Under the night sky!
Dugu Bo carried his precious granddaughter as they hurried toward his secluded cultivation spot. However, he noticed with some surprise that Dugu Yan kept glancing behind them.
Dugu Bo also turned his head to look and saw Chen Yuan following closely behind, standing on his flying sword, his robes fluttering and his black hair dancing in the wind. The carefree and unrestrained aura he exuded was indeed captivating.
But Dugu Bo snorted coldly in his heart. He wouldn't allow his granddaughter to fall for this playboy.
Right now, he saw Chen Yuan as nothing more than a brat riding a flashy scooter, trying to chase after his precious granddaughter, whom he had carefully nurtured for nearly twenty years. Even if this brat was handsome, talented, and strong, Dugu Bo still didn't like him.
Immediately, he increased his spirit power, speeding up to leave Chen Yuan far behind. He couldn't let his granddaughter have too much contact with him.
Seeing this, Chen Yuan couldn't help but feel amused. Dugu Bo wanted to shake him off, but it wasn't that easy. After all, his external spirit bone, the Golden Feather Wings, gave him a passive effect of straight-line acceleration.
With a thought, Chen Yuan increased his flying speed, quickly catching up to Dugu Bo. He didn't say anything, just silently followed.
Dugu Bo's heart sank, but at the same time, he was shocked. Chen Yuan's speed was actually on par with his own. He was a Title Douluo, after all! But he had no idea about the wonders of external spirit bones.
Soon, as the Sunset Forest came into view, Dugu Bo spoke in a deep voice:
"Kid, listen carefully to what I'm about to say. My secluded cultivation spot is filled with violent ice and fire energy. For low-level spirit beasts or spirit masters, it's extremely dangerous. Staying there for too long can cause your body to explode."
"Once we enter, if you feel anything wrong with your body, retreat immediately. Don't push yourself, or even I won't be able to save you."
"Also, in the center of the valley, there are many unknown plants. Some of them carry poisons even I wouldn't dare touch lightly. Once inside, it's best not to touch anything, or your life could be in danger."
Chen Yuan nodded upon hearing this, but his eyes sparkled with excitement. He had come to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Spring precisely for those plants. This was one of the greatest opportunities in the Douluo Continent.
However, it wasn't the right time to reveal his intentions. Chen Yuan replied seriously:
"Senior, I won't joke about my own life."
After receiving this assurance, Dugu Bo felt more at ease and led Chen Yuan deeper into the Sunset Forest, arriving at an unnamed volcano.
Once they entered the valley, Chen Yuan felt something different. The valley was filled with both extreme heat and extreme cold energy. These two opposing and conflicting energies coexisted harmoniously within the valley.
At the center of the valley, a small spring came into view. The spring had two distinct colors, red and blue, clearly separated yet perfectly balanced. The entire valley's extreme heat and cold energies originated from this small spring.
Around the spring grew numerous plants, each swaying gracefully, nourished by the spring's energy. Each plant had its own unique characteristics.
After landing, Dugu Bo said to Dugu Yan:
"Yanyan, this is where I've been cultivating in seclusion. I never brought you here before because I was worried your body couldn't withstand the impact of the ice and fire energies. But these energies help me suppress the poison in my body."
"After this, whether the poison can be resolved or not, I'll go hunt spirit beasts and collect spirit bones. I won't let your life be in danger."
While Dugu Bo was explaining to Dugu Yan, Chen Yuan stood carefully among the plants, his eyes blazing with excitement as he looked at the field of immortal herbs.
The descriptions of these immortal herbs from the novels he had read flashed through his mind, and he quickly identified the corresponding herbs.
These immortal herbs were mostly unique, with no two being the same or even similar. Although he didn't recognize all of them, he knew the ones that would be useful to him.
At the same time, the extreme cold and heat energies of the ice and fire spring were impacting his body, making him feel extremely uncomfortable inside.
Chen Yuan knew he couldn't delay any longer. He turned around and said to Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan with a smile:
"Senior, Senior Sister, I've found a way to resolve the poison in your bodies. It turns out that Senior's secluded cultivation spot is such a treasure trove. I once read a book that mentioned this red and blue, yin-yang converging spring. It's a special place that nourishes heavenly treasures."
"All the plants around here are extraordinary. As Senior said, some are highly poisonous, but others are immortal herbs and spiritual medicines."
"For example, these two herbs—one is called the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, and the other is the Fire Yang Exquisite Flower. They are born from the essence of the ice and fire spring. The ice and fire spring can suppress poison, and the ice and fire immortal herbs can neutralize it."
"Senior, Senior Sister, if either of you consumes these, the poison in your bodies will be neutralized, and you'll gain great benefits. However, while the poison is neutralized, your poison-based abilities will also be lost."
After hearing Chen Yuan's words, Dugu Bo's emotions were like a rollercoaster—first shock, then joy. He had already thought that if everything Chen Yuan said was true, he would let his granddaughter consume the ice and fire immortal herbs. But when he heard that neutralizing the poison would also eliminate their poison-based abilities, his expression turned grim. The strength of the Jade Phosphorus Snake lay in its poison-based abilities, and losing them was absolutely unacceptable.
Dugu Yan also frowned and said softly to Chen Yuan:
"Junior brother, since you recognize the ice and fire spring and know about these two ice and fire immortal herbs, is there no other way to neutralize the poison in our bodies?"
Chen Yuan gradually revealed his true intentions and said solemnly:
"There is another way. The ice and fire immortal herbs can make one immune to all poisons, but for you, their effects are too intense. They would completely neutralize all the poison. Instead, I can consume the ice and fire immortal herbs. Once their effects are balanced, I can use my blood as a catalyst to create a potion that will gradually neutralize the poison in your bodies while strengthening your foundations. This is the safest method."
Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo narrowed his eyes and said in a cold voice:
"Kid, are you just saying this because you want to eat the ice and fire immortal herbs yourself? Whether neutralizing the poison also eliminates poison-based abilities—we can't be sure if that's true or not."
Chen Yuan thought to himself that he did indeed want to eat the ice and fire immortal herbs, but what he said wasn't false either. However, since this old man was biased against him, he had no choice but to turn to Dugu Yan and say:
"Senior Sister, I don't really mind, but if you're willing to trust me, I'm willing to take on all the risks for you. Do you trust me?"
Dugu Yan looked at Chen Yuan's serious expression, nodded gently, and smiled brightly, her voice soft:
"I trust you!"
At this moment, only Dugu Bo looked completely stunned…
