Douluo Continent: From Rusty Spear to Emperor-Slaying Spear

Chapter 40 The Poison of Martial Soul, The Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire

Seeing Ye Lingling struggling to support Dugu Yan, Ji Wuming immediately seized the opportunity, stepped forward, and picked Dugu Yan up in his arms.

"I can walk by myself, you liar!"

"Human life is at stake. Try to walk as few steps as possible to avoid accelerating your blood flow and worsening the poisoning."

Ji Wuming ignored Dugu Yan's struggles in his arms like a kitten. Since he didn't have a chance to stay at the Ye family clinic, he had a reasonable excuse.

At this moment, Dugu Yan had almost buried her head in her chest, and her face was extremely red. Apart from her grandfather and her deceased parents when she was a child, no man had ever hugged her like this before.

As the three of them burst into the consultation room once again, Dugu Bo looked at Dugu Yan with extreme concern and forced the snake venom that had erupted from her body out of her body. With Ye Wuyi's treatment beside her, her complexion finally improved significantly in less than half an hour.

However, at that moment, the soul pressure from the Title Douluo once again pressed down on Ji Wuming. He didn't offer much resistance, and his entire body was pressed flat onto the ground.

"Your Majesty, what brings you here?"

Ye Wuyi looked at the pitiful child who had been suddenly suppressed, and was also very puzzled.

"Please leave for now, I have something to say to this young man."

"All right!"

Before a titled Douluo, even Ye Lingling, a Soul Emperor, was helpless. She led Ye Lingling away, while Dugu Bo walked up to Ji Wuming and looked down at him.

"Why didn't you resist? Did you think I wouldn't kill you?"

"The Poison Douluo Suwen is aloof and his poison skills are unparalleled. Even titled Douluos stronger than you have to show you respect. If you want to kill me, how could I possibly survive?"

Unable to move, Ji Wuming tried his best to reply to Dugu Bo. Although he couldn't figure out Dugu Bo's character, one thing was certain: he would never kill someone in the clinic.

After all, the Ye family is the Nine-Star Begonia family, and the Nine-Star Begonia family has a huge influence in the empire and even the entire Soul Master world, not to mention that he needs to rely on the Ye family to get rid of the poison.

Being praised like that by a junior put Dugu Bo in a very good mood. Furthermore, the young man meant no harm to his granddaughter and had even helped with a small matter. He chuckled a few times and then withdrew his soul power.

"Get out of here. If you dare to tell anyone what you saw today, I will kill you even if you run to the ends of the earth."

"Senior, based on my understanding of martial spirits, Miss Dugu Yan's poison is not an ordinary poisoning, but a poison of her martial spirit, which is related to my martial spirit."

Before Ji Wuming could finish speaking, an overwhelming and ferocious soul pressure pressed down on him again, making it hard for him to breathe. The bones throughout his body emitted a violent grinding sound.

"Boy, do you really think I wouldn't dare kill you?"

What Ji Wuming said touched upon the secrets of his Dugu family, things he least wanted to mention. What was the purpose of an outsider knowing this? Was it to threaten him? Or was it to use his granddaughter to accomplish something unspeakable after his death?

"I mean nothing by this; I simply wish to offer some somewhat immature solutions. Would Your Majesty be so kind as to hear my suggestion again?"

After hearing this, Dugu Bo looked at Ji Wuming warily, but he was also starting to wonder what kind of solution this kid had in mind.

As the pressure on him slowly dissipated, Ji Wuming was finally able to stand up. To be honest, today was the most humiliating day he had ever experienced in his quest to reach the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

However, in order to obtain the immortal herb and befriend this unaffiliated titled Douluo, the humiliation was worthwhile.

Ji Wuming said with a serious expression, "Because of my own martial soul defect, I have studied a lot of martial soul and soul beast knowledge. Poison attribute martial souls, while giving soul masters the advantage of poison, also bring them a backlash effect."

"The Jade Phosphorous Serpent is a highly venomous soul beast, and the venom of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul is also extraordinary. Although it will not affect cultivation, it will cause soul masters who awaken this type of Martial Soul to die young. I have seen some ancient prescriptions, which describe several herbs that can completely cure the poison of the Martial Soul. However, these herbs are so precious that I have difficulty finding them."

As for the superficial method of finding the soul bone that stores toxins, Ji Wuming had no intention of mentioning it at all.

Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo frowned. "I happen to have a medicinal herb garden. Could this kid have the ability to predict the future?"

Impossible. The area surrounding the herb garden is filled with his poisonous mist, which even some titled Douluo dare not easily set foot in.

At this moment, Dugu Yan looked at Ji Wuming with piercing surprise in her eyes.

"Are you a doctor too?"

Ji Wuming shook his head helplessly and said, "If only I knew some herbs that could fix the defects in a martial soul, I could become a physician like the Ye family!"

Upon hearing this, Gudu Bo looked at Gudu Yan and gave her instructions.

"Yanyan, you should rest and recuperate in the clinic first. Grandpa is going to take this boy to the herb garden."

Before Dugu Yan could speak, Dugu Bo picked up Ji Wuming and left, asking Ye Wuyi to take good care of Dugu Yan before flying towards Sunset Forest.

"I happen to have a medicinal herb garden. If you can cure my grandfather and grandson's illness with the herbs in the garden, I can grant you one request. If you cannot cure them..."

Looking at Dugu Bo's expression, Ji Wuming knew that if he couldn't cure him, he would only face death. He watched Dugu Bo speeding away.

As expected of Dugu Bo, he acts unpredictably. Given this situation, he should use a strategy of retreat as a means of advancement.

"Your Majesty, then I'd better not go!"

"You won't go? Then I'll leave you among a horde of ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts and watch them tear you to pieces!"

"Wow, I'm going..."

Ji Wuming feigned extreme fear and quickly agreed to Dugu Bo's request, though he was secretly overjoyed.

The latest novel is first published here!

Before half an hour had passed, Ji Wuming and his group passed through a poisonous fog and arrived at a slightly eerie cave shrouded in green light.

"Hurry up, kid, we'll be there once we get through this cave."

The two walked towards the faint yellow light ahead. After exiting the cave, the scenery suddenly opened up before them. Ji Wuming looked down.

A small, circular basin sat within the center, surrounded by scattered hills dotted with red and blue ice crystals. Although Ji Wuming had anticipated this, he was still incredibly excited to see the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye before him.

"This, this is the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire. I never imagined there was such a treasure in the world."

"Huh? Kid, you know about this Lake of Ice and Fire?"

Seeing Ji Wuming's familiar expression, Dugu Bo began to look forward to the immortal herb he had mentioned earlier.

"Indeed, this is the treasure trove I learned about from the ancient prescriptions—the Eye of Ice and Fire, one cold and one hot, yin and yang in pairs, mutually restraining each other, and there is an 80% chance that the herbs that can cure Your Majesty are here."

After seeing the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, Ji Wuming did not act too recklessly, but instead became even more cautious, fearing that Dugu Bo might lose his temper and kill him prematurely.

"An 80% chance is already quite high, take me there quickly."

Ji Wuming glanced at Dugu Bo, who had already descended, then looked at the cliff below, which was two or three hundred meters high, and was speechless.

"Your Majesty, I cannot descend!"
