As a transmigrator, Lin Xishan had all the resource points in the Douluo World well in mind. Coupled with the continent-wide map surveyed by specialists from Spirit Hall, he was confident that even if he could not get every single one, he could at least secure most of them.
He was currently in a small county town on the outskirts of Baojian City. After thinking for a while and weighing the pros and cons, Lin Xishan finally decided to go to the Sunset Forest first.
First, it was uncertain whether Tianmeng Iceworm had escaped yet; if not, it was definitely not something he could touch right now. Second, calculating the days, he was eleven years old now, and the Spirit awakening of Tang San was about to happen. It would be easier to handle Dugu Bo before Tang San emerged.
Regarding the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, the plan of Lin Xishan was simple: if he encountered Dugu Bo, he would copy the homework of Tang San, have him force the poison into his Spirit Bone, then use Universe Reversal to reverse the poison into an antidote in his hand for Dugu Bo to consume.
If he did not encounter him, then oh well, it would just be a matter of convenience.
Once his mind was made up, the drive of Lin Xishan was high. He withdrew some gold coins from the bank, bought a domesticated horse-type Spirit Beast, and galloped all the way along the road heading north.
It was not that he was unwilling to hire a carriage; he just preferred the joy of galloping on horseback.
By the time he crossed the Vikesiluoke Plain and entered the city of Xiwiers in the Kingdom of Xiwiers, Lin Xishan had been out for more than three months.
From Xiwiers City, heading slightly west and north, one would reach the Sunset Forest.
Lin Xishan looked at the location of the Sunset Forest on the map, then narrowed his eyes.
Tomorrow, he would go find the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
Lin Xishan recalled the appearance of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well from his previous life once more, then lay down to rest.
The next day, Lin Xishan finally understood the gap between ideals and reality.
The Sunset Forest was far smaller than the Star Dou Great Forest on the map, but walking through it was truly exhausting.
Activating his Spirit manifestation, he quickly flew up to a tree, channeled his spirit power to moisten his eyes, and then slowly looked around.
After some searching, he finally found the hill, about five hundred meters high, as described in the original work.
Rushing up, Lin Xishan kept his Spirit manifestation active the entire time. Although he was not far from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, it also meant that the probability of encountering Dugu Bo was rising sharply, so he naturally had to be careful.
"Where did this wild brat come from, daring to trespass into the villa of this old man!"
A rough voice suddenly rang out, and then a violent wave of spirit power pressed down toward Lin Xishan.
"Third Spirit Ability, Merge into Darkness." Lin Xishan sighed in his heart, but there was no other way at this moment. He could only silently activate his life-saving Spirit Ability, his figure flashed, and he quickly retreated.
"Yellow, purple, purple, black, black. Kid, it is not easy to have such cultivation at your young age. Get lost now, and this old man will not hold it against you." Dugu Bo said in a deep voice.
Lin Xishan also looked at Dugu Bo. This man did not have the good looks from the comic version; his figure was thin and long, looking like a javelin. His hair and beard were actually dark green, and his eyes shone like emeralds.
Dugu Bo was also very annoyed at this moment. His granddaughter had just had trouble with her cultivation today, and he was just trying to find a way to help her, when he happened to run into a brat running around here.
He had originally wanted to kill him with one move and be done with it, but he did not expect this brat to actually have the cultivation of a Spirit King!
A Spirit King. If a young man or a middle-aged person had this cultivation, Dugu Bo would not even look at him and would just slap him to death. But Lin Xishan looked about the same age as his granddaughter!
This was terrifying. To have such cultivation at this age, there was only one possibility: this brat was a disciple of some major power.
He, Dugu Bo, could act alone and not fear trouble, but his granddaughter could not!
"You must be Dugu Bo, the senior Poison Douluo!" Lin Xishan walked out of the darkness at this moment, then raised an eyebrow and asked.
"Whose disciple are you? What exactly do you want to do?" Dugu Bo looked at Lin Xishan and asked, slightly restraining his killing intent.
"Whose disciple this junior is, is actually not important. What is important is that this junior can help you, senior." Lin Xishan said.
"A joke, help me? Do you know that if I wanted to, killing you would only take an instant!" Dugu Bo gritted his teeth and said.
"Oh, then if I can take three of your moves, would you be able to sit down and have a proper talk with me?" Lin Xishan asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Kid, you are looking for death yourself, do not blame anyone!" After Dugu Bo finished speaking, he flicked the middle finger of his right hand toward Lin Xishan. A pale green mist arrived quietly and spread in an instant, just enough to envelop the body of Lin Xishan.
Lin Xishan was unhurried. He placed his hands together, and his first spirit ring flashed.
Universe Reversal!
Between his hands, a powerful suction force appeared, absorbing all of the pale green poisonous mist and transforming it into a pure white ball of light.
"This is!"
Laymen watch the spectacle, while experts watch the technique. Just with this one move, Dugu Bo already sensed something extraordinary.
"This is my Spirit Ability, Universe Reversal, which can reverse the attributes of the attack of the opponent and use it for my own purposes." Lin Xishan said calmly.
"Reverse attributes." The shock in the eyes of Dugu Bo had not faded since just now. He then realized that what the youth in front of him said about helping him might really not be bragging.
"How do you want to help me?" Dugu Bo suddenly asked.
"What about the other two attacks?" Lin Xishan asked, puzzled.
"I will just concede that part." At this moment, Dugu Bo did not care at all about the dignity of a strong person or any bullshit face. He waved his hand swaggeringly. "Let us just talk about how to help me."
"I have two ideas right now. One is for you to force all your poison into a certain container in your body, and I will help you extract it, reverse it outside your body, and then put it back. After you refine it, you naturally will not have to worry about being poisoned again." Lin Xishan said. "Because with your lifespan, you will not last until the toxins overcome these anti-toxins."
"And the other way?" Dugu Bo asked with a hint of suspicion in his eyes.
"The second way is for you to fuse all your pure spirit power into your inner core, then take out the inner core, and let me reverse your dantian to completely change the attributes of your Spirit." Lin Xishan said.
"Kid, you want there to be no Poison Douluo left in the World!" Dugu Bo said unhappily.
"Senior, you may not know this, but in the natural World, most pythons are non-venomous, and those that can truly eat humans are also mostly pythons. The strongest scorpions in the World, the Ice Jade Scorpion clan, also abandoned poison and focused on ice to reach the pinnacle." Lin Xishan said. "Poison is, after all, a minor path, merely a trick."
Dugu Bo looked at Lin Xishan with some hesitation, then frowned, feeling that what this kid said made sense, but he always felt that something was wrong.
He had walked this path for a lifetime, and now a brat was saying that this entire path was just so-so and could not be brought to the table; this was truly uncomfortable...
