Refining Immortal Herbs, Explosive Growth in Strength!

"I'm willing!"

Dugu Bo came back to his senses and immediately felt that it was truly appealing. He hurriedly shouted.

If he could live, live well, and let his granddaughter live well alongside him, why would he choose death?

Hearing this, Bai Ye smiled, as did the Chrysanthemum-Ghost Douluo.

However, the latter did not lower their guard because of it. They did not fully trust Dugu Bo's words.

Thus, Yue Guan spoke up to remind Bai Ye.

Bai Ye shook his head. "If you doubt someone, don't use them. If you use someone, don't doubt them."

What a joke. He had played Dungeon Fighter Online; how could he possibly be fooled by someone?

Of course, back when he had been a newbie, he had fallen victim to scammers too. They had claimed they would take him on as a disciple and carry him through dungeons, promised him a Sky Set, and had even sent him a screenshot of Heart of Joy III.

Simple-minded as he had been, he believed them outright. He also thought he had nothing worth scamming, so he directly gave them his account and password, letting that so-called master top up his account and buy him a Sky Set.

The result was obvious.

Those damned scammers! He had only had one million resources on that account, yet they had looted every last bit!

After that, he was never scammed again. He also often browsed forums to learn about all sorts of scams.

At this moment, he could tell at a glance that Dugu Bo was sincere, rather than merely pretending to submit to save his life.

Anyone capable of becoming a Titled Douluo certainly did not lack intelligence.

He had already displayed his astonishing support talent. There was no way the other man would not be tempted.

"Good. From now on, call me Young Master Ye." Bai Ye signaled Yue Guan to move aside, then personally helped Dugu Bo up from the ground.

Yue Guan narrowed his eyes, fully on guard.

Gui Mei also looked ready to strike at any moment.

The instant Dugu Bo showed any suspicious sign, he would be destroyed with thunderous force.

Dugu Bo naturally understood the situation. But since he had already decided to submit, he naturally had no intention of taking everyone down with him.

"Young Master Ye." After standing, Dugu Bo gave Bai Ye a slight bow.

"Mm. Then I'll call you Uncle Poison from now on." Bai Ye nodded slightly.

Dugu Bo had no objections. It was only a form of address.

"Alright, we're all on the same side now. Uncle Yue, Uncle Gui, there's no need to be so guarded." Bai Ye smiled.

The Chrysanthemum-Ghost Douluo said something to Dugu Bo. Though they appeared relaxed, they remained vigilant at all times.

Dugu Bo understood what his two old rivals were thinking, but he said nothing. He would prove himself through his actions.

Before that, however, Bai Ye needed to detoxify him and his granddaughter.

"I can use my third soul skill once now to detoxify you and your granddaughter."

"But there's no rush yet."

Dugu Bo froze upon hearing that, thinking Bai Ye was going back on his word.

Yue Guan and Gui Mei were also stunned. Could the future of Spirit Hall really be planning to toy with Old Poison?

Just then, Bai Ye smiled. "Don't worry. It won't delay us for long. I'm out training, and since we've already come here, there's no reason not to take a look around further inside."

Dugu Bo let out a breath of relief. He personally led the way and introduced the place to Bai Ye.

Compared to himself and his granddaughter, the residence behind them was not worth mentioning.

Before long, they arrived before a hot spring.

The spring was not large, but it was divided into two halves. One was milky white, the other crimson red. They were distinctly separated, never infringing upon one another.

This was the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well!

The original work clearly stated that the reason Dugu Bo could survive poisoning and cultivate all the way to the Titled Douluo realm was closely related to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

"The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well!" Bai Ye was excited. Seeing such a sight with his own eyes was immensely shocking. This had originally been Tang San's opportunity, but now it was going to be his.

"The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well?" The three Titled Douluo looked at Bai Ye in confusion, but he did not explain.

"Young Master Ye, you must not touch the spring here. The scorching heat and extreme cold within it are more than even a Titled Douluo can endure for long," Dugu Bo said.

"Mm, I know." Bai Ye nodded, very satisfied with Dugu Bo's behavior. To him, this was an act of loyalty.

To be honest, this had also been a test for Dugu Bo. If he had not said that, Bai Ye would have signaled the Chrysanthemum-Ghost Douluo to kill him immediately.

If the man had thoughts of murdering his master, he certainly had to be beaten to death.

Only now did Bai Ye truly feel at ease about Dugu Bo.

Next, he refreshed his third soul skill on himself, added his first soul skill, Honor Blessing, and then followed the original work's description to pick the Infernal Delicate Apricot and the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass.

Both immortal herbs were highly poisonous, but they could do nothing to Bai Ye.

It was worth mentioning that when he picked the Infernal Delicate Apricot, Bai Ye's hand did not split open and bleed as Tang San's had. Clearly, after being enhanced, his body was far stronger than Tang San's had been at that time.

"Xiao Ye, these are..." Yue Guan grew emotional, clearly recognizing them as immortal herbs.

Gui Mei and Dugu Bo, neither of whom understood medicinal herbs, looked over curiously. The fact that they could provoke such an intense emotional reaction from a Titled Douluo was enough to show their value.

"These are two immortal herbs..." Bai Ye explained, while Yue Guan added further details from the side.

Then Bai Ye swallowed both immortal herbs.

They melted in his mouth and tasted incredible!

As the medicinal effects began to take hold, he leaped into the point where the two springs met.

Dugu Bo and Ghost Douluo's expressions changed drastically, and they were about to move to save him, while Chrysanthemum Douluo remained perfectly calm.

"There's no need to worry."

Just then, Bai Ye's voice rang out. Yue Guan also spoke with a smile, and Dugu Bo and Gui Mei finally relaxed.

At that moment, Bai Ye had already begun cultivating the Ice-Fire Alchemical Body.

A Crusader would never complain about having too much stamina, and Bai Ye would never complain about having a stronger body.

As his body grew stronger, the enhancement effect of his first soul skill would also increase.

As time passed, however, there was no movement at all from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. The previously calm Chrysanthemum Douluo's expression changed, and Dugu Bo and Gui Mei grew somewhat anxious when they noticed.

"Young Master Ye... he won't have met with an accident, will he?" Dugu Bo looked toward where Bai Ye had fallen into the water, worry filling his voice.

Compared with the Chrysanthemum-Ghost Douluo, he was even less willing to see Bai Ye suffer an accident.

Yue Guan said nothing, merely staring at the water's surface.

The next moment, the three Titled Douluo beamed with joy.

Bai Ye suddenly emerged from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. Yet his posture was strange: his eyes were closed, and he sat cross-legged atop the water.

In the original work, Tang San had fallen unconscious during the absorption. But Bai Ye's vitality and spirit were balanced, so that naturally would not happen to him. Moreover, his absorption speed was much faster than Tang San's.

Three hours later, Bai Ye opened his eyes and, under the astonished gazes of the three Titled Douluo, walked across the water to the shore.

His gains were enormous. Without even using Purification, he was now immune to water and fire, and all poisons avoided him.

Furthermore, both his body and spiritual power had improved again. At this point, his first soul skill could increase all attributes by 160 percent!

"Uncle Yue, Uncle Gui." He first nodded at the Chrysanthemum-Ghost Douluo, then looked toward Dugu Bo. "Uncle Poison, once we've taken the herbs here, I can detoxify you."

After saying that, Bai Ye took out the storage tools he had prepared in advance from his storage Soul Tool and handed them to the three Titled Douluo, asking them to help.

Dugu Bo felt somewhat distressed and temporarily overlooked the latter half of Bai Ye's words.

But when he remembered that even he himself now belonged to Bai Ye, he did not feel quite so distressed anymore.

Before long, Bai Ye looked at the thoroughly ravaged herb garden and revealed a satisfied smile.

"Little San, your immortal herbs are gone! No, wait, ptooey, ptooey! These are ownerless treasures born of heaven and earth. Whoever gets them first owns them." Bai Ye smiled in satisfaction, then looked toward Dugu Bo and activated his third soul skill.

Purification!
