Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Immortal Herbs!

"Stay close."

Qing Luan Douluo walked at the very front. He appeared leisurely, but his Spiritual Power had already spread across several miles.

Ye Chen guided the way as they headed deeper into the forest.

Qian Renxue walked at his side, occasionally lifting her eyes to observe their surroundings, her expression calm.

Porcupinefish Douluo and Snake Lance Douluo flanked them on either side, keeping Qian Renxue and Ye Chen protected between them.

After traveling like this for an hour, the light around them grew increasingly dim, and the dampness in the air gradually turned into a faintly sweet, fishy stench.

"Stop."

Qing Luan Douluo suddenly raised a hand, bringing everyone to a halt.

He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked toward the depths of the dense forest, surprise appearing on his face.

Porcupinefish Douluo's expression also changed slightly. His nostrils flared as he said in a low voice, "What potent poison."

Snake Lance Douluo tightened his grip on his Snake Lance, his wary gaze sweeping over their surroundings.

Ye Chen and Qian Renxue exchanged a glance, and both remained silent.

After a moment of silence, Qing Luan Douluo slowly said, "There is a Poison Array ahead. Its range is vast, and its toxicity is so potent... even a Soul Douluo would suffer greatly if they barged in rashly."

"There are no more than a handful of people in this world capable of setting up such a Poison Array."

Porcupinefish Douluo frowned deeply. "And the most likely person to appear in Sunset Forest would be..."

"Dugu Bo," Snake Lance Douluo finished.

Qing Luan Douluo nodded slightly.

"Poison Douluo Dugu Bo, titled 'Poison,' whose martial soul is the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor. Though he is solitary by nature and eccentric in his conduct, his mastery of poison is indeed unfathomable. He could certainly establish such a formation in Sunset Forest."

Qian Renxue's eyes flickered as she spoke. "Poison Douluo serves as a guest advisor to the Heaven Dou Imperial Family. I have met him several times.

"But he has always been a lone wolf. Why would he set up such a Poison Array in Sunset Forest?"

"He must be guarding something."

Qing Luan Douluo stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze piercing through the dense forest as though he could see into the depths of the Poison Array.

"Dugu Bo deliberately erected such a barrier in Sunset Forest. He must be protecting either a certain place or a certain object."

Porcupinefish Douluo's eyes lit up. "Could the Immortal Herbs the Young Master is searching for be inside?"

Ye Chen glanced at Porcupinefish Douluo.

According to the memories of his previous life, the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was indeed deep within Sunset Forest, guarded by Dugu Bo's Poison Array.

Ye Chen kept his expression unchanged and merely said softly, "The direction indicated by the inheritance revelation is indeed this way."

Qing Luan Douluo no longer hesitated. "In that case, let us go in and take a look."

With a sweep of his sleeve, a layer of hazy azure light emerged from his body, instantly expanding into an enormous Soul Power barrier that enveloped all five of them.

"Let's go."

Qing Luan Douluo took the lead and stepped into the Poison Array.

Porcupinefish Douluo and Snake Lance Douluo followed closely behind, each releasing Soul Power to add another layer of protection to the barrier.

Ye Chen felt warmth spread around him, and that faintly sweet, fishy odor was shut out.

Through the hazy azure curtain of light, they could see the landscape outside rapidly changing—

The trees, which had initially seemed fairly normal, gradually became sparse. In their place grew bizarre poisonous plants.

Purple-black vines coiled around dead trees like snakes. Brightly colored poisonous mushrooms sprouted from rotting trunks, while pale purple miasma visible to the naked eye filled the air.

Occasionally, an unfortunate Soul Beast would wander inside. Within moments, it would foam at the mouth and collapse in convulsions, turning into a puddle of pus in the blink of an eye.

Qian Renxue frowned slightly and instinctively moved a little closer to Ye Chen.

Ye Chen gently took her hand.

Qian Renxue froze for a moment, then the corners of her lips lifted. She clasped his hand in return and chuckled. "Your sister isn't afraid of these things."

The group traveled through the Poison Array for the time it took an incense stick to burn.

Then, the miasma ahead gradually thinned, replaced by a stretch of clear sky.

Qing Luan Douluo halted, and the view before them suddenly opened up—

This was a hidden Valley.

Sheer cliffs surrounded it on all sides, cutting it off from the outside world.

Mist swirled through the Valley, but it was not poisonous miasma. Instead, it was gentle vapor, and the air was fresh and sweet, carrying a soothing medicinal fragrance.

At the very center of the Valley lay a strange Pool.

The Pool was divided into red and blue, the two colors distinctly separated.

One side blazed like fire, sending up scorching waves of heat. The other was cold as ice, condensing into chilling white mist.

The two completely opposing auras intertwined, yet strangely did not interfere with one another, forming an exceptional treasure ground within this Valley.

"This is..."

Qing Luan Douluo's pupils contracted. Even with his experience, he could not identify this extraordinary sight.

Porcupinefish Douluo and Snake Lance Douluo looked at each other, their eyes filled with shock.

Only Ye Chen understood.

The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well!

One of the three great treasure basins of Douluo Continent, gathering the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and nurturing Immortal Herbs and spiritual roots.

To possess such a place was equivalent to owning countless natural treasures.

Yet he only feigned surprise and said nothing more.

A brilliant light flashed in Qian Renxue's beautiful eyes as her gaze fell upon the surroundings of the red-and-blue Pool—

One strange flower and exotic herb after another grew quietly along the banks of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

Some were crimson all over and shaped like raging flames. Some were crystal clear, as though formed from ice and snow. Some bore scarlet fruits that gave off an intoxicating fragrance. Others bloomed with a faint blue radiance.

"These are..."

Qing Luan Douluo swept his gaze over the Immortal Herbs, and his expression suddenly shifted.

He stepped forward and studied them carefully for a moment before slowly saying, "Before coming here, I read Yue Guan's Immortal Herb Record. These are exactly the same as the Immortal Herbs recorded within it!"

Qing Luan Douluo pointed at an Immortal Herb that was crimson all over, with leaves resembling flames. "Infernal Delicate Apricot, extremely fiery in nature, born in places of extreme heat."

He then pointed at an Immortal Herb that was snow-white all over, its petals like frost. "Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, extremely cold in nature, born in places of extreme cold.

"Taken individually, these two Immortal Herbs are deadly poisons. But if swallowed together, they can strengthen the body and forge a physique immune to water and fire!"

"And this one..."

Qing Luan Douluo's gaze settled on an Immortal Herb that was deep blue all over, its petals sparkling like stars. "Aromatic Silk Beauty. It can neutralize all poisons and is a rare sacred antidotal herb."

Porcupinefish Douluo and Snake Lance Douluo were dumbfounded.

Though they were Titled Douluo, they knew very little about such natural treasures.

It could only be said that Yue Guan, who possessed the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum martial soul, truly had an unparalleled talent for herbs.

Qian Renxue's eyes shifted as she softly asked, "Third Grandpa, are any of these Immortal Herbs suitable for Xiao Chen?"

Hearing this, Qing Luan Douluo swept his gaze over the many Immortal Herbs in the Valley and patted his chest in assurance. "Xiao Chen, Xue'er, don't worry. Grandpa will definitely choose Immortal Herbs suited to both of you."

There were roughly twenty to thirty Immortal Herbs here!

Qing Luan Douluo's eyes were practically dazzled, and he was overflowing with excitement.

Now that so many Immortal Herbs had fallen into their hands, one could imagine that Spirit Hall's strength would soon undergo explosive growth!

However, at that very moment.

A deep rumble suddenly came from outside the Valley.

Everyone turned to look, only to see a jade-green streak of light shooting into the sky from the edge of the Poison Array and racing straight toward the Valley.

"Which thief dares enter my Herb Garden without permission?!"
