Douluo Continent: The Phoenix God Returns

Chapter 13 The Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire, Subduing Dugu Bo.

The next morning, Ye Li and Bi Ji left Tian Dou City and headed to Sunset Forest to find the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye. The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye was located below a cliff in Sunset Forest. In order to prevent soul beasts or other people from entering his herb garden, Dugu Bo set up a poisonous miasma at the cliff.

Ye Li closed her eyes and sensed which area in the Sunset Forest had a denser energy. "Although I can't know the exact location, I can sense it as long as there are fire elements nearby."

After a while, Ye Li came to his senses and realized that he had now determined the exact location of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

Ye Li roused herself and said to Bi Ji, "Sister Bi Ji, I sense that place. There's poisonous gas around. Be careful."

"Hmm," Brigitte responded. She was now certain that the little phoenix was telling the truth because she had sensed something unusual as soon as she arrived at this place.

The two continued walking for a while and finally approached the outer edge of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye. A layer of emerald green mist enveloped the outer edge of the valley, and nothing grew around it. It was clear to the naked eye how terrifying this poisonous miasma was.

"Sister Brigitte, take me flying up there," Ye Li said.

"Okay." Biji held Ye Li in her arms, and as they flew over the poisonous miasma from the sky, a green protective shield enveloped the two of them.

Just as the two were passing through the poisonous miasma, an old man with long, dark green hair opened his eyes in a cave at the foot of the cliff. "Someone actually managed to find this place?"

The cliff wasn't high, and Biji quickly carried Ye Li down to the bottom of the valley. What appeared before Ye Li was a garden full of fragrance and mild temperature. All kinds of herbs and flowers were blooming, making the whole garden full of vitality. What was even more surprising was that there were two ponds in the center of the garden, one red and one blue, which looked quite beautiful.

"The Yin-Yang Twin Eyes of Ice and Fire, a pair of Yin and Yang, mutually restraining each other, one of the three great treasure troves of Douluo Continent, a rare sight even once in ten thousand years." Ye Li looked at the garden full of herbs and moved to pick them.

At that moment, a slightly hoarse voice sounded behind Ye Li, "To think you could pass through the poisonous miasma unscathed? Interesting."

Ye Li turned her head and looked at the old man in front of her, who was wearing a dark green robe, had long dark green hair, and had snake eyes on his face. "This is Bi Lin Douluo, known as Dugu Bo, the Poison Douluo who dominates the world."

Dugu Bo looked at the two women before him: "I'm a little curious, how did you manage to pass through my poisonous miasma? And do you recognize these herbs?"

Ye Li didn't say anything, took out a token and tossed it to Dugu Bo: "Inject your soul power and see."

Dugu Bo was slightly taken aback when he saw the token, then infused it with his soul power, his pupils widening suddenly: "You are the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall—Ye Li."

"I advise you not to have any improper thoughts," Ye Li said with a smile.

"Do you really think I wouldn't dare kill you?" Dugu Bo asked, his eyes narrowing.

"Since I've managed to get here, I naturally have nothing to fear. My sister, Bi Ji, is a level 98 Title Douluo, so my safety is guaranteed. I'm here to make a deal with you, senior," Ye Li said calmly.

Dugu Bo then realized that there was someone beside the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall whose cultivation level was unfathomable—a level 98 Title Douluo!

Dugu Bo suppressed his inner turmoil and calmly asked, "I wonder what kind of deal Your Majesty wishes to make with me?"

Ye Li looked at Dugu Bo and said, "The terms of the deal are: senior, you just need to give me your medicinal garden, and I can help you get rid of the poison of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent King."

Upon hearing about the Azure Phosphorus Serpent Emperor's Poison, Dugu Bo's heart was immediately filled with shock. The backlash from the Azure Phosphorus Serpent Poison had always been a problem in the Dugu family, and it was unavoidable as long as the awakened martial soul was the inherited Azure Phosphorus Serpent martial soul.

It is precisely because of this that members of the Dugu clan who possess the Azure Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul tend to have shorter lifespans compared to other Soul Masters. As a result, the Dugu clan has always been small and its members have been decreasing. By the time of him, he was the only one left in the entire Dugu clan.

Later, he had a son, but unfortunately, his son could not withstand the backlash of the Azure Phosphorus Serpent venom. Even his daughter-in-law was infected by the backlash of the Azure Phosphorus Serpent venom, and the two died young. Only his young granddaughter, Dugu Yan, was left to depend on Dugu Bo for survival. The Azure Phosphorus Serpent Martial Soul also has a strange characteristic: the higher the soul power realm of the Martial Soul, the more ferocious the backlash of the Azure Phosphorus Serpent venom will be.

Dugu Bo blurted out instinctively, "How...how did you know?"

"Senior Dugu, what do you think could possibly be kept from the Spirit Hall in the Douluo Continent?" Ye Li asked with a slight smile.

"Do you really have a way to solve the problem of the backlash from the Jade Phosphorus Snake venom?" Dugu Bo finally swallowed his pride and asked.

"Of course." Ye Li nodded, then said, "As long as you give me the herb garden in Sunset Forest, I will naturally be able to cure the poison, and your future descendants will definitely not suffer from this problem."

"If you agree to the deal with me, not only will the backlash from the Azure Phosphorus Serpent venom on your body be resolved, but the backlash from the Azure Phosphorus Serpent venom on your beloved granddaughter, Dugu Yan, will also be resolved. If I'm not mistaken, your granddaughter Dugu Yan has been infected with the Azure Phosphorus Serpent venom since she was born. If she is not treated, even I will not be able to save her once the poison takes effect."

"Can you really cure it?" Dugu Bo asked anxiously.

The venom of the blue-scaled snake has tormented him for over a decade. During these years, he would be tormented to the point of near death by the poison every midnight or in rainy weather. If it were only him suffering, it would be one thing, but now his granddaughter also has these symptoms, and he cannot let his granddaughter suffer the same fate as him.

"Junior has no need to tease senior. I can naturally heal you, and senior's strength will not be limited." Ye Li said, taking out a book. He had pestered the Demon King for a long time to get this book. The Demon King was also a master of poison and had unique insights into poison.

Dugu Bo took the book and flipped through a few pages, and knew that Ye Li had not lied to her: "The method of poison pills, what a wonderful method of poison pills."

"Using one's own poison as a guide, gathering it in the abdomen, and activating the soul power, condensing the poison into a pill... one will not be affected by the poison, and the power of the poison will be even greater than before. Over time, one will be ignorant and fearless." Ye Li said, looking at Dugu Bo.

"Dugu Bo thanks the Holy Maiden and is willing to follow her lead." Dugu Bo knelt on one knee before Ye Li. No matter what, she had saved his and his granddaughter's lives, and he would not hesitate to die for her.

"Senior Dugu Bo, you're too kind to this junior. Please get up." Ye Li stepped forward to help him up. "From now on, Senior Dugu can be an elder of my Holy Temple, free from any jurisdiction. The Spirit Hall can use my token as if I were there in person."

Dugu Bo was secretly delighted. He was used to being unrestrained, otherwise he would have joined the Spirit Hall long ago to seek their help. "Thank you, Holy Maiden."

"Senior Dugu, there's no time to lose. You can have your granddaughter practice this technique now," Ye Li said.

Dugu Bo forced a smile and said, "Alright, my granddaughter and I will go to the Spirit Hall once we have controlled the poison." With that, Dugu Bo turned and left.

After a while, Biji looked at Ye Li and said, "Is this why you kept pestering the Demon King to teach you how to control poison?"

"Sister Biji, I was just doing this in case of emergency, and now it's come in handy. I even managed to subdue a Title Douluo," Ye Li said with a smile.
