Chapter 16: Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well
Hearing this, Dugu Bo was slightly taken aback. The child had not spoken a word since entering, and this sudden interjection caught him off guard.
Tiankong had no choice but to speak up; without Yu Yuanzhen playing the role of "divine mouthpiece" or "external mouth substitute," how could they simply persuade Dugu Bo?
"Clan Leader Yu, what's mine and yours, if not all for our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan?" Yu Yuanzhen leaned down, patting Tiankong on the shoulder as he corrected him.
Tiankong and Dugu Bo: "..."
This old man really doesn't play by the rules!
Suddenly, Dugu Bo's pupils narrowed, and his gaze towards Tiankong changed.
What kind of monster is this?
He instinctively placed his hand on Tiankong's shoulder, channeling a strand of soul power towards him.
The next moment, Dugu Bo stood frozen in place.
"Six years old, impossible, how could it be?"
Dugu Bo mumbled to himself as if in disbelief.
As something dawned on him, Dugu Bo's eyes lit up, just about to say something when a purple lightning bolt descended from the sky, striking directly above his head.
"Presumptuous! This body is mine…"
The voice halted as if stuck, with no continuation.
Yu Yuanzhen and Tiankong did not hear these words, only Dugu Bo, who was struck by the lightning, did.
Tiankong and Yu Yuanzhen blinked. Yu Yuanzhen had intended to use this situation to coerce Dugu Bo into truly joining the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, since only insiders are trustworthy.
Is Tiankong's information something that just anyone should know?
But before he could speak, the man was struck by lightning.
This purple lightning was all too familiar to Yu Yuanzhen.
He looked at Dugu Bo and then at Tiankong.
Yu Yuanzhen sighed with relief, it seemed that the powerful being approved of him, otherwise, Tiankong wouldn't have ended up directly in his arms from the start.
Thinking this, Yu Yuanzhen stood tall and content.
Dugu Bo exhaled a puff of white smoke; the power of this lightning bolt was not too great, yet not too small either. He wasn't hurt, but he was profoundly shaken!
That majestic voice left Dugu Bo unable to recover for a long time.
"A divine powerhouse! Definitely a divine powerhouse!"
He had merely probed Tiankong's bone age and got struck by lightning.
If he had harbored even a hint of malice, would he not have been reduced to ashes?
"Vice Clan Leader, let's go. Solving this spirit poison sooner will benefit you as well."
"Yes, Clan Leader."
Dugu Bo acknowledged his new role as Vice Clan Leader of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan!
What poison? If you had mentioned it earlier, wouldn't I, Dugu Bo, have willingly joined the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan?
At that moment, Dugu Bo's look towards Tiankong shifted once again.
Tiankong himself hadn't recovered yet. Was that purple lightning released by the Raiden Shogun?
He felt as if half his soul power had been drawn out, then that lightning appeared.
If it had been his own release, that little soul power might hardly have made Dugu Bo exhale a puff of smoke.
But if it was the Raiden Shogun who released it, transforming its essence, it wasn't impossible for it to leave Dugu Bo in such a disheveled state.
Realizing this, Tiankong also came back to his senses, no longer concerned. The Raiden Shogun must have had her reasons for releasing that lightning.
With that, the three of them, each with their own thoughts, headed towards the Sunset Forest.
When they arrived at the Sunset Forest, Yu Yuanzhen took another look at Tiankong and suddenly understood why Tiankong had mentioned coming here to get his first soul ring. Tiankong was planning to take advantage of this place in advance!
Living to his age and reaching level 96, Yu Yuanzhen was no fool and instantly grasped the situation. Their previous misfortune was merely not finding this treasure site.
Before long, the trio reached a poison formation. Dugu Bo, recalling something, quickly took out two black pills and handed them to Tiankong and Yu Yuanzhen. "After discovering this place, I set up a poison formation to prevent any soul masters or beasts from damaging it," he explained.
Yu Yuanzhen, after a moment's hesitation and contemplation, swallowed one of the pills. He wasn't afraid of any tricks from Dugu Bo; even if it were a poison pill, he could eliminate Dugu Bo before the toxins took effect. Such was Yu Yuanzhen's confidence.
Tiankong, without hesitation, also swallowed the pill. He knew the kind of person Dugu Bo was.
Despite Dugu Bo's eccentric personality, once he committed to something, it was hard to change his mind. Now that he had "willingly" joined the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, why would he resort to deceit?
Seeing Tiankong swallow the antidote without any hesitation touched Dugu Bo. He was aware of his reputation.
Even Prince Xue Xing, who owed him a favor, wouldn't dare to take Dugu Bo's pills so trustingly.
These were things Dugu Bo understood but never spoke of; his heart was clear as a mirror.
Carrying Tiankong, Yu Yuanzhen and Dugu Bo soon reached the peak of the mountain. Looking down, the entire view of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well unfolded before them.
Yu Yuanzhen was instantly stunned by the scenery, something he had never even dreamed of.
Tiankong, too, stared dumbfounded at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. The crystals of ice and fire elements were one thing, but the gleaming light emitted by the surrounding flora momentarily dazed him.
Where in their original world could such a spectacle exist?
It only took a moment for the three to reach the edge of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well's waters.
"This is the treasure site I discovered. It has the ability to rapidly grow plants and also suppresses the toxins in my body. Beyond that, I don't know much more," Dugu Bo sincerely explained.
"Vice Clan Leader, I have a question I really want to ask," Tiankong said, his face full of perplexity.
"Ask away, young Clan Leader. I will withhold nothing and provide full answers!" Dugu Bo replied without hesitation.
Following him seemed to promise a brighter future than following Yu Yuanzhen!
Hearing this, Tiankong pointed to a chrysanthemum beside him and addressed Dugu Bo, "Vice Clan Leader, you might not recognize the other plants, but this Qi Rong Tong Tian Chrysanthemum, you should know better than anyone else, right?"
They say your greatest enemy knows you best.
The Chrysanthemum Douluo's spirit was the Qi Rong Tong Tian Chrysanthemum, and Dugu Bo, as his enemy, would undoubtedly recognize it.
"Young Clan Leader, of course I recognize the Qi Rong Tong Tian Chrysanthemum, but what use does it have?"
Dugu Bo furrowed his brow, not quite understanding why Tiankong would mention it.
He remembered that Chrysanthemum Douluo had cultivated the Qi Rong Tong Tian Chrysanthemum to be sharper than swords, but it was still just a flower; what use could it have?
Tiankong: "..."
Alright, Dugu Bo really didn't understand. If this place had been discovered by Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan, he might have gone mad!
