Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well!
After obtaining the immortal herbs, Chen Yuan said to Dugu Yan, "Yanyan, the energy here is too chaotic. It's not a place to stay for long. I'll take you out first. Are you heading back to the academy?"
Dugu Yan shook her head and replied, "Not yet. I need to go to Heaven Dou City first. My grandfather is still at home. Also, Chen Yuan, the blood you provided earlier has almost been used up. I'll need some fresh blood from you."
Hearing this, Chen Yuan didn't hesitate. He summoned the Seven Kill Sword and made a small cut on his left hand. Then he said to Dugu Yan, "Quick, get a jade bottle or something to collect it."
Dugu Yan's gaze softened. She immediately took out a jade bottle from her storage soul tool and began collecting the blood from Chen Yuan's hand. Once the bottle was half full, she quickly sealed it. Losing too much blood could weaken a person.
Holding Chen Yuan's hand, Dugu Yan said with a hint of concern, "It won't be long now. Once my grandfather and I have completely expelled the toxins, we won't need your blood anymore. I hope this hasn't affected your cultivation too much."
Seeing her so worried, Chen Yuan thought about how Dugu Yan had been willing to pluck the Lovesick Heart-Rending Red for him. He didn't mind sharing a little secret. "Yanyan, don't worry about me. Look at my hand…"
As he spoke, he activated the Blue Silver Emperor's right leg bone, using the soul skill "Endless Regeneration, Rebirth in Spring."
Right before Dugu Yan's eyes, the cut on Chen Yuan's left hand quickly stopped bleeding, scabbed over, and healed completely.
Dugu Yan rubbed her eyes in disbelief, her face filled with astonishment.
Chen Yuan explained, "Not only do I have the Golden Feather Wings as an external spirit bone, but I also have another spirit bone that can heal my injuries. Losing a small amount of blood won't affect me much. Of course, this is a secret. You're the first to know, so I hope you can keep it to yourself."
Dugu Yan's lips parted in shock. How lucky did one have to be to possess both an external spirit bone and another spirit bone? Hearing Chen Yuan's request for secrecy, she nodded firmly and said, "I won't tell anyone, not even my grandfather. This is our secret."
Chen Yuan's lips curved into a smile. He couldn't help but reach out and pull Dugu Yan closer, kissing her forehead lightly before pulling back. "But I really liked how worried you were about me."
…
After leaving the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Chen Yuan first took Dugu Yan to Heaven Dou City and then returned alone to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Upon his return, a single sentence—"It's done"—was enough to make Ning Fengzhi drop everything and rush to Chen Yuan's resting room, accompanied by Chen Xin and Gu Rong.
Seeing Chen Yuan, Ning Fengzhi's breathing quickened, but he suppressed his excitement and spoke as calmly as possible, "Chen Yuan, you really did it? You brought back another immortal herb?"
Chen Yuan didn't beat around the bush. Facing Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin, and Gu Rong, he said, "Not just one, but three immortal herbs. Sect Leader, Teacher, and Elder Gu, each of you will receive one."
With that, Chen Yuan took out three jade boxes from his storage soul tool. He opened the first one and explained, "Sect Leader, this is the Nine-Leaf Purple Spirit Grass. It can cleanse the marrow, reshape the body, and help you break through limitations. It should fulfill your wish of elevating the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda."
Ning Fengzhi accepted the jade box with trembling hands. As the sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, he wielded immense power and wealth, but he was forever stuck at level 79, a Soul Saint with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. It was both his pride and his lifelong regret.
He gave Chen Yuan a deep look. This child had brought him too many surprises. He wanted to say something but decided to wait until the herbs were distributed.
Next, Chen Yuan opened the second jade box, revealing a metallic fruit—the Metallic Gold Fruit. He explained, "Teacher, this is the Metallic Gold Fruit. After successfully refining it, it can imbue your martial soul with metallic gold energy. The Seven Kill Sword's offensive power is already formidable, but with this, it will become even sharper. It might even help you break through to a higher level. The fruit's outer skin is tough, so just bite through it and suck out the juice."
Chen Xin took the jade box, his eyes filled with emotion as he looked at the metallic fruit. He raised his gaze to Chen Yuan and said, "Yuan'er, your teacher is very proud of you."
Seeing that Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin had each received an immortal herb, Gu Rong couldn't help but glance frequently at the remaining jade box. As an elder, he couldn't openly ask for it, but he was eager to know what it contained.
Chen Yuan didn't keep him waiting. He opened the last jade box, revealing a small, pure white plant still wrapped in soil. He explained, "Elder Gu, this is the Ghost Bone Grass. It grows in places where bones are buried. Direct contact with the skin can cause ulcers, so you must swallow it whole—do not chew. Once it dissolves, it will greatly enhance the bone strength of your Bone Dragon martial soul, increasing its defensive capabilities. Its cold, dark attribute is a perfect match for you."
Gu Rong accepted the jade box, his usually grim face showing a hint of emotion. He looked at Chen Yuan and said solemnly, "Chen Yuan, you're a good kid. If this herb helps me advance further, I'll owe you a great debt."
Chen Yuan looked at the three of them, each holding their respective herbs, and advised, "Sect Leader, Teacher, Elder Gu, now that you have the herbs, refine and absorb them immediately. See how much they can improve your strength. If enemies come in the future, you'll be ready to face them."
Chen Yuan was referring to the Spirit Hunting Operation. As long as the Spirit Hall sought to unify the continent, the operation was inevitable.
Ning Fengzhi nodded with a smile and said, "Of course. Chen Yuan, you've done a great service to the sect. We won't let you down. I remember giving you a token before. That token is now permanently yours."
"From now on, you'll have the authority of a sect elder. For amounts under 10 million gold soul coins, you can withdraw them directly with a note. For amounts over 10 million, report to me, and if it's reasonable, I'll approve it immediately. Sect resources, connections, and spirit masters will be available to you. As long as it benefits the sect, you can mobilize them."
"By the way, how did you manage to get Poison Douluo to agree to let you bring back three immortal herbs? What did you promise him? If it's something the sect needs to handle, we'll take care of it."
Chen Yuan, feeling pleased, thought for a moment and replied, "I didn't trouble Poison Douluo. It was his granddaughter, Dugu Yan, who helped me pick them. She said that you are my elders, and in the future, you'll be hers too. These herbs are a gift."
At these words, Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin, and Gu Rong were all stunned. Ning Fengzhi exclaimed in shock, "Poison Douluo's granddaughter? You've even won over Poison Douluo's granddaughter?"
Chen Yuan nodded.
Hearing this, Chen Xin and Gu Rong couldn't help but feel a bit angry. Chen Yuan, aside from Ning Rongrong, had also won over another girl. But as they looked down at the immortal herbs in their hands, they suddenly felt the herbs were burning hot.
Ning Fengzhi's heart was in turmoil. From an emotional standpoint, he should be furious. From a practical standpoint, Chen Yuan had done an excellent job.
Sighing, Ning Fengzhi closed his eyes and said, "Just treat my daughter well in the future. Don't let her be hurt by these matters. You… how have you changed so much…"
The Chen Yuan of the past, the one who had left the sect, no longer existed.
