Dugu Yan and the others walked over.

"Grandpa, what were you two talking about? You've been chatting for so long."

Dugu Bo chuckled.

"Nothing much, just exchanging notes on detoxification."

Long Chen walked towards Ye Lingling.

"Lingling, you've finished absorbing your soul ring. How do you feel?"

"Very good, my soul power has increased by one level."

"With a Thousand-Year Soul Ring, your healing abilities should have improved significantly."

Ye Lingling smiled and nodded.

Long Chen continued:

"Lingling, I'm going to stay with Dugu Senior for a while. While I'm gone, you need to take care of yourself."

Hearing this, Ye Lingling was taken aback.

"Brother Chen, are you going to develop the Detoxification Pill with Dugu Senior?"

"Mm, something like that."

Long Chen couldn't explain too much to Ye Lingling.

Qin Ming and the teammates had all heard Long Chen's words, and they were all a bit surprised.

While they were waiting earlier, they had heard Dugu Yan say that the ink green figure emitting a terrifying aura was her grandpa, Dugu Bo.

None of them dared to look directly at Dugu Bo.

Qin Ming asked:

"Long Chen, have you thought it through? There are only a little over two years until the Soul Master Competition."

Long Chen understood Qin Ming's meaning.

Heaven Dou Royal Academy placed great importance on the next Soul Master Competition.

The current Royal Fighting Team indeed possessed good overall strength, much stronger than the teams from the previous three competitions.

Long Chen, as a powerful Control Soul Master, his role in the team was self-evident.

Qin Ming naturally hoped he could focus more of his energy on cultivation.

However, in front of Dugu Bo, Qin Ming dared not say it directly.

Long Chen's gaze swept over everyone, and he said calmly:

"Rest assured, I will return as soon as possible to rejoin everyone."

Seeing that Long Chen had made up his mind, the others couldn't say much more.

"Brother Chen, you take care of yourself too."

"Mhm, don't worry, nothing will happen."

Dugu Yan walked to Dugu Bo's side and whispered:

"Grandpa, don't make things difficult for Xiao Chen."

"You worry too much. I'm even planning to take him as a disciple, why would I make things difficult for him?"

"Then don't keep him for too long. He's the most powerful member of our team, and we still need to prepare for the Soul Master Competition."

"Got it."

"Then I can rest assured."

After Dugu Yan finished speaking, she left with a smile.

Afterward, Ye Lingling reluctantly bid farewell to Long Chen.

Seeing that group disappear from sight, Dugu Bo said:

"Kid, my Medicine Garden is in this forest, follow me."

After Dugu Bo finished speaking, his figure moved, heading deeper into the forest.

Long Chen followed closely behind.

A moment later, Dugu Bo stopped and took out a pill.

"Ahead is the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison Array I've set up. Without my specially made Detoxification Pill, any Soul Master or Soul Beast that intrudes will surely die."

After speaking, Dugu Bo threw the Detoxification Pill in his hand to Long Chen.

"Eat it."

Long Chen took the Detoxification Pill and swallowed it directly without any hesitation.

"Kid, keep up."

Dugu Bo continued forward, climbing the mountain path as if walking on flat ground.

Long Chen quickly activated his soul power, following behind Dugu Bo.

Ye Tianming had previously given him long-term physical stamina special training, which endowed him with good physical strength and endurance, allowing him to move freely through the forest, and climbing cliffs was not difficult for him.

"Kid, your speed is not bad, you can actually keep up with me. Continue."

Under Dugu Bo's lead, Long Chen arrived at a mountaintop.

This was an inverted cone shape mountain hollow, and the mountaintop where they were located was the edge of this hollow.

A hot air was rising from within the hollow.

The hot air was humid, and it also carried a hint of the distinct smell of sulfur.

A wave of surprise surged in Long Chen's heart.

He knew that the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was at the bottom of this hollow.

"There's a hot spring at the bottom of this hollow?"

"Kid, you can smell it?"

"Of course. If I can't even smell a pungent smell like sulfur, how can I research herbs?"

"That's true. My medicine garden is at the bottom of this valley. If you have the guts, follow me down."

After Dugu Bo finished speaking, he spread his body and directly jumped off the edge of the mountain, which was too deep to see.

In the blink of an eye, his figure had already disappeared into the water mist.

Long Chen knew that this was Dugu Bo's test for him.

However, this would not stump him.

He directly released his martial soul and soul rings.

Following the sudden flash of his third soul ring, his finger lightly strummed the lute strings. As the notes sounded, a huge Xuanwu Phantom completely enveloped him.

He leaped forward, and the Xuanwu Phantom, wrapping around him, plunged straight into the valley bottom.

Dugu Bo had just reached the valley bottom when he looked up and saw a huge green shadow descending from the sky, landing steadily in front of him.

The Xuanwu Phantom, with its turtle and snake body, completely protected Long Chen. The moment it landed, there wasn't even a ripple.

Long Chen put away the Dark Night Demonic Lute, and the Xuanwu Phantom also disappeared.

Dugu Bo was greatly surprised by this.

Having lived for seventy or eighty years, he had never seen such a weird soul skill.

"Kid, your martial soul can be used like this?"

Long Chen smiled.

"My soul skills are indeed somewhat unusual. You'll know in the future."

"What a strange kid. This is my medicine garden."

Long Chen had already noticed the situation within the valley before him, suppressing his inner excitement.

This was indeed the located of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

The hot spring was not large in area, but it was divided into two sections.

It was oval shape overall. Half of the spring water's color was vermilion red, and the other half was milky white. They were clearly distinct, remaining on their respective sides.

At the intersection of the two extremes spring water, a stream of alternating hot and cold steam slowly rose upwards.

The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was surrounded by all sorts of plants, each in a unique posture. Every single one was a rare herb.

Looking at the scene before him, Long Chen deliberately exclaimed:

"This is actually the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well."

"Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well? Kid, what are you talking about?"

"This is a heaven-blessed spring eye, one spring with two births, the two extremes counteracting each other. It's a treasure land."

"So it's called the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. You know quite a lot, kid."

Dugu Bo pointed at the rare herbs and said:

"Kid, all my medicines are planted here: poisons, tonics, all sorts of medicinal herbs. You can use them, but don't damage them."

"Understood."

"Come with me. Let's see if this Narcissus Jade Skin Bone you mentioned is this plant."

After Dugu Bo finished speaking, he led Long Chen to the side of the cold spring and pointed at a white and crystal clear plant:

"Is it this one?"

Long Chen's eyes lit up, and he nodded with a smile.

"It is indeed the Narcissus Jade Skin Bone. Now, your granddaughter will be saved. However, it hasn't fully grown yet. Wait a little longer."

Long Chen said this deliberately.

He knew that he hadn't completely gained Dugu Bo's trust yet. To Dugu Bo, he only had value for his usefulness.

Therefore, it was better to delay the time to detoxify Dugu Yan.
