The Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, the World's Most Luxurious Hangover Relief Soup
Chapter 7 The Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, the World's Most Luxurious Hangover Relief Soup
Ye Yan mingled with the common people and queued to leave the city. As soon as he left the city, he saw a road sign not far away.
Heading south leads to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's headquarters, heading north leads to the Northern Lands, and to the west are a cluster of villages.
The only thing to the east is a skull mark with the words "Sunset Forest" written on it. Isn't that just a forest?
Ye Yan took a swig of wine, still undecided on which direction to go, when a kind old man passing by said, "I advise you not to go to Sunset Forest! It's extremely dangerous there. Many people have died there, including many Soul Masters!"
"Is this Sunset Forest that powerful? Are there 100,000-year-old soul beasts inside?"
"I've never heard of a 100,000-year-old soul beast, but my neighbor's cousin's nephew's girlfriend's father said that there are quite a few 10,000-year-old soul beasts in there. He is a Soul King Soul Master, but he doesn't dare to easily set foot in that forest!"
And let me tell you, that forest is constantly shrouded in a poisonous fog, and it's toxic! You absolutely mustn't go there. Come with me to the west, I'll make you a hangover soup."
This uncle meant well, afraid that Ye Yan, this drunk guy, might accidentally wander into that restricted area.
But when he looked over again, the person was gone, only the lingering smell of alcohol remained.
Ye Yan was heading east towards the Sunset Forest. He was slightly tipsy and vaguely remembered that there was something in this forest worth visiting.
When Ye Yan arrived at the outer edge of Sunset Forest, he heard the low growls of the soul beasts, but these were just ordinary hundred-year-old soul beasts.
Ignoring these low-level soul beasts, Ye Yan ventured deeper into the Sunset Forest. The further he went, the more powerful the surrounding soul beasts became, and gradually, ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts began to appear, but Ye Yan was not interested in any of them.
A short while later, all the surrounding soul beasts scattered and fled. This was not Ye Yan's doing.
Instead, it seemed like these soul beasts were hiding from something.
Ye Yan sniffed and discovered the reason.
It turned out to be poisonous fog. The poisonous fog that had accumulated deep in the Sunset Forest over the years was still at a terrifying level, and even ordinary ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts could not get close.
The poisonous fog must have scared all those soul beasts away.
"What a pity, I just saw a few deer, they would have been great for making liquor."
This level of alcohol wouldn't cause Ye Yan any harm, or rather, these poisons were completely ineffective against him.
When Ye Yan was fifteen, he stayed at a medicine sect for a while, all for the sect's unique medicinal wine, which not only had a unique taste but could also cure all poisons!
During that time, Ye Yan also drank up the sect's brewing capacity for ten years. Although he was kicked out, he successfully advanced to the Soul Saint level!
Looking back now, it was a pretty good experience.
Although the wine was absorbed by the system and turned into soul power, the medicinal power remained in Ye Yan's body, allowing him to resist all poisons!
Therefore, to Ye Yan, this toxic fog was no different from ordinary polluted air.
"There seems to be something over there?"
Ye Yan smelled a scent different from the polluted air—a faint, refreshing fragrance! Just smelling it from this distance made him feel a little more sober!
Continuing to search for the scent, Ye Yan passed directly through the thick poisonous fog, and was then replaced by a strong fragrance of flowers, herbs, and medicinal plants!
"Where is this place? There are so many things here!"
During his time at the sect that brewed medicinal wine, Ye Yan learned about many medicinal herbs, but he mainly used them for making wine and hangover soup.
He didn't recognize any of the plants growing here, but this fragrant flower would be great for making a hangover soup, wouldn't it?
Then Ye Yan saw a spring not far away. The red and blue water inside attracted him. Just by getting close, he could feel the sensation of ice melting and ice thawing!
"I remember where I am now, isn't this the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire? So, these plants must be those celestial herbs?"
Ye Yan glanced around casually, then shrugged.
They picked all the herbs suitable for making the hangover soup and used the fire spring in the Yin-Yang Well to help heat and cook the soup.
If other people knew that he used these divine ingredients to make a hangover soup, they would probably be green with envy.
After it was cooked, Ye Yan held it up and took a bite. The taste was indeed good. It not only had the fragrance of the big flower, but also a strong medicinal power to help him sober up.
As a hangover remedy, it's absolutely amazing!
Ye Yan finished his drink with satisfaction, feeling that the headache from being drunk had completely disappeared, replaced by a very harmonious and refreshing sensation.
Just then, another person walked in from outside the poisonous fog. He looked extremely pained and went straight towards the direction of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.
However, upon seeing Ye Yan, an outsider, Dugu Bo immediately assumed a defensive stance.
"Who are you! How did you get in here!"
The outer perimeter of this medicinal garden is shrouded in a poisonous fog that has accumulated over thousands of years. If I hadn't cultivated poison skills my whole life, I wouldn't have been able to get in. But who is this person?
Suddenly, Dugu Bo noticed that the other person seemed to be brewing something, which looked like herbs from the herb garden!
Dugu Bo immediately flew into a rage and shouted, "How dare you steal my herbs!"
"These herbs aren't labeled, how can you just say they're yours? Besides, these herbs are clearly thousands of years old, how old are you? How could they possibly be yours!"
After the headache subsided, Ye Yan's mind became exceptionally clear, and he recalled many memories from his previous life.
This is the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye in Sunset Forest. The person in front of you should be Dugu Bo, the retainer of the Heaven Dou Royal Family and the titled Poison Douluo!
Dugu Bo's face looked terrible, and he kept clutching his heart in pain.
He had no intention of arguing with Ye Yan right now, and shouted, "I'll let it go this time, but get out of my territory! This isn't a place for you!"
His poison attack has backfired, and he must be treated immediately using the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye, otherwise unpredictable consequences will occur!
He is extremely vulnerable during the treatment process, and absolutely no outsiders should be present!
Therefore, even if Dugu Bo knew that Shu Da had taken a lot of his medicinal herbs, he couldn't retaliate. He could send him away first and settle the score with him later!
Ye Yan simply lay back, crossing his legs leisurely.
"Why would I leave? The environment here is quite nice, and I plan to stay for a while longer."
"Didn't you hear me? This is my territory! Get out of here!"
"Like I said, this place doesn't have a name on it. Just because you say it's yours doesn't mean it is! I could say it's mine!"
This is the same move Ye Yan used when he lingered at the medicinal wine sect, mainly employing a rogue-like approach.
However, this only works if your strength is equal to or even greater than your opponent's.
