"We've arrived. This is my herb garden, naturally formed, filled with countless rare and precious herbs. Take a look and see which ones you need," Dugu Bo said upon arrival.
Yu Tianheng nodded, then looked at the herb garden, realizing that this was the " Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well " he had longed for for so long.
Stepping inside is like entering another world. The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well is like a dazzling yet dangerous pearl, embedded in the land of Sunset Forest.
From afar, the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well is surrounded by a patch of strange plants. They are of various shapes and colors, emitting different intensities of precious light, as if telling the story of their extraordinary nature.
In the original story, Tang San will come here several years later, gain countless opportunities, and greatly increase his strength. Meanwhile, the original Yu Tianheng never knew that such a place existed. He could only bury himself in cultivation and hoped to surpass Tang San as soon as possible. Unfortunately, he was no match for Tang San, who had the protagonist's halo.
Afterwards, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon clan was wiped out, and he went from being the family heir to an ordinary Soul Master, living his entire life in Tang San's shadow.
But now, everything is about to change.
As he approached, Yu Tianheng saw an oval-shaped pool of water, clearly divided into two halves, resembling the yin and yang aspects of a tai chi symbol.
On one side is a cold, white spring, with Sisi white mist rising from its surface. A chilling aura wafts over, making one shiver as if it could freeze everything in the world into ice.
On the other side was a fiery red hot spring, the light above it slightly distorted, and billowing waves of heat rose up, as if they could burn everything to ashes.
The red and white waters of the pool are clearly distinct, yet they coexist within the same pool, never intruding on each other, like natural enemies, yet together they create this unique spectacle.
The pool water churned continuously, and occasionally, crystal-clear ice bubbles would rise from the icy white spring. They would slowly rise, burst on the surface, and release an even stronger chill.
The fiery red hot spring resembles a pot of boiling lava, constantly bubbling and making a "gurgling" sound, as if expressing its inner heat.
Where the two springs meet, water vapor rises like clouds and mist, forming a spectacular white curtain that drifts Nana into the sky and only dissipates slowly at the mountain pass.
Around the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, the land presents a strange state. On the side closer to the cold spring, the ground is covered with a thin layer of frost, and the soil is as hard as iron, as if frozen in time.
On the side closer to the hot spring, the land is cracked, with fissures resembling wounds on the earth, radiating heat as if telling the story of the scorching heat here.
Standing beside the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, one can feel two extreme forces intertwining and colliding around the body.
The sensations of cold and heat constantly assault the senses, as if trying to tear one's soul in two.
Seeing Yu Tianheng head straight for this place, Dugu Bo hurriedly reminded him, "Kid, I advise you to be careful. Even with my strength as a Titled Douluo, I wouldn't dare to easily set foot in this Hot and Cold Spring, let alone someone as mere Four-Ring Soul Ancestor as you."
Upon hearing this, Yu Tianheng stopped in his tracks, sighing inwardly. He had been so excited upon arriving at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well that he had completely forgotten that Dugu Bo was still there.
Yu Tianheng looked at Dugu Bo: "Senior, in that case, I will begin searching for the medicinal herbs needed for the antidote. However, the process may take a long time, so you should go back and wait. Once the herbs have been collected and the pills have been refined, I will personally deliver them to you."
Dugu Bo shook his head after hearing this. "No need. I'll watch you search. If you'd like, tell me the herbs you need, and I can help you find them as well. That way, things will be faster."
Yu Tianheng gritted his teeth secretly, feeling very displeased.
If you, Dugu Bo, are watching me from the sidelines, how can I act?
It seems I need to find a way to get Dugu Bo away so I can make my move.
After thinking for a moment, Yu Tianheng quickly came up with a solution.
"By the way, senior," Yu Tianheng said, taking out a worn and yellowed book from his robes and handing it to Dugu Bo, "After our conversation yesterday, I went back and looked for it, and finally found this ancient book."
"This book, titled ' The Medicine Classic,' records various rare medicinal herbs found in the world, their properties, as well as methods of alchemy and the use of poisons. It is truly all-encompassing. It was through studying this ancient book that I was able to immediately discern the deadly poison in you, senior. However, my experience is limited, and I can only know a little about it."
"But you are different, senior. You are knowledgeable and skilled in using poisons. If you could study this carefully, you might be able to make a breakthrough in the art of using poisons."
"Therefore, I have decided to lend this ' Medicine Classic ' to my senior for his perusal."
Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo was very excited.
As Titled Douluo, he already possessed status, identity, and strength. As for power and wealth, he could easily acquire them if he so desired.
But what interests him most is the study of medicinal herbs.
As a master of poisons, Dugu Bo had a deep interest in various rare medicinal herbs. He was obsessed with studying the properties and effects of these herbs to refine poisons and antidotes, as well as to solve his own poisoning problems.
At the same time, Dugu Bo was aloof and preferred quiet and peaceful environments.
The reason he lived in Sunset Forest was because it was quiet, undisturbed, and had a natural medicinal garden where he could conduct research.
It can be said that the " Medicine Classic " that Yu Tianheng took out was very attractive to Dugu Bo, even more so than a piece of Soul Bone.
Dugu Bo reached out to take the " Medicine Classic," but he quickly realized it belonged to Yu Tianheng, and it would be inappropriate to take it without permission.
He coughed lightly and waved his hand, saying, "Never mind, these are your things. It's not right for me to take something from someone like you, a junior."
In Dugu Bo's view, Yu Tianheng's act of helping him and Dugu Yan detoxify was already a great favor. Although Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan had a close relationship, it was only right that he helped.
But kindness is kindness, and that cannot be changed.
He felt indebted to Yu Tianheng for this favor, and yet he hadn't repaid it, which made him feel somewhat uncomfortable.
If Dugu Bo were to receive this " Medicine Classic " now, it would be an immense favor, making him feel indebted to Yu Tianheng.
Furthermore, since Yu Tianheng was his junior, he didn't want to owe Yu Tianheng too much.
Therefore, even though Dugu Bo knew that the " Medicine Classic " would be of great benefit to his cultivation of poison skills, he preferred not to have it.
Seeing this, Yu Tianheng smiled slightly, "Senior, what are you saying? Based on my relationship with Yanyan, what's mine is yours. If you really don't want to accept it for free, then consider it my betrothal gift to Yanyan."
