Chapter 91: Finally Reaching the Yin Yang Well of Ice and Fire
If an ordinary person learned the secret of his medicinal garden in Sunset Forest, Dugu Bo would definitely kill them to silence them. But Yu Tianlin was different. He had cured his granddaughter.
It should be noted that Dugu Bo's son and daughter in law had both passed away. Dugu Yan was his only remaining family. In his heart, Dugu Yan was more important than his own life.
Dugu Bo's poison methods easily gave him a terrifying, sinister aura, yet he was actually a man of his word, someone who repaid kindness. Prince Xue Xing was the best example. Because Prince Xue Xing saved his life, Dugu Bo joined the Heaven Dou Empire's camp and helped Prince Xue Xing solve many problems.
Yu Tianlin curing Dugu Yan was, to Dugu Bo, a debt that surpassed even saving his life.
With such a great favor, taking Yu Tianlin to his own herb garden was no problem at all. On top of that, Yu Tianlin claimed he was looking for 2 miraculous herbs for his granddaughter, and that it would also help increase the success rate of detoxifying Dugu Bo himself.
In any case, Dugu Bo did not recognize most of the herbs there. If Yu Tianlin could identify them, then it was better to put them to use.
And so, led by Dugu Bo, Yu Tianlin and Dugu Yan headed straight for Sunset Forest.
Sunset Forest was a huge gathering place for Spirit Beasts, only slightly inferior to Star Dou Great Forest, and comparable to Thunder Canyon near the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. There were quite a few Spirit Beasts in the forest with cultivation of over 50,000 years.
However, as Dugu Bo led the two deeper into Sunset Forest, not a single Spirit Beast attacked them. Dugu Bo explained that he had stayed there for so many years that the powerful Spirit Beasts were already familiar with his aura and would not provoke him unless there was a conflict.
The trio continued deeper, until they reached a mountain in the center of Sunset Forest. Dugu Bo suddenly stopped, raised his hand, and flicked 2 pills into Yu Tianlin's and Dugu Yan's hands.
"Ahead is a poison array I set up. Any Spirit Master below level 70 who dares to trespass will surely die. You two, hold this pill in your mouth but don't swallow it, and you will be unaffected by the poison array."
The two agreed and immediately followed his instructions. With the pills held between their teeth, they crossed the poison array and continued forward with Dugu Bo. Yu Tianlin's heart was full of anticipation. He was finally going to see the famous Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye.
The three climbed the mountain and soon reached the summit.
Even though Yu Tianlin had mentally prepared himself, his blood still surged when he saw it with his own eyes.
Ahead was a valley shrouded in mist. It was midday, and under the intense sunlight, Yu Tianlin could clearly make out the pool below.
The pool was oval shaped, split cleanly into 2 halves. One side was milky white, the other vermilion. There was no overlap between them at all, as if an invisible line had separated them forever.
This was the Yin Yang Well of Ice and Fire. It contained the key to becoming a god.
Dugu Yan was stunned. She never expected such a beautiful place to exist deep within Sunset Forest, like a hidden paradise. No wonder her grandfather chose this place as a medicinal herb garden.
Dugu Bo's expression turned solemn.
"The spiritual energy in this basin is extremely terrifying. If humans or animals live in it, they will soon be blown apart and die."
"My cultivation is profound, so I can resist it, but you can't. That's why I never brought Yan Yan here."
At that, Dugu Bo looked toward Yu Tianlin. "Little guy, what's your plan?"
"Don't worry, Senior." Yu Tianlin explained, "The herbs that grow in the valley have adapted to the environment. As long as Sister Yan and I eat a suitable herb and absorb its aroma, we will naturally be able to resist the impact of the heaven and earth spiritual energy."
"I hope you're right." Dugu Bo nodded. "So, what are your goals?"
"It's already arranged for Sister Yan." Yu Tianlin pointed ahead. "At the center of the ice spring and the fire spring, 2 immortal herbs have been nurtured by the essence of extreme yin and extreme yang. They are called the Eight Cornered Mysterious Ice Grass and the Blazing Apricot Blossom."
"You're going to feed Yan Yan those 2 things?" Dugu Bo vaguely remembered them and blurted out in shock. "Those 2 are edible?"
"Of course they're edible." Yu Tianlin smiled. "A single plant is naturally extremely cold or extremely hot. But if you take the 2 together, they neutralize each other. That's when you can consume them."
"However, under normal circumstances, even if you seize this opportunity and consume them at the same time, your body still has to endure the baptism of ice and fire. If you can't withstand it, you will explode and die."
"But this is the Yin Yang Well of Ice and Fire. As long as you eat these 2 immortal herbs and immediately jump into the boundary between ice and fire in the pool, you can borrow the external power of the pool water. Your success will be 100% guaranteed."
Yu Tianlin spoke smoothly and confidently. Dugu Bo could not help clicking his tongue. "Tsk tsk. You little guy really know a lot."
Yu Tianlin smiled faintly and continued, "After eating these 2 immortal herbs, Sister Yan will become immune to water and fire and avoid all poisons. Moreover, her physical strength will be greatly enhanced, and her cultivation speed will become terrifying."
"If I just say it like this, you might not feel how real it is. Let me give you an example. Don't be fooled by the fact that Sister Yan is only level 34 now. As long as she eats these 2 immortal herbs, she will be able to break through to level 40 within 1 year."
"Moreover, once you reach level 40, you can break the 5,000 year limit of the 4th Spirit Ring and hunt Spirit Beasts that are thousands of years old. As long as you drag the Spirit Beast's corpse to the Yin Yang Well of Ice and Fire and use the power of the pool water to absorb the Spirit Ring, there will be absolutely no problem."
Yu Tianlin's estimate was conservative. Still, the more he spoke, the brighter Dugu Bo's eyes became. Finally, Dugu Bo could not help coughing and asking, "Little guy, can you help me pick a suitable herb too? Not an ordinary herb, but the immortal herb you mentioned."
"It's possible, but you must have taken herbs here before, Senior." Yu Tianlin explained. "If you already took an immortal herb, then it won't work now."
"Each immortal herb has terrifying medicinal power. Once you take 1, you can't take another easily, otherwise it may cause a conflict."
"Uh, then forget it."
Hearing that, Dugu Bo thought for a moment and could only give up helplessly.
Although he could not identify the herbs, he could still compare them. Anything that felt far stronger than an ordinary herb was naturally suspicious.
Dugu Bo had once consumed a herb with extremely powerful effects, but it had the wrong properties and brought him great suffering. Ever since then, he never dared to take any herb he did not recognize.
Now that he thought about it again, the powerful herb he had taken back then was very likely one of the immortal herbs Yu Tianlin mentioned.
