Chapter 70 Three Methods
After descending from the sky, Huo Yuhao and Dugu Bo arrived around the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.
They stood at the edge of the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, and the scene before them was breathtaking.
The milky white spring water and the crimson spring water intertwine, creating a stunning natural scene.
The steam rising from the springs swirls like a veil between the two streams. One stream is as hot as fire, while the other is as cold as ice, yet they coexist harmoniously and do not encroach upon each other.
Around the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, patches of familiar celestial herbs grew. Nourished by the spring water, these herbs appeared exceptionally vibrant.
Near the icy spring, the finest cordyceps—the snow silkworm—grows densely. These snow silkworms shimmer with a silvery-white light under the sunlight.
Beside the snow silkworm, a large, pale pink flower caught Huo Yuhao's eye. Each petal was as clear and translucent as crystal. It had no leaves, a stem three feet long, and an enormous flower, with a diameter of at least a foot.
The pale pink flowers sway gently in the mist, emitting a captivating fragrance, which is exactly what is meant by "fragrant and exquisite fairy product".
Besides the "Fragrant Jade Tulip," Huo Yuhao also saw many other precious celestial herbs. The Jade Tulip, emitting a unique fragrance, grew quietly at the edge of the spring;
There is also the octagonal ice grass, whose leaves are octagonal and each leaf shimmers with an ice-blue luster;
In addition, there are also the "Wang Chuan Qiu Shui Lu", "Qi Rong Tong Tian Ju", "Xiang Si Duan Chang Hong", "Ba Ban Xian Lan", and so on.
These precious herbs are not only beautiful in appearance, but each one also possesses amazing medicinal effects.
Huo Yuhao stood at the edge of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, gazing intently at the surrounding immortal herbs.
Huo Yuhao was filled with complex emotions. Elder Yi had said that if he wanted to continuously plunder Tang San's luck, then he should start with the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well in front of him. Tang San shouldn't want a single herb here; they would all be his.
Dugu Bo stood beside Huo Yuhao, a hint of confusion on his face. Huo Yuhao's expression seemed to reveal a sense of familiarity with the place, which puzzled him.
"Kid, judging from your expression, you seem to be very familiar with this place," Dugu Bo couldn't help but ask.
Huo Yuhao nodded slightly, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.
"But how is that possible? I've lived here for decades and have never seen you before..."
"Senior Dugu, I've seen this place mentioned in an ancient book before..."
Huo Yuhao interrupted Dugu Bo and continued, "The hot spring in front of us is called the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, one of the three legendary treasure basins that can nurture countless immortal herbs. Moreover, the extreme cold and heat energy here can suppress toxins. Presumably, Senior Dugu was able to cultivate to the level of a Title Douluo because he had the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well to suppress the toxins in his body."
Dugu Bo listened to Huo Yuhao's words and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, because what Huo Yuhao said was exactly right.
"Indeed, I have relied on the extreme temperature around this spring to suppress the poison in my body all these years, but what about the celestial herbs you just mentioned?"
Dugu Bo's tone carried a hint of curiosity and wariness. His eyes were deep, as if they could see into people's hearts, yet at the same time, they revealed a yearning for the unknown.
Huo Yuhao smiled slightly: "Senior Dugu, to be honest, there are at least a dozen immortal herbs growing in this area. Each one is a rare and exquisite specimen, and these exquisite herbs are one of my targets."
"Hehehe, you're telling me all these secrets so frankly, aren't you worried that I'll get greedy?" Dugu Bo's gaze was like a sharp sword, fixed on Huo Yuhao, as if trying to see through his thoughts.
Huo Yuhao, however, remained calm and composed, replying, "Senior Dugu, if I were truly worried, I wouldn't have chosen to travel with you. Moreover, you once swore that if I could cure your poison, you would wholeheartedly become my protector. I believe that Senior Dugu Bo is not the kind of person who goes back on his word."
Actually, there was one more thing Huo Yuhao didn't say: if Dugu Bo really became greedy and wanted to harm him, Huo Yuhao could teach him a lesson in no time.
Gu Yuena didn't even need to make a move. At this distance, all she had to do was put the remains of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm on Dugu Bo's body, and that was it.
"It seems you're determined to help me detoxify." Dugu Bo's voice trembled slightly, and a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes.
"Currently, I have at least three different methods to detoxify you," Huo Yuhao said confidently.
"Three methods! What are they? Tell me." Dugu Bo stared intently at Huo Yuhao, as if trying to find the answer in his eyes.
"The first method is to utilize several of these divine herbs, each with its own unique detoxifying properties. Through proper combination, they can effectively neutralize the toxins in your body," Huo Yuhao began to explain his plan in detail.
"Near the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, there is a herb called 'Azure Spirit Pill' and another herb called 'Purple Heart Grass'. Based on these two herbs, I can create an antidote pill that can completely decompose all the toxins in your body. However…" Huo Yuhao's voice suddenly paused, and he looked at Dugu Bo.
"But what?" Dugu Bo asked eagerly.
"However, your poison skills will also dissipate."
"Then tell me about other methods." A hint of disappointment was in Dugu Bo's voice.
He immediately rejected the first method. After all, his strength came entirely from his poison skills, and if those skills were to dissipate, he would be crippled. He couldn't accept that outcome; he needed a method that could both detoxify him and preserve his poison skills.
Huo Yuhao nodded; he had already anticipated Dugu Bo's reaction. He then began to explain the second method.
"The second method is to find a soul bone of extremely high quality and use it as a carrier for the toxin. This soul bone must be of more than ten thousand years quality. Only in this way can it withstand the erosion of the toxin without collapsing."
"After finding a suitable soul bone, one can use a special cultivation method to force all the toxins in the body into the soul bone."
Huo Yuhao changed the subject and continued, "Although this method is effective, the conditions are very demanding and the risks are also very high. First of all, finding a soul bone of ten thousand years quality or higher is not an easy task. Moreover, once the accumulated amount of toxins reaches a certain level, it is very likely to erupt instantly, which is extremely risky."
"Why don't you tell me about the third method?" Dugu Bo couldn't help but interrupt Huo Yuhao.
After thinking for a while, Dugu Bo finally decided to put the second option on hold as well. He did indeed have a ten-thousand-year-old soul bone, and it was even a Medusa skull that was 60,000 years old.
However, as Huo Yuhao said, there is a risk of a sudden outbreak once the toxins accumulate to a certain level, a risk he cannot withstand.
"The third method is the most time-consuming and painful, but it can completely solve your martial soul's defects and even allow your martial soul to evolve completely. That is, condensing a poison pill and a soul core."
