Chapter 25 The Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire
The Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye is located in the Sunset Forest. It takes two whole days to get there from Heaven Dou City, and even then, it's only with Sword Douluo leading the way.
Although Sunset Forest is not as powerful as Star Dou Great Forest, it still has many powerful soul beasts. Without the protection of a powerful Title Douluo, ordinary soul masters would be in danger of dying if they tried to enter the core area.
Following the guidance of the dust, the group gradually approached a valley.
Suddenly, the Sword Douluo leading the way let out a long howl.
A few seconds later, another long howl came from the valley, as if in response to Sword Douluo's call.
Ning Fengzhi recognized the voice and said with a smile, "It's Poison Douluo! He really is here. Chen Feng, you truly are a prophet!"
The next second, as if to confirm Ning Fengzhi's words, a figure as swift as the wind suddenly rushed over, skimming the ground.
"Ning Fengzhi, Jian Daochenxin, it's been a long time. What brings my granddaughter here?"
Dugu Bo's powerful voice came through.
This titled Douluo, renowned for his unparalleled poison skills, wore a gray robe and appeared tall and slender, like a javelin. His beard and hair were dark green, and his eyes resembled dark green gemstones.
However, his expression was very unnatural at this moment. Dugu Yan followed these two to her "secret base," and it looked like she was being held hostage.
"Are they here to interrogate us? What terrible trouble has Yan Yan gotten herself into? Has she offended the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School? And how did they find out about this place?"
Dugu Bo's suspicious eyes darted back and forth, unable to figure it out no matter what.
Ning Fengzhi greeted him with a smile, "Long time no see, Dugu Bo."
Sword Douluo was even less polite, "Old Poisoner, we came to see if you were dead yet, to collect your corpse. We didn't expect you to still be alive!"
Dugu Bo snorted coldly and said, "Even if you die, I won't die. Just say what you have to say. I don't have time to chat with you... Yan Yan, come to Grandpa's side quickly."
Upon hearing this, Dugu Yan obediently went over.
Seeing that there was no obstruction, Dugu Bo finally felt relieved. This at least meant that Dugu Yan had not been taken hostage to negotiate terms.
Ning Fengzhi clasped his hands in a fist and said, "Dugu Bo, you and I are old acquaintances. Let me introduce you to someone, Chen Feng, an honorary elder of my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."
"Ning Fengzhi, what do you mean? This little kid looks even younger than my granddaughter, and you actually let him be an elder of your sect?" Dugu Bo couldn't help but laugh, a hoarse sound coming from deep in his throat.
Ning Fengzhi looked at Chen Feng and nodded.
Chen Feng stepped forward, clasped his hands in greeting, and nodded slightly, saying, "Greetings, Senior Poison Douluo. To be honest, I have something to discuss with you. Sect Master Ning and Grandpa Sword are just accompanying me."
"Oh? What do you need me for?"
"see a doctor!"
"Ha! I'm no doctor. What illness do you have? I'm afraid I'm powerless to help you." Dugu Bo shook his head.
Chen Feng pointed at him and Dugu Yan, and said, "Senior, you've misunderstood. It's not that I'm sick, it's that you and your granddaughter are sick! I'm here to treat you!"
"Nonsense!" Poison Douluo shouted on the spot.
Chen Feng wasn't angry. Instead, he smiled and said, "Senior, please calm down. I didn't mean to insult you. I came here because of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent King's venom."
As soon as he finished speaking, Dugu Bo's eyelids twitched noticeably, clearly indicating that Chen Feng's words had struck a chord with him.
"Whether you're sick or not isn't something you can just say. Although you've cultivated the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor Martial Soul to the Title Douluo level, the toxins have also invaded your limbs and bones."
"To put it bluntly, senior, your illness is already terminal. Even if it could be cured, the hope is probably slim. But senior, don't you think about your descendants?"
As Chen Feng spoke, he looked in the direction of Dugu Yan.
Poison Douluo glanced at Dugu Yan, then looked at Chen Feng suspiciously, and remained silent.
Chen Feng wasn't worried at all. He knew that Dugu Bo must be having a fierce internal struggle, and he had no other choice. If he could cure the poison himself, he would have succeeded long ago, and his son wouldn't have died. Why did it have to drag on until now?
"Boy, why should I believe you?" After a brief moment of thought, Poison Douluo slowly spoke.
Chen Feng smiled and said, "If you are willing to believe me, I can prepare some medicine for you. You will know whether it is effective or not after you try it. If you do not believe me, then no matter how much I say, it will be useless. I can only tell you upfront that you should not wait until it is incurable before coming to me, because by then, I will be helpless."
After saying that, Chen Feng put his hands behind his back and looked away, quietly waiting for Dugu Bo's answer.
"Kid, tell me your terms. No one in the world will help others out of kindness. You must have something on your mind," Dugu Bo said, while also preparing himself for the other party to make an exorbitant demand.
In Dugu Bo's view, since the other party knew him so well, they must have him figured out.
To his surprise, Chen Feng simply smiled and said, "Of course I have conditions. My condition is that I ask senior to allow me to gather a few immortal herbs from your herb garden."
"What? Kid, do you know how difficult it is to cure the poison in my body? You only want a few herbs?" Dugu Bo shouted loudly, wondering if he had misheard.
Moreover, where would such a miraculous herb come from in my own herb garden?
If there really were such a miraculous herb, I would have used it long ago!
Chen Feng said firmly, "That's right, these are my conditions. To be honest, there are a few immortal-level herbs in your herb garden. Perhaps you are unaware of their existence, or their wonderful uses, but you only need to know that they are very helpful to me."
Chen Feng spoke frankly, not wanting to hide anything.
He didn't want to be like Tang San, ruining other people's herb gardens and then making it seem like Poison Douluo owed him a huge favor.
"Young man, could you show me what kind of immortal herb you're looking for? To be honest, I recognize every single herb here, but I don't know what an immortal herb is. Show me what it is, and I'll believe you," Dugu Bo said.
Chen Feng nodded and said okay.
The group walked together into the valley.
This is an inverted cone-shaped mountain valley. Below the cliff, the smell of sulfuric acid wafts through the air, and thick water mist rises, making one feel as if they are standing in a fairyland, yet it is also fraught with danger, and one cannot see clearly what is under their feet.
Chen Feng immediately activated his Sword Dao Heavenly Eye. Without the blessing of his previous life's soul bone, his Heavenly Eye was only at the initial stage, but even so, it was enough to penetrate the water mist.
Below the cliff, there is a pool of water that is a truly remarkable sight.
In the oval-shaped pool, the water was divided into vermilion and milky white. Even more strangely, although they coexisted in the same pool, they were clearly separated and did not encroach on each other, always remaining on their own side.
It is the eye of both ice and fire!
