When Dugu Bo saw the Soul Rings circling Lin Yuan, an unimaginable expression of terror appeared on his aged face.

"You... you actually have a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring!"

Lin Yuan smiled. "What, scared now? Didn't you just say that whether I could leave Sunset Forest alive was still a question?"

Dugu Bo's expression was like the third meme in your phone—he stood there stupidly, frozen in place.

"Who exactly are you?!"

"I am Lin Yuan, Title Douluo: Asura."

As his voice fell, Lin Yuan shot toward Dugu Bo before him, the hurricane he stirred up instantly reducing every tree within a hundred zhang to ash and making them vanish from the area.

Even the enormous Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor Dugu Bo had summoned was torn to pieces in an instant.

The resulting shockwave sent ripples through the air, while the pillar of light that formed surged into the clouds, condensing the originally clear sky into a black vortex.

Dugu Bo was completely terrified and immediately raised both hands. "Wait, wait!"

Just as the Asura Demon Sword was about to pierce Dugu Bo's body, he finally became afraid and shouted, "I surrender! I surrender!"

Seeing that Dugu Bo's legs had already gone weak from fright, Lin Yuan did not continue his attack and withdrew his Asura Demon Sword martial soul.

He and Dugu Bo had never had the kind of relationship where only one could survive. Besides, he had only come here to make a deal, not to take anyone's life.

As the domain dissipated, Dugu Bo, also a Title Douluo, collapsed onto the ground. Sweat dripped down uncontrollably as he panted and swallowed against his dry mouth.

Lin Yuan looked at Poison Douluo before him. "I am not a bloodthirsty man. I will only take the herbs I need from here, and I can also cure the poison in your body, as payment."

"Detoxify me?" Dugu Bo frowned and instinctively looked at Lin Yuan. "Are you really confident you can cure the deadly poison in my body?"

Dugu Bo asked with skepticism.

After all, he was the Poison Douluo of Douluo Continent. He had used countless poisons throughout his life, yet he had never expected to be undone by the poison within his own body. Even his granddaughter, Dugu Yan, had been afflicted by it.

If he died, it could at least be considered a natural end to his lifespan. But his granddaughter was only in her teens. If she died, how could he face her deceased parents?

Dugu Bo struggled to rise from the ground, his expression solemn. "As long as you can cure the poison in my body and my granddaughter's, you can take as many herbs here as you want. I will never stop you."

"No problem."

Lin Yuan agreed without a second thought. To him, this was nothing more than lifting a finger. No matter how potent the poison in Dugu Bo's body was, it could never compare to the poison of the City of Slaughter.

"Then go in yourself. I'll come find you later. I left the poisonous mist here, but with your strength as a Title Douluo, it won't affect you."

He was seriously injured now and had to find a place to recover. Otherwise, if too much time passed, his foundation might be damaged, causing his cultivation to plummet.

Lin Yuan nodded.

After parting with Dugu Bo, Lin Yuan headed toward the valley. Even experts at the Soul Douluo level would find it difficult to withstand the deadly poison here.

Fortunately, Lin Yuan himself was a Title Douluo, so Dugu Bo's poison had no effect on him.

What came into view was a peculiar hot spring.

The hot spring was not large, but it was divided into two sections. Within the oval pool, the spring water was milky white on one side and crimson red on the other.

Even more strangely, although they occupied the same pool, the two were clearly separated and did not encroach upon one another, always remaining on their respective sides.

The billowing steam rising upward was produced where the two springs met. It continuously drifted into the air before slowly dispersing at the mountain pass.

"So this is the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, one of the three great treasure basins?"

The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well referred to this uniquely blessed spring before him. One spring gave rise to two, its yin and yang forces mutually restraining each other. It was a treasure land that might not form even once in ten million years!

Looking at the unusual hot spring before him, Lin Yuan could not help but marvel. For Douluo Continent to possess such a thing, it truly was an exceedingly rare treasure.

It was said that, long ago, the Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King, two dragon lords among the Nine Great Dragon Kings, had fallen at the same time in Sunset Forest. Their bodies were buried ten thousand zhang beneath the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, which was how the well came to be and nourished all living things.

With the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well suppressing it, Dugu Bo had been able to keep the deadly poison within his body from erupting.

The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well's natural property was to protect the surrounding plants, yet it had become a wonderful life-saving safeguard for Dugu Bo.

Otherwise, with Dugu Bo's condition, he would have died long ago.

Looking at the Immortal Grade Herbs around him, Lin Yuan could not help but marvel at how abundant Dugu Bo's Medicine Garden was. Every single herb here, if taken outside, could shake the entire Douluo Continent.

Of course, that was assuming they knew how to use those herbs.

For example, the herbs consumed by the Shrek disciples—so long as they were properly used, their value could even surpass that of Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts and soul bones.

The Aromatic Silk Beauty Ning Rongrong had consumed back then had helped her become a soul master with the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda, and even break through level one hundred to become a God-level Expert.

Lin Yuan harvested the herbs here. As for the rest, he used a special method to seal them away, preventing Tang San and Tang Hao from picking every herb in the area clean.

That way, even if Tang San came here in the future, he would have no way to take any of the herbs. As for whether Dugu Bo would bring Tang San here, that was his own business.

After dealing with all the herbs, Lin Yuan left Dugu Bo's Medicine Garden. As for the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, he also used a certain special method to extract some of it, intending to bring it back and create a small Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well hot spring in the courtyard.

He might get the chance to soak in a hot spring later.

Upon returning to Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Ye Lingling and the others had already fallen unconscious from exhausting their Soul Power. Fortunately, the Blood Fiend Azure Dragon was here to protect their lives.

The Blood Fiend Azure Dragon lay beside Lin Yuan and said, "Master, these children truly have some courage. Under my pressure, all of their Soul Power rose by one level."

"And that little girl... her martial soul is truly interesting. She can instantly restore her companions to their best condition. Even if they are seriously injured, as long as she wishes it, she can restore them completely."

Lin Yuan said, "That is the charm of a Nine Heart Begonia soul master."

A recommendation for a good friend's book—a very entertaining novel about a Wine Sword Immortal and a Confucian Saint.
