"Didn't you say you needed herbs to suppress my poison? That's easy. I have a medicine garden in the Sunset Forest, and many herbs grow there. I'm sure there will be what you need."

The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, finally, the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

Hearing Dugu Bo mention the medicine garden in the Sunset Forest, Su Ming was ecstatic. "Finally, we're talking about the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. It was worth all my effort to explain the principles of Martial Soul Evolution to you."

As soon as Dugu Bo finished speaking, he stood up, ready to take Dugu Yan and Su Ming there immediately.

Seeing this, Su Ming quickly called out to Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan, who were walking out.

"Senior Dugu, wait. I need to write a letter to my teacher so he doesn't worry. We won't be back for a while."

Su Ming then went to the study to write a letter, explaining that he would be out for a month of training and that the Dean and the others shouldn't worry.

Dugu Bo watched Su Ming come out with a letter and said, "Let's go, kid. I'll take you and Yan Yan there now."

"Okay, Senior Dugu." Su Ming quickly placed the envelope on the living room table and used a teacup to hold it down.

After putting it away, the three of them walked out. Dugu Bo, carrying Dugu Yan and holding Su Ming, flew directly towards the Sunset Forest.

Su Ming was very unhappy about being carried by Dugu Bo all the way, but he couldn't do anything about it. After all, Su Ming had made Dugu Bo so flustered earlier that his poison almost became uncontrollable. So, Su Ming let him carry him.

Half an hour later, Dugu Bo brought Su Ming and Dugu Yan to the Sunset Forest. After flying for a while longer, a large green poisonous mist appeared in Su Ming's vision.

Su Ming knew that the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, one of the three treasure troves formed by the fall of the Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King, was behind the poisonous mist.

Dugu Bo protected the three of them with his Soul Power and passed directly through the poisonous mist. The scene before them opened up, yet it was also shocking!

It was a bowl-shaped valley. The area at the bottom of the valley was not large, but it presented an extremely opposing and strange sight!

Su Ming turned his gaze to the scene in the valley before him and found that it was the same as in the original work, which surprised him greatly.

In the center of the valley was a spring with a diameter of about twenty meters. The spring was very peculiar.

On one side was a spring with a diameter of about ten meters. The spring water emitted a blue light, constantly churning up ice-blue splashes. The water vapor rose, emitting extreme coldness. Thick blue ice crystals had formed around the spring. This was the Cold Extreme Yin Spring!

On the other side was a spring of the same size, but the water was blood-red and boiling, emitting scorching heat that made the surrounding rocks glow red. This was the Scorching Yang Spring!

The two extremely opposing springs did not clash in the center of the valley floor. Instead, they merged eerily, with each containing a part of the other, forming a winding boundary line, like Tai Chi, with red and blue occupying half each.

Su Ming looked again at the boundary of the spring and saw a fairy grass standing on each side. He assumed they must be the "Infernal Delicate Apricot" and the "Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass."

Seeing this, Su Ming summoned his Martial Soul and asked Dugu Bo to throw him down.

"Senior Dugu, hurry and put me down, quickly, quickly!"

Seeing that Su Ming had summoned his Martial Soul and looked anxious, Dugu Bo let go.

After Dugu Bo released him, Su Ming activated his second skill, Lightning Flash, and instantly flashed down. Upon landing, he saw the fairy grass and excitedly ran towards a large chrysanthemum.

This chrysanthemum had a large flower, was deep purple all over, and its petals were covered with fine fuzz, emitting no fragrance. The tall pistil stood in the center, its tip emitting a faint golden light, like carved metal. This was the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum.

Seeing Su Ming go down, Dugu Bo also went down with Dugu Yan in his arms. As soon as they stood still, they saw Su Ming excitedly looking at a chrysanthemum.

Dugu Bo walked behind Su Ming and asked with a smile.

"Su Ming, kid, how is it? My medicine garden is not bad, right? The chrysanthemum you see, I know it's the Old Chrysanthemum, Chrysanthemum Pass's Martial Soul, the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum."

"Don't just stare. Are there any herbs suitable for suppressing poison?"

Su Ming turned his head to look at Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan and said:

"Senior Dugu, based on my observation of your body and your physical condition, I know you have a treasure land that can suppress poison. I've just looked at the herbs here, and they can suppress your poison."

Hearing that Su Ming could suppress it, Dugu Bo eagerly said to Su Ming.

"Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up and prepare the medicine to detoxify me and Yan Yan."

Su Ming said to Dugu Bo with a serious expression.

"Wait a moment, Senior Dugu, I have a question for you."

"When did you acquire this treasure land?"

Dugu Bo said, "The original guardian here was a top Soul Beast, the Medusa Queen, with over 70,000 years of cultivation. My ninth Soul Ring came from her."

"After absorbing the Soul Ring and Soul Bone of this Medusa Queen, my Martial Soul Hall underwent a change, evolving from the Jade Phosphorous Serpent to the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor."

Speaking of this, Dugu Bo asked back, "What is it, Su Ming? Do you know what this place is?"

Su Ming did not answer, but instead asked Dugu Bo a question.

"Senior Dugu, the growth rate of the herbs here should be several times faster than outside, right?"

Dugu Bo said with slight dissatisfaction.

"Yes, when I discovered this place, I was quite curious why there were so many high-year herbs here. I specifically tested it, and the growth rate inside is ten times that of the outside."

Hearing Dugu Bo's slightly dissatisfied words, Su Ming's face was first filled with regret, reluctance, and unwillingness. Finally, his expression became firm, and he looked at Dugu Bo seriously.

"Senior Dugu, do you want to know what this place is called? I can tell you, and I can even tell you the names and effects of the herbs you don't recognize."

"But"

"Before I tell you, you must swear by your Martial Soul that after I tell you the effects of these herbs, you will not harm Su Ming in any way. Those who violate this will have their Martial Soul shattered and die, and their descendants will be wiped out."

Hearing this, Dugu Bo, who was already somewhat dissatisfied, heard "descendants wiped out" and wanted to beat Su Ming up to vent his anger. However, he thought again: "If Su Ming hadn't appeared, I would have died soon, and Yan Yan's Martial Soul is also poisoned. Whether this Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul can be passed down is still uncertain."

Dugu Bo calmed down and accepted the condition.

"I, Dugu Bo, swear by my Martial Soul that if I go against..."

After Dugu Bo finished his oath, he looked at Su Ming and said:

"Alright, now you can tell me."

Su Ming didn't speak, but glanced at Dugu Yan, his meaning as clear as could be.

Dugu Yan understood Su Ming's gaze instantly and immediately said:

"I, Dugu Yan, swear by my Martial Soul that if I go against..."

Seeing that both of them had finished their oaths, Su Ming immediately broke into a brilliant smile and said to Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan:

"Oh my!, Senior Dugu, Miss Dugu Yan, this matter, it's just too big, I'm truly worried."

"This place is called the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well."

Upon hearing "Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well," Dugu Bo looked at the springs again. The name was indeed quite fitting.
