Chapter 75 The Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire
Xiao Yan had envisioned many ways to reach the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye in his mind. After some persuasion, the other party sincerely invited him to go.
Or, while Dugu Bo is away, he could go to Sunset Forest alone. Although it would cause a lot of noise, his own martial spirit could handle it.
But he never expected that he would be carried on the shoulder of a titled Douluo and rush towards the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well under the cover of night.
"You're quite well-behaved, kid. You haven't made a sound the whole way." Dugu Bo looked at Xiao Yan, becoming more and more interested in this teenager.
"If I say another word in front of Poison Douluo, what if you poison me to death?" Xiao Yan rolled his eyes. If he really wanted to break free, he wouldn't even need to mention that he and Dugu Yan were poisoned. After all, Dugu Bo's first words were that he was there to deliver Jinshui on behalf of the Heaven Dou Royal Family.
He was more than happy to be carried to the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, so how could he possibly cry out for help?
"Hey kid, you were all so disdainful of all poisons earlier, now you know to back down?"
"I've always been a coward, okay? Senior Poison Douluo, I don't have anything on hand right now, how can I detoxify him?" Xiao Yan had some realgar powder and strong liquor on hand in the student dormitory of Tiandou Academy, which could neutralize Dugu Bo's snake venom. At worst, he could shout and the academy teachers would come over, making it inconvenient for Dugu Bo to make a move.
Right now, he and Agumon are being carried on each other's shoulders; life and death are just a matter of the other's thoughts.
"Your martial spirit has quite a strong sense of self. I've seen quite a few separated beast martial spirits, but this one that can never be taken back after it leaves the body is a first."
As Dugu Bo spoke, he patted Agumon on the shoulder. Agumon was quite obedient at the moment. It wasn't that it was immune to Dugu Bo's peculiar odor, but rather that it didn't dare to show too much emotion. Before setting off, Xiao Yan had deliberately told it not to be too aggressive.
"A mutated martial soul, well, anything is understandable." Xiao Yan chuckled, too lazy to explain. After all, the forms of martial souls are ever-changing. Even though Dugu Bo is a titled Douluo with a wealth of knowledge, there are still things he doesn't understand.
Therefore, Xiao Yan's answer was extremely clever. He neither fabricated a story to curry favor with Dugu Bo because of his status, nor was he perfunctory, even though Xiao Yan considered it to be extremely perfunctory.
But Dugu Bo naturally felt that it was understandable for a teenager to have talent in cultivation, but it was normal for him not to understand other aspects of martial spirit.
Before long, Dugu Bo led Xiao Yan past the outer edge of the forest. Looking at the central basin shrouded in mist, Xiao Yan knew that they were about to enter Dugu Bo's little world.
Then Dugu Bo placed him on the ground and gave Xiao Yan a Poison Douluo test no less rigorous than the one Tang San had undergone. However, Xiao Yan was surprised to find that, due to the extreme fire of the Agu Beast within him and the extreme ice of his third soul skill, coupled with the harmonization of the Ice and Snow Emperors, his body seemed to have become somewhat immune to all poisons when activating his third soul skill. Instead, he no longer needed to go to great lengths to detoxify like the original Tang San had.
When these poisons flowed through Xiao Yan's bloodline to the location where his soul power was stored, they were neutralized by the combined forces of ice and fire.
Seeing Xiao Yan's reaction, Dugu Bo stopped bothering him and let him study the place, but he disgustingly forced him to swallow the poison pill.
Although Xiao Yan didn't have any information about poisons or other related topics in the Tang Clan's Hundred Solutions to Hidden Weapons, he could still find immortal herbs by their names. So, he narrowed down his choices to the Fragrant Silk Immortal Herbs and quickly took the Fiery Apricot and the Eight-Cornered Mysterious Ice Grass. The two herbs, with their completely opposite properties, had conflicting effects, but they still made Xiao Yan feel somewhat uncomfortable.
Left with no other choice, he imitated Tang San's actions, stripped off his clothes, and jumped into the Yin-Yang Well...
Xiao Yan's purpose in absorbing these two immortal herbs was not the same as Tang San's, which was to find a way out for himself. Tang San was worried that Dugu Bo would kill him, so he gave himself a way to protect himself in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.
However, Xiao Yan ate these two immortal herbs simply to enhance his physique. With fire and ice attributes within his body, this was naturally the best course of action.
Xiao Yan trusted Dugu Bo's character, and now that things had come to this, he could only place his hopes on himself, the Soul Master, and wouldn't go so far as to kill him.
Furthermore, before heading to the Northern Territory, Xiao Yan might have had to carefully consider which type of immortal herb he wanted to absorb. The best choice would undoubtedly be the Earth Dragon Golden Melon. Since his cultivation level couldn't increase in the short term, combining immortal herbs to strengthen his Agumon was the primary objective. However, now that his third soul ring had been cleansed and could simultaneously possess the power of extreme fire and extreme cold, he was better off with the other option.
I could easily eat the Fiery Apricot and the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass myself, and I even want to try my hand at the Ice and Fire Hot Pot.
After Xiao Yan had completely absorbed the medicinal effects in the Yin-Yang Eye, several days had passed. However, before leaving, he left a note saying that he was going to leave temporarily. Anyway, he was not particularly remembered by others, so he should be fine.
As Xiao Yan was pondering this, a dark shadow was swimming freely above the lake. With a suspicious look on his face, he emerged from his Yin-Yang Eye and saw Agumon floating on the lake.
"Agumon, you... don't you feel anything unusual?" Xiao Yan climbed ashore from the center of the Yin-Yang Well, looking at his martial soul with a surprised expression.
The other party was much taller and thicker than when he had entered the Yin-Yang Eye a while ago.
"The temperature on both sides feels like a tickle to me," Agumon replied contentedly, clearly finding the discomfort less painful than accompanying Xiao Yan as he absorbed the soul ring.
"Did you eat something indiscriminately?" Xiao Yan frowned. There were rules to eating immortal herbs, and it wasn't as simple as Pigsy eating ginseng fruit.
If you dig haphazardly, you might not even achieve 10% of the medicinal efficacy of the herb itself. Furthermore, it will affect its subsequent growth. Even if the plants in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye area grow ten times faster, you still have to be careful. This is the respect that should be shown to this precious land.
"No, I just ate that purple flower with that strange fragrance at the beginning, but the taste of that purple grass was really not good."
Xiao Yan glanced at the fragrant Qiluo Immortal Delicacy, which had only a few petals left, with a hint of pity. "Luckily, you don't taste good, so our Uncle Ya didn't chew you up."
"I saw you weren't coming out, and I was so hungry, so I went and ate two yellow melons."
As he spoke, Agumon, still savoring the taste, let out a burp.
Yellow melons, and they even ate two? These must be the golden melons from the earth dragon that Xiao Yan originally planned.
Xiao Yan shook his head helplessly. This guy really knows how to pick and choose what to eat. But this was something that was in Xiao Yan's plan anyway, so let him eat it.
Stretching wearily, Xiao Yan took out the Ruyi Hundred Treasure Pouch that Dugu Bo had given him a few days ago. Now that he had already satisfied himself with consuming four immortal herbs here, he should think of a way to help others find connections.
