Icefire Yin-Yang Well, Dugu Bo's Shock!

Lin Tian raised his hand and waved.

Azure lotus leaves transformed into countless motes of light, merging into the surroundings of the room.

The green poisonous mist on the walls swiftly dissipated.

Dugu Bo's pupils contracted slightly.

His poison had actually been unable to break through the Life Divine Light of the Primordial Chaos Azure Lotus.

Lin Tian looked at him.

"You may continue attacking."

"However, you only have one chance."

"As long as you fail to defeat me, the power of the Nine Nether Beast will fall upon you."

"At that point, whether Master intervenes or not will no longer matter."

Dugu Bo fell silent.

Lin Tian's tone was extremely calm, yet he had already made the outcome clear.

If Dugu Bo won, the matter would naturally end.

But if he lost, he would die here.

A mere level forty-five Soul Ancestor actually dared to force a Titled Douluo into such a position.

Dugu Bo felt deeply uncomfortable.

But he did not attack again.

A moment later, he recalled the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor into his body.

His Soul Rings vanished along with it.

"I was indeed impulsive just now."

Dugu Bo looked at Lin Tian.

"I was in the wrong about this."

"I apologize to you."

Lin Tian shook his head.

"An apology is useless."

Dugu Bo frowned.

"What else do you want?"

"I already said so."

Lin Tian put away the Primordial Chaos Azure Lotus.

"Submit to me."

Dugu Bo's fingers slowly clenched.

A dignified Titled Douluo, submitting to a Soul Ancestor in public.

If word of such a thing got out, he would never be able to hold his head high again.

"Name another condition."

"I can give you Gold Soul Coins, or grant you one request."

"I can even help you do something."

"I don't want any of that."

Lin Tian looked at Dugu Bo.

"If you are unwilling to submit, then die."

The room fell silent once more.

Dugu Bo had not expected Lin Tian to have no intention of yielding whatsoever.

He looked at the two great Martial Souls behind Lin Tian, and a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.

Since Lin Tian dared to propose such a condition, did he truly have a way to deal with his poison?

Dugu Bo's Martial Soul was inherited from the Jade Phosphorous Serpent.

The stronger the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul became, the more potent its poison became.

Yet as its toxicity increased, the backlash also grew more severe.

Over the years, he had relied on Soul Power to suppress the toxins within his body.

By now, the toxins had seeped deep into his bones.

With every cultivation session, the poison in his body grew denser.

His body was also bearing an ever-increasing burden.

Dugu Yan had likewise inherited the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul.

Although her cultivation was not yet high, the toxins had already begun affecting her body.

If she continued cultivating, Dugu Yan would also follow in his footsteps.

Seeing the change in Dugu Bo's expression, Lin Tian said, "If you submit to me, I can help you detoxify."

Dugu Bo abruptly raised his head.

"What did you say?"

"I can help you detoxify."

"You know what poison I carry?"

"The poisonous inheritance of your Martial Soul."

Lin Tian looked at Dugu Bo.

"And the poison within Dugu Yan's body as well."

Dugu Bo's body immediately stiffened.

He had studied Jade Phosphor Snake Poison for years and had sought many solutions.

But the poison brought by a Martial Soul inheritance could not be neutralized by ordinary medicinal herbs at all.

To completely solve the poison problem, he would have to cripple his Martial Soul.

But then, both he and Dugu Yan would lose the ability to cultivate.

"You can cure Jade Phosphor Snake Poison?"

Dugu Bo looked at Lin Tian, his gaze becoming complicated.

"You aren't lying to me?"

"I have no need to lie to you."

Lin Tian said indifferently, "If you do not believe me, you may leave now."

Dugu Bo did not move.

Naturally, he could not possibly leave.

What Lin Tian had just revealed was already enough to ensure he could not give up.

"Where do you want me to take you?"

"The Icefire Yin-Yang Well."

Dugu Bo's expression changed.

"You know about that place?"

"Not only do I know, I also know that it has quite a few medicinal herbs suitable for detoxification."

"How do you know about the Icefire Yin-Yang Well?"

Dugu Bo's tone rose slightly.

The Icefire Yin-Yang Well was his greatest secret.

Apart from him and Dugu Yan, no one knew about that place.

Lin Tian glanced at him.

"Take me there."

"Once we arrive, you will naturally understand."

Dugu Bo remained silent for a long time.

In the end, he lowered his head.

"I can take you there."

"But I will not submit to you."

"Once we get there, if you truly can cure my poison, I will agree to your condition."

Lin Tian nodded.

"Fine."

Dugu Bo let out a breath of relief.

"Are we leaving now?"

"Now."

Lin Tian turned and walked toward the door.

Dugu Bo glanced at the mess covering the floor and raised his hand, releasing Soul Power.

A jade-green radiance swept through the room. The shattered tables and chairs were caught up in poisonous mist and turned to powder in an instant.

Then, he mobilized his Soul Power and directly took Lin Tian out of the room.

Night enveloped the Heaven Dou Great Spirit Arena.

Two figures crossed over the rooftops, swiftly darting into the distance.

Dugu Bo was extremely fast.

Yet Lin Tian stood beside him, his steps always steady.

Even when Dugu Bo increased his speed, he could not shake Lin Tian off.

This left Dugu Bo even more shaken.

He was a Titled Douluo.

Yet Lin Tian could keep up with his speed through physical strength alone.

Just what kind of person had Qian Daoliu trained this disciple into?

Two hours later.

Amid the mountains, a jade-green figure landed at the entrance to a valley.

Dugu Bo turned back to look at Lin Tian.

"The Icefire Yin-Yang Well is inside."

"Without my permission, no one may enter."

"From now on, this place is mine."

Lin Tian stepped forward.

Dugu Bo's expression darkened.

"What do you mean?"

"Before you agree to submit, I have to collect some interest."

Lin Tian did not stop.

"Besides, if I am to detoxify you, I will need to use the medicinal herbs here for a long time."

Dugu Bo snorted coldly.

"As long as you succeed, you may use the Icefire Yin-Yang Well."

The two passed through the valley.

The energy of heaven and earth ahead gradually grew richer.

The air carried both scorching heat and biting cold.

On one side, spring water glowed crimson, waves of heat continuously surging outward.

On the other was a deep-blue icy spring, its surface covered in a thin mist of frost.

The two springs converged in the center, yet did not merge with one another.

The Icefire Yin-Yang Well.

Lin Tian stopped beside the springs.

All sorts of strange plants grew around them.

Crimson flowers, deep-blue vines, and numerous spiritual herbs that gave off medicinal fragrances.

Nourished by the two extreme powers of ice and fire, these herbs possessed medicinal efficacy far beyond that of similar plants outside.

"Grandfather, you're back?"

A voice came from deep within the valley.

A woman hurried over.

She wore a fitted green outfit, her long hair tied behind her.

The instant her jade-green eyes landed on Lin Tian, her expression changed.

"It's you!"

Dugu Yan recognized Lin Tian.

She moved, and jade-green Soul Power suddenly erupted.

"You actually dared to come here with my grandfather!"

Lin Tian did not answer.

Dugu Yan raised her hand, and the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul emerged behind her.

Four Soul Rings rose in succession.

Just as she was about to activate a Soul Skill, several azure vines burst from the ground beneath her feet.

The vines wrapped around her waist and arms, pinning her firmly in place.

"Let me go!"

Dugu Yan continuously mobilized her Soul Power.

But azure patterns surfaced across the vines' surfaces. No matter how she struggled, there was no sign of them loosening.

"You despicable bastard!"

She glared at Lin Tian, her eyes full of fury.

Lin Tian waved a hand.

The vines immediately tightened.

Dugu Yan was dragged before him, her feet leaving the ground.

"You ambushed me on the Soul Battle Platform."

"I was merely making you quiet down."

"You still dare say that!"

"Yan Yan."

Dugu Bo raised a hand.

"Don't act rashly."

Dugu Yan turned to look at him.

"Grandpa, he came here deliberately to cause trouble."

"I brought him here to detoxify us."

"Detoxify?"

Dugu Yan froze for a moment.

She looked back at Lin Tian.

"He can cure Jade Phosphor Snake Poison?"

"Lin Tian said he could."

Dugu Bo walked over to Dugu Yan.

"I'll let him treat me first."

"If he succeeds, then you can undergo treatment."

Dugu Yan still did not believe it.

"Grandpa, you can't trust him."

"He may be strong, but he's only a Soul Ancestor."

"What gives him the right to cure poison that even a Titled Douluo couldn't resolve?"

Dugu Bo offered no explanation.

He raised a hand toward Lin Tian.

"Detoxify me first."

Lin Tian nodded.

"Have him sit beside the Icefire Yin-Yang Well."

Dugu Bo did as instructed and walked to where the spring waters met.

He sat cross-legged, placing both hands on his knees.

Lin Tian walked among the surrounding herb fields, carefully searching for suitable medicinal plants.

Although the Primordial Chaos Azure Lotus possessed powerful Life Force, it could not erase Jade Phosphor Snake Poison out of thin air.

This poison had already fused with Dugu Bo's Soul Power and bloodline.

If it were forcefully purified, his cultivation would be damaged along with it.

The toxicity had to be eased with medicinal herbs first, then gradually separated with Life Force.

Lin Tian stopped before a crimson flower.

Its petals resembled flames, yet its roots were planted near the icy spring.

He raised a hand and plucked the flower.

Then, Lin Tian went to the other side.

A dark-blue spirit herb grew from a crack between the rocks.

Its leaves were covered in a fine layer of frost.

Lin Tian pulled it out, roots and all.

Dugu Bo watched his movements, anticipation gradually appearing in his eyes.

These medicinal herbs were all treasures of the Icefire Yin-Yang Well.

Even he did not dare pick them casually.

Yet Lin Tian found herbs at great speed, and every one precisely matched the changes in the poison within his body.

Lin Tian placed five herbs before Dugu Bo.

"Begin."

Dugu Bo closed his eyes.

Lin Tian sat cross-legged behind him.

The Primordial Chaos Azure Lotus appeared in his palm.

The first black Soul Ring slowly rose.

"All-Heaven Prison Root."

The ground trembled faintly.

Several azure roots rose from the earth, wrapping around Dugu Bo's legs and waist.

Dugu Bo did not resist.

The next moment, Lin Tian crushed the crimson flower and dark-blue spirit herb at the same time.

The medicinal effects became two streams of energy, merging into Dugu Bo's left and right meridians respectively.

Scorching heat and icy cold entered his body at once.

Dugu Bo's body immediately began to change.

The poison that had accumulated within him for years was drawn by the medicinal effects and began moving outward from the core of his Soul Power.

Jade-green Soul Power surged endlessly through his meridians.

A large mass of black-green aura spread outward from his chest.

Dugu Yan stood nearby, her expression gradually turning solemn.

She could see dense black lines emerging along the meridians beneath her grandfather's skin.

Those were the toxins that had accumulated over many years.

"Grandpa!"

Dugu Yan wanted to approach, but the vines blocked her outside.

Lin Tian did not turn around.

"Don't come closer."

"During the treatment, the poison in his body will temporarily run out of control."

"If you inhale the toxic mist, you'll be affected."

Dugu Yan stopped where she was.

She stared at Lin Tian's back, slowly clenching her hands.

Though this man infuriated her, the methods he was using now were indeed unlike ordinary healing soul skills.

Lin Tian raised his right hand.

The Primordial Chaos Azure Lotus bloomed with vast azure light.

Divine life energy flowed through the roots into Dugu Bo's body, enveloping the black-green poison.

The poison lashed out continuously.

Sweat beaded on Dugu Bo's forehead.

The Jade Phosphor Snake Poison in his body had accumulated for decades and had long become an immense force.

Every movement brought pain as if his meridians were being torn apart.

Lin Tian controlled the Life Force and did not destroy the poison directly.

He first had the medicinal effects neutralize its toxicity, then slowly peeled it away from the core of Dugu Bo's Soul Power.

Time passed slowly.

Beside the Icefire Yin-Yang Well, azure light continued to flicker.

The Nine Nether Beast behind Lin Tian also appeared.

The power of destruction formed a barrier, suppressing all toxic mist that leaked into the surroundings.

Two god-tier martial souls operated simultaneously.

The Primordial Chaos Azure Lotus was responsible for purification and restoration.

The Nine Nether Beast was responsible for suppressing the poison.

The toxins within Dugu Bo's body were finally divided into several portions.

Lin Tian manipulated the roots, drawing the densest clump of poison before his palm.

Azure Divine Light continually contracted.

That mass of black-green poison gradually condensed into a crystal the size of a fingernail.

Dugu Bo's body suddenly shuddered.

A brief void appeared in his Soul Power.

Lin Tian placed a hand against the center of his back.

"Guard the core of your Soul Power."

Dugu Bo immediately circulated his Soul Power.

Jade-green Soul Power once again filled his meridians.

Lin Tian threw all the remaining herbs into the point where the spring waters met.

The power of ice and fire surged into the sky.

Crimson and dark-blue light intertwined, forming a dazzling curtain of light.

A vast amount of medicinal energy flowed into Dugu Bo's body through the roots.

The black lines across his chest rapidly faded.

The jade-green tint on his face gradually returned to normal as well.

The poison that had once lurked deep within his meridians continuously gathered from all parts of his body under the combined effects of divine life energy and medicinal power.

One strand.

Two strands.

More and more black-green aura was forced out of Dugu Bo's body.

Lin Tian raised a hand and gathered it all in his palm.

The poison crystal gradually grew larger.

Dugu Yan stood nearby, her gaze never leaving him.

She had followed Dugu Bo since childhood, so she naturally knew just how severe the poison in her grandfather's body was.

Over the years, whenever his poison flared up, he had to endure it alone.

She had also seen his face turn blue-green when the poison backlashed against him.

But now, those toxins were leaving his body bit by bit.

Two full hours passed.

More than half of Lin Tian's Soul Power had been consumed.

Yet the Primordial Chaos Azure Lotus's light had not weakened in the slightest.

The final wisp of black-green aura emerged from Dugu Bo's brow.

Lin Tian raised a hand and drew it in.

That wisp of poison was completely extracted and absorbed into the poison crystal in his palm.

A layer of dark light flashed across the poison crystal's surface.

Then it crumbled directly into powder.

Dugu Bo opened his eyes.

Jade-green Soul Power burst from his body, sweeping through the surroundings.

But this time, that gloomy toxicity was no longer within it.

Lin Tian withdrew the Primordial Chaos Azure Lotus.

The roots wrapped around Dugu Bo slowly retreated underground.

Dugu Bo rose to his feet and carefully sensed his body.

His meridians were unobstructed.

His Soul Power circulated smoothly.

The toxins that had accompanied him for decades had completely vanished.

He raised his hand.

The Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor appeared behind him.

His Soul Rings reappeared.

His martial soul's aura remained powerful, but it no longer carried the toxicity that backlashed against his body.

Dugu Bo stared blankly at his hands.

"It really has been cured?"

He circulated his Soul Power once more.

His body felt no discomfort at all.

The long-standing oppressive sensation in his chest had also completely disappeared.

Having lived for so many years, he had never imagined that he could continue cultivating in such a state.

Dugu Yan hurried to Dugu Bo's side.

"Grandpa, how do you feel?"

"I'm fine."

Dugu Bo looked at Lin Tian.

"The Jade Phosphor Snake Poison really was cured by you."

"Now it's your turn to make a choice."

Lin Tian looked at him calmly.
