Ling Feng walked up to him without him noticing and said softly, "Senior, starting tomorrow, we can talk about that auspicious burial site."
Dugu Bo looked at him, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes: "You broke through?"
"Hmm." Ling Feng nodded and smiled slightly. "Level 30."
Dugu Bo took a deep breath. From awakening to now, only half a year has passed, and he has gone from level ten to level thirty. What kind of speed is this? Even with innate full soul power, it is too astonishing.
He suddenly felt a sense of relief, relieved that he had gone to the Spirit Hall that night and that he had made the right choice.
"Alright," he said in a deep voice, "I'll take you there in a couple of days."
Ling Feng nodded, his gaze falling on the fireworks in the courtyard and the children running beneath them.
On New Year's Eve, the snow was still falling, but everyone's heart was warm.
The sound of firecrackers drifted from afar; the new year was approaching.
Everyone is waiting for midnight, for the new year to begin.
P.S.: In the new year, the author wishes everyone a happy new year, a joyous family reunion, all the best, and that all your dreams come true!
Chapter 25 The Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire
On the third day of the Lunar New Year, the sky cleared after the snow.
Ling Feng got up early and practiced a set of boxing moves in the yard.
After breaking through level 30, he felt like he had inexhaustible energy, and even the wind from his punches carried a faint sound of air being cut.
"Good morning, Brother Lingfeng."
Dugu Yan came out of the guest room rubbing her eyes, her little face flushed and her hair a little messy.
Ling Feng stopped his movements and laughed, "Why are you up so early? Did you go to bed so late last night?"
"Grandpa said he's taking Brother Lingfeng somewhere today and wants me to come along."
Dugu Yan yawned. "I haven't gone out with Grandpa in a long time."
Ling Feng's heart stirred.
Is Dugu Bo planning to take me to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well?
And Yan Yan was also brought along...
Just then, Dugu Bo walked up from behind, carrying a bundle in his hand: "Kid, are you ready?"
"Senior, I'm available anytime."
Dugu Bo nodded and looked at Dugu Yan: "Yan Yan, go tell Aunt Yue that we are going out for a few days."
"A few days?" Dugu Yan blinked. "Where are we going?"
"It's a nice place." Dugu Bo rarely smiled. "Grandpa will take you there to play."
Dugu Yan cheered and ran off to find Tuoba Yue'er.
Ling Feng went back to his room to tidy up and then explained the situation to his parents.
Qian Gu Xiao Ye pondered for a moment and said, "Since Dugu Bo is willing to take you out, it means he trusts you. Be careful on the road, and listen to your seniors when you encounter problems."
"By the way, your uncle will also be protecting you closely on this trip."
"Yes, Father."
Tuoba Yue'er held his hand and gave him a long lecture, mainly telling him to wear more clothes, be careful, and come back soon.
Half an hour later, the three of them left Wuhun City.
Dugu Bo walked ahead, with Dugu Yan perched on his shoulders, looking around at the scenery. Ling Feng followed beside him, calculating the gains of this trip.
"Boy," Dugu Bo suddenly spoke, "that method you mentioned, can it really make the Azure Serpent King evolve?"
“Theoretically possible,” Ling Feng said, “but it requires a stroke of luck. The treasure land you found, senior, may very well have such an opportunity.”
Dugu Bo remained silent for a while before saying, "I've been to that place a few times. Some of the medicinal herbs there grow in strange ways, and there are places that even I can't get close to."
"If you can figure out anything, I will certainly not treat you unfairly."
"Don't worry, senior." Ling Feng smiled slightly, "I won't let you down."
The three of them traveled south, crossing plains and traversing mountains, a journey that took them two whole days.
On the evening of the third day, they entered a dense forest, which was the Sunset Forest.
The forest was shrouded in mist, and the further in you went, the higher the temperature became and the more humid the air became.
The poison gas barrier set up by Dugu Bo was getting stronger and stronger, but fortunately, there was an antidote pill, so Ling Feng was unharmed.
"We're almost there," Dugu Bo said. "Stay close to me and don't wander off."
Ling Feng understood.
The Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire is just ahead.
After walking for another hour, the view suddenly opened up before us.
It was a valley surrounded by mountains, with a small basin in the middle.
In the center of the basin, two springs, one red and one white, coexist. The red spring is as hot as flames, while the white spring is icy cold. The confluence of the two springs is shrouded in mist, creating a unique scene.
What caught Ling Feng's attention the most was the medicinal herb field surrounding the spring.
A dazzling array of rare medicinal herbs were on display; he recognized some, while others he had only seen in ancient texts.
Eight-pointed ice grass, fiery apricot blossoms, and dew-covered autumn waters... they're all there!
“This is the place,” Dugu Bo said. “I stumbled upon this treasure land by chance. These medicinal herbs are all strangely shaped, and I dare not touch any of them.”
Ling Feng took a deep breath, suppressing his excitement, and slowly asked, "Senior, do you know where this place is?"
"You know?" Dugu Bo raised an eyebrow.
"The Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire," Ling Feng said, enunciating each word clearly. "One of the three great treasure basins in the world, a place where the spiritual energy of heaven and earth converges, a blessed land that nurtures immortal medicinal herbs."
Dugu Bo was stunned.
He only knew that there were many medicinal herbs here, but he didn't expect them to be of such great importance.
"A divine herb?" Dugu Yan asked curiously, "Brother Lingfeng, what is a divine herb?"
"It's something that's a hundred or a thousand times more precious than ordinary medicinal herbs."
Ling Feng looked at the two pools of spring water, "For example, those two plants—the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass and the Fiery Apricot Blossom—if consumed, they can give one a constitution that is immune to both ice and fire."
Dugu Bo's eyes lit up: "You can recognize it?"
“Yes.” Ling Feng nodded. “However, senior, the medicinal herbs here cannot be picked randomly. We need to be careful with the methods. Especially those two plants, if you touch them directly with your hands, you will surely die.”
Dugu Bo gasped. He had actually considered going over to pick them, but thankfully he hadn't.
"Then..." He looked at Ling Feng, "Kid, do you have a plan?"
Ling Feng smiled slightly: "If you trust me, senior, I have a way."
Dugu Bo stared at him for a long time before finally nodding: "Alright, I believe you."
Ling Feng walked to the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, sensing the two completely different auras, and planned out the steps in his mind.
According to the knowledge learned from Yue Guan, to collect the Eight-Starred Ice Grass and the Fiery Apricot, one needs to use the method of obtaining jade with gold.
He doesn't have Tang Sanxuan's Jade Hand, but he has soul power and mental strength far exceeding that of ordinary people.
“Senior, I need your help,” he said, turning around.
"explain."
"In a moment, I will use my soul power to envelop those two herbs and pull them up at the same time. The moment they are pulled up, they will attract each other. If they collide, their medicinal effects will be destroyed."
"I need you to use your soul power to separate us while I retrieve the prepared container."
Dugu Bo nodded: "Okay."
Ling Feng took out two jade boxes from his bundle, which he had specially prepared before setting off.
He took a deep breath, circulated his soul power, and slowly approached the two herbs.
The eight-cornered ice grass is crystal clear and exudes a bone-chilling cold; the fiery apricot is as red as fire and its heat is oppressive.
The two were only three feet apart, yet they were like two completely different worlds.
Ling Feng extended both hands simultaneously, his soul power transforming into two streams, each enveloping one of the two herbs.
"rise!"
He suddenly lifted them up, and both herbs were lifted off the ground at the same time.
Almost instantly, they seemed to sense each other and flew toward the center together.
"senior!"
Dugu Bo was prepared. With a wave of his hands, a barrier of dark green soul power was erected in the middle.
The two herbs bumped into the barrier and paused slightly.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Ling Feng took out a jade box, and with a flick of his left hand, put the Fiery Apricot into one jade box, and with a scoop of his right hand, put the Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass into another.
The moment the lid was closed, the mutual attraction disappeared.
"Phew—" Ling Feng let out a long breath, sweat already beading on his forehead.
Dugu Bo watched with amazement: "Kid, you've got some skills."
Ling Feng smiled, his gaze falling on the depths of that medicinal herb field.
There, a small grass, its entire body translucent and its leaves as clear as autumn water, grows quietly.
Longing for you until my eyes are dry with anticipation.
A divine herb that can enhance mental strength and may even open a third eye.
"Senior, I want to keep that one for myself."
He pointed to the Dewdrop in the Sky and said, "In exchange, I can help you find herbs suitable for the evolution of the Azure Serpent King."
Dugu Bo looked at the small grass, then at Ling Feng, and suddenly smiled.
