Once Dugu Bo had completely breathed his last, Yue Guan gathered up his storage ring and his entire set of spirit bones. The moment the spirit bones were extracted, the toxins within Dugu Bo's body, no longer suppressed by spirit power or contained by the bones, erupted throughout his remains.
Dugu Bo's flesh was instantly corroded by the toxins, and his corpse was reduced to a pile of white bones.
Furthermore, as the toxins leaked out, the ground beneath them turned into a dead zone.
At this time, Yue Guan approached Qian Daoliu and handed over the storage ring and spirit bones he had scavenged from Dugu Bo.
Seeing these items, Qian Daoliu shook his head, then turned to Qian Renxue and Tai Yi and said:
"Xue'er, Xiao Yi, you two should take these."
Hearing this, Qian Renxue and Tai Yi did not stand on ceremony and promptly put the items away.
At this moment, Tai Yi spoke up:
"Grandfather, let us head down."
Qian Daoliu nodded, and the four of them began their descent.
Soon, the four of them laid eyes on the red and blue spring. Seeing it, Tai Yi sighed in his heart: The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, I have finally found it.
Then, in the next second, a cry of surprise rang out:
"Heavens, there are actually so many immortal herbs here! I never imagined such a place existed in this world."
Yue Guan began to weave through the multitude of immortal herbs.
Finally, Yue Guan stopped in front of one particular herb, staring at it without blinking.
When Tai Yi saw Yue Guan's expression and noticed the herb, which shared the same form as Yue Guan's own spirit, he realized this was the Strange Velvet Chrysanthemum. It was no wonder Yue Guan was in such a state.
At this time, Qian Renxue turned to Tai Yi and asked:
"Xiao Yi, is this the opportunity you spoke of?"
Hearing this, Tai Yi nodded and said:
"Look at these immortal herbs. If we consume even one, it can cause our spirit power to skyrocket, and our innate talent will also be enhanced."
"But we don't recognize them; how are we supposed to consume them?"
Qian Renxue asked.
Regarding Qian Renxue's question, Tai Yi replied:
"That is exactly why I specifically asked Elder Yue Guan to come along."
Then, Tai Yi called out to Yue Guan:
"Elder Ju, stop staring at the Strange Velvet Chrysanthemum. Come over and use your knowledge of these herbs to help us harvest and store them."
Hearing this, Yue Guan reluctantly tore his gaze away from the Strange Velvet Chrysanthemum and approached the three of them.
Qian Daoliu noticed Yue Guan's affection for the flower and considered that Qian Renxue would soon be returning to Spirit Hall, and that she was destined to inherit it in the future.
Therefore, Qian Daoliu said to Yue Guan:
"Yue Guan, first collect all these immortal herbs according to the proper methods, and help Xiao Yi and Xiao Xue select suitable ones for themselves."
"As for that Strange Velvet Chrysanthemum, it shall be yours as a reward. However, once Xiao Xue and Tai Yi return to Spirit City, I expect you to recognize the situation clearly."
Hearing Qian Daoliu's words, Yue Guan was no fool; he understood the implication perfectly. He had already been leaning toward the Elder Palace faction, and now that Qian Daoliu had promised him the Strange Velvet Chrysanthemum, how could he not make the right choice?
So, in the next second, Yue Guan said to Qian Daoliu:
"Great Elder, Yue Guan understands. In the future, I will follow the lead of the Young Mistress and the Young Master in Spirit Hall."
Hearing this, Qian Daoliu nodded.
He then said:
"Then go ahead and select the appropriate immortal herbs for Xiao Xue and Tai Yi."
After saying this, Qian Daoliu walked over to Tai Yi and said:
"Xiao Yi, this opportunity you brought us provides so many immortal herbs. Not only will you and Xiao Xue be able to become gods, but our Spirit Hall will also gain a group of loyal Title Douluo."
Qian Daoliu continued:
"Xiao Yi, did the God of Destruction mention which herbs you should absorb? I will have Yue Guan find them for you right now."
Just as Tai Yi was about to say that the God of Destruction had only told him there were herbs here and he was preparing to have Yue Guan help him choose, a voice echoed in his mind:
"Kid, you have quite the luck. You actually found the place where the Ice Dragon King and the Fire Dragon King perished. You should know that even we in the God Realm searched for this place and could not find it."
Tai Yi was startled by the voice, but he quickly realized it was the God of Destruction. However, hearing the God of Destruction's words, Tai Yi was confused. Wasn't this the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well? How had it become the burial ground of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings?
Then, looking at the red and blue spring before him, Tai Yi understood the reason behind the God of Destruction's words. In his past life, Tai Yi had read in novels that many claimed the waters of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well were formed after the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings perished in the great war of the God Realm. He had assumed it was merely the author's imagination, but he never expected it to be true.
Thus, Tai Yi asked the God of Destruction:
"So this is the burial ground of the two Dragon Kings? No wonder so many immortal herbs grow here."
Hearing this, the God of Destruction replied:
"Tai Yi, the most important thing here isn't these immortal herbs, but what lies within that spring. After the Ice and Fire Dragon King perished, although they were originally first-tier gods, they were still soul beasts by nature. Even as gods, they possessed soul bones. If I'm not mistaken, this place was formed by relying on those two soul bones. If you absorb these two god-level soul bones, the divine armor you forge after becoming a god in the future will be incredibly powerful."
Upon hearing this and learning about the existence of two god-level soul bones, Tai Yi was naturally overjoyed. However, he also understood that he currently struggled to even absorb a fifty-thousand-year soul bone, let alone these soul bones from the God Realm.
Therefore, Tai Yi spoke up:
"Knowing this is useless; how could I possibly absorb such soul bones right now?"
"Kid, even if you can't absorb them now, you have me to help you, don't you! I will personally assist you. First, jump into the spring, and I will help you absorb the ice and fire energy to let your body adapt to this power. Then, I will help you absorb the soul bones. Since your soul power has reached level thirty, I can convert a portion of the excess energy into a soul ring, and seal the rest away to be gradually unlocked as your soul power increases."
The God of Destruction spoke to Tai Yi in this manner.
Hearing this, Tai Yi replied:
"In that case, thank you, God of Destruction."
