Chapter 65: Goal Achieved, the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well!
Dugu Bo's concession eased the tense atmosphere between the two of them considerably.
"Enough nonsense," Dugu Bo snorted softly, cutting straight to the point, "What's the deal with the potion you just mentioned? What medicinal ingredients are needed? How long will it take to make?"
Lin Yang was slightly taken aback; he hadn't expected Dugu Bo to skip the first method entirely and choose the second one.
However, he quickly understood the key reason.
The Old Poison Fiend didn't trust his empty words and wanted to try it for himself first.
Dugu Yan didn't have a Soul Bone, but he certainly had one on him.
This could be considered a test.
"The potion is very simple; it can be made at my place anytime."
Lin Yang casually listed the names of several herbs.
Dugu Bo frowned, looking somewhat suspicious: "These are all ordinary herbs. You're not trying to trick me, are you?"
Lin Yang shook his head, his expression calm.
"Your Excellency, if ordinary herbs are combined properly, they can still produce miraculous effects. Seeing is believing; you'll know once you try it yourself."
Dugu Bo glanced at him and didn't say anything more.
Hmph, this kid's guard is truly high!
"Then let's go to your place. I want to see if you can truly turn the mundane into the miraculous!"
Dugu Bo couldn't wait a moment longer. He grabbed Lin Yang's shoulder, soared into the air, and sped all the way into the city, arriving at the Butterfly House.
"This is your clinic?"
Dugu Bo looked at the unremarkable small courtyard, his suspicion deepening.
"That's right."
Lin Yang pushed open the wooden door and happened to run into Catherine, who was tidying up herbs in the courtyard.
"Teacher, you're back..."
"Mhm," Lin Yang nodded, "After you've put the herbs away, go rest. No need to wait for me for dinner."
"Understood, Teacher!"
Catherine stole a glance at the extraordinary-looking Dugu Bo and responded obediently.
As a child from a poor family, she knew best when to do what and wouldn't ask questions she shouldn't.
Afterward, Lin Yang led Dugu Bo to his laboratory.
As soon as Dugu Bo entered, he was drawn to the room full of strangely shaped vessels.
Are these jars, pots, and winding glass tubes all related to refining medicine?
This was completely different from the medicine refining he had imagined. No wonder this kid said he had to come here to do it.
Lin Yang ignored his expression and said casually, "Make yourself comfortable. I need some time to prepare."
"Mhm, go ahead!"
Dugu Bo responded and began to look around the laboratory.
After taking a turn, he stopped in front of a wooden shelf filled with various jars and bottles. He picked up a test tube containing a light green liquid and shook it slightly.
"What is this?"
Lin Yang glanced at it, then lowered his head again, continuing to pick through a pile of medicinal ingredients.
"An antidote. It can neutralize the toxins of most Soul Beasts."
Dugu Bo said nothing, put the test tube back, and continued wandering, finally stopping in front of a wall.
The wall was covered with various diagrams: human blood vessels, skeletons, meridians, and some that looked like cross-sections of the internal structures of certain animals.
Dugu Bo stared intently at these diagrams, his expression gradually shifting from casual to serious.
This kid's research into the human body was actually this deep?
Even he was far inferior in this regard.
Thinking about it carefully, it was terrifying!
It was as if he had personally dissected a person from the inside out, layer by layer, more than once.
Otherwise, these drawings could never be so detailed and accurate.
The distribution of blood vessels, the texture of muscles, even the internal organs and skeletal distribution were frighteningly precise.
Dugu Bo naturally didn't find anything wrong with it; instead, it increased his confidence in Lin Yang. At least this kid really had skill.
Next, he moved to Lin Yang's experimental bench.
He watched him process the herbs one by one—grinding what needed grinding, extracting what needed extracting—then distilling, purifying, and mixing...
The entire process was as smooth as flowing water, without the slightest hesitation.
"Kid," Dugu Bo suddenly spoke, "Who did you learn all these skills from?"
Lin Yang's hands didn't stop, his tone flat: "I figured it out myself."
"Figured it out yourself?"
Dugu Bo sneered, "Do you take me for a three-year-old?"
"If Your Excellency doesn't believe me, there's nothing I can do."
Dugu Bo was choked up, momentarily not knowing what to say, and felt even more frustrated.
Trying to get a straight answer out of this kid's mouth was harder than climbing to the heavens.
Soon, half an hour passed quietly.
Lin Yang stopped his movements. Now, he held a test tube filled with a pale yellow liquid that emitted a faint medicinal fragrance.
"It's ready!"
Dugu Bo hurriedly stepped forward, his eyes fixed on the potion. His throat moved, and his voice was a bit dry.
"How do I use it?"
"Drink it directly."
Lin Yang handed the test tube to Dugu Bo.
"Your Excellency's cultivation is powerful, so the effect of this potion made from ordinary herbs might be slightly lacking, but it's enough to verify if it works."
Dugu Bo nodded slightly: "If it really works, I certainly won't go back on my previous promise."
After saying that, Dugu Bo took the test tube, tilted his head back, and downed it.
Then, following the method Lin Yang described, he circulated his Soul Power to guide the toxins in his body bit by bit into his Soul Bone.
A moment later, Dugu Bo opened his eyes, a flash of wild joy in them.
It worked!
Although only a tiny bit was expelled, he could indeed feel that the toxins that had plagued him for most of his life were successfully guided into the Soul Bone and completely suppressed.
If it were Yan Yan, it would only take five or six times to completely resolve the toxins in her body.
Yan Yan is saved!
Dugu Bo was overjoyed. The weight that had been on his heart for over a decade finally cracked open a seam at this moment.
"How does Your Excellency feel?"
Actually, Lin Yang's question was redundant; he could draw a conclusion just from Dugu Bo's expression.
"Not bad," Dugu Bo nodded, his voice suppressed with a hint of excitement, "This potion... it works!"
Lin Yang nodded slightly: "If possible, Your Excellency can bring Senior Sister Dugu over. After I check her condition, I can determine the potion's proportions."
"No," Dugu Bo flatly refused, "I want Yan Yan to use the first method!"
Lin Yang showed a "difficult" expression: "Your Excellency, that requires a Heaven And Earth Treasure suitable for her Martial Soul. This..."
"I have them!"
Dugu Bo spoke decisively, staring at Lin Yang with burning eyes.
"However, I need you to help me identify which Heaven And Earth Treasures are suitable for Yan Yan."
Undoubtedly, Lin Yang's performance had completely won over Dugu Bo, and he was finally willing to reveal his secret.
"Good!"
Lin Yang nodded without hesitation.
Without a doubt, what Dugu Bo was talking about was the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, which was also Lin Yang's goal.
Although the whole process differed from what he had expected, he had finally gained access to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
