"Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well? What is the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well?"
Dugu Bo was confused. But from the way Ye Shuyuan and Ye Qingzhou were acting, they seemed to know this place well.
Ye Shuyuan's gaze was fixed straight on the spring at the heart of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. He hadn't looked away for even a moment.
Yet every word he spoke carried unmistakable excitement.
"The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well is a place where Immortal Herbs grow. With Immortal Herbs, I can completely cure the Martial Soul hereditary problems of both your Dugu family and our Ye family!"
Dugu Bo's eyes lit up. He'd lived here for so long, yet had never known that the herbs growing in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well were the Immortal Herbs Ye Shuyuan and his enemy Ju Yueguan of Spirit Hall had spent most of their lives pursuing.
No wonder, no wonder. From the moment he'd arrived, the poison in his body had been suppressed, and he'd even managed to break through to Titled Douluo.
So it was this treasured place that had helped him.
"Old Ye, if you really can use Immortal Herbs to cure the poison affecting my Dugu family, then forget the herbs—I'd gladly give you the whole Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well."
When it came to understanding medicinal herbs, he trusted Ye Shuyuan.
What a shame. If he'd known even a little about Immortal Herbs, he wouldn't have wasted them so badly.
Ye Shuyuan perked up at Dugu Bo's words. "You said it!"
To claim the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, he had to help Dugu Bo cure his poison!
Ye Shuyuan calmed his excitement and said to Dugu Bo, "Then give me some time. This is a place where Immortal Herbs grow, and there are many of them. I'll need some time to examine them."
"Good things come to those who wait."
Dugu Bo nodded. "All right. I'll wait for your good news."
He considered giving Ye Shuyuan the Storage Soul Tool where he kept his belongings. But then he thought of Ye Shuyuan's wealth—he probably had more Storage Soul Tools than anyone could count.
Ye Shuyuan turned to Ye Qingzhou. "Qingzhou, come with me."
"All right, Grandpa."
Ye Qingzhou followed behind Ye Shuyuan as he led him through the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
"Oh my goodness! Oh my goodness! The Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, River of Oblivion Autumn Dew, Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower, Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, Infernal Delicate Apricot!"
"Wait! Is that the legendary divine-grade Immortal Herb, Lovesick Heartbreak Red?!"
Faced with the dazzling array of Immortal Herbs spread across the ground, Ye Shuyuan was so thrilled he started jumping up and shouting on the spot.
The one he loved most among them all was the finest of the Immortal Herbs, Lovesick Heartbreak Red.
Ye Qingzhou wasn't interested in the Immortal Herbs that had appeared in the original story.
What interested him most was that, besides the Immortal Herbs featured in the original story, there were many others he'd never seen before.
As Ye Qingzhou watched, Ye Shuyuan crouched on the ground, staring at a small white flower with no leaves, resembling a peony. Its stem was rooted in a rock.
His rough hands gently caressed the petals of Lovesick Heartbreak Red. His eyes brimmed with contentment, and his heart was utterly at ease.
Ye Qingzhou's mouth twitched. He understood why seeing the legendary Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well had made his grandfather so happy, but this was a bit too much.
It was like Ju Yueguan of Spirit Hall, who'd sensed Dai Mubai absorbing the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum and gone wild with excitement.
They were like fanatical fans who'd spotted their idol at a live concert.
"This Old Ye..." Dugu Bo, who knew nothing about Immortal Herbs, had no idea why Ye Shuyuan was acting this way.
If no one else were here, it would be one thing. But what would outsiders think of Ye Shuyuan?
How shocking! A Titled Douluo was so infatuated with medicinal herbs.
"Grandpa, Grandpa."
Ye Qingzhou crouched down and poked Ye Shuyuan on the shoulder.
"Shouldn't we look for Immortal Herbs first?"
Reminded by Ye Qingzhou, Ye Shuyuan snapped out of his fascination with Lovesick Heartbreak Red.
He gave a light cough to ease his embarrassment. "Where would you like to start learning about the Immortal Herbs?"
Ye Qingzhou swept his gaze across the entire Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, finally settling on the Immortal Herbs that hadn't appeared in the original story.
He pointed toward the heart of a flower with nine golden stamens.
"Grandpa, let's start over there."
Ye Shuyuan followed the direction Ye Qingzhou was pointing and spotted an Immortal Herb with golden stamens lying not far from the icy spring.
The Immortal Herb stood about three feet tall, with a reddish-brown stem. Nine star-shaped silver-white spots covered its leaves, arranged in the pattern of the Nine Palaces. Its flowers grew in clusters of nine, with petals that faded from white to pale pink and nine golden stamens in each flower's heart.
Light flickered in Ye Shuyuan's eyes. The more he said about the herb, the more excited he became. "This is the Silver Star Begonia. It won't help your Martial Soul at all, but it could be of great use to our Nine Heart Begonia."
"After you take it, it can reconnect severed meridians, improve the completeness of your Martial Soul, extend a Soul Master's life, and strengthen healing Soul Skills."
The Silver Star Begonia might help their Nine Heart Begonia lineage solve the problems with their Martial Soul, but no one had ever tested it.
He was already old. Absorbing an Immortal Herb wouldn't help him. The younger the person, the greater the effect.
He might as well leave this herb to his granddaughter, Ye Lingling.
It would also give their Nine Heart Begonia lineage a chance to continue.
As Ye Qingzhou listened to Ye Shuyuan's explanation, he recorded the Immortal Herbs they passed along the way.
Ye Qingzhou looked toward the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Infernal Delicate Apricot. "Grandpa, I want to try those two Immortal Herbs."
Ye Shuyuan looked at the large white flower, its chill radiating outward, and the fiery red Immortal Herb with its scorching orange-red flames.
"The Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Infernal Delicate Apricot are both good choices. Absorbing them together will give you the Ice and Fire Golden Body, making you immune to both water and fire."
"If you face a fire-attribute Soul Master in the future, you'll be able to ignore their fire-attribute attacks completely."
Ye Shuyuan paused there.
He looked at the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Infernal Delicate Apricot, lost in thought.
Then he turned to Ye Qingzhou. "You need to think carefully before absorbing an Immortal Herb. You can only absorb one. The Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Infernal Delicate Apricot must be taken together, so they count as one."
"But if you absorb them, and later come across another suitable Immortal Herb..."
Ye Shuyuan hadn't finished speaking when Ye Qingzhou cut him off. "Grandpa, that standard is for ordinary people. Do I look like an ordinary person to you?"
If Tang San could absorb the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, Infernal Delicate Apricot, and River of Oblivion Autumn Dew in the original story, then why couldn't he?
Ye Qingzhou's words made Ye Shuyuan realize he'd been worrying too much.
It was true. His grandson had never been ordinary.
"All right."
He strode over to the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Infernal Delicate Apricot and picked them both.
Ye Qingzhou accepted the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Infernal Delicate Apricot in both hands and began consuming them.
