At this moment, Dugu Bo was visibly excited. He immediately wanted to take Lin Yang to his medicinal garden to find spiritual herbs for Dugu Yan.
Lin Yang naturally didn't want to delay either. He gave Catherine a few simple instructions, saying he would be away for a few days.
"Teacher, what about Butterfly House?"
Catherine looked a little flustered.
"You've been learning by my side for some time now. You can handle some simple injuries and illnesses on your own," Lin Yang said gently as he looked at her. "If you really don't have confidence, just leave them for now. Recommend the patients to other clinics, or wait until I return."
Catherine bit her lip, clearly lacking confidence.
Lin Yang patted her shoulder encouragingly. "Catherine, have some confidence. You've done very well during this time. I believe you can do it."
Catherine raised her head, her eyes slightly red. She opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end she simply nodded firmly. "Teacher, I understand. Don't worry — Butterfly House is in my hands."
"Good!"
Lin Yang replied with a face full of relief.
After leaving Butterfly House, Dugu Bo looked at Lin Yang with a strange expression. "You should be younger than that girl, right?"
Lin Yang glanced at him. "Yes, but the capable one is the teacher. As long as my medical skills are better than hers, that's enough."
Dugu Bo's face darkened. He felt the kid was implying something else.
"Hmph, let's go already. Stop dawdling."
Before his words even finished, he grabbed Lin Yang and soared into the air, turning into a streak of light that vanished into the horizon in the blink of an eye.
A Titled Douluo traveling at full speed was indeed shockingly fast.
Before long, the two had left Heaven Dou City and arrived in a dense forest.
This forest wasn't as primitive and wild as the Star Dou Great Forest, but it was still filled with rolling mountains and lush trees, home to countless spirit beasts.
This was precisely the Sunset Forest!
Dugu Bo sped along, unleashing the full aura of a Titled Douluo without restraint. Wherever they passed, spirit beasts that had awakened their intelligence had already fled with their tails between their legs. Those that couldn't escape in time could only lie on the ground, trembling.
The terror of a Titled Douluo was just that overwhelming!
In this manner, the two charged straight into the central area of the Sunset Forest.
Soon, a tall mountain appeared before Lin Yang's eyes — roughly five hundred meters high by visual estimate.
Dugu Bo moved lightly, spun once, and landed gently on the mountain peak with Lin Yang in tow.
Lin Yang looked down and saw that beneath his feet was an inverted-cone-shaped valley, so deep it seemed bottomless, like the gaping maw of a giant beast.
Thick water vapor rose from the valley, shrouding it completely — a natural barrier.
No one would have imagined that beneath such an unremarkable little mountain lay a hidden treasure land.
The oncoming air carried a faint, pungent sulfurous smell.
Looking at the scenery before him, Lin Yang took a deep breath. The pungent odor actually felt strangely welcoming, making his heart beat faster involuntarily.
On his back, Ah Yin also seemed to sense something and began to stir restlessly.
The greatest opportunity in the entire Douluo Continent was right before his eyes.
The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was an absolutely heaven-defying treasure land. Ordinary plants could not survive here, but the growth speed of rare plants was increased tenfold.
Most importantly, beneath the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well lay the burial ground of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings.
Although he currently had no ability to target those two, it was impossible for him to have zero thoughts about it. Those were two god-king-level spirit bones!
Not to mention anything else, just the energy contained within them would be a grand feast for Lin Yang's Demon God Body martial soul — enough to let it eat its fill and even feel stuffed in one go.
Unfortunately, this mountain of gold was something he could only stare at longingly for now; he couldn't even touch it.
Dugu Bo didn't notice Lin Yang's expression. He gazed downward on his own and said with a touch of emotion, "Kid, this is this old man's medicinal garden. The environment here is unique and extremely effective at suppressing the toxins in my body."
"It's also thanks to this place that I didn't die from the backlash of the deadly poison."
He quickly added, "However, I can't stay here for too long either. Staying too long would actually be harmful."
Lin Yang remained silent and simply listened quietly.
Dugu Bo continued, "If anywhere can provide suitable heavenly materials and earthly treasures for Yanyan, I believe only this place has them."
"Let's go down!"
With that, he moved, grabbed Lin Yang, and leaped down the cliff. After several bounds, they disappeared into the water mist.
Passing through the mist and making several turns, the two finally landed at the very bottom of the valley.
The moment they stabilized, Lin Yang noticed an oval-shaped pool not far away. The pool was divided into red and white sections, like two separate entities yet clearly distinct and non-interfering. The scenery was quite peculiar.
Around the pool grew all kinds of strangely shaped plants — some growing wildly, others looking as if they had been artificially cultivated.
Dugu Bo released Lin Yang, his face carrying a hint of pride. "Kid, take a good look. This is this old man's medicinal garden. All the rare medicinal herbs I've collected over the years are planted here."
"Poisonous herbs, tonic herbs — whatever you want, it's all here! There are even some strange treasures I don't recognize."
He turned his head and stared at Lin Yang with burning eyes. "Among those strange treasures I can't identify, there should be the heavenly materials and earthly treasures you need. But how to identify them and how to use them will depend on your ability."
Hearing this, a flash of intense heat appeared in Lin Yang's eyes. "Senior, I do recognize some of the herbs here. Even if I don't recognize others, I have ways to figure out their properties."
"Good," Dugu Bo's face lit up with joy. "Then I'll leave the rest to you."
Lin Yang began walking slowly around the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. He moved very deliberately, examining every single plant carefully and even leaning in to sniff them.
Combining this with the descriptions of immortal herbs in his memory, Lin Yang quickly identified several of them.
For example: Lovesick Heartbreak Red, Eight-Petaled Immortal Orchid, Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower, Autumn Water Dew, and so on.
Dugu Bo followed behind Lin Yang, watching him identify the plants one by one. The anticipation in his heart grew stronger.
After walking for about half an hour, Lin Yang stopped in front of a vine.
This vine was not as slender and delicate as ordinary vines. It was thick and powerful, with scale-like raised patterns on its surface. From certain angles, it faintly emitted a golden glow.
"Found it," Lin Yang chuckled softly.
Dugu Bo quickly moved closer, frowning as he examined it carefully, but eventually shook his head helplessly. He didn't recognize it!
"What kind of herb is this? Can it solve Yanyan's problem?"
"That's right," Lin Yang nodded. "This is the Earth Dragon Golden Melon, an earth-attribute heavenly material and earthly treasure. It can promote the evolution of snake-type martial souls toward dragon-type. It is the most suitable immortal herb for Senior Sister Dugu."
