Sunset Forest — the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.
Heaven Dou City was not far from the Sunset Forest. What's more, with two Titled Douluo traveling at full speed, even though bringing along Cheng Xiao slightly slowed them down, they still arrived at this treasure-laden land — known as a "Cornucopia" — near afternoon.
"The Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well — this is actually the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well!"
The Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well referred to the natural twin spring before them — one cold, one hot, two opposing forces existing side by side, mutually restraining and supporting each other. Such a naturally formed treasure of heaven and earth might not even appear once in tens of thousands of years!
At this moment, Yue Guan finally understood why Dugu Bo — who also possessed deep knowledge of pharmacology — could not comprehend the effects of the herbs that Cheng Xiao mentioned. Because this Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well was one of the three great "Cornucopias" formed by the essence of heaven and earth — something an ordinary soul master could never hope to see!
"Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well? What are you talking about?" Dugu Bo asked suspiciously, glancing at Yue Guan.
Yue Guan forcibly calmed his excitement, trying his best to keep his composure, but having witnessed the legendary land with his own eyes, he could not hide the tremor in his voice. "Old Poison, I truly didn't expect you to have hidden such a fine place! You, my friend — I've decided — you're my brother from now on!"
"Who said this old man wanted to be your brother?" Dugu Bo replied coldly, eyes full of disdain.
"Come now, Old Poison. You know as well as I do — being part of the Spirit Hall, we can't always act by our own will." Yue Guan smiled bitterly. "You understand that cultivating to the realm of Titled Douluo takes tremendous effort. We may be Titled Douluo, but we aren't senseless killers. You and I both know how heavy the price is to reach this stage."
"Indeed… Rank 90, Titled Douluo." Dugu Bo sighed softly, not refuting Yue Guan. "The price to reach this realm is indeed unimaginably heavy."
"Alright then, Old Poison. From now on, we're brothers!" Yue Guan said with a soft, almost feminine laugh.
This time, Dugu Bo didn't respond. He simply nodded toward Cheng Xiao, then his figure flickered and vanished.
Before leaving, Dugu Bo had already told Cheng Xiao that he could pick whatever herbs he needed, as long as he didn't waste or damage anything — since every herb here was extremely precious.
Not far from where Cheng Xiao and Yue Guan stood, there bloomed a faint pink flower — tall and leafless, with a stem about three feet long. The flower itself was enormous, nearly a foot in diameter. Each petal looked as if it were carved from crystal, translucent and radiant. The light pink petals swayed gently with the mist rising from the spring. Even though the two of them stood over ten meters away, a faint, elegant fragrance still reached their noses.
When Yue Guan saw the pink flower, his eyes widened in disbelief. He recognized it instantly — the Fragrant Silk Beauty Immortal Herb, known as the bane of all poisons!
It could not detoxify poison directly, but it could resist any toxin — the best defensive herb against poison in the world, though sadly incapable of curing one already poisoned.
Yue Guan's mind went blank. He had read about such immortal herbs in the ancient records of the Spirit Hall, but to see them in person today — it was like witnessing paradise itself for someone like him, a Titled Douluo who adored flowers!
But what made Yue Guan even more excited was not this flower — it was the massive chrysanthemum growing beside the hot spring.
The chrysanthemum glowed with a resplendent purple hue. Strangely, every petal seemed soft and furry, incredibly cute to the eye. The entire flower was seamlessly perfect, yet emitted no fragrance. In its center, the pistil stood half a foot higher than the petals, and its tip shimmered faintly with a golden light.
"This is… the Strange Velvet Sky-Reaching Chrysanthemum!"
Yue Guan's eyes went round. For decades, he had been searching for a single immortal herb capable of advancing his Martial Soul — and this Strange Velvet Sky-Reaching Chrysanthemum was the most suitable, the most perfect herb for him!
If he consumed it, his Martial Soul's unique traits would allow him to cultivate an Indestructible Vajra Body!
"Teacher, it seems you've found the immortal herb that can strengthen your Martial Soul and advance your cultivation." Cheng Xiao suddenly said.
"You knew about this already?" Yue Guan was stunned, his tone filled with disbelief.
Cheng Xiao replied, "Not exactly. I merely noticed that this chrysanthemum looks similar to Teacher's Martial Soul, so I guessed a little."
Yue Guan took a deep breath, and his gaze toward Cheng Xiao softened further. "Xiao Xiao, this time, your teacher truly owes you a great favor."
Hearing this, Cheng Xiao smiled and shook his head. "Teacher owes me nothing. After all, this medicine garden belongs to Elder Dugu."
"Since Teacher has such deep understanding of immortal herbs, why not help Elder Dugu find one that can enhance his Martial Soul as well?"
"You're right." Yue Guan smiled. "Let's help that Old Poison find an immortal herb first. Although he said we could pick freely, I still prefer to have his consent. Your teacher is not some unreasonable brute, after all."
After saying this, Yue Guan began searching through the surrounding immortal herbs. He was determined to find a suitable herb for Dugu Bo — after all, discovering the Strange Velvet Sky-Reaching Chrysanthemum was a heaven-sent fortune for him!
Three days later—
"Cheng Xiao! Chrysanthemum Guan! You two aren't planning to empty out this old man's medicine garden, are you?"
From above, Dugu Bo descended with his Bilin Snake Emperor Martial Soul, and following him was his granddaughter, Dugu Yan.
"Hm? Where are they?" Dugu Bo scanned the area but found no trace of Cheng Xiao or Yue Guan's auras. His heart skipped a beat — don't tell me those two actually cleaned out my entire garden and ran off?
But looking around, aside from a few herbs he didn't recognize that were now missing, most of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well remained unchanged. In fact, it was tidier than before — even cleaner and more organized than the original!
Even the weeds by the hot spring had been cleared — clearly the work of Yue Guan.
"Grandfather, you said that Chrysanthemum Douluo from the Spirit Hall is Cheng Xiao's teacher… you weren't lying to me, were you?" Dugu Yan asked, confused, since she hadn't seen anyone yet.
"No rush, Yanyan." Dugu Bo smiled awkwardly. Then, a wave of powerful soul power burst from him, spreading outward like a tide. In an instant, he sensed a strong fluctuation not far away.
When he brought Dugu Yan over, they finally saw Yue Guan and Cheng Xiao sitting cross-legged beneath a large tree, cultivating.
"It really is a Titled Douluo!" Dugu Yan gasped in disbelief.
After all, Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan's strength was even greater than her grandfather's!
As for the old grudge from back then, Dugu Bo had never told Dugu Yan. He didn't want his descendants to know too much — it would only bring unnecessary trouble.
But now, the worries that had weighed on him for so long… would finally vanish completely from this day onward.
