Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well

The Blue Silver Emperor had sacrificed her Soul Ring and Soul Bone, losing all her cultivation.

To save the Blue Silver Emperor, restore her cultivation, and allow her to take human form again, he had to bring her somewhere plants could grow hundreds or thousands of times faster.

There happened to be just such a place on the Douluo Continent.

One of Douluo's must-eat destinations: the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well!

After leaving the valley, Li Jin used his flight skill to head north. Now that he could fly, he was having the time of his life.

Whenever he grew tired of flying, he landed and found somewhere to rest. Once rested, he took to the sky and continued on his way.

After a few days, he reached the central province of the Heaven Dou Empire.

The province was home to the Sunset Forest, and the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well lay within it.

After asking around, Li Jin made his way into the Sunset Forest.

Gazing at the dense, verdant forest, he landed on the ground. He had his own unique way of finding the direction of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

He picked up a branch and casually tossed it into the air.

Once it landed, he looked at the direction it pointed.

"Looks like it's this way!"

Li Jin looked ahead, then used his flight skill and flew off in that direction.

During the journey, the Blue Silver Emperor conveyed her thoughts to Li Jin through Spiritual Detection.

"Benefactor, where are we going?"

"My homeland is a forest on the border between the two great empires. The whole forest is full of Blue Silver Grass, all of them my subjects."

"If you can take me there, with my subjects protecting me, I'm confident I can recover my hundred-thousand-year cultivation in just a few tens of thousands of years."

Li Jin smiled calmly. "A few tens of thousands of years? It won't take that long. The place I'm taking you to can make plants grow hundreds or thousands of times faster!"

"With your foundation, you can recover your hundred-thousand-year cultivation in less than a hundred years."

"With another fortunate opportunity, you might even recover your hundred-thousand-year cultivation in just a few years."

Hearing that, the Blue Silver Emperor's soul crashed.

How could such a place exist on the Douluo Continent?

If a hundred-thousand-year plant Soul Beast could be produced in just a few hundred years, wouldn't hundred-thousand-year plant Soul Beasts be popping up in droves across the Douluo Continent?

She could only think that Li Jin was teasing her.

With Li Jin's luck at max, he didn't encounter a single large Soul Beast along the way. Danger went out of its way to avoid him.

Half an hour later, a bank of emerald-green poison mist blocked Li Jin's path. It gave off a foul, fishy stench that made his head swim with a single whiff.

"I've found it. Dugu Bo's poison mist can spread all around the place, but surely it can't reach the sky."

Li Jin leaped into the air and flew a hundred meters up, then crossed the emerald-green poison mist and landed in the valley it guarded.

Just then, deep in the valley!

A powerful surge of Soul Power suddenly erupted, like a sleeping Ferocious Beast awakening, giving off a chilling presence that made one shudder.

"Who is it?"

"To think you managed to get through the poison mist I set up. It seems you came prepared. Whoever you are, I'll make you pay!"

The next moment!

A streak of emerald-green light flashed out, following the unfamiliar presence until it reached the edge of the valley.

It landed, revealing the figure within.

It was an old man in a gray robe, with a withered frame and messy, dark green hair. His eyes were dark green too, with a vacant, illusory quality to them, and his gaunt cheeks were skin and bones.

Being watched by him was like being watched by a venomous snake hidden in the dark, ready to pick someone out and devour them at any moment.

The old man stared at Li Jin without blinking, astonished by his youth. Such a graceful, handsome boy had actually made it through the poison mist he had set up.

As doubts arose in his mind, so did a strong killing intent, and he demanded viciously:

"Boy, who exactly are you? Why have you barged into my territory..."

Before his words had even faded!

The old man's eyes widened. He felt waves of cold seeping from his very bones; the deadly poison that had invaded his internal organs had suddenly flared up all at once.

Both sides of his ribs itched and tingled!

A needle-like pain appeared at the crown of his head and the soles of his feet!

With a thud, the old man fell forward to the ground. His eyes bulged, his features twisted, and his tongue stuck far out of his mouth. Beastlike roars tore from his throat as his whole body convulsed violently.

Ah! It hurts so much!

Damn it, it clearly isn't time for the poison to flare up. Why did it suddenly strike?

This is bad. I'm done for. Am I, the great Dugu Bo, really going to die here today?

Yanyan, Grandpa can't protect you anymore. You'll have to protect yourself...

A surge of profound sorrow and resentment welled up in Dugu Bo's heart.

Seeing Dugu Bo collapse as the poison struck, Li Jin immediately understood that Nine-Colored Koi had been triggered again. He had originally planned to discuss detoxification with Dugu Bo, but now there was no need.

"Dugu Bo, I haven't even had a chance to say a word to you. Was it really necessary to feel murderous toward me?"

"You need to change that temper of yours and rein in your killing intent, or you'll have plenty to suffer in the future!"

Suddenly, as though he had thought of something, Li Jin's lips curved into an interested smile.

"Since I'm here, let's go through the usual routine."

"I'm here to extract Immortal Herbs. You've been poisoned. When the poison flares up, both sides of your ribs itch and tingle, and you feel a needle-like pain at the crown of your head and the soles of your feet, accompanied by full-body convulsions."

"Right, just like you are now."

"I have a way to rid you of the poison, but you felt murderous toward me the moment you arrived, so I don't want to do it. Now I'm going to pick some herbs from your medicinal garden. I'll probably come by often from now on."

With that, Li Jin walked past Dugu Bo, who lay on the ground.

With the poison raging and his scalp feeling as though it were about to burst, Dugu Bo could only watch Li Jin walk past him, unable to do a thing.

This boy... who exactly is he...?

How does he... know my physical condition... so thoroughly?

And what is this boy talking about? Extracting Immortal Herbs? He can even... rid me of the poison...

Dugu Bo was shaken to the core.

This boy was only six or seven, yet he had not only recognized him, but had also remained perfectly composed in his presence, immediately identified his physical condition, and repeatedly claimed he could rid him of the poison.

Most importantly...

He seemed to know why the poison in his body had suddenly flared up!

Dugu Bo felt a deep dread in his heart.

This can't be a child! It has to be some old monster pretending to be young, showing no martial virtue, tricking and ambushing me. He really has no respect for his age!

He didn't kill me? Did he not want to, or did he consider it beneath him? I actually felt murderous toward someone like that...

Meanwhile!

Li Jin had ventured deep into the valley, where he saw a medicinal garden bursting with flowers. Rare and exotic herbs covered the ground, all of them Immortal Herbs that were hard to find in the outside world.

A faint mist swirled through the air, making the valley look like a fairyland.

At the very center of the valley was a pool with two colors: one half fiery red, the other icy white.

The fiery red half gave off scorching heat, while the icy white half radiated a bitter chill.

Though the two colors of water occupied the same pool, they remained distinctly separate, forcing one to marvel at the wonders of heaven and earth.

This was the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well!

The Blue Silver Emperor breathed in the ice and fire energy in the air and felt the Soul Power inside her grow unusually active. She had a feeling that if she could take root here, she really could grow hundreds or thousands of times faster.

"Heavens! There really is such a wondrous place in the world!"

"While that heartless man is still alive, I really have a chance to confront him..."
