He Is the Person Grandma Spoke Of

"So this is the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well," Ye Yuan exclaimed, staring at the lake surface that was half red and half blue.

"Alright, tell me, how do you intend to treat me?" Dugu Bo asked, his voice sounding aged.

"I'll have to keep you in suspense for now, Senior," Ye Yuan said with a smile.

"Fine, fine, fine. Then Yanyan and I will wait nearby. Everything here is yours to use."

With that, he took Dugu Yan and left.

"It truly lives up to its reputation as the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well; the area is filled with precious immortal herbs."

Ye Yuan walked to higher ground, where two distinct energies rushed toward him from either side.

One half was scorching hot, the other icy cold.

Ye Yuan focused his gaze and saw two different flowers growing on either side of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

If his guess was correct, those were the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the Infernal Delicate Apricot.

As long as he consumed these two immortal herbs, he would be able to forge a body immune to all poisons, making it much easier to deal with poison-wielding opponents in the future.

He took out the Soul Tool he had crafted over the past few days; this Soul Tool had a storage space of 10*10*10.

Furthermore, it was capable of storing living things.

His purpose in coming here, aside from persuading Dugu Bo to join the Martial Soul Hall, was to acquire the immortal herbs found here.

That's right, he intended to leave not a single one of the immortal herbs behind.

What was that saying about taking what is abundant so that descendants may have an endless supply?

If he didn't take them all, was he supposed to leave them for that Tang San to turn into his family's private garden?

Ye Yuan wanted to see if, without these immortal herbs, the likes of Dai Mubai would still be able to participate in the Sea God Trial.

Although the talents of Ma Hongjun, Dai Mubai, Oscar, and Zhu Zhuqing were decent, they were only slightly more outstanding than the average genius.

Without the immortal-grade herbs provided by Tang San, their innate talent alone would never be enough to pass the Sea God Trial.

After all, this was an era of brilliant stars and emerging geniuses; there was no shortage of talent in this age.

Thinking of this, Ye Yuan recalled another person.

It was Shui Bing'er, who had nearly broken Tang San's defenses. If he could align her with the Martial Soul Hall, the organization would possess a massive advantage in the coming wars.

After all, beyond the battles between top-tier soul masters, there were also the battles between the soldiers below.

No matter how formidable an army might be, they still had to rely on the terrain.

As long as he found a way to bring Shui Bing'er over, the soldiers of the Martial Soul Hall would gain a massive advantage over them.

However, Ye Yuan was in no rush to find Shui Bing'er right now; his top priority was to consume these two immortal herbs first.

Then, he would pack all the immortal herbs here into his own Soul Tool.

Ye Yuan's Bloodthirsty Sword was impervious to both ice and fire, making it the perfect tool for harvesting the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the Infernal Delicate Apricot.

"Clang!" The Bloodthirsty Sword swung toward the roots of the two immortal herbs, digging them up along with their soil.

Ye Yuan carefully circulated his soul power, drawing the two immortal herbs toward himself.

"Such tyrannical fire poison!" The Infernal Delicate Apricot was constantly radiating fire poison into its surroundings; if not for the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass nearby to counteract it, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Ye Yuan severed the roots of the two immortal herbs and stored them in his storage Soul Tool.

Then, he swallowed both immortal herbs into his stomach.

In an instant, two diametrically opposed forces began to rampage through Ye Yuan's body.

One moment he was freezing cold, the next he was burning with heat.

Ye Yuan immediately sat cross-legged and began to absorb the medicinal power.

"Grandfather, is he going to be alright?!" Dugu Yan, hiding to the side, asked with a worried expression.

Dugu Bo stroked his beard, his hands behind his back, and said with some astonishment, "Good lad!"

"I had noticed those two immortal herbs long ago, but their extreme and polarized power left me at a loss for how to utilize them."

"I never expected this boy to come up with a method."

"How did I not think of that?" Dugu Bo stroked his beard again, lost in thought.

Dugu Yan called out, "Grandfather!"

"Oh, oh, oh! Yanyan, your grandfather is just marveling at this boy's intellect."

"Rest assured, although the boy looks to be in a bad state, he is actually fundamentally fine."

"Even though their attributes clash, they have formed a state of extreme equilibrium within his body."

"Even if he can't hold on, I still have the chance to step in and save him."

Only then did Dugu Yan set her mind at ease.

Ye Yuan continued to absorb the two forces, and after only a moment, the two energies within his body gradually calmed down.

His soul power also began to climb steadily.

Level 30... Level 34... Level 36... Level 38... Level 39.

His spirit power surged to level 39 in an instant!

Even Dugu Bo, standing to the side, widened his eyes in shock.

He had never seen such a speed of leveling up in his life.

One had to know that the higher a spirit master's level, the harder it was to advance.

A leveling speed like Ye Yuan's was simply unheard of.

Who in the world levels up nine times in a single moment?!

Are you playing a damn video game or what?!

Dugu Bo even began to suspect whether this kid was some old monster reincarnated.

It wouldn't be long before Ye Yuan became famous throughout the Douluo Continent.

He glanced at his granddaughter.

"Yan'er, when the time comes, Grandfather will create opportunities for you."

"You must seize them well."

"With this kid's talent, he will likely have many admirers in the future."

"Your grandmother's words might have just been a joke, and besides, this kid's name doesn't match; the person your grandmother spoke of wasn't named Heavenly Court."

"If you want to back out, there is still time, so you don't get hurt by the word 'love' in the future."

Dugu Yan shook her head, gripping the eyebrow pencil in her hand tightly; the pencil looked somewhat worn.

"Grandfather, Grandmother's words cannot be wrong."

"She said back then that you would receive help from a young man, and hasn't that already been verified now?"

"Besides, this man even drew my eyebrows for me."

"It is him, it cannot be wrong."

Dugu Bo sighed and said, "Sigh..."

"Your grandmother was rambling in her later years; she might have just been talking nonsense."

"It's not possible that this kid gave a fake name, is it?"

"Forget it... since you want this, Grandfather will help you."

Just as Ye Yuan was about to finish, his consciousness suddenly plunged into darkness.

When he opened his eyes again, a snowy landscape came into view.

Douluo Continent, former site of Martial Soul Hall, Heavenly Court.

"Where is this?"

Ye Yuan opened his eyes, looking around in a daze.

"That is!" Not far from Ye Yuan, a person suddenly appeared, and that person looked exactly like him!

The difference was that the face of that Ye Yuan lacked a bit of high-spirited vigor and possessed more vicissitudes.

Just as Ye Yuan wanted to walk over, he was blocked by an inexplicable force.

It was the Golden Man who had helped him twice before.

"Are you telling me to just be a quiet observer?"

The figure nodded and disappeared once more.

"Fine, I'll see what exactly is going on here."

Ye Yuan slowly followed him.

"Teacher!" A youthful and beautiful blonde girl ran toward Ye Yuan, looking to be about eighteen or nineteen years old.

That Ye Yuan opened his arms, "Little Xue, why are you here?"

The girl didn't answer, jumping directly into his embrace.

The observing Ye Yuan's pupils constricted sharply; he recognized this girl, even though she looked slightly more immature compared to the one he remembered.

But her exquisite features allowed him to recognize her at a glance.

She was the woman Ye Yuan had dreamed of while at the hotel with Ning Rongrong.

"That girl called him teacher; could it be that this Little Xue before me, the yandere Little Xue from my dream, and the apprentice Little Xue I saw in my dream while soaking in the medicinal bath are all the same person!"
