The Ice Fire Yin Yang Eye Emerges, the Ye Family of the Medicine Refining Clan

As an orphan, Teacher Qian Xunji and her Junior Brother Yun Yuan were the people closest to her. If either of them were threatened, her Death Spider Emperor would bare its claws.

Seeing that Yun Yuan and Bibi Dong both understood, Qian Xunji nodded and began dismissing them.

"Xiao Yuan, Teacher will send people to scour the Continent for the Alchemy Knowledge you need and deliver it to you. Just focus on your cultivation without worry."

"Alright, you may both leave now. Go back and cultivate diligently."

Hearing this, Yun Yuan and Bibi Dong left the Papal Palace and returned to their palace on Papal Palace Back Mountain.

For some time afterward, Yun Yuan did three things every day: Meditation Cultivation, comprehending the Spear Dao Realm, and studying the currently known Alchemy Knowledge of Douluo Continent.

As for the search for the Ice Fire Yin Yang Eye, it also gradually made progress under Qian Xunji's arrangements. Before long, this treasured land where ice and fire coexisted might be found.

Half a month later.

News concerning the Ice Fire Yin Yang Eye had been sent back to Spirit Hall. The instant Qian Xunji received it, he summoned Yun Yuan.

"Xiao Yuan, the Ice Fire Yin Yang Eye you mentioned has been found. Shall Teacher take you to see that treasure land now?"

The moment he saw Yun Yuan, Qian Xunji impatiently told him the news.

With the Ice Fire Yin Yang Eye, Spirit Hall's foundation would grow even stronger. Moreover, if Yun Yuan could use Immortal Grass to refine pills in the future, he too might have a chance of reaching the Peerless Douluo realm.

Once Yun Yuan understood, a trace of excitement appeared in his eyes. Perfect—he could inspect this treasure land where ice and fire coexisted and gain a deeper understanding of Immortal Grass's properties. This would be of great help when he used Immortal Grass to refine pills in the future.

"Teacher, let's go."

After a long while, Qian Xunji brought Yun Yuan flying all the way from Spirit City to Sunset Forest, arriving at the entrance to the Ice Fire Yin Yang Eye.

Spirit Hall members filled the area around the Ice Fire Yin Yang Eye. Without exception, they were Soul Saints and Soul Douluo-level powerhouses, showing just how much Qian Xunji valued this treasure land.

They entered through the entrance and proceeded deeper inside. At its very center lay an oval pool of spring water, red and blue in color, radiating an aura of extreme cold and blazing heat.

Sensing the terrifying energy radiating from the spring water, Qian Xunji furrowed his brows slightly. Looking at Yun Yuan beside him, he cautioned:

"Xiao Yuan, do not get too close to that spring water. It's very dangerous."

"I understand, Teacher. I know this place fairly well."

Having read the original novel, he naturally knew the terror of the Ice Fire Spring Water. Without using the Infernal Delicate Apricot and Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass to forge an Ice Fire Golden Body, Even a Title Douluo who fell into it would be eroded by the icy cold and blazing heat within the Ice Fire Spring Water.

Yun Yuan then swept his gaze across the entire Ice Fire Yin Yang Eye. He could see most of the precious flowers and herbs recorded in the Myriad Ancient Precious Herbs Record here.

There were also quite a few Celestial Herbs. Many of the Immortal Grass he had previously learned about were now visible before his very eyes.

"Well? Xiao Yuan, roughly how many Celestial Herbs are there here?"

After Yun Yuan made a circuit around the Ice Fire Yin Yang Eye, Qian Xunji impatiently looked toward him, wanting to know the answer.

According to Yun Yuan's description, if a young Soul Master consumed a single Immortal Grass, they would have a chance to break through to the Peerless Douluo realm in the future.

"From what I can see so far, around twenty or so."

"Besides the Celestial Herbs, there are also countless precious flowers and herbs. Several of them are already extremely close to the celestial grade in quality."

Yun Yuan was exceptionally satisfied with the varieties and quantity of precious herbs within the Ice Fire Yin Yang Eye. In a word, treasures were everywhere.

These precious herbs could all serve as ingredients for the pills Yun Yuan refined in the early stages, allowing him to perfect his pill-refining methods.

Yun Yuan then planned to pick some lower-quality precious herbs and bring them back, intending to use them to thoroughly test his pill-refining methods.

Once he gradually perfected those methods, he could begin refining pills with Immortal Grass. At that time, he could also greatly raise his Soul Power Level.

With that in mind, Yun Yuan informed Qian Xunji and began gathering some lower-quality precious herbs from the Ice Fire Yin Yang Eye to use for pill refinement after returning to Spirit Hall.

Once he had finished gathering them, Yun Yuan saw that his purpose for coming had been fulfilled, so he returned to Spirit City with Qian Xunji.

As for the Celestial Herbs, it was better to leave them in the Ice Fire Yin Yang Eye. Once his pill-refining methods were perfected, it would be time to use those Celestial Herbs as ingredients.

One month later, at Yun Yuan Palace.

At that moment, an Alchemy Furnace stood within the palace, with all kinds of rare herbs placed beside it.

Besides that, assorted books were scattered across the palace floor, most of them related to alchemy.

"Sigh, there's been some progress, but it's too slow. At this rate, even after several years, I might not be able to perfect it."

Yun Yuan held a book in his hand, reading as he sighed.

Over the past month, he had gained some understanding of pill refinement and was already able to personally refine some low-grade pills.

But this was far from enough for Yun Yuan. What he sought was refining pills with Immortal Grass. Only then could he truly be considered a master alchemist.

"I should ask Teacher and see whether he can find an alchemy expert."

After arriving at the Papal Palace, Yun Yuan saw a familiar figure: Yue Guan, who had given him the Myriad Ancient Precious Herbs Record to read.

Beside Yue Guan stood a middle-aged man radiating a gloomy aura. With just one glance, Yun Yuan recognized him as Yue Guan's close friend, Gui Mei—the future Ghost Douluo.

Seeing Yun Yuan arrive, Qian Xunji's eyes held a trace of curiosity.

"Xiao Yuan, have you encountered a problem with pill refinement?"

Hearing this, Yun Yuan nodded.

"Teacher, do you know whether there are any forces on the Continent that specialize in alchemy? I want to learn from them. That way, I might be able to perfect my pill-refining methods sooner."

After saying that, Yun Yuan looked at Qian Xunji with an expectant gaze.

Seeing this, Qian Xunji scratched his head. Did the Breaking Clan count as being skilled in medicine refining? But even if the Breaking Clan excelled at it, the Martial Soul Hall and the Clear Sky Sect were like fire and water.

As an affiliated sect of the Clear Sky Sect, how could the Breaking Clan possibly teach their true skills to Yun Yuan, the Martial Soul Hall Saint Son? Wouldn't that be aiding the enemy?

Just as Qian Xunji was mulling it over in his mind, Yue Guan, who stood beside Yun Yuan, rose to his feet and offered a suggestion.

"As for those skilled in medicine refining, Saint Son, I, Yue Guan, happen to know a thing or two."

At those words, the other three present all turned their eyes toward Yue Guan, wanting to hear his thoughts.

Seeing everyone looking at him, Yue Guan lightly coughed twice before slowly beginning:

"From what I know, there is a low-profile medicine refining clan on the Continent that has never made much of a name for itself. Their family has possessed a unique understanding of medicine refining for generations."

"That medicine refining clan is the Ye Family of Heaven Dou City's Nine Hearts Begonia Family."
