Dugu Bo smiled faintly at his words and said with a hint of pride, "The Poison Mist outside was entirely set up by me. It contains many different poisons and is lethal to any person or soul beast.

These poisons would probably only harm some Ten Thousand Year Soul Beasts. If they encountered a powerful, unusual Ten Thousand Year Soul Beast, they would be useless.

Moreover, the toxicity of this Poison Mist is not very high. In order to make it last for a long time, I had to sacrifice some of its potency."

After hearing Dugu Bo's words, Li Tianlan understood the reasoning behind it.

Dugu Yan looked at her grandfather in shock and thought to herself, Grandpa has always been indifferent toward everyone. Ever since I was little, aside from me, he has never cared much about anyone else, no matter who they were.

But Dugu Yan said nothing. She simply followed silently behind her grandfather as they headed deeper inside.

Before long, the three of them arrived at a basin. At its center stood a massive spring, yet one half of the water was crimson like fire, while the other was icy blue like the sea.

At that moment, Xiao Yan shouted excitedly within Li Tianlan's Sea of Consciousness, "Tianlan! Tianlan! Do you see those herbs below? Think of every possible way to get your hands on them! Even if it's only a portion, you must get them!"

Li Tianlan was immediately startled by Xiao Yan's reaction. Ever since he had begun spending time with Xiao Yan, he had never seen him this excited. Not even that powerful flame energy from before had made him so thrilled.

"What's going on, Teacher? What is this place?"

Xiao Yan calmed himself within the Sea of Consciousness and said, "This is the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. It seizes the fortune of heaven and earth; one spring gives birth to twins, and the two forces restrain each other. The spiritual herbs within cannot be compared to any flame. Some of the things here surpass the value of a Heavenly Flame by far, to an extent you cannot imagine.

Back when I dominated the Dou Qi Continent, I searched the entire continent and only found a tiny, tiny embryonic form of one.

Yet this world actually has such an enormous Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. I just took a quick look, and the spiritual herbs inside are basically all mature and ready to be used. For an Alchemist, this place is simply heaven."

After listening to Xiao Yan's explanation, Li Tianlan understood the importance of this place, as well as the value of those herbs.

Perhaps he could use the herbs here to raise his Soul Power Level and even unlock one of the 108 Heavenly Flames.

Moreover, the herbs below were all completely intact. This Poison Douluo probably did not know what these spiritual herbs were used for, which meant Li Tianlan had an even better chance of obtaining them.

Seeing the astonishment in Li Tianlan's eyes, Dugu Bo said smugly, "Kid, what do you think of my cultivation grounds? The concentration of Heaven and Earth Vital Energy here is more than double that outside, and it has been steadily increasing. It will soon reach three times as much."

Li Tianlan stared intently at the spiritual herbs below. "Your Excellency, your cultivation grounds are indeed excellent. Cultivating here would yield twice the results with half the effort. What are those spiritual herbs below? Do you know?"

Naturally, Li Tianlan would not directly tell Dugu Bo what the herbs were for. Instead, he probed indirectly.

"You mean those spiritual herbs? There are only a handful that I recognize. And across the entire continent, there are only a handful of people who understand spiritual herbs better than I do. For now, I do not know what those things are used for."

Dugu Yan also spoke up from the side. "That's right. I've seen those herbs ever since I was little, and they don't seem useful at all. They're not even as good as buying a radish to eat."

Hearing Dugu Bo and his granddaughter, Li Tianlan and Xiao Yan could barely hold back their laughter. They thought, Such unparalleled spiritual herbs, along with the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, were actually being called useless—worse than a radish.

Even all the radishes across the entire Douluo Continent combined were probably not worth half as much as this place.

Besides, who would compare spiritual herbs to radishes? Probably only those two.

Dugu Bo brought the two children flying down into the basin, right beside the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

Not far from Li Tianlan, about five meters away, stood a spiritual herb.

Xiao Yan said excitedly in the Sea of Consciousness, "Tianlan, look at that plant in front of you. It looks like a cabbage, but its entire body is fiery red. That is the Infernal Delicate Apricot, a top-grade, highly poisonous immortal herb with fire poison. If you consume it together with the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, you will become immune to both water and fire in the future."

Upon hearing this, Li Tianlan stared at the spiritual herb ahead, his eyes immediately reddening with desire. Naturally, Dugu Bo noticed his unusual reaction.

"Kid, do you want those spiritual herbs? It's not that I'm looking down on you, but even if I gave them to you, there would be nothing you could do with them."

Li Tianlan looked confidently at Dugu Bo and said firmly, "Your Excellency Dugu, as long as you give them to me, I will have my own use for them."

"Don't call me 'Your Excellency' anymore. You saved Yan Yan's life. If you don't mind, you can call me Grandpa Dugu."

Dugu Bo looked at the determined young man before him. Such determination and confidence did not seem like something someone his age should possess, and Dugu Bo found it deeply puzzling.

"Alright, Grandpa Dugu."

"Do you really want these spiritual herbs?" Dugu Bo was full of doubt, because he did not believe anyone understood these herbs better than he did.

"Mhm." Li Tianlan nodded firmly.

"Very well. When you use these spiritual herbs, you must be careful. Some of the herbs here are incredibly poisonous; even I have to keep my distance from them. If you regret this choice, I am willing to hunt a Soul Ring for you as payment for saving Yan Yan's life."

Hearing this, Li Tianlan's respect for this Titled Douluo increased somewhat. He had no airs about him.

"Mhm, thank you, Grandpa Dugu."

A brilliant smile, one fitting for his age, appeared on Li Tianlan's face.

How could he possibly regret it? If he fully uncovered the value of these spiritual herbs, buying the entire Heaven Dou Empire would be effortless!

Afterward, Dugu Bo gave Li Tianlan a few more instructions before taking Dugu Yan and flying out. It seemed that he intended to find out who exactly had been pursuing Dugu Yan.

As her grandfather, he had cherished his granddaughter since childhood, afraid she would be cold if he held her in his hands and afraid she would melt if he held her in his mouth. Now that someone had hunted her down, he naturally intended to make them pay the price.

Watching the two leave, Li Tianlan said silently in his heart, Teacher, should we help them remove the poison in their bodies? I think they're good people.

Xiao Yan pondered for a moment within the Sea of Consciousness before readily agreeing. However, all of his attention was currently fixed on the rare spiritual herbs spread across the mountains and fields.
