The more Dugu Bo thought about it, the more shaken he felt.

Dugu Yan stood beside him.

She looked up at the Heaven Rankings, anticipation on her lovely face.

"Grandpa, there are so many powerful people on the continent."

"The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King only ranked eighth. Have the people above him already become gods?"

Dugu Bo looked away.

"I don't know."

"But if the Golden Rankings can rank someone at the demigod level, perhaps gods really do exist."

As he spoke, he glanced down at his palm.

Dugu Bo's Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor Martial Soul had given him more than great strength. It had also given him a deadly poison he had never been able to cure.

Toxins had long since eaten away at his body.

Dugu Yan had inherited the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul too.

If she kept cultivating, she would follow the same path he had.

Dugu Bo looked at his granddaughter.

"If gods really exist in this world, there may still be hope of curing our poison."

Dugu Yan's eyes lit up.

"Really?"

"If we can find a god, can the poison in both of us be cured?"

"It's only a guess."

Dugu Bo shook his head.

"But the Golden Rankings have already displayed power far beyond what Soul Masters can comprehend."

"Let's keep watching. We might actually find a way."

Dugu Yan nodded.

She looked up at the sky again.

There was a new glimmer of hope in her eyes.

Just then, a terrifying aura descended from afar.

The clouds overhead scattered instantly.

The trees around the courtyard shook violently, and an invisible force swept dust from the ground.

Dugu Bo's expression changed sharply.

"This aura..."

He immediately summoned his Soul Power.

The phantom of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor appeared behind him, and nine Soul Rings rose in succession.

Dugu Yan released her Martial Soul as well.

But the moment their Soul Power spread outward, that aura forced it back.

Dugu Bo's face grew grave.

Anyone who could suppress him with sheer presence had to be at least a Super Douluo.

The next moment, two figures appeared in midair.

A man stood in front.

He wore a black robe. His handsome face was framed by long hair that fell over his shoulders.

His eyes remained calm.

Even before the Titled Douluo below, not the slightest ripple disturbed his expression.

Ye Xishui stood beside him.

She wore a long red dress, and her purplish-red hair fluttered in the wind.

Her tall figure hovered in the air, radiating an immense pressure of Soul Power.

Nine Soul Rings revolved slowly behind her.

Six black, three red.

She made no attempt to conceal the aura of a Limit Douluo.

When Dugu Bo saw her Soul Rings, he was shaken even more deeply.

"A Limit Douluo?"

Ye Xishui did not answer.

She looked down at Dugu Bo.

"Hand over the Immortal Herbs in your Herb Garden."

Dugu Bo knitted his brows.

"Who are you?"

He had always kept the Herb Garden hidden deep within the Sunset Forest.

Apart from Dugu Yan, scarcely anyone knew it was there.

Yet these two had mentioned it outright.

Dugu Bo looked at Ye Xishui.

"How do you know I have a Herb Garden?"

Ye Xishui offered no explanation.

"All you need to do is answer: will you hand them over or not?"

Dugu Bo did not answer at once.

He glanced at Dugu Yan beside him, then at the two figures overhead.

Ye Xishui was already a Limit Douluo.

As for the man, Dugu Bo could not see through him at all.

He stood there with his aura completely concealed.

And that was precisely what made Dugu Bo feel the pressure.

He was certain of one thing.

This man was even stronger than Ye Xishui.

Dugu Bo cupped his hands.

"May I ask how to address you, sir?"

"Long Yuan."

"Sir Long."

Dugu Bo grew even more respectful.

"I can hand the Herb Garden over to you both, but might you help me with something?"

"My granddaughter and I have suffered from Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison for many years."

"If you can cure us, Sir Long, I'll gladly give you everything in the Herb Garden."

Dugu Yan looked at Long Yuan.

This was the first time she had seen him.

Yet she could not take her eyes off his figure in the sky.

His handsome face, calm expression, and unreadable air all stirred her curiosity.

But at her grandfather's words, Dugu Yan quickly gathered her thoughts.

She, too, wanted to know whether Long Yuan could cure the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison.

Long Yuan glanced at them.

"I know there are quite a few unusual medicinal plants in your Herb Garden."

"Among them are some that would suit you both."

Dugu Bo hesitated for a moment before asking:

"Sir Long, what level have you reached? Are you a god?"

Ye Xishui suddenly laughed.

She looked at Dugu Bo.

"You think Brother Long is a god?"

Dugu Bo's expression shifted.

Ye Xishui went on:

"A god wouldn't last a single move against Brother Long."

Dugu Bo jolted.

Dugu Yan's eyes widened too.

Gods were already beyond anything they could imagine.

Yet Ye Xishui had said that even a god could not last a single move against Long Yuan.

Just how powerful was this man?

Long Yuan paid no heed to their shock.

He raised a hand.

A strand of seven-colored light spread from his palm.

The seven colors intertwined, becoming a gentle radiance that settled over Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan.

Warmth flowed through Dugu Bo's body.

The toxins lodged in his meridians and bones seemed to have met their natural enemy and rapidly dissolved.

Dugu Yan closed her eyes as well.

The toxins that had accumulated in her body over the years gradually receded.

Her body, once so heavy, slowly grew lighter.

A moment later, Long Yuan lowered his hand.

Dugu Yan opened her eyes and pressed a hand to her chest.

"Grandpa, my body feels lighter."

"The poison inside me really seems to be gone."

Dugu Bo did not answer.

He immediately circulated his Soul Power.

The Soul Power of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor flowed through his meridians, no longer hindered by toxins.

The Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison that had plagued him for years had vanished completely in just a few breaths.

Dugu Bo's face was filled with astonishment.

"My poison is gone too."

He looked at Long Yuan.

"Sir Long, this..."

Long Yuan remained calm.

"My Martial Soul is the Rainbow Dragon."

"The Rainbow Dragon possesses seven special abilities. One of them removes all harmful effects."

Dugu Bo drew a deep breath.

At last, he understood how Long Yuan had cured the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison so easily.

This was power no medical art could explain.

"Thank you for saving our lives, Sir Long."

Dugu Bo bowed.

Dugu Yan bowed with him.

"Thank you, Sir Long."

Long Yuan turned toward the distance.

"Take us to the Sunset Forest."

Dugu Bo nodded at once.

"Of course."

"Please follow me, Sir Long."

The Sunset Forest.

The four of them passed through the dense forest.

Dugu Bo led the other three to a secluded valley.

Poisonous mist filled the valley.

Any ordinary Soul Master who drew near would be eaten away by its toxins.

Dugu Bo raised a hand and dispersed the mist ahead.

A hidden entrance appeared between the cliffs.

The four entered.

The view ahead gradually changed.

Spring waters of two different colors met.

One side blazed hot as fire.

On the other side, a biting chill filled the air.

At the center of the spring, yin and yang energies collided.

This was the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

Around the spring grew a profusion of strange plants.

Each medicinal herb gave off a distinct aura.

Red flowers burned like flames.

White lotuses radiated a deep chill.

There were many other medicinal herbs whose names even Dugu Bo did not know.
