Douluo Continent: Starting from Tianshui Academy

Chapter 55 Intercepting the Immortal Herb

Nothing happened that night. With Lan Yinhuang as his security guard, Ye Liangchen slept very well. The next morning, Lan Yinhuang's voice echoed in his mind.

"Xiao Chen, wake up."

Ye Liangchen had no choice but to get up and start washing up. Now that he had the Blue Silver Emperor, he didn't need to pitch a tent when spending the night in the wild.

"Sister Yin, thank you for your hard work."

"You're welcome. Where are you planning to go today, Xiao Chen?"

"Continue searching in the Sunset Forest; perhaps we'll stumble upon some rare and precious treasures."

"Alright, let's go then!"

Ye Liangchen activated his external soul bone, flying directly into the sky and traversing between towering mountains to easily find the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye.

Half a day later, Ye Liangchen stood on a high mountain, spreading his divine sense to investigate everything in the distant forest.

"Xiao Chen, I sensed the presence of a powerful figure three thousand meters away through the Blue Silver Grass in the forest."

Just then, the Blue Silver Emperor, which was perched on Ye Liangchen's shoulder, sent a message.

"A powerful figure? Most likely a Title Douluo."

Upon hearing Lan Yinhuang's words, Ye Liangchen knew without a doubt that it must be Dugu Bo. After searching for so many days, he had finally found the answer.

"A Title Douluo? Then Xiao Chen should be careful and not go rashly."

"Xiao Chen, send me to your mysterious space."

Ah Yin felt terrified whenever she heard the words "Title Douluo." In her past life, she had died because of a Title Douluo, and now she trembled all over whenever she heard the word "Title Douluo."

"Don't worry, Sister Yin, I'll be careful."

With a thought, Ye Liangchen sent the Blue Silver Emperor directly into the game's pet space. This Blue Silver Emperor was like someone who had been bitten by a snake once and was now afraid of ropes for ten years!

Without even needing to guess, Ye Liangchen knew that the titled Douluo was Dugu Bo. This old man had become a poisonous person due to the erosion of his own martial soul poison, and his personality was also very strange, decisive in killing.

Ye Liangchen thought to himself that if he went to contact Dugu Bo directly now, he could use Tang San's method to point out the other party's problems. However, if he did that, he would definitely be beaten up by that old man. He had a soul bone in his body, and if he accidentally exposed it, it would cause the other party to kill him and take the bone.

Another method would be to kill the other party with a single shot and end it all, but the other party had no grudge against her, so killing them like that would be immoral. Besides, with the old man dead, Dugu Yan would have no one to rely on, and her future days would not be easy.

Ye Liangchen decided to observe first and see when the old man would leave. After all, his granddaughter was still in the first team of the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy, and he couldn't stay in the forest for a long time.

"Swish..."

Ye Liangchen activated his Wind and Thunder Wings, flying several hundred meters into the air and heading forward. At the same time, he took out his binoculars to check the area where Dugu Bo was located.

"Ahhh..."

Just then, a scream came from a mountain a kilometer away, which caught Ye Liangchen's attention. He immediately landed on a tree a hundred meters high and quietly observed the direction of the scream.

"Swish, swish, swish..."

Suddenly, green mist billowed from a cave, and an old man with green skin, hair, and beard rushed out and sped off towards a distant mountain.

"It seems Dugu Bo's poison has taken effect. That old man really is all green! No wonder he's a poison man."

At that moment, a light drizzle was falling, and Dugu Bo's poison was taking effect. Ye Liangchen felt that the old man's symptoms were similar to those of rheumatoid arthritis.

The place Dugu Bo went to was the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye. Now that his poison has flared up, he can only use the extreme cold and extreme heat energies in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye to suppress his poison. It is a case of fighting poison with poison, which can only temporarily suppress the poison and relieve the pain.

Ye Liangchen had refined antidote pills and also discovered several methods to resolve poisoning in the "Dan Dian" (Classic of Alchemy). Dugu Bo's situation could also be resolved.

The old man is currently in the mountain valley of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, using the two energies of ice and fire to suppress the poison, and has no time to pay attention to the situation outside the valley.

So Ye Liangchen quietly flew towards the direction of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye. To avoid being discovered, he flew directly to an altitude of seven or eight hundred meters, took out his binoculars, and checked the situation in the various valleys in the distance.

Suddenly, a place emitting two kinds of light came into view. Ye Liangchen seemed to see a hot pot with two sides, one red and the other white, and steam was constantly rising from it.

"We've finally found the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire."

Atop a high mountain a thousand meters away from the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, Ye Liangchen quietly descended, took out his Barrett MK22, lay prone on a large rock, and observed everything in the mountain valley through the scope.

Through the high-powered Barrett MK22 telescope, Ye Liangchen could clearly see the entire Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye, a hot pot-shaped structure surrounded by various rare and exotic plants, like a botanical paradise.

Several hundred meters outside the ravine, there is a green poisonous fog. If an ordinary person steps into it, they will be immediately corroded by the poisonous fog and die instantly. It is extremely terrifying.

"Ah ah..."

At this moment, Dugu Bo was sitting cross-legged not far from the hot pot, using the cold and fire poisons to suppress his own toxins, constantly letting out screams, his expression extremely painful.

"Old man Dugu, if you really can't hold on any longer, you can call me for help. I can help you permanently resolve your pain anytime."

Ye Liangchen felt like a sniper lying in ambush; with just a light pull of the trigger, the old man would be done for.

However, to prevent any accidents, Ye Liangchen turned off the safety lock; otherwise, if he accidentally slipped, the other party would be in trouble.

This old man is really unlucky. He's spent his whole life playing with poison, but he's poisoned himself to the point of looking like a ghost. Ye Liangchen remembers that Bibi Dong's two spider martial souls also seem to contain potent poison, but the other party was not affected by the toxins.

Several hours later, the screams in the ravine stopped, and Dugu Bo successfully suppressed his poison.

"Dugu Bo, Dugu Bo, you've spent your life playing with poison, yet you can't even deal with your own poison. Your son's cultivation wasn't high enough to suppress the toxins, and he died from them. Now your granddaughter is facing the same problem."

"Gods, why are you so cruel to my Dugu family? If this continues, my Dugu family will be wiped out."

Dugu Bo sighed a few times, knowing that he would not live much longer. However, the backlash from his granddaughter Dugu Yan's poison was a constant headache for him. Every time the poison flared up, he was in excruciating pain. What would happen to his granddaughter if he died one day?

"It's time to go back and check on Yanyan."

Dugu Bo was very worried about his granddaughter, so he immediately got up and flew out of the valley, leaving Sunset Forest.

"After guarding him for more than three hours, the old man finally left. I feel like I'm almost a professional sniper now."

Ye Liangchen had his divine sense fully open and could hear Dugu Bo's self-talk. It was not easy to intercept these immortal herbs. So he put away his Barrett MK22 sniper rifle, activated his Wind and Thunder Wings, and flew directly towards the mountain valley of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

It has to be said that having the ability to fly is really awesome; you can fly freely among towering mountains.

A few minutes later, Ye Liangchen landed directly in the mountain valley of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. Looking at the red and white spring pool in the center, which was over a hundred square meters in size, Ye Liangchen knew that there was a hidden world below, containing the remains of the Ice Dragon King and the Fire Dragon King. It was because of these two divine beasts that the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well was created.

If the remains of the two dragon kings were removed, the energy of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well would gradually disappear. However, Ye Liangchen did not intend to do so, since this was a treasure land and should not be destroyed at will.

"Sister Ayin, I've found a treasure land containing powerful energy. You should absorb it quickly."

Ye Liangchen summoned the Blue Silver Emperor, allowing her to accelerate her growth with the help of this powerful energy.

"My God! Xiao Chen, you actually found such a treasure trove? This place is full of precious medicinal herbs. Although there are many herbs I don't recognize, I can sense that these herbs are of a higher grade than the ones we found before."

As soon as the Blue Silver Emperor emerged, he was immediately shocked by the powerful energy in the valley, and his whole body trembled with excitement.

"Sister Ayin, hurry up and find a place to absorb this energy."

"This place used to be the territory of that titled Douluo. Now that he has left Sunset Forest, we need to hurry."

"Oh! Xiao Chen, then be careful."

Upon hearing Ye Liangchen's words, the Blue Silver Emperor became very nervous and immediately ran to a place with the most concentrated energy, where it began to absorb it frantically.

"Buzzing..."

As a large amount of energy poured into the Blue Silver Emperor's body, its body grew wildly at a speed visible to the naked eye, four meters, five meters, six meters, seven meters... and its vines and leaves became more and more lush.

Ye Liangchen examined the medicinal herbs in this botanical paradise. The first ones he saw were the most familiar immortal herbs: Acacia Heartbreak Red, Extraordinary Velvet Chrysanthemum, Eight-Petaled Fairy Orchid, Fragrant Fairy Herb, Fairy Tulip, Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower, Narcissus Jade Skin and Bone, Ink Jade Divine Bamboo, Nine-Grade Purple Ganoderma, and Sweet Potato Golden Dragon.

Pick these herbs and put them in your game inventory, leaving only a little bit of the root. Perhaps in a hundred or eighty years, these herbs can grow again.

"Hey! Isn't this the 'Dewdrop of Longing'?"

Ye Liangchen found a small grass with dewdrops under its leaves, so he picked it and dripped the dewdrops into his eyes.

"Swish..."

A moment later, Ye Liangchen's eyes emitted an even stronger golden light, as if they were fiery eyes, allowing him to see things clearly from two thousand meters away.

"Holy crap! These are Spirit Transformation Grass, Impatiens Flower, Purple Lingzhi, and Heavenly Heart Flower... With these, we can refine the Transformation Pill."

Previously, Ye Liangchen had been worried about the Blue Silver Emperor's transformation into human form, but he never expected to find these medicinal herbs in this valley.

Quickly collect these medicinal herbs, put them in a jade box, and store them in your game inventory. You can then use them to refine the Transformation Pill for the Blue Silver Emperor.

There were also hundreds of other precious medicinal herbs in the valley, which Ye Liangchen also collected, such as cinnabar lotus, snow silkworm, and dragon fungus leaves.

After dealing with these medicinal herbs, Ye Liangchen went to the edge of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well to prepare to deal with the Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass and the Blazing Apricot Delicate Vegetable. These two extremely cold and extremely hot plants are not immortal herbs, but poisonous herbs. Encountering either one alone could be fatal, but when the two plants are combined, they can achieve balance and are very good for body tempering.

Ye Liangchen discovered the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Pill in the "Dan Dian" (a classic text on alchemy), and thus planned to add some neutral medicinal materials to help refine these two extremely cold and extremely hot plants into the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Pill.

Without further ado, Ye Liangchen took out two knives and threw them at the roots of the two plants.

"Click...click..."

Two voices rang out, and the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass and the Fiery Apricot Vegetable were both cut down by the roots. One of the blades turned into ice, and the other was burned red-hot.

"Swish..."

Ye Liangchen arranged the medicine cauldron and directly used his soul power to send the two plants into the cauldron. In an instant, the two energies of extreme cold and extreme heat met and became peaceful. You could even touch them with your hands without any problem.
