Icefire Yin Yang Well

Hearing Dugu Bo's explanation, Wu Qi couldn't help but ask, "You seem quite dissatisfied with Prince Xue Xing?"

Dugu Bo gave a bitter smile. "I'm the kind of person who doesn't like owing favors."

"Prince Xue Xing saved my life, and I have to repay that debt. However, that fellow takes advantage of this favor and acts arrogantly towards me. If it weren't for the sake of providing Yan Yan with a safe environment to grow up in, why would I bother with him so easily!"

Wu Qi smiled faintly, "What if I could let you repay this favor at a very low cost?"

Dugu Bo chuckled dryly, "This favor originated from the Spirit Hall. If what you say is true, I will no longer oppose the Spirit Hall."

Changing his tone, he looked at Wu Qi, "With your Talent, you're destined to be Peak Powerhouse on the continent, and becoming Limit Douluo isn't impossible. In the Spirit Hall, at best you're just an honorific; are you willing to be subservient to someone else?"

"You've cured me of the poison. If you're willing, why not establish your own power base?"

Wu Qi had this idea and was trying to take the first step.

Winning over Huo Wushuang and his sister was the first step; their family background was his main objective.

The Huo Family is an old noble family in the Heaven Dou Empire, but they have long lost power in the Imperial Court. Their only attachment to the Heaven Dou Empire is probably the fiefdom they received from their ancestors.

These kinds of families are extremely easy to win over if the benefits are sufficient!

In the future, the power of the Spirit Hall will inevitably fall into Bibi Dong's hands, and the influence of the Worship Hall will not be enough to contend with it.

If he were to establish a powerful force and then unite with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, he might be able to challenge Bibi Dong.

Wu Qi countered, "Senior Dugu, are you planning to join my faction?"

Dugu Bo did not answer, but emphasized, "I will only seriously consider all of this after you have fulfilled your two promised requests."

"If you want me to board your ship, you'll have to show me what you've got."

Unbeknownst to them, the two arrived at the foot of a mountain shrouded in Poison Mist.

With a god-like perspective, Wu Qi knew that this was the location of the Icefire Yin Yang Well.

Dugu Bo handed him an Poison Pill, which he immediately swallowed.

This behavior surprised Dugu Bo. "Aren't you afraid that what I gave you is poison?"

Wu Qi remained calm and composed, replying, "With your strength, crushing me is no different than crushing an ant. If you really want to fight, why beat around the bush?"

Dugu Bo remained silent.

His temperament and Talent are both superb; it's a pity I didn't meet him sooner. If I had taken him as my disciple, it would have been a wonderful story.

Wu Qi's Martial Soul is the Azure Luan, and it comes from the Worship Hall, so it's obvious that he already has Master.

Dugu Bo wouldn't make a fool of himself.

Upon reaching the top of the mountain, he led the two to fly to the summit and jump into the hole at the top.

As they plummeted, a mixture of hot and cold air rose continuously from the soles of their feet.

After passing through the narrow passage, the interior of the mountain is laid out before you.

This is a sea of plants, with flowers and grasses vying for attention, creating a scene of idyllic paradise.

In the middle, there is a spring formed by the interweaving of blue and red Spring Water, from which icy and scorching breaths constantly emerge, its immense energy inspiring awe and keeping one at a distance.

Before long, the two landed at a Wooden House on the edge of the area.

Dugu Bo said, "This is my Herb Garden, but there are many herbs here that I do not recognize, and there may be some that are highly poisonous. Remember not to go near them."

"I can only enter the Spring Water in the middle and stay there for a very short time. For your safety, you must not approach it lightly."

Wu Qi agreed to each of them.

He had already recognized quite a few Immortal Herb from the air.

Next, once Dugu Bo agreed, he went to pick the fruit.

In the early stages of the Soul Master's journey, consuming Immortal Herb is extremely helpful, and can even allow Ordinary Person with mediocre Talent to defy fate.

Upon entering the Wooden House, the interior was very simply furnished, containing only a desk, a chair, and a bed.

"Tell me, how do you plan to cure me of the poison?"

Dugu Bo sat on the bed and casually gestured for Wu Qi to sit in a chair.

After taking his seat, Wu Qi pondered for a moment and said, "Since you are unwilling to dispel the poison technique, I have two methods for your consideration."

Firstly, it was the method Tang San used in the Original Space-Time to force excess toxins into his Soul Bone.

"However, Soul Bone have a capacity limit. If you feel that your current cultivation level has reached its limit, two or three Soul Bone are enough to contain the toxins. Conversely, even if your entire body is filled with Soul Bone, it may not be able to contain all the toxins."

No one knows what problems will arise when the Soul Bone reaches its maximum capacity; it can only be considered a conservative treatment.

Dugu Bo certainly wasn't willing to stop there.

Whether he's exaggerating or not, according to his own account, his Innate Soul Power has reached level nine, and level ninety-one is definitely not his limit.

If he hadn't been delayed by the poison for so many years, he would probably be Super Douluo by now.

Wu Qi, unsure of the veracity of his claim, immediately offered a second method.

"Toxins are Talent ability of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul. You just haven't found a way to 'collect' excess toxins, causing them to run rampant in your body and eventually leading to a terminal illness."

"The second method depends on yourself. You need to condense the toxins in your body into a pill, similar to your Inner Core, which you can then use toxins at any time."

Snake-type Martial Soul souls are born with the ability to condense Inner Core. This method might be minimally costly for Dugu Yan, but it is far too dangerous for Dugu Bo.

His meridians have been ravaged by toxins for years and are extremely fragile. If he fails to extract a large amount of toxins and condense them into Inner Core in a short period of time, he will surely explode and die.

Does this mean that the first method is the only option for him?

Dugu Bo was unwilling to accept this. As Titled Douluo, how could he be willing to stop his progress? Not to mention, he was now "reputed" to be the weakest Titled Douluo on the continent.

If he cannot remove this label, it will follow him for the rest of his life!

Perhaps sensing his reluctance, Wu Qi smiled and said, "You definitely can't condense the Poison Pill on your own. But with the help of medicinal herbs, the success rate will greatly increase."

Dugu Bo's eyes lit up.

He also has herbs all over the ground; how could he not find a solution!

"You may use the medicinal herbs here as you see fit. As long as you help me detoxify, you can have any extra herbs."

That's exactly what I was waiting for.

Wu Qi then specifically asked, "If I recognize any of those medicinal herbs you don't recognize, may I take them?"

Dugu Bo waved his hand casually and said, "Once I'm cured of the poison, I'll give you this land!"

"Don't just stand there, get back to work. I'm waiting for your good news."

Wu Qi smiled and agreed.

Once outside the Wooden House, he "roamed" amidst a sea of flowers.

Most of the medicinal herbs planted by Dugu Bo are currently in the flowering stage, but with the blessing of the Spiritual Energy of the Icefire Yin Yang Well, the maturation time of the herbs will be greatly shortened.

Based on the herbal medicine Illustrated Guide obtained from Chrysanthemum Douluo, a brief investigation revealed that all the Immortal Herb in this area were included.
