"Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well? What is the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well?"

Dugu Bo was puzzled, but looking at the expressions of Ye Shuyuan and Ye Qingzhou, they seemed to know this place quite well.

Ye Shuyuan's gaze was fixed squarely on the spring eye of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, never shifting even half a step away.

Yet every word he spoke was forceful, carrying a clear sense of excitement.

"The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, the land that nurtures immortal herbs. As long as I have these immortal herbs, I can one hundred percent cure the martial soul hereditary issues of your Dugu family and our Ye family!"

Dugu Bo's eyes lit up. He had lived here for so long, yet he had absolutely no idea that the herbs within this Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well were the very immortal herbs that Ye Shuyuan and his enemy from Martial Soul Hall, Ju Yueguan, had spent most of their lives pursuing.

No wonder, no wonder that as soon as he arrived here, the toxins in his body had remained suppressed, and he had even successfully broken through to the Title Douluo realm.

So it was this treasure land that had been helping him all along.

"Old Ye, if you can truly rely on these immortal herbs to cure the toxin issues of my Dugu family, never mind the herbs—even if I gave you the entire Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, it wouldn't be a problem."

When it came to the understanding of medicinal herbs, he still trusted Ye Shuyuan quite a bit.

It was a pity; if he had known some common knowledge about immortal herbs, these treasures wouldn't have been wasted like this.

Hearing Dugu Bo's words, Ye Shuyuan became instantly invigorated: "That is what you said."

For the sake of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, he had to help Dugu Bo treat his toxins!

Ye Shuyuan calmed his excited emotions and spoke to Dugu Bo indifferently: "Then just give me some time. This is a land of immortal herbs, and there are many of them; I need a period of time to examine them."

"Haste makes waste."

Dugu Bo nodded: "Fine, then I shall wait for your good news."

He thought about whether he should hand over his storage Soul Tool containing his goods to Ye Shuyuan, but then he remembered Ye Shuyuan's assets—the man had more storage Soul Tools than one could count.

Ye Shuyuan looked at Ye Qingzhou and said: "Xiaozhou, come with me."

"Alright, Grandfather."

Ye Qingzhou followed behind Ye Shuyuan, walking through the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well under his guidance.

"Heavens, heavens! Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, River of Oblivion Autumn Dew, Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower, Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, Infernal Delicate Apricot."

"Wait, this is actually the legendary divine-grade immortal herb, Lovesick Heartbreak Red!"

Facing the dazzling array of immortal herbs on the ground, Ye Shuyuan was so excited and thrilled that he began jumping on the spot and shouting wildly.

Among them, the one he loved most was the pinnacle of all immortal herbs, the Lovesick Heartbreak Red.

Ye Qingzhou did not care much for these immortal herbs that had appeared in the original story.

What interested him most was that besides the herbs shown in the original, there were many here he had never seen before.

Under Ye Qingzhou's gaze, Ye Shuyuan crawled on the ground, his eyes fixed on a small white flower with no leaves, its stem rooted in a rock, resembling a peony in full bloom.

His rough hands gently stroked the petals of the Lovesick Heartbreak Red, his eyes filled with contentment, his mood extremely uplifted.

Ye Qingzhou's mouth twitched. He understood his grandfather's excitement at seeing the legendary Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, but this was just too crazy.

It was just like Ju Yueguan from Martial Soul Hall, who had sensed Dai Mubai absorbing the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum.

Their situation was just like that of fanatical fans attending a concert offline and seeing their idol appear.

"This old Ye..." Dugu Bo, who had no concept of immortal herbs, completely failed to understand Ye Shuyuan's behavior.

If there were no other people here, he wondered how outsiders would view Ye Shuyuan.

Shocking—a powerhouse at the Title Douluo level was actually so infatuated with medicinal herbs.

"Grandfather, Grandfather."

Ye Qingzhou squatted down and tapped Ye Shuyuan's shoulder with his finger.

"Should we start looking for the immortal herbs now?"

Reminded by Ye Qingzhou, Ye Shuyuan woke up from his obsession with the Lovesick Heartbreak Red.

He coughed lightly to ease his embarrassment: "Where would you like to start learning about the immortal herbs?"

Ye Qingzhou's gaze swept across the entire Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, finally settling on those immortal herbs that had not appeared in the original story.

He reached out and pointed toward an immortal herb with nine golden stamens in its heart.

"Grandfather, let's start there."

Ye Shuyuan followed the direction Ye Qingzhou was pointing and discovered the immortal herb with golden stamens lying not far from the ice spring.

This immortal herb was about three feet tall, with a reddish-brown stem, and its leaves were covered in nine star-shaped silver-white spots arranged in a nine-palace pattern. It bloomed in clusters of nine, the petals transitioning from white to pale pink, with nine golden stamens in the center.

A bright light flickered in Ye Shuyuan's eyes, and he became more excited as he spoke: "This is the Silver Star Begonia. It has no help for your martial soul, but it has great use for our Nine Heart Begonia."

"Consuming it can allow severed meridians to reconnect, improve the completeness of the martial soul, and enhance the soul master's life force and healing soul skills."

This Silver Star Begonia might actually help their Nine Heart Begonia lineage solve the problems inherent to their martial soul, but no one had ever experimented with it.

He was already advanced in age; absorbing the immortal herb would be of no help to him, and the younger one was, the better the effect of the herb.

It would be better to leave this immortal herb for his granddaughter, Ye Lingling.

It could be considered leaving a legacy for their Nine Heart Begonia.

Ye Qingzhou listened to Ye Shuyuan's explanations while recording the immortal herbs they encountered along the way.

Ye Qingzhou cast his gaze toward the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the Infernal Delicate Apricot, saying, "Grandfather, I want to try those two immortal herbs."

Ye Shuyuan looked at the large, octagonal white flower radiating a chilling aura and the fiery red herb pulsing with scorching orange-red flames:

"The Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the Infernal Delicate Apricot—these two are indeed excellent choices. Absorbing them simultaneously grants the Ice and Fire Body Tempering, rendering one immune to both water and fire."

"In the future, should you face a fire-attribute Spirit Master, you will be able to directly ignore their fire-based attacks."

At this point, Ye Shuyuan paused slightly.

He stared at the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the Infernal Delicate Apricot, lost in thought.

He looked at Ye Qingzhou and spoke: "You must consider the absorption of immortal herbs with great caution. One can only absorb a single immortal herb; the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the Infernal Delicate Apricot are inseparable and can be treated as one unit for absorption."

"But if you absorb them, should you encounter a more suitable immortal herb later on..."

Before Ye Shuyuan could finish, Ye Qingzhou interrupted him: "Grandfather, your standard is based on ordinary people. Do I look like an ordinary person to you?"

Since Tang San could absorb the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, the Infernal Delicate Apricot, and the River of Oblivion Autumn Dew in the original story, why couldn't he?

Ye Qingzhou's words made Ye Shuyuan realize he had been overthinking things.

Indeed, his grandson had never been an ordinary person.

"Very well."

He strode over to the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the Infernal Delicate Apricot and plucked them both.

Ye Qingzhou took the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the Infernal Delicate Apricot with both hands and began to consume them.
