Jiang Yu's reason for arranging a meeting with Dugu Bo was simple: the Immortal Herbs.

Bibi Dong's appearance immediately put Jiang Yu on alert.

Jiang Yu knew very well that although Bibi Dong had suffered a setback this time, she would never let the matter rest.

Therefore, Jiang Yu had to increase his strength as quickly as possible!

And the simplest way to achieve a massive surge in strength in a short time was the Immortal Herbs.

Jiang Yu had considered countless plans for obtaining the Immortal Herbs.

Steal? Rob? Or kidnap Dugu Yan and use her as leverage?

But Jiang Yu had discarded all of those methods.

Dugu Bo was a Title Douluo, and one who specialized in poison.

Provoking him was clearly not a wise choice.

After much deliberation, the safest and most efficient method was still a trade.

He would use something Dugu Bo could not refuse in exchange for the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well.

As for what to trade, naturally, it was some of the poison-related knowledge of the Tang Sect that he had seized from Tang San.

Jiang Yu had discovered that Tang San truly had quite a lot of good things on him.

Now, Jiang Yu was using Tang San's things to handle his own affairs.

Upon hearing Jiang Yu's request, Qian Renxue agreed without giving it much thought.

Qian Renxue's status as the crown prince of the Heaven Dou Imperial Family was still quite useful.

Only a few days later, a man with dark green hair, a gaunt face, gloomy eyes, and an icy aura that warned strangers to stay away came looking for Jiang Yu.

This man was none other than the Title Douluo, Dugu Bo.

"Kid, the Crown Prince said you were looking for me!"

"What is it? Spit it out!"

Dugu Bo looked at Jiang Yu and spoke impatiently.

Although Dugu Bo served the Heaven Dou Imperial Family, he was ultimately a Title Douluo, and he found Crown Prince "Xue Qinghe's" request rather baffling.

Still, he was the crown prince, and deserved at least some consideration.

Thus, Dugu Bo had come to meet Jiang Yu and see what exactly he wanted.

Jiang Yu paid no mind to Dugu Bo's attitude. Instead, he took several sheets of paper from his robes and handed them over.

"Senior Dugu Bo, I have a few things here."

"You may find them very interesting."

What was recorded on those sheets was a carefully selected and copied portion of the essentials regarding poison theory and antidotes from the Tang Sect's secret techniques.

"Hm? What's with all the mystery?"

Dugu Bo did not think much of it and casually accepted the papers.

In his eyes, what could a brat possibly produce that would interest him?

However, when Dugu Bo's gaze fell upon the papers and he had read only a few lines, his perpetually expressionless, icy face instantly froze.

Dugu Bo abruptly raised his head, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Then, as if possessed, Dugu Bo turned the pages one by one. His breathing grew increasingly rapid, and the fingers gripping the papers gradually turned pale from the excessive force.

"This! This... this is impossible!"

After finishing the last page, the way Dugu Bo looked at Jiang Yu changed completely.

His previous disdain and impatience vanished without a trace, replaced by a complex mixture of shock, wild joy, and urgency.

"Kid!... Where did you get these things!"

"What about the rest?..."

Even Dugu Bo's voice trembled.

Dugu Bo himself was one of the continent's foremost poison experts. No one understood better than he did just how earth-shattering the knowledge recorded on those few pages was!

The principles of poison use and methods of detoxification described within had completely surpassed his existing understanding, opening an entirely new door for him!

More importantly, Dugu Bo saw hope within them!

Hope of resolving the damned poison backlash from his martial soul that afflicted both himself and his granddaughter, Dugu Yan!

"It seems Senior Dugu is very interested in this knowledge."

Seeing Dugu Bo's reaction, a smile appeared at the corner of Jiang Yu's lips.

The fish had taken the bait.

Jiang Yu was not afraid that Dugu Bo would try to seize them by force.

Leaving aside the fact that he was one of Crown Prince Xue Qinghe's people.

Besides, Qian Renxue was with him now, and two Titled Douluo were hiding in the shadows.

If Dugu Bo dared to make a move, he would simply be courting death.

Dugu Bo took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart.

Dugu Bo was no fool either. The other party had not taken out something like this for no reason.

"Speak! What do you want?"

"As long as I, Dugu Bo, can do it, I'll agree to any condition!"

Dugu Bo asked in a deep voice, his tone turning incomparably solemn.

As long as he could cure himself and his granddaughter, he was willing to pay any price.

"Senior Dugu Bo, I once discovered an area in Sunset Forest that is shrouded in poisonous mist year-round. I heard it is your territory."

"I hope to enter that place."

Jiang Yu spoke slowly.

Upon hearing Jiang Yu's words, Dugu Bo immediately became wary.

"Hm!? What are you going there for?"

After all, although Dugu Bo had not figured out what that place truly was, he knew very well that it was the only place where he could suppress the poison within his body. Its importance went without saying.

Jiang Yu seemed to have anticipated Dugu Bo's reaction. Without the slightest panic, he extended his right hand and, with a thought,—

A small blade of grass, blue from top to bottom, quietly grew from his palm.

"My martial soul is Blue Silver Grass."

"That place's special environment can help me cultivate."

"Blue Silver Grass!? Your martial soul is actually Blue Silver Grass!?"

Seeing the martial soul in Jiang Yu's palm, Dugu Bo was stunned. The wariness in his heart immediately lessened somewhat.

"So it's for cultivation!"

That area was indeed exceptionally suitable for the cultivation of plant-type martial souls.

Having figured that out, the last trace of doubt in Dugu Bo's heart vanished as well.

"Fine! I agree!"

"Come with me!"

In Dugu Bo's view, let alone merely allowing Jiang Yu to enter and cultivate, as long as he could solve the martial soul problems of himself and his granddaughter, even giving that area to Jiang Yu would be no issue.

Jiang Yu briefly greeted Qian Renxue, who had come to see him off, signaling for her not to worry before turning and leaving with Dugu Bo.

The two moved at great speed and soon ventured deep into Sunset Forest.

At last, Dugu Bo stopped before a wall of poisonous mist permeated by miasma, a place even birds dared not approach.

Dugu Bo turned back to glance at Jiang Yu, whose expression had not changed. A trace of approval flashed through his eyes, and then he walked in without a word.

Jiang Yu followed close behind.

After passing through the dense green poisonous mist, the view before them suddenly opened up.

Ahead lay a massive valley, and within it were two worlds divided as distinctly as river and sea.

One side was crimson like fire, with waves of heat rolling forth.

The other was frost-white like snow, its cold air piercing to the bone.

Right at the boundary between ice and fire, a strange spring bubbled continuously, half milky white and half vermilion.

At the same time, all kinds of medicinal herbs grew around it.

"Ice Fire Yin Yang Well! I've finally arrived!"

"These Immortal Herbs are all mine!"

Jiang Yu looked at everything before him excitedly.
