Chapter 106: Journey to the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire.
"Old Poisonous Creature, don't forget the first condition you promised me." Tang San, sensing Dugu Bo's murderous intent directed at the rest of the Shrek group, frowned.
"Hmph!" Dugu Bo snorted, "Little monster, you should know that if they leak my herb garden, the consequences are self-evident."
"Well... Old Poisonous Creature, I want to tell you something. How about we talk alone?"
Tang San looked at Dugu Bo and suggested seriously.
"No, if you want to say it, just say it here," Dugu Bo said angrily, looking at Tang San.
"No, this is a private matter. Don't worry, I won't cheat you..."
Finally, under Tang San's persuasion, Dugu Bo and Tang San stepped aside and used their spirit power to isolate the others.
...
At the same time.
Ma Hongjun walked over to Xuan Mo. "Brother Mo, Third Brother wants to take us to Dugu Bo's herb garden. Why? Can't he bring out that Jade Soul Cactus?"
"No, you're wrong."
Xuan Mo's eyes turned to Tang San. "The purpose of what he just said wasn't for the Jade Soul Cactus, but to take us to Dugu Bo's herb garden."
"Herb garden?" Ma Hongjun was momentarily stunned.
After all, in his eyes, herb gardens, like those in Tiandou City, had at least a dozen, if not twenty. They were nothing special.
"Yes. But it's not a simple herb garden."
Xuan Mo saw Ma Hongjun's reaction. As a brother who possessed the martial soul fusion technique, he naturally understood what he was thinking.
"Do you think a herb garden so prized by a Titled Douluo is that simple?"
Xuan Mo pointed at the fragrant Qiluo immortal item in Xiao Wu's hand. "Do you know what it's called?"
Hearing Xuan Mo's words, Ma Hongjun subconsciously glanced at it. After a moment's contemplation, he said, "Third brother seemed to have mentioned it just now, but I didn't listen carefully. It should be called Youxiang or something like that."
"It's the fragrant Qiluo immortal item," Xuan Mo immediately added after hearing Ma Hongjun's words. He then continued, "Do you think this fragrant Qiluo immortal item is mortal?"
"Brother Mo, what do you mean..."
"This fragrant Qiluo immortal item is a fairy grass."
"Fairy grass! It's a fairy grass!"
Hearing Xuan Mo's words, Ma Hongjun was instantly delighted.
Back then, Ma Hongjun and Xuan Mo had traveled alone, searching for a way to replenish or purify Ma Hongjun's martial soul bloodline. Xuan Mo was talking to Ma Hongjun about two things, one of which was a fairy grass.
Unfortunately, after two years, they only found one herb with a strong fire attribute, which wasn't considered a celestial herb. While it still helped Ma Hongjun, it still had its flaws.
Now that he had the celestial herb, how could Ma Hongjun not be delighted?
"Brother Mo, can this celestial herb purify my martial soul and completely dispel my evil fire?"
"Don't even think about it. It's impossible."
Xuan Mo, seeing Ma Hongjun's eager gaze, knew what he was thinking and immediately poured a basin of cold water on him. "That fragrant and beautiful celestial herb may be considered a celestial herb, but it won't help you purify your martial soul or dispel your evil fire at all."
"Ah, why is that?"
Ma Hongjun couldn't help but wonder. To him, a celestial herb was just a celestial herb, not just a medicinal herb.
"That celestial herb's function is to isolate all poisons. It has no other benefits. It can't purify your martial soul at all."
Xuan Mo's words suddenly interrupted Ma Hongjun's thoughts. As for doubts, as a brother who possessed the Martial Soul Fusion Technique, such things were out of the question.
Seeing Ma Hongjun's expression, Xuan Mo almost felt anxious about his intelligence. He'd just said so much, and yet Ma Hongjun still hadn't reacted.
So, he reminded him, "Fatty, haven't you ever thought about where that immortal herb came from?"
"Brother Mo, you mean Dugu Bo's herb garden?"
Xuan Mo nodded, looking at Ma Hongjun's intelligent mind. "Since Dugu Bo's herb garden has the Youxiang Qiluo immortal product, it must be a treasure trove. If it's a treasure trove, then you're still worried about not having the immortal herb that suits you."
"But will that Poison Douluo agree?"
Ma Hongjun's eyes flashed with deep fear. After all, that trip to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy and this time killing the Undead Bone Dragon had left him with a terrifying impression of Dugu Bo.
Dugu Bo was a completely unpredictable and ruthless character. So, how could a Titled Douluo possibly agree to go to his treasured land and take the immortal herb?
"Don't worry, Xiao San is doing this for sure." Xuan Mo said this, but his mind wandered to Tang San's Immortal Grass and Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire. It was said that the Yin-Yang Eyes were the product of the two great dragon kings, Ice and Fire. And his own spirit, the "Taotie Divine Bull," possessed the bloodline of the Earth Dragon King, Taotie. Perhaps this would be his chance to rise to prominence, a chance even greater than the Immortal Grass.
...
"Alright, little monster, I promise to take you to my herb garden, but you can only stay for three days. Furthermore, you must swear with your spirits not to reveal any information about my herb garden, or you will die!"
Dugu Bo's eyes flashed with murderous intent, sending chills down everyone's spine.
Then, naturally, they swore with their spirits and agreed.
"Alright, old poison creature, take us to your herb garden."
Tang San patted Dugu Bo's shoulder. Dugu Bo glanced at Tang San unhappily, then, with a flick of his sleeve, walked towards the center of Sunset Forest. "Follow me."
Immediately, everyone stood up and set off.
Unbeknownst to them, after they left, the swamp began to stir again...
About two incense sticks later, they arrived at the center of the forest, atop a hill about five hundred meters high.
Dugu Bo climbed the mountain path as if walking on flat ground, seemingly walking very slowly.
But each step was ten meters long, and the distance between each step was perfectly even. As he climbed, it felt like he was ascending vertically.
Following Dugu Bo closely wasn't Zhao Wuji, Flanders, or the others, but Tang San.
Behind Tang San were the four teachers—Flanders, Zhao Wuji, and Liu Erlong—carrying Grandmaster.
As for Xuan Mo and the others, they quickly gathered their spirit power and followed their teachers, while Ning Rongrong and Oscar were carried on Xuan Mo's back and Dai Mubai's hand, respectively.
Soon, the Shrek group, led by Tang San and Dugu Bo, reached the summit.
Upon reaching this point, the Shrek group, including Xuan Mo, were startled by the terrain before them. What lay before them was an inverted cone-shaped valley, the summit of which they were standing at the edge. Thick, humid steam rose from the valley, carrying a distinct smell of sulfur.
"There's a hot spring here?" Grandmaster sniffed in surprise.
But Dugu Bo, facing a weakling, was clearly oblivious.
Instead, he unfurled his form and leaped directly from the pitch-black, bottomless mountainside before him.
"Little monster, bring them down yourself."
Tang San, upon hearing Dugu Bo's words again, didn't respond. Instead, he took the lead in answering Grandmaster's question.
Meanwhile, Xuan Mo glanced at the cliff and said to the Shrek group, "It seems he's deliberately trying to embarrass us. However, he doesn't know we can fly. Xiao Ao, prepare the mushroom sausages."
After consuming the mushroom sausages, the group instantly transformed into wings, and with a slight spread, they soared towards the cliff's base.
When the Shrek group reached the valley, they were greeted by a distinctly red and white hot spring, one extremely hot, the other extremely cold, two diametrically opposed properties coexisting.
Furthermore, surrounding these two ice and fire springs, a myriad of rare plants flourished.
Watching this astonishing scene, the Shrek group was stunned...
