Chapter 85: Earth Dragon Golden Gourd and Consuming the Ice and Fire Immortal Herbs
"Then Senior truly sits on a mountain of treasure without even realizing it," Lin Mo said with a teasing smile.
Hearing that, Dugu Bo, who was standing to the side, did not argue.
After all, what Lin Mo said was the truth.
He really had been sitting on a mountain of treasure without knowing it. At the same time, because of all his worries, he had never dared to gamble recklessly.
His greatest concern had always been his granddaughter, Dugu Yan. If he were to die early by misfortune, his beautiful granddaughter would lose his protection, and her future path would become extremely difficult.
"Then let us go. We should get the thing first."
Lin Mo walked toward the western side of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, where the Immortal Herb capable of solving Dugu Bo's problem was growing.
It was the Earth Dragon Golden Gourd.
The Earth Dragon Golden Gourd was an earth attribute Immortal Herb that contained the power of an earth dragon overturning the land.
Moreover, because it grew in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, it had also been tainted by some of the residual aura of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings, making it the most suitable Immortal Herb in this place for Dugu Bo.
Hearing this, Dugu Bo did not dare to be careless and followed behind Lin Mo toward the west. However, from his tightly clenched and faintly trembling fists, it was obvious that his mood was far less calm than he appeared.
Soon, the two arrived before the Earth Dragon Golden Gourd.
Dugu Bo, already extremely anxious, did not even need Lin Mo's guidance. He personally dug out the Earth Dragon Golden Gourd himself.
The harvest was quite good. There was 1 large one and 2 small ones, 3 Earth Dragon Golden Gourds in total.
Dugu Bo stared fixedly at the 3 Earth Dragon Golden Gourds in his hands. Feeling the dense earth attribute energy radiating from them, he still found it hard to believe.
Could the problem that had tormented him for most of his life really be solved just like this?
"The Earth Dragon Golden Gourd is an earth attribute Heaven and Earth Treasure. It possesses the power of an earth dragon overturning the land. In my view, it is extremely compatible with Senior's Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor Martial Soul," Lin Mo reminded him calmly from the side.
"If there is an Immortal Herb in this Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well that can help Senior complete a benign Martial Soul mutation and completely remove the pain of the toxin backlash in your body, then it is this one."
"Yes, I can feel it." Dugu Bo nodded, his voice trembling slightly.
Even without Lin Mo's explanation, he could already sense that the aura given off by the Earth Dragon Golden Gourd was indeed highly compatible with his Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor. It gave him a faint feeling of natural harmony.
It was just that, out of habit, caution, and suspicion, he still had some doubts in his heart.
Lin Mo seemed to see through those concerns.
"If Senior still feels uneasy, then why not let this junior set an example first?"
"You can consider it an assessment of me as well. How about it?"
"What do you mean?" Dugu Bo inconspicuously put the 3 Earth Dragon Golden Gourds into his storage Spirit tool, then turned his emerald snake eyes toward Lin Mo.
"Trying to survive, and taking some benefits along the way."
Lin Mo scratched his head as he spoke. Then he stopped concealing his state. Under the pressure of the ice and fire aura within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, the blood and Qi in his body had already begun to churn.
He had stayed inside the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well for quite a while now, so it was inevitable that he had been affected by the environment here.
He was not like Charmander, who could ignore the aura of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well as if it were nothing, and could even casually soak in the Blazing Yang Spring.
During this time, Lin Mo had done his best to remain in the middle zone where the extreme cold and scorching heat intersected, trying to endure it as long as possible.
"This is my oversight."
Seeing that Lin Mo's condition was not right, Dugu Bo waved his hand. A surge of emerald spirit power instantly enveloped Lin Mo, temporarily isolating him from the influence of the surrounding ice and fire aura.
"You brat usually act so mature that for a moment this old man forgot you are still just a little child not even 10 years old."
"Withdraw your Martial Soul first. Then this old man will send you out."
Dugu Bo looked down at Lin Mo and spoke slowly.
"The environment here is too extreme. Even I cannot remain here for long."
"With your current cultivation, if you stay here too long, your life really will be in danger."
With Dugu Bo's help, Lin Mo's complexion immediately improved. The churning feeling of blood and Qi inside his body quickly subsided, and the pressure on him lessened considerably.
"It is fine. I have already found a solution, but I still need Senior's help."
Lin Mo smiled, then shifted his gaze toward the two springs of ice and fire. His eyes lingered for a moment on the herbs growing beside the Blazing Yang Spring and the Extreme Cold Yin Spring.
Dugu Bo followed Lin Mo's gaze and saw the two herbs clearly. The moment he did, he could not help but shiver.
Those two were top grade poisonous herbs that even he, a master poison user, was extremely wary of and did not dare approach lightly. They contained terrifying fire poison and cold poison.
"You brat..."
Dugu Bo's voice trembled slightly.
"Do not tell me you have your eyes on those two."
"I already promised that old fellow Ye Linyuan that I would keep you safe. If you play yourself to death by eating things recklessly, how am I supposed to explain it to him?"
"Senior, please do not worry."
Lin Mo shook his head slightly.
"This junior values his life very much and never acts without confidence. However, if I want to consume these 2 poisonous herbs successfully, I still need Senior's help."
"You are really going to eat them?"
Dugu Bo asked once more, still unwilling to give up on stopping him.
In his eyes, Lin Mo's choice was simply reckless to the extreme.
If Lin Mo had chosen other herbs, that would have been one thing. Even if something went wrong, Dugu Bo was still confident he could save his life.
But with these 2, if anything went wrong, Lin Mo would die without even leaving a corpse behind. There would not even be a chance to try saving him.
"Please help me pick them, Senior, and then throw them to me at the same time."
As he spoke, Lin Mo walked toward the balance point where the waters of the two springs met.
"The poisonous herb shaped like a large white flower that grows in the middle of the ice spring is called the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass. To pick it, you need to use a tool made of refined iron."
"And the fiery red poisonous herb in the middle of the Blazing Yang Spring that looks like Chinese cabbage is called the Blazing Apricot Delicate. It must be picked with a jade tool, otherwise its medicinal power will weaken."
Seeing that Lin Mo had clearly stated the names and harvesting methods of the 2 poisonous herbs, Dugu Bo finally understood that he was not acting on impulse and truly had some knowledge about them.
Only then did he let out a sigh of relief.
Following Lin Mo's instructions, he used an object made of refined iron and a jade tool to cut the 2 poisonous herbs one by one. Then he wrapped them with spirit power and threw them toward Lin Mo.
The moment the 2 poisonous herbs landed in front of Lin Mo at the same time, the extreme cold and extreme heat aura they had previously emitted instantly vanished as they suppressed each other.
A faint red light enveloped the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, while a faint white mist enveloped the Blazing Apricot Delicate.
When the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the Blazing Apricot Delicate came together, their auras restrained one another. Within these 10 breaths, it was the best time to consume them.
If he hesitated, then after 10 breaths their medicinal effects would completely dissipate.
Without delaying any longer, Lin Mo immediately acted.
Dense blood and Qi surged from his body and condensed into a piece of armor like an armguard over his hand.
It wrapped around both of Lin Mo's arms, including his hands.
After making his final preparations, Lin Mo picked up the 2 poisonous herbs, one in each hand, and stuffed them into his mouth in big gulps.
Although these 2 herbs were poisonous, once they suppressed each other they were no longer as violent as before. The moment they entered his mouth, they melted apart.
In that instant, Lin Mo felt an extremely violent burst of ice and fire energy explode inside his body. He immediately tore off his clothes and threw them aside.
Then, without the slightest hesitation, under the astonished gazes of Charmander and Dugu Bo, Lin Mo leaped down and plunged his entire body into the point where the two springs met.
Seeing this, Dugu Bo could not help but mutter to himself, "Brat, I only hope you come out alive."
"If even these 2 poisonous herbs cannot kill you, then this old man will truly believe that the Immortal Herb you chose earlier can solve the problems in me and Yanyan."
