Chapter 77 The Yin Yang Ice And Fire Eyes
The core of Sunset Forest lies in an inverted cone-shaped mountain valley.
Before the first rays of dawn pierced the clouds, two figures descended from the sky, passing through layers of poisonous arrays, and landed in this secluded paradise.
On one side was a fiery crimson, as hot as magma, and on the other side was a milky white, as cold as ice.
Various exotic flowers and plants bloom in profusion, creating a breathtaking scene.
"Arrived."
Dugu Bo stood with his hands behind his back, pointing at the colorful yet treacherous medicinal garden before him, his tone barely concealing a hint of smugness and warning:
"This is my herb garden."
"Kid, don't be fooled by the appearance of these flowers and plants. This place may seem like a fairyland, but it is actually full of dangers. Most of these herbs are highly poisonous, and some I don't even know the names of. If you are not careful, even a titled Douluo will die here."
"If you want to cultivate, find a corner to stay in and don't touch anything."
Dugu Bo was genuinely afraid that this person, or rather, this soul beast, who could save his granddaughter, would kill himself.
Ye Liuyun didn't speak, but quietly surveyed his surroundings.
In Dugu Bo's eyes, this was an unknown poisonous array full of danger.
But in Ye Liuyun's perception, the air was filled with a rich vitality.
As a plant-type soul beast that lived for 800,000 years, although he didn't actually live that long, his knowledge far surpassed that of ordinary people.
The knowledge of immortal herbs that many aristocratic families have collected over a dozen generations.
For him, a plant-type soul beast who has lived deep in the Star Dou Forest for many years.
He's seen far too many exotic flowers and rare plants.
Although it is not a miraculous herb, it has many similarities to other herbs.
In addition, he can also clearly perceive the characteristics of each herb through the plant pheromones floating in the air.
The Fiery Apricot is delicate and sparse... its fiery poison is intense. The Eight Cornered Ice Grass... its cold poison is piercing to the bone.
Unlike Tang San, he didn't need to consult ancient books to identify things; this innate intuition allowed him to thrive here.
Ye Liuyun ignored Dugu Bo's warning and simply walked to the spring, found a clean rock, and sat down cross-legged.
"Don't worry, the environment here is perfect for me, I'll be fine."
After saying this, he closed his eyes, as if he was about to enter a meditative state.
Seeing Ye Liuyun so calm, even seemingly oblivious to what was happening around him, Dugu Bo became restless.
The original plan was to take Ye Liuyun away from the place where Tang Hao might be lying in ambush.
The situation was urgent, and in order to avoid burdening anyone and for Dugu Yan's safety, he didn't dare bring his granddaughter out at all.
But now, they have arrived at this hidden and safe place, the Yin Yang Ice And Fire Eyes.
Dugu Bo looked at Ye Liuyun, who had already begun to breathe deeply, and felt a pang of unease.
That was their lifeline! It was right before their eyes!
"Cough cough."
Dugu Bo couldn't help but break the silence and took the initiative to speak:
"Kid, you can stay here and focus on your cultivation."
"This place is protected by my poison array. No one but me can enter. It's absolutely safe."
After a pause, a hint of urgency flashed in Dugu Bo's eyes:
"Now that we are safe, I must go back."
"Yanyan is still at the academy, and I need to bring her here. She's already showing signs of poisoning, and she's in excruciating pain when the poison takes effect. Since you're here, let's get this done together."
Upon hearing this, Ye Liuyun slowly opened his eyes, his expression remaining calm, as if none of this concerned him. He simply nodded.
"Go."
"Be careful. If Tang Hao finds out I'm missing, he might suspect you and secretly follow you."
Dugu Bo didn't care at all.
He might not be able to beat Tang Hao, but he wouldn't be so bad as to not even notice him following him.
It should be noted that the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor Martial Soul gave him a very keen animal instinct.
"Wait!"
Leaving behind a message, Dugu Bo flashed into the sky as a streak of green light, rushing off to pick up his granddaughter.
The valley returned to silence.
After confirming that Dugu Bo had left, Ye Liuyun neither got up to pick the immortal herbs nor showed any expression of ecstasy.
He simply closed his eyes again, activated his talent, and silently absorbed the life force around him.
There was no earth-shattering plundering, nor any domineering devouring.
He simply adjusted his aura to match the frequency of this world.
It was as if he were a blade of grass, absorbing the nutrients from the Yin Yang Ice And Fire Eyes.
Gradually, a magical scene unfolded.
Wisps of colorful light, visible to the naked eye, emanated from the immortal herbs in all directions, naturally converging towards Ye Liuyun along with the air.
A light mist rose from the spring water of the Yin Yang Ice And Fire Eyes, gently enveloping him.
At this moment, he didn't seem like an outsider cultivator, but rather like an elf nurtured by this medicinal garden itself.
Everything was so natural, so taken for granted.
Nourished by this pure energy, Ye Liuyun's soul power also rose silently.
Level 37... Level 38...
There are no bottlenecks to hinder progress, no painful screams.
As night falls and dawn breaks, so too does the season change.
Ye Liuyun's aura trembled slightly.
Level 40.
Things will fall into place naturally.
...
The next morning, the sun was shining brightly.
Weary from their journey, Dugu Bo, accompanied by a reluctant Dugu Yan, finally returned to the Yin Yang Ice And Fire Eyes.
"Grandpa! Who are you taking me to see? This is exhausting so early in the morning!"
Dugu Yan was still complaining when her grandfather swept her away and flew over while she was sleeping soundly.
"Stop talking nonsense, you'll know when you get there. That's the person who can save your life."
Dugu Bo led her through the poison array and landed.
As soon as she stood still, Dugu Yan's voice came to an abrupt halt.
On the shore where ice and fire met, in the dim light of dawn, a young man sat cross-legged. As if sensing their arrival, he slowly rose.
What a figure it was!
After a night of tempering his body with ice and fire and being bathed in the aura of immortal herbs, Ye Liuyun's figure became even more slender and upright.
His short hair had grown a bit longer, hanging down to his ears, with a mysterious touch of dark blue at the ends.
His skin was crystal clear, like the finest white jade, gleaming faintly in the sunlight.
Ye Liuyun turned around and looked at the two of them.
Dugu Yan was completely stunned.
She had originally imagined the doctor her grandfather had described to be an old man with a white beard.
But this guy in front of me... is so handsome.
"They're here."
Ye Liuyun glanced at the two of them indifferently, showing no reaction to Dugu Yan's gaze, and simply said:
"Now that everyone's here, let's begin."
Ye Liuyun's first soul ring lit up, and with a wave of his hand, Blue Silver Grass began to grow from the ground, slowly reaching towards Dugu Yan.
"It's you?"
Dugu Yan's previously somewhat dazed gaze instantly sharpened, then transformed into deep shock and disbelief.
She would recognize this unique Blue Silver Grass, with its golden hue, even if it turned to ash!
Back in the Soto City Grand Arena, it was this person, as the core of the Shrek Academy team's control system, who shattered the pride of their Royal Fighting Team with an almost overwhelming force.
That crushing defeat remains a lingering shadow in Dugu Yan's heart.
The undefeated Heaven Dou Royal Team was actually defeated by a Soul Master who swept through seven opponents in one battle.
It's to the point that if she told anyone, no one would believe her.
"Grandpa! Why did you bring him here?"
