Time flew by.
Ye Han and his group had arrived at the Sunset Forest.
They were heading toward the core area of the forest.
It was sunset, and the sky was painted with a crimson glow, as if dyed in blood.
Ling Yuan, tall and alluring, walked at the front.
She held Ye Han's hand with one hand and, with the other, held a spirit power chain that bound Xiao Wu by the neck.
This time, to prevent Xiao Wu from escaping, not only was her neck bound, but her limbs were also restrained.
Along the way, Xiao Wu kept casting pitiful and seductive glances at Ye Han, as if saying:
"Master, it's so uncomfortable being tied up with this spirit power chain~ Can you help me loosen it?"
Ling Yuan, seeing this, finally couldn't take it anymore. She yanked the chain hard and said angrily, "If you dare act seductive again, I'll kill you and make rabbit head soup right now!"
"Ah... wuwu..."
Xiao Wu cried out in pain and clung to Ye Han's arm, whimpering, "Wuwu... Master, Xiao Wu is scared..."
Ye Han, of course, ignored her. With a shake of his arm, he pushed her away.
Xiao Wu, thinking her master didn't want to reveal his identity, didn't dare say anything more.
Ling Yuan, satisfied with this, then asked, "My dear husband, didn't you say Du Gu Bo would be waiting for us in the Sunset Forest? Why haven't we seen him even though we're almost at the core area?"
Ye Han scratched his head, unsure if Du Gu Bo was even there.
According to the original story, the Ice Fire Two Eyes was located in the core area of the Sunset Forest.
The core area was also protected by the poisonous mist emitted by the Seven-Colored Poisonous Flower.
Once they approached that mist, they should be close to the Ice Fire Two Eyes.
If Du Gu Bo was at the Ice Fire Two Eyes, he should definitely be able to sense their presence.
"Stop! There's something ahead!"
Just as Ye Han was pondering, Ling Yuan suddenly shouted.
Ye Han and Xiao Wu turned to look and saw a large expanse of green poisonous mist ahead.
"This is the poisonous mist created by the Seven-Colored Poisonous Flower," Ye Han immediately explained, shocking both Xiao Wu and Ling Yuan.
"My dear husband, is the Ice Fire Two Eyes inside there?!" Ling Yuan exclaimed in surprise.
She had read about the terrifying nature of this poison in the Spirit Hall's ancient texts.
Unless one was skilled in poison, even a Title Douluo would have to stay far away!
"Ah, Master, Xiao Wu is scared! Xiao Wu doesn't want to go in!"
Xiao Wu, having heard about this from her mother, was terrified and clung tightly to Ye Han's arm, pressing herself against him.
This scene made Ling Yuan furious, and she was about to teach this shameless rabbit a lesson.
"Whoosh—!"
However, at that moment, a dark green figure emerged from the mist.
It quickly appeared before Ye Han and the others—it was Du Gu Bo.
He exuded the chilling aura of a Title Douluo.
"Senior Du Gu Bo."
Ye Han and Ling Yuan, out of courtesy, greeted him respectfully.
"Ah! A Title Douluo!"
Xiao Wu was instantly terrified and buried herself in Ye Han's arms.
Ye Han and Ling Yuan both wanted to push her away, but Du Gu Bo suddenly laughed heartily:
"Haha, Holy Son, I didn't expect you to arrive so quickly. And Elder Ling Yuan is still with you."
As he spoke, Du Gu Bo also glanced at Xiao Wu in Ye Han's arms and chuckled, "Hmm? Who is this little girl? Did I scare her?"
"Hahaha, don't be afraid... Wait! This is... a 100,000-year spirit beast in human form!"
Du Gu Bo stared intently at Xiao Wu, his voice trembling slightly.
"Hehe~"
Ye Han, of course, knew the value of a 100,000-year spirit beast.
Worried that Du Gu Bo might have ill intentions, he patted Xiao Wu's head and smiled, "She's a newly tamed pet. She won't cause any trouble. Also, please keep this a secret."
Xiao Wu, trembling, hid in Ye Han's arms, not daring to look up.
Du Gu Bo nodded, though the shock in his eyes hadn't faded.
His admiration for Ye Han grew even stronger, solidifying his resolve to befriend him.
"Ahem!"
Ling Yuan, seeing Ye Han and Xiao Wu like this, felt a surge of jealousy and dissatisfaction.
But in front of outsiders, she wouldn't embarrass Ye Han, so she coughed lightly to remind him.
"Ah..."
Ye Han snapped out of it and quickly pushed Xiao Wu away, speaking seriously, "Alright, Senior Du Gu Bo, today I'm here to fulfill my promise to cure your poison."
"Take us to the Ice Fire Two Eyes first. I need to see the immortal herbs, and then I'll give you the method to detoxify."
Du Gu Bo, firmly believing that Ye Han wouldn't deceive him, nodded repeatedly, "Of course, of course!"
He then conjured a barrier of poisonous spirit energy.
Leading Ye Han and the others, they walked through the poisonous mist.
The poisonous spirit energy neutralized the mist from the Seven-Colored Poisonous Flower, allowing them to pass through unimpeded.
Once through the mist, a breathtaking sight greeted them.
Before them was a massive valley, and at its center was a spring.
The spring was incredibly peculiar—one side was blazing hot, while the other was icy cold.
The two extremes coexisted in a yin-yang balance, exuding an aura of both fire and ice.
Rare immortal herbs grew around the spring, emitting a mesmerizing glow and fragrance.
"Wow!"
Xiao Wu was utterly stunned, her mouth agape in amazement.
Even the well-traveled Ling Yuan was momentarily speechless.
Ye Han, however, remained calm, as he had already known about this place in his previous life.
Now, all that was left was to pack up all these immortal herbs and take them away!
"Hehe, Holy Son, this is the Ice Fire Two Eyes. The immortal herbs are all down there."
Du Gu Bo spoke with a hint of pride, though it pained him to part with the herbs.
But compared to his life and befriending this young man, it was a small price to pay.
Ye Han nodded in satisfaction and then got straight to the point, "Senior Du Gu Bo, your Jade Phosphorus Serpent Emperor Spirit continuously generates poison as your spirit power grows."
"If this poison isn't dealt with, it will accumulate in your body, causing you to suffer from severe toxicity backlash."
Du Gu Bo, having his condition laid bare, was both excited and respectful, "Yes, yes! That's exactly my situation! Please, Holy Son, tell me how to solve this!"
Ye Han smiled and took out two spirit bones from his spirit tool, handing them over, "You just need a suitable vessel to contain the poison. Spirit bones are the best choice."
"By forcing the poison into the spirit bones, they will bear the toxicity, preventing it from harming your body."
"However, since the poison has accumulated over the years, this process will take at least several years."
"These two spirit bones are specially prepared for you and your granddaughter, Du Gu Yan, to carry the poison."
Du Gu Bo, hearing such a simple solution, initially felt a hint of doubt.
But then, recalling Ye Han's previous miraculous feats, he became fully convinced.
He was also moved that Ye Han not only considered him but also his granddaughter.
"Good! I'll try it right now!"
Following Ye Han's instructions, Du Gu Bo sat down cross-legged.
He began circulating his spirit power, slowly forcing the poison into the spirit bones.
As time passed, Du Gu Bo's complexion gradually improved, and his breathing became more steady.
Finally, when the last trace of poison was forced into the spirit bones, Du Gu Bo's eyes snapped open, a sharp glint flashing within them.
