Chapter 48: Entering the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well

Ning Feiliu's words, once spoken, stirred surprise in Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan.

Dugu Yan, however, was full of excitement; after all, this was the place where her grandfather practiced and developed his toxins daily.

Dugu Bo, meanwhile, frowned slightly and said, "That ancient text you mentioned, where exactly is it? May I take a look at it?"

Yet Ning Feiliu replied with a bitter smile, "It is in the sect's Library. As you know, Senior, unless one is a sect Elder, ordinary disciples may only enter the Library to borrow texts and cannot take books out."

"The sect also strictly prohibits the copying of any texts."

Although Douluo Continent generally lacks cultivation techniques, that is only in comparison to other worlds; the major powers on Douluo Continent that have reached the top tier all possess their own foundations for establishing a sect.

For instance, the Upper Three Sects are like this; the Clear Sky Sect has peerless arts such as the Great Sumeru Hammer and the Clear Sky Nine Absolutes.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect also has a skill called Distraction Control.

This Distraction Control is divided into five realms: Three Apertures Imperial Heart, Four Apertures Constant Heart, Five Apertures Scattered Heart, Six Apertures As-You-Will Heart, and Seven Apertures Exquisite Heart; each realm represents the number of soul skills one can control simultaneously and the number of times they can be released at once.

"That is not for you to worry about," Dugu Bo said indifferently. "However, it just so happens that I know of a place that is very much like the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well you described..."

The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect also has its own unique, overbearing secret technique—the True Dragon Nine Crowns. (The manga setting is used here.)

"Is that so?" Ning Feiliu said with a light chuckle. "Then that is truly something to celebrate."

One would fear being devoured by Soul Beasts just by entering the outer perimeter of the Sunset Forest.

But looking back and thinking carefully...

This kid... still has Dugu Yan in his heart.

Let alone going to Dugu Bo's lair, the core area of the Sunset Forest, to see the situation of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well at a glance.

"Since you are so confident, and you are the only one who has seen that ancient text, you shall come with me for a trip to verify it," Dugu Bo said at this moment.

Dugu Bo's brow slowly relaxed; it seemed this was indeed just a coincidence.

It was just that he happened to speak of this treasure land called the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, which was actually nine-tenths similar to Dugu Bo's lair.

However, he watched Ning Feiliu's subsequent reactions with deep meaning.

After all, the Sword and Bone trio of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect were not people he could afford to provoke.

And what was Ning Feiliu's motive for doing this?

The key was that Ning Feiliu happened to say it was recorded in an ancient text, and this ancient text happened to be in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's Library and could not be taken out...

So, it is true that one cannot freely take books in and out of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's Library.

"However, Senior is knowledgeable and has extensive connections; you could go and inquire where such a secret realm might be on the Douluo Dalu," Ning Feiliu continued. "Sister Yan does not need this method; perhaps she could force the toxins into a soul bone herself... By the way, what is needed now is to obtain a soul bone that is compatible with Sister Yan."

It was a bit too coincidental.

Ning Feiliu is currently nothing more than a Spirit Master, and an Auxiliary System Soul Master at that.

Dugu Bo, an old poisonous snake who has spent years poisoning others, is naturally very suspicious and always feels that Ning Feiliu is doing this on purpose.

Dugu Bo also knew this, and since it involved the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, he had no choice but to let it go.

Facing this explanation of his, Dugu Bo felt slightly more satisfied.

"Take a trip?" Ning Feiliu was stunned for a moment, appearing somewhat at a loss. "Where are we going?"

He knew very well that Dugu Bo was testing whether he knew that the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was Dugu Bo's home.

If Ning Feiliu had nodded and agreed without the slightest hesitation, then he would certainly have had a premeditated plan.

Unfortunately, Ning Feiliu was also very cautious and did not fall for it at all, thus passing this test.

"Naturally, to that Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well you mentioned," Dugu Bo said with a cold snort.

"Grandfather..." Dugu Yan, seeing that Dugu Bo's tone seemed poor, immediately said in a coquettish manner.

"Alright, alright, alright..." Dugu Bo's attitude immediately improved quite a bit. He said to Ning Feiliu, "You kid, rest assured; I happen to know of a place that is just like the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well you described, and it just so happens to be the place where I usually practice."

"So, you coming with me for a trip won't take long."

Ning Feiliu pondered for a moment and said, "So that's how it is. No wonder the toxins in your body, Senior, could be suppressed for such a long time; I imagine this treasure land deserves much of the credit."

"Then you and Yan come with me," Dugu Bo glanced at him and said.

"Very well," Ning Feiliu said. "But please allow this junior to first grab some things and tell a friend about some matters."

"Fine, no problem," Dugu Bo waved his hand, not caring.

Then, Ning Feiliu first returned to the laboratory, grabbed a parcel, and seemed to pack some things onto his back before walking out.

Next, he let Ye Lingling go back first, then followed Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan as they headed into the Sunset Forest.

In the Sunset Forest.

Even if it is not as dangerous or filled with as many Soul Beasts as the Star Dou Great Forest, it is still fraught with crises here.

Upon entering the Sunset Forest, one could feel that there was no shortage of powerful Soul Beast auras, but under Dugu Bo's aura, they were as well-behaved as cute pets, not daring to make a sound.

From another perspective, they could indeed be considered pets that Dugu Bo kept near his doorstep.

They usually watched the house for him when he was not at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

Dugu Bo brought Dugu Yan and Ning Feiliu directly to a huge, emerald-green barrier of toxic gas.

Dugu Bo flicked his hand, and the toxic gas barrier vanished.

Then he walked in quickly, and Dugu Yan followed closely behind, not feeling the least bit unfamiliar.

Seeing this, Ning Feiliu followed them inside.

He knew that ahead was the destination where he would complete his mission.

After spending more than half a year, he was finally about to achieve his goal.

After walking in, Ning Feiliu immediately cast his gaze toward the scene within the valley before him.

Before them was actually an inverted cone-shaped mountain hollow, and at the edge of this hollow, thick heat rose up; the heat was very humid and carried a hint of the unique smell of sulfur.

The most peculiar thing was that there was a hot spring in this hollow.

The area of the hot spring was not large, but it was divided into two parts; the colors of the hot spring water in the oval-shaped pool were actually milky white and vermilion, respectively. Even more strangely, although they were within the same pool, they were clearly demarcated, never encroaching upon each other, and always remained on their own side.

The billowing water vapor rising up was precisely what was produced from the position between the two hot springs, constantly ascending until it slowly dissipated at the mouth of the mountain pass.

This is... the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well!

"Kid, is this place the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well you spoke of?" At this moment, Dugu Bo's voice came over, asking.

A trace of a smile appeared on Ning Feiliu's handsome face, and he said, "From what I can see, this place is exactly the... Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well that this junior saw in ancient texts!"

"Senior, please look, the medicinal herbs within these two extremely hot and extremely cold spring eyes are precisely the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the Blazing Apricot Delicate!" He said with a smile, "This is the solution to the problem of the poison backlash you suffer from, Senior!"
