Douluo Continent: From Blue Silver Grass to Nine-Leaf Sword Grass

Chapter 22 The Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire

Thinking of this, Dugu Bo tentatively asked, "Kid, do you have someone backing you?"

It's no wonder Dugu Bo was so cautious; Jiang Li was simply too amazing. He had medical skills and strength. He could even cultivate with a useless martial soul, Blue Silver Grass, and absorb soul rings that were above his level. He didn't believe there wasn't a master guiding him. If Jiang Li really did have someone behind him, then things would get interesting.

Jiang Li was taken aback by Dugu Bo's words, not understanding what he meant, but still explained, "No, I grew up with my grandfather since I was a child, and he taught me medicine. However, my grandfather passed away a few years ago, and I've been all alone since then."

At this point, Jiang Li suddenly looked strange and continued, "Senior, you don't think I have someone backing me, do you? Putting everything else aside, who would want my Blue Silver Grass? It's the most typical useless martial soul."

After receiving Jiang Li's reply, Dugu Bo's expression froze. Yes, how could anyone possibly want a Blue Silver Grass? It's just a useless martial soul. Even if you train it, it doesn't necessarily make you a strong person. On the contrary, Jiang Li was able to reach his current level through self-study.

Dugu Yan was also taken aback. She had thought that Jiang Li, who was so knowledgeable at his age, must be similar to her, with a powerful figure behind him. She hadn't expected that he had reached this level entirely through his own efforts. So she couldn't help but reflect on what she had been doing all these years.

After thinking it through, Dugu Bo coughed twice and said, "Haven't you considered taking on a master or something?"

To be honest, Dugu Bo has taken a liking to Jiang Li. He is a genius in medicine and theory, and has unique insights into martial spirits. You can tell just by looking at his martial spirit. He was able to cultivate a useless martial spirit like Blue Silver Grass into such a form. If he had a protector, he would definitely become one of the strongest people on the continent in the future.

"Yes, yes, if you want to become my disciple, you can consider my grandfather. He is a titled Douluo. Ordinary people don't even have the chance to become my grandfather's disciple," Dugu Yan chimed in.

Should he become an apprentice? Jiang Li had considered this. After all, his Blue Silver Grass was too conspicuous. He wasn't Tang San, and he didn't have a Title Douluo protecting him. If someone found out about his martial soul, they would definitely try to extract information from him. Having a powerful figure behind him would save him a lot of trouble.

Thinking of this, Jiang Li looked up at Dugu Bo. Dugu Bo was a good choice. He was protective of his own and was a Title Douluo. Although he might be the weakest Title Douluo, that was only because of the poison. After solving his problem, his combat power would experience a surge, and then Dugu Bo would be able to get rid of the weakest group.

Dugu Bo did not disturb Jiang Li's thoughts. He also saw Jiang Li's actions and knew that Jiang Li was already interested but was just considering it. Dugu Yan was also very right. Ordinary people would not even be able to become his apprentice. If he did not think that Jiang Li was a good prospect, he would not have asked this question.

After a while, Jiang Li said, "Senior, becoming a disciple is secondary. Detoxifying you is the most important thing. Let's postpone the discipleship for now and detoxify you first."

It has to be said that this world is still very kind to wild geniuses. When Dugu Bo heard this, he knew that the matter of taking on a disciple was settled, it was just that it would be postponed. Jiang Li was right, the most important thing was to detoxify, and taking on a disciple was just a minor matter. Dugu Bo was not short of time.

With this in mind, Dugu Bo said, "Then let's go down."

And so the three of them went down.

Below was a hot spring. The hot spring wasn't large, but it was divided into two oval pools, the water of which was surprisingly different colors: milky white and vermilion. Even more remarkably, although they were within the same pool, they were clearly separated, 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.

Jiang Li 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.

"Hiss! Senior, this place is a geomantically auspicious spot. There should be something here to cure the toxins in your bodies."

Jiang Li stared in astonishment at the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire before him, saying that he had never seen such a place in his two lifetimes.

"Yes, it is indeed a place of auspicious feng shui. I found it ten years ago," Dugu Bo said proudly. Then, Dugu Bo's mood turned somber, and he continued, "It's a pity that if I had found this place sooner, Xin'er..."

Hearing Dugu Bo's dejected tone, Dugu Yan seemed to remember something as well, and silently lowered her head.

"Uh..." Jiang Li scratched his head awkwardly after hearing Dugu Bo's words. He had forgotten about Dugu Bo's son.

"Sigh, let's not talk about it. You just said there's something here that can cure our poison?" Dugu Bo sighed first, then became excited again, and hope also rose in Dugu Yan's eyes.

"Yes, senior, you should know that the better the environment of a place, the more rare and precious materials it produces. Places like this usually have many heaven-defying treasures, and I dare say that there are no more than a handful of such places on the continent."

Jiang Li is right. Looking at the entire Douluo Continent, there are indeed only a handful of famous feng shui treasure lands, to be precise, only three: the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye, the Qiankun Asking Love Valley, and the Dragon Valley. Moreover, all of them were formed after the fall of gods. The Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye in front of us was formed after the fall of the Ice and Fire Dragon King, and it took countless years for this treasure land to be created.

Moreover, the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire is the foundation for Tang San and the Shrek Seven Devils to become gods. It can be said that without this treasure land, the chances of the Shrek Seven Devils becoming gods are very small. However, no matter what, Tang San would probably become a god even without the immortal herbs. After all, Tang San was able to be resurrected after dying in the original work. What else is there that the God Realm cannot do?

"But I'm not sure if there are any suitable medicinal herbs here, so I'll have to go inside and take a look," Jiang Li said, shaking his head.

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

As time passed, Jiang Li found all the immortal items recorded in the original work, including Narcissus Jade Skin and Bone, Extraordinary Chrysanthemum Reaching the Sky, Snow-White Swan Kiss, Dew That Pierces 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, and in the center, the Eight-Cornered Mysterious Ice Grass and the Fiery Apricot Delicate Sparse, as well as two unrecorded Earth Dragon Golden Melon and the Black Jade Divine Bamboo.

As for why they were found, you can tell by their appearance. Take the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass and the Fiery Apricot Vegetable for example. They grow in springs and have very unique appearances. They are blue star anise and red cabbage, respectively. The Narcissus Jade Bone is simply a narcissus flower. The Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum Martial Soul theoretically exists. The Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower is a sunflower with a cockscomb. The Eight-Petaled Fairy Orchid is an orchid with eight petals. The Qiluo Tulip is a particularly beautiful tulip. The Acacia Heartbreak Red grows on rocks. The Earth Dragon Golden Melon is a sweet potato with scale-like skin. As for the Fragrant Qiluo, just check if there are any toxins around it. The Ink Jade Divine Bamboo is simply a black bamboo shoot.
