Signing In at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well! Obtained Dragon God's Blood!

Cao Kun raised a hand, his gaze calm. "Rise."

"Thank you, my lord."

Dugu Bo straightened, still careful not to relax his respectful posture. He stepped aside to lead the way. "My lord, everything inside the hidden realm is ready. I've been waiting for you. Please follow me."

The opening in the Formation widened again, allowing them all through.

Cao Kun nodded and walked into the Formation with Zhu Zhuqing, Dugu Yan, and Xiao Wu.

The Iron-Eating Beast followed close behind, its massive body passing steadily through the opening into the hidden realm.

The moment they entered, the atmosphere changed completely.

The raging winds and chaotic spiritual energy outside vanished, replaced by an extraordinary mingling of cold and heat.

On the left, bone-piercing cold surrounded them, borne on an extreme-yin current that had endured for ten thousand years.

On the right, waves of heat surged from extreme-yang flames hot enough to melt metal.

Cold and heat sustained one another, blending into the purest spiritual energy of heaven and earth and nourishing the entire realm without end.

Spirit herbs grew everywhere along their path, gleaming with light. Their rich medicinal fragrance washed over the group, refreshing them; a single breath eased their meridians and stirred their Soul Power. It was a paradise for cultivation.

Walking beside Cao Kun, Dugu Bo could barely contain his delight and impatience. He reported on the realm's condition in a low voice, his tone respectful and proud.

"My lord, thanks to the Formation and Spirit Liquid you provided, the Immortal Herbs in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well have grown far better than in previous years."

"All the rare Immortal Herbs that had yet to mature have now completed their growth. There are fifty-three mature Immortal Herbs in the realm, not one damaged or withered.
