visited by people, so it was no wonder no one had discovered this Treasure Land for so many years.

Before the mountains drifted a dark green poisonous mist that looked exceedingly sinister. It was the Poison Array Dugu Bo had set up. Once someone entered the Poison Array, if they did not understand its toxicity, even a powerful Soul Master would surely die.

"This is my Herb Garden. Be careful—the spiritual energy here may hurt you."

"I understand!"

The old man and the youth were none other than Dugu Bo and Dai Weisi. To withstand the impact of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, Dai Weisi had already completed his Martial Soul Possession.

Once Dugu Bo brought him down, Dai Weisi officially arrived at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. Gazing at the spring that resembled a yin-yang hot pot, he was overcome with excitement.

On either side of the spring, he had already spotted two Immortal Grade Herbs of opposing cold and heat attributes: the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the Infernal Delicate Apricot!
