Ice Fire Yin Yang Well

As they approached the poison formation, the effect of the Aromatic Silk Beauty became apparent. Centered on the Aromatic Silk Beauty, a pink light barrier rose within a ten-meter radius.

Those green poisons were utterly unable to penetrate this barrier.

And so, the three of them swaggered straight into the poison formation.

No sooner had they passed through the poison formation than they saw a figure flying toward them from afar, stopping ten meters away.

From his strikingly peculiar green hair and green eyes, as well as the nine soul rings pulsing around him, Lin Ye had already identified the newcomer—it was Poison Douluo, Dugu Bo.

"A soul beast?"

Dugu Bo's gaze instantly locked onto Bing Di. Xue Di's cultivation was profound, and Dugu Bo couldn't gauge her depth. But he could sense Bing Di's aura—this little girl-like creature was clearly a soul beast.

More importantly, this soul beast was far too powerful, terrifying, even more fearsome than a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.

He had originally intended to drive away the intruders, but who would have thought that the one coming—no, the soul beast—would be so horrifying? This immediately made him abandon any thought of fighting.

No choice. He couldn't win. He really couldn't win.

Forcing a fight would only result in him being killed, his ashes scattered to the wind.

"May I ask, what business do you have here?" Dugu Bo asked cautiously, his attitude very humble.

"He... looks so weak!" Bing Di sized up Dugu Bo and commented.

Dugu Bo: "..."

Though it stung, he had to admit she was telling the truth.

"Should I kill him?" Bing Di asked Lin Ye.

At these words, Dugu Bo was startled. He thought, I haven't offended you, so why are you talking about killing the moment we meet?

Lin Ye found Bing Di refreshingly blunt—she said whatever came to mind. Look how scared Dugu Bo was.

He naturally had no intention of killing Dugu Bo. There was no grudge or enmity, so why bother?

"Dugu Bo, we want to go in and pick some herbs. You don't have a problem with that, do you?" Lin Ye asked symbolically.

Of course, even if he did have a problem, it wouldn't matter. If not, he'd just have Bing Di talk to the old man with her fists.

Dugu Bo was taken aback. "You know me?"

While puzzled, he breathed a long sigh of relief inwardly. It seemed they didn't intend to harm him. But it was strange that such a terrifying soul beast was listening to this kid.

Soon, under Dugu Bo's guidance, the group arrived at the mountaintop.

Before them was an inverted cone-shaped hollow. The mountaintop they stood on was the edge of this hollow. Thick, hot air rose from within, moist and carrying a distinct smell of sulfur.

On a large rock at the summit, a few large characters were carved: "Lin's was here." However, due to weathering, the writing had become somewhat blurred.

Seeing this, Lin Ye smiled. This was probably another masterpiece of his future self.

"Is this the place you're looking for?" Bing Di asked.

Lin Ye nodded slightly and pointed down into the hollow. "It's down there."

"Alright then, let's go."

With that, Bing Di grabbed Lin Ye by the back of his collar and leaped, jumping straight down from the pitch-black, bottomless edge of the mountain.

"Damn it, slow down, slow down! Are you trying to kill me?!"

Lin Ye wasn't afraid of heights, but the weightlessness from his body made him panic involuntarily.

Bing Di was just messing with him. She had no intention of letting Lin Ye fall to his death. She slowed down just before they reached the ground.

The two landed steadily.

"Hey, I didn't offend you, did I? Why are you picking on me?" Lin Ye asked, still shaken from the cliff-jumping experience.

Hearing this, Bing Di's eyes sparkled with amusement. "No, not at all. Don't overthink it. Besides, in your words, I'm still your boss now."

If she hadn't said that, it might have been fine. But now Lin Ye was even more suspicious. Could his future self have really offended this woman after traveling through time?

Regardless, Lin Ye mentally noted this down. Once he turned the tables, he would definitely hang this woman up and give her a beating.

"You said it yourself, I'm your boss. There's no logic in an employee bullying the boss. Let me tell you, don't let it happen again, or else..."

"Or else what? What can you do to me?" Bing Di's eyes widened, arms crossed, exuding an overwhelming aura.

Lin Ye choked, thought for a moment, and then said, "Or else I won't give you any more allowance."

"You..." Bing Di's face changed several times before she finally conceded, very reluctantly. "Hmph, fine."

She loved good food, and money could buy good food. So for the sake of good food, she'd endure it.

"That's more like it." Lin Ye felt much better. He hadn't expected this character from the original story to be such a foodie.

Well, to be fair, in the original, Bing Di was forced to sacrifice herself to Huo Gang the moment she appeared, so she never had the chance to taste human society's cuisine.

The desire for food—everyone had that need. Some liked sweets, others liked spicy.

Sweet, sour, bitter, spicy, salty—there was always something for everyone.

Dugu Bo and Xue Di had already come down long ago but hadn't disturbed the two.

The interaction between the two made Dugu Bo's expression turn strange. A soul beast that liked money?

After dealing with Bing Di, Lin Ye shifted his attention to the pool before him. The water was divided into red and white halves, distinct and separate, looking from afar like a dual-flavor hotpot.

This was the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well, a place every transmigrator had to come and plunder—the greatest opportunity on the Douluo Continent.

On the banks of the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well grew a vast number of medicinal herbs: Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower, Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone...

Lin Ye recognized most of them.

But compared to the ones in his own hands, these were noticeably lower in age. You could see with the naked eye that their size was smaller than the batch Lin Ye already had.

In the future, after Lin Ye had taken away most of the immortal herbs, he had planted their seeds, and these were the ones now growing.

Lin Ye's gaze shifted to the two immortal herbs of strikingly different colors inside the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well.

Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass—a plant like a large white flower, octagonal in shape, with a center that sparkled like ice crystals.

The other was Blazing Apricot Jiao Sparse, entirely fiery red, resembling a cabbage-like plant.

"Xue Nu, help me take that dagger and jade bowl out of the Dragon Pattern Jade Pendant."

Hearing this, Xue Di nodded slightly. With a wave of her hand, two items appeared in Lin Ye's grasp.

A dagger forged from refined iron, and a jade bowl.

"Go on, take this and chop down the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass for me—the one over there..." Lin Ye handed the dagger to Bing Di. He had no choice; with his current small frame, he really couldn't withstand the cold of the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass.

"Don't you have hands yourself?" Bing Di pouted reluctantly.

"Do me a favor, okay? Later I'll take you to eat something delicious."

This method worked as expected. Bing Di's displeasure vanished, and she took the dagger, cheerfully heading off to work.
