Developing the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well

"..."

Hearing Qing Mu's words, which sounded like something out of Versailles, Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan fell silent for a moment.

After a moment, Dugu Bo belatedly grasped the key point in Qing Mu's words and pressed for an answer:

"Wait, you mean the Immortal Herb can increase your Soul Power by five to seven levels?"

"That's right, otherwise why do you think I went to such lengths to find the immortal Immortal Herb?"

Qing Mu nodded as if it were a matter of course.

Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo's expression immediately turned ugly. "So, you didn't use up all those immortal Immortal Herb you took from me, did you?"

"Pretty much. The sooner you use immortal Immortal Herb, the better. But Senior Dugu Bo, you're not going to go back on your word, are you?"

"Let me tell you first, I won't return it to you. Besides, I only have some special Immortal Herb left, and they're either unsuitable or unusable to help Sister Yan Yan level up."

As he spoke, Qing Mu slightly covered the Ruyi Hundred Treasures Pouch at his waist with his hand.

Seeing this, Dugu Bo looked at the Ruyi Hundred Treasures Pouch at Qing Mu's waist and felt as if he wanted to cry but had no tears.

Why did I give this kid the Ruyi Hundred Treasures Pouch when I had nothing better to do? Isn't that just letting him take more of the Immortal Herb?

At this moment, Qing Mu patted Dugu Bo on the shoulder and said, "Senior Dugu, there's no need to be so agitated. Although I took some, there are still many herbs inside the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, aren't there?"

"These herbs should be enough for you and Sister Yan Yan, Senior Dugu."

Qing Mu only took the Immortal Herb that he recognized and that were useful to him; he didn't touch the remaining Immortal Herb or those he didn't recognize.

Some of these items can increase one's level, and some may even work on Dugu Bo himself, but Dugu Bo simply doesn't know how to use them.

Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo's expression softened slightly, but he still rolled his eyes at Qing Mu and said, "You're just talking without understanding the situation. If you knew the uses of these Immortal Herb, you wouldn't have let me take so many."

"If you don't understand, you can find someone who does."

Qing Mu was also somewhat speechless. There was a reason why Dugu Bo had the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well taken away by Tang San in the original novel. He was guarding a treasure mountain but was not satisfied.

With so many Immortal Herb in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, if anyone had developed even a little bit of them, they wouldn't have ended up at level ninety-two.

I reckon I only recognize one of all the immortal Immortal Herb: the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, mainly because I was once beaten up by Chrysanthemum Douluo.

However, after a moment's thought, Dugu Bo shook his head and said, "No, this Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well is my Secret Base; I cannot let others know about it."

"So you're just going to sit here guarding this treasure trove unused? If you were to develop these Immortal Herb, your strength would definitely improve by leaps and bounds, and even Sister Yan Yan could achieve her title sooner. Then, with two titles from your sect, would you still be afraid of others causing trouble?"

Qing Mu rolled her eyes at Dugu Bo.

At this moment, Dugu Yan, who was listening nearby, also lit up and said to Dugu Bo, "Yes, Grandpa, if things are really as Brother Qing Mu said, then developing the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well will definitely be more beneficial than harmful to us."

"And Grandpa, as long as you're careful, you don't need to worry about the information here being leaked."

Judging from the conversation between Qing Mu and Dugu Bo, what they said should be true; this Immortal Herb really can improve one's cultivation level.

Since that's the case, why not just leave it here to gather dust? If the effects of the Immortal Herb are truly as powerful as Qing Mu described, she might be able to surpass Tang Hao and break through to the Title Douluo level faster than him.

Upon hearing even his granddaughter agree with Qing Mu's words, Dugu Bo fell into deep thought. Could it be that he had been too cautious, to the point of losing his ambition?

Then, Dugu Bo sighed and said, "Perhaps you are right. Speaking of knowledge about herbs, I do know someone. With his help, developing the herbs within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well shouldn't be difficult."

"Grandpa, who is this person?"

Upon hearing this, Dugu Yan asked with some curiosity.

Faced with his granddaughter's question, Dugu Bo was naturally happy to reply, "This person Yang Wudi, and is the patriarch of the Breaking Clan."

The Breaking Clan is extremely skilled in medicine making, and Yang Wudi, as the Breaking Clan leader, is unparalleled in this field.

If it were more than ten years ago, I would never have mentioned him, because the Breaking Clan is one of the four core affiliated families of the Clear Sky Sect. Telling him about the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well is basically the same as telling the Clear Sky Sect.

But the situation is different now!

After Tang Hao killed the former Pope of the Spirit Hall, the Clear Sky Sect abandoned all its affiliated forces to avoid the sharp edge of the Martial Soul. Among them, the Four Great Families, due to their close relationship with the Clear Sky Sect, suffered particularly severe blows.

The Breaking Clan suffered more than half its casualties and has yet to recover its strength. Furthermore, due to the suppression by the Spirit Hall, they are not doing particularly well.

In that battle, Yang Wudi's only son was killed and his closest brother was captured by the Spirit Hall. Therefore, Yang Wudi harbored deep resentment towards the Clear Sky Sect, even more so than towards the Spirit Hall.

Therefore, there's no way he could reconcile with the Clear Sky Sect. If I were to become his supporter now and help the Breaking Clan improve their situation, they should be safe, as long as the other party isn't an ingrate."

"In that case, Yang Wudi is indeed a good candidate."

After Dugu Bo's explanation, Dugu Yan nodded in understanding, but then said with some worry, "But if that's the case, what about the Spirit Hall..."

"There's no need to worry too much about the Spirit Hall. They have many other things to deal with, and the Breaking Clan isn't worth their attention."

Dugu Bo waved his hand and continued, "In fact, with the strength of the Spirit Hall, eliminating the Single Attribute Four Great Clans would be a piece of cake."

Although the Four Great Families are not doing very well now, they are still alive, which is enough to prove that the Spirit Hall does not care too much about them.

In fact, many of the original vassals of the Clear Sky Sect are now doing very well. The Four Great Families are not doing well is largely their own fault.

"Their own problem?"

Hearing this, Dugu Yan was somewhat puzzled.

Dugu Bo explained with a smile, "Their hatred for the Spirit Hall runs too deep, and they've been spreading rumors about it. That's why family members don't dare to collect the Spirit Master subsidies issued by the Spirit Hall Spirit Hall, for fear of being caught on the spot and losing a large sum of income."

The Martial Soul Hall Soul Master Subsidy for each Spirit Master: one Gold Soul Coin per person, ten for Soul Grandmaster and one hundred for Soul Elder, with no age limit.

Most Spirit Master in the Soul Master World are below the Soul Ancestor, so this subsidy from the Spirit Hall is a considerable income for most Spirit Master families.

Spirit Master families have limited funds. Without this income, they would have to bear the cost of supporting low-level Spirit Master Spirit Master themselves, which is unacceptable to most Spirit Master families.
