Chapter 99:The Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire
Five hours later.
The bright moon hung high, and the stars shone brightly.
Two figures, one in gold and one in green, streaked across the night sky, finally landing at an inverted cone-shaped mountain hollow.
"Your Highness, this is my villa.
The herb garden I mentioned is below."
Listening to Dugu Bo's introduction, Qin Ming looked down.
At this moment, thick heat was constantly rising from the mountain hollow.
A few pungent sulfurous odors filled Qin Ming's nostrils.
Qin Ming knew in his heart that the greatest opportunity on the entire Douluo Continent was right in front of him.
Looking around, Qin Ming couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
'It's fortunate that I didn't choose the method of carpet-searching back then; I was a bit too simplistic.
The Sunset Forest is not small, and it is home to many soul beasts with cultivation levels of over ten thousand years.
At the same time, there are too many terrains similar to this place.
Although the poison array can be used as a basis for judgment, the workload of finding this place is still considerable.'
Just as Qin Ming was pondering, Dugu Bo spoke up again, reminding him, "
Your Highness, I must remind you again.
This residence of mine is filled with violent spiritual energy. Your cultivation level is still low, and you probably can't stay here for too long.
Staying too long now could potentially leave permanent aftereffects on your body."
As he spoke, Dugu Bo rubbed his temples.
On the way here, Dugu Bo had already reiterated the precautions many times.
The reason Dugu Bo repeatedly reminded Qin Ming was not only because he was worried about Qin Ming's safety, but also because
he was concerned about Yue Guan and Gui Mei.
When Qin Ming said he wanted to go to Sunset Forest alone, both Yue Guan and Gui Mei disagreed,
declaring that they would accompany him to protect him.
Only after Qin Ming firmly expressed his intentions did Yue Guan and Gui Mei temporarily agree to his request.
However, judging from their demeanor, Dugu Bo knew that if they didn't see Qin Ming by tomorrow...
The two of them would inevitably delve deep into the Sunset Forest, conducting a thorough search...
At this moment, Qin Ming also came
to his senses. Looking at Dugu Bo in front of him, Qin Ming guessed the other's thoughts.
Realizing the problem, Qin Ming sighed inwardly.
'Elder Yue Guan, Elder Gui Mei, Bishop Ke Lin, I'm sorry this time.' It wasn't that
Qin Ming didn't trust Yue Guan and the others, nor was it that he was unwilling to give the Spirit Hall members the immortal herbs.
However, because of Bibi Dong's presence, Qin Ming wanted to delay this as much as possible.
At the same time, Qin Ming wanted to firmly grasp the right to distribute the immortal herbs.
Qin Ming didn't want Yue Guan and the others to know the specific number of immortal herbs.
It was for this purpose that Qin Ming had to temporarily leave Yue Guan and the others behind and come here with Dugu Bo to search.
While thinking, Qin Ming looked at Dugu Bo and said.
"Elder Dugu Bo, let's go down first.
I know what I'm doing; I won't stay too long."
As he spoke, countless golden flames emanated from Qin Ming's body, transforming into a crimson-gold robe. At the same time, the Fiery Azure Wolf Martial Soul appeared behind Qin Ming.
As his second soul ring lit up, two golden vertical lines appeared on Qin Ming's face.
After activating all his status-type soul skills, Qin Ming followed behind Dugu Bo, flying towards the interior of the mountain valley...
Standing in mid-air, Qin Ming took in the entire scene of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.
Below the valley, countless crystals stood in the very center of the valley.
There was a special hot spring; the hot spring area wasn't large, but it was divided into two parts. In the oval-shaped pool, the hot spring water was a striking contrast of blue-white and vermilion.
Even more remarkably, though within the same pool, they were distinctly separate, never encroaching on each other and always remaining on their own side.
The billowing steam, originating from the area between the two types of hot spring water, rose continuously until it reached the mountain pass before slowly dissipating.
Around the spring, countless strange plants swayed gracefully.
Looking at the scene before him, Qin Ming couldn't help but sigh.
"Truly a blessed land."
With that, Qin Ming and Dugu Bo slowly landed on the ground.
A barely suppressed excitement flashed in Qin Ming's eyes.
A quick glance earlier revealed that there were probably no fewer than twenty immortal herbs in this Yin-Yang Well…
Qin Ming was now certain that the immortal herbs consumed by Lan Yuxuan and his companions in the original story were not transplanted by the Tang Clan in later generations, but rather originally grew here.
After glancing at Dugu Bo beside him, Qin Ming fell into deep thought again.
'Should I tell Dugu Bo about the immortal herb?'
After hesitating for a moment, Qin Ming decided to reveal some information to Dugu Bo.
After all, the matter of the immortal herb was no secret among the higher-ups of the Spirit Hall, and Dugu Bo would eventually find out.
Qin Ming didn't want his concealment today to leave any lingering resentment between him and Dugu Bo.
However, Qin Ming didn't explicitly state the effects of the immortal herb.
This was his last bit of caution towards Dugu Bo.
"Elder Dugu Bo, the importance of your herb garden is beyond your imagination.
Every herb here is a rare gem, and there are quite a few immortal herbs that are even more valuable.
The value of this herb garden far exceeds the two soul bones I gave you..."
At this moment, Dugu Bo was slightly stunned.
"Immortal herbs? Are they very precious?"
"Very precious!"
Looking at Qin Ming's serious gaze, Dugu Bo suddenly chuckled.
"Your Highness, even if these herbs are important, can they be more important than my son's and my lives?
I know Ah Xin's health; if you hadn't appeared, he probably wouldn't have lasted more than a few years.
I estimate he wouldn't be in much better shape.
It's because of you that my son and I were able to escape our original fate."
As he spoke, Dugu Bo's smile widened.
"Besides, I don't understand the value of these herbs.
There are many of them that I don't even recognize.
You could have simply picked the herbs without telling me, but you chose to explain everything to me.
You treated me with sincerity, so how could I be the kind of person who breaks promises?"
Hearing Dugu Bo's statement, Qin Ming's gaze froze.
After a long while, Qin Ming shook his head, inwardly mocking himself, and turned to walk away.
Under Dugu Bo's astonished gaze, Qin Ming ran his hand across his storage ring.
A sharp jade dagger and a pair of special gloves made of ice silk appeared in Qin Ming's hands.
These were things Qin Ming had prepared in advance after obtaining the Immortal Herb Catalogue.
After all, almost every immortal herb has a unique way of being harvested and stored.
For example, the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass must be harvested using iron tools, while the Fiery Apricot requires jade tools…
Lost in thought, Qin Ming bent down and gently rotated his wrist.
A strangely shaped herb was thus plucked by Qin Ming…
