Chapter 38 The Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire
After thinking for a moment, the two began to search in the direction of the poisonous barrier.
After searching for a while, they did find an area where the poison was becoming more concentrated, but Yang Podi was only level 22 and couldn't resist it at all. Moreover, the poison became more concentrated the deeper they went, which explained why no one had discovered it, and there weren't even any soul beasts nearby.
At this moment, Yang Zhentian took out two antidote pills from his body, took one for himself, and gave one to Yang Podi: "This antidote pill is quite effective. It is a secret medicine of my Po clan and can resist ordinary toxins."
After Yang Podi took the antidote pill from his father, he swallowed it directly. After taking the antidote pill, he felt a sense of relief throughout his body. The toxins around him seemed to have no effect on him, and his whole body seemed to be disconnected from the outside world.
"This antidote seems to be working quite well!"
"Son, of course! This is the best antidote pill passed down through my Broken Clan. Want to go back and I'll teach you how to refine it?"
Before Yang Podi could speak, Yang Zhentian enveloped his son with his soul power and quickly walked into the depths of the poisonous fog.
Deep within the poisonous fog was a hill about 500 meters high in the forest, and at the top of the hill was an inverted cone-shaped valley. Thick heat rose from the valley, and the smell of sulfur wafted from within.
In the middle of the ravine was a sheer cliff, extremely steep, and the poisonous fog was so thick that visibility was extremely low that it would be impossible to find without careful searching. Furthermore, the dense poisonous fog greatly weakened even the senses of Soul Masters, which explains why no one had discovered it for so many years.
"Be careful, son, I'm taking you down now."
After Yang Zhentian finished speaking, he took his son's hand and jumped off the cliff.
Upon reaching the valley floor, the two were greeted by a peculiar hot spring. The spring wasn't large, but it was divided into two oval pools, each containing water that was a striking contrast: one milky white, the other crimson. Even more strangely, although situated within the same pool, they were distinctly separate, never encroaching upon each other and remaining firmly on their own sides. The billowing steam, originating from the area between the two springs, created the toxic mist that enveloped the area.
Throughout the valley, the spring is surrounded by all kinds of plants, each with its own unique shape, making it a veritable paradise for plants.
Many familiar plants came into Yang Podi's view. They were the plants recorded in the "Complete Collection of Immortal Herbs in Douluo Continent" and the "Complete Collection of Poisonous Herbs in Douluo Continent" passed down by the Po clan, including Acacia Heartbreak Red, Extraordinary Sky Chrysanthemum, Fragrant Qiluo Immortal Herb, Vajra Arhat Fruit, Earth Dragon Golden Melon, Crystal Jade Skin and Bone, Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower...
According to Yang Podi's estimate, there are at least twenty or thirty visible immortal herbs, and many more growing underground, making the total number even greater—far more than what Tang San gave to the Shrek Academy members in the original story.
At this moment, Yang Zhentian, the father, was also stunned. He never thought that he would be able to see the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire in his lifetime, and even see so many immortal herbs.
Yang Zhentian gently plucked the fragrant, exquisite fairy plant, then carefully observed and examined it, as if he had encountered an unparalleled beauty. He then began to let out strange, manic laughter.
Seeing this, Yang Podi couldn't help but shake his head, muttering to himself: How come my dad is just like my grandfather in the original novel? A single magical herb almost drove him crazy.
Yang Podi couldn't worry about that for the time being. Taking advantage of his father's inattention, he began to dig for immortal herbs on his own.
When Yang Podi first became a Soul Master, his grandfather Yang Wudi gave him a storage bracelet. Although it could not store living things, the bracelet had a relatively large space of fifty cubic meters. Yang Podi himself had also prepared a lot of jade boxes for this day, totaling over a hundred.
Yang Podi's original plan was to dig up all the immortal-grade herbs and herbs over ten thousand years old from the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well first, and deal with other things later. He couldn't leave them here to benefit others.
Following the methods for digging up medicinal herbs, Yang Podi began to collect them. *Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum*, dug up; *Xiangsi Duanchang Hong*, dug up; *Qiluo Tulip*, dug up; *Jin Gang Luo Han Guo*, dug up; *Dilong Jin Gua*, dug up; *Shuijing Yu Ji Gu*, dug up; *Jiguan Fenghuang Kui*, dug up; *Zhe Yao Da Xue Can*, dug up; *Zhu Sha Lian*, dug up; *Long Zhi Ye*, dug up; *Hun Yuan Xian Cao*, dug up; *Mo Yu Shen Zhu*, dug up; *Xing Luo Ling Zhu*, dug up…
It took a full hour to dig up almost all the spiritual herbs and immortal-grade medicinal plants in the entire Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye. Only a few plants remained unharvested, but of course, as someone familiar with pharmacology, I naturally left the roots behind.
At this moment, Yang Zhentian, the father, also woke up from his intoxication with the fragrant and exquisite delicacies.
When Yang Zhentian looked at the scene in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye, the ground looked like it had been gnawed by a dog, full of pits and bumps. Although there were still many plants on the ground, they were all thousands of years old, and there were no particularly expensive immortal items.
"Son, why did you dig up all these precious medicinal herbs? You should know these things are priceless."
Yang Podi was still digging diligently. After digging, he placed the excavated material directly into the jade box and immediately stored it in his soul tool.
"Dad, if we leave these medicinal herbs here and don't dig them up, what if someone else discovers them and benefits from them?"
"But son, you dug it up way too clean."
"This is already quite good. I didn't dig up any of the thousand-year-old herbs; I'll save them for the family to use in the future. And I even left the roots behind, as a way to leave a legacy for the family."
Hearing this, Yang Zhentian was speechless. His son actually dug up all the immortal items and left some of the lower value ones for the family to use. Isn’t this a bit too much of a rip-off?
Only after Yang Podi had dug up all the rare medicinal herbs did he come to his father's side.
Yang Zhentian's expression turned serious: "Son, why are you digging up so many rare medicinal herbs? What's your plan?"
"Dad, you should know the value of these rare medicinal herbs. If any information is leaked, our Po clan will face annihilation."
"What does this have to do with you digging it all up?"
"Dad, we are the only family. As for other people, we should be wary of them. After all, you can't see into someone's heart."
Yang Zhentian seemed a little angry when he heard this: "Son, I won't allow you to talk about our Po clan members like that. They all risked their lives for the clan, and many of them even dedicated their entire lives to the clan."
"I know they've made contributions to the family, but aren't there still many high-grade medicinal herbs here?"
Yang Zhentian glanced at the remaining herbs around him and was speechless. Why was his son acting like a mythical creature?
