Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well! Immortal Herbs Everywhere

Dugu Bo led the way, bringing Qian Renyuan and Jiangmo Douluo into the back mountain of the estate.

The three passed through a dense forest, and the poisonous mist around them gradually thickened.

The deeper they went, the stronger the poison became.

Some of the toxic mist had even condensed into jade-green droplets that hung from leaves and vines. Occasionally, flying insects passed through it; the moment they touched even a trace of it, they immediately fell to the ground.

Dugu Bo raised his right hand, and jade-green Soul Power spread forward.

The poisonous mist blocking the path parted on its own, revealing a narrow trail.

Jiangmo Douluo gripped the Coiling Dragon Staff and remained at Qian Renyuan's side the entire time.

"I personally set up the poison formation here."

Without turning his head, Dugu Bo said, "Without someone to lead the way, even a Soul Douluo who barged in might not make it out alive."

"It's somewhat useful."

Qian Renyuan gave a casual assessment.

Dugu Bo's steps paused slightly.

The poison formation he had always taken pride in had earned only a single remark from Qian Renyuan: somewhat useful.

He wanted to argue, but when he recalled the sight of the Black Lotus devouring the poisonous mist, he ultimately said nothing.

The three continued along the path and eventually reached the summit of a mountain.

There was no road ahead.

The steep cliff face plunged almost vertically downward. Dense fog blanketed the bottom, making it impossible to see the situation below.

Without explaining anything, Dugu Bo leaped straight off the cliff.

Jiangmo Douluo walked to the edge, used a strand of Soul Power to support Qian Renyuan, then jumped down after him.

Their bodies passed through the dense fog.

A Herb Garden hidden deep within the valley finally came into view.

At the center of the valley was a small hot spring divided into red and white halves.

The milky-white spring water emitted bone-piercing cold, and the surrounding ground was covered in a thick layer of frost.

The fiery-red spring water churned constantly, while scorching waves of heat distorted the air nearby.

The two completely opposing springs lay pressed close together, yet did not affect each other at all, maintaining a clear boundary between them.

A great variety of plants grew around the spring.

A dense medicinal fragrance filled the entire valley.

Even Jiangmo Douluo, who knew nothing of medicinal theory, could sense the astonishing energy contained within several of the plants.

"Your Highness."

A trace of gravity appeared in Jiangmo Douluo's eyes.

"This place truly is extraordinary."

Qian Renyuan landed on the ground, his gaze immediately falling upon the red-and-white spring.

The Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

One of the three greatest Cornucopias in the world.

The Immortal Herbs that should have fallen into Tang San's hands years later were all growing here, completely untouched.

The system's voice sounded in Qian Renyuan's mind.

[Ding! Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well detected!]

[Immortal Herb interception main quest progress updated!]

After hearing the system prompt, the corners of Qian Renyuan's lips slowly curved upward.

He had found it.

Dugu Bo landed nearby, taking in both of their reactions.

"This is my Herb Garden."

"Let me make this clear first. Most of these herbs have unusual properties, and some are so dangerous that even I do not dare touch them lightly."

"If the Holy Son is poisoned through carelessness, do not blame me for failing to warn you."

Ignoring his warning, Qian Renyuan walked straight toward a large pink flower not far from the spring.

The plant had no leaves. Its petals swayed gently, spreading a rich fragrance.

"Aromatic Silk Beauty."

Qian Renyuan stopped.

"It cannot detoxify on its own, but it can suppress all poisons, rendering toxic substances within a certain range ineffective."

Dugu Bo's expression changed slightly.

He knew that this large pink flower could suppress toxins, but he had never heard its name before.

Qian Renyuan continued onward.

Not far away, a snow-white orchid grew quietly. Its flower was divided into eight petals, and its aura was gentle and enduring.

"Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid."

"Its medicinal nature is mild. It can strengthen one's foundation and replenish one's essence. Even if the user is not powerful, there is no need to worry about being unable to withstand its effects."

Jiangmo Douluo looked at the Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid.

Merely standing nearby, he could feel the pure medicinal energy it contained. If this Immortal Herb could truly improve a Soul Master's foundation, its value could not be measured in Gold Soul Coins.

Dugu Bo's expression also became increasingly serious.

Qian Renyuan did not stop, turning his gaze toward both sides of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

Near the Cold Spring, a white herb grew like an octagonal ice crystal, constantly radiating bone-piercing chill.

On the other side of the Hot Spring grew a fiery-red plant, while the surrounding earth had been baked dry and cracked by the intense heat.

"Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass."

"Infernal Delicate Apricot."

"One is of extreme cold, the other of extreme heat. Taken alone, either is a deadly poison."

"But if taken together, their two extreme medicinal properties restrain one another. Then, by using the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well to temper the body, the user can gain a physique immune to water and fire, one that a hundred poisons cannot easily harm."

Dugu Bo finally could not help speaking.

"Do you truly know these herbs?"

He had guarded this place for many years and only knew that those two plants were exceptionally dangerous.

Once, a thousand-year soul beast had accidentally wandered near the Cold Spring, and its body froze solid in an instant. Another soul beast had approached the fiery-red plant and been reduced directly to charcoal.

Dugu Bo had always regarded them as unusable, highly toxic objects.

Yet according to Qian Renyuan, these two plants could actually be taken together.

"I told you."

Qian Renyuan turned back and glanced at him.

"Just because you do not recognize them does not mean I do not."

Dugu Bo opened his mouth, but in the end, he could only suppress the doubts in his heart.

Qian Renyuan had successively named several herbs and explained their effects, which already proved that he was not merely talking nonsense.

More importantly, he had just agreed that Qian Renyuan could choose herbs from the Herb Garden.

Even if he regretted it now, it was already too late.

Qian Renyuan swept his gaze over the entire Herb Garden before finally walking up to a snow-white herb.

The herb resembled a white swan raising its neck. It emitted no powerful aura and even appeared rather ordinary.

But when Dugu Bo saw Qian Renyuan stop before it, his expression changed immediately.

"Don't touch it!"

Qian Renyuan turned to look at him.

"You know what it does?"

"I do not know its name, but I know that it is extremely dangerous."

Dugu Bo strode over.

"This herb is not poisonous itself, but it can multiply any poison that comes into contact with it."

"I once tested it with a small amount of snake venom. The venom merely remained near it for a moment, yet its toxicity increased severalfold."

Dugu Bo had never destroyed this herb because he valued its ability to amplify toxicity.

Yet even he did not dare touch it lightly.

Once the aura of the snow-white herb entered his body, the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor poison accumulated in him over many years would inevitably erupt completely.

By then, even if he fled near the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, he might not be able to suppress it.

"Snowy Swan Kiss."

Qian Renyuan spoke its name.

"It can continuously catalyze toxins. It is indeed very dangerous."

Dugu Bo frowned.

"Since you know that, why are you standing so close to it?"

Qian Renyuan did not answer. Instead, he pointed at the Snowy Swan Kiss, then at the Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid not far away.

"To treat Dugu Yan, use these two."

Dugu Bo's gaze immediately darkened.

The Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid had mild medicinal properties and might truly be able to nourish Dugu Yan's meridians.

But the Snowy Swan Kiss would only multiply the poison severalfold.

The Jade Phosphorus Snake Poison within Dugu Yan was already on the verge of losing control at any moment. If its toxicity surged again, she likely would not endure even for an instant.

"Holy Son."

Dugu Bo stood in front of the Snowy Swan Kiss, anger already entering his voice.

"Are you trying to save Yanyan, or kill her?"
