Chapter 44: The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well Appears, The Alchemist Ye Family
As an orphan, her teacher Qian Xunji and her junior brother Yun Yuan were her closest kin. If they were threatened, her Death Spider Emperor would certainly brandish its sharp claws.
Seeing that both Yun Yuan and Bibi Dong understood, Qian Xunji nodded and began to dismiss them.
"Xiao Yuan, as for the alchemy knowledge you requested, I will send people to scour the continent and deliver it to you. You just focus on your cultivation."
"Alright, you may both withdraw now. Go back and cultivate well."
Upon hearing this, Yun Yuan and Bibi Dong left the The Pope's Palace and returned to their palace on the mountain behind it.
For a period of time thereafter, Yun Yuan's daily routine consisted of three things: meditative cultivation, comprehending the realm of the Spear Dao, and studying the currently known alchemy knowledge of the Douluo Continent.
As for the search for the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, progress was gradually being made under Qian Xunji's arrangements. Perhaps it wouldn't be long before this treasure land of dual ice and fire was found.
Half a month later.
News regarding the search for the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was sent back to Spirit Hall. The moment Qian Xunji learned of this, he summoned Yun Yuan.
"Xiao Yuan, the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well you mentioned has been found. Now, how about I take you to see that treasure land?"
Upon seeing Yun Yuan, Qian Xunji couldn't wait to share the news with him.
With the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Spirit Hall's foundations would grow even deeper. Moreover, if Yun Yuan could refine Immortal Herbs into pills in the future, he would also have a chance to reach the rank of super Douluo.
After Yun Yuan understood, a trace of excitement appeared in his eyes. It was perfect; he could go see this treasure land of dual ice and fire and gain a deep understanding of the characteristics of Immortal Herbs. This would be of great help for his future pill refining.
"Teacher, let's go."
After a long time, Qian Xunji flew with Yun Yuan all the way from Spirit City to the Sunset Forest, arriving at the entrance of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
The area around the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was crowded with members of Spirit Hall. Without exception, they were all powerhouses at the Soul Saint and Soul Douluo levels. One could imagine how much importance Qian Xunji placed on this treasure land.
Entering from the entrance and heading all the way inside, there was an oval pool at the very center. The spring water was two colors, red and blue, emitting auras of extreme cold and extreme heat.
Feeling the terrifying energy radiating from the spring water, Qian Xunji frowned slightly. He looked at Yun Yuan beside him and cautioned, "Xiao Yuan, you must not get too close to that spring water. It's very dangerous."
"Xiao Yuan, you must not get too close to that spring water. It's very dangerous."
"I understand, Teacher. I know a bit about this place."
As someone who had read the original work, he naturally knew the terror of these ice and fire springs. Without the infernal delicate apricot and Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass to forge an Ice and Fire Golden Body,
even a Titled Douluo would be corroded by the icy cold and scorching heat within the spring water if they fell in.
Next, Yun Yuan swept his gaze across the entire Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. He could see the vast majority of the precious plants recorded in the Records of Ancient Herb right here.
Among them, Immortal Herbs were not few in number. Many Immortal Herbs Yun Yuan had only read about were now visible to his naked eye.
"How is it? Xiao Yuan, roughly how many Immortal Herbs are here?"
After Yun Yuan had circled the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Qian Xunji looked at him expectantly, wanting to know the answer.
According to Yun Yuan's description, if a young Soul Master consumed an Immortal Herb, they would have a chance to break through to the rank of super Douluo in the future.
"Well, from what I can see so far, there are about twenty or so."
"Moreover, besides the Immortal Herbs, there are many other precious flowers and plants. Among them, several are extremely close to the Immortal grade in quality."
Yun Yuan was extremely satisfied with the variety and number of precious herbs in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. To describe it in one phrase: treasures were everywhere.
These precious herbs could all be used as ingredients for Yun Yuan's early-stage pill refining, allowing him to perfect his alchemy methods.
Next, Yun Yuan thought about picking some lower-quality precious herbs to take back, intending to use them to properly test his alchemy methods.
Once he gradually perfected these methods, he could start refining pills with Immortal Herbs. At that time, he would also be able to significantly increase his Soul Power level.
Thinking this, Yun Yuan gave Qian Xunji a heads-up and began picking some lower-quality precious herbs in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to use for alchemy back at Spirit Hall.
After the harvesting was complete, Yun Yuan saw that his purpose for coming had been achieved, and he returned to Spirit City with Qian Xunji.
As for the Immortal Herbs, it was better to leave them in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. When his alchemy methods were perfected, that would be the time to use these Immortal Herbs as ingredients.
One month later, at Yun Yuan's palace.
Inside the palace now stood an alchemy furnace, with various rare herbs placed beside it.
In addition, miscellaneous books were scattered on the palace floor, most of which were related to alchemy.
"Sigh, there's some progress, but it's very slow. If it continues like this, I might not even perfect it after several years."
Yun Yuan held a book, reading it while sighing with emotion.
Over the past month, he had gained some understanding of pill refining and was already able to refine some low-grade pills.
But for Yun Yuan, this was far from enough. His goal was to refine pills with Immortal Herbs; only then would he be considered a true alchemy Master.
"I'll go ask Teacher and see if he can find any great alchemy masters."
After arriving at the The Pope's Palace, Yun Yuan saw a familiar figure—Yue Guan, who had given him the Records of Ancient Herb to read.
Beside Yue Guan was a middle-aged man who radiated a dark aura. With just one glance, Yun Yuan recognized him as Yue Guan's best friend, Gui Mei, the future Ghost Douluo.
Seeing Yun Yuan's arrival, Qian Xunji's gaze held a hint of curiosity.
"Xiao Yuan, have you run into problems with your pill refining?"
Hearing this, Yun Yuan nodded.
"Teacher, do you know if there are any other powers on our continent that excel in alchemy? I want to refer to their methods and learn from them. That way, I might perfect my alchemy methods sooner."
After saying this, Yun Yuan looked at Qian Xunji with expectant eyes.
Seeing this, Qian Xunji scratched his head. Among those skilled in alchemy, did the Breaking Clan count? But even if the Breaking Clan was skilled in alchemy, the relationship between Spirit Hall and the Clear Sky Sect was as incompatible as fire and water.
As an affiliated Sect of the Clear Sky Sect, how could the Breaking Clan possibly pass on their true skills to Yun Yuan, the Holy Son of Spirit Hall? Wouldn't that be aiding the enemy?
While Qian Xunji was thinking hard,
Yue Guan, who was beside Yun Yuan, stood up and offered his suggestion.
"Regarding those skilled in alchemy, Your Highness Holy Son, I, Yue Guan, do have some understanding."
Hearing this, the other three present all turned their gazes toward Yue Guan, wanting to hear his thoughts.
Seeing everyone's eyes on him, Yue Guan coughed twice and then began to explain slowly:
"As far as I know, there is a low-profile, obscure alchemy family on the continent. Their family has had a unique understanding of alchemy for generations."
"This alchemy family is the Nine-Heart Begonia family of Heaven Dou City, the Ye family."
