Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well

Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well

Liu Yanyang looked ahead. A dense, inky-green poisonous mist filled his view.

It looked extremely dangerous. Even from some distance away, he could still smell the pungent, fishy stench permeating the air.

It seemed this was one of the three great treasure lands—the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

The poison formation Dugu Bo had set up blanketed the entire Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well in toxic mist. Aside from a few poison-attributed plants, any human or Soul Beast that accidentally entered would be in mortal danger.

"Your Excellency, have we arrived?" Liu Yanyang asked.

Dugu Bo nodded and headed straight for the poison formation, with Liu Yanyang following close behind.

When they reached the formation, Dugu Bo waved one hand, opening a gap in it. Liu Yanyang followed him through the opening.

Under Dugu Bo's lead, they arrived atop a mountain. Before Liu Yanyang lay an inverted cone-shaped ravine. The mountaintop where they stood formed the edge of the ravine, and thick heat rose from below. The vapor was extremely damp and carried the distinctive scent of sulfur.

"There's a hot spring down there?" Liu Yanyang asked, though he already knew the answer.

Dugu Bo shot him a glance. "You know quite a lot, brat."

"You generally only find this sulfur smell near volcanic hot springs," Liu Yanyang explained.

"Follow me." Dugu Bo flashed forward and leaped directly into the pitch-black ravine before them, its bottom invisible. With the night, the mist, and the sheer cliff face, his figure vanished in the blink of an eye.

Liu Yanyang smiled. He hadn't expected to receive the same treatment as Tang San. Old Poison was clearly trying to make things difficult for him.

He immediately summoned the Dragon Roar Spear and leaped down along the cliff face. Holding the spear in one hand, he drove it into the mountainside to slow his descent.

As Dugu Bo landed in the ravine, he could not help feeling a little smug. "Brat, let's see how you get down here!"

But after a while, Liu Yanyang still had not jumped down, and Dugu Bo grew a little impatient. He thought that, given the brat's reckless boldness, he surely would not have run away.

Then he spotted a figure rapidly descending along the mountain wall. With his eyesight, he naturally had no trouble seeing what was happening.

"You really are a little monster now. You actually dared to do that. Aren't you afraid of falling to your death?"

Liu Yanyang's lips curled slightly. "Isn't Your Excellency here?"

He then turned his gaze toward the valley before them. The entire valley was divided into two halves. Within the oval pool, the hot spring was milky white on one side and crimson on the other.

Though they occupied the same pool, the two sides were distinctly separated, neither encroaching upon the other as they remained on their respective halves.

Steam billowed continuously upward, only slowly dispersing once it reached the mouth of the valley.

Along the shore surrounding the pool grew lush plants of every kind.

"Well? Are there any medicinal herbs here that can be used?" Dugu Bo's voice suddenly rang out.

Liu Yanyang shook his head. "It seems Your Excellency possesses a treasure land without recognizing it. This place is called the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well."

Seeing Liu Yanyang shake his head, Dugu Bo had been about to fly into a rage. But when he heard the name Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, he stopped, curiosity stirring in his heart.

"The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well refers to the uniquely blessed spring before us. One spring gives birth to two forces, and the two opposing principles restrain one another. A treasure land like this may not form even once in ten million years."

"The reason Your Excellency was able to survive the violent Jade Scale Snake Poison is inseparably linked to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well before us," Liu Yanyang said calmly.

The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well could nurture living things, but it also had extraordinarily special effects on the human body.

For someone like Dugu Bo, whose entire body was saturated with poison, it offered immense benefits. Extreme heat and extreme cold both suppressed toxins.

And a place like the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, where such heavenly treasures gathered, was even more powerful in suppressing poison.

Dugu Bo sighed. "So be it. Fate is fate."

Liu Yanyang walked into the valley. As he looked around, he could not help feeling moved. There were simply too many top-grade medicinal herbs here.

He had trained for two years outside the Mixed Ring of the Star Dou Great Forest and had only found five or six top-grade medicinal herbs. Yet here, they grew everywhere like common weeds!

Thinking of Tang San in the original story, Liu Yanyang could only think the guy was a real bastard. Setting aside the number of immortal herbs, Tang San had stripped this place clean of its countless top-grade medicinal herbs.

And he had not left a single one for Dugu Bo.

Liu Yanyang shook his head, unable to help feeling sorry for Dugu Bo.

He stopped at one spot and pointed to a pale pink flower as he spoke to Dugu Bo.

"This flower is called the Aromatic Silk Beauty. It is the bane of all poisons and can neutralize every toxin. It cannot detoxify by itself, but it can suppress poison."

Dugu Bo was inwardly astonished. He had never expected his herb garden to contain such a miraculous medicinal plant.

He then looked at Liu Yanyang, who was explaining it, and deliberately adopted a sinister tone.

"You told me what this immortal herb can do. Aren't you afraid I'll go back on my word and kill you outright?"

Liu Yanyang laughed, his tone calm.

"Your Excellency suffered from the Jade Scale Snake Poison your entire life. You lost your father in childhood, your wife in middle age, and your son in your later years!"

"You endured suffering others could not endure and survived trials others could not survive, yet in the end still attained the rank of Titled Douluo."

"This junior greatly admires you for that. And while someone like you may have an eccentric and solitary temperament, you will still uphold the bottom line you have set in your heart."

"Besides, this junior sincerely wishes to become Your Excellency's friend despite our age difference!" Having said that, Liu Yanyang stared straight at Dugu Bo.

Dugu Bo laughed heartily. "Exceptional talent, deep thoughts, sharp and clever, valuing both profit and loyalty."

"You truly are impossible to read. Calling you a little monster is hardly undeserved."

"Since Your Excellency is willing to become my friend despite our age difference, I'll call you Old Poison from now on."

The corner of Liu Yanyang's lips curled up slightly. It seemed his sincerity had finally moved Dugu Bo.

"Call me whatever you want. This old man doesn't care."

Dugu Bo turned to look at the peerless immortal herb before him, unable to suppress a sigh. The curse of the Dugu Clan would finally be broken with his granddaughter.

"Now that we've found the herb to cure the illness, little monster, stay here for now. I'll go bring Yanyan over." With that, he prepared to shoot into the sky.

Liu Yanyang immediately spoke up. "Wait, Old Poison. There's no rush."

Dugu Bo turned around and looked at Liu Yanyang with some confusion.

"There are three ways to resolve the Jade Scale Snake Poison: the best, the middling, and the worst."

"Each method has different consequences and different chances of success. As for which one to choose, that's up to you, Old Poison."
