Chapter 286 The Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire
After carefully putting away the books on poison techniques, Dugu Bo finally breathed a sigh of relief.
From this day forward, this poisonous skill will be the foundation for his and his granddaughter Dugu Yan's survival, and even for the entire Dugu clan of the Azure Phosphorous Serpent.
He had no choice but to take it seriously.
As a titled Douluo and a guest of the Heaven Dou royal family, Dugu Bo was naturally not short of money and also possessed a storage soul tool.
Not only that, he also had a special soul guide device for storing living beings, the Ruyi Treasure Pouch.
Watching Dugu Bo solemnly retract his poison technique into the storage soul tool on his wrist, as if on a pilgrimage, Ye Qifeng didn't say much, understanding his emotions perfectly.
A quick glance at Dugu Bo's waist revealed a blue leather pouch.
It is indeed the Ruyi Baibao Nang (a magical pouch).
The wind was clear at night.
Inside was another trump card of Dugu Bo: a nine-sectioned jadeite, about five inches long, entirely green.
Nine-Section Jadeite is a type of snake-like spirit beast, the finest among bamboo vipers. Its entire body is harder than refined steel, making it difficult to be injured by sharp blades. Although small in size, it is one of the most venomous snakes.
If you are bitten by it, it will inject toxins into your body, and you will die from pus within a short time.
According to the original course of fate.
The Nine-Section Jadeite was lost to Tang San as a bet when Dugu Bo tested Tang San's antidote abilities.
Later, after learning from Tang San how to alleviate the backlash of poison by forcing the poison into the soul bone, Dugu Bo gave Tang San his Ruyi Treasure Pouch in exchange for two disposable hidden weapons, the Mother-Child Soul-Chasing Life-Taking Gallbladder.
The Ruyi Baibao Nang (a magical pouch) has a special function: it can not only store living things like nine-section jade, but also keep harvested herbs fresh.
Otherwise, Tang San wouldn't have been able to use up all the rare medicinal herbs in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well and then bring them back to Shrek Academy to feed to the Shrek students.
It's important to know that many medicinal herbs are meant to be taken directly, and the fresher they are, the better their effects.
However, these rare medicinal herbs share a common characteristic.
However, once harvested, its medicinal properties and spiritual energy are often completely lost within a short period of time.
Without the Ruyi Pouch, Tang San could only refine those celestial herbs into either poison or elixirs.
There won't be any more scenes of unparalleled divine ingredients paired with the Seven Devils, let alone the Seven Devils becoming gods.
Ye Qifeng wouldn't covet Dugu Bo's Ruyi Hundred Treasures Pouch.
After all, he had a soul tool that could store living beings.
That was a purple jade crystal ring given to him by the stunningly beautiful teacher Bibi Dong, and it contained a full fifty cubic meters of storage space.
Compared to Dugu Bo's Ruyi Treasure Pouch, the purple jade crystal ring is much prettier and smells much better.
After only a fleeting glance at the somewhat ugly blue leather pouch at Dugu Bo's waist, Ye Qifeng lost interest and didn't look at it any further.
"Let's go, Night Boy, I'll take you to the herb garden in Sunset Forest right now."
At this moment, Dugu Bo suddenly spoke up.
After saying that, he was about to use his soul power to lift up Ye Qifeng and head towards Sunset Forest.
"No rush."
Ye Qifeng waved his hand to stop him, "I need to bring one more person with me."
After saying that, under Dugu Bo's questioning gaze, he made a few hand gestures towards a shadowy spot in the former's residence.
Instructions received.
The gloomy mist, which had remained motionless in the shadows, suddenly shifted.
A few moments later.
A thick cloud of dark mist swept out from the shadows.
It drifted to Ye Qifeng's front and immediately condensed into two figures, one large and one small.
"So it was you!"
Upon seeing the tall, dark shadow formed by the condensed mist, Dugu Bo shouted loudly, immediately feeling as if facing a formidable enemy.
At the same time, his Title Douluo-level soul power surged forth in response.
How could Dugu Bo not recognize the person before him?
After all, he and his partner, Chrysanthemum Pass, were sworn enemies who fought each other two or three times a year.
Although the other party never intervened in the battle between him and Chrysanthemum Pass, they often watched from the sidelines and provided support.
It was all because the other party and Juhua Guan were inseparable, like a pair of lovers.
Every time he went to Juhua Pass to settle accounts, the other party was almost always present.
Although the other party never made a move, his very existence was a threat.
That's why he never dared to use his full strength when fighting Chrysanthemum Pass. He always had to spare some attention for his opponent to avoid being ambushed.
After all, their specialty is assassination.
This also led to him being frequently beaten down by that dead chrysanthemum.
Upon seeing the black figure before him, Dugu Bo's expression changed drastically, and he became extremely defensive.
That's right.
The person who provoked such a strong reaction from Dugu Bo.
He is clad in black robes, never revealing his true face, and is known as "the ghost that leaves only a shadow and no spirit." He is the most enigmatic Title Douluo of the Spirit Hall, the Ghost Douluo, a phantom.
Sensing the aura of Dugu Bo's title, Gui Mei remained unmoved and bowed slightly to Ye Qifeng.
"Your Highness!"
After bowing, he looked at Dugu Bo, but only nodded slightly and gave a hoarse, cold "hmm".
She then stood quietly in place, ignoring him completely.
This made Dugu Bo, who seemed to be facing a formidable enemy, appear somewhat dazed.
Another figure emerged from the mist.
It was Raven, who was just over 1.3 meters tall, wearing a white women's knight dress and with a lotus flower hairstyle on her head.
At this moment, she hid behind the ghost and peeked out her little head. When she saw Dugu Bo, who was covered in green and had a cold and eerie aura, she shrank her neck in fear.
Only after seeing Ye Qifeng's figure did he happily shout:
"Brother Ye!"
The crisp, clear voice caused Dugu Bo's title aura to freeze for a moment. Seeing that the ghost had no intention of paying attention to him, he awkwardly withdrew his soul power and lowered his guard.
Then, the gaze shifted from the ghost to Raven's small body.
Upon seeing that the speaker was a little girl of about eight years old, Dugu Bo looked at Ye Qifeng and asked in confusion:
"Who is this little girl?"
"Oh, her name is Raven."
Ye Qifeng beckoned to Ruiwen, calling her over and giving her a brief introduction to Dugu Bo.
At the same time, he also introduced Dugu Bo to Raven:
"Raven, this is Poison Douluo, Senior Dugu Bo."
With her blue-green eyes wide open, Raven raised her head and curiously examined the gaunt old man dressed in an eerie green outfit.
Upon hearing Ye Qifeng's introduction that he was actually a Title Douluo with a cultivation level at the peak of Soul Master, he was extremely surprised.
Although the old man in front of her looked a little creepy, out of politeness, Raven still greeted him sweetly.
"Hello, Senior Poison Douluo!"
"Oh, hello little girl."
Upon hearing the greeting, Dugu Bo forced a dry smile and responded.
Although he was a bit eccentric and aloof, he often felt an unconscious sense of affection for little girls because of his granddaughter.
As if he had thought of something, Dugu Bo's face twitched slightly, and he suddenly asked:
"Young man, you're not planning to take her with you to the herb garden in Sunset Forest, are you?"
"yes."
Ye Qifeng nodded and asked in return:
"Is there a problem?"
Dugu Bo frowned his green eyebrows and emphasized:
"Let me make this clear to you first: the herb garden in Sunset Forest is filled with extremely cold and extremely hot spiritual energy from heaven and earth."
"Whether it is a human or a spirit beast, if they enter the herb garden, their bodies will be impacted by the two extreme attributes of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth within a short period of time."
"This kind of impact is simply unbearable for most people."
"If one does not possess a cultivation level above the Soul Venerable realm, I'm afraid they wouldn't even last half a breath. Even a Title Douluo like myself wouldn't dare to stay inside for too long; at most, I could only stay for a month."
"This little girl named Raven doesn't seem to be a Soul Master yet, right? Are you sure you want to take her with you?"
Knowing what Dugu Bo was worried about, Ye Qifeng smiled faintly at him and said in a relaxed tone:
"It's alright, with Ghost Douluo here, he'll protect Raven, it's nothing to worry about."
Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo glanced at the taciturn Ghost Douluo Gui Mei beside him and immediately fell silent.
Indeed, with the protection of a Title Douluo, one could stay in the herb garden for a period of time.
However, I still don't quite understand why Ye Qifeng would bring along Raven, who is such a burden.
"The reason I brought Little Raven along on this trip to Sunset Forest is also to help her obtain her first spirit ring."
Night Wind answered his question.
"Acquire a spirit ring?"
Dugu Bo was stunned for a moment. "If I'm not mistaken, this little girl Raven is already eight years old. At this age, how come she hasn't obtained her first spirit ring yet?"
Ye Qifeng understood the unspoken meaning in Dugu Bo's words.
His meaning was clearly that at eight years old, he hadn't officially become a Soul Master, so his talent and aptitude were probably not very good, and he could only be considered average.
"Senior, don't underestimate Raven's talent. She's a genius with innate full soul power."
With a light cough, Ye Qifeng mentioned it with a faint smile.
"What the heck? Innate full soul power?"
Dugu Bo's eyes bulged in surprise. "If it's innate full soul power, then why...?"
"Due to some special reasons."
Then Ye Qifeng recounted Ruiwen's background to Dugu Bo.
After listening, Dugu Bo looked at Raven with surprise and admiration, but also with some sympathy.
"Oh right, there's another Title Douluo. Why don't we call him out and let me get to know him?"
At this moment, Dugu Bo suddenly asked a question.
"Cough cough~~"
Ye Qifeng coughed twice and explained:
"That senior has other matters to attend to and has already taken his leave."
Ci Xue, the Porcupine Douluo, is a titled bodyguard assigned to Qian Renxue by the Spirit Hall. He has always remained hidden in the shadows, preferring to keep his identity secret if possible.
Therefore, after confirming that Dugu Bo posed no further threat to him.
Ye Qifeng then gestured for Ci Xue to return directly to Qian Renxue's side.
The reason why Ghostly Demon delayed showing himself for a while was to cover Bloodthirst's retreat.
Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo glanced at Ye Qifeng, his expression thoughtful.
He quickly realized that the titled Douluo who had not shown up was someone Ye Qifeng had specifically invited to deal with him.
This was to prevent him from making a sudden move.
The key point is that he seemed to sense a kindred spirit from that titled Douluo, which was also a dangerous aura.
He had a feeling that the titled Douluo, although only at level 92 in soul power, posed a greater threat to him than Ghost Douluo Ghost Phantom.
Thinking of this, Dugu Bo couldn't help but feel a chill of fear.
"Alright, now I'll trouble you to lead the way, senior."
Ye Qifeng didn't want to say more about the blood-piercing issue, so he looked at Dugu Bo and asked him a favor.
He had been looking forward to the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire for a long time.
Not only the intense cold and heat of the place, but also the rare medicinal herbs there, Ye Qifeng was extremely looking forward to them.
He had promised the beautiful teacher, Bibi Dong, that he would bring her a gift back home.
Inside the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, there happened to be a gift he wanted to give to his teacher, Bibi Dong.
Oh, and there's also Gintoki.
The spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire has a growth-promoting effect on plant-based organisms, making it suitable for the growth of the Blue Silver Emperor.
This is a good opportunity to let Ah Yin absorb more spiritual energy from heaven and earth to accelerate her growth.
While we're at it, let's check if there are any rare medicinal herbs at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well that can help soul beasts transform.
"Come with me."
Dugu Bo responded with a sentence, then activated his soul power and soared into the air from the courtyard.
Without saying a word, the ghost waved his hand, unleashing his powerful soul force to lift Ye Qifeng and Ruiwen, forming a soul force shield around them.
Immediately afterwards, he also took to the air, following closely behind Dugu Bo.
Then, the four of them took off and flew towards the direction of Sunset Forest in the eastern part of Tiandou City.
Sunset Forest is only a hundred miles away from Tiandou City.
With the flying speed of a Title Douluo, it didn't take long for the group to reach the outer edge of Sunset Forest.
However, the location of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye is deep in the Sunset Forest. Although it is not the core area, it is still more than a thousand kilometers away from the outer edge.
Even with Dugu Bo and Gui Mei's incredible speed and their best efforts to fly, it still took them most of the day.
Until nearing afternoon.
The four of them had just arrived near the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire.
Soaring through the air, Dugu Bo and Gui Mei constantly exuded the aura and soul power pressure of titled Douluo.
This was to deter the flying spirit beasts of Sunset Forest, so that they wouldn't attack without knowing what was going on.
Gazing at the mountain peak below, shrouded in white mist and dense forest, Dugu Bo's eyes were filled with fascination and complex emotions.
Unfortunately, this place would soon no longer belong to him.
"Come with me."
Shaking his head, glancing at Ye Qifeng and the other two, Dugu Bo left a message and then descended into the thick white fog below.
Upon seeing the white mist, Ye Qifeng's eyes lit up, sensing two intense and extreme types of primordial energy from it.
He immediately understood.
Those white mists originated from the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, formed from the vapor rising from the icy and scorching spring water within.
The Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire is right before our eyes.
