Two Forms, Twin Birth; Method of Detoxification

Protected by the Blue Silver Domain, Jiang Li and Tang San followed Dugu Bo as he quickly passed through the outer Jade Phosphorous Poisonous Miasma. Once they entered the interior, the view suddenly opened up.

Although this valley was small in scale, it felt like a secret realm isolated from the mortal world!

The valley was filled with plants of strange shapes, their branches and leaves stretching out in various postures, leaving one dazzled.

Many flowers and grasses emitted magnificent fluorescence, as if draped in a layer of dreamy gauze.

However, the most eye-catching sight was undoubtedly the lake in the center of the valley.

Half of the lake surface was milky white like congealed fat, while the other half was vermilion like flowing fire. The boundary was clear yet naturally blended, forming a shape similar to a Taiji diagram, though it did not perfectly match the traditional Yin-Yang fish pattern.

Where the two colors met, the water swirled inward, forming a constantly surging water eye, as if it were the heart of this valley.

Even more miraculous was that within these milky white and vermilion springs, each nurtured a unique plant.

Growing in the milky white spring was a plant that was icy blue all over, its leaves spreading outward in an octagonal shape, radiating a biting chill.

Standing in the vermilion spring was a fiery red plant, passionate and unrestrained, echoing the icy blue one from afar, creating an indescribable spectacle at the heart of the lake.

Tang San was completely stunned by the beauty before him; this was actually the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well recorded in the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record!

That is the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower... and that is the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the Infernal Delicate Apricot...

At this moment, Tang San felt so happy he could almost faint!

However, he quickly controlled his emotions; this place did not belong to them yet!

Furthermore, from the words Dugu Bo had spoken earlier, he understood that the man was guarding a mountain of treasure without even knowing it!

Perhaps...

On the other side, Jiang Li was also shocked by the beautiful scenery. Although he had learned how enchanting this place was from books in his previous life, seeing it with his own eyes still left him stunned for quite a while.

"This place is truly worthy of being called one of the Three Great Treasure Basins in the world."

Hearing Jiang Li's exclamation, Dugu Bo tilted his head curiously. "Oh? What? Kid, you know this place?"

Jiang Li nodded. "This place not only possesses rich Heaven and Earth energy."

"If plants grow here, their growth rate can be accelerated by an unknown amount."

"And I suspect that you, Senior Dugu, relied on the wonders of this place to suppress your own serpent venom while making that final leap to become a Titled Douluo, right?"

Jiang Li stopped at the point; he did not intend to say anything more.

He was afraid of what kind of madness might take hold of this old man once he learned the truth.

Dugu Bo raised his head proudly, stroking his beard with a showy air. "Alright, you two brats, I have brought you in. Can you tell me now the method you mentioned to solve the problems of my Jade Phosphorous Serpent lineage?"

"Of course, but Senior Dugu Bo, we two need to select some herbs we can use as payment. You shouldn't mind that, right?"

Dugu Bo naturally didn't find this unexpected and readily nodded in agreement.

However, just then, Tang San pulled on Jiang Li's clothes and led him to the side, signaling that he had something to say.

After Jiang Li gave Dugu Bo a gesture, he walked aside with Tang San.

Dugu Bo indicated that as a powerful Titled Douluo, he had his own pride and would naturally not eavesdrop.

"Master, I assume you recognize the immortal herbs here and know their importance."

"I have thought of a soul bone method that would allow Senior Dugu Bo to force his serpent venom into a soul bone. In this way, we would have fulfilled our promise."

Tang San's meaning was simple: the two of them, master and disciple, should just share the good things here. He was afraid that if Dugu Bo knew the true effects of these herbs, he would go back on his word.

After all, the man was, at the end of the day, a genuine Titled Douluo.

Moreover, there was one thing he didn't say: if Dugu Bo's serpent venom were to backfire and kill him years later, wouldn't this treasure land truly belong to them?

"Oh? Little San, you recognize these immortal herbs too?"

Faced with Jiang Li's sudden inquiry, Tang San stammered that he had accidentally found an illustrated book when he was young, which recorded everything about these immortal herbs in detail, along with the uses of some poisons.

Jiang Li did not point out the lie, and as for the little schemes in his heart, he had seen through them at a glance.

One must know that Jiang Li genuinely wanted to teach Tang San well, so he could not allow him to harbor such evil thoughts.

Why did the Tang God King become the Tang God King? Wasn't it because of the misguided teachings of Yu Xiaogang?

Jiang Li felt that the habits he had as an assassin in his previous life still affected his state of mind too much. Changing Tang San into the person he wanted him to be was a major project!

"Little San, the most basic integrity of a person must be maintained. Furthermore, with your intelligence, I believe you have guessed that soul bones have a capacity limit."

"Although Senior Dugu Bo has a strange temper, he will certainly do what he promises. I also have the confidence that he would not dare to act against us or go back on his word."

"What's more, their Jade Phosphorous Serpent lineage now consists only of him and his granddaughter. It is useless for the two of them to hold onto so many immortal-grade items."

"Little San, I hope that the disciple I teach can become a powerhouse who cares for the world in the future, not someone who stops at nothing for profit."

"I hope this time is the first and the last."

Jiang Li's tone was flat, but it made Tang San feel as if his face were burning.

He had not expected his master's character to be so noble, nor that he would have such high expectations for him.

"Master... I... I was wrong."

As someone who had "a teacher for a day is a father for life" engraved in his bones, Tang San naturally accepted his master's teachings with an open heart.

Once again, he felt the greatness of his master.

In his past life, even when the inner sect disciples were taken on as apprentices by the elders, those elders only ever concerned themselves with the disciples' cultivation levels, never once paying attention to the growth of their character!

Not to mention that in this life, his father had provided him with absolutely no guidance in this regard whatsoever!

At this moment, Tang San felt once again how truly fortunate he was to be able to call his master his teacher!

There was even one thing he had not realized himself.

Unknowingly, the image of his master had begun to gradually overlap with the image of his father in his memories!
