Revisiting the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire

Chapter 55 Revisiting the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire

Traveling on horseback is indeed much faster than by carriage. In just two days, Shen Hanyu arrived outside Tiandou City.

When he left, he entrusted the courtyard he had there to those two maids to manage, which was essentially like giving it to them.

After all, he had no intention of settling in Tiandou City for too long, and according to the Shen family's assets, they might not be as wealthy as those of great noble families or top sects, but such a courtyard was not enough to make the Shen family feel the pinch.

The profits in the medicinal herb business are so high that ordinary people can't even imagine them.

However, the high profits also bring considerable harm. Not only will they face exclusion and suppression from their peers, but they also have to be wary of those who are envious and resort to desperate measures.

Fortunately, Four Seasons City has a superior geographical location, and there are no major sects or families around. The Four Elements Academy in Element City is reasonable and doesn't interfere much in these matters. Ordinary bandits wouldn't dare to target the Shen family. All of the Shen family's businesses and assets are at least in a safe range.

Looking at this top-tier metropolis on the continent and its towering, sturdy city walls, Shen Hanyu recalled his first visit to the city a few years ago.

Looking back now, I still have to say how fast time really flies.

However, Shen Hanyu did not choose to enter the big city immediately, but instead went directly along the city wall to detour into the Sunset Forest.

Nearly two years have passed, and this place remains as peaceful as ever. Many low-level soul beasts roam freely in the forest. The low vegetation and tall ancient trees add a lot of mystery to this forest, and the deep roars of beasts that come from the depths from time to time all symbolize the vitality of this place.

Shen Hanyu jumped off his horse and slapped the unicorn on the rump. He watched the unicorn leap into the forest in a panic before smiling with satisfaction.

Now that we're here, this century-old unicorn is no longer of any use. There's no reason for Shen Hanyu to keep it. Letting it return to the forest is probably just because Shen Hanyu doesn't want to eat horse meat anymore...

Of course, Shen Hanyu was not responsible for its future fate, whether it lived or died.

…………

Slowly entering the Sunset Forest, following the same route as before, Shen Hanyu soon arrived at the lush green poisonous fog once again.

Shen Hanyu glanced at the poisonous fog with a hint of helplessness and then passed right through it.

He had previously consumed the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass and the Fiery Apricot Blossom, which forged a body immune to all poisons. Moreover, he also had the Ultimate Ice Protector on his body, so the poisonous mist had very little effect on him.

Passing through the poisonous fog, Shen Hanyu immediately spotted the old man in green robes standing on a boulder with his hands behind his back.

His pretentious attitude remains unchanged.

Shen Hanyu inwardly complained, but on the surface, he showed a slight smile and said:

"Long time no see, Old Biden."

Dugu Bo seemed not to hear, snorted coldly, and instantly appeared in front of Shen Hanyu, striking Shen Hanyu's chest with a palm.

Shen Hanyu narrowed his eyes, did not summon his martial soul, and instead used his soul power to deliver a punch to meet the attack.

boom--

With a deafening roar, a massive and chaotic airflow dispersed in all directions, causing the green leaves on the surrounding tree trunks to fall one after another. A green poisonous mist and a white, extremely cold mist slowly spread around, eventually disappearing completely.

Shen Hanyu coughed twice, clutching his chest. He had been forced back seven steps by the earlier collision, while Dugu Bo had only stiffened for a moment.

The gap between them is still quite large.

Shen Hanyu sighed, but he was not discouraged. Once he obtained his seventh spirit ring and possessed the true spirit of martial arts, the gap would be narrowed again, and he would no longer be in such a sorry state. He would then have the power to fight back.

On the other hand, Dugu Bo appeared calm on the surface, but his heart was in turmoil. After shattering the ice in his hand with his soul power, he could still feel an extreme cold surging through his flesh and blood. The ice-attribute energy made him tremble with fear.

Despite thinking this, Dugu Bo maintained his composure, coldly looking at Shen Hanyu and saying expressionlessly:

"Is this all the improvement you've made in the last two years? It doesn't seem like much."

Shen Hanyu's lips curled into a smile. He had improved by nearly twenty levels in two years. If he had to say, there was no one in the world who was faster than him.

"Likewise, two years have passed. What, Senior Poison Douluo, now that you've broken through to level one of your soul power, do you no longer want to continue our previous agreement?"

Shen Hanyu deliberately said that he could feel that the other party's aura had obviously improved and stabilized a lot, and that the aura was still somewhat unstable, which showed that the breakthrough had not been long ago.

Dugu Bo glanced at Shen Hanyu and found it inexplicably amusing. If he didn't want to acknowledge him, Shen Hanyu wouldn't be standing here unharmed right now.

"You brat, if I really wanted to take action against you, even though you are strong, you still wouldn't be able to escape unscathed from an attack by a Title Douluo."

Dugu Bo said irritably, while silently sighing and stepping aside to clear the way.

Shen Hanyu stepped forward, looked at Dugu Bo's hair, which was now half green and half black, raised an eyebrow, and said:

"How's your poison? You seem to be feeling much better. Have you found a way to suppress it?"

Dugu Bo's gaze was deep and unfathomable. After a long while, he took out the fragrant Qiluo Immortal Herb. Looking at the many missing petals on top, he said with some emotion:

"I originally just tried it out, but later I discovered that although this thing can only suppress toxins and not detoxify them, it can be put together with some herbs to make medicine. Moreover, the pills made from this thing have a strong effect of suppressing toxins. I have made quite a few of these pills, and you have seen the effect."

Shen Hanyu nodded. He was not an expert in poisons and medicine, only knowing a little bit about them. But Dugu Bo was different. He was the most knowledgeable person in the world at that time, apart from Tang San, the reincarnated person. It was not surprising that he could study the other effects of immortal herbs.

"Alright, I came back this time to help you condense the poison pill, but we'll have to wait a while. I have some things to do, so it will take some time."

Shen Hanyu said softly.

The Cold Sky Spear already had the rudimentary form of a domain. Originally, the domain should have been fully formed after becoming a Soul King, but for some reason, it could not be further developed. Later, he came to terms with it and estimated that the domain would not truly awaken until he became a Soul Saint.

Dugu Bo nodded, looked Shen Hanyu over, and asked with some surprise:

"You've broken through to the Soul Emperor realm? Why can't I see through your cultivation level? How strange..."

Shen Hanyu hummed in agreement and said calmly:

"I haven't broken through to Soul Emperor yet, I've only broken through to Soul Saint. I haven't had time to break through to the seventh soul ring yet, but it'll be soon."

Dugu Bo was taken aback, then his body stiffened, and his gaze towards Shen Hanyu became somewhat strange, but he still quickly followed Shen Hanyu's steps, walking together into the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well...

P.S.: Happy birthday to all my friends who are celebrating their birthdays today!

Happy Lunar New Year!

The closer it gets to Chinese New Year, the busier and more tired I get. Ugh, I don't want to update anymore. I want to just give up, play games, and fall in love...
