Ice-Fire Yin Yang Well

After obtaining the Breaking Clan's Pharmacopoeia, Xue Tianxing impatiently tugged at Liu Tianfeng's sleeve, his eyes shining as though polished with light:

"Grandpa Liu, hurry! Let's go to Heaven Dou City and find Elder Dugu right now. We'll look for Immortal Herbs in his medicine garden!"

Seeing how impatient he was, Liu Tianfeng could not help but laugh.

"You're even more anxious than this old man who's waiting to break through."

Though he said that, Soul Power surged beneath Liu Tianfeng's feet, and the Frosty Cold Wind Sword sped up again as it carried Xue Tianxing racing toward Heaven Dou City.

The wind howled past their ears, while the forests and fields below rapidly receded.

In less than half an hour, the outline of Heaven Dou City reappeared in sight.

Liu Tianfeng landed in a secluded grove outside the city and set Xue Tianxing down.

"I'll keep watch nearby. Go in and find that Old Poison yourself. Remember, keep your wits about you in everything you do. Don't be too rash."

"Got it, Grandpa Liu!"

Xue Tianxing answered and immediately ran toward Heaven Dou City, every step filled with excitement.

He hurried all the way there and soon arrived at the entrance of Dugu Manor. Just as he raised his hand to knock, the gates creaked open on their own.

Dugu Bo stood behind them. He seemed to have been waiting for a while, his dark green robes fluttering slightly in the wind as he asked calmly:

"Are you ready?"

Xue Tianxing nodded forcefully and said to Dugu Bo, "I'm ready! Elder Dugu, are we going to the medicine garden now?"

"If you're ready, then let's go."

As Dugu Bo spoke, he did not wait for Xue Tianxing to react. He grabbed the back of his collar, and Soul Power suddenly erupted beneath his feet as he took to the air, flying toward Sunset Forest.

Xue Tianxing only felt the wind roaring around his ears. Looking down, he could see treetops flashing past beneath them.

In roughly the time it took to burn an incense stick, the two arrived deep within Sunset Forest.

Dugu Bo led him through the forest for a while before a thick purple-black poisonous miasma suddenly appeared ahead. The mist churned and gave off a poisonous aura that made one's heart tremble.

"Hold your breath and follow me."

Dugu Bo gave the warning as a faint Soul Power barrier appeared around him, blocking out the poisonous miasma while he led Xue Tianxing straight through it.

The moment they passed through the miasma, the sight before them abruptly changed—they were standing at the edge of a small basin.

Xue Tianxing leaned forward to look down, and his heart began pounding wildly.

At the center of the basin was a pool of spring water glowing with an eerie light. One half was blazing crimson, while the other was icy azure. Wisps of white mist rose from where the red and blue waters met. It was the Ice-Fire Yin Yang Well!

All around the Ice-Fire Yin Yang Well grew countless rare flowers and exotic plants in a scattered arrangement:

Some petals gleamed like glazed crystal, some leaves were covered in frost, and some flower cores seemed to burn with tiny flames...

Each plant gave off a rich yet pure Soul Power aura. They were clearly all Immortal Herbs rarely seen in the world!

Xue Tianxing stared until his eyes went blank, unconsciously swallowing. The scene he had seen in the anime in his previous life was now vividly laid out before him, and the shock was far more intense than he had imagined.

Xue Tianxing could even vaguely recognize several familiar Immortal Herbs. The one with sword-like leaves seemed to be Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew; the flame-red flower was likely the Infernal Delicate Apricot; and the one covered in ice crystals was most likely the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass...

"Are these medicinal herbs what you need? Are there enough?"

Dugu Bo's voice came from beside him, pulling Xue Tianxing out of his shock.

Xue Tianxing hurriedly nodded, his voice trembling slightly.

"Enough! More than enough! Elder Dugu, the medicinal herbs here are completely sufficient!"

Dugu Bo watched Xue Tianxing's excited expression and asked flatly:

"As long as there are enough. How long do you need to select and use these Immortal Herbs?"

Xue Tianxing lowered his head and pondered for a moment. Identifying the Immortal Herbs would take time, and refining their effects after consuming them would require even more patience. One month should be enough.

Xue Tianxing raised his head and said firmly to Dugu Bo:

"Give me one month. I'll definitely prepare the herbs needed for the antidote during that time, and I'll also select Immortal Herbs suitable for myself."

"Fine. Then I'll give you one month."

Dugu Bo nodded and did not linger. Before leaving, he said to Xue Tianxing:

"Use the Immortal Herbs here however you like, as long as you don't destroy their roots. I'll come back in a few days to see how things are going."

With that, his figure flashed, turning into a green blur that vanished into the poisonous miasma at the edge of the basin, leaving Xue Tianxing alone beside the Ice-Fire Yin Yang Well.

Watching Dugu Bo's retreating figure, Xue Tianxing took a deep breath, suppressed the excitement in his heart, hugged the Pharmacopoeia, and rushed down the cliff.

The moment he landed, a rich medicinal fragrance washed over him, mixed with the unique hot-and-cold aura of the Ice-Fire Yin Yang Well. It refreshed his spirits.

Xue Tianxing crouched down and carefully opened the Pharmacopoeia, comparing it with the Immortal Herbs before him as he began identifying them.

"This is the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum. It can increase Soul Power and strengthen one's foundation... This is Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew. It can enhance spiritual power... This is Lovesick Heartbreak Red. It can only be picked with the blood of true love..."

Every time he recognized an Immortal Herb, Xue Tianxing could not help but feel overjoyed. These treasures that he had only heard of in the original work were now right before him, available for him to choose as he pleased.

After identifying them for quite a while, Xue Tianxing finally arrived at the edge of the Ice-Fire Yin Yang Well.

To the left of the spring grew a completely fiery-red plant, its leaves curled like flames and a vivid red flower blooming at its peak. It was the Infernal Delicate Apricot; to the right was an ice-blue plant with translucent leaves that looked as though they had been carved from frozen ice, giving off a bone-piercing chill. It was the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass.

Xue Tianxing stared at the two Immortal Herbs, determination flashing through his eyes.

In the original work, Tang San had consumed these two Immortal Herbs and then tempered his body with the power of the Ice-Fire Yin Yang Well, gaining a formidable physique impervious to water and fire.

With the Extreme Ice of his Ice Phoenix Spirit and the fire attribute of the Six-winged Angel as his foundation, perhaps he could endure the medicinal effects of both herbs even better than Tang San!

Xue Tianxing no longer hesitated. He carefully picked the Infernal Delicate Apricot and the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, then placed both Immortal Herbs into his mouth at the same time without the slightest delay.

The Immortal Herbs melted the instant they entered his mouth. A magma-like scorching force and an ice-cold force erupted inside his body, the two energies crazily colliding through his meridians as though they were about to tear him apart.

Enduring the excruciating pain, Xue Tianxing leaped into the waters of the Ice-Fire Yin Yang Well.

The moment he entered the water, the spring's hot-and-cold power surged into his body through his pores. The scorching heat of the red region echoed with the medicinal power of the Infernal Delicate Apricot, while the frigid cold of the blue region merged with the medicinal power of the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass. The four forces intertwined and collided within him, yet under the guidance of the Ice Phoenix and Six-winged Angel Spirits, they gradually formed a wondrous balance.
