Icefire Yin-Yang Well, Robbing Immortal Grade Medicinal Herbs

Bing Jiu thoroughly infuriated Xue Qinghe, leaving her feeling indescribably satisfied.

But there was still work to be done. After handling the palace affairs with Xue Qinghe, Bing Jiu took Tuoba Xi and Ling Yuan Douluo to Sunset Forest.

With a Titled Douluo escorting them, Bing Jiu's journey was naturally smooth and uneventful.

Upon reaching the outskirts of the poisonous miasma, Bing Jiu called into it several times. Yet Dugu Bo stubbornly refused to make even a peep; there was no response for ages.

Bing Jiu did not know whether to laugh or cry.

This guy—when all was said and done, wouldn't everything here belong to her sooner or later?

Deliberately stalling now only made him seem petty.

"Withdraw. We're returning to the imperial palace."

Bing Jiu was naturally not going to indulge him. She turned and left.

Seeing that Bing Jiu was serious, Dugu Bo immediately panicked and hurried over to open the poisonous miasma. "Miss Saintess, this old man had something to attend to just now and was delayed for a while. You won't mind, will you?"

"Of course not."

Bing Jiu turned back and looked at him teasingly.

Before Dugu Bo could figure out what Bing Jiu meant, he saw her legs suddenly go weak as she turned and fell toward Ling Yuan Douluo.

"Oh dear."

Bing Jiu clutched her ankle and put on a pained expression as she spoke pitifully.

"My foot is hurt. If someone could carry me inside, I would certainly forgive a certain someone for what he did. Senior Dugu, don't you agree?"

Dugu Bo: ...

"I'm truly afraid of you, little girl. Come on, get up here. This old man will carry you in personally."

"Hehe, then I'll trouble you, Senior Dugu."

Bing Jiu pounced onto Dugu Bo's back in one leap. Dugu Bo's expression was somewhat sour, but he obediently secured her anyway, lest she fall off his back.

Then he turned to Tuoba Xi and Ling Yuan Douluo. "Let's go. You two stay close behind me. Otherwise, if you get lost in this old man's territory, I won't care."

"Just lead the way."

"Hmph!"

Dugu Bo snorted coldly, opened the poisonous miasma, and darted inside at high speed.

Tuoba Xi and Ling Yuan Douluo followed closely behind.

Even at the speed of Titled Douluos, they flew for around five minutes.

During that time, Bing Jiu kept observing the various herbs below, constantly searching through her memories.

"Eight Petal Immortal Orchid, Infernal Delicate Apricot, Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, Aromatic Silk Beauty..."

"Oh?"

Dugu Bo was visibly surprised by Bing Jiu's murmuring.

After all, there were so many complex medicinal herbs, and they were so far apart, yet Bing Jiu was able to recognize every single one.

"Don't be so surprised."

Bing Jiu pointed at Dugu Yan, who was waiting below. "You'll be in trouble soon enough."

At that moment, Dugu Yan was glaring in their direction with fury written all over her face.

Dugu Bo inwardly cried out in alarm and hurriedly accelerated downward. Upon reaching the ground, he set Bing Jiu down.

Dugu Yan rushed over as well, hands on her hips and anger soaring. "Grandpa, why were you carrying that girl?"

"I..."

Dugu Bo waved his hands in panic. In the end, with no other choice, he explained what had happened.

After hearing Dugu Bo's explanation, Dugu Yan immediately flew into a rage and charged at Bing Jiu.

"You! How dare you bully my grandpa like this! Do you think Dugu Yan doesn't exist?"

As she spoke, she raised her hand and swiped it at Bing Jiu's face.

Bing Jiu shifted slightly aside, grabbed Dugu Yan's wrist, and viciously twisted it downward.

"Ah!"

Tears sprang into Dugu Yan's eyes from the pain. "Let go of me!"

"Dugu Yan, let me tell you something. Your grandfather invited me here to treat your illness."

Bing Jiu tapped Dugu Yan's forehead and chuckled. "I originally planned to use a gentler method, but if you keep causing trouble, I'll have to use more violent methods to torment you!"

"You... I'm not afraid of you..."

Though she claimed not to be afraid, Dugu Yan still shrank back, forcing herself to look calm.

"Enough, Yanyan."

Dugu Bo patted her shoulder and sighed. "Saintess, please do not mind her. This is the most precious part of the entire herb garden. You... take whatever you want."

"Then many thanks, Senior Dugu."

Bing Jiu gave Dugu Yan the middle finger and walked into the herb garden.

Dugu Yan was so angry she nearly exploded. Dugu Bo could only forcibly cover her mouth to stop her from causing trouble.

Soon, Bing Jiu and the other two arrived at the center of the herb garden.

Countless strange medicinal herbs around them emitted extremely pure auras. Nearly every one of them was over a thousand years old. Without exaggeration, this was the greatest treasure land on Douluo Continent!

"Wow! There are so many herbs! I want one too, Saintess..."

Ling Yuan Douluo coquettishly shook Bing Jiu's hand, her eyes glistening with tears. "Pick the most suitable thousand-year herb for me to absorb, please... I'm begging you..."

It had to be said that she had calculated this perfectly.

Once this batch of herbs was taken away, even someone of Ling Yuan Douluo's status would find it extremely difficult to obtain one.

Now she was clinging to Bing Jiu on the spot. Could it get any more convenient?

"Enough, enough."

Bing Jiu truly could not stand her fawning appearance. She looked around, then pointed at the Infernal Delicate Apricot nearby.

"This suits your fire attribute best. Go absorb it already."

"Got it!"

Ling Yuan Douluo rose to give Bing Jiu a kiss, but Bing Jiu clearly was not having it. She slapped her away, and Ling Yuan Douluo scurried off to the side in embarrassment.

Tuoba Xi awkwardly scratched his head beside them.

To be honest, he also wanted Bing Jiu to recommend one for him, but... he simply could not bring himself to ask.

"You get one too!"

Bing Jiu pointed at an herb on the other side that radiated white light. "Your martial soul is the White Armored Earth Dragon, focused on defense. The Nine Section White Dragon Bone is a Mystic Herb for top-tier defensive martial souls. Go absorb it."

"Yes! But, Saintess, I..."

"Do not worry. Just follow my orders!"

"Yes!"

Tuoba Xi gave Dugu Bo a deep look before beginning to absorb the Mystic Herb.

For a time, the two powerful experts beside Bing Jiu both entered cultivation.

Seeing this, Dugu Yan immediately became excited and repeatedly nudged Dugu Bo with her elbow.

She whispered, "Grandpa, this is the perfect opportunity! As long as you kill her, you'll be ridding the continent of a scourge!"

"Ridiculous!"

Without any hesitation, Dugu Bo immediately shook off Dugu Yan's hand.

"Grandpa, you..."

Dugu Yan was slightly startled. Dugu Bo had never treated her like this before.

"Yanyan, it's time you grew up."

After slowly speaking those words, Dugu Bo shook his head and walked toward Bing Jiu with some indignation.

Dugu Yan clenched her fists in fury and roared, "Hey, Grandpa, you're playing favorites! You... all of you! Just wait! I'll prove that I'm stronger than that so-called Saintess!"
