Douluo Continent: Protector Qian Renxue, Martial Soul: Dark Demon Dragon

Chapter 36 This is the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire

Deciding to enter the psychedelic poison array, Lin Xiao waved his hand, and two barriers formed from soul power appeared, protecting the two of them from the harm of the poison array from all angles.

"Xiaoxue, let's go in. With the barrier formed by my soul power, this illusionary poison array can't harm us at all," Lin Xiao said calmly, taking Qian Renxue's hand and walking into the illusionary poison array.

"Brother Lin Xiao, judging from the effect of this illusionary poison array, it's probably to prevent outside soul beasts from entering, right? At the same time, it's also to prevent people from entering. Do you think there's anything special inside that you mentioned, Brother Lin Xiao?" Qian Renxue looked around and analyzed.

According to her observation, this poison array was not as potent as she had imagined; it only had a hallucinogenic effect. Soul beasts that entered the array would emerge from it in a daze after a short while, unharmed.

Lin Xiao nodded slowly, without denying it, and said with a smile, "The effect of this poison array is indeed as described. Whether the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well has been obtained by someone else is still unknown."

"The Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire? Brother Lin Xiao, is the place you're talking about, where you can find celestial herbs that can improve your martial soul quality, cultivation aptitude, and soul power level without any side effects, called the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire?" Qian Renxue asked.

"Of course, the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire is a spring formed from the bones of the Ice and Fire Dragon King after his death in ancient times. The area around the spring has the effect of accelerating the growth of spiritual herbs, and these spiritual herbs will be unable to develop intelligence due to the existence of the Yin-Yang Well, making it extremely valuable to Soul Masters!" Lin Xiao explained.

"Is that so? What kind of being is the Ice and Fire Dragon King? How could he transform into such a magical place after his death?!" Qian Renxue pondered.

"The Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire does exist. Whether it was transformed from the Ice and Fire Dragon King after his death is unknown," Lin Xiao said with a smile, without offering much explanation about the Ice and Fire Dragon King, even though he wasn't very familiar with him.

"So that's how it is. I hope this place isn't the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well that Brother Lin Xiao mentioned. If someone else got there first, does that mean that all the immortal herbs in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well have already been harvested by others?" Qian Renxue said calmly.

The Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye is a special place, and its importance has become very clear after Lin Xiao's explanation. If others get there first, they will not only return empty-handed, but more importantly, they will lose the immortal herbs in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye!

Lin Xiao shook his head slightly and said with a smile, "The immortal herbs in the Yin-Yang Well are extremely special. If they are not picked in a special way, they will lose their original effects. Some of them even contain highly poisonous immortal herbs. Even if someone else gets there first, we don't need to worry at all. That person will not know the effects of all the herbs or how to pick them."

Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue nodded slightly. Others might not understand, but why did her Lin Xiao brother seem to know so clearly? She realized that after so many years apart, her Lin Xiao brother seemed to be full of secrets.

Lin Xiao was still her Lin Xiao, but he had become increasingly mysterious and unpredictable, unlike when he was young.

The area covered by the poison array was ridiculously large, but they still managed to pass through the hallucinogenic poison array unharmed and arrive inside it.

"As expected, Brother Lin Xiao, we guessed right. This illusionary poison array is meant to prevent those soul beasts and people like us from entering. There are no soul beasts inside the array at all," Qian Renxue said with a smile.

"That's true." Lin Xiao smiled, without saying anything more, as long as Qian Renxue was happy.

As the two continued to explore, they eventually discovered a small canyon ahead, with only one entrance. Without hesitation, they chose to enter the canyon.

When they emerged from the canyon, Qian Renxue froze in place at the sight before her. In front of her was a spring where blue and red hues blended together, and around the spring were countless spiritual herbs radiating their unique light.

"Ice and fire coexist. Brother Lin Xiao, do you think this is the Yin-Yang Well you mentioned?" Qian Renxue asked, looking at Lin Xiao beside her.

Lin Xiao gazed at the spring where ice and fire coexisted before him, nodded slightly, and said, "That's right, this is the Yin-Yang Spring of Ice and Fire I spoke of, and all around are countless spiritual herbs, including even extraordinary immortal-grade spiritual herbs!"

Lin Xiao looked around at the spiritual herbs on the ground. He realized that he was very clear about the effects of all these spiritual herbs, and even understood which martial souls were suitable for absorbing them and what kind of effect each martial soul would get after absorbing them.

"The effects of the Hundred Remedies of Immortal Herbs obtained through the system did not disappoint me. All the spiritual herbs in front of me are like naked girls, completely exposed before me!" Lin Xiao thought to himself.

"Brother Lin Xiao, you don't seem to be surprised at all?" Qian Renxue frowned slightly and asked in confusion.

"Why should I be surprised?" Lin Xiao said with a smile.

"This place is a poison array set up by someone, which means that someone already discovered the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. Why didn't you, Brother Lin Xiao, realize this?" Qian Renxue suddenly realized, and angrily questioned, "Brother Lin Xiao, did you already know? That's why you weren't surprised at all?"

She suspected that Lin Xiao actually knew that someone had already gotten there first, but the other party did not know the specific effects of these spiritual herbs, so they were not in a hurry and did not seem very surprised to come here.

Lin Xiao slowly raised his large hand, gently stroking Qian Renxue's head, and said cheerfully, "Little Xue, you're very close to the answer~"

He was well aware that the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eyes had actually been discovered by Dugu Bo a long time ago. However, Dugu Bo did not recognize these spiritual herbs or even immortal-grade spiritual herbs; he only used the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eyes to suppress the violent toxins in his body.

Qian Renxue said angrily, "I knew it, I knew it, I knew it! Brother Lin Xiao is so mean! You clearly know everything, but you just won't say anything. Actually, Brother Lin Xiao, you already knew that the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well had already been taken over by someone else, didn't you?"

Lin Xiao smiled and nodded slightly.

"Xiaoxue, actually, when I saw the Illusion Poison Array, I was already certain that the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well had probably already been discovered by someone, but it's not accurate to say that they got there first."

"Look, all these intact spiritual herbs, including those of the highest grade, haven't been touched. This means that the Soul Master who arrived here beforehand didn't actually know the effects of these herbs," Lin Xiao said calmly.
