"Don't worry, Grandpa. I'll be fine! Don't forget, I'm the heir chosen by the God of Destruction!"
"Mm, good!"
At last, Yang Wuhui felt a little more at ease.
As a god's heir, surely the god wouldn't stand by if Ziyuan ran into danger, right?
Surely not?
After resting, Yang Ziyuan and the others arrived at Sunset Forest.
"Second Uncle, Sunset Forest is so huge. How are we supposed to find Dugu Bo?"
At that, Yang Wudi smiled and took a snake scale from his robes.
"We'll use this!"
Yang Ziyuan took the scale, puzzled. After examining it carefully, his eyes suddenly widened.
Th-this was a scale from a Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor?
Sure enough, the moment the scale was exposed, a powerful aura appeared in the forest and raced toward them.
Before long, a gray-green-haired old man appeared before them.
"Yang Wudi! I didn't expect to see you here. Have you found an antidote for that poison?"
Yang Wudi didn't answer. Instead, he looked at Yang Ziyuan.
Yang Ziyuan stepped forward. "Senior Dugu, we haven't found an antidote. But I can help you get rid of the poison in your body!"
"Ridiculous! I'm the mighty Poison Douluo. How could I be poisoned? If it weren't for Yang Wudi's sake, you'd already be dead, boy!"
Yang Ziyuan's words enraged Dugu Bo.
"You don't need to get worked up. If you're not poisoned, then why do your head and the soles of your feet feel as if they're being pricked by needles every night at midnight?"
Dugu Bo's eyes immediately filled with murderous intent.
This boy knew about his condition. He couldn't be allowed to live!
But Yang Wudi and Yang Wuhui hurriedly stepped in front of Yang Ziyuan.
"Dugu Bo, what are you trying to do? If he dies, the Breaking Clan won't let you get away with it! Aren't you afraid the Clear Sky Sect will settle the score with you later?"
Seeing that Dugu Bo was about to attack, Yang Wudi could only bluff by invoking the Clear Sky Sect's name.
After all, he wasn't sure whether the god behind Yang Ziyuan would step in!
Dugu Bo frowned deeply.
He had already offended Spirit Hall. If he angered the Clear Sky Sect as well, he would truly be left without allies.
Thinking of his granddaughter, Dugu Bo sighed and suppressed his murderous intent.
"Yang Wudi, since he says he can cure my poison, what proof does he have?"
"Proof? Wasn't it enough that Ziyuan accurately described your condition just now?"
Dugu Bo nodded, then said, "In that case, follow me."
Yang Ziyuan and the others hurried after him.
After passing through the poisonous miasma, Yang Ziyuan finally laid eyes on the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well he had been longing to see.
"What a waste! What a waste!"
Seeing how carelessly Dugu Bo had left the Immortal Herbs unattended, Yang Wudi was furious.
Yang Wuhui quietly shook his head at him, signaling him to stay calm.
After all, their opponent didn't recognize these precious Immortal Herbs. That would make it easier for them to take control of the situation.
"Your name is Yang Ziyuan?"
"Yes."
"Good. If you can get rid of the poison in my body, I, Dugu Bo, will owe you a favor. If there are any medicinal herbs in this garden you need, you may pick them yourself!"
"Thank you, Senior Dugu!"
Yang Ziyuan was overjoyed.
Since Dugu Bo had practically delivered himself to their doorstep, how could he turn down the offer?
After Dugu Bo left, Yang Ziyuan hurriedly called over Yang Wuhui and Yang Wudi. The three of them worked together and quickly packed up the Immortal Herbs from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
"Nephew, wasn't it a bit much to dig up even the Immortal Herb seeds? What if Dugu Bo comes after us later?"
Yang Wudi asked worriedly.
"Don't worry. I've got this!"
Yang Ziyuan looked completely confident.
Seeing that, Yang Wudi said nothing more.
Looking at the spring water in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Yang Ziyuan took out the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Infernal Delicate Apricot, swallowed them both, then jumped in.
Yang Wudi and Yang Wuhui weren't alarmed.
They knew Yang Ziyuan was using the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to refine the two Immortal Herbs.
Meanwhile, in the Divine Realm.
"Hmm? That little fellow has stumbled upon such a remarkable opportunity?"
The moment Yang Ziyuan jumped into the spring water of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, the Destruction God King sensed his situation through the God Trial Mark.
"Destruction, what happened?"
"That little fellow is quite lucky. He's found a treasure trove. The Immortal Herbs there will be enough for him to complete my First Trial quickly."
The Goddess of Life said enviously, "I'm so jealous. You found such an outstanding heir. I wonder where my heir is now."
"Life, don't be impatient. The fortune of Douluo Planet is rising rapidly. You'll surely find a suitable heir too!"
"I hope so!"
Seeing that the Goddess of Life was in low spirits, the Destruction God King turned his attention back to Yang Ziyuan.
"Hmm? How interesting! This place is still suffused with that fellow Asura's divine power!"
After carefully examining it, the Destruction God King discovered that the entire Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was concealed by Asura's divine power.
No wonder he hadn't discovered this treasure trove when he'd surveyed Douluo Planet before.
"Asura?"
At the mention of Asura, a strange light flickered in the Goddess of Life's eyes.
"Why would Asura's divine power be there?"
She was full of curiosity.
"I heard the heir Asura chose was sabotaged by the Rakshasa God! It seems that fellow gave up on him and is looking for a new successor. Perhaps this treasure trove is something Asura left behind to help his new heir grow stronger quickly!"
The Goddess of Life furrowed her brow.
"Will your heir anger him by taking the things from this place?"
"So what if he does? That fellow Asura is clearly abusing his authority for personal gain! This treasure trove even contains the bones of survivors from the War of the Gods!"
"Oh? The bones of survivors from the War of the Gods? Could they be the Nine Sons of the Dragon God?"
A glint appeared in the Goddess of Life's eyes.
"Exactly! It contains the remains of the Ice and Fire Dragons!"
"Then we can't let them go to waste! They were First-Level Gods in life. Their remains should be enough to repair your Scepter of Destruction!"
The Destruction God King nodded without objection.
"During the War of the Gods, the Dragon God destroyed my Scepter of Destruction. Now it'll be repaired with his son's remains. You could say the son is paying his father's debt!"
With that, the Destruction God King turned and left.
Only after his figure had disappeared completely did the Goddess of Life murmur to herself.
"Destruction is finally returning to his old self!"
At the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Yang Ziyuan had finished cultivating the Ice and Fire Forged Golden Body.
"Ziyuan, how is it?"
"Grandpa, my body is strong enough to withstand a five-thousand-year Soul Ring now!"
After all, their whole purpose in coming here was to obtain Immortal Herbs and strengthen Yang Ziyuan's body.
"What do you plan to do next?"
"First, I'll cure Dugu Bo's poison!"
