The journey was silent, with only the whistling wind in their ears.
After an unknown amount of time, the two finally landed.
Su Changqing felt the environment and nodded sincerely.
The air gradually changed, carrying a faint, peculiar scent mixed with the fragrance of various plants.
"Not a bad speed, you actually managed to catch up to this old man."
Although Dugu Bo's tone was calm, he was inwardly extremely shocked.
As a Title Douluo, he had almost failed to keep up with a Soul King!
"Be careful this time, the poison array I set up is ahead. If you take one wrong step..."
A sinister smile appeared on Dugu Bo's face.
"Even immortals can't save you!"
"Oh."
Su Changqing merely responded with an "Oh," then golden light erupted around him, and he walked straight into the poison array.
"Hey! Kid!"
Under Dugu Bo's astonished gaze, Su Changqing passed through the poison array unharmed.
This scene completely stunned Dugu Bo!
Even Title Douluo wouldn't dare to easily step into the poison array he had set up. Even if their Martial Soul had some immunity to poison, it was impossible to pass through so easily!
Unbelievable! Too unbelievable!
Could it be a legendary God-Bestowed Spirit?
After passing through the poison array, Su Changqing seemed to instantly enter another world.
The Heaven and Earth Origin Energy, so dense it was almost tangible, washed over him, causing every pore on his body to involuntarily open.
The first thing that met his eyes were the two springs, like jewels embedded in the valley.
One was milky white, the other crimson red. They mingled yet remained distinct, emitting a misty aura of intertwined heat and extreme cold.
It was the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well!
Around the springs, various exotic flowers and plants were scattered, many of them rare treasures seldom seen in the outside world.
Aromatic Silk Beauty, Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, Infernal Delicate Apricot... Each Immortal Herb emanated a hazy glow and unique energy fluctuations, making the entire valley appear like a fairyland.
Even though Su Changqing had been mentally prepared, seeing this natural wonder with his own eyes stirred a ripple in his heart.
What a rare and precious place!
Dugu Bo suppressed his shock and walked in.
"Let's see how you plan to cure my poison."
Su Changqing smiled slightly. "Curing your poison isn't difficult. As repayment for using this place, I'll help you, senior."
With that, Su Changqing took out an Alchemy Furnace from his Storage Bag and then picked several Immortal Herbs in front of Dugu Bo.
He skillfully ground the various difficult medicinal ingredients, then threw them into the furnace to begin refining.
The entire process was fluid and graceful, possessing a unique aesthetic, as if he had practiced it thousands of times.
Watching Su Changqing's movements, Dugu Bo couldn't help but show admiration.
As a master of poison, he naturally recognized that this skill in preparing medicine was not something achieved in a day. Without years of immersion, such mastery would be impossible.
After a long while, Su Changqing finished refining the medicine.
"Senior, please."
Su Changqing handed over the jade bowl.
Dugu Bo looked at the bowl of medicinal liquid with complex emotions.
He had spent his life playing with poison, and now he had to take an unknown potion prepared by a young man he had known for less than a day. How ironic and risky this was for him.
But thinking of Yan Yan, thinking of that sliver of hope, he gritted his teeth, took the jade bowl, and drank it all in one gulp.
As the liquid entered his throat, a refreshing coolness instantly spread, then transformed into a gentle energy that flowed through his limbs and bones. Dugu Bo immediately sat down cross-legged and circulated his Soul Power to guide the medicinal effects.
Su Changqing quietly guarded him, speaking at the opportune moment, "Senior, please guide the medicinal energy to the Glabella, Tanzhong, and Guanyuan acupoints, and gently cleanse them."
Dugu Bo followed his instructions.
At first, he didn't feel much, but gradually, he keenly sensed that the persistent pain in the depths of his meridians, which had always felt like an attached bone ulcer, was actually beginning to dissolve and lessen bit by bit!
Especially the chronic stinging sensation in his Glabella had significantly eased!
He hadn't experienced such a feeling of relief in a very long time.
"Senior, there's one last crucial step!"
Su Changqing unleashed his Power of Light, injecting a portion of Mirai's strength into it.
Instantly, the Power of Light, combined with the medicine, caused Dugu Bo's body to undergo a cleansing effect!
About the time it takes for a stick of incense to burn, Dugu Bo slowly opened his eyes, exhaling a long breath of turbid air that carried a faint fishy smell.
The way he looked at Su Changqing had completely changed.
The killing intent and suspicion from before had all turned into shock and a hint of barely concealed excitement.
"This medicine... it really works!"
Dugu Bo's voice trembled slightly.
"You need to come see me for the next seven days, and your illness will be cured after seven days," Su Changqing said calmly.
"Good! Good! Good!"
Dugu Bo said "good" three times in a row. He stood up abruptly and patted Su Changqing's shoulder with such force that Su Changqing swayed.
"Kid, no, young friend Su! This old man has offended you before! From today onwards, you can live here with peace of mind! If you need any medicinal ingredients, just ask! As long as you can cure Yan Yan and this old man's poison, you can take whatever you want from this medicine garden!"
At this moment, Dugu Bo truly regarded Su Changqing as an equal, or even a "savior."
"You flatter me, senior," Su Changqing replied humbly.
"This junior also needs to use this blessed land to cultivate. After curing senior's illness, I will need to go into seclusion for a period. During this time, I'm afraid I will have to trouble senior a lot."
"No trouble! Besides this old man, no outsiders ever disturb this place. You can rest assured here."
Dugu Bo waved his hand grandly, in an extremely good mood.
"There are some simple wooden huts in the valley. You can choose one to live in. If you have any needs, you can signal at the valley entrance, and this old man will sense it and come."
Su Changqing smiled.
"Thank you. After I finish my seclusion, I will help your granddaughter remove the toxins."
"No problem."
With that, Dugu Bo handed a small bag to Su Changqing.
"Here is the Ruyi Treasure Pouch you wanted. It's yours now."
Su Changqing didn't stand on ceremony and accepted it with a smile.
"Thank you."
After a few more words of instruction, Dugu Bo left impatiently.
He was eager to see his granddaughter, Dugu Yan, and to consider how to arrange subsequent matters.
At this moment, only Su Changqing remained in the valley.
He looked around this spiritual and beautiful treasure land, the corners of his mouth curling upwards.
The first step of the plan was successful!
Next, he would use the resources here to improve his strength as quickly as possible.
He needed to reach level sixty before the Spirit Master Competition. With such cultivation, he might have a chance to escape from Tang Hao.
Since he was already on Tang San's kill list, he had to improve his strength quickly to eliminate that damned father and son!
Thinking of this, Su Changqing arrived at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
Near the spring, the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum and Infernal Delicate Apricot glowed.
"I'll start with you guys!"
