"So, we should count ourselves fortunate—fortunate that the Soul Master who obtained the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well had absolutely no understanding of the effects and uses of these Immortal Grade Spirit Herbs. Otherwise, such a treasure land would never have fallen into our hands~" Lin Xiao said with a faint smile.

There was no denying that Dugu Bo was an expert in poison. It could even be said that, in the art of poison, if he had never encountered Tang San, no one would have been able to surpass Dugu Bo.

But unfortunately, despite Dugu Bo's mastery of poison, he would still have been at a loss before the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. With Dugu Bo's abilities alone, even if he spent half his life studying it—

he likely still would not have been able to fully understand the effects and properties of every spirit herb surrounding the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, much less those Immortal Grade Spirit Herbs with even more potent effects and fiercer toxicity.

"So that's how it is. No wonder the spirit herbs inside the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well were completely intact despite the Psychedelic Poison Array outside, with almost none of them touched. It turns out that person did not know what these spirit herbs did. What a pity—such a miraculous place falling into that person's hands was simply a waste!" Qian Renxue said thankfully.

She was grateful that although the other party had acquired the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well long ago, he did not understand the effects of these Immortal Grade Spirit Herbs. Otherwise, this place truly would not have fallen into their hands!

"The one hiding in the shadows, since you have already come here, why continue skulking about? Why not show your true face?" Lin Xiao said calmly as he turned to look toward the entrance of the valley.

While they had been talking just now, Lin Xiao had keenly sensed that someone had arrived. However, that person was concealed extremely well at the valley entrance, secretly observing them.

Thus, he could be certain that when they first arrived at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, there had been no one here—not even the trace of anyone's aura. The person watching them from the shadows now was most likely Dugu Bo, the Poison Douluo, who had come to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well!

"Hm?!" Qian Renxue pressed her lips together and frowned slightly as she asked in confusion, "Someone is here?! Brother Lin Xiao, where is he?! Could it be that the Soul Master who set up the Psychedelic Poison Array has returned?"

Lin Xiao nodded slightly and said evenly, "Xiao Xue is right. It is indeed the Soul Master who set up the Psychedelic Poison Array. However, he has not chosen to reveal himself and is instead silently watching us from the shadows."

At those words, Qian Renxue immediately became alert, a faint curve appearing at the corner of her lips. Although the Soul Master who had set up the Psychedelic Poison Array had returned, she had nothing to fear. Even if he was a Title Douluo, Brother Lin Xiao could easily defeat him!

"Since you have returned, then show yourself. What is the point of hiding in the shadows and secretly watching us?! Why not come out so we can have a proper talk?!" Qian Renxue said calmly.

As Qian Renxue's words fell, they heard a hearty voice coming from the darkness. Then, a jade-green figure gradually emerged fully before them—a green-haired old man dressed in jade-green robes.

The old man clasped his hands behind his back, his expression cold as his jade-green eyes watched the two before him. He could not help but praise, "Boy, what remarkable perception. You actually discovered this old man. At your age, being able to detect this old man is something you can truly be proud of!"

"Dugu Bo?! It is actually Dugu Bo, the Poison Douluo. I never expected him to be the one who discovered the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. That is quite unexpected~" Qian Renxue said as she looked at the old man with long jade-green hair before her.

Naturally, she was no stranger to Dugu Bo. In the Heaven Dou Empire, Dugu Bo appeared quite often, usually at Prince Xue Xing's side. Although there were rumors that Dugu Bo was Prince Xue Xing's retainer—

she knew very well that Xue Xing had once saved Dugu Bo's life. Thus, Dugu Bo had promised Prince Xue Xing three requests. Once all those requests were used up, the two of them would no longer have any connection.

At present, Prince Xue Xing had already used two of Dugu Bo's requests, with only the final one remaining. Once it was used, there would be no further connection between them.

"Hahaha~ I never expected it, I truly never expected that someone would recognize this old man. That is rather surprising. However, since you have entered this old man's Herb Garden and know of its wonders, this old man has no intention of letting you leave!" Dugu Bo's eyes, like those of a venomous snake, locked the two firmly in place.

"It seems you know these spirit herbs. This place was obtained by this old man by chance years ago. This old man does not recognize ninety-nine percent of these spiritual medicines. If the two of you can tell this old man all of their effects, this old man can grant you a swift death!" Dugu Bo said indifferently.

When he had discovered this place by chance years ago, it had not only been able to suppress the poison within his body, but it had also contained many strange spirit herbs. He did not know their effects, but they were all exceedingly dangerous. This had always troubled him.

Although he possessed countless spirit herbs, he had no idea how to bring out their value. When he had just returned to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, he discovered the two of them and overheard their conversation.

"Well? Have you considered it?" Dugu Bo asked with a chuckle.

The two were extremely young, yet they had passed through the Psychedelic Poison Array he had set up and had even discovered him while he was concealed in the shadows. This was enough to prove their talent. But unfortunately, he had no intention of sparing them. Once they revealed all the methods for using these spirit herbs, it would be their time to die!

"You want us dead, and you still want us to hand over information about these spirit herbs?! Ridiculous. Absolutely ridiculous. Then what if... we refuse? What will you do?!" Qian Renxue laughed lightly. Though Dugu Bo was powerful and a Title Douluo, Brother Lin Xiao was even stronger—a Super Douluo!

"Hahahaha. Since you recognize this old man, little girl, you must know that this old man is a Title Douluo, one of the few strongest experts on the continent. Yet you dare speak to this old man in such a manner. Little girl, you have backbone and courage!"

As he spoke, Dugu Bo released his Martial Soul. The enormous Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor slowly condensed beneath his feet and fully emerged, its tongue flicking as its jade-green eyes stared at the two as though they were prey it had already locked onto.

Immediately afterward, nine Soul Rings appeared in full—yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, black. The aura of a Title Douluo was displayed without reservation as it bore down upon the two of them.

"Tell this old man the information about these spirit herbs, and this old man can grant you a swift death. Otherwise, you will wish you were dead!" Dugu Bo said darkly.
