Douluo Continent Villain Simulator: Persecuting Qian Renxue at the Start

Chapter 33 The Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire

Su Cheng was initially puzzled as to why, even though he had marked the central area of ​​Sunset Forest and the mountains as landmarks for his subordinates, they still couldn't find the place after several years.

When he arrived, he realized that he had oversimplified things.

Although he had read many books over the years, he realized that what he learned from books was ultimately superficial. The actual situation in these forests teeming with spirit beasts was far more complex than he had imagined.

Five hundred meters is certainly not short, but in the vast Sunset Forest, hills of this height are commonplace.

A thorough search of this area would require a considerable amount of effort.

After all, this place is hardly safe for ordinary soul masters. High-age soul beasts and dangerous plants could pose a deadly threat.

"It seems I'll have to visit the Soul Hunting Forest near Notting City again to scout it out beforehand. Otherwise, it will be quite difficult to find suitable soul beasts to attach the first two soul rings when I return to the real world."

Su Cheng thought to himself.

"Mr. Su, this is it." Dugu Bo said, standing at the foot of the mountain and looking at the hill in front of him.

Immediately, the two of them quickly climbed to the top of the mountain, one after the other.

Standing beside the cliff, an inverted cone-shaped valley appeared before Su Cheng, thick heat rising from it, carrying a distinctive sulfurous smell.

There is clearly another hot spring below.

Dugu Bo looked at Su Cheng and said, "I will protect you with my soul power later. We will go down together and arrive at our destination."

Upon hearing this, Su Cheng didn't try to be stubborn and nodded, letting him do as he pleased.

With Dugu Bo's cultivation and strength as a titled Douluo, he easily brought the two of them down into the valley.

Looking at the amazing sight before him, even Su Cheng, with his extensive knowledge, couldn't help but be amazed.

"So this is what is known as the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire."

In the oval-shaped hot spring at the center of the valley, two distinctly different colors of water, milky white and vermilion, are clearly separated on either side. At their confluence, steam continuously rises and disappears all the way to the mountain pass.

The rich interplay of ice and fire energies nurtured a garden full of rare and exotic plants.

Looking around, he easily found many of the spiritual herbs that he had been looking for.

"Brother Dugu, I need some of the rare and precious herbs from your place." After glancing at them for a few moments, Su Cheng spoke frankly to Dugu Bo, who was standing beside him.

"Don't worry, I will only take four of the ten or so most valuable medicinal herbs you have here, and leave the rest to you. I will also teach you how to use these herbs."

After several encounters, he actually developed a rather favorable impression of Dugu Bo.

Although ruthless, he is also a principled and sentimental person.

Su Cheng himself was hardly a moral exemplar, and he didn't care about the flaws in his actions.

Perhaps due to an inaccurate assessment of the value of these medicinal herbs, Dugu Bo appeared quite nonchalant, waving his hand and laughing, "Mr. Su, you are too kind. The life-saving grace you have shown to my family cannot be repaid by these mere herbs."

Although he was not a member of the Spirit Hall, he had a general understanding of the other party's extraordinary status in the Spirit Hall and never intended to let Su Cheng leave empty-handed.

As a titled Douluo who rose from humble beginnings, Dugu Bo was not foolish in his dealings with people.

"Let's go, let's treat your son first." Su Cheng nodded, there was no rush to treat the herbal medicine.

After saying that, the two walked one after the other toward the wooden house in the valley.

Medicine is Su Cheng's natural talent and foundation in this life, as well as his most confident ability. Dealing with the martial soul snake venom of the Dugu family is not a big problem for him.

Even if one simply wants to suppress the toxicity for decades without it taking effect, it is very easy to do so.

The only challenge for him was to eradicate the damage the toxins caused to his body.

The martial spirit poison of Dugu Bo and his son is a mixed poison, which is much more complicated to cure than ordinary poisons.

To identify the types of toxins contained within, and to calculate the properties of the superimposed toxins, the workload required has increased several times over.

However, under the natural suppression of this Yin-Yang duality of ice and fire, coupled with the abundance of various herbs in the area, the difficulty is not particularly high.

As for the method like Tang San's, where he first consumes two immortal herbs to forge an invulnerable body and then uses his own blood to detoxify others, Su Cheng does not intend to use it.

He never intended to consume the Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass and the Blazing Apricot Blossom, and then enter the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire to temper his body.

To be honest, a body impervious to water and fire forged in this way is naturally quite impressive, and its foundation is exceptionally deep. But unfortunately, it doesn't align with his path, and there's no need to force it for the sake of short-term gains.

If it were a martial soul or soul bone, it would be fine, but if one were to directly taint their physical body with such extreme ice and fire attributes, it would be too troublesome to remove them later.

In fact, he did not intend to consume any immortal herbs, not just these two.

The medicinal power of the immortal herb is too fierce and extreme, which will affect the balance of his physical body.

A year ago, he would have been happy to try it out and see how much this thing could improve a martial soul.

However, after absorbing the third spirit ring and confirming that he could use the ultimate earth to harmonize the fire and metal attributes in his spirit, he abandoned his previous ideas.

Now he's thinking of going a step further, completing the Five Elements, and seeing what changes will occur.

Su Cheng had a premonition that if he wanted to escape the gaze and manipulation of certain high-ranking beings in the Douluo World in the future, finding another path would be the best option.

Actually, he had another idea in mind: to focus on stacking metal attributes to purify his martial soul and take an extremely pure offensive route.

However, he has made good progress on the path of attribute harmonization, and there is a better candidate to try the path of purifying martial soul. To complete this experiment, he cannot do without the help of this herb garden.

Medicines made from common herbs can improve the physical body, but they cannot penetrate deep into the blood vessels, so they are naturally difficult to be effective on martial spirits.

However, rare and precious herbs from older years are different.

Any ordinary plant will produce miraculous medicinal power when nourished by spiritual energy, let alone a rare and precious plant that has grown for many years in such a rare and beautiful place.

For the next month, Su Cheng spent most of his time in this valley, using the detoxifying effects of the Fragrant Silk Immortal Herb to study how to detoxify Dugu Bo and his son, and picking various spiritual herbs and rare treasures to concoct potions that could improve the attributes of martial souls.

Only occasionally do I leave this place to relieve the pressure that the rich ice and fire spiritual energy in the valley puts on my body.

A month later, in addition to curing the snake venom for the Dugu father and son, Su Cheng finally completed his more than ten types of attribute-enhancing potions.

The most numerous of them were not metal, the primary attribute of his martial soul, but earth.

Since we have decided to complete the Five Elements, we cannot be confined by the characteristics of the sword itself.

Among the Five Elements, Earth is the element that supports and sustains all things, making it far more suitable as the foundation for the initial stage than other elements.

I spent several hours revising the outline of Volume One, and I'm completely exhausted. The transitional plot passes quickly, and the climax is just around the corner. Looking forward to more reading!
