Douluo's Demon Blade Thousand Blades and the Original Martial Soul

Chapter 50 The Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire

Lin Yizhang knew that the place Dugu Bo mentioned was the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye, and that this was the treasure land he wanted to go to.

So he said to Dugu Bo, "Grandpa, may I go and take a look at that treasure land you mentioned first? I'm not afraid of the poisonous herbs you mentioned, because I have systematically studied herbal knowledge and can identify most of them."

"And as I mentioned before, my main martial soul can undergo a second awakening. Perhaps the harsh environment you described will provide my main martial soul with strong external stimulation, allowing it to awaken a second time."

Dugu Bo said, "Oh right, I almost forgot you said your original martial soul can be transformed twice. Tomorrow, after I buy the medicine cauldron for you, I'll take you to my medicine shop to take a look."

I'll keep an eye out for any records about the second awakening of a martial soul. I've never heard of a martial soul awakening a second time, but I believe that since you've mentioned it, there must be some basis for it.”

Lin Yizhang thought to himself, "I can say that there is indeed evidence that a martial soul can awaken a second time. Tang San's Blue Silver Grass awakened into the Blue Silver Emperor a second time, and the fact that the original martial soul can awaken a second time after thousands or tens of thousands of years is evidence of this. But I can't explain this to you."

Lin Yizhang thought to himself, but said directly, "Okay, I'll go and chat with Yan Yan today and tomorrow, and we'll go to your herbal medicine shop the day after tomorrow."

After chatting with Dugu Bo, Lin Yizhang went to chat with Dugu Yan... about important matters in life.

When Dugu Yan saw Lin Yizhang, her first reaction was the same as Ye Lingling's: she happily rushed into Lin Yizhang's arms.

After Lin Yizhang's smooth-talking and teasing, Dugu Yan collapsed into his arms, feeling limp and weak.

Lin Yizhang looked at the alluring Dugu Yan in his arms, picked her up in a princess carry, and carried her directly to the soft bed in her boudoir. Then he began to discuss important matters of life with her.

On the third day, after parting ways with Dugu Yan, Lin Yizhang went to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye with Dugu Bo.

A few hours later, Lin Yizhang, led by Dugu Bo, arrived at a mountaintop deep in the Sunset Forest.

Upon arriving here, Lin Yizhang was immediately drawn to the terrain before him, which was an inverted cone-shaped valley.

The mountaintop where Lin Yizhang and Dugu Bo were located was on the edge of this valley. Thick, humid heat rose from the valley, carrying a distinctive sulfurous smell.

Lin Yizhang knew that the sulfur smell was coming from the fire spring around the Yin-Yang Well, because the fire spring was similar to a hot spring, except that the fire spring below was extremely hot and also had a strong fire poison.

Dugu Bo said, "My medicinal herb is down below. There is a strange spring where ice and fire coexist. There is violent ice and fire energy near the spring. You should be mentally prepared and protect yourself with your soul power. I will take you down now."

After saying that, Dugu Bo picked up Lin Yizhang and flew down.

Upon reaching the foot of the valley, Lin Yizhang was immediately captivated by the sight before him. He thought to himself that even though he was mentally prepared, he still couldn't help but be drawn to the view.

In the valley before us lies a pool of water, an oval-shaped pond, the water of which is milky white and vermilion.

Strangely, although the two different colored waters are within the same pool, they are clearly separated, never interfering with each other and always remaining on their own side. At the same time, the pool constantly produces water vapor, which rises continuously until it slowly dissipates at the mountain pass.

Now that they had finally arrived at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, a treasure trove of medicinal herbs, Lin Yizhang was quite excited.

Lin Yizhang turned to Dugu Bo and said, "This is truly a treasure land, Grandpa. Do you know what this treasure land, formed by this pool of ice and fire spring water, is called?"

Before Dugu Bo could speak, Lin Yizhang continued, "This is the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire! It's a treasure trove of medicinal herbs! The herbs that can survive here are no ordinary plants. Ordinary herbs can't withstand the onslaught of this violent ice and fire energy!"

Grandpa, last time you said you could find the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass and the Fiery Apricot Vegetable, I suppose you were referring to those that grow from here.

Seeing Lin Yizhang's excited expression, Dugu Bo said after listening to Lin Yizhang's words, "That's right, I saw those two herbs you mentioned here before. Look, aren't they those two?"

Lin Yizhang looked in that direction and saw a white herb at the center of the Frosty Yin Spring. Its top resembled a large, octagonal white flower, with tiny, shimmering stamens in the center like ice crystals – this was the Eight-Pointed Ice Grass. At the center of the Blazing Yang Spring, he saw a fiery red herb – the Fiery Apricot Delicate Vegetable.

Lin Yizhang turned to look at Dugu Bo and nodded, saying, "That's right, it's them."

Dugu Bo said, "What, little monster, do you recognize this place? I just heard you call it the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye; the name does suit this place quite well."

Lin Yizhang said, "I have seen a description of this treasure land in the herbal medicine book of the Nine Heart Begonia family. It records that the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye is a natural treasure trove of herbs. Herbs growing here can grow hundreds or thousands of times faster than those living outside. Moreover, the herbs that can grow here are not ordinary herbs. The medicinal properties of these herbs are far beyond those of ordinary herbs. In addition, there may even be legendary immortal herbs growing here."

"Immortal herb? What is this?" Dugu Bo asked in confusion.

Lin Yizhang explained, "Immortal herbs, as the name suggests, are the finest among the finest medicinal herbs. Consuming any one of these immortal herbs can transform one's very being. As long as one consumes an immortal herb that suits them, the soul master who consumes it will definitely experience a significant increase in soul power, and this increase will be completely free of side effects. The Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass and the Fiery Apricot Delicate Vegetable belong to the category of immortal herbs."

Dugu Bo said, "Are the immortal herbs really that magical? When I saw some unfamiliar herbs around here before, I felt that they were extraordinary."

I know that I should not easily approach or touch unfamiliar herbs, because many herbs are highly poisonous. Therefore, I did not pick any of the herbs I did not recognize in the vicinity.

Since you are so knowledgeable about herbs, then see if there are any more of the miraculous herbs you mentioned nearby.

Lin Yizhang nodded and said, "Okay, Grandpa. Looking around, this valley is full of medicinal herbs. But the immortal herbs should all be growing near that spring. Let's start looking from there."
