"But you hit me in front of so many people. We can't just let that slide."

Dugu Yan's pretty face flushed.

"Anyway, cure my poison first."

"We can talk about everything else later."

Dugu Bo coughed lightly, cutting off his granddaughter.

"Long Tian, state your conditions."

"I don't like owing favors."

Long Tian did not decline.

"I need to enter your herb garden."

Dugu Bo frowned slightly.

"How did you know I have an herb garden?"

"You carry the scent of dozens of medicinal herbs."

Long Tian raised his right hand, and a wisp of Nine-Colored Divine Light flowed around his fingertips.

"Some of those herbs need to grow in an environment where extreme cold and extreme heat coexist."

"There are only a few such places on the entire continent."

The surprise in Dugu Bo's eyes deepened.

That herb garden was one of his greatest secrets.

Even Dugu Yan had only been there a few times.

"You want the herbs inside?"

"I'll cure your poison, and I get to choose from the mature herbs in the garden."

Dugu Bo's expression changed several times.

A great number of rare medicinal herbs grew in the garden.

He did not even know the uses of many of them.

But compared to his and his granddaughter's lives, those herbs were nothing.

"Fine."

The green-haired old man quickly made his decision.

"As long as you can cure the poison, take whatever herbs you want."

Long Tian walked out of the room.

"We leave now."

Dugu Bo was slightly stunned.

"You don't need to prepare anything?"

"Everything needed to treat Jade Phosphor Serpent Poison is in your herb garden."

Long Tian closed the courtyard gate.

"Lead the way."

The three left Heaven Dou City.

The Titled Douluo's Soul Power carried Long Tian and Dugu Yan, and they swiftly entered Sunset Forest.

After passing through vast stretches of dense woodland,

thick jade-green poisonous mist appeared around the outskirts of a valley.

Dugu Bo landed on the ground.

"My Jade Phosphor Poison Formation is set up here."

"Anyone below Soul Sage who enters it will die from poison within half a quarter-hour."

Long Tian stepped forward.

His fourth soul ring slowly lit up.

"All Things Revive, Life Divine Domain."

Jade-green life radiance spread in every direction.

The deadly poison that had filled the valley rapidly retreated to both sides upon touching the Life Divine Domain.

The grass and trees eroded by poison also regained their vitality.

Dugu Bo watched the scene before him, his eyelids twitching repeatedly.

"Even my Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor Poison can be directly purified?"

"Your poison has not completely fused with the laws."

Long Tian walked into the poison formation.

"As long as it remains an element, the Rainbow Dragon can suppress it."

Dugu Yan followed behind him, her eyes shining with wonder.

Her grandfather had roamed the continent for many years, relying on his terrifying poisonous arts.

Countless soul masters would keep their distance at the mere mention of the Poison Douluo.

Yet before Long Tian, Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor Poison could not even get close.

Dugu Bo withdrew the poisonous mist.

"Follow me."

The three crossed the valley.

The terrain ahead suddenly sank downward.

Red and blue radiance shot into the sky from the deepest part of the valley.

An unusual spring then appeared in Long Tian's sight.

Half of the springwater was scarlet, while the other half was milky white.

The two waters met at the center, yet did not blend together.

Scorching heat and freezing mist spread at the same time.

A vast expanse of rare herbs in all manner of shapes grew around the spring.

The rich fragrance of medicine filled the valley.

Long Tian stood before the Icefire Yin Yang Well.

Elemental light continuously flowed within his Nine-Colored Double Pupils.

"The Icefire Yin Yang Well."

"One of the continent's three great treasure basins."

Dugu Bo turned around.

"You even recognize this place?"

Long Tian looked at the medicinal herbs covering the mountainside and plains.

"No wonder you were able to cultivate to the rank of Titled Douluo with Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor Poison."

"Living near the Icefire Yin Yang Well for so long allowed its two extreme powers to suppress the poison within your body."

"If this place did not exist, your own martial soul would have poisoned you to death long ago."

Dugu Bo did not refute him.

The green-haired old man looked at the herbs around him.

"Though I have occupied this place for many years, I cannot identify all these things."

"Since you recognize them, choose whatever you want."

Long Tian walked deeper into the herb garden.

"Then I won't stand on ceremony."

The Icefire Yin Yang Well.

Scarlet and milky-white springwater slowly swirled.

Long Tian came before a large pale pink flower.

The flower had no leaves, but its stalk was as thick as a wrist.

A faint fragrance spread around it.

As soon as poisonous insects nearby approached, they quickly retreated.

Dugu Yan looked at the large flower.

"What is this?"

"Aromatic Silk Beauty."

Long Tian crouched down.

"It cannot detoxify on its own, but it can restrain the vast majority of poisons."

"As long as you stand within the range of its fragrance, ordinary lethal poisons cannot take effect."

Dugu Bo's expression shifted slightly.

This herb had grown in the valley for many years.

The green-haired old man only knew that it could suppress poisonous mist, but did not know its true origins.

Long Tian continued onward.

A snow-white orchid grew beside a jade stone.

Its petals swayed gently, releasing a distant, refined fragrance.

"Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid."

"Its medicinal nature is mild. It can strengthen one's foundation, replenish vital energy, and remove impurities from the body."

Several steps away,

a golden tulip slowly unfurled beneath the spring's radiance.

At the center of its pistil, a layer of precious light gathered.

"Aromatic Silk Beauty."

"After consuming it, one can absorb the essence of heaven and earth, allowing treasure-type martial souls to undergo sublimation."

Dugu Yan blinked.

"Does every herb here have such powerful effects?"

Long Tian did not stop walking.

"No herb capable of growing around the Icefire Yin Yang Well is ordinary."

On the other side of the herb garden,

a massive chrysanthemum bloomed in the wind.

Its petals were a brilliant purple, each one gleaming like jade.

"Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum."

"After consuming it, one's energy flows through the limbs and blood through the eight meridians, allowing one to forge an indestructible adamantine body."

Beside it grew a verdant herb with three snow-white leaves at its tip.

Several crystalline drops of dew hung at the center of the leaves.

"Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew."

"It can temper the eyes and enhance spiritual power and perception."

With every name Long Tian spoke, Dugu Bo's expression became more colorful.

Having guarded this herb garden for years,

the Poison Douluo only knew how to use a small number of its herbs to ease his poison.

As for the true immortal-grade herbs, he had never dared touch them carelessly.

Dugu Yan walked up to a red flower.

It resembled a peony, yet its petals gave off no fragrance at all.

A pitch-black stone was connected beneath the flower.

"Is this flower also an immortal-grade herb?"

Long Tian turned to look.

"Lovesick Heartbreak Red."

"A divine treasure among immortal-grade herbs."

"The picker must think of their beloved and spit a mouthful of heart's blood onto the petals."

"If their feelings are sincere, the flower will fall off by itself."

Dugu Yan glanced at Long Tian.

"Do you want to try?"

"I have no beloved."

Long Tian withdrew his gaze.

"Trying by force will only harm yourself."

Dugu Yan gave a light snort.

"So many girls at Skywater Academy surround you, yet there isn't a single one you like?"

"Whether they like me has nothing to do with whether I have a beloved."

Long Tian walked toward the two sides of the Icefire Yin Yang Well.

Beside the frigid springwater, a white herb grew quietly.

An octagonal ice crystal had condensed at the center of its leaves.

Merely approaching within a few steps caused the cold to affect the Soul Power within one's meridians.

Beside the scorching springwater on the other side, a scarlet plant resembling a cabbage grew.

Fiery-red liquid continuously dripped from the surface of its leaves.

The moment it fell to the ground, it burned holes into the hard rock.

Dugu Bo spoke in warning:

"These two herbs are extremely dangerous."

"I once approached them, and nearly had my meridians invaded by the cold and fire poison."

Long Tian nodded lightly.

"Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass."

"Infernal Delicate Apricot."

"One is intensely cold, the other intensely hot."

"Consuming either one alone would kill a Soul Master on the spot."

Dugu Yan looked at the two immortal herbs.

"What if they are consumed together?"

"The two extreme medicinal properties will counteract each other."

Long Tian raised his hand.

"Then, with the Icefire Yin Yang Well tempering the body, one can obtain a body immune to both water and fire."

Dugu Bo's gaze shifted.

"You intend to take them?"

"There is no need for that for now."

Long Tian possessed the Rainbow Dragon bloodline.

Fire and ice had always been part of his power.

The two immortal herbs could strengthen his physique, but they could not bring any fundamental improvement to a Rainbow Dragon.

Their value would be greater if they remained in the Rainbow Dragon Staff and continued growing.

Long Tian raised his right hand.

A staff flowing with seven-colored divine light slowly appeared in his palm.

A massive dragon pearl was embedded at the top of the staff.

Sacred dragon might descended upon the valley.

The two springs within the Icefire Yin Yang Well also rippled faintly at that moment.

Dugu Bo instinctively retreated half a step.

"What weapon is that?"

"The Rainbow Dragon Staff."

Long Tian tapped the ground with his staff.

Nine-Colored Divine Light spread from the dragon pearl.

A spatial portal several meters tall appeared in the center of the herb garden.

On the other side of the portal, seven elements slowly circulated.

Vast land was enveloped in divine life light.

A clear river ran through the medicinal fields, while several elemental mountains stood in the distance.

This was the world within the Rainbow Dragon Staff.

As Long Tian's cultivation had reached Soul Ancestor, part of the super divine artifact's space could now be opened.

Dugu Yan walked to the side of the spatial portal.

"There's actually a world of its own inside?"

"At present, only a small portion can be opened."

Long Tian looked at the immortal herbs filling the valley.

"Still, it is more than enough for growing medicinal herbs."

Dugu Bo finally realized what was happening.

"You're planning to empty this old man's herb garden?"

"You promised that I could choose any mature herbs I wanted."

Long Tian raised the Rainbow Dragon Staff.

"I want all the mature medicinal herbs here."

The muscles on the green-haired old man's face twitched several times.

"You truly aren't polite at all."

"Your life and Dugu Yan's life should be more important than these herbs."

Dugu Bo was momentarily speechless.

After a moment, the green-haired old man waved his hand.

"Take them."

"Since this old man agreed, I will not go back on my word."

Nine-Colored Divine Light enveloped the entire herb garden.

Long Tian did not simply pull out the immortal herbs.

Life energy entered the ground, completely separating the herbs' roots and stems from the surrounding soil.

Aromatic Silk Beauty flew into the Rainbow Dragon Staff first.

It was followed by the Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid, Aromatic Silk Beauty, Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, and Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew.

Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone, Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower, and Nine-Grade Purple Ganoderma were also transferred into the divine artifact's space.

Every immortal herb retained its complete roots and the soil in which it had grown.

Lovesick Heartbreak Red, along with the Wujue Stone, was placed separately at the center of the Life Divine Domain.

The Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Infernal Delicate Apricot were planted beneath the two elemental mountains of ice and fire respectively.

Besides these immortal herbs.

The Snow Silkworm, Cinnabar Lotus, Purple Salvia Root, Earth Dragon Golden Gourd, and Dragon Ganoderma Leaf in the herb garden also entered the Rainbow Dragon Staff one after another.

Dozens of high-grade medicinal herbs.

Hundreds of rare spirit medicines.

All were transferred beneath the Nine-Colored Divine Light.

If placed in the outside world, every one of these immortal herbs would be a divine treasure capable of changing a Soul Master's fate.

Long Tian did not drain the pond to catch the fish.

All the immature sprouts and seeds were left where they were.

After the Life Divine Domain covered the herb garden, the vitality within the soil recovered.

As long as the Icefire Yin Yang Well remained, this herb garden could still produce new immortal herbs in the future.

Dugu Bo looked at the valley, now more than half empty, and the corner of his eye twitched continuously.

"This old man guarded this place for so many years, only for it all to benefit you in the end."

Long Tian put away the Rainbow Dragon Staff.

"You did not recognize them."

"Even if they remained here, you would only be looking at them."

Dugu Yan came to where the spatial portal had vanished.

"What are you planning to do with so many herbs?"

"Refine medicine, cultivate, train a team."

Long Tian looked at the grandfather and granddaughter.

"Some of them can also be used to detoxify the two of you."

Dugu Bo's expression turned serious.

"What do you need this old man to do?"

"We'll start with you."

Long Tian walked toward an open area beside the Icefire Yin Yang Well.

"Sit."

Beside the Icefire Yin Yang Well.

Dugu Bo sat cross-legged in the middle of the clearing.

The Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor martial soul rose behind him.

Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, black.

Nine soul rings slowly revolved around his body.

As soon as the dense poisonous mist appeared, the nearby grass and trees began to wither.

Long Tian sat down opposite him.

"Your Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor Poison has already entered your internal organs and bone marrow."

"If it is purified directly, most of your cultivation will disappear along with it."

Dugu Bo frowned deeply.

"Is there a way to preserve my poison arts?"

"Yes."

Long Tian looked at the green-haired old man's forehead.

"You possess a Medusa Head Soul Bone within your body."

"I will strip the deadly poison from your flesh and blood and draw it all into the soul bone."

"From now on, the soul bone will serve as a container for storing the poison."

Dugu Bo raised a hand to touch his forehead.

This Medusa Head Soul Bone was one of his greatest trump cards.

Long Tian had identified the soul bone's location accurately with just one glance.

"Will placing all the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor Poison into the soul bone damage its origin?"

"Your soul bone originally came from a highly poisonous soul beast."

Long Tian took out several pieces of Nine-Grade Purple Ganoderma and petals from an Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid.

"Allowing the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor Poison to enter it will only further strengthen the soul bone."

"The truly dangerous part is the process of stripping away the poison."

Dugu Yan stood nearby.

"What dangers will there be?"

"The poison has already fused with his meridians and bone marrow."

Long Tian placed the two medicinal herbs into the center of the Icefire Yin Yang Well.

"Forcefully separating them will cause widespread damage."

"The Life Divine Domain will repair his body at the same time."

"As long as he circulates his Soul Power according to my guidance, nothing will happen."

Dugu Bo did not ask any further questions.

"Begin."

Long Tian raised the Rainbow Dragon Staff.

A strand of crimson spring water and a strand of milky-white spring water flew out from the Icefire Yin Yang Well at the same time.

The two streams met in midair.

The Nine-Grade Purple Ganoderma and Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid rapidly melted into a mass of purple-white medicinal liquid.

"Drink it."

Dugu Bo opened his mouth and swallowed the medicinal liquid.

The gentle medicinal power quickly spread through his meridians.

His internal organs, previously corroded by poison, immediately received a layer of protection.

Long Tian extended both palms.

Nine-Colored Divine Light entered Dugu Bo's body.

The Rainbow Dragon's Heart began to beat.

Life energy and poison energy were drawn at the same time by the power of the true dragon.
