Entering the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well

Lin Huai suppressed the excitement in his heart and spoke with a calm expression:

"Since Senior Poison Douluo passed by here in search of medicinal herbs, you must have already collected quite a few."

"I wonder if I might take a look at the herbs you have gathered? That way, I can see if there is a better method for detoxification."

Dugu Bo looked proud and flicked his large sleeve.

"I have a small herb garden containing most of the medicinal plants; Young Master, feel free to use whatever you need."

"However, could you prioritize helping my little granddaughter resolve the effects of the Jade Phosphor Snake poison?"

Lin Huai revealed a smile.

Dugu Bo should be glad that he was not like Tang San.

He would not eat and take from Dugu Bo, refusing to give him immortal herbs, nor would he fail to thoroughly resolve the flaws in his martial soul.

"We are all on the same side; Senior, just bring your granddaughter over later."

Under Dugu Bo's guidance, Qian Daoliu brought Lin Huai to a valley filled with poisonous mist.

"Great High Priest, I have an antidote for this poisonous mist. Does Young Master Lin need to take it?"

Dugu Bo opened the Soul Tool he carried with him, pulling out a small glazed bottle.

Qian Daoliu released his soul power into the mist, sensing it carefully.

"No need. This level of poisonous mist cannot penetrate my soul power barrier."

"Continue leading the way."

Dugu Bo then led the two of them through several twists and turns, quickly breaking through the shroud of poisonous mist.

Once they entered the valley, after Qian Daoliu dispersed his soul power barrier, Lin Huai smelled a slightly pungent odor.

Seeing Lin Huai frown, Dugu Bo was afraid he would misunderstand and think he was being poisoned.

"Young Master Lin, do not worry."

"In this small herb garden of mine, there are two springs—one extremely cold and one extremely hot. This is just the smell of sulfur; it is not poisonous."

Lin Huai nodded thoughtfully.

"Senior Poison, this place of yours must have some unique qualities. For extreme cold and extreme heat to coexist, it would be hard to find a second place like this in the world."

Dugu Bo looked proud.

"I also stumbled upon this place by chance and discovered that the growth rate of the plants here is far faster than anywhere else."

"Let me take you two to see the herb garden first."

Passing through the dense forest, Lin Huai saw what he had wished for—one of the three great treasure basins: the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

Unlike Lin Huai, who had already mentally prepared himself, when Qian Daoliu saw the two springs, one constantly emitting heat and the other cold, existing together, there was no barrier between them, yet they remained clearly distinct within the large spring.

"This..."

"Dugu Bo, with such a treasure land, why have you remained at level 91 for so many years, unable to break through?"

Hearing this, Dugu Bo's mouth twitched slightly.

Why was the Great High Priest so blunt?

"Great High Priest, you know the flaws of my martial soul;

I only managed to break through to Title Douluo by relying on the unique suppression effect this treasure land has on toxins."

Qian Daoliu did not notice Dugu Bo's awkward tone.

"Do not worry. Since my disciple said there is a way to solve your problem, it will certainly be solved."

"In the future, you will also be able to break through to higher levels."

Qian Daoliu looked at those rather strange flowers and plants, only to find that he did not recognize a single one.

Oh, wait.

It was that familiar, fuzzy chrysanthemum.

This was none other than the martial soul of Chrysanthemum Douluo—the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum.

He then turned to look at his knowledgeable disciple.

"Lin Huai, do you recognize these peculiar flowers and herbs?"

Under the protection of Qian Daoliu, Lin Huai observed them carefully for a round.

Under Dugu Bo's expectant gaze, he spoke:

"I recognize some. Like this Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, I believe Teacher and Senior must certainly know it."

Dugu Bo looked at the chrysanthemum, which actually looked somewhat cute upon closer inspection, and thought of his nemesis.

"I only recognize this one; Chrysanthemum Guan's martial soul is exactly this. But I only know of it, not its specific effects."

Lin Huai rubbed his chin, pretending to be deep in thought.

"What I read in ancient texts is that consuming it allows one to cultivate an indestructible body, and it can also slightly improve one's talent."

"Improve talent!"

Dugu Bo was extremely astonished, regretting it so much he wanted to slap his own thigh.

Well, that was that; would such a good thing ever come his way now?

Seeming to notice Dugu Bo's distress.

Lin Huai said with great solemnity:

"Senior, do not worry. I would absolutely never commit the shameless act of burning bridges after crossing them."

"We are all our own people. As long as they are suitable, both you and your granddaughter can obtain a peculiar herb."

At this moment, Tang San, who was being affectionate with Xiao Wu, sneezed.

Seeing Dugu Bo's incredibly moved expression, and that look of utter devotion and willingness to die for the cause.

Lin Huai nodded inwardly.

Not bad. Fortunately, Dugu Bo recognizes the facts.

He didn't say anything brainless like, 'This is my territory, how did you get two of them?'

He then looked toward Qian Daoliu.

"Teacher, you should be able to send a message to the various titled elders in the Worship Hall, right?"

"Could you see if it's possible to have Chrysanthemum Douluo transferred here?"

Seeing the puzzled looks from Qian Daoliu and Dugu Bo.

"According to my understanding, Chrysanthemum Douluo's family has quite a bit of research on these rare flowers and herbs."

"He would certainly be able to identify even more herbs. Actually, the Breaking Clan also has some research on these, but unfortunately, they aren't our own people. It's better the fewer people who know about this treasure trove."

Dugu Bo felt again that this kid was taking a jab at him.

Qian Daoliu nodded, then tossed over a small token.

Lin Huai looked at this token-like Soul Tool.

It seems there are still some remnants of Soul Tools on the continent. I wonder if it's possible to construct one of the corresponding size in a short time.

He looked back at his level ninety-nine teacher.

If all else fails, he would just have to make his teacher suffer a little.

If Tang Wulin in the third era could circle the planet, there was no reason why his teacher, the invincible Angel Douluo of the skies, couldn't do it.

"Chrysanthemum Guan?"

"A sissy like him understands this?"

Interrupted by Dugu Bo's question, he cleared his thoughts slightly; the Soul Tool was not urgent for now.

"That is only because Senior has not consumed any of these herbs."

"Otherwise, Chrysanthemum Douluo could deduce exactly what you had eaten just by your aura."

Lin Huai noticed that upon hearing Chrysanthemum Douluo possessed such an ability, Dugu Bo's face flickered between shades of light and dark.

"Senior, do not worry. Although you and Chrysanthemum Douluo have some conflicts,"

"I believe that when faced with matters of great importance, Chrysanthemum Douluo can still distinguish right from wrong."

"Senior, go ahead and bring your granddaughter over first. I can still recognize the common herbs."

Lin Huai casually comforted Dugu Bo and sent him away.

After Dugu Bo disappeared.

Lin Huai walked toward a plant that was entirely emerald green, save for three white leaves at its center.

In the middle of the leaves were a few droplets of water, looking as if they were morning dew that had yet to dissipate.

"Teacher, I intend to consume this herb first."

Qian Daoliu revealed a hint of worry: "Are you sure, Little Huai? Why not wait until Yue Guan arrives before taking it?"

"Teacher, there is no need to worry. This herb is called Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew, and among the few herbs I can identify, it has the mildest medicinal properties."

"It can greatly increase mental power; perhaps I can achieve a ten-thousand-year-level third soul ring."

Lin Huai explained to Qian Daoliu with a serious expression.

"Very well. Since you are so confident, I will not stop you."

"Rest assured and refine it; Teacher will stand guard for you."

Lin Huai sat cross-legged directly and poured the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew into his mouth.

The other parts instantly turned to ash, and he casually scattered the remaining ash and seeds back where they had been.

Lin Huai began to close his eyes and cultivate.

As time passed.

Lin Huai felt his mind go into a trance once more, and a flash of white light streaked by.

Before his eyes, that red-haired figure appeared again.
