Douluo Continent: Reborn as Qin Ming, starting by joining the Spirit Hall

Chapter 98 The Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire

Five hours later.

The bright moon hangs high in the sky, and the stars shine brightly.

Two figures, one in gold and one in green, streaked across the night sky and finally landed in an inverted cone-shaped ravine.

"Your Highness, this is my villa."

The medicinal herb garden I mentioned is down below.

Listening to Dugu Bo's introduction, Qin Ming looked down.

At this moment, thick, hot air was constantly rising from the valley.

A distinctive sulfurous odor filled Qin Ming's nostrils.

Qin Ming knew in his heart that the greatest opportunity in the entire Douluo Continent was right in front of him.

Looking around, Qin Ming couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

"Fortunately, I didn't choose the haphazard, exhaustive approach back then; I was a bit too simplistic in my thinking."

Sunset Forest is quite large, and it is home to many soul beasts with cultivation levels of over ten thousand years.

At the same time, there are far too many similar terrains to this place.

Although the poison array can serve as a basis for judgment, locating this place will still be a considerable undertaking.

Just as Qin Ming was pondering, Dugu Bo spoke up again to remind him.

"Your Highness, I still have to remind you of something."

My villa is filled with violent spiritual energy. Your cultivation level is still low, so you probably can't stay here for too long.

Staying here for too long could potentially leave permanent health problems.

As he spoke, Dugu Bo reached out and rubbed his temples.

On the way here, Dugu Bo had already explained the things to be aware of many times.

The reason Dugu Bo repeatedly reminded Qin Ming was not only because he was worried that something might really happen to Qin Ming.

He was still troubled by the matter between Yue Guan and Gui Mei.

When Qin Ming said he wanted to go to Sunset Forest with him alone, both Yue Guan and Gui Mei disagreed.

He also declared that he would accompany Qin Ming to protect his safety.

It wasn't until later, after Qin Ming firmly expressed his opinion, that Yue Guan and the other person temporarily agreed to Qin Ming's request.

However, judging from their posture, Dugu Bo knew that if they didn't see Qin Ming before tomorrow...

The two of them will surely venture deep into the Sunset Forest, conducting a thorough search...

At this moment, Qin Ming also came to his senses.

Looking at Dugu Bo in front of him, Qin Ming guessed what the other party was thinking.

Realizing the problem, Qin Ming sighed inwardly.

"Elder Yueguan, Elder Guimei, Bishop Kelin, I'm so sorry this time."

Qin Ming did not distrust Yue Guan and the others, nor was he unwilling to give the Spirit Hall members the immortal herbs.

However, because of Bibi Dong's presence, Qin Ming wanted to postpone this time as much as possible.

At the same time, Qin Ming also wanted to firmly grasp the right to distribute the immortal herbs in his own hands.

Qin Ming did not want Yue Guan and the others to know the exact number of immortal herbs.

It was for this purpose that Qin Ming had no choice but to temporarily leave Yue Guan and the others behind and come here with Dugu Bo to search for them.

While pondering, Qin Ming looked at Dugu Bo and said.

"Elder Dugu Bo, let's go down first."

I know I won't stay too long.

As he spoke, countless golden flames emanated from Qin Ming's body, transforming into a crimson-gold robe. At the same time, the Fiery Wolf Martial Soul appeared behind Qin Ming.

As the second spirit ring lit up, two golden vertical lines appeared on Qin Ming's face.

After activating all his status-based soul skills, Qin Ming followed behind Dugu Bo, flying deeper into the mountain valley...

Standing in mid-air, Qin Ming had a complete view of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye.

Below the valley, countless crystals stand at the very center of the valley.

There is a special hot spring. The hot spring area is not large, but it is divided into two parts.

In the oval-shaped pool, the hot spring water was surprisingly blue-white and vermilion.

What's even more peculiar is that, although they are in the same pool, they are clearly separated, never encroaching on each other, and always staying on their own side.

The billowing steam originates from the area between the two hot springs, rising continuously until it slowly dissipates at the mountain pass.

Around the spring, countless exotic plants sway gracefully.

Looking at the scene before him, Qin Ming couldn't help but sigh.

"It is truly a blessed land."

After saying that, Qin Ming and Dugu Bo slowly landed on the ground.

A flicker of barely suppressed excitement flashed in Qin Ming's eyes.

At a cursory glance, there are probably no fewer than twenty immortal herbs in this Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire...

Qin Ming had now confirmed that the immortal herbs consumed by Lan Yuxuan and the others in the original story were not transplanted by the Tang Clan in later generations, but rather were herbs that originally grew in this place.

After glancing at Dugu Bo beside him, Qin Ming fell into thought again.

Should we tell Dugu Bo about the immortal herb?

After hesitating for a while, Qin Ming decided to reveal some information to Dugu Bo.

After all, the matter of the immortal herb was no secret among the higher-ups of the Spirit Hall, and Dugu Bo would eventually realize all of this.

Qin Ming did not want his concealment today to leave any resentment between him and Dugu Bo.

However, Qin Ming did not explicitly state the effects of the immortal herb.

This was the last bit of wariness he still harbored towards Dugu Bo.

"Elder Dugu Bo, the importance of your medicine garden is beyond your imagination."

Every herb here is a rare gem, and there are quite a few even more valuable celestial herbs among them.

The value of this herb garden far exceeds the two soul bones I gave you…

At this moment, Dugu Bo was slightly stunned.

"A rare and precious herb?"

"Very precious!"

Seeing Qin Ming's serious gaze, Dugu Bo suddenly burst out laughing.

"Your Highness, no matter how important these herbs are, can they be more important than my life and my son's life?"

I know Ah Xin's health well; if you hadn't shown up, he probably wouldn't have lasted more than a few years.

I suspect it's not much better.

It is because of you that my son and I were able to escape our original fate.

As he spoke, Dugu Bo's smile widened.

"Besides, I don't know the value of these herbs."

There are many herbs here that I don't recognize.

You could have simply picked the herbs without telling me these things, but you chose to explain everything to me instead.

You have treated me with sincerity, how could I possibly be the kind of person who breaks promises?

Upon hearing Dugu Bo's statement, Qin Ming's gaze froze.

After a long while, Qin Ming shook his head, chuckled to himself, and then turned and walked away.

Under Dugu Bo's astonished gaze, Qin Ming reached out and ran his hand across the storage ring.

A sharp jade dagger and a pair of special gloves made of ice silk appeared in Qin Ming's hands.

This was something Qin Ming had prepared in advance after obtaining the Immortal Herb Catalogue.

After all, almost every herb has a unique way of being harvested and stored.

For example, the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass must be harvested using iron tools, while the Fiery Apricot Blossom needs to be harvested using jade tools...

While pondering, Qin Ming bent down and gently rotated his wrist.

Qin Ming then plucked a strangely shaped herb...
