Ling Yu found a place to sit down and quickly finished writing the letter. Dugu Bo took it, glanced at it, felt something was strange, but didn't notice any special information, so he put it back into his Soul Tool.

"Kid, I'm going to deliver a message to you now. Don't touch anything in the herb garden carelessly. You need to know that the extraction of these rare and precious herbs is extremely demanding, sometimes even requiring gold or jade. The slightest carelessness will cause them to wither and lose their medicinal properties."

Dugu Bo glanced at Ling Yu. Although the information said he was of good character, he was still worried that Ling Yu would take the rare and precious herbs here at will. After all, his Spiritual Appraisal could directly distinguish the medicinal properties, and Dugu Bo did not dare to gamble.

Making Ling Yu swear another Martial Soul Oath would be too insulting. If he were to mistake a highly poisonous substance for a neutral herb, Dugu Bo would be the one to suffer.

"Senior, I would like to confirm, how many herbs did you promise me?"

Dugu Bo frowned, then said, "Four stalks. Don't think it's too little. You should know that you can't bite off more than you can chew. Eating too much of this kind of thing can cause adverse reactions and may even lead to your body exploding and dying."

"Also, it can't be something I've set my sights on."

"Did you choose those two plants, senior?" Ling Yu pointed to a large, octagonal white flower in the center of the Extremely Yin Cold Spring, with ice crystal-like stamens in the center.

There is also a bright red, cabbage-shaped plant in the center of the fiery Yang Spring.

Dugu Bo recalled the characteristics Ling Yu had just identified, "Fire, Fire Poison, Extreme Cold, and Cold Poison, each for 8,140 years."

"Boy, didn't you just identify it as poisonous? Why did you choose these two? Are you lying?" Dugu Bo narrowed his eyes, staring at Ling Yu with a scrutinizing and intimidating gaze.

"This junior dares not presume. I have only seen these two Immortal Herb in an ancient book. They are called Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Infernal Delicate Apricot. Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass can be removed with metal, while Infernal Delicate Apricot requires jade to preserve its medicinal properties."

"Taking both at the same time can neutralize the toxicity, temper the body, make it impervious to water and fire, and allow entry into the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well."

"What ancient book? What's its name? Where did you see it?"

"The name ' Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well' is indeed suitable for this hot spring. What does 'Immortal Herb' mean?" Dugu Bo asked quickly, pressing him relentlessly.

"I participated in the Soul Hunting Corps in the Frozen Forest. The captain there carried some family heirlooms with him in his spare time. One of them, a fragment of the ' Immortal Herb Records,' happened to contain these two records. The so-called Immortal Herb are medicinal herbs that can improve a person's physical attributes."

Ling Yu Dugu Bo only believed Ling Yu's claim about the Immortal Herb, since it was something he wanted to eat himself, so how could it possibly harm him?

He didn't believe the source at all. How could he confirm it? Was he supposed to run all the way to the Frozen Forest to find his so-called captain? And a mere fragment?

It's likely that Ling Yu knew where to obtain this knowledge, but was unwilling to reveal it, so he fabricated this story. He might even have seen it with his own eyes to be so confident in eating those two Immortal Herb.

"Boy, let me ask you, do you know where to find these Immortal Herb?"

Ling Yu's eyes twitched involuntarily, a subconscious reaction, but it was immediately caught by Dugu Bo, who released a pressure on him.

"Explain."

"This junior knows that the Yang Family Breaking Clan might possess..." Ling Yu felt a sweetness in his chest, almost spitting out blood, and felt somewhat indignant. "This old monster is indeed unpredictable..."

Dugu Bo instantly withdrew his oppressive aura and said in a low voice, " The Breaking Clan? Indeed, even the Clear Sky Sect covets their alchemy techniques and has repeatedly demanded them. It was my oversight."

"Are you sure you didn't falsify the drug's efficacy?"

"You are Dugu Yan's grandfather, I would never harm my friend's family." Ling Yu patted his chest, somewhat helpless.

These words caused Dugu Bo to pause, inwardly lamenting that he had been blinded by the herbs. After all, he was his granddaughter's friend. After a moment, he slowly said, "Sorry, young man, since you want those two, I'll get them for you. Remember, two of the four types have already been taken."

Dugu Bo took out gold and jade artifacts from his Storage Soul Tool and instantly went to Yang Spring and Hanquan to cut down two Immortal Herb. After all, he had been here for many years and was already used to the spiritual power of water and fire.

He then manipulated his Soul Power to summon the two Immortal Herb. When they came close together, the power of ice and fire instantly canceled each other out.

"Senior, hurry! The effects will completely disappear in ten breaths." Ling Yu said anxiously.

Dugu Bo frowned slightly. He had intended to study it, but the medicinal properties dissipated so quickly that he simply tossed the Immortal Herb over, and it landed in front of Ling Yu.

Ignoring the pain in his chest, he immediately grabbed the two Immortal Herb and stuffed them into his mouth. The herbs melted instantly upon entering his mouth and slid down his throat, releasing a delicate fragrance.

After finishing his meal, Ling Yu disregarded his manners and rushed directly towards the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. Dugu Bo instinctively wanted to stop him, as he was well aware of the strangeness of the spring water. However, seeing Ling Yu's body sometimes glowing icy blue and sometimes fiery red, and remembering Ling Yu's words about being impervious to water and fire, he decided not to make a move upon entering the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

The process of alternating between water and fire was extremely painful. Fortunately, Ling Yu had consumed Whale Rubber and whale brains of various years, which allowed him to resist for a while. When the effects of the medicine took full effect, he fell into the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

Looking at the calm surface of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Dugu Bo frowned, somewhat worried that Ling Yu would be completely destroyed, but he also felt that Ling Yu would not joke with his own life, and must have absolute certainty.

"Never mind, I'll go deliver the message first and then look at it when I get back." Dugu Bo's heart stirred.

He then instantly teleported to Heaven Dou City.

Inside the Heaven Dou City in Tiandou City --

Dugu Bo directly stepped into the mansion through the void, saying, " Xue Qinghe, come out and have a chat." He looked indifferently at the guards who had surrounded him.

Before long, Xue Qinghe and Su Yao walked over together, a hint of anger hidden in their eyes.

" Your Jade Phosphor Douluo, where is Ling Yu?" Xue Qinghe suppressed his emotions and bowed.

"This is his letter." With a flick of his Soul Power, Dugu Bo sent a letter floating to Xue Qinghe's front, then vanished in an instant.

Watching his departing figure, Xue Qinghe bit her lip and lowered her voice, " Uncle She, could you please follow him?"

"Young Master, no! Ci Xue has already gone to Sunset Forest. The Great Enshrined's order was to ensure you have a Titled Douluo guard by your side. Don't worry, he doesn't have any blood on him. Perhaps Ci Xue will meet him in Sunset Forest." A voice entered his ears.

Xue Qinghe clenched his fist slightly.

Then, upon opening the letter, I saw it read:

Snow, I'm fine. I'll be back in a few days.

Xue Qinghe's pupils dilated as she recalled the scene in the reception room yesterday—"So, what do you want me to call you?" "You decide."

"He remembers..."

"Using it here? That doesn't count..."

"I'll settle the score with you when I get back..." A ripple of emotion stirred in Xue Qinghe's heart.
