Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well

Ye Yuan stood before the window, watching the fine raindrops falling from the sky, his eyes flickering slightly.

He searched through the memories of his previous life.

The moment he heard the name Dugu Bo, a fragment of memory flashed through his mind.

Dugu Bo... Sunset Forest... Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well!

That place had the finest immortal herbs on the entire continent.

Ye Yuan turned around and looked at the somewhat puzzled Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue, speaking with a serious expression.

"Dong'er, Xue'er. Dugu Bo truly cannot cure them, but as far as I know, deep within Sunset Forest, there is a treasured place known as the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well."

"Because of its unique terrain, countless immortal herbs grow there, capable of completely transforming a person in a short time."

"The reason Tang San grew so quickly in his previous life was largely because he monopolized the opportunity presented by those immortal herbs. He used them to cleanse his own meridians and marrow, as well as those of the Shrek group."

"Peerless immortal herbs?"

Qian Renxue planted her little feet on the floor and frowned in confusion.

"Sunset Forest has things like that?"

"That's right."

Ye Yuan pointed at Sunset Forest's location on the map.

"With Tang San and the others severely injured, their only trump card is to count on Dugu Bo taking them to Sunset Forest to pick immortal herbs for treatment. Since we learned of this in advance, we absolutely cannot give them that chance!"

"Elder Ghost!"

Ye Yuan suddenly called out loudly.

"This subordinate is here."

A swirl of black mist flashed through the air, and Ghost Douluo dropped to one knee.

"Go invite Elder Yue Guan."

"Yes!"

A moment later, Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan strode in. After bowing, he asked somewhat doubtfully.

"This subordinate, Yue Guan, greets the Grand Consecrator, Her Majesty the Pope, and His Highness the Holy Son. May I ask why Your Highness summoned this subordinate so late at night?"

Ye Yuan looked at Yue Guan and smiled faintly.

"Elder Chrysanthemum, you have loved strange flora all your life. Have you ever heard that there is a mature Qiluo Sky Chrysanthemum in Sunset Forest?"

At the mention of that immortal herb, Yue Guan was struck as though by lightning.

His somewhat effeminate eyes widened round, and his breathing quickened. He nearly scrambled over himself as he rushed before Ye Yuan.

"H-Holy Son! Is what you said true? A Qiluo Sky Chrysanthemum? That is a divine immortal herb perfectly compatible with this subordinate's martial spirit!"

Yue Guan trembled with excitement.

He had been stuck at Rank Ninety-Five for years. If he could truly consume that immortal herb, his martial spirit would undergo a transformation, and he would certainly break through the bottleneck of Rank Ninety-Six.

"Not only is there a Qiluo Sky Chrysanthemum, that place also has Octopus Mysterious Ice Grass, Blazing Apricot Delicate, and countless other immortal-grade herbs."

Ye Yuan smiled faintly.

"Elder Chrysanthemum, immediately lead men to Sunset Forest overnight. Dig up that old poison's backyard, roots and all!"

"This subordinate accepts the order! I swear loyalty unto death to His Highness the Holy Son!"

Yue Guan said ecstatically before hurriedly rushing out.

Deep within Sunset Forest.

This was a valley shrouded in poisonous mist all year round, the air permeated by a pungent sulfurous smell.

At the deepest part of the valley lay an enormous pool, split straight down the middle. One side held crimson spring water, while the other was a milky-white cold spring that chilled one to the bone.

The two did not encroach upon each other.

"My heavens... there really is... such a treasured place!"

The instant Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan entered the valley, his eyes widened. He felt as if even two pairs of eyes would not be enough.

"Blazing Apricot Delicate! Octopus Mysterious Ice Grass! And... my treasure! The Qiluo Sky Chrysanthemum! It really is here!"

Yue Guan's face flushed red with excitement, tears streaming down his cheeks.

He wiped away his tears, rose to his feet, and produced several specially made jade boxes out of thin air. He called out to the accompanying soul masters.

"Get to work! Quickly! Seal all these immortal herbs in jade boxes and take them away. His Highness the Holy Son ordered us not to leave them even a single blade of grass!"

For a time, the only sound left in the valley was the clinking and clanging of digging.

Just as Yue Guan was digging away with great enthusiasm and had already stored more than half the immortal herbs in jade boxes, a violent disturbance suddenly rippled through the poisonous mist at the edge of the valley.

Whoosh!

A jade-green figure shot straight through the poisonous mist.

The newcomer wore a dark green robe, had disheveled hair and a pale face, and carried a Hundred Treasures Ruyi Pouch at his waist.

Poison Douluo, Dugu Bo.

Dugu Bo had originally been helping Gu Rong and Tang Hao treat their injuries at Blue Ba Academy, but their wounds were too severe for ordinary medicinal herbs to have any effect.

With no other choice, he gritted his teeth and risked being discovered by Spirit Hall as he returned to his own herb garden, intending to pick several immortal herbs to save them.

But the instant he passed through the poisonous mist and saw the scene within the valley, Dugu Bo was struck dumb as though by lightning.

The herb garden he cherished as dearly as his life had already been ravaged into a complete mess.

The soil throughout the garden had been churned up, and vast swathes of medicinal herbs had been uprooted.

And his most detested nemesis, Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan, was currently sticking his butt out as he happily stuffed a Qiluo Sky Chrysanthemum into a jade box.

"Yue Guan! What the fuck are you doing?!"

Dugu Bo roared furiously.

The shout made the entire valley hum and shake.

He trembled with rage as he bellowed.

"You actually dared to dig up my herb garden! I'll fight you to the death!"

Yue Guan jumped in fright. Somewhat displeased, he straightened up, dusted the dirt off his hands, and cast Dugu Bo a sidelong glance before sneering mockingly.

"Oh, who did I think it was? Isn't this the old poison? What, you finally decided to crawl out of that rat hole at Blue Ba Academy?"

"I'll kill you!"

Dugu Bo instantly lost his mind. Nine Soul Rings lit up around him, and in the blink of an eye, he had completed his spirit possession.

Seventh Soul Skill, Jade Phosphorus Serpent Emperor Avatar!

"Old poison, your little toxins couldn't beat me in your previous life. You think you can turn the heavens upside down in this one?"

Yue Guan snorted coldly as his Rank Ninety-Five Soul Power erupted. His Qiluo Sky Chrysanthemum martial spirit flashed with golden light before him, directly blocking the poisonous mist outside.

With red eyes, Dugu Bo opened his bloody maw and prepared to pounce.

But before he could approach Yue Guan, a pitch-black rift suddenly tore open within the shadows behind him.

"Old poison, disaster is upon you, yet you still have the mood to fight Yue Guan to the death?"

A hoarse, icy sneer sounded beside Dugu Bo's ear.

Ghost Douluo Guimei's figure instantly emerged from the shadows. His ghost claw, radiating cold air, ruthlessly struck Dugu Bo across the back.

Pff!

Dugu Bo took the blow solidly. His Avatar of Spirit let out a mournful cry and vanished, while he spat out a mouthful of blood and was sent flying backward.

At this time, he was still suffering from the poison within his body and could not even exert half his full strength.

"Guimei! You ambushed me!"

Dugu Bo leaned against a boulder, his chest heaving violently as black blood continuously flowed from his mouth.

A vicious glint flashed through his eyes, and his gaze suddenly lit up.

Medusa's Gaze!
