Braving the Ice and Fire Springs with His Bare Body, Chewing Immortal Herbs Raw on the Spot!
With each step he took, the Scarlet-Gold Dragon Fire emanating from the soles of his boots would spread rapidly across the ground.
The rotten mountain path, which was originally flowing with foul-smelling black water, was instantly evaporated by this extremely powerful Zhiyang dragon fire!
Su Chen was like a blazing sun walking through a dark green sea of poison.
Wherever he went, the swirling, dark green poisonous miasma would retreat, dissolve, and dissipate as if encountering a natural enemy!
In just a dozen breaths, the Jade Phosphorous Ten Thousand Poisons Grand Formation, which Dugu Bo boasted was so powerful that even Titled Douluo would have to shed a layer of skin if he accidentally entered it, was actually broken open by Su Chen's physical body and the Pure Yang Dragon Fire, creating a fire path two zhang wide that led straight to the top of the mountain!
On the Blue Stone platform at the foot of the mountain, Dugu Bo, who was originally ready to save people at any time, was now completely dumbfounded.
His mouth gaped open, his snake eyes wide with shock, as he watched helplessly as the innate Poison Array he had painstakingly set up over twenty years proved as fragile as a paper toy in the face of the crimson-gold Lie Yan surrounding Su Chen!
"Pure Yang can overcome all poisons... It can even burn away my Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor Poison at its full power?!"
Dugu Bo felt his throat go dry, and a shiver of shock mixed with ecstasy ran down his back.
He had cultivated poison skills his whole life, and what he feared most was this kind of extremely Zhiyang power that could suppress yin poison in one's life. But now, this power was in the hands of Su Chen, who had promised to cure him of the poison. That meant that the stubborn poison deep in his bone marrow was no match for this domineering and unparalleled Pure Yang Dragon Fire!
"Truly a divine being! I've truly stumbled upon a living god this time!!"
The last trace of doubt and probing in Dugu Bo's heart was shattered. He dared not be careless in the slightest. He hurriedly put away the array hand seals, and his figure transformed into a green shadow. He hurriedly followed the Vacuum Passage opened by Su Chen and chased after him, afraid of falling behind even half a step and neglecting his savior.
The mountain is 500 meters high, but for the two of them, it's just a short distance.
When Su Chen shattered the last layer of dark green barrier on the mountainside and reached the edge of the summit, the view ahead suddenly opened up.
This is an inverted cone-shaped valley nestled inside the top of a hill.
As soon as I stood on the cliff at the edge of the mountain pass, a strange aura, so strong it was almost tangible, rushed towards me.
At the center of the valley floor lies a huge, oval-shaped hot spring. Although the spring is not very large, it is divided into two distinct halves.
On the left, a pool of spring water appears as a warm, rich milky white, emanating Sisi of bone-chilling cold air. On the right, a pool of spring water appears as an eerie, glaring vermilion, with rolling waves of heat churning and distorting the air above.
What is most amazing is that the extremely cold, milky-white Yin Spring and the extremely hot Yang Spring are in the same pool, without any mountains or rocks in between. The spring waters flow and collide with each other, yet they remain distinct and do not interfere with each other, always maintaining a mysterious balance.
The rising white and red mists intertwined and swirled in the air above the mountain valley, transforming into an intense and pervasive spiritual energy that then flowed down the inverted cone-shaped mountain wall, nourishing the land surrounding the hot spring.
Around the two-colored hot spring, countless rare and exotic flowers and plants, some of which are rare to the outside world and have long been extinct on the mainland, grow densely!
Some resembled crimson sunflowers, their entire bodies radiating pure yang firelight; others were as translucent as white jade daffodils, their veins swirling with a misty aura; still others resembled the ninth-grade purple-gold lingzhi mushroom, exhaling rich life essence. The intoxicating fragrance of these divine herbs mingled together, and just one breath taken from the edge of the cliff was enough to make one feel every pore of their body open, and their inner Soul Power leap and throb with joy!
One of the Three Great Treasure Basins of heaven and earth, the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well!
Su Chen stood on the Blue Stone at the highest point of the mountain valley, looking down at the radiant land of immortal Immortal Herb below, the pale golden light of his Delusion-Breaking Divine Pupils shining brightly in his eyes.
Under the dual illumination of the Divine-Grade Pharmacology Compendium and the Delusion-Breaking Divine Pupils, the name, medicinal properties, age, and optimal method of consumption of each Immortal Herb instantly appeared in his mind:
On the left edge of the Extreme Cold Yin Spring, there grows a plant that is entirely green with eight-pointed white ice crystal flowers at its top—the extremely cold and poisonous immortal herb, the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass!
On the right bank of the scorching Yang Spring, there grows a plant that resembles a cabbage and is fiery red like agate—the extremely hot and poisonous elixir of immortality— the Infernal Delicate Apricot!
Looking further out, you can see the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, the Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid, the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower, the narcissus jade Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone, the Nine-Grade Purple Ganoderma, the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew, the Aromatic Silk Beauty... and even the divine Flower King "Lovesick Heartbreak Red" on the Wujue Stone halfway up the mountain, quietly exuding golden-red glow. Not a single one is missing, all growing neatly and orderly within this inverted cone-shaped mountain valley!
It's done! An indescribable sense of joy and excitement welled up in Su Chen's heart.
In the original novel, Tang San accidentally stumbled upon this treasure land. Not only did he use the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the Infernal Delicate Apricot to cultivate a body impervious to water and fire, but he also uprooted the entire pool of heaven-and-mortal treasures and used them to cleanse the marrow of the Shrek Seven Devils, thus forcibly transforming them into the so-called "Shrek Seven Devils," laying the foundation for their future counterattack against the Spirit Hall and their ascension to godhood.
And now, Tang San's two-armed, stray dog is still gnawing on human flesh in the quagmire of the Slaughter City. From this moment on, the supreme opportunity of the entire Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well belongs entirely to Su!
"Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, Rongrong, Lingling, Yanzi... With this garden of Immortal Herb, I can help them all complete their Second Metamorphosis when we get back! As for the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the Infernal Delicate Apricot, they'll be perfect for refining my Chaos Ancestral Dragon Ice-Fire Golden Body, allowing me to break through the level 40 barrier in one fell swoop!"
With his plan completely settled, Su Chen's Ancestral Dragon Blood Essence within him surged with excitement due to the allure of the garden's divine treasures.
At this moment, Dugu Bo, who had followed closely behind and climbed up the cliff, took a breath and looked down following Su Chen's gaze.
Seeing Su Chen staring intently at the herbs surrounding the hot spring, Dugu Bo quickly stepped forward, smiling obsequiously, and said respectfully, "Young friend Su Chen, this is the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well I discovered. This spring water is very strange, alternating between cold and hot. Ordinary creatures that approach it will explode and die within half an hour, but these surrounding plants grow extremely fast. Young friend, please take a look, which herbs are needed to refine the sacred medicine to cleanse my blood and marrow?"
Su Chen withdrew his gaze from looking down, ignoring Dugu Bo's question. Instead, he leaped down like a lithe dragon from the cliff face dozens of meters high, landing steadily on the White Jade Shore Stone at the junction of the Extreme Cold Yin Spring and the scorching Yang Spring!
Boom! The moment his feet touched the ground, the bone-chilling yin energy on his left and the scorching yang energy on his right simultaneously transformed into two violent waves of energy, frantically pressing towards Su Chen's body.
If it were anyone else, even Soul Saint expert standing right in the center of the spring, their Meridians would shatter instantly under the extreme torment of the ice and fire.
However, Su Chen's "Ancestral Dragon Indestructible Body" operated naturally within his body, treating the extremely cold and hot pressure of the spring water as nothing.
His gaze was like lightning, and he extended both hands simultaneously. A layer of domineering, peerless crimson-gold dragon scales, capable of destroying all laws in the world, instantly covered his ten fingers. This was the Divine-Grade Combat Technique rewarded by the system, "Dragon Emperor Annihilation Claw"!
"Young friend Su Chen, be careful! Don't touch those two plants!!"
Dugu Bo, who had just jumped down from the cliff, saw what Su Chen was reaching for and his expression changed drastically. He cried out in horror, "Those white flowers and red herbs are extremely poisonous! Even I would die from rotting flesh and excruciating heat and chills if I touched even a tiny bit of their sap! Don't touch them with your bare hands..."
Dugu Bo's warning was still echoing in the mountain valley when Su Chen's hands, shrouded in crimson- Dragon Astral Force, swiftly probed into the edge of the ice and fire spring.
With a sharp swoosh, the left hand precisely gripped the root of the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, while the right hand firmly pinched the lifeblood of the Infernal Delicate Apricot. Both arms exerted force simultaneously and pulled upwards!
Two highly poisonous medicinal plants, which would have turned to ashes instantly if they were to leave the spring within ten meters, were uprooted by Su Chen's Golden Dragon Claw before even a trace of their medicinal power could leak out. They were then held in his palms, one on each side.
Extremely cold frost spread wildly up Su Chen's left forearm, while extremely hot crimson flames rose fiercely up his right forearm.
Under Dugu Bo's horrified gaze, which nearly popped out of its sockets, Su Chen stood on the bank of the churning Ice and Fire Springs without even frowning. He opened his mouth and stuffed the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass in his left hand and the Infernal Delicate Apricot in his right hand into his mouth at the same time. He chewed it a couple of times and then swallowed it whole!
