Afraid of danger? Teacher, that excuse is a little shallow

Yu Xiaogang paused for a moment, turned his head to look at Ye Lin's still somewhat childish face, and the corners of his mouth curved slightly.

"This process could be fraught with danger."

"The slightest mistake could result in utter destruction."

"The teacher is worried about the danger, so she asked you to come."

Ye Lin listened intently to those words.

He looked at Yu Xiaogang's thin face, at the way he stood straight in the moonlight but turned slightly to the side, and the corners of his mouth suddenly curved up.

The moonlight made the boy's face appear even brighter.

He chuckled.

"Danger?" Ye Lin's voice was clear and bright.

"What is this danger anyway?"

"Could it be more dangerous than my teacher obtaining Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone for me?"

"Could it be more dangerous than following the Peerless Dragon and Snake and snake alone to find the Eight Spider Lances for me?"

"The teacher wanted this incredible opportunity to fall into my lap, so he used the excuse that the teacher was afraid of danger."

He let out a sigh of relief. "Teacher, your excuse is really superficial."

Yu Xiaogang's lips twitched, and he slapped Ye Lin on the back of the head.

"Alright, stop joking, let's pick the herbs."

Ye Lin agreed and didn't say anything more.

He walked quickly to the two herbs in the center of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and squatted down.

Yu Xiaogang stood a few steps behind him.

"Use metal to cut the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, then use jade to dig out the Infernal Delicate Apricot, and combine the two together."

Ye Lin pulled out a short Dagger from the Twenty-Four Bridges Bright Moon Night; the blade gleamed with a cold light.

He pressed down on the root of the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass with his left hand, and with his right hand holding the knife, he made a cut.

The moment the blade touched the grass stem, a layer of pale blue ice crystals seeped out from the cut, climbed up the blade, and froze half of the blade in the blink of an eye.

He picked up the blue-glowing herb from its roots and held it in his left hand.

He then switched to another piece of jade, holding it in his right hand, and cut into the base of the Infernal Delicate Apricot.

The moment the jade piece touched the grass stem, a layer of light red heat shot out from the cut, slightly charring the edges of the jade piece.

He grasped the reddish herb with his right hand.

He was holding two herbs in both hands at the same time.

One cold, one hot—two extreme forces surged in simultaneously from the palms of both hands, drilling deep into the meridians.

Ye Lin's body froze for a moment, as if his left side had been buried in an ice cellar, a thin layer of frost covering his fingertips and shoulder.

His right side felt like it was on fire; a fine layer of red rashes appeared on his skin, burning his lips.

He gritted his teeth and clasped his hands together.

He held the two herbs in his palm.

Blue ice crystals and red heat collided between the two palms, producing a soft hissing sound.

The ice crystals began to melt, the heat began to gather, and the two forces intertwined in his palm, swirling once before stabilizing.

Yu Xiaogang stared intently at the gradually stabilizing light in Ye Lin's palm.

His fists clenched tightly inside his sleeves.

He counted silently in his mind.

one.

two.

three.

"Now!"

"Swallow it quickly! At the same time, take off all your clothes, jump into the spring, and perform the cultivation technique to absorb and refine it!"

Ye Lin did not hesitate.

He put the clump of herbs that had stabilized in his palm into his mouth, chewed it twice, and swallowed it.

He quickly ripped off his clothes with both hands, throwing his outer garment, inner shirt, and trousers one by one onto the rocks by the spring.

Thump!

Ye Lin fell completely into the spring water, without even a bubble rising to the surface.

Yu Xiaogang took a step forward, then abruptly stopped.

The incredible opportunity is real, but so is the danger.

The spring water possesses both extreme heat and extreme cold; without the help of those two herbs, Ye Lin would have been half Ice Seal and half burned to ashes.

The Ye Lin beneath the water is in pain.

The pain seeps in from the surface of the skin, travels deep along the blood vessels and meridians, and wherever it goes, it burns or freezes.

He gritted his teeth, suppressing the pain into his dantian, and guided it along the path of the Mysterious Heaven Skill, circle by circle.

He didn't know how long he had been soaking in the water, nor could he tell whether he was conscious or delirious from the fever.

He felt something burning deep inside his right arm.

Starting from the location of the Right Arm Soul Bone, it first reached the Dark Gold Dreadclaw on the right hand, then climbed up the bone's texture to the shoulder, and then down the spine.

He felt the eight points on both sides of his spine getting hot as well, and the base of his eight spider legs felt as if something was seeping into them from the inside out.

Then it was the right leg, the area of Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone. The warmth spread from the knee up to the thigh, and then down to the waist.

It's absorbing something.

It was absorbed from the Right Arm Soul Bone and then transferred to the other Spirit Bone.

He didn't know if it was real or if he was delirious from the fever, but he could feel his body changing.

Yu Xiaogang stood by the spring, his gaze fixed on the water's surface.

The water surface was still, without any ripples or bubbles, nothing at all. It was as if something had been swallowed up, leaving not even an echo.

He stood by the spring for a quarter of an hour, then looked away and stopped watching.

He believed Ye Lin was alright.

Since he was alright, he had to get down to business: helping Dugu Bo prepare the remaining Antidote.

These are very simple, and the medicine is not difficult to prepare. Essentially, they are things that strengthen muscles and bones and clear the meridians. They cannot directly affect the toxins that have accumulated in Dugu Bo's body for seventy years. They can only play an auxiliary role. The main effect is the medicinal properties of the two Immortal Herb.

After preparing the medicine, he squatted down and reached out to grasp the root of the first Dragon Soul Grass.

He pulled the two-colored grass out of the soil, with a piece of damp black soil still attached to its roots.

He shook off the soil, neatly arranged the grass, and placed it on the nearby rock. Then he reached out and pulled up the second, the third, and the fourth stalks.

His movements were neither fast nor slow; he pulled up the plants one by one and stacked them one by one.

The blue and red grasses piled higher and higher beside him, forming a small stack.

The moonlight fell on the pile of grass, the blue half gleaming with a cold, icy light, and the red half gleaming with a warm, steaming light. The two colors intertwined, like a pile of gems soaked in moonlight.

He pulled for a long time, and the pile of grass on the rock grew from a small pile to a large pile, and then from a large pile to a row.

He straightened up, stretched his aching shoulders, glanced down at the patch of grass at his feet that had been half uprooted, and then looked at the figure in the spring water who was still breathing steadily.

He said nothing, squatted down, and continued pulling.

These disciples will all be useful in the future.

Since he can Dragon Transformation, he must possess the True Dragon Bloodline.

The more the better, the more the better.
