Chapter 42: Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire
Chapter 42: Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire
> "After Spirit possession, my eyes can perceive the meridians of the human body," Dai Weis said solemnly, fabricating his explanation with a serious face.
> "And if Senior were capable of detoxifying Miss Dugu Yan on your own, you wouldn't have traveled all the way to the Star Luo Empire and waited in the palace for an entire week just to see me."
> "Oh, Brother Tianxing truly has a good grandson! Not only is he talented, but also incredibly intelligent."
Dugu Bo sighed in admiration, then nodded and admitted,
> "Yes, I came to the Star Luo Empire to seek you out. I want to ask if there's any method to remove the poison from both my body and Yanyan's.
> Although it may seem desperate, I have no other choice. I'm called Poison Douluo, my poison arts are unrivaled throughout the continent, yet I can do nothing about the poison in my own body.
> I heard from Yanyan that you identified the toxin with just one look, so I came to ask: is there a way to detoxify us?"
Of course, Dai Weis had a solution. But to prevent suspicion, he kept a calm and thoughtful demeanor.
> "If I'm to detoxify you, Senior, I must first know the origin of your poisoning.
I can tell that the toxins in you and Miss Dugu Yan are identical. Could this be a hereditary toxin?"
Dugu Bo's eyes lit up. To discern that the poison was the same and possibly inherited—this youth could truly be called a physician.
> "You're right. The poison in me and Yanyan is the Green Phosphorus Snake venom.
This comes from the origin of our martial spirit. Any Spirit Master who awakens the Green Phosphorus Snake spirit will have the venom gradually invade their body.
> The stronger the Spirit Master becomes, the more potent the poison. Eventually, it kills the host.
I can barely use my spirit power to suppress it, but Yanyan is still young. Once the poison erupts in her body, she may not be able to hold on.
That's why I came to you. Do you have a solution?"
> "Hmm..."
Dai Weis purposely hesitated and furrowed his brow, pretending to think carefully. Only when Dugu Bo began to look slightly anxious did he finally say,
> "In my opinion, this poison is not incurable."
Dugu Bo's eyes shone with hope.
> "Oh? What do you mean?"
> "Any poison must have an antidote. The key is finding the right one.
But the venom in your body comes from your martial spirit's origin—ordinary herbs can't touch it. You'll need immortal herbs."
One sentence at a time, Dai Weis guided Dugu Bo toward mentioning the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire. Only Dugu Bo knew its exact location—somewhere in the Sunset Forest.
Thus, Dai Weis couldn't mention it outright, but he could lead Dugu Bo to bring it up himself.
> "Immortal herbs… how easy do you think it is to find one of those legendary plants?" Dugu Bo sighed.
"Is there truly no other way?"
Seeing that Dugu Bo still hadn't mentioned the Yin-Yang Eye, Dai Weis nearly rolled his eyes. He had to get that treasure trove of miracle herbs!
After a moment, his eyes lit up with a new idea.
> "Actually… It's not impossible to use regular herbs.
But we'd need a place capable of suppressing your toxin—somewhere blessed by nature, where the herbs could be cultivated and strengthened.
Only with that kind of support could we slowly cleanse your body."
> "A place that suppresses poison..." Dugu Bo murmured, then suddenly said in surprise,
"Boy, I actually do know such a place!
Over the years, I've searched endlessly for a cure. I've had no luck…
But I once found a location overflowing with spiritual energy—one with extreme cold and extreme heat mingling in one place.
> The cold and heat alternate, yin and yang interlace. With the energy there, I can suppress my poison somewhat.
Strange herbs grow all over the area. I don't know what they are, but they're extremely toxic—even I don't dare touch them carelessly."
Dai Weis' eyes lit up. That's it! The Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire!
> "That must be the place! With the spiritual energy there, we might be able to fully remove your poison!"
Inside, Dai Weis was cheering wildly.
> Immortal herbs, here I come!
Star Anise Mysterious Ice Grass, Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum, Longing Heartbroken Red, Fiery Apricot—
All of you magical treasures, just wait to enter this prince's collection!
> "Then… would you be willing to come with me?" Dugu Bo asked.
> "Of course." Dai Weis smiled. How could I let such magical herbs slip away?
> "I know a thing or two about medicinal herbs. I'd love to examine the ones Senior has collected."
> "Alright. But I'm not sure if your grandparents will agree to let you go."
> "Don't worry. I'll explain it to them."
Just as expected, when Dugu Bo mentioned taking Dai Weis away, Dai Pojun and the others strongly opposed.
But after Dai Weis explained that Dugu Bo had come to request his help, and that this was a chance to gain the favor of a Titled Douluo, who could assist the Star Luo Empire in the future, they were visibly moved.
Dai Weis's mixture of persuasion and reasoning finally paid off.
> "Very well, Senior. I've convinced my elders. Let's go."
> "Good. No need for a carriage!" As he spoke, Dugu Bo grabbed Dai Weis by the collar and soared into the sky, flying swiftly toward the Sunset Forest.

Ten days later, the old and the young duo arrived at the heart of the Sunset Forest.
In just an hour, they reached the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire. An intense surge of spiritual energy hit them.
The Yin-Yang Eye lay beneath a sheer cliff thousands of feet high, surrounded by green mountains and hidden from the world. No wonder it had remained undiscovered for so many years.
Before them, a dark green poisonous fog swirled ominously. It was a poison formation set up by Dugu Bo. Anyone unfamiliar with its toxicity would die upon entering—even high-level Spirit Masters.
> "This is my herb garden. Be careful. The energy here is volatile and could harm you."
> "Understood."
The two figures—Dugu Bo and Dai Weis—landed. Dai Weis had already activated his Spirit possession to guard against the spiritual pressure.
As he stepped into the valley and laid eyes on the Yin-Yang Eye, Dai Weis's heart surged with excitement.
The spring before him was shaped like a mandarin duck pot—one half icy blue, the other crimson red, yin and yang converging in harmony.
On either side of the spring, two distinctive plants stood proudly—one radiating cold, the other blazing with heat.
> Star Anise Mysterious Ice Grass.
Fiery Apricot Jiaoshu.
These two legendary immortal herbs lay right before his eyes!
> Magic herbs! I'm finally here!
