In the shadows, within the dense crown of an ancient tree.
A slovenly figure was hidden in the darkness.
Beneath a tattered cloak, a pair of murky yet sharp eyes stared fixedly below.
It was Tang Hao.
"His first Soul Ring is nearly five hundred years old. As expected of my, Tang Hao's, son!"
"Though the Mandala Snake isn't quite compatible, it'll do."
Tang Hao stared intently at the Blue Silver Grass before Tang San.
It was very blue, exactly like hers.
"Ah Yin, did you see that? Our child has Twin Martial Souls."
"His talent surpasses mine a hundredfold. One day, he'll become the strongest person in this world!"
"When that day comes..."
Tang Hao recalled the scenes from back then. His eyes turned bloodshot, his breathing grew ragged, and he gritted his teeth.
"When that day comes, I won't let a single one of those who hurt you go!"
Three days later, deep within Sunset Forest.
Crimson-gold flames coiled around Ye Feng, burning out a vacuum five meters across.
His gaze swept over the valley ahead, shrouded in dense dark-green Poison Barrier, and delight appeared on his face.
"Found it. The Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well is beyond this Poison Barrier."
After a full two days, they had finally found the legendary Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.
At his side, a glimmer appeared in Snow Empress's icy eyes. The terrifying spiritual power of a Seven-Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast spread outward like a tide.
"A poison formation capable of fending off a Soul Douluo is truly rare."
As soon as she spoke, a streak of icy-blue light condensed at Snow Empress's fingertip as she prepared to tap the Poison Barrier.
"Snow Empress, please show mercy!"
Ye Feng hurriedly stopped her.
There were countless Immortal Herbs inside. If even one was damaged, the loss would be enormous.
Snow Empress paused and turned to look at him. "Then how do we get in?"
"It's simple. Snow Empress only needs to release a little of her fierce beast aura." Ye Feng smiled.
A level ninety-two Titled Douluo was no different from a little chick before the Seven-Hundred-Thousand-Year Snow Empress.
Snow Empress nodded slightly. A terrifying pressure of Soul Power abruptly erupted, enveloping the entire poison formation in an instant.
A moment later, the Poison Barrier churned violently.
A dark-green figure rushed out somewhat bedraggled, his face filled with shock and uncertainty.
It was the Poison Douluo, Dugu Bo.
He had been leisurely tending to the poisonous plants in the Medicine Garden when he suddenly sensed a terrifying pressure covering the entire poison formation.
In all his years, this was the first time he had sensed such a terrifying aura!
"I-I wonder which senior has arrived. Dugu Bo failed to welcome you properly. Please forgive me."
But when Dugu Bo saw the newcomers clearly, his pupils suddenly shrank.
Before him stood a silver-haired woman clad in snow-white robes.
Her beauty was cold and peerless. She floated barefoot in the air, with faint ice crystals and snowflakes swirling around her.
What alarmed him even more was that he could not see through this woman's strength at all!
A woman? An ice-type Titled Douluo?
Dugu Bo's mind raced, but he could not think of anyone who matched her.
"What a weak Titled Douluo."
Snow Empress narrowed her icy eyes and turned to Ye Feng. "Should I kill him?"
Dugu Bo's face instantly turned pale. He said in a low voice:
"Senior, if I've done anything to displease you, please tell me. I will certainly correct it."
"But taking someone's life for no reason at all is far too overbearing."
Even a clay figurine had some temper. Even if he died today, he would have to take a bite out of his opponent first!
At that moment, the red-haired youth beside the woman suddenly stepped forward, a harmless smile on his face.
"Senior Dugu, don't be nervous. We're not here to fight."
Dugu Bo warily examined the red-haired youth, then glanced at the silver-haired woman behind him, whose aura was unfathomable. He remained on guard.
"Then what brings you two here?"
"We'd like to borrow your treasured land."
Ye Feng pointed behind the Poison Barrier. "We want to stay inside for a while, and sell you some medicinal herbs while we're at it."
Dugu Bo's expression changed. "This place is where I live in seclusion. How could I..."
Before he could finish, Snow Empress's gaze shifted slightly. The temperature around them plummeted, and a thin layer of ice instantly formed over the ground.
"Lend it to us, or die?"
Her voice was calm, yet it carried an unquestionable chill.
Dugu Bo's Adam's apple bobbed as cold sweat slid down his temples.
This person's strength was far more terrifying than he had imagined!
Dugu Bo clenched his teeth and forced out a smile uglier than crying.
"Lend it! Of course I'll lend it! Please, follow me!"
With a wave of his hand, the Poison Barrier automatically parted to reveal a passage.
Ye Feng followed behind Snow Empress. As he passed Dugu Bo, he even patted his shoulder.
"Don't worry, Senior. We'll only be staying for a while."
Dugu Bo's mouth twitched. Looking at the youth's brilliant smile, he suddenly had an ominous feeling.
Once they passed through the Poison Barrier, the view suddenly opened up.
Red and white springwater mingled together. Heat and cold interwove and rose into the air, while exotic flowers and rare herbs covered the surroundings, their rich medicinal fragrance rushing toward them.
A trace of surprise flashed through Snow Empress's icy eyes.
She had not expected such a treasured place to truly exist in this world.
If a Soul Beast cultivated here, a single year might be worth a thousand.
"Snow Empress, we can plant the Blue Silver Emperor over there."
Ye Feng raised his hand and pointed toward the spring. "The spiritual energy near the spring is the densest, which will help the Blue Silver Emperor recover."
Hearing this, Snow Empress walked straight to the edge of the spring, icy-blue light appearing in her palm.
A slender Blue Silver Grass was gently lifted out and slowly planted in a patch of grass near the spring.
The instant the Blue Silver Grass entered the soil, its roots rapidly spread in all directions, while its leaves swayed softly.
As though it had encountered sweet rain after a long drought, its glow brightened at a visible speed.
Compared with the stone chamber, the environment here was like heaven and earth apart.
Dugu Bo watched from the side, utterly dumbfounded.
What kind of grass was that?
How could it stir such immense vitality?
Watching the Blue Silver Grass spread its leaves beside the spring, Ye Feng nodded in satisfaction. Then he turned to Dugu Bo with a grin.
"Senior, you don't mind if I take some of the herbs here, do you?"
Dugu Bo's mouth twitched, and he gave a dry laugh. "No objection, no objection."
"Little brother, take whatever catches your eye."
Ye Feng nodded and looked toward the center of the spring. He walked directly toward the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the Infernal Delicate Apricot in the middle.
Dugu Bo noticed where Ye Feng was headed, and his expression changed. He hurriedly said, "Little friend, you mustn't touch those two herbs."
"Oh?"
Ye Feng turned around. "What advice do you have, Senior?"
Dugu Bo swallowed and pointed at the two herbs near the spring as he explained, "One of these herbs is extremely cold, while the other is extremely fiery. Even I don't dare approach them under normal circumstances."
"Once you touch them, you'll certainly be reduced to nothing but bones!"
Snow Empress frowned slightly. "Are you confident?"
She had indeed sensed two forces of extreme power from those herbs.
The red one was fine; it shared the same origin as Ye Feng.
But the blue one was likely somewhat dangerous.
Ye Feng smiled and patted his still-not-very-solid chest.
"Don't worry, Snow Empress. Taken separately, these two herbs are indeed deadly poison."
"But if their attributes are used to counterbalance each other, and the ice-fire springwater is used to refine them, it will be an enormous opportunity!"
