The Tree Realm Descends on Douluo Continent

Chapter 40 The Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire

Li Xun took a sip of wind and couldn't help but burp.

At this moment, he was held in Dugu Bo's arms, with Dugu Bo holding him close to his chest.

She both shielded Dugu Bo from the wind and protected him from the cold.

"I never want to be carried by others again."

Sunset Forest and Heavenly Dou Royal Academy are only a hundred miles apart, and Li Xun arrived in just half a day.

Dugu Bo led Li Xun directly through the outer barrier of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

After passing through the barrier, Dugu Bo put Li Xun down.

The two continued on their way until they reached a basin.

Li Xun looked down.

Smoke lingered in the very center of the basin for a long time.

A pungent smell of sulfur kept seeping into his nose.

"There's a smell of sulfur; is there a hot spring down there?"

Dugu Bo chuckled: "You little rascal, you've got a pretty good nose."

"Come on, I'll take you down."

"No thanks, senior, I'll do it myself." Li Xun quickly refused; he simply couldn't take it anymore.

Without waiting for Dugu Bo's reply, he used the Instantaneous Movement Technique to move downwards into the basin.

In just a few flashes, Li Xun had already reached the bottom of the basin.

"Good lad, your movement technique is so unpredictable."

Dugu Bo looked surprised and quickly flew down into the basin.

With excitement, Li Xun pressed on as he prepared to witness the legendary Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire.

not long

As they drew closer, a pool of red and blue water appeared before Li Xun.

Even the surrounding scenery was rendered in red and blue.

It has a touch of fairytale charm.

"This... I never expected it to be the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire," Li Xun exclaimed.

"What is this Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye?" Dugu Bo walked up from behind, looking at Li Xun with a puzzled expression.

"You don't know?"

Despite the extreme temperature, Li Xun pointed to the red and blue pool: "This is one of the world's three great treasure basins, the most suitable place for herbs to grow, a veritable eye of ice and fire!"

"Plants will grow ten times faster here."

"Moreover, only rare plants can grow here; ordinary plants simply cannot adapt to the extreme environment here."

"Hehe, so this place is so precious. I really didn't pay much attention to that pool." Dugu Bo was stunned for a moment, then chuckled awkwardly after the initial shock: "Ahem, kid, take a look, are there any other herbs that can cure the poison in me and Yanyan?"

Li Xun smiled and glanced at Dugu Bo: "Senior Dugu, this place is a paradise of rare treasures. I only glanced at it just now and found two herbs that seem to be celestial herbs."

"These two celestial herbs may not be able to cure the poison in you and Sister Yan, but they can bring you a huge boost."

"A divine delicacy?"

Dugu Bo looked at Li Xun with suspicion: "This is the first time I've heard of herbs being called this. Is there some hidden meaning behind it?"

"There are ranks among the elders, and so do herbs." Li Xun walked up to a pale pink herb and picked it according to the description in the book.

When Li Xun held the herb in his hand, he immediately felt a sense of relief. The influence of the environment near the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well on him diminished instantly.

"Common herbs can treat injuries and illnesses, rare herbs can strengthen the body's foundation and nourish the body's vitality, while legendary celestial herbs can bring the dead back to life and heal flesh and bones."

"Of course, such divine items are rare, and specific requirements must be met before they can be used."

Li Xun examined the herbs in his hand carefully: "Take this rare herb as an example."

"This celestial product is called Fragrant Silk. Although it cannot cure poison, it is the nemesis of all poisons. As long as you carry it with you, even your poison skills will be greatly reduced."

"What? This big flower has such miraculous effects?"

Dugu Bo was shocked.

He knew this place was magical, but when he came here years ago, he risked taking herbs and almost died.

From then on, he developed a sense of awe for the plants here.

Even though he had some guesses about the effects of some herbs, he didn't dare to try them rashly for the sake of young Dugu Yan.

"Hehe, although this immortal herb has miraculous effects, it doesn't offer much benefit to the Soul Master himself, while other immortal herbs are different."

Li Xun slowly walked towards the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, pointing to a plant that resembled a raging flame: "This immortal plant is called the Fiery Apricot Blossom. It only grows in extremely hot environments and is a highly poisonous immortal plant. The fire poison it contains will surely kill even a Title Douluo like yourself if you eat it."

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

"The exact opposite is that eight-cornered ice grass," Li Xun said, pointing to a medicinal herb from the frigid region.

Dugu Bo walked to Li Xun's side, looking solemnly at the pure white herb: "Is this the herb you said could cure the venom of the Azure Scale Serpent in my body?"

"But how can such a highly poisonous substance be ingested?"

"Although these two medicinal herbs are highly poisonous, they counteract each other. Taking them together can neutralize the toxins and achieve a synergistic effect." Li Xun pondered for a moment, then decided to be sincere: "If the user fully absorbs them, their constitution will be greatly improved, creating an effect that makes them immune to water and fire and wards off all poisons."

"Does it ward off all poisons?"

Dugu Bo frowned deeply: "Xiao Xun, if these two immortal herbs are from different years, can their medicinal properties still be balanced?"

"With your talent, you have a bright future ahead of you. There's no need for you to take such a risk for me and Yan Yan."

"I will collect a little from each of the immortal herbs and then consume it for testing."

Dugu Bo was deeply moved at this moment.

He didn't recognize the herbs here, and Li Xun could have chosen not to tell him the specific effects of these herbs, but instead asked for some benefits first.

But he didn't do that.

Although Li Xun and Yan Yan are friends, what does friendship matter when it comes to interests?

"Senior, if these two herbs are taken together, their medicinal properties can be balanced. However, if only a small amount is taken, even the slightest difference could be fatal."

Li Xun slowly shook his head and looked at Dugu Bo: "Moreover, you cannot take this directly."

"Senior, think about it. Even if I use fresh blood as a guide after taking it, it can still neutralize the toxins in your body. What would happen if you swallowed it directly?"

"Completely clear the toxins from the body?" Dugu Bo's expression was solemn.

He has a poison pill inside his body, which he condensed using half of his strength. If the medicinal properties dissipate the poison pill, his strength will be greatly reduced.

"Yes, the potency of your Jade Serpent Venom will likely be greatly reduced by then."

Li Xun nodded, and seeing Dugu Bo frown, continued, "Moreover, senior, rest assured, there might have been risks if I had taken it before, but the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well here can promote the absorption of the medicine, which has already minimized the risks."

Dugu Bo frowned and pondered for a long time before finally shaking his head: "Xiao Xun, let's wait a bit longer. Now that we have the Soul Bone method, there's no need to take such a risk for the time being."

Li Xun felt a terrible headache coming on; he felt that nothing he said would make a difference.

Dugu Bo had made up his mind not to take any risks.

Although it was for his own good, this feeling made him very uncomfortable.

Li Xun pondered for a moment, and then a sudden inspiration flashed in his mind.

"Since Senior Dugu is unwilling for me to take any risks, let's put this matter aside for now. I will take you to see the other two immortal plants."

"These two rare herbs also have a certain chance of removing the toxins from your and Sister Yan's bodies."
