As he spoke, Yu Tianheng stuffed the " Medicine Classic " directly into Dugu Bo's arms.

Since things had been said to this extent, Dugu Bo had no choice but to accept.

He took the yellowed " Medicine Classic," his withered hand gripping the old Medicine Classic tightly, his fingertips trembling slightly.

He eagerly turned the yellowed pages, his gaze sweeping across the paper like that of a hawk.

In an instant, a line marked with cinnabar, " Myriad Poisons Transform into Yuan into Origin," came into view. Between the lines, it recorded a wonderful method of using poison as a guide to harmonize yin and yang, combining the characteristics of poisonous plants with the circulation of the human body's meridians in an exquisite way.

His brows furrowed, and his breathing became increasingly rapid. The unprecedented theories of medicine and prescriptions drew him in like a magnet, as if opening a door to a completely new world of poison. Even this Poison Douluo, who had dominated the continent for many years, couldn't help but immerse himself in it, his gaze unable to look away.

"Senior!"

Seeing that Dugu Bo was engrossed in watching, Yu Tianheng quickly reminded him.

But Dugu Bo's mind was completely absorbed in the ancient book in his hands.

It took him a long time to come to his senses.

He looked at Yu Tianheng and said in a low voice, "This book will be of great use to me. I will borrow it for three days and return it to you after that."

After saying that, Dugu Bo flicked his sleeve and disappeared from the spot, wanting to find a quiet place to carefully study the contents of the book.

Seeing that Dugu Bo had left, Yu Tianheng's lips curled up, and he began to put his plan into action.

As for helping Dugu Bo detoxify, he wasn't in a hurry at all; he had already figured out a solution.

The reason Dugu Bo was poisoned was simply because he lacked the ability to fully control the poison of the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor, which caused a backlash. We can just find a powerful poison technique for him to practice from the System Shop later; there's no need for all that trouble.

With this thought in mind, Yu Tianheng looked around the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, where all sorts of rare medicinal herbs grew, truly treasures of nature. If they could be combined and refined into pills, consuming them would definitely greatly enhance one's cultivation in a short period of time.

Speaking of which, there are countless medicinal herbs around the " Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well ", but the most precious ones are the two herbs growing on either side of the Ice and Fire Spring.

One is the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass: It grows at the center of one side of the Extreme Cold Yin Spring, and is octagonal in shape. The central flower stamen sparkles like ice crystals. It is a rare and precious cold poison that can enhance one's physique.

The other one is called " Infernal Delicate Apricot": located in the center of one side of the Blazing Yang Spring, it is entirely fiery red and is a top-grade fire poisonous immortal product.

Taking either one is suicidal, but taking both at the same time can bring great benefits. In the original story, the protagonist Tang San swallowed these two herbs to give the Blue Silver Grass the ability to be immune to both water and fire.

His own Martial Soul, physique, and Eight Spider Lances Soul Bone have also been greatly enhanced.

Now, this opportunity has fallen to him.

Then Yu Tianheng took a step forward and arrived in front of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

A billowing mist rushed towards him, and with a sudden twist of his palms, dark golden Martial Dao energy transformed into dragon-like chains that pierced through the air. A chilling force swept to one side; before the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass could even ripple with ice crystals, it was ripped from its roots by the energy-formed hand. At the blazing spring, the Infernal Delicate Apricot were plucked, Entanglement by another stream of energy, and flew into the air above Yu Tianheng's palm.

After successfully harvesting the two rare and precious herbs, Yu Tianheng did not consume them directly.

The reason is simple: the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the Infernal Delicate Apricot contain extreme cold and fire toxins, respectively. Direct consumption will cause great harm to the body and may even be fatal.

He's not Tang San, who has the protagonist's halo and can't die no matter what he does.

He only has one life, so he needs to be careful.

It would be best to refine these two rare and precious herbs into elixirs before consuming them.

By refining elixirs, the medicinal properties of the herbs are harmonized and neutralized, making them easier for the body to absorb and adapt to.

To be fair, Tang San has extensive knowledge of pharmacology and knows the properties of most medicinal herbs in the world, including poisons, but that's about it.

When using these medicinal materials, they are simply taken directly, and the absorbed medicinal power is less than 20% to 30%, which is a complete waste.

Yu Tianheng wouldn't be that foolish.

He first placed the two freshly picked rare and precious herbs into the back of the system, then sat cross-legged and communicated with the Heavenly Mandate System with his mental energy. Suddenly, a cold, mechanical voice sounded in his ear, "Host's need for alchemy tools has been detected. Do you wish to spend 2000 Heavenly Mandate Points to exchange for the ' Nine-Turn Heavenly Craft Cauldron '?"

"Exchange!" Yu Tianheng said without hesitation.

"After deducting 2,000 Heavenly Mandate Points, your current Heavenly Mandate Points are 43,000."

In an instant, the void trembled, and gilded patterns spread from the ground, transforming into a three-foot-tall bronze alchemy furnace suspended in mid-air. A relief of a golden dragon coiling around the cauldron appeared on the surface of the furnace, with crimson crystals embedded in the dragon's eyes. The edge of the cauldron lid was engraved with dense ancient inscriptions. With a humming sound, five-colored mist rose from the furnace, condensing into a small cloud of elixir in the quiet room, from which the faint sounds of phoenixes and dragons could be heard.

Yu Tianheng's pupils contracted sharply. As his fingertips traced the alchemy furnace, a vast amount of refining insights flooded into his mind. He gazed at the furnace wall, a smile playing on his lips—with this top-tier alchemy furnace, he could fuse the medicinal power of the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the Infernal Delicate Apricot Fragrance into a pill.

Unfortunately, Yu Tianheng was not skilled in alchemy and usually purchased the pills directly from the System Shop.

So Yu Tianheng asked the system if it could refine the pills on his behalf.

The system replied, "The host's materials are of acceptable quality, but the alchemy technique is insufficient. The expected success rate is less than 10%. To obtain the system's assistance in refining the pill, 1500 Heavenly Mandate Points will be required."

"Okay." Yu Tianheng agreed without hesitation.

It's just a mere 1500 Heavenly Mandate Points to give that.

If these two medicinal herbs can be refined into pills and consumed, one's cultivation level will definitely increase significantly. Compared to one's own strength, what is a mere Heavenly Mandate Points?

After deducting 1500 points of Heavenly Mandate Points, the Nine-Turn Heavenly Craft Cauldron spontaneously floated up, and the runes on its body moved like living things. The two medicinal herbs, the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the Infernal Delicate Apricot, in the backpack space instantly turned into streams of light and disappeared into the cauldron. A roar like a dragon's roar came from inside the cauldron, and seven-colored flames shot out from the cauldron's legs, and then began to refine the pills.

Refining elixirs takes time, so Yu Tianheng waited quietly to the side.

Elixirs are also classified into different grades, generally into four levels: low-grade elixirs, medium-grade elixirs, high-grade elixirs, and top-grade elixirs.

Above that are elixirs of immortality and divine power.

Pills like Body Tempering Pill are low-grade pills, effective only for low-level Soul Master or Martial Artists.

Pills like Qi Gathering Pill and Rejuvenation Pill are mid-grade pills, effective for mid-level Soul Master or Martial Artists.

I wonder what level of elixir could be made from these two ingredients?

We'll see the outcome soon.

Half an hour later, the pill was completed.

Through the system's appraisal, Yu Tianheng learned that the refined pill was called the " Yin Yang Dual Polarity Pill," and its grade was top-grade.
