Chapter 83: Arrival at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well
Lin Mo suppressed the excitement in his heart and turned to look at Ye Lingling and Ye Linyuan. In a steady voice, he said, "Teacher, Sister Lingling, I will go with Senior Poison Douluo. If everything goes smoothly, I should not be gone for too long."
Ye Lingling pursed her lips slightly. A trace of worry flashed through her purple eyes, but in the end, she said nothing and only nodded silently.
Ye Linyuan stroked his beard and spoke slowly, "Since he is personally vouching for you, I naturally trust him."
He turned to Dugu Bo and said, "Old Poison, although your temper is a little strange, once you give your word, you have never gone back on it."
Dugu Bo let out a cold snort. A flash of displeasure crossed his emerald snake pupils. "Ye Linyuan, stop beating around the bush."
"I have already sworn an oath. Even if things fail in the end, I will not harm this boy in the slightest. I still have that much credibility."
A faint smile appeared on Ye Linyuan's face as he nodded. "In that case, Xiao Mo, go with Senior."
"As for that child Yanyan, I will look after her for the time being. Although the toxins in her body have been temporarily suppressed, the follow up treatment will still take some effort."
Hearing this, Dugu Bo's gaze shifted slightly. He gave Ye Linyuan a deep look. How could he fail to understand Ye Linyuan's intention?
"Fine," Dugu Bo said in a heavy voice. "I will leave Yanyan with you for now."
He did not say anything more.
Lin Mo turned and walked out of the room, arriving outside the Medical Hall.
The three Committee Members, Meng Shenji, Bai Baoshan, and Zhi Lin, were still waiting in the nearby open space. Seeing him come out, they immediately stepped forward.
"Three Committee Members, this junior needs to go out with Senior Poison Douluo to handle some private matters. I should return soon."
Lin Mo bowed respectfully to the three of them and briefly explained the situation.
Chief Meng Shenji looked at him with a serious expression. "Lin Mo, are you certain everything is alright? If that old Poison dares make things difficult for you, the academy will absolutely not stand by and watch."
Lin Mo shook his head. "Committee Members, please rest assured. Senior Dugu has no ill intent. He is only taking me to identify some medicinal herbs."
Seeing this, the three Committee Members exchanged glances and felt somewhat relieved.
Dugu Bo did not delay any further. Spirit Power surged around him, and he immediately took Lin Mo into the air, turning into a streak of light that shot straight toward the outskirts of Heaven Dou City.
A Titled Douluo's flying speed was astonishingly fast.
Before long, Heaven Dou City had already been left far behind, and the two of them were flying above a dense forest.
Below them, the trees were lush and the mountains rose and fell. It was the Sunset Forest, not far from Heaven Dou City.
Without slowing down, Dugu Bo flew straight toward the depths of the forest.
Soon, a hill around 500 meters high appeared ahead. He shifted direction and descended toward the summit.
The two landed steadily on the top of the hill.
Looking down from above, there was a massive inverted cone shaped mountain basin below, seemingly bottomless.
Dense heat surged out of the basin, rising into the air as thick white mist.
A wave of heat filled the surroundings, mixed with a pungent sulfurous smell.
They were currently standing on the steep cliff at the edge of the basin.
Lin Mo looked down at the scene below, and his heart began pounding uncontrollably.
The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. It really was the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
He took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed the ecstasy in his heart, keeping his expression calm.
Dugu Bo stood at the edge of the cliff and glanced at the sea of mist below. In a low voice, he said, "Boy, do you see that place down there? That is one of my medicinal gardens."
He paused briefly.
"It is also the biggest reason why I, who should have long since died from my own toxins, have managed to live until now."
Lin Mo listened quietly without interrupting.
Dugu Bo continued, "The environment in this valley is extremely special. It is very effective at suppressing the backlash of the jade phosphor serpent poison inside me."
"Every time the toxins flare up to the point where I can hardly endure them, I come here and stay for a while. It eases the pain considerably."
His tone shifted, and a trace of helplessness appeared on his face.
"But even so, I cannot remain here for too long. The environment in this place is too overbearing. If I stay too long, even I cannot withstand it."
He looked toward Lin Mo.
"That is also why I never brought Yanyan here, even though I clearly knew she was suffering from the torment of the toxins."
"With her current cultivation, surviving here would already be difficult, let alone using this environment to suppress the toxins."
"Alright, follow me down."
After saying that, Dugu Bo moved and leaped straight toward the bottom of the cliff.
His speed was extremely fast. In only a few jumps, he plunged into the dense mist and disappeared.
Seeing this, the corners of Lin Mo's mouth curled up ever so slightly.
He did not hesitate. With a thought, the Blood Qi within his body began circulating rapidly.
A rich blood colored light spread from his back, quickly condensing into shape and turning into a pair of wings that resembled enormous bat wings.
The edges of the wings glowed with a faint red light, looking somewhat illusory.
Lin Mo gently flapped the blood wings, and his entire body rose lightly into the air, flying toward the mist shrouded basin below.
He was not slow. It did not take long before he caught up to Dugu Bo, who had intentionally slowed down to wait for him.
When Dugu Bo saw that Lin Mo was actually relying on his own ability to fly down, a flash of unconcealed surprise immediately appeared in his eyes.
He stopped in midair, his emerald snake pupils carefully examining the pair of blood wings behind Lin Mo.
"Boy, what kind of method is this?" Dugu Bo could not help asking. "As far as I know, your Charmander Spirit and your Body Martial Soul, even with that external Spirit Bone included, should not grant you the ability to fly."
The blood wings flapped slowly, allowing Lin Mo to hover beside him.
Lin Mo smiled and said, "Senior, this is only a crude application of Blood Qi. By condensing Blood Qi into wings, short distance flight is still possible."
He then looked at Dugu Bo with a faint smile. "Senior deliberately went ahead first. Could it be that you wanted to test this junior again?"
His intentions had been seen through, but Dugu Bo showed no embarrassment and did not deny it either.
"You really do have a lot of secrets, boy."
He looked at Lin Mo deeply.
"Now I am even more convinced that you can solve my problem. Come, keep up."
After speaking, his figure accelerated again and rushed toward the bottom of the valley.
Lin Mo naturally did not dare be careless. He flapped his blood wings repeatedly and followed closely behind.
The valley was not too deep. The two soon passed through the dense mist and landed at the bottom.
The scene at the bottom of the valley was completely different from what it looked like above.
Dugu Bo stood in front of Lin Mo and raised a hand, pointing toward the various strangely shaped plants all around them. His voice carried a trace of pride.
"Boy, look carefully. This is my medicinal garden."
"Almost all of the rare medicines I have collected over the years are planted here. In addition, there are some peculiar plants that were already growing here from the start."
He spread his hand slightly.
"One could say that this place contains almost everything. All kinds of poisons, all kinds of tonics, whatever you could want."
He sighed.
"To be honest with you, I know very well that among these strange flowers and rare herbs, there definitely exists a method to completely resolve the toxins inside my body."
"But the key problem is..."
At this point, Dugu Bo paused, and for the first time, a trace of bitterness appeared on his aged face.
"Even though I have played with poisons all my life and pride myself on having a deep understanding of them, I cannot even recognize one or two out of every ten things here."
"I do not dare test them at random. If I do, I will only die faster."
He turned his head and looked at Lin Mo with burning eyes.
"If there truly are Heaven and Earth Treasures in this world that can help Yanyan and me complete a beneficial mutation of our Martial Souls..."
"...then the greatest possibility lies within this valley."
