Using all eight legs, Cheng Xiao stepped onto the head of the Human-Faced Demon Spider and leisurely slid down the mountainside. In
the blink of an eye, Cheng Xiao and the Human-Faced Demon Spider had fallen from the mountaintop into the valley. Upon returning to the ground, the Human-Faced Demon Spider consciously returned to its shadow.
Looking at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well before him, Cheng Xiao was slightly amazed. The hot spring wasn't very large, but it was divided into two oval pools, the water being milky white and vermilion respectively.
Even more strangely, although they were in the same pool, they were clearly separated, never encroaching on each other, always remaining on their own side. From Cheng Xiao's perspective, it looked like a giant hot pot with two separate sections.
The Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well was surrounded by all sorts of plants, each with its own unique shape, looking like a botanical paradise.
And with Cheng Xiao's arrival, a slight ripple appeared deep within the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.
The valley wasn't very large, yet it was teeming with all sorts of plants, none of which Cheng Xiao recognized.
This was somewhat embarrassing; the immortal herbs of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well were incredibly precious, but one needed to recognize them first, and Cheng Xiao was currently at a loss.
However, it didn't matter; he could simply summon Chrysanthemum Douluo, who loved flowers and plants, and he would learn their names and uses.
At a glance, various beautiful flowers vied for attention, and different plants were laden with fruit. Many plants emitted varying degrees of light, making them clearly extraordinary just by looking at them.
But none of that mattered. The most important thing was the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, nestled among these plants. Red and white, it resembled two enormous jade stones inlaid there, and the rich life force filled the entire valley.
The pervasive spiritual energy in the air also stirred Cheng Xiao's heart. If he could cultivate here, wouldn't his cultivation be twice as effective with half the effort?
Just as Cheng Xiao gradually approached the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, a dark green figure quietly appeared behind him.
"Boy, take another step forward, and don't blame me for being ruthless."
Dugu Bo's icy gaze, like that of a venomous snake, fixed on Cheng Xiao, whose back was turned to him. He hadn't expected this young man, who had dealt with the Azure Phosphorus Serpent's venom, to find this place so quickly, and judging from his appearance, the poison array clearly hadn't posed much of a threat to him.
This not only puzzled Dugu Bo but also made him even more curious about Cheng Xiao.
Hearing Dugu Bo's warning, Cheng Xiao paused. The shadow soldiers in the shadows stared at the old man in dark green before them, ready to intervene and save their king.
Although the shadow soldiers were currently weaker than Dugu Bo, their loyalty to Cheng Xiao was undeniable, enough to make them relentlessly attack Dugu Bo. After all, the king's existence was their foundation.
Without the king, there would be no shadow soldiers.
"Mr. Dugu, I thought you would wait a while longer." Cheng Xiao turned around with a smile, looking at the tall, thin old man in front of him, with white hair and beard, eyes that shone like emeralds, an expressionless face, sunken cheeks, and wearing a green robe.
"You mean, you'll come out after you've picked all the herbs in my garden?" Hearing this, Dugu Bo narrowed his eyes slightly and said coldly.
"Mr. Dugu, please don't be angry. I haven't picked them yet." Cheng Xiao said. Glancing at the intact herb garden, Dugu Bo snorted coldly. His personality was inherently aloof, and he acted solely on his own whims. Even if the young man before him hadn't attacked his garden, he wouldn't have given him a friendly look.
"Boy, let's put aside your trespassing for now. Can you tell me how you neutralized Yan Yan's Azure Phosphorous Serpent Poison?" Dugu Bo's hands were behind his back, a green light flashing in his eyes. A sinister aura emanated from him, and the powerful fluctuations of his soul power seemed to solidify the air.
Fortunately, Dugu Bo didn't attack Cheng Xiao; otherwise, the soul power fluctuations alone from a Title Douluo would have been enough to give him a hard time.
"Boy, I've heard that Mr. Dugu is quite interested in me. Presumably, that interest stems from your ability to neutralize the Azure Phosphorous Serpent Poison?" Cheng Xiao said.
"Indeed." Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo did not deny it. He had always been like this. If Cheng Xiao hadn't broken Dugu Yan's Azure Phosphorus Serpent Poison, he wouldn't have been interested in a Soul Master below level forty. His interest was simply to figure out how Cheng Xiao had broken it.
Cheng Xiao smiled slightly at Dugu Bo's answer and said, "Mr. Dugu, actually I don't have the ability to break the Azure Phosphorus Serpent Poison; it's just that the poison is ineffective against me."
"Are you toying with me?" Dugu Bo's face darkened, and a massive wave of soul power pressure surged towards Cheng Xiao, determined to make him suffer.
Out of consideration for Cheng Xiao being Dugu Yan's friend, Dugu Bo wouldn't do anything, but he was quite happy to make this glib-tongued brat suffer.
However, just as the soul power pressure was about to crush Cheng Xiao, a single sentence from him stunned Dugu Bo into a daze, and the released soul power pressure instantly dissipated.
"Mr. Dugu, if I'm not mistaken, your poison skills must have tormented you beyond recognition, right?"
Cheng Xiao's calm words struck Dugu Bo like a bolt from the blue. Looking at the composed young man before him, Dugu Bo became agitated. He was puzzled as to how the other party knew that his poison skills were problematic, but due to his strength, Dugu Bo coldly questioned him.
"Boy, what nonsense are you spouting? I've spent my whole life dealing with poisons, how could I be affected by poison techniques?"
Looking at the stubborn Dugu Bo, Cheng Xiao didn't expose him. Instead, he smiled and said, "Mr. Dugu's poisons are naturally unparalleled, but unfortunately, this poison can kill enemies, and it can also kill you, including your descendants."
"Mr. Dugu's interest in me is simply because he wants to get a solution to the Jade Phosphorous Snake venom from me, and then try to come up with a way to solve his own poisoning problem."
"However, by the time you find a solution, Sister Yanzi will probably be gone."
Hearing this, Dugu Bo's expression changed drastically, his eyes almost bursting with ruthlessness. He could live without himself, but he couldn't live without his granddaughter. He knew Dugu Yan's body very well; the backlash from the Jade Phosphorous Snake venom had accumulated in her body for over a decade, and it had already permeated her entire body, reaching deep into her lungs and bones.
Unfortunately, he hadn't found a solution himself, which was why he had set his sights on Cheng Xiao, hoping to find a way out. But now, he seemed to be on the verge of despair. According to his prediction, if things continued like this, Dugu Yan might not live past thirty!
But could the young man before him be trusted? He didn't know. He didn't believe Cheng Xiao had no profit in it, but right now, he had no other choice but to try anything.
Dugu Bo stared intently at Cheng Xiao with a burning green light in his eyes, his voice low and hoarse as he asked, "Boy, do you have a way to help me detoxify?"
