Ice-Fire Yin-Yang Eyes

"You really are meticulous, kid. I didn't expect you to guess even that."

Dugu Bo naturally did not believe Yun Tian's explanation just now, but everyone had a few secrets, didn't they? As long as he knew the other party meant him no harm, that was enough.

He nodded, then said helplessly, "That's true, but this old man has no way to treat it either. Since you could see it, could it be that you have some method of treatment?"

After saying that, Dugu Bo secretly glanced at Yun Tian. Seeing that he still wore a thoughtful expression, he simply told him about his herb garden.

"This old man has only been able to suppress this illness thanks to a herb garden I discovered in Sunset Forest."

"Ahem, I haven't said anything yet."

"Were you waiting for this old man to say that? Who told you? Yan Yan?"

Yun Tian nodded, but that gesture made Dugu Bo's heart turn cold. His granddaughter really had become a leaky little cotton jacket; she was already taking outsiders' side.

Over all these years, Dugu Bo had been able to advance so quickly into the Title Douluo realm without dying from his own poison's backlash. At the very least, he owed the Ice-Fire Yin-Yang Eyes a kowtow.

As for the fact that he was sitting on a treasure trove without realizing it, Yun Tian could understand that too.

After all, he did not even know what the herbs inside could do. If he carelessly ate one and something went wrong, wouldn't that be a disaster?

"Alright, then this old man will take you to have a look. Hold on tight!"

Without another word, Dugu Bo grabbed Yun Tian and flew toward Sunset Forest. Yun Tian could only feel helpless. He could fly too!

After some time, as the scenery below rushed past, an endless sea of forest spread out before them. It was Sunset Forest.

Towering ancient trees rose and fell in an unbroken expanse, their branches interwoven. From above, sunlight could barely penetrate the forest.

"We're here. Follow this old man."

The two slowly descended. As if returning home, Dugu Bo strolled in a certain direction, and Yun Tian followed after him.

Within the forest, the dark brown soil beneath their feet was damp and soft. From time to time, broken beast bones lay quietly amid the fallen leaves. A breeze passed through the woods, carrying not only the scent of vegetation but also a faint, barely perceptible stench of poison.

Sunset Forest could be called Dugu Bo's home ground. Poisonous miasma and toxic fumes were everywhere; an ordinary soul master would definitely be unable to endure staying here for long.

"This old man will take you around this area first, so you don't lose your way later."

"Thanks, Old Poison!"

The moment Yun Tian heard that, he knew Dugu Bo truly considered him one of his own. He was even worried that Yun Tian would not know the way to the Ice-Fire Yin-Yang Eyes.

"By the way, since you know the uses of that herb garden, could the thing that treats this illness be in there too?"

"More or less. But most of those herbs only have one plant each. If you and Yan Yan are both to be treated, I'll have to do it myself."

At those words, Dugu Bo halted. What had he just heard? Both he and Yan Yan could be treated?

"What do you mean by that? Could Yan Yan also be tormented by this illness?"

Dugu Bo knew his granddaughter's condition. Her hair and eye colors were proof that the poison had affected her, but he had never imagined that she would eventually become like him.

From beginning to end, he had clung to a sliver of hope. If his granddaughter could successfully break through to Title Douluo, could she suppress the poison like he had?

"Old Poison, you aren't thinking of having Yan Yan break through to Title Douluo before suppressing the poison, are you? I'll tell you in the bluntest, most straightforward, and cruelest terms: Yan Yan won't live long enough to break through to Title Douluo."

"How... how could that be possible... Kid, if you really have a way to cure Yan Yan, this old man would give you his life!"

For the first time, such violent turmoil appeared in Dugu Bo's eyes. Dugu Yan was his only family in this world. His son and daughter-in-law had both died from poison backlash. He did not want to lose Yan Yan too.

That was why Dugu Bo had such inexplicable confidence in Dugu Yan. Their cultivation talents were entirely different. Dugu Yan's talent was not particularly high to begin with; without fortunate encounters and resources, reaching Title Douluo was almost impossible.

Dugu Bo himself had also relied on the energy emitted by the Ice-Fire Yin-Yang Eyes. It not only suppressed his poison but also aided his cultivation. How was that not a great fortuitous encounter?

Patting Dugu Bo on the arm, Yun Tian revealed a faint smile. "Don't worry, Old Poison. Since I can point out the problem, I naturally have a way to help you!"

"Is that true? Then hurry up! This old man is dying of anxiety!"

Upon hearing Yun Tian's promise, Dugu Bo was overjoyed. He had not misjudged him—this kid really was capable!

He grabbed Yun Tian's hand and headed deeper inside, completely forgetting what he had just said about letting Yun Tian walk slowly and memorize the route.

Before long, a barrier thick with Jade Phosphor Snake poison appeared before them. Dugu Bo did not even spare it a glance. With a wave of his hand, he directly opened a passage through it.

That was only because he had Yun Tian to consider. Otherwise, Dugu Bo could have passed straight through the poisonous mist.

Deep in Sunset Forest, a ring of mountains surrounded a secluded valley. This was the Ice-Fire Yin-Yang Eyes, known as one of the world's three great treasure basins!

Upon entering, Yun Tian finally felt the true magnificence of the Ice-Fire Yin-Yang Eyes.

Immortal herbs grew everywhere, freely stretching out their branches. The dense spiritual energy had nearly become tangible as it spread over their leaves like a thin veil.

Multicolored spiritual light flowed among the flowers and leaves, while misty medicinal fragrances drifted on the wind.

Thanks to the Ice-Fire Yin-Yang Eyes formed after the Ice-Fire Dragon Kings fell, they grew so rapidly here. Yet even so, they still required several hundred years to mature.

At the center of the valley lay a strange pool. The conflicting attributes and colors on its two sides resembled a yin-yang symbol.

The left half was entirely icy blue. The water exuded a profound chill, with fragments of ice crystals floating on its surface. Bone-piercing cold spread through the surroundings; anyone who approached would instantly find their skin coated in white frost.

The right half was entirely crimson. Scalding spring water continuously churned, and the heat waves it gave off were so intense that they distorted the air, raising a faint red mist.

The ultimate powers of ice and fire were clearly divided, yet slowly merged along the central line. Red and blue mist intertwined and spiraled, forming an eternal boundary.

After taking a rough look around, aside from the Star Anise Mysterious Ice Grass and Inferno Apricot Delicate above the Ice-Fire Yin-Yang Eyes, the rest were the immortal herbs from the surroundings that had been clearly described in the original work.

Immortal herbs such as Serene Fragrance Silk Immortal Herb, Qiluo Tulip, Lovesick Heartbroken Red, Nine-Grade Purple Ganoderma, and Phoenix-Tail Cockscomb.

No wonder this is the number one must-eat item for Douluo transmigrators. Even I'm getting a little tempted just looking at it!

Yun Tian gazed at this patch of untouched "fortuitous encounters," his eyes filled with anticipation.
