As the two forces collided and clashed within Yin Hao's body, his appearance shifted
unpredictably, alternating between blue and red. This startled Nihuang, who was not far away. However, she didn't know what Yin Hao was doing and couldn't help him. She could only silently pray for his safety, otherwise she would truly have to embark on a life of wandering!
Feeling the alternation of the two forces within his body, Yin Hao no longer hesitated and leaped towards the point where the blue and red springs met.
Upon entering the spring, two completely opposite springs, one hot and one cold, surged wildly towards Yin Hao, the outsider.
However, the hot and cold clashed, the ice and fire countered each other, and although each occupied half of Yin Hao's body, they all stopped there.
At this moment, Yin Hao felt as if his left side had fallen into an ice cave, unbearably cold, while his right side felt as if he had entered a volcano, unbearably hot. The contrasting temperatures tormented Yin Hao's nerves, forcing him to clench his teeth to slightly alleviate the pain.
However, Yin Hao had no penchant for self-torture. Feeling the pain, he immediately called for the system.
"System, give me a bottle of painkillers!"
[500,000 Gold Soul Coins per bottle, no bargaining!]
"Damn it, you're trying to rip me off!"
Yin Hao gritted his teeth, veins bulging on his forehead, and large beads of sweat dripping down his face like they were free.
[This system always deals fairly, no matter the price.]
Yin Hao didn't want to waste any more words and quickly said,
"500,000 it is! I'll buy it! Give it to me!"
[Purchase successful.]
As 500,000 Gold Soul Coins disappeared from Yin Hao's account, a bottle of white-packaged painkillers appeared in his hand.
Without hesitation, Yin Hao quickly opened it, took out a pill, and put it in his mouth.
The small pill melted instantly upon entering his mouth, and within seconds, the previously excruciating pain in his body was gone.
Yin Hao breathed a sigh of relief and began to channel his Soul Power, using the power of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye to refine the two immortal herbs, the Eight-Cornered Profound Ice Grass and the Blazing Apricot Blossom.
At this moment, a green figure was rushing towards them from the Sunset Forest; it was Dugu Bo.
However, his current condition was not good. His Soul Power was involuntarily leaking out, and the flowers and plants that came into contact with his Soul Power withered instantly.
He placed his right hand on his chest, and his Soul Power circulated rapidly, seemingly suppressing something within his body.
"Damn it! Why did these toxins erupt at this time! I still need to hurry back to that spring..."
Dugu Bo cursed under his breath as he quickened his pace, heading towards the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye at an even faster speed.
Meanwhile, standing not far from the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire, Nihuang was anxiously waiting. However, this hot spring was truly peculiar; even with her Title Douluo strength, she couldn't see through the steam emanating from it.
This meant she had no idea about Yin Hao's condition inside.
Just then, Nihuang suddenly turned around, looking in the direction they had come from.
"Who goes there!"
Dugu Bo, who had just come down from the cliff, was also startled. How could there be anyone else in his place? Apart from his granddaughter, Dugu Yan, no one else should know! After all, even Prince Xuexing didn't know he had such a feng shui treasure in Sunset Forest.
But now wasn't the time to think about that. Dugu Bo quickly removed his right hand from his chest, abandoning his previous hasty demeanor and putting one hand behind his back to appear calm and composed. "Who do we have here? It's none other than Nihuang Douluo from the Spirit Hall! May I ask what brings you to my humble herb garden, Nihuang Douluo?"
Upon seeing Dugu Bo's return and recalling Yin Hao's earlier words, Nihuang spoke.
"Instructions are too simplistic. My Holy Son has come to see you, Master Dugu, and I hope you will not refuse."
"Holy Son?"
Half a year ago, Bibi Dong had already spread the news of establishing a Holy Son for the Spirit Hall. Dugu Bo was aware of this, but due to the Spirit Hall's deliberate concealment, the major powers were still largely unaware of this Holy Son.
However, Dugu Bo had no desire to see this so-called Holy Son or have any contact with him.
He only wanted to quickly get rid of this woman and her so-called Holy Son, and then use the spring water ahead to suppress the toxins in his body.
"I've long heard that the Spirit Hall has appointed a Holy Son, but unfortunately, I have important matters to attend to today. Please come another day, Holy Son..."
Nihuang wasn't in a hurry; after all, Yin Hao's words were meant to stall Dugu Bo as much as possible, so she continued.
"Mr. Dugu, please speak these words directly to the Holy Son. I cannot speak on his behalf..."
Seeing that Nihuang refused to leave, Dugu Bo was practically grinding his teeth, but he dared not use his Soul Power, fearing that Nihuang would notice his current state and harbor murderous intent—that would be disastrous.
Dugu Bo dared not make any rash moves, afraid of revealing his abnormal state. Nihuang's purpose was to stall Dugu Bo, so since he didn't move, she naturally wouldn't make any unnecessary moves.
However, although Dugu Bo appeared calm on the surface, he was becoming increasingly anxious. The poison within his body was still erupting. He could currently suppress it with his vast Soul Power, but as the poison erupted more and more intensely, suppressing it became increasingly difficult.
If he had to waste another hour or two with Nihuang, he would be finished without her even lifting a finger!
Fortunately, he didn't have to wait any longer.
With a splash of water, a human-like figure emerged from the thick mist above the spring.
However… this person… seemed to be naked?
Yin Hao noticed this as well and quickly summoned a wall with his Blue Silver Grass as cover.
He then put on the clothes he had taken from his ring behind the wall
before stepping out from behind.
"Your Highness, Holy Son!"
Nihuang quickly bowed.
In private, she could call Yin Hao "brother," and she could accept him calling her "sister," but with outsiders present, proper etiquette was still necessary.
Yin Hao nodded, holding a folding fan he had found somewhere, and stepped forward.
Dugu Bo was also stunned. He had been wondering where the Holy Son Nihuang had mentioned was, but it turned out that the Holy Son was actually bathing in the hot spring?
Having lived near this hot spring for so many years, Dugu Bo was intimately familiar with its power. Let alone the Holy Son's Soul Power fluctuations, which seemed to be only around level 30 or 40, even he, a level 91 Title Douluo, wouldn't dare say he could emerge unscathed after entering the spring.
Yin Hao also noticed the green-haired elder not far away, and smiled ashe spoke,
"This must be Senior Poison Douluo, right? This lad, Yin Hao, greets Senior."
