Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well Secured! Returning

At the heart of Sunset Forest, the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

As Xiao Wujiu looked at this place, practically a small heavenly paradise, he could not help but marvel at its mystical nature.

The powers of ice and fire intertwined here. For those cultivating ice-attribute Battle Qi and fire-attribute Battle Qi, it was an exceptional place to train.

After arriving, he began preparing the materials needed to treat Dugu Bo. Since Dugu Bo's condition was nowhere near as terrifying as the Woe Poison Body, the requirements could be lowered somewhat.

With a fifth-tier low-grade Magic Core, three Beast Flames, and a medicinal pill tempered with Ice and Fire Spring Water as the main ingredient, he could help Dugu Bo condense a Poison Pill.

Once he had prepared everything one by one, the sight before him when he collected the Ice and Fire Spring Water left him astonished.

What did he see? An entire pool filled with Ice Spirit Cold Spring!

No, the two were not quite the same, but their effects were nearly identical. It could absolutely be called a substitute for Ice Spirit Cold Spring.

As for the fire spring, it closely resembled a treasure known as Earth Marrow Flame Liquid. Like the Ice Spirit Cold Spring, it could accelerate cultivation for fire-attribute Battle Qi practitioners.

He was in no rush to collect it. The treasures were all here, and sooner or later, they would be his.

Immediately afterward, he began addressing Dugu Bo's poison problem. There was already the rudimentary form of a Poison Pill within his body, so he only needed to use that as a foundation for the treatment.

Dugu Bo felt an unprecedented lightness in his body, leaving him utterly refreshed.

Only after experiencing this sensation, as if the shackles around his entire body had been removed, did he realize just how terrible his physical condition had once been.

"Kid, you're incredible. Just how did that brain of yours come up with this?"

Dugu Bo could not help but sigh. Xiao Wujiu had first refined medicine to protect his body and meridians, then used flames to force out the poison. Using the Poison Pill as a foundation, he had condensed an entirely new Poison Pill capable of completely controlling the toxins!

"Don't celebrate too soon. Your body has been ravaged by poison for years, and your vitality is severely depleted. I'll give you some medicinal pills afterward. Follow my instructions, and you'll recover quickly. You may even be able to advance further."

Hearing Dugu Bo's exuberance, Xiao Wujiu shook his head. There were not many traders as responsible as him, with after-sales service included. Still, the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well was certainly worth the price.

He then continued inspecting the medicinal herbs within the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well one by one, carefully examining them with his spiritual power and studying their medicinal properties.

In his view, swallowing them directly could never bring out their full potential.

Tang San knew how to eat them, but that was all—he merely avoided wasting their medicinal power. As an alchemist, Xiao Wujiu could amplify the effects of these "Immortal Herbs," bringing out two hundred percent, three hundred percent, or even greater efficacy!

He clapped his hands and looked at Dugu Bo. "Oh, right. There's also what I promised you."

As he spoke, he took several scrolls from his Storage Ring. They contained a low-grade Profound-rank cultivation art, Jade Phosphorous Art, as well as several Yellow-rank poison-attribute battle techniques.

Of course, this cultivation art had not previously been called that, but now it was.

Dugu Bo accepted them without much thought. The Dugu family's inherited meditation method had been researched over countless generations and was the meditation method best suited to the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul.

But after reading it, he discovered that its contents were far more profound than the Dugu family's meditation method. The difference was obvious at a glance!

"This, this..."

Dugu Bo's expression changed several times. Then he opened the accompanying Self-Created Soul Skills and felt as though he had discovered a new world!

Jade Phosphorous Poison Palm, Blood-Defeating Finger, Bone-Eroding Hand, Miasma Step...

The strange yet comprehensive Self-Created Soul Skills completely convinced Dugu Bo. For a moment, he even doubted his own skill in using poison.

"No, no, poison isn't supposed to work like this. Shouldn't poison be something you scatter with a wave of your hand, then your enemies just keep dropping?"

"That's not how the Dugu family records describe it!"

Yet the Self-Created Soul Skills before him truly showed him the chance to fight in high-level battles. At last, Dugu Bo would no longer be merely a Sect-Destroying Douluo!

"Kid Wujiu, I don't know how you obtained these Self-Created Soul Skills and this meditation method, but I'll remember this favor. If you ever need anything, just tell me!"

He looked solemnly at Xiao Wujiu. Although he had not unlocked anything special... he had still received a promise. That meant he now had the first person in the Douluo World whom he could trust.

"I understand. Your granddaughter's poisoning is not severe. You can completely guide her by changing her future Spirit Ring choices, or you can guide her through the preliminary steps of condensing a Poison Pill. I'll refine medicinal pills for her afterward."

As Xiao Wujiu spoke, he took out a Storage Ring and handed it to Dugu Bo.

"Afterward? You mean you're leaving?"

"That's right. This Soul Tool is for you. You can use it by infusing it with Soul Power. Inside are several tasks I need you to handle for me."

"There is an extremely important piece of jade inside. You must keep it safe for me. Once the time is right, I'll come retrieve it. There are also some medicinal pills I refined inside, as payment and to prevent anything unexpected from happening to you."

"One last thing. Don't you have a Ruyi Hundred Treasure Pouch that can store living creatures? Let me borrow it for research."

After Dugu Bo accepted the ring, he found numerous jade medicine bottles inside, each labeled with its effects. Apart from those, there was also a seemingly incomplete jade fragment.

"I understand. I'll keep it safe. As for the Ruyi Hundred Treasure Pouch, if you want it, I'll give it to you."

He removed the Ruyi Hundred Treasure Pouch from his waist, released Nine-Section Jade, and tossed the pouch to Xiao Wujiu.

Xiao Wujiu did not stand on ceremony. After accepting the Ruyi Hundred Treasure Pouch, Dugu Bo prepared to leave. Though he had promised to come manage this place from time to time, it now belonged to Xiao Wujiu. Since Xiao Wujiu had entrusted him with so many matters, he must have had something to do.

Moreover, Dugu Bo had formed a few guesses about Xiao Wujiu's identity. The things he had received in exchange only further confirmed those suspicions!

Perhaps the entire continent will undergo earthshaking changes because of his arrival!

After Dugu Bo left, Xiao Wujiu stood within the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well and began preparing to depart. Since he had already explored the use of the rules, there was no need to keep fixating on the Douluo World. For now, there was nothing left for him to do here, and he had already assigned some idle pieces to Dugu Bo.

"I'll deal with the dragon souls and the corpses within the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well the next time I come. For now..."

Xiao Wujiu took only a portion of the spring water. Then he looked at the surrounding "Immortal Herbs," collected some medicinal herbs for alchemy, and planted several medicinal herbs as well to see how effective the ripening effect would be.

"Now, it's time to return to the Douqi Continent."
