Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye Has a Poison Array? Then Just Dig a Tunnel

If the Nine-Star Begonia were not limited to a single bloodline, with at most two people appearing in any one era, then the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Clan would not even be worthy of carrying its shoes.

Dugu Yan shook her head. "It's fine."

After making his move against Dugu Yan, Wang Chen did not leave Heaven Dou City right away. Instead, he went to an apothecary and bought several pieces of Hundred-Year Whale Glue, three pieces of Thousand-Year Whale Glue, and one piece of Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Glue.

Only then did Wang Chen leave Heaven Dou City, heading straight northwest.

After arriving at Sunset Forest, Wang Chen did not rashly enter to search for the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye.

Instead, he used his head soul bone's skill to control nearby soul beasts, then located the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye through them.

Wang Chen was actually quite puzzled.

The original novel had clearly stated that it was in the basin formed by a dead volcanic crater at the center of Sunset Forest.

At its center was an oval spring, sharply divided into half red and half blue, neither side disturbing the other.

On the left was a vermilion, scorching yang spring, bubbling away as heat steamed into the air, its blazing temperature oppressive.

On the right was an ice-blue, freezing yin spring, its chill bone-piercing, frost forming over the water while white mist curled around it.

Where cold and heat met, multicolored immortal mist drifted through the air, the spiritual energy so dense it seemed impossible to disperse.

Under the sunlight, specks of light could be seen dancing through the air with the naked eye, while the soil beneath was jade-like, pearlescent earth.

Such a strange sight would definitely stand out from the sky and be extremely eye-catching.

Douluo was a world where people could fly, and Sunset Forest was not like Star Dou Great Forest, where there were vast numbers of hundred-thousand-year soul beasts such that even Titled Douluo could not act recklessly.

Sunset Forest was also a major hunting ground for soul masters seeking soul beasts. Countless Soul Douluo and Titled Douluo came here to hunt soul rings.

Even Dugu Bo could treat Sunset Forest like his backyard, coming and going whenever he pleased.

Spirit Hall had existed for more than ten thousand years, yet there was still no record of anyone discovering the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye. That was highly unreasonable.

But when he thought of all the unreasonable parts of the Douluo world, which resembled a sieve full of holes that fell apart under scrutiny, Wang Chen stopped dwelling on it.

After locating the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye, Wang Chen did not head over immediately, because the mental seed he had planted in Dugu Yan's sea of consciousness had yet to erupt.

There was still a chance that Dugu Bo might find him.

He had no desire to fight Dugu Bo. There was no need.

Fighting would be nothing more than a waste of faith power.

Using a thousand-year soul beast controlled through his head soul bone, Wang Chen arrived outside the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye.

Within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye were Jade Phosphorus Seven Absolute Flowers planted by Dugu Bo, as well as a concealed poison array filled with deadly toxins. Anyone who barged in carelessly could easily be poisoned to death.

Fortunately, Wang Chen had learned some basic medicine from his father, and he had also obtained numerous books on medicinal herbs and related subjects from the rewards Qian Renxue had given him.

He had done some research into the poison of the Jade Phosphorus Seven Absolute Flower and had some understanding of the poison array.

Wang Chen swallowed an ordinary antidote pill that he had refined himself.

This ordinary antidote pill could not cure Dugu Bo's poison, but it could suppress it effectively.

Wang Chen would not foolishly assume that taking an ordinary antidote pill would let him withstand Dugu Bo's poisonous mist and ignore both the Jade Phosphorus Seven Absolute Flower's poison and Dugu Bo's poison.

He was not that stupid.

He took the pill only to prevent a soul beast that had accidentally entered the poison array and picked up some poison from lingering on the outskirts, causing him to unknowingly come into contact with a trace of poison and waste the faith power within the Divine Spark Seed.

Wang Chen had never intended to force his way through Dugu Bo's poison array to enter the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye.

Before coming to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye, he had already made a plan: he would use a soul beast to clear the way for him.

The thousand-year soul beast Wang Chen controlled did not have the ability to withstand Dugu Bo's poison array head-on.

Fortunately, the soul beast under Wang Chen's control could dig.

Wang Chen controlled the soul beast to dig a tunnel dozens of meters underground, bypassing Dugu Bo's poison array.

They entered the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye.

Wang Chen stared at the scene before him with a face full of delight.

The ground of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye was indeed just as the original novel had described: spiritual energy was abundant, cold and heat blended together at its center while remaining distinctly separate, creating an unexpectedly harmonious sight.

The ground felt warm and smooth beneath his feet, radiating faint energy.

In an environment like this, even a random weed thrown here could become a top-tier spiritual herb after surviving for tens of thousands of years.

What drew Wang Chen's attention most was the center of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye, along with the two immortal herbs—poisons—growing there.

Wang Chen looked toward the center of the ice spring. There stood a large white flower with the texture of ice crystal, gleaming stamens, and eight petals like carved ice.

Though he was still ten meters away, he could feel the piercing chill it released, as well as the cold poison contained within that chill.

Before even approaching it, Wang Chen could already sense that the cold poison could freeze a person's blood and leave their veins sluggish.

Although it was poisonous, Wang Chen stared at the large flower with shining eyes.

If Wang Chen remembered correctly, this flower was the poisonous immortal herb Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, which could grant ice immunity and enable ice-attributed people to cultivate ultimate ice.

At the center of the yang spring on the other side stood a completely fiery-red plant with gold-edged leaves, surrounded by heat and shaped like a cabbage. It was the immortal-grade poisonous herb Fiery Apricot Delicate.

Standing roughly ten meters away from the plant, Wang Chen could feel the rolling heat waves rising from the yang spring below it.

The heatwave warped the air around it. Even Wang Chen, standing far away, felt his skin burning from the scorching blast.

Mixed within the heatwave was the fiery poison emitted by the Fiery Apricot Delicate, hidden from sight.

The fire poison was violent, making Wang Chen feel as though his blood itself were burning.

The Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the Fiery Apricot Delicate were both highly poisonous herbs when consumed separately. Yet if taken together, their poisons could neutralize one another, achieving a balance of yin and yang.

This was what Wang Chen felt as he stood more than ten meters away, facing the ice- and fire-aspected poisons surging from the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Fiery Apricot Delicate within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye.

When Wang Chen circulated the cultivation technique he had developed himself, the effects of the two poisons could cancel each other out and fade away.

However, Wang Chen's current cultivation technique was not yet enough to let him swallow the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Fiery Apricot Delicate directly at the center of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye, then safely absorb their medicinal power.

The reason was that Wang Chen's physique was still not strong enough.

Still, Wang Chen was in no hurry. He still had whale glue in his possession, and the area around the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye contained a great number of spiritual herbs, medicinal plants, immortal grasses, and immortal medicines.

Wang Chen planned to first absorb Hundred-Year Whale Glue, then thousand-year whale glue and ten-thousand-year whale glue, using them to temper his body. After that, he would absorb the other immortal herbs in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye to raise his physical strength again.

At the same time, he would adjust his cultivation technique according to how his meridians reacted to the faint poisonous vapors drifting from the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Fiery Apricot Delicate within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye.

He would continue until he developed a method capable of refining the poisonous vapors emitted by the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Fiery Apricot Delicate at the same time.

Wang Chen sat cross-legged on the ground, a little over nine meters away from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye.

Wang Chen took out a piece of Hundred-Year Whale Glue.
