Chapter 34 The Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire
"What on earth are you thinking, kid?"
Dugu Bo's eyes were deep and unfathomable. He felt that something was wrong, but since the other party had made the first move, he couldn't quite put his finger on what was strange.
"Master, Uncle Guan gave them all to me, what about yours?"
Xie Mo blinked, looking at Dugu Bo expectantly. "Where's the Ninth-Grade Dragon Fungus? Where's the Ten-Thousand-Year Orchid Bell?"
Seeing Xie Mo change the subject, he also looked defeated. What else could he do but spoil his disciple, whom he had finally managed to take in?
"Don't eat it all at once. Wait until the medicinal effects have been fully absorbed before eating the next one."
After tossing two herbs to Xie Mo, Dugu Bo turned around to leave. On the side that Xie Mo couldn't see, Dugu Bo's brows furrowed.
Happily putting the two herbs back into his Ruyi Treasure Pouch, Xie Mo watched Dugu Bo's departing figure and felt that something was amiss.
"Master!"
Xie Mo finally realized something was wrong. Dugu Bo had left early due to other matters, and he hadn't paid much attention at the time, since the other party couldn't stay with him forever. Now, smelling the fishy stench that was stronger than usual, he finally remembered that Dugu Bo was seriously poisoned. Could it be that the poisoning had flared up?
He couldn't possibly remember all those symptoms from the original story, nor did he memorize them or have hyperthymesia; otherwise, he wouldn't even need to ask Chrysanthemum Douluo for knowledge about immortal items.
Having lived in Douluo Continent for several years, many memories of the original work have faded into his life, and he can only remember the general plot.
"What is it? What do you need me for now?"
Dugu Bo turned around with a big smile. He really liked this disciple who had brought him honor.
"Are you... poisoned?"
Xie Mo spoke cautiously, remembering that this was Dugu Bo's biggest secret. Although he had become Dugu Bo's disciple, he didn't know what the consequences would be if he exposed it.
"How could I possibly be poisoned? Don't forget my title: Poison!"
Dugu Bo raised an eyebrow, his tone arrogant, showing no sign that this guy had been deeply poisoned and had been dead for countless years without the suppression of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.
"Master, I'm very sensitive to toxins, so please don't hide it from me."
Xie Mo appeared helpless, but in reality, he was using known facts to trick Dugu Bo into confessing.
As expected, Dugu Bo had no doubt that Xie Mo already knew, but his expression was rather unpleasant, and he seemed somewhat hesitant.
"Alright, I won't hide it from you anymore, I have indeed been poisoned."
"Although I am known as the Poisoner, I cannot cure the poison in my own body. How laughable."
Suddenly, tears welled up in Dugu Bo's old eyes. He thought of his son and daughter-in-law who had died from poisoning, and of Dugu Yan, who was beautiful but had long been poisoned.
He wasn't sure whether it would be the black-haired person sending off the white-haired person, or the white-haired person sending off the black-haired person.
However, being Dugu Bo, he quickly composed himself and told Xie Mo everything.
"In fact, one of the main reasons I took you in was because I saw your ability to detoxify. I don't know if it will work for my body, but I have to give it a try anyway."
Dugu Bo's gaze was resolute. His granddaughter had a bright future ahead of her, so he would use his body to test her.
His gaze slowly shifted to Xie Mo. He hadn't expected Xie Mo to discover this so early, catching him completely off guard.
"I see."
Xie Mo nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.
"If there's anything I can do to help, I will do my best. Master, you've protected me as I've grown and given me so many resources, so this is the least I can do to repay you."
Upon hearing this, a barely perceptible look of satisfaction flashed in Dugu Bo's eyes. He was no innocent girl who had never ventured out into the world; he had seen all sorts of people before. Now it seemed that Xie Mo hadn't gone astray during his years as an orphan.
However, if he could get away with it under his nose, Dugu Bo would accept it.
"Come on, Xiao Mo, your old master will take you to see my greatest secret."
Dugu Bo's dark green eyes darted around, and after thinking of something, he grabbed Xie Mo and left the city, heading towards his secret treasure.
Xie Mo's eyes revealed curiosity and anticipation at the right moment, but in reality, he was extremely excited. The legendary Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, he had arrived!
The speed of a Title Douluo far surpasses that of an ordinary Soul Master. Soon, Dugu Bo skillfully led Xie Mo into the Sunset Forest, emanating a terrifying aura. The Soul Beasts sensed the impending danger and quickly fled in panic, causing a commotion in the Sunset Forest.
Before long, they arrived at the depths of the Sunset Forest, where the poisonous fog seemed to blot out the sky, forming a high wall.
Under Dugu Bo's control, the poisonous fog automatically dispersed to form a passage. Xie Mo subconsciously held his breath and followed Dugu Bo inside.
Inside the poison circle was a hill about 500 meters high. Perhaps afraid of wasting time, Dugu Bo carried Xie Mo and ran up the hill. His toes touched the ground lightly, and he seemed to be walking very slowly. However, the messy hair on Xie Mo's head already indicated that Dugu Bo was very fast. Each step covered more than ten meters.
They soon reached the top of the mountain, where thick heat rose from a mountain hollow, and the air was filled with the faint scent of hot springs.
Dugu Bo grabbed Xie Mo and jumped down, the fierce wind whistling in his ears. It seems that even Tang San didn't get this kind of treatment back then.
Once he had a firm footing, Xie Mo slowly widened his eyes. The scene before him was not entirely the same as he had imagined. The hot spring was not large, but it was divided into two parts, with the milky white and vermilion spring water clearly separated and not overlapping.
The surrounding area is like a paradise for plants, with all kinds of plants in different shapes and sizes, and all of them are rare varieties.
Dugu Bo opened his mouth and spat out a dark green cinnabar pearl, which, under his control, slowly flew towards Xie Mo.
"Little Mo, swallow this pill. It will allow you to stay here for a while. The power of ice and fire here will constantly invade your body. Staying here for too long will damage your foundation."
Xie Mo felt nauseous looking at the pill that Dugu Bo spat out.
"Master, no need. The ice and fire power here can't affect me."
Xie Mo blinked. He wasn't lying to avoid swallowing the pill. The Five Spirit King hadn't been used for nothing all this time. His body was gradually being assimilated by the power of the Five Elements through repeated transformations. The power dissipated by the two Dragon Kings still belonged to the Five Elements.
Dugu Bo raised an eyebrow, his mind in turmoil. He believed Xie Mo wouldn't joke around, but staying here for too long would indeed harm his health. He had never even brought his granddaughter here before.
Even so, we should still be worried.
"I just showed you around today; I'll take you back in a little while."
Dugu Bo put his hands behind his back and walked away without looking back. His disciple had quite a secret, but he didn't care. All he cared about was the safety of the two of them in the future. As for the so-called secret, he wasn't curious.
He admitted that he had ulterior motives, so regardless of whether he could cure the poison, he would do everything in his power to protect Xie Mo as he grew up.
This was Dugu Bo's promise.
My tooth was cracked, but all I did was eat a chive and egg pancake...
