Dugu Bo, being a regular here, was familiar to the Soul Beasts' auras.
They all cowered, unwilling to seek death.
The path was unobstructed, leading directly to the center of the Sunset Forest.
He passed through the poison barrier he had set up.
He arrived at the top of a mountain.
Before he got close.
Thick, hot air was already rising from within the mountain's peak.
Closer inspection revealed that the mountaintop had collapsed, resembling a volcanic crater.
The rising steam carried a scent of sulfur, but it wasn't scorching or dry; instead, it was quite humid.
It was the unique steam of a hot spring.
The four of them descended directly into the crater.
What met their eyes was a hot spring with a diameter of several meters. The water was milky white on one side and vermilion red on the other, distinctly separated like a Taiji diagram.
It was none other than the Eyes of Ice and Fire, one of the three great treasure troves for medicinal herbs!
It was formed after the Water Dragon King and the Fire Dragon King, two of the nine Dragon Kings of the God Realm, perished here, ultimately nourishing all things.
Tang Lan scanned the area.
Around the Eyes of Ice and Fire, various plants thrived.
Based on the medicinal records in his mind, Tang Lan identified the immortal herbs one by one.
Infernal Delicate Apricot, Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, and Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew.
These four were the ones he had earmarked.
Also present were Snowy Swan Kiss, Lovesick Heartbreak Red, Aromatic Silk Beauty, Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower, Eight-Petaled Immortal Orchid, and Nine-Grade Purple Ganoderma.
The outer circle consisted of Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Herbs.
As for the thousand-year ones, they were countless.
This is the Eyes of Ice and Fire!
The allure of the three great treasure basins!
Tang Lan's eyes shone, but he tried his best to restrain himself.
It would all be his sooner or later, no need to rush.
Under Dugu Bo's watch, Tang Lan came to the Aromatic Silk Beauty.
No need to worry about any harvesting methods, he used his mental power to cut off its roots.
Simple and crude.
He left the roots in place to continue growing.
He then picked the Snowy Swan Kiss.
After that, he went to the fire eye and cut off three Ten-Thousand-Year Fire Ganoderma.
Only then did he return to Dugu Bo.
Carefully, he cut off two petals of the Aromatic Silk Beauty and stored the rest in the Blue King.
— Tang Lan had specifically created a small space within the Blue King to hold air and store spirit herbs.
He also cut off two long sections of the Snowy Swan Kiss's stems and leaves.
He gave one portion to Dugu Bo and one to Dugu Yan.
"This pink one, called the Aromatic Silk Beauty, can't detoxify on its own, but it can counteract poison."
"I believe you've already felt it."
"The Jade Phosphorous Serpent poison hidden within you will be driven out by it."
"At this time, guide the snake venom and infuse it into your Soul Bones."
"Although this process is slow, the advantage is that it won't weaken your snake venom, thus preventing a decline in your strength."
Both grandfather and granddaughter closed their eyes.
They were feeling the "flowing Jade Phosphorous Serpent poison" and attempting to guide it, infusing it into their Soul Bones.
It actually worked!
Dugu Bo reopened his eyes, staring at Tang Lan with a complex expression.
No wonder Tang Lan chose this place for treatment!
So, he's just using two petals from a spirit herb in his own medicine garden?
And that's it?
The price is the entire medicine garden!
Just...
He was clearly here first! Yet, he was guarding a treasure mountain, but didn't know how to use it. This feeling of being crushed by knowledge made him extremely frustrated!
"And those white leaves?" Dugu Bo's voice was hoarse. "To help me break through my bottleneck?"
"That's called Snowy Swan Kiss." Tang Lan said with a smile, "It's not poisonous itself, but just a tiny bit of it can multiply the potency of a poison a thousandfold."
Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan looked over sharply!
Multiply the potency of a poison a thousandfold? Then their Jade Phosphorous Serpent poison...
"That's right, it's exactly what you're thinking." Tang Lan confirmed. "After your Jade Phosphorous Serpent poison is almost cleared, release a little bit of the serpent poison, and then consume a tiny bit of Snowy Swan Kiss. It will then multiply throughout your body again."
Good heavens!
They're supposed to use their own bodies to repeatedly cultivate the Jade Phosphorous Serpent poison? That process... It would certainly be incredibly painful!
However, this was the case.
Neither the grandfather nor the granddaughter could refuse.
—The stronger the Jade Phosphorous Serpent's poison, the stronger their combat ability would naturally be!
"Then what about the breakthrough to overcome my bottleneck, as you promised?" Dugu Bo asked. "Just increasing the Jade Phosphorous Serpent's poison won't help me break through."
"Don't be so impatient, old poison." Tang Lan sent out a mental light sphere. "Take a look at this."
Dugu Bo cautiously absorbed the mental light sphere.
His expression changed! He blurted out, "Nine Yang Divine Skill? Isn't this a fire attribute Soul Power cultivation technique? Can I even practice it?"
That's right.
What Tang Lan gave was the first two levels of the Nine Yang Divine Skill.
It just so happened that the Easy-Change Classic could cleanse his meridians, which would naturally break through his bottleneck.
As for Dugu Bo's question... Tang Lan shrugged.
"You've already forced the Jade Phosphorous Serpent's poison into your Soul Bone. Your Soul Power is now attribute-less, so what's the problem with converting it to fire attribute?"
"Fire poison is much fiercer than snake venom." Dugu Bo was completely stunned!
Could it be played like this?
But after thinking about it carefully, it made perfect sense!
Before he could say anything, Tang Lan stuffed three Ten-Thousand-Year Fire Ganoderma into Dugu Bo's hands.
"Take this when you cultivate the second layer. It will speed things up."
"If you're fast, you could break through in half a month."
"I'll allow your Jade Phosphorous Serpent clan to select one person from each generation to learn the second layer of the Nine Yang Divine Skill."
"If I find out that it's being spread to outsiders, don't blame the Tang Sect for turning hostile."
Dugu Bo held the Ten-Thousand-Year Fire Ganoderma, his expression extremely complex.
Although what Tang Lan had given him was far inferior to the Eyes of Ice and Fire.
But!
A bird in hand is worth two in the bush.
He didn't even recognize those spirit herbs.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have suffered the torment of his poisonous skills for decades in vain.
He exhaled deeply.
Dugu Bo said earnestly, "Then this medicinal garden will belong to you from now on."
Without any hesitation.
Dugu Bo, with Dugu Yan, was about to leave.
Tang Lan, however, said with a smile, "Old Poison, do you want to join the Tang Sect and become an elder?"
Without thinking, Dugu Bo instinctively wanted to refuse.
"I can let Dugu Yan become an inner disciple." Tang Lan added, "In the future, the Jade Phosphorous Serpent clan can choose one person from each generation to join the inner sect without conditions. And one person can be chosen to join the outer sect every year, also without conditions."
Dugu Bo choked on the words that were about to leave his mouth!
The wonders of the Tang Sect, he, as the only Title Douluo in the Heaven Dou Empire, knew all about them.
He understood it deeply.
The Tang Sect and the Heaven Dou Empire were already completely tied together.
Even if the Heaven Dou Empire fell, the Tang Sect could still stand tall—because the next empire would also need weapons and communication.
To tie the Jade Phosphorous Serpent clan to the Tang Sect... To put it bluntly, they were the ones who were climbing up.
After much hesitation.
Dugu Bo bluntly threw out a sentence: "Wait until I confirm that the method you gave me is not a problem, then we'll talk about these things!"
Dugu Yan was taken away, fleeing as if escaping.
It was terrifying!
Not only had this kid plundered his medicinal garden, but now he was targeting the two of them?
The main point was...
He couldn't refuse at all!
Watching the two of them leave.
Tang Hao, who had been a background character the whole time, trembled and spoke, "L-Little Lan, where should we bury Ah Yin?"
Hmm...
Why did that sound so strange?
Tang Lan set off again.
He arrived beside the Eyes of Ice and Fire and stopped at the junction of the fire eye and the ice eye.
"This is the best place, and also the safest."
Tang Hao swallowed, his throat dry.
Nervously, he took out the Blue Silver Emperor. He dug a hole with his bare hands, carefully placed it in, and then gently covered it with soil.
He didn't dare to blink, fearing something might happen to Ah Yin.
But the reality was...
Not only did Ah Yin not have any problems, but she spread out her branches and leaves, as if stretching.
A layer of luster rippled across the patterns on her surface.
Her life force gradually grew stronger.
Tang Lan simultaneously activated the Blue Silver Domain, activating the Life Soul Heart. While his internal energy was consumed in large quantities, he spread a message outwards.
\n\nA moment later.
Dense points of light surged from all directions of the Sunset Forest.
This was the Blue Silver Grass people, offering their gifts to their Emperor!
Ah Yin also accepted everything without refusal, devouring all the Blue Silver energy.
Her body began to slowly grow, at a speed visible to the naked eye.
From Tang Lan's calves, it grew to his waist, then to his chest, and finally surpassed his height.
Tang Hao opened his eyes in surprise, about to speak, when\n\nhe felt a tightness on his body, he was being wrapped.
But it wasn't Ah Yin, it was Tang Lan.
Tang Hao realized something.
He proactively released his Nine Yang Divine Skill inner strength, allowing the Life Soul Heart Blue Silver Emperor to absorb it and assist Tang Lan in maintaining the scale of the Blue Silver Domain.
Watching Ah Yin grow stronger, Tang Hao burst into tears of joy!
"It really works!"
"Ah Yin! You can really resurrect!"
"My Ah Yin!"
"Waaah—"
Tang Lan had no interest in watching a macho man cry.
Maintaining the Blue Silver Domain, he turned around.
A happy smile appeared on his face.
Time to harvest!
