Ice and Fire Mandarin Duck Pot! (Seeking Collections, Seeking Follow-ups)

"Why the hell aren't you going? Use your Light element to blind those summoned beasts," Zhao Manyan scoffed.

"Come to think of it, I still don't know what your second element is."

"Summoning element," Lan Yu said.

Zhao Manyan's eyes widened abruptly: "Damn! Heaven is unfair!"

"Complaining won't help. I only awakened the Summoning element because Mother Earth blessed me," Lan Yu said, crossing his legs.

"What the hell?" Zhao Manyan didn't understand what nonsense this guy was spouting.

The Beast Fighting Tournament proceeded just as it had in the original plot, with Mo Fan defeating two hundred people to claim the public resources for all the freshmen.

Mo Fan also fulfilled his wish and earned the title of "Pearl Great Demon King."

After the freshman Beast Fighting Tournament, everything seemed to slowly return to normal.

In the blink of an eye, over a month passed.

The events of the freshman tournament were finally buried by other emerging news.

On this day, Lan Yu was on the dormitory rooftop, beginning to control the stars of his Summoning element.

He had prepared thoroughly, all for the sake of obtaining opportunities in the Douluo Continent.

One by one, moon-colored stars appeared before his waist, and under his mental control, the seven stars aligned into a star track.

Star track formed, magic manifested!

The star track, glowing with moonlight, acted like a cutting line, slowly tearing a rift in the space of the real world that led to the Douluo Continent.

The rift was just wide enough for a person to pass through. Lan Yu opened his eyes, stood up from the ground, and stepped into the crack.

In a flash, he vanished from the magic world.

The next second, a brand-new scene appeared before Lan Yu's eyes.

It was a valley basin with a hot spring at its very center.

The spring didn't cover much area, but it was clearly divided into two distinct sections; the oval-shaped pool was split into milky white and vermilion colors.

The billowing steam was produced exactly where these two springs met, rising up and only dissipating once it reached the mountain pass.

Ice and Fire Mandarin Duck Pot!

Lan Yu's breathing grew heavy, and his body trembled uncontrollably with excitement.

He never expected his "Summoning element" to connect directly to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well in the Sunset Forest this time.

And looking at the state of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, it didn't seem to have been visited by that double-standard dog, Tang San.

He remembered the first time he had ended up on the ocean surface, nearly eaten by a sea soul beast.

He had wasted his first chance, forcing him to wait three months in vain.

"Hehehe, the immortal herbs are all mine!"

Lan Yu looked like he had consumed a large amount of Soul Hall protector essence, laughing more like a villain than any villain.

Even after staying at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well for only a moment, Lan Yu could sense the incredibly abundant ice and fire elemental energy.

Although he had only read fanfiction about the Douluo Continent, he was no stranger to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

This Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well not only provided unique conditions for the growth of rare plants but also affected humans and other living beings.

Once a human or creature stayed near the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, their body would be bombarded by the extreme energy of ice and fire within a short time.

If they couldn't leave in time, they would explode and die before long.

Furthermore, extreme cold and extreme heat had a powerful suppressive effect on toxins.

Relying on the memories in his mind, Lan Yu quickly located the few immortal herbs that would be of great use to him at this stage.

First was the Aromatic Silk Beauty, that large, leisurely swaying pink flower; it was the bane of all poisons and could neutralize any toxin.

It couldn't cure poison itself, but it could suppress it.

Anything within the pink light barrier it emitted fell under its suppression range.

The fragrance of the Aromatic Silk Beauty was clear and elegant, and its scent alone could neutralize a hundred poisons.

Lan Yu took out a dagger and dug up the Aromatic Silk Beauty, roots and soil intact, holding it in his hand.

Time was tight; he needed to act fast.

Second, the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass.

The Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass grew at the center point on the side of the extreme cold spring. Its top looked like a large white flower with eight corners, and its center shimmered with stamen like ice crystals.

Third, the Infernal Delicate Apricot.

It was just like the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, except it grew at the center point on the side of the extreme heat spring. It looked no different from a cabbage, but its entire body was fiery red.

One ordinary dagger, one Jade Ruler about fifty centimeters long.

He first used the dagger to cut down the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, then used the dagger to pierce it and move it to the position before the boundary of the extreme cold spring and the extreme heat spring.

Lan Yu already felt a force of extreme cold invading his body through his arm; fortunately, he had the Aromatic Silk Beauty in hand, otherwise, he would have already been frozen into an ice sculpture.

Next, he used the Jade Ruler to dig out the Infernal Delicate Apricot and moved it to the corresponding position.

At this very moment, Lan Yu felt pain beginning to emerge within his body.

After all, he had stayed in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well for quite some time, and even with the Aromatic Silk Beauty restraining the cold and fire toxins, his body was still showing signs of distress.

Especially after plucking the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the Infernal Delicate Apricot, the agony of the alternating cold and heat within his body became increasingly pronounced.

"Damn it! This is truly unbearable!"

Lan Yu gritted his teeth, his blood surging within him, his face flashing between green and red.

However, as these two immortal herbs gradually drew closer, that aura of extreme cold and extreme heat suddenly vanished.

Without hesitation, Lan Yu picked the two immortal herbs up from the ground and stuffed them into his mouth in large mouthfuls.

Immortal herbs truly lived up to their name, melting the moment they touched his tongue and sliding down his throat with his saliva.

After swallowing the two immortal herbs, Lan Yu quickly stripped himself bare.

Once he had removed his clothes, Lan Yu's body shuddered violently.

Immediately following, a layer of ice blue rose directly from beneath his feet, and in the blink of an eye, he turned into a little blue man.

Then, another layer of red rose up, and Lan Yu turned completely red-hot—the kind that was red all over.

For a time, blue and red alternated, looking extremely bizarre.

Yet, this seemingly simple process nearly caused Lan Yu to have a mental breakdown.

This is no different from the mental stinging caused when breaking through to the intermediate stage!

Still, the medicinal effects have already taken hold; it's time to jump into the Mandarin Duck Pot and give myself a rinse!

Enduring this agony, Lan Yu moved toward the intersection of the extreme cold and extreme heat springs.

Splash—

With the sound of water breaking, Lan Yu sank entirely into the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

The spring water within the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well churned as Lan Yu fell in, then quickly returned to calm.

Lan Yu, however, had fallen into a coma, unaware of everything happening outside.

Night fell, and darkness shrouded the earth.

Lan Yu, submerged in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, still did not surface, as if he had completely vanished from the spring water.
