The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well

The outskirts of the forest.

The three sat around the campfire.

On the fire was a freshly roasted ten-year-old Soft Bone Rabbit.

As Jiang Lin ate the rabbit meat, he looked over today's wares.

Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, price: 16,000 points.

Nuclear Weapon, price: 200,000 points.

Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record, price: 17,999 points.

Random Twelve Talismans draw, price: 50,000 points.

Balance: 5,973 points

Jiang Lin swallowed instinctively. These... none of them cost less than 15,000 points?

The Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record was only a martial arts manual from a wuxia world, but the Purple Demon Eye inside could indeed help improve one's spiritual power.

Besides, Douluo Continent wasn't some high-level fantasy world. The things in it would certainly be more than good enough.

As for the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum...

That thing seemed to be the most useless item today.

And then there was the Nuclear Weapon...

That was even more top-tier. Even if a god came, it would blast him to smithereens.

And finally, this random Talisman draw...

Jiang Lin remembered that the last time he saw a Talisman in the shop, it had been a Dog Talisman.

But the Dog Talisman had cost a full 500,000 points.

Now, for just 50,000 points, he had a chance to draw one.

Even if he didn't get the Dog Talisman, any of the others would do.

For example, the noble Horse Talisman, the lightning-fast Rabbit Talisman, the mighty Ox Talisman, the ever-changing Monkey Talisman, the dazzling Pig Talisman, and so on.

"System, did you know I'd strike it rich today, so you put these items up?"

"Ding. The shop's inventory is randomly refreshed. There is no rigging."

Hearing the answer in his mind, Jiang Lin didn't believe a word of it.

After resting for a while longer, the eastern sky began to brighten.

Jiang Lin stood up. "It's about time. Uncle Tang, Elder Chen, let's get started."

Inside the Sunset Forest.

Jiang Lin and Elder Chen flew together.

After explaining the features of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, the three split up to search.

Tang Yuan went alone, while Elder Chen and Jiang Lin formed the other group.

The Sunset Forest had many mountains, but only a handful matched the description.

Their target was a place where the powers of ice and fire gathered.

Before long, the three met above a valley.

"Is this it?"

Tang Yuan asked Jiang Lin.

Jiang Lin nodded. "Let's go straight in."

With that, the three wasted no time and flew directly down into the valley.

They didn't stop even when they reached the poisonous formation surrounding it, one potent enough to kill a Soul Douluo.

The two Titled Douluo naturally didn't take the formation seriously.

As for Jiang Lin, he was protected by the Blood Fiend Divine Lightning, and the two Titled Douluo beside him were watching over him the whole time.

Soon, the three landed safely, without meeting any resistance.

Only after landing did Jiang Lin take a good look at his surroundings.

Ahead of him was a natural spring with two pools in one, where ice and fire coexisted.

The water of the Cold Extreme Yin Spring on the left was pure white as milk, its chill biting. Even just standing nearby, one could feel the bone-deep cold;

the Scorching Yang Spring on the right was as red as blood, its boiling water churning ceaselessly, while waves of heat steamed up like the breath of a furnace.

The two springs converged at the center of the pool, forming a perfect Taiji symbol.

The forces of ice and fire checked and mingled with each other here, filling this small patch of land with the spiritual energy of both extreme cold and extreme heat.

There was no doubt that this was one of the few treasure troves on the entire Douluo Continent.

At that moment, an old man sat beside the spring.

He was tall and thin, his wiry frame wrapped in a dark green robe. Grayish-green hair hung loosely over his shoulders, and his withered, sinister face was framed by sunken eye sockets. His emerald eyes gleamed with the cold light of a poisonous snake.

He was none other than Poison Douluo Dugu Bo.

Only after the three landed did Dugu Bo belatedly notice that they had trespassed.

He quickly rose to his feet, his expression dark, and swept a chilly gaze over the three.

"Who are you? How dare you trespass on my private grounds!"

Looking at the old man before him, Jiang Lin's lips curled slightly.

"Poison Douluo, I've heard much about you."

The moment Jiang Lin spoke, he immediately drew Dugu Bo's attention.

With Dugu Bo's discernment, it wasn't hard to tell that Jiang Lin was the one leading the group.

"Boy, you'd better give me a reasonable explanation."

Though Dugu Bo's tone was harsh, he didn't dare act rashly.

He couldn't see through the cultivation of the two men beside Jiang Lin.

As time passed, Dugu Bo's mood grew heavier and heavier.

Looking at Dugu Bo's increasingly dark expression, Jiang Lin smiled faintly.

"You want an explanation, senior? Fine. Then let me explain: this place belongs to me now."

"Outrageous! You've gone too far! Do you think I'm made of mud?!"

As he spoke, Dugu Bo instantly entered Martial Soul Possession, and a massive Jade Phosphorus Serpent Emperor appeared.

At the same time, nine Soul Rings appeared: yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, black.

Terrifying Soul Power swept out, and the air around them churned beneath its force.

But Jiang Lin didn't take it to heart.

Before he drew Tang Yuan, he might have been wary. But after drawing Tang Yuan, if he still had to be wary, then what would have been the point of drawing him?

As Dugu Bo released his Martial Soul, Elder Chen didn't hesitate either.

A three-eyed Fire Leopard appeared behind Elder Chen.

But what made Dugu Bo's pupils contract was that nine Soul Rings appeared beneath Elder Chen's feet too, just like his own.

"A Titled Douluo... Where exactly did you come from?"

Dugu Bo's gaze tightened as he frantically searched his memory, trying to recall when he had offended such a powerful figure.

A Fire Leopard...

Could he be some hidden old monster from the Fire Leopard Sect, one of the Lower Four Sects?

But he hadn't offended the Fire Leopard Sect either.

"You don't need to know that. All you need to know is that after today, this place will have a new owner."

"You..."

Dugu Bo clenched both fists. "Even if your level is one rank higher than mine, that doesn't mean I'm afraid of you."

Dugu Bo glared at Elder Chen, convinced he could handle him.

After all, even Chrysanthemum Douluo, a Level 95 Titled Douluo, had been unable to do anything to him all these years, so he was confident.

Besides, this place could suppress the poison in his body. If he left, he might drop dead the next time the poison flared up.

And this was also where his granddaughter, Dugu Yan, would suppress her poison in the future. He absolutely couldn't give it up.

Watching the two face off, Tang Yuan grew impatient.

It was only a useless Level 91 Titled Douluo. Was it really worth wasting so much time?

"Hmph."

Tang Yuan gave a cold snort.

The next second, Dugu Bo, who had still been facing off against Elder Chen, suddenly felt an immense pressure.

His straight back instantly bent.

Cold sweat streamed from his temples, and the sudden weight on his back made Dugu Bo feel as if he were carrying a mountain.

He dropped to one knee and struggled to raise his head, looking toward Tang Yuan in the distance, his eyes filled with shock.

The other man's cultivation was far beyond his own. He was the most terrifying of the three!

Once Dugu Bo realized this, his face turned ashen. The fury and shock in his eyes gave way to utter despair and hopelessness.
