บท 45: Nectar of Vishalya

Feng Xuan's eyesight wasn't any worse than Dugu Bo's at night. Feng Xuan didn't look at Dugu Bo, but rather gazed into the scene in the ravine. What made him astonished was that the hot spring in the ravine wasn't anything like he had imagined. While the hot spring wasn't large, it was split into two parts: in the oval pool, the waters of the hot spring were separately colored milky white and vermillion. Even more bizarre, even though they were in the same pool they remained separated, not encroaching on each other and constantly keeping to their sides.

Feng Xuan knows it will be a mind-blowing scene to see Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well but seeing is believing.

"Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. Is this actually an Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well?"

An Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well referred to just this kind of Heaven-favored spring, two wells in one, yin and yang mutually restraining each other. Ten million years might not be enough to form such a precious place!

The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well wasn't just for growing things. At the same time it had extremely unusual effects on the human body. If humans or maybe animals stayed at the side of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, then in a very short time their bodies would be attacked by two kinds of extremely potent Heavenly spiritual influences. If they didn't leave fast enough, their bodies were bound to burst and die. But to someone as toxic as Dugu Bo, it could have enormous benefits. Extreme heat and extreme cold both had a restraining effect on poisonous substances. And a Heavenly treasure location like this Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well had an even greater restraining effect on poison. Otherwise, it would still be impossible for all kinds of rare plants to grow here simultaneously.

With the suppression of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Dugu Bo was able to all along keep the poison in his body from flaring up. The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well's properties protected the plants in the surroundings, and became a contributing factor to Dugu Bo's survival.

"Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well? What are you talking about?"Dugu Bo somewhat suspicious looked at Feng Xuan.

Feng Xuan forcefully calmed his surging mind, doing his utmost not to let his joy out, "It's nothing, I just didn't expect there would actually be such a good place here. If I originally only had a seventy percent chance of treating your poison, then with this Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, my certainty has increased to ninety percent."

He is not like Tang San who used Dugu Bo for himself.

"What? Only ninety percent?"Dugu Bo's tone of voice immediately displayed a warm smile, "Kid, are you telling the truth?"

Feng Xuan coldly said: "Why would I need to tell lies? You've been steeped in excessive poison mist for so many years that having a ninety percent probability of a cure is already the maximum. Otherwise, even if I can't cure you, it will still be enough to blunt the pain. As for your granddaughter, I'm confident in my ability to treat her even without the help of this Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well."

Dugu Bo's complexion improved a bit at this, pointing to the surroundings of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well he said: "All my medical plants grow here. Every kind of poison and tonic. You can use whatever you like, but if you dare wreck this place I'll make you wish you were dead. I'll relax the time restrictions a bit. The day after tomorrow, if you can't pass my test, then it will be your last day. Of course, you can still try to run. But let me tell you that this is a well-known spirit beast forest, apart from this mountain where spirit beasts don't dare enter because of my poison, the spirit beasts outside are of at least the thousand-year level. If you run, the spirit beasts will tear you to pieces without me needing to dirty my hands."

Finished speaking, Dugu Bo leaped up, the tips of his toes touching the mountain wall, climbing out of the ravine like a giant bird. As his silhouette disappeared above, his voice once again echoed down, "Kid, bear in mind, don't get close to that double hot spring. Even I can't endure the blazing heat and extreme cold there for long. If you touch it, you will die."

Watching Dugu Bo's silhouette gradually disappear in the watery mist, Feng Xuan's lip gradually turns into an arc, 'What are you saying? I won't commit suicide again, how would I let myself easily turn into ash in the waters of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well?' That might be the coldest and hottest place between heaven and earth."

As per his knowledge of scripture, he needed to use some immortal herb to get into the lake.

With Dugu Bo gone, Feng Xuan no longer had to restrain his excitement, quickly stepping over to the side of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well with fiery red spring water. Bizarrely, the surface of this tranquil hot spring didn't seem to give off any heat at all. He used his Vedic knowledge to identify the immortal herbs and understand their effects.

Feng Xuan of course wouldn't be deceived, the temperature of this red liquid could be compared to lava. If curiosity compelled him to reach down and touch it, then wherever it touched him would instantly burn away.

Drawing a deep breath, Feng Xuan only felt his heartbeat constantly speed up. This was the first time he had been so uncontainably excited in this life, even in his last life it could only compare to when he made the Buddha Fury Tang Lotus.

Walking among the plants, Feng Xuan recognized the Star Anise Mysterious Ice Grass, known for its extremely cold properties that could counteract many toxins. He also found the Flaming Apricot Cabbage, a fiery herb with potent detoxifying effects. As he continued, he discovered the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, another herb with strong detoxifying capabilities.

Feng Xuan's eyes sparkled as he identified the Yearning Heartbroken Red, a herb capable of incredible healing and detoxification. He knew that combining these herbs in the right proportions could create a powerful antidote. He carefully collected the necessary herbs, mindful of their unique properties.

After gathering what he needed, Feng Xuan sat down to prepare the antidote. He ground the herbs into fine powders and mixed them with precise measurements of water, creating a potent elixir. His Vedic knowledge guided him in balancing the herbs' properties, ensuring the antidote would be effective against Dugu Bo's venom.

As night fell, Feng Xuan continued to work tirelessly, refining the antidote and testing its potency. He meditated briefly, drawing upon the calming and focusing techniques taught by Shivarjuna. His mind remained clear, and his determination never wavered.

With dawn approaching, Feng Xuan finally completed his preparation. He held a small vial of the elixir, confident in its ability to withstand Dugu Bo's venom strikes. He can withstand a normal position without needing anything but Dugu Bo's innate poison can be held with little difficulty to withstand, so he ready vial which he calls Nectar of Vishalya which is a universal antidote that uses the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, another herb with strong detoxifying capabilities as well as some poison which can nullify poison with poison.

Most difficult part to make this was to get immortal herb which is available here in Ice and Fire Yin Yang volley.

"This Nector can be used as an antibody to develop poison resister. So now whenever I get poisoned with this Nector I just need to resist it for some time after that I can become immune to that type of poison. Dugu Bo can be my practice material." Think Feng Xuan with a smile on his face.
