Chapter 18: How to Control the Snow Empress
After passing through the poison array set up by Dugu Bo, the view suddenly opened up before them.
Nestled in a tranquil valley surrounded by steep mountain walls is a small, circular pool.
This is the eye of ice and fire, the destination of Yu Shuangbai!
The hot spring area is not large and is divided into two parts.
It is oval in shape, resembling a natural Tai Chi diagram.
One side of the oval is a blazing, surging, crimson spring, while the other side is a chilling, icy blue spring.
The two extreme springs are very close, yet the boundary between them is as clear as an invisible barrier.
It truly achieved a wonderful balance of mutual generation and mutual restraint.
This treasure basin, a rare sight even after millions of years, can shorten the growth cycle of all kinds of rare and precious materials by tenfold.
That's why so many rare and precious natural treasures grow here.
It was precisely because of this environment rich in spiritual energy that Poison Douluo Dugu Bo was able to use his power and those rare herbs to suppress his own poison and cultivate to the level of a Title Douluo.
It's just a pity that Dugu Yan wasn't talented enough.
Even if they enjoy the same treatment, the hope of suppressing the poison with their own cultivation level, like Dugu Bo, is still slim.
This is why Dugu Bo has been trying his best to find another way to suppress snake venom.
Scattered around the pool are dozens of rare medicinal herbs that have long been extinct in the outside world.
Each one exudes a unique luster and spirit.
Beside the Yangquan spring, on the scorching earth, grows a strange flower that is entirely fiery red.
The petals resemble burning flames, just like the delicate beauty of a fiery apricot.
On one side of the extremely cold Yin Spring, a fairy herb, its entire body ice-blue and shaped like an eight-petaled orchid, quietly blooms, surrounded by a chilling aura.
It was none other than the Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass.
The two immortal herbs, one yin and one yang, each guarded their own territory, facing each other from afar.
In addition, the walls of the pots are covered with a wide variety of other rare and precious herbs.
However, most of the Jade Frost Whites couldn't recognize the name.
"This is my herb garden."
Dugu Bo crossed his arms and said with considerable pride.
This medicinal herb garden has always been something he's very proud of.
"The Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire..."
Yu Shuangbai murmured softly, her gaze fixed on the red and blue spring water.
More accurately, it should be below the red and blue spring water.
He could feel a kind of unseen resonance.
The Ice Dragon King Martial Soul within his body also began to stir with excitement.
Clearly, the remains of the two Dragon Kings must have come from beneath the spring water of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.
"The Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire?"
Dugu Bo's powerful hearing, at the level of a Title Douluo, allowed him to keenly perceive Yu Shuangbai's mutterings.
Could this be the name of this precious land?
He stumbled upon this treasure land by chance and turned it into his own medicinal herb garden.
However, they did not know the specific origin of this treasure land.
Hearing Yu Shuangbai murmur like this, Dugu Bo immediately understood.
This young man must be very familiar with this precious land.
The more Yu Shuangbai knew, the happier Dugu Bo became.
This would further demonstrate that what he said was true.
The greater the chance of curing him and his granddaughter Dugu Yan from the severe poisoning, the better!
"How is it, Young Master Yu?"
"Take anything you need."
"As long as it can cure the snake venom in my body and Yan Yan's body."
Dugu Bo said.
Yu Shuangbai withdrew her gaze, suppressing the restlessness arising from her martial spirit.
"Um."
"I will keep my promise."
"But before that, I need to retrieve some things to ensure the best treatment results."
"Of course, you can try treatment first, but the results might not be very good."
"Senior Dugu, what is your choice?"
Taking something away naturally refers to the Ice and Fire Dragon Soul beneath the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.
Yu Shuangbai had a premonition.
After coming into contact with the Ice and Fire Dragon Soul beneath the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, he will surely undergo a transformation.
If the Ice Dragon King's martial soul were to improve once again, he would be fully confident that he could use his own power to neutralize the snake venom in Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan's bodies without suffering any damage.
They can even ensure that they utilize the snake venom accumulated in their bodies to enhance themselves.
As for now.
Then the only way for most time travelers to obtain the Yin-Yang Well is the old method.
Following Tang San's method in the original work, the Ice and Fire Refining technique was used to detoxify the body using the two immortal herbs.
"Go and get what you need."
Dugu Bo did not hesitate at all.
It's still the same old story.
With the mysterious and powerful Snow Emperor around, Yu Shuangbai had no reason to deceive him.
He would naturally choose the optimal solution.
"it is good."
Yu Shuangbai smiled.
He quite liked Dugu Bo's clear-sighted personality.
"Sister Xue'er, could you please wait outside for a moment?"
Yu Shuangbai said softly, and then slowly walked towards the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Spring.
Upon seeing this, Xue Di's eyes narrowed.
She shouted:
"Little Frost White, what are you doing?"
"Go to the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire," Yu Shuangbai said truthfully.
"No way!" Xue Di firmly rejected the idea.
She could clearly sense the power within the Yin-Yang of Ice and Fire.
Even with her strength, she couldn't guarantee staying down there for too long.
Although Yu Shuangbai possesses the Ice Dragon King Martial Soul of ultimate ice, she is still only at the Soul Venerable level.
Xue Di was unwilling to see him take any risks.
Yu Shuangbai is not the type to waste words explaining things.
But what he couldn't do was face to face with Xue Di, who treated him like family.
The only explanation I could offer was this:
"Sister Xue'er, everything will be alright."
He stepped forward and gently took Xue Di's soft, boneless, fair hand in his.
Her voice carried a hint of coquettishness.
In stark contrast to her previous cold and ruthless demeanor when she crushed Yu Tianheng, Dugu Yan, who was watching from the side, slightly opened her mouth.
"Sister Xue'er, I'm confident that what I need is beneath that spring."
"I need it to fulfill my promise to you and Sister Bing'er."
"Don't worry, okay?"
Only in front of the Snow Empress and the Ice Empress would Yu Shuangbai show this side of herself.
Xue Di usually falls for this kind of thing the most.
Seeing the earnestness in Yu Shuangbai's eyes, her heart softened.
Even the firm belief that had been held onto began to waver.
His tone softened, losing its previous firmness.
How confident are you?
"100%".
Actually, no.
However, in order to put Xue Di at ease, Yu Shuangbai chose to lie.
He knew that if he didn't say so, the Snow Emperor wouldn't allow him to take the risk.
Xue Di didn't speak, she just looked at him.
After a moment, she parted her lips slightly:
"Alright, take this with you. If things don't work out, retreat immediately."
She raised her hand, and an ice crystal pendant appeared in her palm.
"Yes, I know!"
Yu Shuangbai took the pendant and nodded emphatically to assure her.
Then, under the watchful gaze of the Snow Empress, the Ice Dragon King's martial spirit possessed him.
With dragon horns on its head, Yu Shuangbai stepped straight into the icy blue spring water that exuded extreme cold.
