Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul is the Mysterious Heavy Ruler

Chapter 17 The Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire

An hour later.

"Kid, you're awake, stop pretending and get up to come inside with me."

Upon hearing Dugu Bo's words, Xiao Yi felt he could no longer pretend. He got up and looked around, discovering that they were within the Sunset Forest area.

Sunset Forest, Star Dou Great Forest, and the Far North are collectively known as the three major gathering places for soul beasts. However, there are not as many kinds of soul beasts as in Star Dou Great Forest. The Far North is located in an environment with extremely low temperatures all year round, and it is generally ice attribute soul masters who go to the Far North to hunt for soul rings.

The distance between Heaven Dou City and Sunset Forest is very short. Sunset Forest can be said to be the place where Soul Masters hunt Soul Beasts in most cities around Heaven Dou City.

Because Dugu Bo was a Title Douluo, no soul beast dared to provoke them.

After walking for a while, they arrived at their destination, a hill covered in a thick, dark green poisonous fog.

It looked extremely dangerous; even from a short distance away from the poisonous fog, one could still smell the pungent, fishy odor permeating the air.

It seems this must be the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye, one of the three great treasure lands.

The poison array set up by Dugu Bo enveloped the entire Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye with poisonous mist. Apart from a few poisonous plants that could grow there, any human or soul beast that accidentally wandered into it would be in mortal danger.

The Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well is an extremely important place throughout the Douluo Continent. The medicinal herbs that grow there can be said to be the foundation for the Shrek Seven Devils to become gods.

After thinking for a moment, Xiao Yi looked up at Dugu Bo and tentatively asked, "Senior, have we arrived?"

Dugu Bo nodded, then took out a small bottle, poured out a pill, and handed it to Xiao Yi, saying, "Boy, this is a pill I made. It can make you immune to the poisonous fog."

Xiao Yi took the pill and swallowed it without saying a word.

Seeing Xiao Yi so decisively swallow the pill, Dugu Bo asked, "Boy, aren't you afraid I gave you poison?"

"If you wanted to harm me, you would have killed me when you were in my house, but you didn't, which means you're not that bad," Xiao Yi explained.

Dugu Bo fell silent after hearing Xiao Yi's words. He had a bad reputation in the outside world, but he never expected to be persuaded by a young man.

"Alright, let's go in." Dugu Bo said to Xiao Yi, then ignored Xiao Yi and went downstairs by himself.

Xiao Yi knew that Dugu Bo was testing him, so he activated his Golden Feather Sword Wings and flew downwards.

Upon hearing the voice, Dugu Bo turned around and saw Xiao Yi. Then, his gaze settled on the golden feather sword wings.

"External soul bone? It's a pity it's completely fused, otherwise I really wanted to take it. Even if I couldn't use it myself, I could give it to Yan Yan." Dugu Bo's first reaction upon seeing the soul bone was to take it. There was no other reason than that external soul bones were too precious. However, seeing that Xiao Yi had completely fused with it, he gave up on the idea.

After flying for a while, Dugu Bo stopped, and Xiao Yi also stopped.

Before your eyes lies a hot spring. The spring isn't large, but it's divided into two oval pools, each containing water that is a striking contrast: one milky white, the other crimson. Even more remarkably, although they are within the same pool, they are distinctly separate, never encroaching on each other and always remaining on their own side.

The billowing steam was generated between the two hot springs, rising continuously until it slowly dissipated at the mountain pass.

Xiao Yi was deeply shocked by what he saw. It was completely different from what he had seen in the anime and novels. The Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye was truly awe-inspiring.

"The Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire! The real Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire! Senior Dugu, it seems you can be saved!"

Xiao Yi regained his composure and looked at Dugu Bo.

"The Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire? What's that?"

Dugu Bo was puzzled that he had possessed this treasure land for over a decade, yet he still didn't know its name.

"One of the world's three great treasure troves, the Eye of Ice and Fire, is the richest place in terms of natural treasures. You can see there are quite a few heaven-defying medicinal herbs here."

Xiao Yi excitedly told Dugu Bo that Tang San's greatest opportunity was the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well and the Eight Spider Lances, and that the others around him were able to become gods because of the herbs in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. However, Xiao Yi's arrival also meant that the immortal herbs were no longer available to them.

After all, opportunities don't have anyone's name on them; whoever gets them first gets them.

During his years of training, he collected all the books on herbs on the continent. It can be said that Xiao Yi went to great lengths for the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye.

"So, there are medicinal herbs here that can cure me?" Dugu Bo's eyes lit up as he asked Xiao Yi.

"I'm not sure, I don't know if there are any medicinal herbs suitable for you and your granddaughter inside," Xiao Yi said to Dugu Bo, shaking his head.

After speaking, Xiao Yi and Dugu Bo walked inside.

The Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye contains a wide variety of medicinal herbs, with poisonous herbs and other herbs evenly distributed. The outermost layer contains herbs such as cordyceps and cinnabar lotus, which may be expensive outside, but are not considered valuable inside the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye.

As time passed, Xiao Yi found all the immortal items recorded in the original work, including Narcissus Jade Skin and Bone, Extraordinary Chrysanthemum, Snow-white Swan Kiss, Dewdrop Through Autumn Water, Eight-Petaled Immortal Orchid, Qiluo Tulip, Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower, the Love-Sick Heartbreak Red known as the King of Flowers, the Fragrant Qiluo Immortal Item, the Eight-Cornered Mysterious Ice Grass and the Fiery Apricot in the center, as well as two unrecorded Earth Dragon Golden Melon, the Primordial Immortal Herb, the Starry Spirit Pearl, and the Ink Jade Divine Bamboo.

Xiao Yi explained the effects of their medicine to Dugu Bo one by one.

"So, there are herbs here that can solve the problems for me and my granddaughter?" A glimmer of hope appeared in Dugu Bo's eyes.

"Yes, but you've been poisoned for too long. Your granddaughter was contaminated with the toxin from birth, so the first thing to do is to take the central Eight-Star Ice Grass and the Fiery Apricot Delicate Vegetable. However, I do not recommend you use this method."

Why?

"Because poison is your skill, all your strength comes from poison, your deadly poison is a deterrent, which makes no one dare to really provoke you. Because you can beat them down to only Title Douluo. And the two poisons you ingest will be neutralized." Xiao Yi, now confident, became more assertive.

Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo's expression shifted, and after a moment's thought, he abandoned the idea.

"What about the second one?"

"The second method is for me to take these two herbs and then use my blood to prepare the medicine. You are poisoned because of the inherent characteristics of the Beast Martial Soul, which means the poison is absorbed by the body. Poisonous snakes are not afraid of poison because they have venom sacs, but you are a human, not a snake, so you need something like a venom sac. You need to find something similar to a venom sac to transfer the toxins."

"You mean the soul bone?" Dugu Bo asked.

"That's right, it's a soul bone, and preferably one of the four limb bones, and it has to be over ten thousand years old, because the capacity of a soul bone is limited, unless it's an external soul bone, because external soul bones can evolve."
