Chapter 226 The Decision That Poison Cannot Kill: Departure for the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire!
At the edge of the training ground, the disciples who were dispersing stopped in their tracks.
"The Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire? What kind of place is that?"
Chen Lu turned around and looked at the disciple who had run in, his face full of doubt.
Wang Yanfeng also turned back, frowned and thought for a moment, then shook his head: "Never heard of it. But it sounds pretty impressive?"
The disciples around him whispered among themselves, but no one could answer the question.
The name was too unfamiliar to them, and there seemed to be no similar record in the sect's records.
But Liu Yuan's reaction was different.
He stood on the ring, his face, which had been slightly tired from the end of the sparring match, suddenly lit up.
The purple-gold light in his three pupils flickered slightly, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.
"Have we finally found it?" he said in a low voice, but Elder Chen, who was standing next to him, heard it clearly.
Elder Chen looked at Liu Yuan's changing expression, somewhat puzzled.
He had known Liu Yuan for so long, and he had rarely seen this disciple show such an expression.
It was a look that combined anticipation, excitement, and a determined spirit.
Liu Yuan took a deep breath, his gaze passing over the arena to the disciple whose face was tired but couldn't hide his excitement.
The eye of ice and fire.
This name means nothing to the vast majority of people on the Douluo Continent.
But in Liu Yuan's memory, these four words represented the greatest opportunity on this continent.
It is an extremely rare natural treasure.
Two springs, one cold and one hot, converge to create a unique climate.
In this extreme climate, there grows miraculous herbs that cannot be found anywhere else.
They absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth from the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, and each one has the power to defy fate.
Ten thousand years ago, Tang San obtained the immortal herb from the Yin-Yang Well, which completely improved his and his companions' aptitudes, laying the foundation for their future godhood.
Without the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, there would be no Shrek Seven Devils, nor would there be the Sea God Tang San.
And now, this treasure trove has been found in Sunset Forest.
Liu Yuan's heart beat a little faster.
These days, he has been planning how to improve his abilities.
Condensing a soul core is the first step, but it's far from enough.
He needs more methods and more trump cards to gain a foothold in the chaotic world to come.
The immortal herbs found in the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire are the most direct and effective method.
If he could obtain those immortal herbs, his cultivation level could rise to another level, and his martial soul might undergo a further transformation.
More importantly, Du Busi can also take this opportunity to break through to level 99, the Limit Douluo.
Although Du Bu Si's injuries seemed to be recovering, Liu Yuan knew in his heart that the threat from Ye Xi Shui and Long Xiao Yao was still there.
If Poison Undying cannot break through level 99, the Body Sect will never have the initiative when facing the Holy Spirit Cult.
The immortal herb within the Yin-Yang symbol of ice and fire might just be the key to crossing that threshold.
However, problems also exist.
Liu Yuan knew very well that the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye was not an unclaimed place.
Ten thousand years ago, Tang San set up the Jade Phosphorous Seven Absolute Flower Formation there to seal off that area, in order to turn it into his own "back garden".
But after careful consideration, Liu Yuan felt that there was no major problem.
Tang San is already a god.
Gods cannot arbitrarily interfere in matters of the mortal realm; this is a constraint imposed by the laws of heaven and earth.
Unless the Body Sect does something that crosses the bottom line of the gods, Tang San would not personally take action.
However, if it were just about picking some immortal herbs, it wouldn't be something Tang San would do to warrant such a large-scale operation.
So, it's worth taking a gamble.
Liu Yuan made a decision.
At this moment, Poison Undying also walked to the edge of the arena.
He glanced at the disciple, then turned to look at Liu Yuan, his brows furrowing slightly.
"The Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire?" Poison Immortal repeated the name, his tone somewhat unfamiliar. "What kind of place is this? I've lived for decades, how come I've never heard of it?"
Elder Chen also stepped forward, his face also filled with curiosity: "Yes, Liu Yuan, why did you send your disciple to find this place? It sounds like a natural terrain."
The disciples below the stage also perked up their ears.
Liu Yuan turned around, looking at Du Busi and Elder Chen, as well as the disciples who had gathered around. He didn't keep them in suspense and explained directly.
"That's a very special place. I read about it in an ancient book. Deep in the Sunset Forest, there's a Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, a naturally formed treasure land. Many rare herbs grow there, which are extremely beneficial for cultivation. Plant-type soul beasts can achieve twice the results with half the effort when cultivating there."
Elder Chen's eyes narrowed slightly when he heard the words "immortal herb".
Even Poison Undying abandoned his previous nonchalant expression and became serious.
Liu Yuan continued, "Ten thousand years ago, Tang San and his companions were able to achieve their later success largely because of the immortal herbs in the Yin-Yang Well. Those immortal herbs improved their aptitude and transformed them. Without those immortal herbs, the Shrek Seven Devils might not have risen to prominence so quickly."
This statement sparked a low murmur of discussion in the training ground.
"Tang San? That Sea God Tang San?"
"The Shrek Seven Devils from ten thousand years ago were enhanced by the immortal herbs from there?"
"No wonder Senior Brother Liu Yuan sent people to look for it; that place does sound extraordinary."
Poison Undying ignored the surrounding chatter. He stared at Liu Yuan and asked in a deep voice, "You mean, those immortal herbs are still there?"
Liu Yuan nodded: "It should be. The climate of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well is special, and immortal herbs grow very quickly there. Over the years, there have only increased, not decreased, the number of immortal herbs there. As long as you can go in, you can harvest a lot of good things."
Poison Undying's eyes lit up.
He certainly knew what the immortal herb meant.
As a level 98 Super Douluo, he has been stuck at this level for many years.
If there really were a magical herb that could improve physical condition and enhance cultivation, his chances of reaching level 99 would be much greater.
Moreover, although Liu Yuan's current cultivation momentum is very strong, it also consumes a lot of resources.
Having a stockpile of immortal herbs would be a huge boost to the sect's development.
"You sent your disciple to search, and he really found it?" Poison Immortal turned his head and looked at the disciple who was still panting by the arena.
The disciple nodded hurriedly and replied loudly, "Reporting to the Sect Master, we found it! We searched for a long time in the depths of Sunset Forest following the clues given by Senior Brother Liu Yuan, and finally found that area. It's exactly as Senior Brother described."
After hearing this, Du Busi's lips curled up slightly.
"Okay," he said, then looked at Liu Yuan, "Now that we've found it, let's go take a look."
