“Is that academy really that impressive?” Tang San asked.
Dai Mubai shook his head honestly.
“Not exactly.
As long as your talent is high enough, anyone can enter the Spirit Academy.
They even have elite classes.”
Every Soul Master in the elite class possessed innate soul power of at least Level 6.
“Hiss… that’s terrifying!” Xiao Wu exclaimed.
If the Spirit Academy was already this outrageous, then Spirit Hall itself must be even stronger.
How was she ever supposed to take revenge?
“Forget about the Spirit Academy unless you’re planning to join Spirit Hall,” Dai Mubai said.
“Everyone there is loyal to Spirit Hall.”
“Mmm.” Tang San nodded.
Naturally, he had no intention of joining another faction.
His goal was to establish the Tang Sect in this world.
…
Several days later.
Xu Fan and Zhu Zhuqing arrived in Barak City, the capital of the Barak Kingdom.
“Where are we going?” Zhu Zhuqing asked.
“To Sunset Forest,” Xu Fan replied.
“If you don’t want to come with me, I can send you to Heaven Dou Royal Academy first.
Once I’m done, I’ll come find you.”
Xu Fan wasn’t worried about Zhu Zhuqing taking the immortal herbs for herself.
She simply didn’t have that capability.
Zhu Zhuqing understood.
It seemed that the so-called Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye was located in Sunset Forest.
“Then I’ll go with you,” she said.
She wanted to see the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye for herself.
She didn’t covet those legendary herbs.
At least, not now.
She wasn’t familiar enough with Xu Fan yet, and the value of immortal herbs was simply too great.
Even if Xu Fan offered one to her, she wouldn’t dare accept it.
After checking into the hotel, Xu Fan glanced at the time.
A week had passed.
Another perfect day to write.
[We’ve arrived in the Barak Kingdom and are getting closer to Sunset Forest.]
[The Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well should currently be under Grandpa Dugu’s control.
If I want to obtain the immortal herbs, there are only three possible approaches.]
[First, using absolute strength—but that’s impossible right now.
Even if Grandpa Dugu is considered the weakest Title Douluo, he’s still a Title Douluo.]
[Second, approaching things through Yan Yan and directly becoming Grandpa Dugu’s grandson-in-law.
But that would take too long, and I don’t have time to waste.]
“Then there’s only the third option,” Xu Fan muttered.
“Make a direct deal with Grandpa Dugu.”
In this world, there are probably only three people who can identify them.”
[Chrysanthemum Douluo of Spirit Hall, Tang San, and me.]
Spirit Hall.
“Teacher!
The immortal herbs are in Sunset Forest!” Hu Liena’s eyes lit up.
Bibi Dong was also pleased.
At last, they knew the location of the immortal herbs.
“Are we still going to steal them?” Ling Yuan asked softly.
Hu Liena felt helpless.
Of course not.
If they went, wouldn’t Xu Fan realize that someone could access what he had written?
Seeing people was one thing—but immortal herbs were far too important.
They couldn’t act recklessly.
“It’s a pity about Grandpa Ju,” Hu Liena sighed with a smile.
“All that knowledge, wasted.”
“All right,” Bibi Dong said calmly.
“Although Chrysanthemum Douluo knows about the immortal herbs, we really can’t move for now.
But—”
“But what?” Hu Liena asked.
“There’s more than one immortal herb,” Bibi Dong continued.
“Xu Fan can’t use them all.
Given his personality, he probably won’t give the rest to his women—such as Dugu Yan or Zhu Zhuqing.”
Hu Liena’s eyes lit up.
“Teacher, then you’ll definitely get one too!”
Bang!
“Ow…” Hu Liena clutched her head.
“Don’t talk nonsense,” Bibi Dong said, turning away.
A faint blush flashed across her beautiful face.
“Dong’er…”
That intimate way of addressing her had only ever come from Yu Xiaogang back then.
…
Heaven Dou City.
Ye Lingling and Ye Qingli stared blankly at Dugu Yan.
“Yanyan, your family is about to strike it rich!
You actually have such incredible herbs!” Ye Lingling tugged at her arm.
Dugu Yan was completely stunned.
After all this time, the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye—and the immortal herbs—belonged to her family?
“Good heavens… so that’s the place,” Dugu Yan murmured as she stood up.
“No wonder it’s called the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye.
The name fits perfectly.”
“It’s pretty amazing the first time you see it,” Ye Lingling said.
Your grandfather discovered it himself.”
“Then you should head to Sunset Forest as soon as possible,” Ye Lingling urged.
“Otherwise, it won’t be good if your grandfather clashes with Xu Fan.”
Dugu Yan looked at her teasingly.
“What, are you worried about your future man?”
Ye Lingling’s face instantly turned red as she pinched Dugu Yan.
“Yanyan~~!”
“Alright, alright, I’ll stop teasing you.
We’re sisters,” Dugu Yan said, packing her things.
“My grandfather recently went there anyway, and I really do need to leave soon.
Otherwise, I’ll be poisoned by his toxins again, and that would be troublesome.”
She nodded firmly.
“Be careful on your journey,” Ye Lingling said.
“Don’t worry,” Dugu Yan replied with a grin.
“I’ll bring your man back safely.”
…
Elsewhere.
“So many immortal herbs… and they’re actually in Sunset Forest?
Dugu Bo really has the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.”
Ning Rongrong subconsciously swallowed, a blush spreading across her delicate face.
An incredibly tempting thought surfaced in her mind.
If only… if only Grandpa Sword and Grandpa Bone could just take the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well home…
The next moment, she shook her head violently and lightly slapped her cheek.
“Ning Rongrong, what are you thinking?
No, no!”
“We can’t let the relationship sour.
That’s the future… uh, maybe even family.”
At that thought, her face grew even redder, her eyes flickering.
If taking it by force wasn’t an option, then… could another method work?
“Find Xu Fan!” Ning Rongrong clapped her hands, a bright smile blooming on her face.
“The immortal herbs—and other things—we can talk about them together!”
She felt as though her Nine-Jeweled Glazed Pagoda was already within reach.
[Both Grandpa Dugu and Yan Yan are currently poisoned.
The poison originates from their martial souls—Grandpa Dugu’s Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor and Yan Yan’s Jade Phosphor Serpent.
The stronger the martial soul, the stronger the poison.]
[Yan Yan isn’t in too bad a condition right now, but her hair, eyes, and nails have already taken on the color of the toxin.
Grandpa Dugu, however, is in dire shape.
His martial soul is even stronger, and he’s a Title Douluo—but he’s essentially terminally ill.]
[If nothing changes, Grandpa Dugu probably doesn’t have many years left.]
[This kind of illness caused by a martial soul is actually easy to treat.
The problem is whether Grandpa Dugu will believe me.
It would be much easier if I could meet Yan Yan first—she’s far more reasonable than her grandfather.]
[At present, I have four different ways to save Grandpa Dugu.]
