Chapter 70 Lovesickness and Heartbreak
When Chen Yuan and Dugu Yan returned to the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire, Dugu Bo had not returned yet. When Dugu Bo came back, he was still holding a few rabbits in his hands.

A powerful soul master can indeed go without food for a long time, but eating something can better replenish their physical strength.

After skinning and bleeding the rabbits, removing their internal organs and roasting them over a fire, the three of them shared and ate them.

Just outside the valley, we rested for a night.

The next day, the sky was bright!
Chen Yuan entered the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire again, picked two immortal herbs, Qiluo Tulip and Narcissus Jade Muscle and Bone, put them into the jade box and put it in his arms. As for the other immortal herbs, Chen Yuan did not touch them because he had no suitable users.

He is not Tang San, so he won't peel off even the grass. He only takes what he needs at the moment.

After putting away the magic grass, Chen Yuan took out a jade bottle from the storage soul guide, then summoned the Seven Killing Swords and cut a cut on his left hand. After the blood gushed out and filled half of the jade bottle, Chen Yuan clenched his fist and secretly used the skill "Wildfire cannot burn it all, spring breeze will bring new life", and soon the wound disappeared.

Then, Chen Yuan retracted his spirit, turned around and walked to Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan, and handed the jade bottle in his hand to Dugu Bo:
"Grandpa, this blood contains the power of the Ice and Fire Magic Herb. Take one drop each time as a medicine guide. It can only work best when paired with a tonic medicine. This blood should be enough for half a month. I will come back to replenish it after half a month."

Dugu Bo took the jade bottle. He had verified it yesterday. Chen Yuan was right. This blood could dissolve the poison. He nodded and said:

"Okay, medicine and poison go hand in hand. I am a master of poisons and also well versed in pharmacology. It won't be a big deal to prepare a medicine to strengthen the body and replenish the vital energy."

Then, Chen Yuan held Dugu Yan's jade hand, and, with her puzzled expression, pulled her to a flower.

This flower is quite peculiar. Other flowers grow in the soil, but this flower grows on rocks. It is gorgeous and beautiful, like the king of flowers. It is the Acacia Heartbreak Red.

Chen Yuan said to Dugu Yan:
"Yanyan, this flower is called Acacia Heartbroken Red. It is one of the most precious immortal herbs I know. However, the conditions for picking it are harsh. It needs to be watered with the blood of a destined person in order for it to fall on its own. Otherwise, even if it withers, no one will pick it."

"You can try it. If you can pick this flower and take it, the benefits you gain will be no less than the Ice and Fire Immortal Grass that I took. Your cultivation speed may even catch up with me very quickly."

Chen Yuan only said this much and did not mention the love story in the original novel. It is meaningless and in case it affects Dugu Yan, it would be counterproductive. Only in this ignorant state may there be unexpected gains.

After listening to this, Dugu Yan's eyes lit up. She was originally worried about Chen Yuan's great talent and what she would do if she could not catch up with Chen Yuan. Now, hearing Chen Yuan say that this Acacia Heartbreak Red was a precious fairy herb that was not inferior to the Ice and Fire Fairy Herb, she could not help but get excited.

Duguyan opened her mouth to confirm again:
"Then what do you want me to do? I'll cut my palm like you did, and then drip blood onto the flower. I don't know how much blood I'll need to make the flower fall on its own."

Chen Yuan quickly shook his head:

"This is different from me. You use soul power to vibrate the heart meridian and spit out a little blood. It doesn't need to be too much. This depends on the person. If it is a predestined person, a little blood will fall. If it is not predestined, it will not fall even if you spit out all the blood."

Hearing Chen Yuan say this, Dugu Yan became a little nervous. Then, with the intention of catching up with Chen Yuan, he urged his soul power and vibrated his heart veins. In an instant, his face turned pale and he spit out a stream of blood. It landed right on the stamen of the Acacia Heartbroken Red. At the moment when the blood stained the stamen, the Acacia Heartbroken Red bloomed with a layer of halo.

Under the halo, Dugu Yan was in a trance for a moment, and then she looked at Chen Yuan beside her as if she had realized something. The moment they first met and everything Chen Yuan had done for her appeared before her eyes.

In an instant, the Acacia Heartbreak Red fell down by itself. Seeing this scene, Dugu Yan was very happy, and Chen Yuan was even happier.

As expected, I shouldn't have told that love story. The more you know, the more complicated your mind becomes. The less you know, the simpler your mind becomes. After all, this Acacia Heartbreak Red is just a flower. It is very easy to deceive it.

Dugu Yan bent down and picked up the Acacia Heartbroken Red. As soon as the flower entered her hands, all the strange phenomena disappeared, the halo dissipated, and it became ordinary.

Holding the Acacia Heartbreak Red, Dugu Yan looked thoughtful, then looked at Chen Yuan and said:

"Chen Yuan, are you hiding something from me? I just spat blood on this flower and I seemed to see you in a trance."

Chen Yuan neither admitted nor refuted, but just smiled and said:

"I only know that this flower can only be picked by a destined person. Yanyan, you can pick it, which means you are the destined person. Why bother with so much more? Besides..."

Having said this, Chen Yuan paused, then looked at Dugu Bo and said:
"Grandpa, if you have time, you can take Yanyan to the Xingluo Empire. I have heard that the four single-attribute clans under the Haotian Sect, including the Yang family of Po, the Niu family of Yu, and the Bai family of Min, have all settled in the kingdoms under the Xingluo Empire."

"They should be somewhat famous. If we ask around, we can probably find out where they are. Among them, the Yang family, the Po Yi clan, seems to have done some research on rare flowers and plants."

"Once Acacia Heartbroken Red recognizes its master, it will be impossible for anyone to take it away. With the Yang family's admiration for the immortal herbs, they will definitely be attracted by it once they see Acacia Heartbroken Red. If we ask them to buy their family's research on the immortal herbs, I believe they will not refuse."

"As long as you obtain the research on the immortal grass, Grandpa, Yanyan, you will be sitting on a treasure mountain. However, the information about the ice and fire spring cannot be easily revealed."

Hearing Chen Yuan's words, Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan were both surprised. After Chen Yuan finished speaking, they also understood.

This ice and fire spring and the numerous flowers and plants surrounding it, if they were all magical herbs and if they were all utilized, wouldn’t it be a real treasure trove?

Dugu Bo hesitated for a moment and said:
"That's no problem. If what you said is true, and we can obtain the research on the immortal grass by the Yang family of the Po Yi clan, then this treasure mountain can be truly developed."

After Chen Yuan finished explaining everything, he said goodbye to Dugu Yan alone. After hesitating for a while, he finally flew back to the academy on his sword.
