How Valuable Is the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well?

"Alright, I'll continue."

Dugu Lin steadied his somewhat disordered breathing and thought, Be angry! The angrier you are now, the deeper your hatred for Tang San will be in the future.

"Twelve years from now, Tang San will come to Heaven Dou City with a group of geniuses. And you, Grandpa—because Tang San used realgar to break Sister's snake poison—you'll become extremely curious about him. Then, you'll capture Tang San and bring him to your medicinal garden!"

At this point, Dugu Lin gritted his teeth. "Everything in the future begins here!"

Hearing this, Dugu Bo furrowed his brows and asked, "Why do you say that?"

Dugu Lin said gravely, "Grandpa, because after being deceived and sweet-talked by Tang San, you gave him your medicinal garden!"

"How is that possible? I wouldn't give that medicinal garden to anyone."

"But what if I told you Tang San solved the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul's flaw? What if he freed both you and Sister from the suffering of the Jade Phosphor Snake Poison's backlash? Ask yourself—if you didn't know Tang San was a scoundrel, would you give him the medicinal garden?"

"This..."

Upon hearing that the snake poison backlash could be cured, Dugu Bo's heart began to stir with excitement.

If the problem of the snake poison backlash could truly be resolved, then in his heart, a medicinal garden was nothing compared to him and his Yan'er.

Seeing Dugu Bo remain silent, Dugu Lin continued, "Grandpa, what if I also told you that medicinal garden is unimaginably valuable—valuable enough to buy ten Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sects! Think about it again. Would you still be willing to give it to someone else?"

"What? It can buy ten Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sects?" Dugu Bo's face was filled with shock as he stared wide-eyed at his grandson.

Thump, thump, thump—

Dugu Yan's heartbeat accelerated as well, and she hurriedly asked, "Little brother, is that shabby medicinal garden really worth as much as you say?"

Although Dugu Yan had never lacked money since childhood, she knew just how wealthy the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was.

Ten Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sects?

How much money was that?

Every soul master on the Douluo Continent knew that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was wealthier than a nation. If it could buy ten Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sects, wouldn't that mean the entire Douluo Continent could be bought?

Dugu Lin said seriously, "Grandpa, you know nothing about your own medicinal garden. You were truly generous—you actually gave that little bastard Tang San... ten Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sects! Impressive, truly impressive!"

A trace of embarrassment appeared on Dugu Bo's face. He felt so guilty that he did not even dare meet his grandson's eyes.

If everything was true, then... he felt too ashamed to go on living.

Dugu Lin put away his mockery and sarcasm, his expression returning to its previous solemnity. "Grandpa, I only learned just before my death how valuable your medicinal garden truly was. That was also when I gained some understanding of it. Your medicinal garden has another name: the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well! And the herbs growing around the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well have another name as well: Immortal Herbs!"

Dugu Bo frowned upon hearing this and murmured to himself, Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well? A rather fitting name.

Dugu Lin continued, "For example, there is an Immortal Herb within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well called the Qiluo Tulip. It can evolve the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. Tell me, wouldn't an Immortal Herb like that be valuable?"

"The Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda!"

Dugu Bo was startled, and the Soul Power within him began to fluctuate again.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had always been searching for a way to overcome the flaw in its Martial Soul. Moreover, the sect had passed down a promise through generations: whoever could solve the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's flaw would certainly be treated as an honored guest of the entire Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect!

However, if the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect learned at this very moment that such an Immortal Herb existed in their medicinal garden, the sect's two elder protectors would probably immediately come to their door carrying the Seven Kill Sword!

An honored guest?

Heh. That would only matter if you were alive enough to be an honored guest! Alive enough to have a future!

"Grandpa!"

Sensing that her grandfather's Soul Power was fluctuating again, Dugu Yan reminded him in dissatisfaction.

"Lin'er, continue."

Dugu Bo suppressed his excited emotions and secretly pondered, Just one herb has such an effect. No wonder he said that medicinal garden is so valuable!

"Alright, then I'll continue."

"First of all, the effects of Immortal Herbs do not stop there. Evolving a Martial Soul is merely their outward manifestation. Their true purpose is to give a soul master the foundation to become a god!"

"The foundation to become a god?"

Dugu Bo was even more astonished, his widened eyes fixed firmly on Dugu Lin. He had lived for so long, yet he still could not be sure whether gods truly existed in this world. Even the Spirit Hall's legend of the Angel God might or might not be true.

Dugu Lin continued, "Back then, Grandpa, you were deceived by Tang San and gave him all the dozens of Immortal Herbs in the medicinal garden. That allowed him to use those Immortal Herbs to rise rapidly in a short time and ultimately become a god! Yet you and Sister... did not receive a single Immortal Herb. You did not even receive lesser medicinal herbs. Grandpa, guess what you and Sister received?"

"I... Haa... Just tell me."

Dugu Bo's breathing grew heavy. His eyes narrowed, and killing intent seemed to rise in his chest.

Dugu Lin was also deeply agitated at this moment. Gritting his teeth, he said, "Back then, Tang San consumed the two Immortal Herbs closest to the spring of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well: the Infernal Delicate Apricot and the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass."

"Of the two Immortal Herbs, one contains Ultimate Fire Poison, while the other contains Ultimate Cold Poison. If a soul master consumes both Immortal Herbs and then leaps into the spring waters of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, they can refine the two herbs. At that time, the soul master will not only greatly increase their physical strength, but also gain immunity to water and fire, along with a Body Immune to All Poisons!"

"And then, the Jade Phosphorous Serpent poison of our Dugu Clan only needs a few drops of that soul master's blood to be cured! So, Grandpa, guess what Tang San gave you? And he even made you serve as his free enforcer for decades because of it. In the end, he caused our family of three to die miserably! You were even directly blasted apart, leaving no intact corpse behind!"

After finishing, Dugu Lin turned and stared straight at Dugu Bo, waiting for his answer, his dissatisfaction toward his grandfather evident in his gaze.

Dugu Bo's face was livid at this moment, the veins on his forehead bulging. The Soul Power within him was on the verge of erupting—he was clearly furious beyond measure!

After hearing this much, how could he possibly not understand that if everything had happened as Dugu Lin said, Tang San had ultimately given him only a few drops of blood!

A few drops of blood!

In exchange, he had given away dozens of Immortal Herbs that held the foundation to become gods, served as a free enforcer for decades, and even caused his family of three to die miserably!

"Damn it! Tang San, you have gone too far!"

Bang!

The stone table before him was smashed to pieces by Dugu Bo's palm.

Dugu Lin had already lifted a cup of tea in advance and slowly took a sip. Then he and Dugu Yan waited quietly at the side for Dugu Bo to calm himself down.

Grandpa is so miserable!

At this moment, even Dugu Yan looked at her grandfather with a strange expression. She had no intention of comforting him.
