"Senior Dugu, are you serious? Are all these herbs really for me?"
Gu Feng tried his best to suppress the excitement in his heart, but the corners of his mouth still curled up uncontrollably, and his eyes sparkled with unconcealable joy.
He had been waiting for this moment for far too long.
Three years! A full three years! Do you know how I've lived through these three years?
Dugu Bo frowned and snorted coldly, "Hmph, when I, Dugu Bo, speak, my word is as good as gold. Go ask around in Heaven Dou City, who doesn't know of my reputation?"
Gu Feng stifled a laugh and nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, "Alright, alright, I believe you, I really do."
I just hope you won't regret it later.
Dugu Yan looked at him in astonishment and couldn't help but ask, "Gu Feng, is it really that exciting? It's just some herbs. Your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is so wealthy, can't you get as many as you want?"
She truly couldn't understand why Gu Feng was so thrilled.
Gu Feng's lips curled into a mysterious smile as he shrugged and said, "Don't worry, you'll understand soon enough."
With that, he ran straight toward the center of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
"Hey! Kid Gu Feng, you can't go there!"
Seeing Gu Feng recklessly heading toward the center of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Dugu Bo's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly called out to stop him.
Gu Feng waved his hand without looking back, his voice filled with confidence, "Don't worry, Senior, I know what I'm doing."
However, Dugu Bo still couldn't rest easy. His brows furrowed tightly as he quickly followed, fearing that Gu Feng might get into trouble.
Seeing this, Dugu Yan, who had just finished detoxifying her body and was still feeling somewhat fatigued, hesitated for a moment. But soon, her curiosity overpowered her exhaustion.
She didn't even bother to put on her shoes, her fair jade-like feet stepping on the ground as she hurriedly chased after them, shouting, "Wait for me!"
When Dugu Bo noticed Dugu Yan following as well, he immediately frowned and said, "Yan Yan, why are you following too? This is no joke!"
Dugu Yan stuck out her pink tongue playfully, her expression both cute and stubborn as she retorted, "If Gu Feng can go, why can't I?"
"How can you compare to him? That kid is a monster. Even some high-level Soul Masters dare not stay here for long. Alright, stop being stubborn and go back to the bamboo house over there!"
Dugu Bo's expression grew even more serious, his tone carrying an air of unquestionable authority.
After all, the outer area of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well generally posed no harm to Soul Masters—it was negligible.
But once you reached the inner area, it was a completely different story. The cold energy here, once it entered the body, could be unbearable even for high-level Soul Masters.
"No! If you're not leaving, then I'm not leaving either." Dugu Yan pouted stubbornly, crossing her arms in front of her chest, clearly having made up her mind.
"Yan Yan!"
Dugu Bo's voice grew stern, trying to make Dugu Yan compromise, but all he got in response was Dugu Yan turning her back on him.
Although Dugu Yan had turned her head away, the corner of her eye was still secretly observing Dugu Bo's expression. She knew in her heart that her grandfather was only looking out for her, but her curiosity was too strong, and she really didn't want to go back just yet.
Besides, if Gu Feng could go, why couldn't she?
Was she really weaker than Gu Feng?
Perhaps in a few years, it might be the case, but for now, Dugu Yan is fully confident that she is stronger than Gu Feng.
Seeing that he couldn't persuade this willful little girl, Dugu Bo sighed helplessly and could only nod in agreement.
However, Dugu Bo still spoke with a serious expression, "Later, you must stay close to me. I will use my Protective Soul Power to shield you. You must not run off, understand?"
Upon hearing her grandfather's agreement, Dugu Yan's face lit up with joy, and she nodded vigorously, "Yes, yes, I promise I won't run off!"
Meanwhile.
On the other side, Gu Feng hurriedly arrived at the inner area of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
His gaze was firmly fixed on the two Ice Fire Immortal Herbs emitting a strange glow below, his eyes filled with fervor and desire.
Standing still, Gu Feng furrowed his brows slightly. After a moment of thought, he decided it would be wise to consult Old Yi.
"Old Yi, with my current physique, can I directly absorb these two Immortal Herbs?"
After a while, an aged voice echoed in his mind, "In my opinion, Little Fengzi, you might as well consume the Nether Grass over there first. After consuming this Immortal Herb, you should be able to fully master the Undead Power of your Martial Soul."
"Then, you can proceed to absorb the Blazing Apricot Velvet and the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Herb. This will maximize your chances of successful absorption."
"Alright!" Gu Feng nodded without hesitation and immediately walked towards the location of a dark purple Immortal Herb not far away.
He quickly recalled the method Old Yi had previously explained for consuming Immortal Herbs, remembering every detail clearly.
Gu Feng bent down slightly, moving gently and carefully as he slowly cut the Immortal Herb from its stem.
Then, he picked up a leaf, placed it in his mouth, and chewed it thoroughly, simultaneously circulating his Soul Power to guide the medicinal energy slowly through his limbs and body.
After consuming all the leaves, Gu Feng slowly closed his eyes, sat cross-legged, and entered a deep meditative state, fully absorbing the powerful medicinal energy.
Before long, a thick, ink-black mist surged out from his body, instantly enveloping him completely.
From a distance, the mist looked like a thick cocoon.
This cocoon completely isolated Gu Feng from the outside world.
Witnessing this scene from within the Soul Guidance Ring, Electrolux murmured to himself, "Breaking out of the cocoon to become a butterfly? Who would have thought, Little Fengzi, that you would have such a tremendous opportunity!"
He narrowed his eyes slightly, a hint of amazement flashing in his gaze, "It seems the age of this Nether Grass far exceeds my expectations. It might even be on the verge of developing sentience."
At that moment, Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan also arrived in haste.
Dugu Yan immediately noticed Gu Feng enveloped in the black mist and, thinking he had met with misfortune, was instantly terrified, her face filled with anxiety.
She instinctively raised her hand, ready to release her Martial Soul to break through the strange black mist, "Gu Feng, are you alright?"
However, Dugu Bo saw through the situation. With a grave expression, he raised his hand to stop her, "Yan Yan, don't act rashly. Gu Feng must have consumed one of the herbs from my garden. I can sense his aura is very stable. He should be fine."
"However, this kid is too reckless. Even I might not be able to fully distinguish all the herbs in this medicinal garden, yet he dares to consume them so rashly."
After saying this, Dugu Bo couldn't help but feel a wave of fear.
If something really happened to this kid because of his careless consumption of herbs, it would be a huge problem.
Just thinking about Gu Rong's unfathomable strength made Dugu Bo inwardly groan in distress.
If one day Gu Rong came storming in to demand an explanation, he would truly be at a loss for words.
