Journey to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well

Oscar had originally planned to tell Dugu Bo this method, so when Dugu Bo took the initiative to ask again, Oscar told him.

"This method is difficult in one sense, but quite simple in another." Oscar looked at Dugu Bo and said slowly, "Senior, you should know something about venomous snakes, right?"

Dugu Bo was slightly taken aback, but he still could not figure out the connection between the two. In the end, helplessly, he could only nod and continue listening to Oscar.

Oscar did not keep him in suspense and continued, "Since Your Excellency's martial soul is the Jade Scale Snake, why can't you imitate a venomous snake? Though you do not possess a snake's venom sac, we soul masters have one advantage over soul beasts: we can absorb Spirit Bones to increase our strength."

"If Your Excellency can treat a Spirit Bone as a venom sac and channel all the poison within your body into it, then even if this method cannot detoxify you, I believe it should greatly ease the pain suffered by you and my sister."

Upon hearing this answer, Dugu Bo first pondered it carefully for a moment. Then his face gradually flushed red—not for any other reason, but from excitement and agitation.

"Not bad! Not bad! How had I never thought of such a method? Perhaps... perhaps this is a way forward for my Jade Scale Snake!" Dugu Bo began muttering to himself, excited and thrilled.

After a long while, a sharp gleam flashed in Dugu Bo's eyes. "Xiao Ao, I will personally test your method. If it truly works, you can come to this old man whenever you face any difficulties in the future."

As Dugu Bo spoke, he could not help silently cursing himself for being too foolish. Why had he never thought of such a simple method? This was not entirely Dugu Bo's fault. Soul masters on the Douluo Continent generally cultivated step by step according to established practice, let alone turning their attention toward Spirit Bones.

Now that he had heard Oscar's method, Dugu Bo felt that it was absolutely feasible.

Moreover, Dugu Bo's suspicions toward Oscar had now completely vanished. Oscar had already gone this far; doubting him any further would truly be unnecessary.

Dugu Bo also began to wonder whether this boy had taken a fancy to his granddaughter. Why else would someone with no ties to them help him so much? Of course, Dugu Bo knew that Oscar might wish to attach himself to a Titled Douluo like him. Oscar had even explained earlier that he simply could not bear to see Dugu Yan suffer so much.

But they had only met by chance. Although Oscar was only eleven years old, after spending the past several hours with him, Dugu Bo was certain that Oscar was by no means a fool.

Thus, Dugu Bo felt that Oscar must have some ulterior motive, and the most likely reason was his granddaughter.

It was also then that Dugu Bo came back to his senses. At some point, Oscar's way of addressing Dugu Yan seemed to have changed.

Oscar, however, did not know what Dugu Bo was thinking. He merely reminded him, "Your Excellency, as a Titled Douluo, you should understand the importance of Spirit Bones. So if possible, I hope you will do your best to help my sister find a Spirit Bone suited to her."

Oscar gave this reminder because he feared that Dugu Bo might hastily find Dugu Yan just any Spirit Bone in order to ease her suffering sooner. Though that was unlikely, Oscar also knew how rare Spirit Bones were.

Even for Dugu Bo, a Titled Douluo, obtaining a Spirit Bone of decent quality that was also suitable for Dugu Yan would not necessarily be an easy matter.

As for why Oscar cared so much about Dugu Yan, it was naturally because he had some thoughts of his own.

In Oscar's view, if possible, he was willing to be with Dugu Yan. Her own qualities were not bad, and she also came with Dugu Bo, a devastating weapon in team battles, and the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

Though they had only just met, Oscar felt that he should have a chance.

And since he had made up his mind, Oscar naturally had to steer everything in a better direction. Only then could they ultimately have a better outcome.

After hearing Oscar's words, Dugu Bo nodded. "I understand. I will find Yan Yan a suitable Ten Thousand Year Spirit Bone as soon as possible."

As Dugu Bo spoke, a shadowy glint flashed through his eyes. The resolve and coldness in his gaze clearly showed that Dugu Bo had already set his sights on something.

Having obtained the answer he wanted, Dugu Bo could not help conducting an experiment on the spot. After all, there were still around two hours until dawn.

Though Dugu Bo could not directly obtain results in just two hours, he could feel the feasibility of the method. By dawn, The Whole Person seemed far more energized.

This was the first time in over ten years that he had been so happy. The last time he had been this delighted was when he broke through to Level 90.

Having achieved a satisfying result, Dugu Bo wanted an even more perfect solution. Thus, as soon as dawn broke, he led Oscar and the others toward his Medicine Garden.

In Dugu Bo's view, though he himself did not recognize the herbs in his Medicine Garden, given the special nature of that place, there should be something among the many medicinal herbs that Oscar could use.

As long as even one herb proved useful, it would show that the place could be cultivated. If that was the case, then with the special qualities of that location, Dugu Bo was confident that he could grow the medicinal herbs they needed himself.

That was Dugu Bo's main purpose. Of course, it would interrupt Oscar along the way, but Dugu Bo believed Oscar would not refuse. After all, he was a Titled Douluo.

Furthermore, Dugu Bo rather appreciated Oscar. If Oscar became his granddaughter's husband, Dugu Bo would be willing to accept it.

After all, Oscar was the first friend Dugu Yan had been able to truly open up to in fifteen years. Though the two had not known each other for long, it was precisely because of this that Dugu Bo felt Oscar could get along with Dugu Yan.

Dugu Bo led Oscar and the others onward at high speed. In less than half a day, they arrived before a poison formation deep within Sunset Forest.

Dugu Bo stopped before the poison formation and specifically explained that, in order to protect his Medicine Garden, he had used his deadly poison to surround the nearby hills.

The poison formations were powerful enough to stop any soul master below the rank of Titled Douluo. Even a Soul Douluo as strong as Gai Yue would turn into a puddle of pus if he remained within the formation for more than a quarter of an hour. This was Dugu Bo's terror.

However, with Dugu Bo leading the way, they did not need to worry about being harmed by the poison formation.

Following Dugu Bo into the poison formation and passing through a dense forest, the group arrived atop a hill around five hundred meters high in the forest. Following closely behind Dugu Bo, they soon reached its summit.

Upon arriving there, Shao Xin and Gai Yue could not help being startled by the terrain before them.

Before them was actually an inverted cone-shaped valley. The mountaintop where they stood formed the edge of the valley, while thick heat rose from within it. The steam was extremely moist and carried a somewhat unusual scent.

It was their first time experiencing such a feeling. In truth, it was Oscar's first time as well, but he already knew what it was and did not react like the other two.

Yet Oscar was even more excited. To make his act more convincing, he suddenly asked, "Is there a Hot Spring here?"

Dugu Bo glanced at him. "You know quite a lot."

Oscar replied, "Surely I can recognize the smell of a Hot Spring. Is your Medicine Garden by the edge of the Hot Spring? That is quite a good place."
