Chapter 7 The Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire
As they approached the poison array, the effects of the Fragrant Silk Fairy Item became apparent, with a pink light shield rising up ten meters away from it.
Those green poisonous substances could not penetrate this light shield.
And so, the three of them swaggered into the poison array.
Just as they passed through the poison array, a figure flew over from afar and stopped ten meters away.
Judging from his extremely strange green hair and green eyes, as well as the nine spirit rings pulsating around his body, Lin Ye had already confirmed the identity of the newcomer: Poison Douluo—Dugu Bo.
"A soul beast?"
Dugu Bo's gaze instantly fixed on the Ice Empress. The Snow Empress's cultivation was profound, and Dugu Bo couldn't fathom its depth. But he could sense the Ice Empress's aura; this little human girl was clearly a soul beast.
Most importantly, this soul beast is too powerful, terrifying, much more terrifying than a 100,000-year-old soul beast.
He had originally intended to drive away the invading enemy, but who would have thought that the people who came—no, the soul beasts—would be so terrifying? This immediately made him abandon the idea of taking action.
There's no way to beat them, we really can't.
The only result of taking forceful action is that you'll get beaten to death and your ashes will be scattered.
"May I ask what brings you all here?" Dugu Bo asked cautiously, his attitude very humble.
"He... looks so weak!" Hyotei commented as she looked at Dugu Bo.
Dugu Bo: "..."
Although it was frustrating, there was nothing I could do but accept that what they said was the truth.
"Should we kill him?" Hyotei asked Lin Ye again.
Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo was startled, thinking, "I didn't provoke you, so why are you shouting for me to fight as soon as we meet?"
Lin Ye felt that Hyotei was just too outspoken, saying whatever came to mind, and look how scared Dugu Bo was.
He certainly wouldn't target Dugu Bo; there's no need to bother with someone he has no grudge against.
"Dugu Bo, we're going in to pick some herbs, you don't mind, do you?" Lin Ye asked symbolically.
Of course, having opinions is useless; if all else fails, let Hyotei use their fists to talk to the old man.
Dugu Bo was taken aback. "You know me?"
While puzzled, he breathed a sigh of relief; it seemed the other party wasn't planning on harming him. However, it was strange that such a terrifying soul beast would listen to this child.
Soon, the group arrived at the mountaintop, led by Dugu Bo.
Before them lay an inverted cone-shaped valley. The mountaintop where they stood was at the edge of this valley. Thick, humid heat rose from within the valley, carrying a distinctive sulfurous smell.
On a huge rock at the top of the mountain, several large characters were carved: "Lin Mouren was here." However, due to weathering, the characters have become somewhat blurred.
Seeing this, Lin Ye smiled, thinking that this was probably his own masterpiece in the future.
"Is this the place you're looking for?" Hyotei asked.
Lin Ye nodded slightly and pointed to the ravine, "Down there."
"Alright, let's go."
After saying that, Hyotei grabbed Lin Ye by the back of his collar and leaped off the dark, bottomless mountainside in front of him.
"Damn it, slow down, slow down! You're trying to kill me..."
Lin Ye wasn't afraid of heights, but the feeling of weightlessness he experienced made him involuntarily panic.
Hyotei was just trying to scare him; of course, they wouldn't actually let Lin Ye fall to his death. They slowed down as they were about to reach the ground.
The two landed safely.
"I said, I didn't offend you, did I? Why are you picking on me?" Lin Ye asked, still somewhat shaken from his cliff-jumping experience.
Upon hearing this, Hyotei smiled and said, "No, how could that be? Don't overthink it. Besides, as you said, you're still my boss."
It would have been better if she hadn't said anything, because this made Lin Ye even more suspicious. Could it be that his future self had really offended this woman after transmigrating?
Regardless, Lin Ye made a mental note of Bingdi's actions this time, vowing to teach that woman a lesson once he regained his power.
"You said yourself that I'm your boss. How can an employee bully their boss? I'm telling you, this is a one-time exception, or else..."
"What else can you do to me?" Hyotei glared, crossed his arms, and exuded an aura of dominance.
Lin Ye was momentarily speechless. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Otherwise, I won't give you any pocket money anymore."
"You..." Hyotei's expression changed several times, but she finally gave in reluctantly. "Hmph, I know."
She likes good food, and money can buy good food. So she endured it for the sake of good food.
"That's more like it." Lin Ye's mood improved a lot. He really didn't realize in the original story that this guy was such a glutton.
Okay, in the original story, Hyotei was forced to sacrifice herself to Hokusai as soon as she appeared, and never had the chance to taste the delicacies of human society.
Everyone has a need for food, but some people prefer sweets while others prefer spicy food.
Sweet, sour, bitter, spicy, and salty – there's bound to be one that suits you.
Dugu Bo and Xue Di had already come down, but they didn't disturb them.
The interaction between the two made Dugu Bo's expression turn strange. Did the soul beast like money?
After dealing with Hyotei, Lin Ye turned his attention to the pool in front of him. The pool, with its distinct red and white colors, looked like a hot pot with two separate broths from a distance.
This is the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, which all transmigrators come to exploit, and it is also the greatest opportunity in the Douluo Continent.
On the shore of the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, a large number of medicinal herbs grow, including the rare and precious Chrysanthemum, the Phoenix Cockscomb Sunflower, and the Narcissus Jade Bone...
Lin Ye knows most of them.
However, compared to those I have, these are much younger. They are visibly smaller than the batch Lin Ye has.
In the future, after Lin Ye collected most of the Immortal Herbs, he planted their seeds, which is the batch that has grown now.
Lin Ye's gaze shifted to the two immortal herbs of different colors inside the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire.
The Eight-Cornered Ice Grass is a plant that resembles a large white flower, octagonal in shape, with tiny, shimmering stamens in the center like ice crystals.
The other plant is a fiery red apricot, resembling a cabbage.
"Sister Snow Maiden, please help me take that dagger and jade bowl out of the dragon-patterned jade pendant."
Upon hearing this, Xue Di nodded slightly and waved her hand, and two items appeared in Lin Ye's hand.
A dagger forged from fine iron, and a jade bowl.
"Go, take this and help me cut down the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass, you know, that one..." Lin Ye handed the dagger to Bing Di. There was no other way; his small frame really couldn't withstand the cold aura of the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass.
"Don't you have hands?" Hyotei pouted unwillingly.
"Can you do me a favor? I'll take you out for something delicious later."
The method worked perfectly. Hyotei, who had been displeased, took the dagger and happily went to work.
