Immortal Herb Redemption Code, Treasure Basin: Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well!

"Wait, Senior Dugu."

Xu Yuan suddenly spoke, his gaze fixed on Dugu Bo.

Hadn't he chosen to come to Sunset Forest precisely for the foremost of the three great treasure basins, the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well?

Immortal Herbs, tempering the body with ice and fire, soul beast resources.

All to maximize the age of his Soul Rings.

Right before him was an Immortal Herb redemption code, and with Jingliu by his side, Xu Yuan had plenty of room to maneuver.

"What is it?"

Dugu Bo tilted his head in confusion and looked at Xu Yuan.

"This junior knows a little about medicinal principles. Please hear me out, Senior."

Xu Yuan continued, "Whenever the sky turns overcast and it rains, do your ribs feel numb and itchy, with the sensation gradually intensifying?

It strikes once at noon and once at midnight. Given your current condition, each episode should last for more than two full hours.

And every night, around the third watch, your scalp and the center of your chest feel as though they are being pricked by needles."

After saying that, Xu Yuan fell silent, giving Dugu Bo time to process the information.

The moment he heard this, Dugu Bo's expression changed drastically. His hands hidden within his sleeves had already begun gathering Soul Power.

But in the next instant, Jingliu raised the Tanhua Sword.

"Mere Grass Beneath the Sword."

Jingliu's crimson eyes glinted as she spoke coldly.

The frigid sword intent made Dugu Bo calm down in an instant. Well... calm down in the literal, physical sense.

"Crack, crack—!!"

A thick layer of silvery-white frost froze Dugu Bo's legs, bone-piercing cold and lethal killing intent spreading in an instant.

Jingliu's combat experience was extraordinarily rich. In the blink of an eye, she had taken control of the entire field with the sword in her hand.

Her mere presence was enough to intimidate Dugu Bo.

"Senior Dugu, even if you don't care about your own life, shouldn't you think about your granddaughter's future?"

"The Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul's poison is hereditary. Your granddaughter was tainted by poison from the moment she was in her mother's womb. As she grows older, its outbreaks will only become more severe."

"At most ten years from now, at the age when she should be blooming like a flower, she'll wither away..."

Xu Yuan hadn't read web novels for nothing in his previous life. Anyone could throw out a couple of lines like this.

Immortal Herb redemption code, kid.

"Junior, are you saying you can solve this?"

Dugu Bo's mind worked quickly. If the other party was not merely toying with him, then they had a way to resolve the poison.

Just as Xu Yuan had said, Dugu Bo did not care much about whether he lived or died, but he did not want to lose another loved one.

Because the departure of family left behind a lifetime of dampness.

His granddaughter Dugu Yan was the same age as Xu Yuan. Who would want to watch their black-haired child die before them?

"I, Xu Yuan, have two methods. The first treats the symptoms but not the root cause. The second is to evolve your Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul."

Before Xu Yuan had even finished speaking, Dugu Bo chose the second option without the slightest hesitation.

What a joke. The second option was obviously better.

"Martial Soul Evolution? Is that true?!!"

Dugu Bo could be considered "well-informed." Well, the sort of person who sat on a mountain of gold without realizing it.

At this point, Dugu Bo lowered his stance even further. "May I ask what the price is?"

Looking at Jingliu, who was protecting Xu Yuan, Dugu Bo could tell that if he clashed with her head-on...

If he fell into Jingliu's hands, he definitely would not last more than three moves!

"The price is simple. That medicinal garden of yours will belong to me from now on, and you must do six things for me."

Knowing the matter was settled, Xu Yuan stated his terms.

"No problem. It's a deal."

Upon hearing that, Dugu Bo agreed at lightning speed, without hesitating for even a second.

Because Dugu Bo had no capital to bargain with.

If he advanced, he could not defeat Jingliu. If he retreated, he still had his granddaughter. But cooperation could bring a win-win situation, perhaps even a three-way win.

Other than certain fools blinded by love, no one who could cultivate to the level of a Titled Douluo was an idiot.

"Let's go. Let's take a look at your medicinal garden."

Xu Yuan's verbal persuasion had successfully turned hostility into friendship. Just as the three were about to set out...

Xu Yuan suddenly remembered his roasted Soft Bone Rabbit meat...

He turned around and looked. Fortunately, it was still there.

A faint aroma wafted from the rabbit meat, whetting everyone's appetite.

Xu Yuan sprinkled on a handful of cumin and handed the roasted Soft Bone Rabbit meat to Jingliu.

Then, he tossed a piece of roasted rabbit meat to Dugu Bo as well.

"Little brother, your cooking is very good."

Jingliu parted her lips slightly. A fragrant, spicy flavor spread through her mouth, leaving her red lips and teeth scented.

"If big sister likes it, I'll cook for you every day from now on."

Xu Yuan smiled faintly, his expression utterly sincere.

Then he took a bite himself. Spicy rabbit head really was delicious.

Hearing that, Jingliu seemed to recall something, and an inexplicable ripple flashed through her beautiful crimson eyes.

"Alright."

Beside them, Dugu Bo sensed that something was off with the atmosphere. Why did he suddenly feel like he was being force-fed affection?

Shaking his head, Dugu Bo swiftly finished his food.

After barely filling their stomachs, Dugu Bo led the way, taking the two of them toward their destination.

A short while later.

Xu Yuan and the other two simultaneously slowed their pace. They had arrived.

Before them lay a massive inverted cone-shaped basin valley, five hundred meters deep, surrounded by dense clouds of green poisonous miasma.

This was one of the world's three great treasure basins:

Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well!!!

"Follow me, you two."

Dugu Bo waved his hand, activating the poison formation he had set up ahead and revealing a three-meter-wide path.

But in the next instant, the poisonous stench in the air froze into fine ice crystals. Clearly, Jingliu was looking after Xu Yuan.

Then Jingliu grabbed Xu Yuan by one shoulder and rose into the air, following Dugu Bo into the valley.

In the next instant, a breathtaking paradise of plants entered their view.

At the very center of the valley was a hot spring.

Within the oval pool, the spring water was divided into two distinct colors: milky white and vermilion red.

They formed the shape of yin and yang fish, clearly divided and never encroaching upon one another, always remaining on their respective sides.

Steam billowed forth, radiating majestic energy.

The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well!

One spring, two births; the two principles countered each other—a treasure basin.

This place not only nurtured heavenly treasures, but also nourished people. The two energies of extreme heat and extreme cold could even suppress poisons.

Dense clusters of colorful plants spread across the area. There were restorative medicines and poisonous herbs alike; it truly contained everything.

Medicinal herbs were divided into four grades, from low to high.

Common grade, spirit grade, precious grade, and immortal grade.

Ginseng and cordyceps, for example, were common-grade herbs.

Spirit-grade herbs referred to common spiritual materials and precious medicines such as century-old lingzhi, cinnabar lotus, and Ninth-Grade Purple Lingzhi.

As for precious-grade herbs, they were an important transitional stage toward immortal-grade herbs.

For instance, the Ninth-Grade Dragon Lingzhi, which was superior to Ninth-Grade Purple Lingzhi and was evolving toward the immortal-grade Golden Jade Snow Dragon Lingzhi.

There was no need to say much about immortal-grade herbs, because Xu Yuan had already spotted several famous Immortal Herbs from the original work.

And...

The neutral immortal-grade herb—Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum.

It was precisely Xu Yuan's target for this journey. Its balanced and gentle medicinal nature was best suited for a Tool Martial Soul that was supremely hard and supremely yang.

Once he awakened his second Martial Soul, the Worldbearing Flame, the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower would have to be arranged as well.

But before that, Xu Yuan would keep his promise and first help Dugu Bo resolve the matter of Martial Soul Evolution.

Soon, Xu Yuan began wandering around the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, searching for the Immortal Herb from his memories.

Before long, Xu Yuan found his target.

Earth Dragon Golden Melon!
