Ice and Fire Mandarin Duck Pot
"Actually, Xiao Yang proposed another possibility, but those things only exist in records and no one on the continent has truly seen those divine medicines in hundreds of years. Therefore, I cannot draw a conclusion on whether they can be used to solve the problem between you and Yanzi, Your Excellency."
Just then, Ye Qingling spoke up.
"Oh? There are actually such divine objects? I wonder what they are, can you elaborate?" Ye Qingling's words clearly made Dugu Bo pay more attention, for after all, she was an old hand who had steeped herself in the medical arts for decades, not someone of the younger generation like Lu Yang to be compared with. Her words naturally carried more persuasion. Even if this proposal was first mentioned by Lu Yang, it was different coming from Ye Qingling.
Ye Qingling opened the catalog in her hand once more and handed it to Dugu Bo. On the page she had opened, two different Immortal Herbs were depicted.
And upon seeing the illustrations of these two Immortal Herbs, Dugu Bo's pupils suddenly contracted sharply. Yet because he was lowering his head, the others did not notice.
"The Patriarch of the Ye Family means that these things can cure me and Yanzi?" Dugu Bo's voice trembled slightly.
"I dare not guarantee it, but we can perhaps try. Even if it fails, using Xiao Yang's previous method is not entirely out of the question for relief," Ye Qingling said.
"Moreover, Your Excellency, do not look down on this. The description of the divine medicine named Earth Dragon Golden Melon records that it has immense benefits for dragon- and serpent-type Martial Souls. There are also several others that possess very strong detoxifying effects. If used properly, even without ridding oneself of a lifetime of Poison Cultivation, it should still be able to cure the two of you."
Upon hearing Ye Qingling's words, Dugu Bo immediately closed the catalog in his hand.
"Patriarch Ye, I must trouble you and your company to make a trip with this old man. There is a place I wish to take you to see," Dugu Bo said.
The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was one of his greatest secrets; that place was not only his garden of medicinal herbs, but also the treasured ground that suppressed the toxins within his body.
Originally, Dugu Bo had prepared to take Dugu Yan and live in seclusion there if he could no longer find a way to resolve the Green Phosphor Serpent poison in the future. Relying on that treasured ground would at least allow Dugu Yan to live a little longer.
Yet right now, the medicinal herbs growing in that Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well-which even he did not know-actually held the possibility of healing both him and Yanzi. Thus, he could no longer care whether he exposed it or not. As long as Dugu Yan could be saved, what did it matter if he, Dugu Bo, gave up his medicinal garden?
Although Ye Qingling felt some doubts, she still stood up and set off together with Dugu Bo.
Dugu Bo originally had no intention of bringing too many people, but considering that the ideas were all proposed by Lu Yang, and that it was also Lu Yang who had noticed Dugu Yan's poisoning, he still hauled him into the carriage and conveniently brought Ye Lingling along as well.
The carriage sped all the way, driving in the direction of the Sunset Forest. The moment the carriage drove out of Heaven Dou City, the message reached Qian Renxue's ears.
"Hmm? Isn't Xiao Yang studying at the Ye Family Medical Clinic? Why did he leave the city with Dugu Bo for no reason?" Looking at the message in her hand, Qian Renxue asked with a puzzled expression.
"We aren't too clear on the specifics. The incoming message states that Ye Lingling hurriedly brought Xiao Yang back to the Ye Family, and then Dugu Yan came as well, along with Poison Douluo Dugu Bo. Afterwards, the group left Heaven Dou City together," She Long said.
"Could it be that Ye Lingling's Soul Power broke through?" Qian Renxue guessed.
Lu Yang had a great deal of contact with Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan. It was not impossible for Ye Lingling's Soul Power to break through and for the group to go out for Soul Hunting. Because Ye Qingling was also accompanying them, Qian Renxue felt this guess was quite probable.
"But that Ye Lingling's Soul Power cultivation still seems quite a distance away from a breakthrough, how could it be so fast?" She Long muttered.
"Forget it, I'll just ask Xiao Yang when he returns." Qian Renxue waved her hand and temporarily put this matter aside.
On the other side, the Sunset Forest.
"Grandfather, why did you suddenly bring us to the Sunset Forest?" Dugu Yan asked with bewilderment.
"To take you to see grandfather's medicinal garden." Dugu Bo did not say much, leading Lu Yang and the others straight into the depths of the Sunset Forest.
This time, Dugu Bo did not restrain his aura. With a Titled Douluo's momentum exuding outward, ordinary Soul Beasts simply dared not approach.
When the group arrived at the outer periphery of the poisonous barrier, Ye Qingling's expression instantly turned somewhat solemn. She could clearly sense how terrifying the poisonous barrier before her was; let alone a Soul Saint like herself, even Soul Saint and Soul Douluo powerhouses who rushed in blindly would probably only dissolve into a pool of bloody water.
With Dugu Bo clearing the path ahead, Lu Yang and the others safely entered the poisonous barrier. When they walked to the edge of the cliff and saw the lake water intertwining in bright red and blue, Lu Yang could not help crying out in shock: "The Ice and Fire Mandarin Duck Pot!"
"You brat know this place?" Dugu Bo was surprised, but upon careful rumination: "What Ice and Fire Mandarin Duck Pot?"
"Uh..." Lu Yang scratched his head.
On the way here, Lu Yang had been pondering what this Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well would look like, which was why he could not help crying out in shock when he truly saw the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
"This Mandarin Duck Pot is a dining method from the small village where I was born, which is using a bronze pot to cook food. If a partition is placed in the middle of the bronze pot, different seasonings can be put on both sides, which is why it's called a Mandarin Duck Pot."
"Look at this lake water, Your Excellency. One side is icy blue while the other is fiery red, looking precisely like the bronze pot I mentioned. I cried out in shock only because of that; in truth, I don't recognize what place this is."
Fortunately, what he spoke of was the Ice and Fire Mandarin Duck Pot, which could still serve as a cover to prevent Dugu Bo from getting suspicious.
Dugu Bo nodded slightly, seeming to believe Lu Yang's explanation: "This dining method is quite interesting. Once matters here are settled, I must try it when I return."
"Patriarch Ye, please follow me down." Dugu Bo led Ye Qingling down to the lakeside.
The moment she came down, Ye Qingling caught sight of the medicinal herbs growing along the lake shore. Her pupils shrank sharply, because these medicinal ingredients were precisely those divine medicines recorded in the catalog that she had seen not long ago!
"Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum!"
"Aromatic Silk Beauty!"
"The one over there is the Infernal Delicate Apricot!"
"And the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower!"
"Your Excellency, this medicinal garden of yours is truly a masterpiece that plunders the creation of heaven and earth! These divine medicines haven't appeared for hundreds of years, yet I never expected them to be growing in your medicinal garden." Ye Qingling sighed with emotion.
"This place was also discovered by me by chance. Those medicinal herbs have simply been growing there all along, and I couldn't recognize them either," Dugu Bo waved his hand and said.
"Patriarch Ye, the herbs here are yours to pick as you please. Might this increase some hope of healing Yanzi?" Dugu Bo asked.
According to Dugu Bo's temperament, he would absolutely never let anyone experiment on Dugu Yan's body to find a method to detoxify her. He was very well aware that his own Poison Cultivation had been with him for decades, and wanting to detoxify himself would be far more difficult than detoxifying Dugu Yan.
Yet the detoxification used these things in the medicinal garden called divine medicines, and he could find no second specimen, leaving him with no way to test them on his own body.
