Two Deadly Poisons, One Path to Survival

Day three.

Dugu Bo brought back a 500-year-old Rock Armor Beast.

The Soul Beast's limbs were bound by emerald green Soul Power.

Unable to struggle.

Qin Ming frowned.

"Are you planning to use it for drug testing?"

"Just a test."

Dugu Bo said.

"I won't let it eat it directly."

Rock Armor Beast, Earth Attribute.

Physically strong.

It has no special resistance to cold or heat.

They are more resistant to energy changes than ordinary animals.

It is suitable for observing the results when two extreme energies enter the body simultaneously.

Dugu Bo picked up a grain of red dust that had naturally fallen off from the outer edge of the fiery red herb.

The herbal medicine was not damaged.

I also collected a small piece of frozen dew from near the Octagonal White Grass.

Both are merely trace amounts of energy naturally released by plants.

It cannot be compared to actual consumption.

He first sent the red powder into the Rock Armor Beast's body.

Less than three breaths.

The Rock Armor Beast's body temperature rose sharply.

Hot air was exhaled from his mouth and nose.

Blood flow under the skin increases.

then.

Dugu Bo delivered the ice dew.

Cold air enters.

Frost rapidly formed on the right half of the Rock Armor Beast.

The left side of my body is still burning.

The two forces did not merge immediately.

Instead, they each occupy one side of the body.

The Rock Armor Beast let out a painful roar.

His body kept convulsing.

"There is no balance."

Qin Ming said.

"Different entry order."

Li Man watched the changes in the Soul Beast's body.

"Hot first."

"It has already occupied the meridians."

The cold air could only stay on the other side.

Dugu Bo immediately used his Soul Power to force out the two forces.

The Rock Armor Beast lay prone on the ground.

Ye Lingling used Nine Heart Begonia' for treatment.

It didn't damage the root cause.

Second test.

Dugu Bo first let the ice dew and red powder come into contact in the jade bowl.

Two forces collided.

The jade bowl cracked instantly.

Frost and heat erupted simultaneously.

However, a drop of grayish-white liquid formed in the center.

"Enter simultaneously."

Li Man said.

Dugu Bo fed the drop of liquid into the mouth of the Rock Armor Beast.

The Rock Armor Beast's body trembled.

The sensations of heat and cold spread simultaneously from the abdomen.

This time.

It does not occupy the left and right sides.

Instead, they Entanglement.

Proceed along the same meridian.

The first few breaths.

The Rock Armor Beast's condition was actually more stable than the first time.

But after ten breaths...

The two forces began to separate once again.

Frost and erythema appeared on the skin at the same time.

"Equilibrium can only be maintained for a very short time."

Ye Lingling said.

"It needs to be done before we separate."

"Enter an environment where suppression can continue."

Everyone looked at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well at the same time.

Dong Jian asked:

"In the center of the spring?"

Dugu Bo shook his head.

"The central government is only superficially mild."

"The further down you go..."

The stronger the conflict between heat and cold.

"Enter directly."

Even I, an old man, cannot guarantee that I can bring you out.

"What if it's just on the shore?"

"Not effective enough."

Dugu Bo said.

"The power of the herbs themselves far surpasses that little bit of dust from before."

"Once we separate."

"Your body will be half frozen and half burned within breaths."

Qin Ming said directly:

"Then stop."

Dong Jian did not respond.

He walked to a spot ten steps away from the spring.

Release the Panda Martial Soul.

Black and White Bear shadow appeared behind them.

Three Soul Ring rose up.

"What you do?"

Qin Ming asked.

"Test the Martial Soul first."

Dong Jian brought his black Soul Power closer to the Cold Spring.

White Soul Power approached the fire spring.

Avoid contact with herbs.

It only absorbs the faintest traces of heat and cold from the surroundings.

Two forces entered the body.

The black color slid down along the left leg.

The white line rises along the right arm.

The body immediately became unbalanced.

Dong Jian did not use brute force to suppress him.

Instead, it refers to the route for Mountain Shifting.

The cold air hit my left leg.

Passing through the waist.

Turn to the right.

The heat from the right arm travels along the shoulder into the back.

Flowing to the left.

The first time that cold and heat intersected within the body.

Dong Jian's body trembled slightly.

The black and white Soul Power briefly clashed.

There was no fusion.

However, they did not immediately reject it.

"Circular Force Redirection."

Li Man understood his line of thinking.

You're mistaking hot and cold for external shocks.

"Force can change direction."

Dong Jian said:

"Attributes aren't necessarily unacceptable."

Dugu Bo sneered.

"That's easy to think about."

"Power flows through the body."

At most, it will only cause you injury.

"The origins of cold and heat enter the meridians."

"It will directly change your Soul Power attribute."

Therefore, simply transferring [the assets] is insufficient.

Dong Jian withdrew his aura of both cold and heat.

"They also need to be made to form a cycle."

Black inwards.

White outwards.

Enter from the left.

Release from the right side.

Then they exchange them.

In the past, the black and white powers of the Panda Martial Soul were simply operating in different directions.

It did not truly form a closed loop.

The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well provides a clear reference.

The two extreme forces are mutually exclusive.

They coexisted for a long time in the center of the spring.

The key is not to eliminate differences.

Instead, they should always remain in a position of mutual constraint.

Li Man produced yesterday's records.

"If taken at the same time."

"The balance can only be maintained for a few breaths."

"These few breaths are enough to enter the spring."

"But after entering..."

Who will maintain the pathways within your body?

Dong Jian looked at her.

"Meridian Suppression Formation."

Li Man immediately shook her head.

"The Meridian Suppression Formation can only stabilize the external parts of the body."

My Soul Power cannot enter your body.

"I know."

Dong Jian said:

"Only a few positions need to be fixed."

"Shoulder."

"Waist."

"Legs."

"To ensure the first cycle of hot and cold does not deviate from its course."

I'll finish the rest myself.

Qin Ming asked:

What if you can't finish it by yourself?

Dong Jian remained silent.

The answer is simple.

die.

Dugu Yan stood to one side.

His complexion grew increasingly grim.

"It's my poison."

There's no need for you to risk your life.

Dong Jian looked at her.

"It's not just about your poison."

The problem lies with the black and white Soul Power within him.

It has existed since the Martial Soul Awakening.

Switch between light and heavy weights.

Inward bearing.

Release outwards.

These abilities seem to work together.

However, they never unified a core.

Each consecutive use of Mountain-Shaking Stomp, Mountain Shifting, and Mountain-Shifting Step.

The body can be injured due to conflicting forces.

The Mountain-Suppressing Dragon Bamboo can only last for six breaths.

This is also related to the unstable circulation of black and white Soul Power.

Even without Dugu Yan's poison taking effect.

He will need to solve this problem sooner or later.

"If successful."

Dong Jian said:

"My black and white Soul Power may have truly stabilized."

"Only then can it withstand more changes in toxins."

It can also reduce recoil.

Dugu Bo stared at him.

"You want to use my herbs to change your Martial Soul?"

"Yes."

"On what grounds?"

Dugu Bo asked.

"Have you cured Yanyan's poison?"

"Not yet."

"You don't even know the names of those two herbs."

"I don't know how to harvest them either."

"You dare say you want to eat?"

Dong Jian did not defend himself.

What Dugu Bo said is true.

Currently, all they know about are the two plants, one of which is extremely cold and the other extremely hot.

They can temporarily restrain each other.

I know nothing else.

So I'm not eating today.

Dong Jian said.

"First, find a harvesting method."

Dugu Bo snorted coldly.

"He's not completely insane yet."

The act of picking itself.

This quickly became a new problem.

Any ordinary tool that gets close to the fiery red herb will rapidly heat up.

Getting close to Octagonal White Grass will freeze you.

Metal tweezers.

Wooden clamps.

Jade knife.

After continuous testing.

All attempts failed.

Li Man tried using bamboo and rattan.

It begins to scorch or freeze within three steps.

Dong Jian's Bear Astral Energy Body Protection allows him to get one step closer.

It is still impossible to touch directly.

Dugu Bo could certainly use his Titled Douluo Soul Power to forcibly remove it.

However, once the herbs are contaminated by his poisonous Soul Power...

It is uncertain whether it is still safe to take.

They restrain each other.

Li Man looked at the two medicinal herbs.

"Perhaps harvesting tools do not need to bear attributes."

"We only need to use the strength of another plant to separate them."

Dugu Bo asked:

How to separate them?

Li Man pointed to a frost-covered stone slab near the fiery red herbs.

That was during the morning test.

Dugu Bo collected the jade pieces left behind by Binglu.

The jade piece itself was already frozen.

After approaching the fiery red herb.

The frost melted quickly.

But it did not break immediately.

same.

The jade piece, which had been filled with fiery red dust, approached the Octagonal White Grass.

Heat can temporarily counteract the cold.

"Use cold-natured tools to collect hot herbs."

"Use heated objects to collect cold-resistant herbs."

Li Man said.

Dugu Bo took out two short jade knives.

A blade of grass was first soaked in the cold air around the edge of the icy spring.

The other one was heated by the heat waves naturally emanating from the fiery red herbs.

Who's coming?

He asked.

Dong Jian moves forward.

"I."

Qin Ming was about to stop him.

Dugu Bo has already said:

"Not now."

Let's see how much closer we can get.

Dong Jian held the Cold Jade Blade in his left hand.

Heading towards the fiery red herbs.

He holds a hot jade knife in his right hand.

Of course, it's impossible to go to the Octagonal White Grass simultaneously.

He first approached the fiery red herb.

The white frost on the surface of the jade knife melted rapidly.

The blade continued to heat up.

But this continues until you enter a range of one foot.

The jade knife remains intact.

Dong Jian's arms, Bear Astral Energy Body Protection, were deformed by the heatwave.

He did not continue.

Retreat immediately.

Then they moved to the side of the cold grass.

The hot jade knife approaches.

The heat dropped rapidly.

The blade was covered with a thin layer of frost.

Continue to maintain a distance of one foot.

The assessment is feasible.

But when it comes to actually harvesting...

It must be completed consecutively.

After the two herbs were removed from their growing location.

The attribute might suddenly activate.

No plant should be allowed to remain in the outside environment for too long.

It takes two people to pick them together.

Li Man said.

"No."

Dugu Bo immediately denied it.

"He's the one who took it."

"Both forces must fall into the hands of one person simultaneously."

"Give it to him after someone else has handled it."

There's not enough time.

Dong Jian looked at the distance between the two herbs.

More than twenty steps.

One cannot stand on both sides at the same time.

unless.

Utilize the key points of the formation.

"I'm in charge of one of them."

Li Man said.

"After picking."

"It will be delivered directly to your hands using Green Bamboo Rebound."

"The bamboo and rattan will be destroyed."

Dong Jian said.

"Just hold on for a moment."

Li Man answered.

She chose the fiery red herb.

After being picked with a cold jade knife.

Do not allow the Green Jade Bamboo to come into direct contact.

Instead, the bamboo shadow struck the end of the jade knife.

He flicked the entire knife, along with the herbs, at Dong Jian.

Dong Jian finished picking the herbs on one side of the grass.

Both plants were acquired at the same time.

Take it immediately.

Then enter the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

Every step.

The error must not exceed one breath.

Qin Ming listened.

His face turned even uglier.

"You're describing the risk of death like a training command."

"Because these are indeed the only steps."

Li Man said.

"Any step could fail."

Qin Ming said in a deep voice:

"It's not about starting over."

"I know."

Li Man answered.

Therefore, further verification is needed.

The rest of the day.

They did not collect herbs.

Simply practice the movements repeatedly.

Li Man replaced the fiery red herb with common red leaf grass.

Dong Jian used ice crystals instead of Octagonal White Grass.

The two were twenty paces apart.

They acted simultaneously.

pick.

Rebound.

Catch it.

swallow.

Rushing towards the spring.

first.

Li Man's rebound was off course by half a step.

Dong Jian failed to catch it.

The second time.

Dong Jian caught it.

He turned around a moment too late.

The third time.

The two moved in sync.

Dong Jian arrived at the spring within two breaths.

But then they found Qin Ming standing in front of them.

Simulation sudden obstacles.

The fourth time.

Dugu Bo used his Soul Power to create airflow interference.

The jade knife shifted in mid-air.

Until the seventeenth time.

The two completed all their actions despite various distractions.

Dugu Bo did not offer any praise.

He simply said:

"The movements are barely enough."

"It's still pending after taking the medication."

How to survive?

Li Man has already selected four external nodes for the Meridian Suppression Formation.

Shoulders.

Side of the waist.

Near the legs.

The core of the formation cannot enter Dong Jian's body.

It can only be used during an outbreak of fever or chills.

Keep his torso basically stable.

Avoid applying force that could tear the joint immediately.

Ye Lingling was responsible for observing the patients' vital signs.

She couldn't use her healing Soul Power to help Dong Jian absorb the medicinal effects.

Physical injuries can only be treated after he leaves the spring.

Dugu Bo was responsible for the final guarantee.

If Dong Jian loses consciousness before even entering the spring.

Dugu Bo forced out the power of the two herbs.

The cost might be damage to Martial Soul.

At least there's a chance to save your life.

All preparations are complete.

It was getting dark.

Li Man assumed Dong Jian would choose the early morning of the following day.

He stood at the Yin Yang Well.

"Tonight."

Qin Ming frowned.

Why not rest for the night?

"Cold and hot environments are more stable at night."

Dong Jian said.

During the day, sunlight enhances the energy on one side of the fire spring.

The cold spring becomes even stronger at night.

Only shortly after sunset.

The forces on both sides are evenly matched.

This is the result he obtained after two days of observation using his Earth Vein Perception.

Dugu Bo also agreed.

Before midnight.

"This is indeed the time when the Yin Yang Well are at their most balanced."

Qin Ming looked at Dong Jian.

"One last question."

"Sure?"

Dong Jian nodded.

"Sure."

Dugu Yan walked up to him.

"After success."

"That doesn't mean you have to solve all the poisoning for me."

"I know."

"If we fail."

Dugu Yan paused for a moment.

I don't owe you a life.

Dong Jian looked at her.

I'm not dying in your place.

"I'm taking a gamble on my Martial Soul."

Dugu Yan said nothing more.

Li Man has already approached the fiery red herbs.

Holding a cold jade knife.

Dong Jian stood in front of the Octagonal White Grass.

He held a hot jade knife in his right hand.

The two were about twenty paces apart.

The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, surged within.

Dugu Bo raised his right hand.

I'll count to three.

"One."

The frost on the jade blade began to melt.

The surface temperature of the hot jade knife continuously decreases.

"Two."

Li Manqing's jade bamboo unfolded behind her.

The four Meridian Suppression Formation points had already been placed near the spring.

Dong Jian's Panda Martial Soul appears.

Black and white Soul Power stood on either side.

"Three."

The two jade knives fell simultaneously.

The fiery red herb is separated from its roots.

A scorching beam of light shot into the sky.

The Octagonal White Grass was cut.

The surrounding ground was instantly covered in ice.

Li Man struck the end of the Cold Jade Blade with a palm strike.

Green Bamboo Rebound!

The fiery red herbs transformed into a beam of red light.

Flying over the spring.

Dong Jian caught it with his left hand.

He held Octagonal White Grass in his right hand.

Extreme cold and extreme heat simultaneously seeped into the body through the arms.

I haven't taken it yet.

His skin was already frosted over.

One side is turning red.

Dugu Bo shouted sternly:

"Eat!"

Dong Jian did not hesitate.

Raise both hands simultaneously.

Two medicinal herbs, one red and one white.

Put it in your mouth.
