The Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, Dugu Bo, You Sit on a Treasure Mountain Without Knowing It!

"Not only can I completely resolve the backlash from the venom plaguing you and your granddaughter, but I can also guide you toward the true path of cultivation."

At this point, Yu Nan paused, his tone becoming incomparably confident and arrogant:

"As long as you do as I say, I guarantee that within ten years, you, Dugu Bo, will break through to level ninety-five. Even reaching the level of a ninety-nine-level Peerless Douluo is not impossible!"

After all, the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well was currently in Dugu Bo's possession.

He could simply take any herb suitable for Dugu Bo to cleanse his marrow, refine his body, and boost his potential and spirit power.

Once the Jade Phosphor Snake Venom inside Dugu Bo was resolved, wouldn't that be as easy as reaching for something in one's pocket?

There were so many immortal herbs in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

Aside from those Dugu Yan could use, the rest could only go to Dugu Bo, or be used to trade for benefits and build his own influence.

"As for this girl..."

Yu Nan looked down at his hands, where purple-gold spirit power danced at his fingertips:

"I will personally push her to that position—"

"To become a god!"

BOOM!

These two words exploded in Dugu Bo's ears like a thunderclap.

Becoming a god!

That was the ultimate dream that all spirit masters dared not even hope for in their entire lives!

If anyone else had said this, Dugu Bo would have long since slapped this lunatic to death.

But the person before him...

It was truly hard to say!

Dugu Bo's breathing grew heavy, and the green light in his eyes flickered wildly.

After a long while.

Dugu Bo took a deep breath, bowed deeply toward "Dugu Yan," and spoke with unprecedented respect:

"If the Senior can truly save my granddaughter and lift the curse from my family, then I, Dugu Bo, offer this life to the Senior!"

"Whatever the Senior commands, just say the word!"

Seeing that the old poison master had finally come around, Yu Nan felt a secret thrill.

It was in the bag!

The first step of "bluffing" had been a complete success.

"Easy, easy."

Yu Nan, controlling Dugu Yan's body, snapped his fingers and a mysterious smile curled his lips:

"The most urgent matter now is to quickly stabilize your granddaughter's foundation and nourish her essence."

"If my senses are correct, there is a treasure land in this Sunset Forest where the spiritual energy of heaven and earth gathers, and it is filled with rare flowers and exotic herbs..."

"Which is to say, your old lair."

Yu Nan pointed in a direction deep within the forest:

"Lead the way, to your 'Herb Garden'!"

"That is where we shall truly take flight!"

Although Dugu Bo was suspicious in his heart.

He wondered why this "old dragon" who had just sacrificed itself was so interested in his secret residence used to suppress his toxicity.

But at this moment, he was completely convinced and dared not show the slightest negligence.

"Senior, please follow me!"

Dugu Bo flickered, his spirit power wrapping around "Dugu Yan" as he transformed into a streak of green light.

He sped toward the inverted cone-shaped mountain peak deep within the Sunset Forest.

In just a moment, the two passed through the layers of poison arrays Dugu Bo had set up and arrived at the summit.

Standing on the edge of the peak, they looked down.

Below was an inverted cone-shaped valley, shrouded in clouds and mist.

Yet, this mist was extremely strange, clearly divided into red and white colors.

A terrifying aura, intertwined with extreme cold and extreme heat, could be clearly felt even from the top of the mountain.

"This is the place."

Dugu Bo pointed downward, his tone carrying a hint of self-deprecation:

"This is a treasure land I discovered by chance."

Although that spring water is bizarre—one side boiling like fire, the other cold as ice—it does indeed suppress the flare-ups of the poison within this old man's body.

As for those flowers and grasses, most are highly toxic; I usually just look at them for amusement.

"Look at them for amusement?"

Dugu Yan, currently controlled by Yu Nan, gazed down at the endless expanse of rare flora below.

Her mouth couldn't help but twitch violently, especially when looking at the most prominent plants at the center of the spring.

"What a waste!

This is an absolute, inexcusable waste!"

Yu Nan cursed, his heart aching.

He then controlled Dugu Yan's body and, without a moment's hesitation, leaped directly into the valley.

Dugu Bo was startled and hurriedly followed.

After landing, Yu Nan took a deep breath.

The air was saturated with an impossibly dense concentration of spiritual energy, mingled with the refreshing fragrance emitted by various top-tier medicinal herbs.

Aromatic Silk Beauty, Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid, Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum...

And there, growing on either side of the spring, were the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the Infernal Delicate Apricot!

Each one of these immortal-grade herbs could incite a bloodbath in the outside world.

Yet here, they were discarded among the weeds like common cabbages, some even appearing wilted from a lack of care.

"Old Poison, you sit upon a mountain of gold and silver, yet you go out risking your life for a few copper coins. You even endure the torture of your own poison."

Yu Nan turned around, looked at the bewildered Dugu Bo, and pointed at the red-and-white spring water, his tone filled with frustration:

"You call this a 'bizarre spring'?"

"Open your eyes and look clearly! This is one of the three great treasure basins of heaven and earth: the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well!"

"Cultivating here yields twice the result with half the effort! And the plants growing here, nourished by the creation of heaven and earth... cough, they are the legendary 'Immortal Herbs'!"

"Taking out just one of these could allow an ordinary Spirit Master to be reborn!"

"Im... Immortal Herbs?"

Dugu Bo was left dizzy by this barrage of terminology.

He looked at a Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum near his feet, which looked unremarkable, much like an ordinary chrysanthemum.

Dugu Bo stammered:

"Sen, Senior, is this thing really that miraculous? Aside from being a bit hard, I don't see anything special about it..."

"Nonsense!

That's because you have no idea how to use it!"

Yu Nan rolled his eyes, though he was secretly overjoyed.

I'm rich!

I'm truly rich now!

In the original story, that brat Tang San stripped this place bare, but since I'm here now, there's naturally nothing left for Tang San.

These Immortal Herbs are all prepared for Yan Yan... ahem, I mean, cultivation resources!

"Enough, I'll teach you the specifics later."

Yu Nan looked at the garden full of Immortal Herbs, already having a detailed distribution plan in mind.

"Now, I am going to begin Yan Yan's special training. The first step is to use the water of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well to temper her body!"

As he spoke, the purple-gold light in his eyes gradually faded.

"Old Poison, I am returning the body to Yan Yan. Remember, no matter what happens later, you are not to interfere without my permission!"

As soon as the words fell, Dugu Yan's body shuddered violently, and the previously wild, arrogant aura instantly dissipated.

It was replaced by a clear sense of confusion.

"Mmm..."

Dugu Yan blinked, looking at the unfamiliar surroundings and then at her grandfather, who stood before her looking nervous. She asked in bewilderment:

"Grandfather?

Where are we?

Is this your Herb Garden?"

"Just now... did that voice disappear again?"

Dugu Bo hurriedly stepped forward, asking with concern:

"Yan-yan, how are you feeling now?

Is that... ahem, is that senior still there?"

Dugu Yan was just about to answer when that slightly roguish voice resounded in her mind once more, though this time, only she could hear it:

"Little girl, stop looking; I'm in your Sea of Consciousness."

"Listen, do you want to completely master your current power?

Do you want your grandfather to stop suffering?"

Dugu Yan was startled, hurriedly responding in her heart:

"I do!

I dream of it!

Senior, what should I do?"

Yu Nan's voice carried a hint of a smile:

"It's very simple."

"Do you see that red and white pool in front of you?"

"Strip off your clothes and jump in!"
