Douluo Continent: The original Yu Xiaogang brutally defeats Tang San at the start.

Under Lin Yuan's "guidance," Dugu Bo had no more doubts and led him all the way to the deepest part of Sunset Forest.

The deeper they went, the denser the poisonous miasma became. Eventually, it became so dark that they could barely see their own hands, and the air was filled with terrifying poisonous gas capable of instantly killing a Soul King.

If an ordinary Soul Master were to enter this place, he would probably turn into a pool of foul-smelling pus within ten minutes.

But for Dugu Bo, who was a Poison Douluo, these poisonous miasmas were like his own backyard, and he was completely at ease in them.

Lin Yuan had secretly taken a high-grade antidote pill produced by the system before setting off, so he was able to move freely in the poisonous fog without getting hurt.

This made Dugu Bo think even more highly of Lin Yuan's "strength" and "mystery," and his trust in Lin Yuan increased even more.

Finally, the two stopped in front of an inconspicuous mountain wall covered with countless huge vines.

Dugu Bo quickly formed a series of complex hand seals, let out a low shout, and his soul power surged. The mountain wall in front of him actually made a muffled "rumbling" sound and slowly cracked open to both sides, revealing a deep and dark cave entrance.

"Young man, please come in. My secluded dwelling is located deep within this mountain."

Dugu Bo turned to the side and gestured for him to enter.

Lin Yuan nodded and calmly followed Dugu Bo inside.

After passing through a long, sloping passageway, the view suddenly opens up!

Even though Lin Yuan had already been mentally prepared for the wonders of the Yin-Yang Well through the system's description, he was still deeply shocked when he saw this magnificent spectacle that defied the laws of nature!

This is a huge valley, like a giant valley left behind by an ancient volcanic eruption.

In the very center of the valley is a unique spring, which is divided into two distinct colors by a perfect S-shaped curve.

On one side was a milky white, scorching hot like magma, constantly emitting billowing steam that scorched and distorted the air above; on the other side was an extremely cold, crimson red, with a layer of frost that would never melt on the surface of the water.

Two extreme energies reached a strange and perfect balance in this small spring.

Around the spring, on this land where no life should exist, all kinds of exotic flowers and plants of different shapes and sizes grow, radiating an alluring and precious light!

The eight-cornered ice grass is sculpted like ice crystals!

Like a blazing fire, the apricot blossoms are delicate and beautiful!

Dewdrops flowed on the petals, like the longing gaze that could see through people's hearts!

The elegant and luxurious Tulip, resembling a celestial peony, is truly magnificent!

Each one is a legendary celestial herb, enough to cause all the powerful figures in the entire Soul Master world to fight madly for it!

"What a treasure trove! Tang San, oh Tang San, you've truly given me an incredible gift!"

Lin Yuan was overjoyed and so excited that he almost trembled, but he maintained the composure of a scholar and his admiration for the wonders of nature.

Dugu Bo was clearly very satisfied with Lin Yuan's composure, believing he had seen the world. Pointing to the medicinal garden, which resembled a mythical fairyland, he proudly introduced it:

"This is the secluded place I was talking about. These herbs have a peculiar appearance and contain astonishing energy, but I, Old Poison Master, am a rough man. I only know that most of them are extremely poisonous, and I don't recognize many of them. Young brother, you have helped me a lot this time. As a reward, you can choose one or two herbs that you can use from here."

In his view, giving up a herb that even he, a titled Douluo, couldn't identify was already a very generous reward.

However, he didn't know how ridiculous his words sounded to Lin Yuan.

One or two plants?

Sorry, I want them all!

Lin Yuan wore an expression of "surprise" as he slowly walked to a herb that resembled a daffodil, with translucent petals and a faint fragrance. He gently stroked its leaves and said in an admiring tone, "Senior, you are too modest. It's not that you don't recognize a few plants; you clearly possess a treasure trove that would make even the gods take notice, yet you are unaware of it!"

"Oh? What do you mean?"

Dugu Bo immediately became interested.

"Take this plant as an example."

Lin Yuan pointed to the daffodil, "It's called 'Qiluo Tulip,' a top-grade celestial plant. Consuming it allows one to absorb the essence of heaven and earth, the radiance of the sun and moon, possessing miraculous effects of strengthening the body's foundation, nourishing vital energy, and removing impurities. More importantly, its fragrance is the nemesis of all plant-type martial souls, but if someone is destined to obtain it, it can also become an unparalleled catalyst for the evolution of all plant-type martial souls!"

Then, Lin Yuan strolled over to the octagonal ice plant:

"This item is called 'Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass,' an extremely cold celestial herb that grows near extremely cold springs and absorbs the most yin and cold energy. Without a way to counteract it, touching it will result in death, but if one can successfully consume it, it can transform one's body and make one immune to all cold."

He then pointed to the other side, where a celestial apricot tree burned like flames: "That is the 'Blazing Apricot,' which is mutually reinforcing and restraining with the Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass. It is an extremely hot celestial product that can forge a fire-immune body that is impervious to all fires."

Lin Yuan strolled slowly through the herb garden as if he knew it like the back of his hand, explaining in detail the name, effects, medicinal properties, and even the best way to take each immortal herb around the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, as well as the possible side effects.

Dugu Bo, standing to the side, was completely dumbfounded, his mind blank!

He had guarded this treasure land for decades, always thinking that these were just some strangely shaped poisonous plants, which he would occasionally use to fight poison with poison. Little did he know that each one of them was a legendary, rare and precious plant!

The look in his eyes as he looked at Lin Yuan had changed from initial shock and trust to utter awe and worship!

Who exactly is this young man?

Just how much is in his head?

How could they know everything?!

This is practically a walking encyclopedia of martial spirit theory!

"Senior, these rare medicinal herbs have different medicinal properties, and some even counteract each other. If you pick and take them indiscriminately, not only will they be ineffective, but you may also be harmed by their powerful medicinal effects and die on the spot."

Lin Yuan offered a "kind" reminder, his tone full of professionalism.

"Then... what should we do?"

Dugu Bo was completely at a loss, like a student humbly seeking advice, and completely abandoned the airs of a Title Douluo.

Lin Yuan smiled slightly and said, "How about this? I'll first help you categorize these herbs according to their properties and effects, and then properly preserve them using special methods to prevent the loss of their medicinal properties. After that, we'll formulate a detailed treatment plan based on your constitution and the characteristics of your Azure Scale Serpent Emperor Martial Soul. What do you think?"

"Alright, alright! That's settled then! I'll do whatever you say, young man!"

Without a second thought, Dugu Bo immediately agreed.

He was completely impressed by Lin Yuan's vast and profound knowledge, and had not a single doubt in his heart.

Lin Yuan laughed wildly in his heart.

This is exactly the effect he wanted!

So, in front of Dugu Bo, he began to "help" pick herbs.

On the surface, he was meticulously classifying and studying the items, his movements cautious, as if he were handling rare treasures.

In fact, every single celestial plant he picked was silently and effortlessly stored in the system's storage space the moment it touched his palm.

Dugu Bo was still helping out from the side, overjoyed that he had found a savior to solve his family's chronic problems. Little did he know that his entire treasure trove was being emptied out bit by bit right in front of him by Lin Yuan.
