Immortal Herbs [Extra Monthly Tickets]

Of course, with Dugu Bo's experience at his age, he could naturally tell that the delight on Yang Wudi and Lin Jin's faces was no act.

That was precisely why Dugu Bo was even more unwilling to admit it.

"Dugu Bo, don't go around saying your poison is unrivaled under heaven. I'm embarrassed for you." Yang Wudi curled his lips and said disdainfully.

"Three parts poison in every medicine. Conversely, poison is also medicine. As long as it's used properly, poison can become a treasure."

"Old Goat, if you don't mind, how about we spar?" Dugu Bo flew into a rage. Yang Wudi's words were like a needle, viciously stabbing his proud heart.

Seeing the tension between the two old men flare up again, Lin Jin knew he could not let them keep arguing.

He took a step forward. His gaze was calm but carried an unquestionable force as he looked at Dugu Bo.

"Senior, Clan Head Yang's words may be blunt, but they are not without reason."

Without giving Dugu Bo a chance to retort, he pointed toward the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and the Immortal Herbs scattered all around it. His tone was decisive.

"This place is called the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. It is one of the Three Great Treasure Basins formed by heaven and earth! Among these flowers and plants you regard as Severe Poison, there are herbs that can resolve Miss Dugu Yan's Martial Soul Backlash."

"Clan Head Yang, stop keeping Dugu Bo in suspense. Since your Granddaughter is ill, I know you're anxious. I know of an Immortal Herb called the Earth Dragon Golden Gourd that can solve Dugu Yan's problem."

"And that Dragon Tongue Grass should be able to solve the problem afflicting Dugu Bo as well."

"Earth Dragon Golden Gourd? What's that?" Dugu Yan asked suspiciously.

"Dragon Tongue Grass?" Dugu Bo was equally puzzled.

Yang Wudi was momentarily stunned. Then, a thoughtful glint flashed through his eyes. As a master of Medicine Dao, he had naturally heard of these two rare treasures. However, he had been so shaken by the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well as a whole that he had not immediately connected them to their specific uses.

After Lin Jin brought them up, he began deducing it in his mind at once. The more he thought about it, the more sense it made.

"General Lin, do you think they could grow here?" Yang Wudi asked.

"If even this place doesn't have them, they probably won't grow anywhere in the outside world. Search carefully. You should be able to find them." Lin Jin spoke with certainty.

"Good, I'll go search the bottom of the Valley right now." Yang Wudi descended to the bottom of the Valley with an excited look on his face.

Lin Jin also jumped down after him.

The Grandfather and Granddaughter by the edge of the Valley watched the two men busy themselves below. Dugu Yan could not help asking, "Grandfather, could there really be poison herbs that can resolve our Martial Souls?"

"Yanyan." Dugu Bo sighed. "Grandfather doesn't know either. Hopefully, they can really solve it."

"If they can't, this Valley will become their burial ground."

At the bottom of the Valley, Lin Jin and Yang Wudi ignored the killing intent faintly drifting down from above.

"General Lin, look over there!" Yang Wudi's eyes were sharp as he pointed toward a crack in the Cliff Face beside the Ice Spring.

A strangely shaped plant grew there. Its roots and stem resembled a coiled Dragon Body, bearing a completely golden fruit covered in dense scale-like Veins. It radiated a heavy yet gentle Earth Yellow Halo, forming a stark contrast with the icy surroundings while existing together in an oddly harmonious way.

"The Earth Dragon Golden Gourd! It really is here!" Yang Wudi's voice trembled with excitement.

Almost at the same time, Lin Jin's gaze locked onto a red rock resembling a Dragon Head at the edge of the Hot Spring.

A herb with long, tongue-like leaves and sharp serrated edges grew stubbornly from a crack in the rock. Its entire body was dark green, and a faint, lava-like sheen flowed across its leaves. A vigorous, ancient, slightly domineering life Aura spread through the air.

"Dragon Tongue Grass!" Lin Jin confirmed.

When Lin Jin and Yang Wudi returned to the edge of the Valley carrying the Immortal Herbs, Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan's gazes were instantly drawn to them.

"Dugu Senior, Miss Dugu, I have fulfilled my duty." Lin Jin handed the Earth Dragon Golden Gourd to Dugu Yan and the Dragon Tongue Grass to Dugu Bo.

"Can these really solve the problems with our Martial Souls?" Dugu Bo asked. His voice carried a slight tremor, one he was not even aware of himself.

"Of course." Lin Jin explained, "The Earth Dragon Golden Gourd contains the essence of the Earth Dragon Vein. Its nature is warm and rich, and it mainly consolidates one's foundation, nourishes one's origin, and strengthens the roots."

"The Dragon Tongue Grass is fierce and domineering, but its 'domineering' nature lies in cleansing and rebirth. It is more like a key that can forcibly pry open and awaken the dormant potential of one's bloodline."

"The Earth Dragon Golden Gourd consolidates one's foundation and nourishes one's origin, making it suitable for Miss Dugu, whose Soul Power is weaker. The Dragon Tongue Grass's process of breaking before rebuilding is painful, making it suitable for you, Dugu Senior, who has been poisoned for many years."

Dugu Bo took a deep breath and looked at Lin Jin. His gaze was incredibly complicated, but in the end, he bowed deeply. "General Lin, great kindness needs no thanks! I was narrow-minded before! If this method truly works, I... will owe you my life!"

At that moment, all his pride and killing intent transformed into gratitude and a promise.

"Senior, you flatter me. Please begin as soon as possible." Lin Jin accepted his bow calmly.

Dugu Bo no longer hesitated and nodded at Dugu Yan.

The Grandfather and Granddaughter each found a relatively flat and safe place. They sat down cross-legged and, with excitement and unease in their hearts, swallowed the Immortal Herbs in their hands.

"Senior Yang, protect the two of them while they cultivate. I should also think about myself. I'll take the Ice and Fire Immortal Herbs and temper my body in the spring." Seeing that the two had entered deep refinement of the Medicinal Power, Lin Jin stopped watching them.

"Go ahead, General." Yang Wudi nodded. "With me here, nothing will go wrong!"

Lin Jin returned to the bottom of the Valley. By the spring's edge, he plucked the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the Infernal Delicate Apricot.

Holding one Immortal Herb in each hand, Lin Jin immediately manifested five Soul Rings around himself.

His level-52 Soul Power surged into view. He took a deep breath and swallowed the two Immortal Herbs directly.

Then, when the Medicinal Power reached its peak, Lin Jin leaped into the center of the spring.

"BOOM!!!"

The entire spring completely erupted! Two utterly opposite yet naturally coexisting energies of heaven and earth, extreme cold and extreme heat, seemed to have found an outlet and surged madly into Lin Jin's body.

They joined forces with the Medicinal Power of the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Infernal Delicate Apricot he had just swallowed, erupting with a thunderous roar!

"Urghhh—!"

Even with Lin Jin's extraordinarily tenacious will, he could not help letting out a suppressed, agonized roar.

His body became the cruelest battlefield. One half was instantly covered in thick Dark Blue Ice Crystals that seemed capable of freezing even his soul.

The other half turned scarlet and scorching hot. His skin cracked, as if magma were coursing through his veins.

Yang Wudi saw everything Lin Jin did from the edge of the Valley, and the shock in his heart was indescribable.

Seeing Lin Jin act so crazily, as though he did not value his life, he sighed with deep emotion. "At such a young age, this person's understanding of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well surpasses even mine. Just what is his background? What kind of power stands behind him?"

It was no wonder Yang Wudi had these suspicions. He knew about the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and the Immortal Herbs because it was a secret passed down through the Breaking Clan from generation to generation.

Moreover, Lin Jin's knowledge in this area faintly surpassed even the knowledge passed down through his own Breaking Clan.
