—------------------—
This happened to help Shi Quan, who was struggling to find a reason to stay at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
Sensing the medicinal power.
Isn't this a perfect reason delivered right to his doorstep?
With his eyes slightly lowered, Shi Quan circulated his Internal Energy, and while Cultivating, he called out to the System in his mind.
"Open the storage space."
As his words fell, the image of the storage space appeared in Shi Quan's mind.
His gaze landed on the last grid.
It was a bronze Pill Furnace, simple in style, with three legs, two ears, a round top, and its entire body densely covered with various incomprehensible patterns and runes.
Automated Alchemy Furnace: From a high-tech cultivation World, a perfect combination of technology and Alchemy. It can automatically absorb medicinal essence and perform Alchemy according to user needs.
Note: This item is consumable, usable three times. The host needs to provide the herbs required for Alchemy, and the effect of the Medicinal Pill is related to the herbs.
One word.
Awesome!
What a Pill Furnace! It only requires herbs, everything else is fully automated. Individual herbs are nowhere near as powerful as Medicinal Pills. Now with this Pill Furnace, why should he worry about Immortal Herbs? Just use the Pill Furnace to refine all the Immortal Herbs he wants into Medicinal Pills, wouldn't that solve everything?
As expected, everything from the System is a masterpiece.
"As long as I help Dugu Yan resolve her poisoning issue, Immortal Herbs won't be a problem. Then, I'll get a Tenfold Perfect Great Restoration Pill, and I'll just take off."
Suppressing the excitement in his heart, he still needed to Cultivate first, to make his Blue Silver Grass Martial Spirit resonate with the surrounding plants, and to make Dugu Bo believe what he had just said.
Clearing his thoughts, as the Divine Skill operated, the sensation of alternating hot and cold also lessened. The energy from all around continuously surged into Shi Quan's body.
Refreshing!
The environment of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was exceptionally suited for Shi Quan's Cultivation of the Nine Yin Nine Yang Divine Skill. Shi Quan quickly immersed himself in Cultivation, and the Blue Silver Grass, emitting a faint blue light, slowly extended out. In less than an hour, it had almost completely occupied the entire Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, with the faint blue light intermingling with numerous medicinal herbs.
When Dugu Bo saw this scene, a hint of shock flashed in his eyes.
"Is this top-tier mimetic environment Cultivation? No, it's even stronger."
Dugu Bo looked at this scene with a mix of surprise and disbelief. The so-called top-tier mimetic environment Cultivation means that when Cultivating in an environment most suitable for oneself, one completely merges with the surrounding environment, becoming a part of it. This not only speeds up Cultivation but also makes one's Martial Spirit purer, with all attributes evenly strengthened.
However, in Shi Quan's state, he not only became a part of the environment, but also made the entire environment seemingly become his aid. With such a Cultivation method, it was no wonder his Martial Spirit would evolve.
"The water and fire Qi here are indeed extremely poisonous to living beings, but for plants, it's a treasure land. This kid's body can adapt here, it seems to be definitely related to his Martial Spirit."
Dugu Bo looked down at the gently swaying Blue Silver Grass beneath his feet and muttered, "Is his Blue Silver Grass really just ordinary Blue Silver Grass? Even if it mutated, it wouldn't be this exaggerated, right?"
Seemingly sensing something, Dugu Bo looked up towards the sky, and with a slight push of his foot, his figure instantly soared into the air.
Inside the cave.
Dugu Yan slowly woke up from her Cultivation.
"Grandpa, I succeeded! And my spirit power also increased by one level!" Dugu Yan excitedly stood up and shared her joy with Dugu Bo.
"Our Yan Yan is truly amazing," Dugu Bo affectionately stroked Dugu Yan's head.
Dugu Yan, not seeing Shi Quan, curiously asked, "By the way, Grandpa, where's Shi Quan? Where did he go?"
"He's Cultivating outside. Yan Yan, haven't you always been curious about what Grandpa has been hiding from you? Grandpa will tell you today."
Soon, Shi Quan was about to start attempting to expel the poison for Dugu Yan, so it was time to tell Dugu Yan about the poisoning.
After Dugu Bo clearly explained the whole story, Dugu Yan's face visibly paled. She bit her lip and said, "Grandpa, you mean, even you are poisoned as well?"
"That's right," Dugu Bo sighed helplessly, comforting her, "But Yan Yan, you don't have to worry. Grandpa has long been used to it after all these years. Now that Shi Quan can help you with your Martial Spirit problem, Grandpa is already very happy."
Dugu Yan's eyes were red as she anxiously said, "How could this be? Since Shi Quan can help me solve my Martial Spirit problem, why can't he help Grandpa as well?"
"Yan Yan, Grandpa's situation is much more complicated than yours. It's not that easy to solve. But don't worry, Shi Quan is also a good child. Although he doesn't have the ability to detoxify Grandpa now, he has always been helping Grandpa think of ways to solve the Martial Spirit problem."
"Really? Grandpa, you're not lying to me?"
Dugu Yan looked at Dugu Bo with red eyes. Seeing this, Dugu Bo felt even more heartache and earnestly said, "Of course it's true, how could Grandpa lie to you?"
"Hmph, you said you wouldn't lie to me, but you hid such an important matter from me for so long."
"Grandpa just wanted Yan Yan to grow up happily, didn't he?"
Dugu Yan wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and looked at Dugu Bo earnestly, saying, "Grandpa, no matter what happens in the future, you must tell me. You are my only family now, and I don't want anything to happen to you. Yan Yan is not little anymore, and I can help you share the burden."
"Good, good, our Yan Yan has grown up. In the future, if anything happens, Grandpa will definitely tell you." Dugu Bo tightly embraced Dugu Yan.
For Dugu Bo, with Dugu Yan's words, all the hardships, fatigue, and sacrifices of his old bones were worth it.
"Yan Yan, let me tell you about the poison..." Dugu Bo then explained the steps and methods for solving her Martial Spirit problem.
"Expel all the toxins into the Spirit Bone?"
Dugu Yan touched her chest and asked, "So, Grandpa, you disappeared for three months to find a Spirit Bone for Yan Yan?"
"Yes, fortunately, I was lucky enough to find not only a Bilin Snake Spirit Bone, but also the best torso bone. With this Spirit Bone, the toxins in your body will definitely not be a problem."
"Thank you, Grandpa."
"Thank me for what? Isn't this what Grandpa should do?" Dugu Bo said with a chuckle.
"Let's go. That fellow Shi Quan should be finishing his Cultivation soon. Once he's done, we can start the first detoxification."
Dugu Bo took Dugu Yan to the top of the mountain and did not rush to take Dugu Yan down to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. Instead, he quietly sensed, confirming that Shi Quan was about to awaken, and only then did he take Dugu Yan and leap down.
"The Qi here is so uncomfortable." As soon as she landed, Dugu Yan's face changed. She was not like Shi Quan; the extreme water and fire forces around her were utterly poisonous to her.
"Shi Quan, wake up and get up. Yan Yan can't stay here for long." Dugu Bo's spirit power constantly probed Dugu Yan's condition, and once Dugu Yan showed signs of not being able to bear it, he would immediately take Dugu Yan away from the place.
"Coming, Grandpa Dugu." Shi Quan quickly got up and strode towards Dugu Yan.
With Dugu Yan's strength, she could only stay in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well for at most half an hour. Any longer, and it could damage her Foundation.
"Dugu Yan, circulate your spirit power while sitting cross-legged, following my spirit power's guidance."
At Shi Quan's signal, Dugu Yan immediately sat cross-legged. Shi Quan summoned his Blue Silver Grass Martial Spirit, placed it on Dugu Yan's hands, and his Internal Energy slowly flowed into Dugu Yan's body.
That scorching sensation came, and compared to the last time, this time it was even more scorching, causing Dugu Yan to tremble all over.
"Dugu Yan, don't space out. Circulate your spirit power along with mine."
Under Shi Quan's reminder and guidance, Dugu Yan quickly regained her composure and began to circulate her spirit power along with his.
The characteristics of the Divine Skill's Internal Energy also manifested at this moment. The toxins within Dugu Yan's body were gradually forced out.
Under the suppression of the water and fire Qi, these toxins couldn't cause any waves. They were directly suppressed by the water and fire Qi without even a chance to backlash.
Throughout the entire process, Shi Quan's Internal Energy was forcing out the toxins from the front, while Dugu Yan's spirit power was transferring the toxins into the Spirit Bone from behind.
With the two working together, everything went smoothly.
Dugu Bo constantly monitored everything within Dugu Yan's body. Upon noticing the toxins within Dugu Yan's body slowly integrating into the Spirit Bone, the tense expression on his face slowly faded, replaced by joy.
Half an hour passed quickly, and to be on the safe side, Dugu Bo interrupted the two.
The extremely cold and hot Qi had no effect on Shi Quan, but it was different for Dugu Yan. To be on the safe side and to avoid being too hasty, the first detoxification session concluded here.
Dugu Bo directly took the two back to the mountaintop. Dugu Yan's face alternated between green and red, and after coming out, she immediately sat cross-legged to Cultivate again.
Shi Quan proactively summoned his Martial Spirit to help Dugu Yan alleviate the water and fire forces within her body. In just a short while, Dugu Yan recovered.
"How do you feel, Yan Yan? Are there any discomforts?" Dugu Bo looked at Dugu Yan with concern.
"Grandpa, I feel incredibly light all over, as if the shackles on my body have been released." Dugu Yan looked at Shi Quan with excitement, "Thank you, Shi Quan."
Shi Quan said with a smile, "You're welcome. Who told us we were partners?"
The more Dugu Bo looked at Shi Quan now, the more pleasing he found him. Young, with excellent talent, strength, Heart-Nature, and wisdom in all aspects. How could such a good child be someone else's child?
However...
Dugu Bo looked at Shi Quan, then at Dugu Yan. Who said someone else's child couldn't become his own? Since he already called him Grandpa, wouldn't it be a matter of course for him to become his Grandpa Dugu's grandson-in-law?
As this thought arose, a faint smile appeared on Dugu Bo's lips. He thought to himself, he must ask Dugu Yan about her feelings for Shi Quan when they returned. If they were good, then he would find an opportunity to set them up. Wouldn't they be a family then?
