Douluo Continent: Blue Overlord

Chapter 9 The Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire

In the Sunset Forest, a dense and dangerous jungle, a group of four began a meticulous search.

Thanks to the maps and markers provided by Yu Tiancheng, the search efficiency is extremely high.

In two days, they had already set foot in several areas rife with poisonous miasma.

However, aside from encountering some poisonous insects and beasts, they did not find any strange places that matched the characteristics of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye, let alone any immortal herbs.

A hint of doubt crept into Yu Tiancheng's mind. Could it be that the so-called luck was at work?

Does this mean that this opportunity only recognizes one person?

Taking a deep breath, he suppressed his doubts and pointed to the last location on the map, saying, "Grandpa, Mom and Dad, let's go take another look here."

Yu Yuanzhen nodded, and the pressure of a Title Douluo emanated from his body once again, causing the soul beasts along the way to retreat in an invisible aura.

Wang Zhi gently patted his son's shoulder, conveying encouragement and trust.

Without further delay, the four headed towards the last poisonous miasma-filled area.

When he arrived at the last marker, the scene before him invigorated Yu Tiancheng.

Ahead lay a hill shrouded in a dense poisonous fog. Even standing at the foot of the outer edge, one could feel the terrifying corrosiveness and energy fluctuations contained within the fog, far exceeding any place encountered before.

"This is it!" Yu Tiancheng's eyes lit up with joy, and he said excitedly, "There's no mistake, let's go in!"

Upon hearing this, the weariness from days of travel on Yu Xiaohong and Wang Zhi's faces was instantly replaced by excitement.

Only Yu Yuanzhen stared solemnly at the churning poisonous mist, and said in a deep voice, "This poison barrier is no ordinary matter! Let's use the 'Mind Network' to investigate it first!"

Without hesitation, Yu Tiancheng and his father Wang Zhi unleashed their invisible senses, which spread out like a spider web, penetrating deep into the poisonous fog to perceive any bioelectrical signals present.

A moment later, Wang Zhi reported, "Dad, we haven't found any signs of soul beasts or humans."

Yu Yuanzhen nodded in relief. He possessed the cultivation of a Title Douluo, the attribute of lightning, and was familiar with the operation of the Mind Network.

In such circumstances, the detection of the mental network can only be perceived when one is focused.

Therefore, he concluded that unless one is a titled Douluo of the mental type, ordinary people would have no idea that they had been probed.

"Okay, that's good." Yu Yuanzhen said, using his soul power to create a barrier, then added, "Come closer, follow me!"

The group gathered as instructed, and under Yu Yuanzhen's protection, they climbed up the steep mountainside.

The group was quite strong, and they traversed the rugged mountain path as if it were flat ground. Before long, they reached the top of the mountain.

Standing atop the mountain, Yu Tiancheng looked down at the scene before him.

A huge, cone-shaped valley came into view, with hot air rising from the bottom, carrying a pungent smell of sulfur.

"Haha, found it! The treasure land is right below!" Yu Tiancheng's voice was full of certainty.

Without further hesitation, everyone jumped down the ravine.

Yu Yuanzhen carried Yu Tiancheng down from the sky, while Yu Xiaohong and Wang Zhi lightly touched the mountain wall for leverage, landing steadily with agile movements.

The spectacular scenery at the bottom of the valley instantly came into view.

Before me was an oval-shaped hot spring, and the water was of two colors: milky white and vermilion.

What's even more peculiar is that, although they are in the same pool, they are clearly separated and do not infringe upon each other.

Seeing the astonished expressions on his grandfather's and parents' faces, Yu Tiancheng began to speak at the opportune moment:

"This place is called the Eye of Ice and Fire. This unique spring, with two springs emerging from one, and the two opposing forces counteracting each other, is a truly blessed land!"

Gazing at the strange spring water, Yu Xiaohong couldn't help but speculate, "Could it be... that soaking in this hot spring is greatly beneficial to cultivation?"

As she spoke, she subconsciously reached out her hand, wanting to touch the vermilion spring water.

"No!" Yu Tiancheng hurriedly stopped him, his tone serious. "The extreme heat and cold energy contained in this spring is incredibly domineering. Once it enters the human body, it will transform into fire poison and ice poison that are difficult to expel!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaohong withdrew her hand as if she had been electrocuted, still feeling lingering fear.

Yu Yuanzhen also focused his attention and sensed it, saying in a deep voice, "That's right, I can clearly feel the convergence and turbulence of two extreme energies here."

An ordinary person who stays here for too long is likely to explode and die!

After they finished speaking, the three of them focused their gazes on Yu Tiancheng, waiting for him to reveal the true opportunity of this place.

Seeing this, Yu Tiancheng didn't keep them in suspense any longer and pointed directly, saying:

"The greatest advantage of this location is that it can shorten the growth cycle of rare medicinal plants by more than 10 times!"

The three looked in the direction he pointed and saw strange plants of various shapes and colors growing on the mountain walls and in the crevices of the rocks around the hot spring.

Although they didn't recognize most of them, the few they could barely make out were enough to make their hearts race and their breathing quicken.

"This is top-grade cordyceps?! It's so big?!" Yu Yuanzhen exclaimed in astonishment as he looked at the precious medicinal herb before him. "It's more than twice the size of the one treasured in our family treasury!"

"Grandpa, there's no need to be surprised," Yu Tiancheng said with a slight smile, a hint of pride in his expression.

"This cordyceps is probably not even considered mid-grade here! The truly precious immortal herb is..."

Before the words were even finished, a sudden change occurred!

Wang Zhi, who had been on high alert, suddenly shielded Yu Tiancheng behind him and shouted a warning: "Dad! Someone's approaching!...They're moving very fast, and their strength is probably not weak!"

Yu Yuanzhen's soul power surged instantly, and his senses were fully activated. Sure enough, he detected an incomparably sharp aura that had already reached the mountaintop.

Yu Tiancheng also clicked his tongue inwardly at this moment. He had originally thought that Dugu Bo was not there.

I planned to collect all the magical herbs first, but now it seems things aren't that simple.

His eyes were sharp as lightning; he quickly scanned the area and soon locked onto a large, pale pink flower.

The large flower has pale purple stamens, no leaves, a stem three feet long, and extremely large flowers, with a diameter of about a foot. Each petal looks as clear and translucent as crystal.

Centered on this large flower, it is surrounded by a faint light shield, which is about 10 meters in diameter.

Yu Tiancheng had already made a judgment in his mind; it seemed that this large flower was the "Fragrant and Exquisite Immortal Item".

"Grandpa, Mom and Dad, the person coming might be Poison Douluo Dugu Bo!" Yu Tiancheng said solemnly, pointing at the Fragrant Silk Immortal Item.

"That big flower is called the Fragrant Fairy Flower. Within its range of effects, no poison can affect it. It is the bane of all poisons!"

Grandpa, we're safe from the poison there. You can negotiate with Dugu Bo without worry!

"How did you know it was...?" Yu Yuanzhen was very puzzled and was about to ask further when he was interrupted.

At this moment, a powerful pressure came from above, revealing the aura of a Title Douluo.

Clearly, the other party had already discovered the four of them, so Yu Yuanzhen had no choice but to give up asking questions.

His eyes narrowed, and the powerful and domineering thunderous force within his body erupted, unleashing an even stronger and fierce pressure that surged into the sky, directly confronting it!

Soon, a figure dressed in a simple gray robe appeared.

His beard and hair were dark green, and his eyes were a deep, emerald green. He exuded a chilling poisonous aura.

It was none other than the Poison Douluo, Dugu Bo, who was unparalleled in the world for his poison!

"Dugu Bo!"

Yu Yuanzhen recognized Dugu Bo instantly, and his brows furrowed.

This old poison master's one-on-one strength is undoubtedly at the bottom among titled Douluo.

However, the opponent possesses the ability to turn a region into a dead zone.

He now only hopes that the strange flower his grandson mentioned truly has the effect of being immune to toxins.

"Old Dragon? It's you!" Dugu Bo was also startled when he saw Yu Yuanzhen, and his face was filled with solemnity.

However, upon seeing that he had brought his juniors with him, including a toddler of a few years old, the seriousness on his face vanished, replaced by a cold smile.

He concluded that they probably weren't there to cause him trouble, otherwise they wouldn't have brought a junior along; they must have just wandered into this place by mistake.

"Old Long, you've trespassed into my pharmacy. I'm letting it slide, but get out of here now!"
