After a moment of silence, Dugu Bo's brows furrowed, and he said coldly:
"Yanyan, you and Lingling shouldn't go with them."
"That place is extremely dangerous; it's not a place you should go to at all."
When he said this, Dugu Bo's tone was unquestionable.
Upon hearing this, the two women pouted and reluctantly let go of Yu Tianqing's hand.
"Everyone's here, let's go!"
Dugu Bo gave a brief order, and the group swiftly headed outside.
Seeing this, Liu Erlong immediately grabbed Yu Tianqing by the waist and picked him up in his arms.
"Tianqing, you're too slow. Auntie will take you."
Before Yu Tianqing could respond, Liu Erlong had already flown away.
Yu Tianqing felt a fragrant breeze on his face, and was held in Liu Erlong's arms.
A faint aura of fire emanated from Liu Erlong, mixed with her unique feminine fragrance, which made his heart race slightly.
What made Yu Tianqing even more embarrassed was that his face was almost buried in Liu Erlong's high and full breasts.
"Hold on tight, I won't be responsible if you fall."
Liu Erlong chuckled softly in Yu Tianqing's ear, his warm breath making Yu Tianqing tense up.
On the other side, after giving Ye Lingling a few instructions, Ye Xian'er also caught up with Yu Tianqing and the others.
...
Next, led by Dugu Bo, Yu Tianqing and his group crossed the Tiandou Plain.
By the time we reached the edge of Sunset Forest, the sun had already set.
The four took a short rest.
Ye Xian'er took out some medicine and distributed it to Yu Tianqing and Liu Erlong:
"Taking it can ward off miasma."
As for Dugu Bo, he naturally doesn't need one, since he is already a Title Douluo, and even more so, a Title Douluo with the title "Poison".
Ordinary miasma cannot harm him at all.
"You guys follow me in a bit."
"The place I'm taking you to is no ordinary place."
Dugu Bo said coldly.
If it were just him and Yu Tianqing, it wouldn't be a problem for him to take care of them.
Even with Liu Erlong and Ye Xian'er with him, Dugu Bo felt there was no need for that.
After resting for a while, Yu Tianqing and the other two continued to advance with Dugu Bo.
Upon entering the Sunset Forest, the environment immediately became treacherous.
Towering ancient trees block out the sun, the ground is slippery and muddy, and poisonous insects and wild beasts appear from time to time.
Dugu Bo walked at the front, releasing his Azure Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul, which intimidated the surrounding creatures.
"careful!"
Suddenly, Liu Erlong pulled Yu Tianqing behind him and punched the ground.
"boom!"
A giant, jet-black python suddenly sprang from the fallen leaves, but was fortunately forced back by Liu Erlong's fiery fist.
"Thank you, Auntie."
Upon seeing this, Yu Tianqing felt a lingering fear.
Liu Erlong picked up Yu Tianqing and said with a smile:
"We're all family, no need for thanks."
"I'd rather hold you."
Next, the group continued walking into the Sunset Forest.
Ye Xian'er walked at the back of the group, occasionally collecting some medicinal herbs along the way.
Her movements were extremely elegant and precise, as if she were performing a silent dance. Although she picked mostly inconspicuous herbs, Ye Xian'er carefully stored them in special containers.
As they ventured deeper, Yu Tian and his companions discovered that the surrounding environment was becoming increasingly harsh.
The toxic fog was so thick that visibility was less than three meters.
Dugu Bo led the way, while the enormous shadow of the Azure Serpent King swam through the poisonous mist, clearing a relatively safe path for them.
"hold me!"
Liu Erlong gave Yu Tianqing some instructions.
Yu Tianqing lay on Liu Erlong's back, and could clearly feel the lines of her back muscles and her body temperature.
Her hair brushed against Yu Tianqing's cheek, carrying a faint fragrance.
Fortunately, the four of them made it through the toxic fog area without any major incidents.
At this moment, the terrain ahead begins to rise.
The fluctuations in soul energy in the air became more noticeable; one could even feel the flow of energy with each breath.
The four climbed to the last ridge.
Upon seeing the scene before them, Yu Tianqing and the others couldn't help but hold their breath.
Upon closer inspection, the two springs intertwined like yin and yang fish, one red and one blue, one hot and one cold.
At the boundary, scorching magma and frigid ice springs form a wondrous balance, with iridescent light shimmering in the rising mist.
Around the spring, all sorts of exotic flowers and rare herbs vie for attention.
Some are as if they are burning with flames, some are as crystal clear as ice sculptures, and some even emit a strange fluorescence.
"This... is the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire?"
Yu Tianqing said quietly, stunned by the scene before him.
Soon, Ye Xian'er came to her senses, strode forward, and stopped about a hundred meters from the spring:
"That's incredible!"
"Those are... the legendary Eight-Cornered Ice Grass, the Fiery Apricot Blossom, and the Myriad Heavenly Chrysanthemum?"
"These magical herbs actually exist?"
Ye Xian'er's voice trembled with excitement, and her white hair fluttered in the fluctuations of soul power, making her look like a fairy descending to earth.
In her excitement, she glanced at Lonely Bo:
"Senior, how do you possess so many immortal herbs...?"
Dugu Bo looked embarrassed and responded:
"You recognize these medicinal herbs, but I don't."
"Who knows if it's some kind of deadly poisonous plant?"
At this moment, Yu Tianqing stepped forward and said:
"Senior Dugu, the immortal herbs here are enough for you and Yanyan to achieve martial soul evolution."
"Of course, as a condition, we can also use the immortal herbs here."
Dugu Bo naturally agreed, and in his heart he was somewhat looking forward to how far his Azure Serpent Emperor Martial Soul could evolve.
Of course, what pleased him the most was...
If Dugu Yan can truly evolve her martial soul with this and thus get rid of the backlash from the Biling Snake venom, that would be the best thing ever.
"Kid, what should we do?"
After thinking for a moment, Dugu Bo came to his senses and asked impatiently.
Yu Tianqing smiled slightly and said:
"Senior, there's no need to rush."
"I can also make these medicinal herbs even more effective."
As he spoke, he took out the Azure Spirit Bottle from his soul tool.
Upon seeing this, Dugu Bo looked completely bewildered, not knowing what Yu Tianqing was up to.
At this moment, Ye Xian'er, who was standing nearby, explained:
"Senior, the spiritual liquid in Tianqing's bottle can accelerate the ripening of medicinal herbs."
"This will allow these medicinal herbs to play a greater role."
"What?"
"Force-ripening?"
Dugu Bo was stunned, looking completely bewildered.
Before he could even catch his breath, Yu Tianqing had already opened the Azure Spirit Bottle and then placed a drop of emerald green liquid on some herbs.
The next moment, the herbs began to grow at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The leaves became fuller, their colors more vibrant, and they even emitted a faint glow.
Upon seeing this, Dugu Bo was shocked and his eyes widened.
"This kid... he has such tricks up his sleeve?"
Yu Tianqing remained calm and smiled as he said:
"If you accelerate the ripening of the herb, it will take longer, but the effect will be better!"
"We can use the spiritual liquid to accelerate the growth of some of the immortal herbs here, and then use these herbs to maximize resource utilization!"
The Azure Dragon's evolution requires countless resources, and this Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, along with the Azure Spirit Bottle, is enough to lay the foundation for its future evolution!
Hearing what Yu Tianqing said, Dugu Bo had no objection:
"In that case, let's wait and see! Let's maximize the effects of these herbs."
