Chapter 25 The Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire
Flander and Liu Erlong then went back. Watching the two leave, Li Luochen breathed a sigh of relief. Indeed, being polite was useful; it's never a bad thing to be courteous.
"Alright kid, let's go inside. Taking this pill will grant you immunity to the poisonous miasma."
Dugu Bo opened a small bottle and poured out a pill.
After eating, Li Luochen followed Dugu Bo inside, knowing he was about to see the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire.
After entering, there was a valley. Dugu Bo held Dugu Yan with one arm and tried to grab Li Luochen with the other, but he missed.
Li Luochen unfolded his external soul bone, the Dragon Wings, and used the Dragon Wings skill to fly.
"External soul bone? You have something like that, kid? Too bad it's completely fused."
And so the three of them went down.
Below was a hot spring. The hot spring wasn't large, but it was divided into two oval pools, the water of which was surprisingly different colors: milky white and vermilion. Even more remarkably, although they were within the same pool, they were clearly separated, never encroaching on each other and always remaining on their own side.
The billowing steam was generated between the two hot springs, rising continuously until it slowly dissipated at the mountain pass.
Li Luochen was deeply shocked by what he saw. It was completely different from what he had seen in the anime and novels. The Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye was truly awe-inspiring.
"The Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire! The real Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire! Senior Dugu, it seems you can be saved!"
Li Luochen regained his composure and looked at Dugu Bo, saying...
"The Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire? What's that?"
Dugu Bo was puzzled that he had possessed this treasure land for over a decade, yet he still didn't know its name.
"One of the world's three great treasure troves, the Eye of Ice and Fire, is the richest place in terms of natural treasures. You can see there are quite a few heaven-defying medicinal herbs here."
Li Luochen said excitedly, "This is one of Tang San's cheat codes! It's the foundation for the Seven Devils to become gods!"
"So, there are medicinal herbs here that can cure us, grandfather and grandson?"
Dugu Bo understood this time, and Dugu Yan's eyes were also filled with hope.
"But I don't know many kinds, so I can only suppress them. I need to think carefully about what to do."
Li Luochen came to his senses and said. He didn't recognize any immortal herbs. To be precise, he only recognized a few. The most obvious ones were the Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass and the Fiery Apricot, the large purple chrysanthemum of the Strange Treasure Sky Chrysanthemum, and the Fragrant Silk Immortal Herb.
He recognized only these few plants; he not only didn't recognize the other medicinal herbs, but he also didn't know how to consume them.
Dugu Bo led Li Luochen and Dugu Yan to the thatched hut he had built. It was far from the Ice and Fire Spring, so they would not be affected.
"Senior, I have thought of a method. Could you please try it? It's about the two herbs next to the spring. They are the Fiery Apricot and the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass, which are divine herbs that can cure fire poison and cold poison respectively."
"Taking these two together and then jumping into the spring will make you immune to all poisons, but I don't recommend you take it."
Why?
"Because poison is your skill, Your Majesty, all your strength comes from poison. Your deadly poison is a deterrent, which makes no one dare to truly provoke you. Because you can defeat them until they are reduced to only Title Douluo." Li Luochen's words made Dugu Bo secretly happy. Indeed, Dugu Bo's strength all came from poison. He could not defeat most Title Douluo of the same level, but he could defeat them until they were reduced to only Title Douluo.
"Go on."
Dugu Bo gestured for Li Luochen to continue.
"That means I should take these two immortal herbs and use my blood as a medicinal guide. Senior Dugu should have some pills to suppress the toxins, which can be fused with my blood. But that's only one of them."
Secondly, the reason you are poisoned is due to the inherent characteristics of your Beast Martial Souls; the poison returns to the body itself. Vipers are immune to poison because they have venom sacs, and you need something similar to a venom sac.
As soon as Li Luochen spoke, Dugu Bo, that old fox, immediately knew what it meant.
"Soul bone?"
"That's right, it's a soul bone, preferably a ten-thousand-year soul bone, and I suggest an arm bone, because you can force the poison into the soul bone. Soul bones have a limited capacity, unless a one-hundred-thousand-year soul bone is powerful enough, or an external soul bone can evolve."
The arm bone is still safe; the skull and torso bones are too important to protect. If the poison in the soul bone gets out of control, it will definitely kill you.
Li Luochen's words made Dugu Bo's eyes light up, but then dimmed again. He did have a soul bone, and it was the rarest kind—the Medusa skull, about 50,000 years old, which he got as a drop from his eighth soul ring. A top-grade soul bone, but unusable.
"Senior, let's eat the immortal herb first to suppress the poison in your body, otherwise it will be difficult for you to hunt for the soul bone."
Li Luochen's words made Dugu Bo make up his mind. At least now there was a possibility of contact with the poison. It was just two soul bones, which he could still get his hands on.
"Senior, the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass must be removed with an iron knife, and the Fiery Apricot Blossom must be removed with jade. Both must be swallowed within ten seconds of being harvested."
Li Luochen told Dugu Bo how to pick and swallow the fruit, and Dugu Bo was fast enough to finish within ten seconds.
Li Luochen took off his storage soul tool and shirt, and prepared his pants, which he would need to wear after completing the Ice and Fire Refining Golden Body.
In an instant, Dugu Bo plucked two immortal herbs and used his soul power to send them to Li Luochen. Li Luochen swallowed them without hesitation.
Within seconds of consuming it, Li Luochen was covered by a layer of icy blue, followed by a red aura. Amidst these two extreme auras, Li Luochen could only control a portion of his consciousness, allowing himself to fall into the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire to temper his body.
Dugu Yan felt a pang in her heart as she looked at Li Luochen. Not long ago, they were at odds, but now he had indeed saved her family's life, risking his own safety to do so.
Meanwhile, Li Luochen, who was in the spring water, was feeling hot and cold intermittently.
Although tempering one's body in the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire is extremely painful, the benefits to one's health are immense if one can persevere. Once one persists, one's body will become as impervious to water and fire, and immune to all poisons, just like the Yin-Yang Well itself.
Li Luochen guessed that the Ice and Fire Refining Golden Body could also evolve the Martial Soul. The Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye here was the place where the Water and Fire Dragon Kings fell, and the surrounding dragon energy was very abundant. The natural treasures here were more or less covered with dragon attributes.
The Dragon Pattern Staff was perfect for him. Li Luochen believed that this martial soul evolution would definitely evolve into a top-tier martial soul, no less than the Seven Kill Sword and the Clear Sky Hammer.
They soaked for half a day, and Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan on the shore saw no movement. They were also extremely anxious, as this was their family's hope for detoxification.
Before long, something unusual happened to the spring water, and Dugu Yan and Dugu Bo looked closely.
