Courtyard House: My Time Travel is a Bit Too Strong

As soon as Lin Quan and the others landed, their faces lit up with undisguised shock and ecstasy.

"It truly is the legendary Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire..."

"Everywhere I look, there are rare treasures that are over ten thousand years old!"

"Even a single plant picked at random is a rare and precious treasure of nature..."

Although Lin Quan had heard of it before, being there in person still shocked him to his core – cold flames intertwined, heat and cold coexisted, two completely opposite primal forces silently tearing and entwining in the air. Even more astonishing was the density of the spiritual energy here, probably more than ten times that of the outside world!

Just considering the abundant spiritual energy of heaven and earth, a day of secluded cultivation is equivalent to several days of effort elsewhere.

"Narcissus-like skin and bones..."

"Tulips of Elegance, Chrysanthemums of Extraordinary Vitality..."

"Earth Dragon Golden Melon, Black Jade Divine Bamboo..."

"Oh God... the red acacia blossoms that break one's heart!"

Just as Lin Quan and the others were holding their breath and looking around, Wang Yuyan had already flitted through the flowers like a butterfly and suddenly disappeared into the medicinal herb field.

She lightly tapped her fingertips, her gaze sweeping over each and every magical and poisonous herb. Her expression shifted from surprise to fascination, and a low sigh involuntarily escaped her throat.

She could name most of these spiritual creatures, identify their medicinal properties, and know the best time and method to harvest them. However, she did not reach out to pick them. Instead, she quickly walked around them once, then suddenly stopped, her gaze fixed on Dugu Bo's face.

That look in his eyes was incredibly complex—like looking at a fool begging for food while holding a mountain of gold.

Having guarded this blessed land for so many years, he has only managed to wear himself down to a state of half-dead!

Not to mention dispelling the deadly poison that had been lingering in his body for many years, even if Wang Yuyan didn't have a crystal core to protect her body and was still that weak girl who couldn't even kill a chicken, the natural treasures here alone could cleanse her marrow and rebuild her meridians, giving her the potential to reach the pinnacle in one step!

She bent down to examine them closely, naming each medicinal herb by name, her voice clear and melodious like a bell.

Dugu Bo stood there, his heart tightening with each word, as if he were watching a mountain of gold being inventoried, valued, and accounted for right before his eyes...

Before Lin Quan could speak, his Adam's apple bobbed, and he finally couldn't hold back any longer, asking urgently:

"Gentlemen...when can you detoxify my old man and my granddaughter?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Quan's lips curled slightly, his smile gentle yet undeniably firm:

"Detoxification? Anytime is fine."

Before he finished speaking, his gaze had already slipped towards Wang Yuyan and Li Hanyi.

Among them, none were truly experts in the art of poisons. However, Wang Yuyan possessed knowledge of the toxicity of hundreds of herbs, and Li Hanyi was well-versed in the human body's meridians; the Langhuan Jade Cave held fragments of ancient prescriptions, and the two former city lords of Snow Moon City were either skilled in poison concoction or proficient in traditional Chinese medicine, with a Tang Clan disciple by their side; plus, there was this spiritual root and immortal herb, tempered by ice and fire for a thousand years…

Let alone curing Dugu Bo's chronic illness, it wouldn't be difficult to help the martial souls of the grandfather and grandson undergo a complete transformation.

"Let's discuss the detoxification methods for you two, grandfather and grandson."

"Go and bring your granddaughter here first."

Dugu Bo gritted his teeth and made no further hesitation.

Swish!

The figure soared into the air, shooting out of the valley mouth like an arrow released from a bow, and vanished in an instant.

After his figure had completely disappeared, Lin Quan turned to Wang Yuyan and Li Hanyi, his tone calm yet weighty:

"What do you think of Dugu Bo's condition?"

Their eyes met, and for a moment they fell silent.

"The fact that he has lived to this day is already an anomaly."

"It was only thanks to the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire that I was able to stay afloat and use poison to temper my body that I was able to climb to the top of the Title Douluo."

"It can be poisonous yet nourishing, but it can also devour people—ultimately, it's like drinking poison to quench thirst, harming oneself and others."

Li Hanyi was not skilled in poisons, but she could see through the deep rot and forced resilience in his flesh at a glance.

As soon as she finished speaking, Wang Yuyan continued:

"The most straightforward and safest way is to let him sever the foundation of his poison skills himself."

Before she could finish speaking, Lin Quan gently shook his head.

"This method won't work; Dugu Bo definitely won't agree..."

Lin Quan didn't even bother to probe; just thinking about the old poisoner's temperament, he knew he would never agree!

It would be barely feasible if it were his granddaughter.

Dugu Bo—the dignified "Poison Douluo," whose fearsome reputation resounds far and wide—once his foundation is shaken and his soul power declines, even before the Spirit Hall makes a move, countless deadly eyes will already be lurking in the shadows.

To protect his granddaughter, he couldn't allow his fighting strength to be diminished even slightly!

"Among the spiritual herbs and immortal plants in the Yin-Yang Well, are there any that can help his martial soul advance to a higher level?"

"Especially rare treasures that can directly trigger the transformation of a martial soul..."

Lin Quan is not the kind of hothead who would be tempted by any treasure and take it all.

Currently, only Dugu Bo and his grandson remain. Even if each of them were to receive a top-tier immortal herb, it would be nothing more than a drop in the ocean for Lin Quan and the others.

"The Earth Dragon Golden Melon, combined with the Ten-Thousand-Year Dragon Blood Grass, might truly be able to break the shackles of his martial soul..."

"Add to that a poison cultivation technique—though only second-rate, it's enough to help them tame the deadly poison within their bodies and turn the tables!"

Before she finished speaking, Wang Yuyan raised her eyes slightly and placed them steadily on Qiao Jingjing and Lin Quan's faces.

"Sister Jingjing, if Brother Quan doesn't mind, how about giving them a crystal core?"

"By using the power of the crystal core to cleanse the marrow and refine the body, the threshold for the evolution of the martial soul will naturally be much lower."

Zhu Zhuqing only swallowed one, and she was reborn – her soul power soared to the maximum value of the innate level, and the Netherworld Cat even transformed into the Netherworld Cat Emperor!

It is clear that the crystal core in Qiao Jingjing's hand is far superior to ordinary spiritual herbs.

In terms of the effects of taking it for the first time, let alone the magical herbs in the hot pot, even if they were all combined, they might not be able to match one-tenth of the effect of a single crystal core!

Not to mention the most mysterious point: the crystal core can also awaken dormant superpowers—that's what makes it truly terrifying.

This is also the key reason why Lin Quan had never considered Dugu Bo before.

"Give each of them, grandfather and grandson, a level one crystal core."

"Our test data is very clear: the probability of awakening superpowers is highest with a level 2 crystal core on the first server; while with a level 1 core, it is extremely low, less than one in a hundred."

"But the effects of cleansing the marrow and strengthening the body, and reshaping the bones and muscles, remain unchanged even with a level one crystal core."

As soon as Qiao Jingjing finished speaking, Lin Quan lowered his eyes for a moment, then nodded: "Let's do it that way."

"If they are incredibly lucky and actually unlock superpowers using a level-one crystal core, then that's fate."

"Even if it's activated, without the support of subsequent crystal cores, the ability will be difficult to grow—we hold the initiative in this regard."

He changed the subject, his gaze falling on Wang Yuyan: "Yuyan, choose a poison cultivation method, and pair it with Dragon Blood Grass and Earth Dragon Golden Melon."

"Consider these things as a thank you gift for purchasing the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, to settle the karmic debt."

Upon hearing this, the four women exchanged glances and nodded with smiles.

They were neither evil spirits nor misers.

Although apart from a second-rate cultivation technique and two first-rate crystal cores, the rest of the medicinal herbs were just taken along the way—who told Dugu Bo to be guarding a treasure mountain but not know its value?

It is extremely commendable that Lin Quan and his group acted in this way, upholding their principles of honesty and integrity, without deceiving or plundering.

Even if it were just a single manual, that old poison master would probably be overjoyed and grateful beyond words!

Although Dugu Bo now holds the empty title of "Title Douluo," he has long been suffering from the backlash of his poisonous skills.
