Under Dugu Bo's guidance, Xiao Yan quickly arrived with him at a valley.
When Xiao Yan saw the scene inside the valley, he was shocked.
The hot spring within the valley was divided into two sections. In the oval-shaped pool, the color of the spring water was actually split into milky white and vermilion red.
Even more astonishing was that although they existed within the same pool, the two sides were sharply divided, never encroaching upon each other, each steadfastly remaining on its own side.
The billowing steam that surged upward was produced precisely at the boundary between the two springs, continuously rising until it slowly dissipated near the mouth of the valley.
In the Douluo World, this was the first time Xiao Yan had been so astonished.
The thing before his eyes was actually the Ice and Fire Yin–Yang Well recorded in the Xuantian Treasure Record.
No wonder Dugu Bo hadn't been poisoned to death by his own toxins—this was probably one of the reasons!
The medicinal pellet Dugu Bo had condensed was not particularly perfect and could not completely devour toxins like a venomous snake's poison sac.
This was also why Xiao Yan speculated that condensing a pellet was only one of the reasons Dugu Bo had managed to survive.
For someone like Dugu Bo, whose body carried intense poison, the Ice and Fire Yin–Yang Well was extremely beneficial. Extreme heat and extreme cold both had suppressive effects on poison.
It was precisely due to the suppression of the Ice and Fire Yin–Yang Well, combined with the evolution of Dugu Bo's own martial soul, that he had been able to live until now.
"All of my medicinal herbs are planted here. There are all kinds of poisons and tonics. You can use them as you like," Dugu Bo said, pointing around the Ice and Fire Yin–Yang Well.
Xiao Yan stepped toward the vermilion-red hot spring, squatted down, and reached his hand into it.
Dugu Bo was genuinely startled by Xiao Yan's sudden action. "Kid, are you crazy?! This hot spring may look ordinary on the surface, but inside it's filled with extreme heat and extreme cold. Even I can't endure it for long!"
Xiao Yan cupped some of the vermilion liquid with both hands and stood up. After observing it carefully for a moment, he activated his Devouring ability and absorbed a wisp of scorching energy.
After making his judgment, he flung the liquid back into the spring.
What surprised Dugu Bo was that aside from being slightly reddened—like someone who had just washed their hands in hot water—Xiao Yan's hands showed no signs of injury at all.
"This spring water is indeed scorching, but it can't hurt me," Xiao Yan said as he shook the water off his hands. "I was just curious about how strange it was, so I took a closer look."
"Did you find anything?" Dugu Bo asked eagerly.
He had lived here for many years and had only ever thought of it as a peculiar hot spring.
Xiao Yan gazed deeply at the Ice and Fire Yin–Yang Well. "There's enormous energy contained in this water. If used properly, it could produce extraordinary effects."
From his earlier direct investigation, although this thing resembled the Ice and Fire Yin–Yang Well in appearance, it was definitely not the one recorded in the Xuantian Treasure Record.
At best, the two shared similarities in that they were both unusually shaped large hot springs.
The difference was that this one was far more powerful than the version recorded in the Xuantian Treasure Record.
By devouring the energy contained within the spring water, Xiao Yan could confirm that the two were indeed different.
The spring water of this Ice and Fire Yin–Yang Well contained abnormally violent energy—it was definitely not something that had formed naturally over time.
Devouring the energy of this spring water felt somewhat similar to the sensation transmitted to him when the Blue Silver Emperor devoured the corpses of soul beasts, but it was even stronger than when devouring three corpses.
If he weren't powerful enough, absorbing even a trace of it would likely result in injury.
No wonder even a Titled Douluo like Dugu Bo found it hard to endure.
Xiao Yan roughly formed a guess in his mind. Perhaps a meteor had fallen from the sky and smashed into the ground with a boom, creating this Douluo-version Ice and Fire Yin–Yang Well.
The radiation carried by the meteor, or some other strange power, might have intensified the effects of the Ice and Fire Yin–Yang Well recorded by the Tang Sect.
Although this might not be entirely accurate, one thing was certain—there was definitely a treasure beneath this spring.
Judging by the surrounding terrain, with higher ground all around and lower ground in the center, it also matched the landscape formed by a meteor impact.
"Aren't we here to look for medicinal herbs? Why are you just standing there staring at the hot spring? You won't find grass growing in a hot spring!" Dugu Bo said impatiently.
Xiao Yan snapped back to his senses and smiled awkwardly. "I was just seeing what kind of herbs you've got in your medicinal garden, old poison freak."
With an enhanced version of the Ice and Fire Yin–Yang Well here, there was no need to think twice—the medicinal herbs grown here were bound to be far superior to those elsewhere.
After strolling around with Dugu Bo, Xiao Yan genuinely didn't know what to say.
Millennium-grade herbs were everywhere, ten-thousand-year-grade herbs were not uncommon, and there were even several extremely precious immortal-grade medicinal herbs.
If Dugu Bo ate just one correctly—just one—not only would his poison be resolved, his strength would skyrocket by several levels.
Of course, if he ate the wrong one… smack, instant death.
"You've been nodding and shaking your head the whole time. So what's the verdict? Is there anything suitable?" Dugu Bo asked anxiously.
Xiao Yan first sighed to himself, then sighed again at Dugu Bo's old face, then glanced at the exotic, top-tier medicinal herbs around them and sighed once more.
There was a saying for this: a foolish son of a rich landlord.
Dugu Bo fit it perfectly—sitting on a mountain of gold and having no idea how to spend it.
Dugu Bo asked tentatively, "Are my herbs not usable?"
"No." Xiao Yan raised a hand and rubbed his forehead. Dugu Bo had really given him a tough problem. "The medicinal properties of these herbs are all excellent—much better than the ones I originally had in mind. I need to think this through carefully."
"To be honest, if you eat these herbs raw, they could all neutralize snake poison. But eating them raw would be a waste. Properly combining several herbs would unleash far stronger medicinal effects."
Dugu Bo looked at his own medicinal garden and listened to Xiao Yan's words, finding it hard to believe that these were things he had grown himself.
"These herbs are really that powerful? Even tonics can kill people if eaten incorrectly."
Xiao Yan smiled helplessly. It seemed Dugu Bo had been tormented by the snake poison for far too long and valued his life too much, which was why he dared not eat anything recklessly.
"I'm going to make a phone call," Xiao Yan said as he walked a few steps away, preparing to call for backup.
Dugu Bo asked in confusion, "Who's Phone Call? As long as it's not a Titled Douluo, I can help you beat him up."
Taking out his black phone from his storage jade belt, Xiao Yan suppressed his laughter and said, "This thing is called a phone. You can use it to contact someone you need by dialing. That process is called making a phone call."
"A phone?" Dugu Bo scratched his head as he looked at the palm-sized object in Xiao Yan's hand, about the size of a girl's small mirror. This thing could find people?
He was a Titled Douluo who had lived for over seventy years and considered himself well-informed, yet Xiao Yan had completely stumped him.
"Why do you always come up with all these strange things?"
