"Boy, someone has asked me to take your life. Tell me your last words."
Dugu Bo stared silently at Jun Yi, like a venomous snake eyeing its prey.
"I only had a conflict with Xue Beng recently, and he had his reasons to kill me, but for a spoiled prince like him to take action, he doesn't have that kind of power. It was Prince Xue Xing who invited you, senior, right?"
Jun Yi showed no panic, maintaining a calm expression.
"Are these your last words?"
Dugu Bo narrowed his eyes, then suddenly disappeared, reappearing in front of Jun Yi the next second, and punched Jun Yi in the abdomen with astonishing speed.
Jun Yi was already prepared. In an instant, his palm turned down, the ROOM space opened, and he raised his finger, swapping his position with a pebble in the distance, causing Dugu Bo to miss his target.
"Hmm? That's fast."
Dugu Bo was shocked that his attack had been dodged by a Soul Elder. His eyes widened in disbelief.
Dugu Bo slowly turned around, his gaze fixed intently on Jun Yi.
"Kid, I didn't expect your Martial Soul to be related to space."
Dugu Bo took a step forward, lightly touched the ground with his toes, and leaped into the air. He pushed off the ground with his right leg and used the rebound force to attack Jun Yi again. His speed was incredibly fast, and in the blink of an eye, he was in front of Jun Yi. He threw a punch, and the fist light burst out and came whistling.
"ROOM: Shambles "
Jun Yi smiled faintly, raised his finger again, and distanced himself from Dugu Bo once more. Then he said, "Senior Poison Douluo, please stop."
Upon hearing Jun Yi call out his title, Poison Douluo's pupils contracted slightly, then a smile appeared on his face. "Boy, how did you know I'm Poison Douluo?"
"The stench of the toxins emanating from you is unmistakable within a ten-meter radius," Jun Yi thought to himself, but outwardly Jun Yi shrugged and said, "After all, I am Brother Xue's sworn brother, and I know a thing or two about the relationship between Prince Xue Xing and you. If he wants to make me disappear from the world without a trace, only Senior Poison Douluo can do it."
"Heh, you're quite clever." Dugu Bo stopped his attack, then stared quietly at Jun Yi, and said, "Boy, Yanyan and I sent a message saying that you noticed she has poison in her body?"
Do you know what price you'll pay for saying that?
Jun Yi knew his chance had come. He put on a serious expression and said, "There's absolutely no mistake. In fact, after meeting you, senior, I'm even more certain that this poison is related to your Martial Soul and the poison technique you practice."
Dugu Bo did not respond to Jun Yi, but his expression changed.
Seeing that Dugu Bo was beginning to waver, Jun Yi told a lie, saying, "My Martial Soul is somewhat special. I can detect the physical condition of any Soul Master who is enveloped by my ROOM space. Just now, I sensed that you had a large amount of toxins in your body, which had penetrated deep into your bone marrow and meridians. If you hadn't been so strong and hadn't taken some rare and precious herbs, you would probably have died from the backlash of the toxins."
Jun Yi's words caused Dugu Bo's expression to change several times, from gloomy to murderous intent, but in the end he sighed and asked Jun Yi, "Since you know so much, do you have a solution?"
Jun Yi smiled calmly and said, "Senior Poison Douluo, I did not intend to pry into your secrets, but your poison is too potent. With my strength, I'm afraid it would be difficult."
"Difficult? So you still have a way, right?" Dugu Bo understood the meaning behind Jun Yi's words and knew that there was a chance for things to turn around.
Jun Yi then stated his conditions, saying, "I can help you detoxify, but I need a large amount of herbs. After all, my strength is weak, and I need herbs to assist me."
"However, treating Senior Sister Dugu Yan would be much simpler, since her poisoning isn't severe yet, so it only takes a short time to treat her."
Jun Yi directly offered to treat Dugu Yan, which immediately caused Dugu Bo's emotions to fluctuate.
Are you telling the truth?
The backlash from the poison had always been a source of anxiety for Dugu Bo. His son died from the poison's explosion, and Dugu Bo himself was only able to barely suppress it by relying on his Titled Douluo Soul Power and the herbal medicine.
But his granddaughter, Dugu Yan, has always been a source of heartache for him. If Jun Yi can truly cure Dugu Yan's poison, then he will have fulfilled one of his wishes. Even if he cannot cure the poison and dies from it, he can die without regret.
"If Poison Douluo trusts me, I can treat you first. What do you think, Senior?"
"Okay, come with me."
With a wave of his hand, Dugu Bo used his Soul Power to carry Jun Yi into the air, and the two flew towards the Sunset Forest.
Dugu Bo carried Jun Yi through the air for about half a day. As the sun was about to set, the two arrived at a poisonous miasma deep within the Sunset Forest. Dugu Bo Dugu Bo his hand, and the surrounding miasma dispersed. He then walked straight in and entered a cave.
Emerging from the cave, they found themselves in a dense forest, situated atop a hill about 500 meters high within the Sunset Forest. Because it was nighttime, they couldn't see much of the surrounding scenery.
Dugu Bo climbed the mountain path as if walking on flat ground. He seemed to be walking very slowly, but each step was more than ten meters long and the distance of each step was extremely even. During the climb, he seemed to be ascending vertically. Jun Yi also reached the top of the mountain in the same way.
"So this is the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well? It's truly magnificent."
The hot spring in the valley before Jun Yi was not what he had imagined. The hot spring area was not large, but it was divided into two oval pools, with the water in one pool being milky white and the other vermilion. Although they were in the same pool, they were clearly separated, not encroaching on each other, and always remaining on their own side.
Even Jun Yi, who knew the original story, was awestruck by the sight of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well when he actually saw it. The beauty of the scenery was truly magnificent.
Seeing Jun Yi's shocked expression, Dugu Bo laughed and said, "Boy, this is my private herb garden. You can use any of the herbs here as you please, as long as you can cure Yanyan."
"Rest assured, senior, I will certainly live up to your expectations."
Jun Yi was naturally filled with joy and excitement. He had finally arrived at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and obtained the Immortal Herb. Although it was a little later than he had expected, it wasn't too late.
"Senior, if I heal you and Senior Sister Dugu Yan, could you please give me some medicinal herbs?"
