Finally, I've Found You, Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well! (Request Monthly Ticket)

Lu Duzhou felt the soft body of the mature older sister against him and did not resist at all.

Dugu Yan was extremely emotional at that moment, her whole body trembling.

"That's wonderful!"

"I know Grandfather worries about my Martial Soul Poison every day."

"And I've always lived in fear because of it too."

"But so Grandfather wouldn't feel even more pressure, I pretended not to care."

"Today, I can finally put down that disguise."

"Xiao Zhou Didi, thank you!"

Hearing this, Dugu Bo's jealousy over his granddaughter's closeness to Lu Duzhou vanished as well.

He let out a sigh.

"Yanyan, it's because Grandfather is incapable. Grandfather hasn't done well enough."

Though he had exhausted every possible method, he had failed to cure Dugu Yan and only become more anxious.

He had to admit that.

Dugu Yan released Lu Duzhou, returned to Dugu Bo's side, and wrapped her arms around his arm.

"Grandfather! This isn't your fault. I know the pressure and pain you bear are even greater."

After a pause, she suddenly remembered something and looked at Lu Duzhou.

"Xiao Zhou Didi, since you can help me solve my problem, can you also help my grandfather remove his poison?"

Dugu Yan's eyes were filled with hope.

Before Lu Duzhou could answer, Dugu Bo said:

"Yanyan, don't make things difficult for Xiao Zhou."

"His method only suits you. I'm already a Title Douluo, and the poison of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor is no longer merely poison."

Yet Dugu Yan continued to look at Lu Duzhou, waiting for his answer.

Lu Duzhou coughed lightly.

"There is one method, but it treats the symptoms but not the root cause."

Dugu Yan rushed forward, grabbed Lu Duzhou's arm, and anxiously asked:

"What method?"

Lu Duzhou did not keep her in suspense and answered directly.

"The so-called method that treats the symptoms but not the root cause is simple. Find a Soul Bone, preferably one over ten thousand years old, then use some medicinal herbs to assist in guiding all the toxins into the Soul Bone."

After a pause, he added:

"An External Soul Bone would be best. With an ordinary Soul Bone, once it stores too much poison, you'll have to amputate it and remove it."

"Torso Bones and Skull Bones won't work. Limbs can still be cut off, then regenerated through a Healing Soul Master."

"It will definitely work, but once the Soul Bone fills with poison, it will be ruined."

Dugu Bo fell into thought.

He had overlooked such a method before.

After all, he only had a Head Soul Bone and had never considered transferring the toxins into it.

Thinking about it now, this method would not reduce his cultivation, nor would it affect his strength.

But just as Lu Duzhou had said, it seemed to treat the symptoms but not the root cause.

External Soul Bones were difficult to find, while ordinary Soul Bones might require amputation and replacement later.

Still, it was at least a feasible method.

"Good. Transferring the toxins with this method may take a great deal of time, but it truly works."

"Kid, you've helped me once again. This old man can grant you one more condition."

Dugu Bo was in a good mood.

He had thought that resolving his granddaughter's poisoning would already be a great blessing. He had not expected this additional pleasant surprise.

Although Lu Duzhou's method treated the symptoms but not the root cause, as long as he could find enough limb Soul Bones, surviving would not be a problem in theory.

Dugu Bo had never sought immortality. As long as he could protect Dugu Yan until she grew up, that would be enough.

Lu Duzhou smiled at this.

"Then let's keep that condition in reserve for now."

Happily, Dugu Yan linked one arm through Lu Duzhou's while hugging Dugu Bo with the other.

"Xiao Zhou Didi, you really do have a way. Older Sister likes you so much!"

"Grandfather, are we going back to Heaven Dou City now? I want to take Xiao Zhou Didi around the city and have some fun, then buy him lots of beautiful clothes!"

However, Dugu Bo shook his head. Looking at Lu Duzhou, he said seriously:

"Xiao Zhou, I think I have the Immortal Herbs you mentioned."

"Come, I'll take you to see them!"

At last, he had found it—the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

Lu Duzhou's greatest goal in voluntarily sharing information about Whale Rubber had not been to have Dugu Bo help him obtain Whale Rubber, but to obtain Immortal Herbs.

This was Douluo Continent's greatest opportunity.

Without these Immortal Herbs, the original Shrek Seven Devils would not have had the potential to become gods.

Even Tang San was the same.

When Lu Duzhou had awakened the One Acre of Land Martial Soul with only one level of Innate Soul Power, he had immediately thought of using Immortal Herbs to improve his aptitude.

Later, his aptitude gradually improved through cultivating his Plant-type Martial Soul.

But he still longed for the treasures here.

After all, the benefits of consuming Immortal Herbs were simply enormous.

Dugu Bo flew through Sunset Forest with Lu Duzhou and Dugu Yan. Only after a full two hours did he finally set them down.

They were now inside a valley, with only one opening at the top. Sunlight streamed down as mist rose around them.

It made the place look like a fairyland.

"Wow! It's so beautiful here! Grandfather, why haven't you brought me to such a lovely place before?"

Dugu Yan's voice carried a hint of complaint.

"This is no good place."

Dugu Bo's expression turned solemn. Pointing at the pool in the center, where lava and ice seemed to meet, he said:

"Neither of you must go near it. Even I, a Title Douluo, cannot remain beside it for long."

"The frigid and scorching energies within will cause permanent damage to your bodies."

Frightened, Dugu Yan hurriedly nodded.

Lu Duzhou, however, stared toward it in a daze.

Given his current circumstances, he could not consume the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass or the Infernal Delicate Apricot.

Tang San had been confident in consuming them because he had already reached Level Thirty and possessed an External Soul Bone, the Mysterious Heaven Skill, and numerous Tang Sect techniques.

But if Lu Duzhou wanted to pick and consume those two Poisonous Herbs, he would essentially have to endure them with his body alone.

If he rashly approached, there would be no chance of survival.

His gaze swept across the surrounding flowers and grass before finally landing on an enormous chrysanthemum.

"Huh? Is that the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum!?"

Lu Duzhou deliberately said in surprise.

Dugu Bo nodded.

"That's right. It is precisely the Immortal Herb you mentioned."

Lu Duzhou looked at him in confusion.

"Dugu Mianxia, since you recognize this flower, why haven't you consumed it?"

"Hmph! This old man only knows that it is the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum. I don't know how to use it, so how could I consume it rashly?"

Dugu Bo glared at Lu Duzhou.

"Kid, the Immortal Herbs you spoke of contain immensely powerful energy. If you don't know how to use them, you cannot consume them recklessly either. Otherwise, an Immortal Herb may turn into poison."

No wonder.

Dugu Bo had spent his life using poison, so he understood this matter quite clearly.

Every medicine carried some toxicity.

And for some medicines, if you did not know how to use them—taking internally what should be applied externally—it was no different from taking poison.

Lu Duzhou smiled.

"Rest assured, Your Excellency. I am by no means a reckless person."

"I certainly won't harm Yanyan Jie."

"I want this Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum. Count it as one of the ten Immortal Herbs."

"You have quite a few spiritual medicines here. After I consume this Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum first, I'll search carefully. Perhaps I really can find the Earth Dragon Golden Melon."

Better to secure it first, then consume an Immortal Herb before discussing anything else.

All things considered, the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum best suited his interests and needs, for no reason other than the Adamantine Imperishable Body.
