บท 33: Chapter 33: The Hot Yang Spring and the Cold Yin
It didn't take long for Shirou to finish writing down all the ingredients needed to make pills along with a furnace to mix and smelt the ingredients he wanted. Shirou added that because he had hopes that Dugu Bo had the furnace because Dugu Bo himself was also one who studied medicine, drugs, and the like.
Shirou directly handed the paper back to Dugu Bo and said, "Here are the necessary materials"
"Hmph!" Dugu Bo sniffed dissatisfiedly the gaze from Chen Xin who was staring at him. Dugu Bo immediately took the note and started reading the materials Shirou wrote down.
When Dugu Bo read the ingredients, Dugu Bo was immediately surprised and happy because of the ingredients needed to make Evolution Pills, he had each of these ingredients even had enough ingredients to make 4 Evolution Pills for himself and his beloved Granddaughter. However, Dugu Bo didn't show that expression afraid that Chen Xin would find out.
Chen Xin, who saw Dugu Bo fall silent immediately commented in a mocking tone, "How is it, Old Poison? Do you understand now?"
"Hmph! These materials themselves are still within the scope of my power to obtain. Don't you think that only the Seven Treasure Title Glazed Sect can obtain this material so easily? Our Dugu Family can also obtain these materials easily." Dugu Bo sneered sarcastically at Chen Xin's words.
Shirou himself could only shake his head with a sigh, " It seems that everyone who has become a Title Douluo has almost entirely the temperament of an extremely irritable child. Moreover, each of them has an old age."
"How is it, Venerable Poison Douluo? Is it possible to get these materials? If it's possible, I can help to concoct an Evolution Pill to enhance Venerable Poison Douluo's martial soul and your Grandson." Shirou said casually.
Hearing Shirou's question, Dugu Bo's expression that was mocking each other with Chen Xin immediately turned into a smile and looked at Shirou as he said, "It doesn't matter, these materials themselves are still within the scope of my power. I was able to gather these materials quickly." Dugu Bo paused and continued, "By the way, kid. Are there any conditions for Furnaces listed in this record?"
"A Furnace?" Chen Xin asked while looking at Shirou.
Shirou smiled slightly and said, "The furnace has a function for me to mix and smelt the ingredients used to make Pills. For my current level, I still can't make a tier 5 Pill without using a Furnace. The furnace I want is very hard and strong. If Venerable Poison Douluo could gather the materials I requested in less than 1 week from now, Venerable Poison Douluo would have to prepare a Furnace. However, it is different if Venerable Poison Douluo obtains the materials in less than a week, Venerable Poison Douluo does not need to prepare the Furnace, since the Furnace I ordered to the Li Sect will be finished in less than 1 week from now."
"Okay" Dugu Bo nodded and immediately kept the note happily and thought of a plan after this to be able to talk to Shirou one-on-one without Chen Xin's presence, Dugu Bo suddenly thought of something and said, "Son, it seems that you are having a lot of trouble with this. call me with a nickname like that. Since we are now an ally and a cooperative partner, you can now call me Poison Grandpa just as you call Old Sword Grandpa Sword."
Shirou himself was surprised to hear this, true to himself, whenever he addressed a Title Douluo with his honorifics, he had a bit of trouble. Because of this hearing from Dugu Bo's words, Shirou became very happy and asked, "Is it true?"
Dugu Bo nodded and said happily, "Hahaha~ No problem. I allow you to call me with a nickname like this in the future" while looking at Shirou with a hot gaze, " I hope this child can become my future son-in-law," Dugu Bo thought happily.
"Thank you, Poison Grandpa" Shirou said happily because he didn't have to keep calling out in a very long tone of voice.
" Hmph! Damn Old Poison, looks like he is trying to slowly move closer to Xiao Shi." Chen Xin thought as he said, "Old Poison, it seems we have forgotten our purpose for coming here, haven't we?"
Shirou who was listening to Chen Xin's question suddenly came back to his senses with their purpose in coming to this location. Shirou directly looked at Dugu Bo and said, "It seems so. Poison Grandpa, let's continue our journey."
"Hmph!" Dugu Bo sniffed discontentedly at Chen Xin. However, due to Shirou's request, Dugu Bo immediately led their way back and slowly descended from the sky followed by Shirou and Chen Xin who were behind.
The three of them immediately descended in front of a cave and walked inside. The three of them slowly walked into the cave and suddenly found the right entrance, their exit was on a fairly high cliff with the area in front of them covered in a very wide and thick fog.
" This scent…. Sulfur ?" Shirou who had arrived at the location immediately smelled a very familiar scent. In the presence of sulfur, there must be hot water with a fairly high-temperature level. Shirou immediately looked down and said, "Grandpa Poison, is the location of the place we're headed to down here?"
"Right. Let's go down." Dugu Bo slowly started to float back up and slowly descended followed by Chen Xin and Shirou also slowly descending downwards using their flying technique.
Getting closer to the bottom area, Shirou, Chen Xin, and Dugu Bo felt the temperature below starting to mix hot and cold. However, for the strength of the three of them, that temperature was nothing, especially for Shirou who had a Supreme Flame martial soul, that temperature didn't even have any effect on Shirou. Not only did he feel the temperature change, Shirou who was very familiar with the aura of heaven and earth thanks to the absorption of immortal plants earlier felt that this environment he had come from had increased 10 times thicker than the one outside before.
Soon Shirou, Chen Xin, and Dugu Bo came directly below the surface of the cliff. Arriving at that location, Chen Xin and Shirou gazed at the beautiful scenery in the region. The area is dominated by red and blue crystals and various kinds of plants that grow in the surrounding area carrying the power of heaven and earth that is quite strong.
" Amazing~ How was this place discovered by this Old Poison?" Chen Xin stared in awe at the scene before his eyes.
Shirou looked around and found various kinds of perennial plants that were still relatively easy to fend for himself. Shirou walked towards the front and found a fairly large pool with water that had different colors, namely red and blue, which had different temperatures in each corner. Red is very hot and blue is very cold.
However, if one looked closely, the two halves of water never merged and only guarded their respective territories like having a wall separating each other.
Dugu Bo who saw Shirou walking closer to the area near the spring immediately said, "Son, be careful!" Dugu Bo was afraid of the careless Shirou and fell in the area where he died instantly. Even for himself a Title Douluo, it would be impossible to withstand the heat and cold of the pool.
Shirou himself listened to Dugu Bo's worries. However, Shirou who had the Supreme Flame martial soul still didn't feel the heat of the surrounding area, Shirou was still staring in amazement at the scene in front of him as Dugu Bo and Chen Xin walked up to him.
"Hot Yang and Cold Yin Spring, I didn't expect to be able to see this treasure in person" Shirou muttered under his breath as he acted not to raise any unwanted suspicions.
"The Hot Spring and the Cold Yin? Son, do you know anything about this pool?" Dugu Bo asked curiously and was slightly surprised, Chen Xin also who was beside Dugu Bo was slightly curious about it.
Shirou nodded and said, "I learned this from an adventure I went through before. The name of this pond is the Pool of Hot Springs of Yang and Cold Yin, this pool is one of the ten locations or areas that are very good for cultivating and cultivating medicinal plants because in this area the condensed energy of heaven and earth gathers. As the name itself implies Hot Springs of Hot Yin and Cold Yin, it is named after the pool itself."
Shirou stopped and pointed towards the front as he said, "This pool itself has two colors and the two colors represent different temperatures. The first is red which has a very hot temperature and blue which has a very cold temperature, and the name Yin and Yang itself is taken because from the surface of the water, even if they occupy the same container, they are separate and have their share of each other. each like a yin and yang pattern."
Chen Xin looked at Shirou and said, "Little friend, is there any chance that treasures like the Hot Yang Spring and Cold Yin Spring could be found elsewhere like here?"
Dugu Bo who was listening to this question from Chen Xin was also curious. Shirou exhaled and said, "There is a possibility since treasures like the Hot Spring and Cold Yin were not created naturally or due to natural factors but because of several things that helped form this location"
"There are some things that help form?" Dugu Bo and Chen Xin asked carefully.
Shirou nodded and said, "I can only guess at the origin of this region. There are several possibilities, firstly because there is a treasure that has very strong power against the Fire element and Ice element which is below the bottom of the Hot Spring and Cold Yin which allows this location to form."
"A very powerful treasure?" Chen Xin and Dugu Bo were immediately attracted by Shirou's words.
"Besides the treasure, another possibility is that an extremely powerful soul inhabits the bottom of this pond," Shirou said calmly.
"A soul?" Dugu Bo and Chen Xin again asked simultaneously.
"Usually if a person has reached an extremely strong level of strength, for example, a Title Douluo, there is a chance that by the time that person has died, the region in which his body is buried will emit a force strong enough to attract the energy of the surrounding heaven and earth. The same goes for soul beasts that have died and only bones remain. However, if we take the case of humans and soul beasts as the factors that create this region, I will be more inclined towards the case of the soul beasts themselves than humans."
"Why? Would humans themselves not be able to achieve such a thing?" Chen Xin asked while frowning.
Shirou nodded and said, "Yes, humans alone can only increase their soul power to the limit of 99 a Bats Douluo, if they want to advance to a higher level humans must seek an inheritance in the World Guardians to inherit their power. With the limit strength of a 99 Title Douluo, when compared to a soul beast, a human's strength that had reached this limit could only compete with a soul beast that had a lifespan of 400,000 to 600,000 years. Whereas soul beasts themselves can cultivate until they are 999,999 years old before they take part in the trials to ascend to the 1,000,000-year-old sacred beast level."
Chen Xin and Dugu Bo's gazes changed after Shirou explained this. They weren't surprised by the knowledge Shirou had about this. Because they also have little knowledge about this.
Shirou paused for a moment and started to think a little and recalled some of the explanations he got in Douluo's book. After he remembered, Shirou continued, "I'm just guessing myself, I don't know if this is true or not, there's a possibility that at the bottom of the hot and cold Yin Spring, there are the remains of a 1,000,000-year-old sacred beast that is still alive. complete with bones. Because only that can be a factor in the formation of this region."
"A 1,000,000-year-old sacred beast?" Dugu Bo and Chen Xin exclaimed in surprise at the same time.
" Wait! If it's a 1,000,000-year-old sacred soul beast, is there any chance that there's also a soul bone underneath?" Chen Xin thought excitedly and started trying to plan to try to get the soul's bone. Not only Chen Xin but Dugu Bo also thought so.
Shirou who had finished explaining saw Chen Xin and Dugu Bo who were thinking, Shirou immediately recognized the thought and immediately silenced the two of them, "You two better not do anything crazy to get the soul bone at the bottom of this lake"
"Ha?" Like a child caught red-handed doing something that his parents didn't want, Chen Xin and Dugu Bo were shocked to hear this.
Shirou continued back, "I'm just suggesting you two not to do it. The first is that the two of you alone won't even be able to touch the Hot Yang and Cold Yin Springs. Even with the two of you being Title Douluo, before the two of you got to the bottom of this location, there was a chance that both of you would die instantly once your bodies touched the surface of the water from the Hot Yang and Cold Yin Spring pools. Besides, if the two of you were able to enter the Cold Yin and Hot Springs and touch the bottom of the pond, there might still be the souls of the two sacred beasts remaining. Even if it was just their souls, it would be enough to kill a Title Douluo like the two of you. So I suggest that both of you can erase your greed to get the soul bones of these two beings."
Dugu Bo and Chen Xin smiled bitterly because they didn't expect that the consequences of going to get those soul's bones would pay for their lives. Not waiting for a long time, Shirou continued back.
"Also, if the two of you were able to obtain the soul's bone, what would the two of you do? Want to use it? With the strength level of the soul beast, the moment the two of you were to absorb the soul's bone, there was a chance that your bodies would not be able to withstand the soul's bone and would be crushed instantly. Are you two sure about absorbing a 1,000,000-year-old soul bone?" Shirou asked seriously.
Dugu Bo and Chen Xin were speechless at Shirou's words, they both looked at each other and smiled bitterly at Shirou's truthfulness and stupidity that they both showed. Moreover, their ninth soul ring was only 90,000 years old which did not reach 100,000 years of lifespan. It was also Chen Xin and Dugu Bo that had to try hard to absorb the ring and risk the lives of both of them.
Comparing 90,000 years old and 1,000,000-year-old soul beasts, Chen Xin and Dugu Bo instantly knew how pain absorbed something from a 1,000,000-year-old soul beast. That's why the desire they were about to do before was immediately lost after hearing Shirou's words
"It's better for those soul bones to stay where they are and also for us to let those sacred soul beasts rest in peace. We have been able to get as much benefit from this as we are getting now. By forcing us to take the soul bone, apart from risking our lives, we will also not be able to use the soul's bone and will only become a display in the house or sect. It would also be very frightening if it were to spread across the Douluo continent because it is possible that one of us will become the target of many powers to fight for the soul's bone and this Douluo continent will enter a bloody era due to the struggle for the soul's bone." Shirou said seriously looking at Chen Xin and Dugu Bo.
Chen Xin and Dugu Bo looked at each other, they immediately nodded and understood that they would keep everything here a secret.
