Changes in Sunset Forest

"I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it."

To my shame, I, as the elder, am being taken care of by the younger generation. You flatter me, senior.

Dugu Bo is seventy-nine years old this year, a few years older than Quan Li, which is why he adopts a respectful posture.

Of course, given his advanced age, he didn't deserve such politeness from the arrogant Dugu Bo.

The subtle, dangerous aura emanating from Quan Li was the fundamental reason why Dugu Bo respected Quan Li.

The Quan Family had been waiting for Dugu Bo for a long time, and now that they had met him, they naturally wanted to get to know him properly.

With Quan Yi's help, the two sides had a friendly exchange.

The Quan Family's warm welcome and sincere treatment of Dugu Bo made Dugu Bo feel extremely favorably toward the Quan Family.

Before parting ways, at Quan Li's suggestion, Dugu Bo was "forced" to start addressing each other as brothers.

Quan Li called Dugu Bo" younger brother," Dugu Bo called Quan Li "elder brother."

Although this wasn't a sworn brotherhood where they would live and die together, Quan Li was even happier than Quan Yi had expected.

The higher you climb, the colder it gets. Given Quan Li's cultivation level and age, it will be very difficult for him to find friends of the same generation.

Quan Li has family, but no one he can call a friend.

The appearance of Dugu Bo can just make up for this.

Before parting, Quan Li also presented Dugu Bo with some of his own finest wine.

This action is enough to prove Quan Li's satisfaction with Dugu Bo.

Dugu Bo accepted the gift out of enthusiasm.

At this moment, the feeling that the Quan Family gave him was something he hadn't experienced in a long time.

The fact that a powerful older brother had suddenly appeared above Dugu Bo, who was all alone, made him feel somewhat uncomfortable.

But he didn't dislike this feeling.

His gaze slowly shifted to Quan Ni, and he replied, "As a return gift, once Xiao Ni awakens her Martial Soul, she can consume a suitable Immortal Herb."

The Quan Family was shocked by Dugu Bo's generosity; the preciousness of the Immortal Herb far surpassed that of Quan Li's fine wine.

However, Dugu Bo believed that the feelings involved in the two relationships were equal, and if he did not accept the offer, it would mean that he did not consider him a brother.

Left with no other choice, Quan Li accepted Dugu Bo's offer on behalf of the Quan Family.

This incident fundamentally changed the relationship between Dugu Bo and the Quan Family.

From distant collaborators to friends of the Quan Family.

This is of great significance to both sides.

At night, Quan Yi transforms into Dark Gold Yang Dragon and personally escorts his family members who need to return to Vast Sea City.

At Quan Yi's speed, traveling between the two places wouldn't take much time.

Quan Li, Quan Yue, Yun Qiong were required to guard their posts, while Su Ling'er and Quan Ni chose to stay in Heaven Dou City to continue watching the Tournament.

Although the Soul Master Competition might seem a bit childish to the other members, it was a good opportunity for Quan Ni to broaden her horizons and gain some experience.

Compared to knowledge from books, physical objects leave a deeper impression.

After traveling nearly 3,000 kilometers round trip, Quan Yi delivered his family to Vast Sea City in less than two hours and then returned to Heaven Dou City.

Upon returning, Quan Yi did not stay in Heaven Dou City, but instead took Huo Wu to the Ice and Fire Spring.

From a bird's-eye view, the heart of Sunset Forest has undergone a dramatic transformation.

The once dense forest is now even more lush than it was a year ago.

In temperate climates, forests that should be sparse become as dense as tropical jungles.

The reason for this change is that the trees within a certain range have grown wildly as if they were on steroids, and their thick trunks have taken up the originally spacious area.

The culprit behind this phenomenon is Quan Yi.

The Element Thunder Tribulation that lasted for several months has raised the elemental concentration in the Forest Center to a new level.

This caused a dramatic transformation in the surrounding environment, turning this area into an excellent place for cultivation. Whether it's Soul Beast or Spirit Master, they will benefit greatly from cultivating here.

However, due to the aura of the Lightning Tribulation, the Soul Beast dwelling in the inner circle fled to the outer circle, making this precious land extremely quiet.

Moreover, the migration of inner-circle Soul Beast will further trigger the migration of outer-circle Soul Beast to even further outwards.

This makes the Sunset Forest significantly more dangerous than it was a year ago.

Most human Spirit Master are also unable to venture deep into the heart of Sunset Forest, which has gradually isolated this area from the outside world.

Of course, this invisible isolation zone will not only not bother Quan Yi, but will also protect the Ice and Fire Spring from the intrusion of others.

Today, Quan Yi has returned to this place for this very reason.

Today, he will pick up the hammer again after a long absence and begin forging.

The bright moonlight shone on the Sea of Trees, revealing an eerie green glow.

Quan Yi, suspended high in the air, took a deep breath.

"Such a rich, fresh plant fragrance; this is indeed the best place to appreciate the Wood Element."

In the past, Quan Yi unconsciously ignored the Wood Element that he didn't need, but the Wood Element content in this area far exceeded that of other regions.

It is a treasure trove for the cultivation of Plant-type Spirit Master, as it is Wood Element.

"Husband, the color of this Poisonous Barrier seems to have become even more bizarre."

Huo Wu pointed to the Poisonous Barrier on the ground that enveloped the Ice and Fire Spring, and Quan Yi noticed this as well.

The Poisonous Barrier, which was originally slightly greenish, displayed a colorful halo under the moonlight.

However, these intertwined colors don't resemble a beautiful rainbow.

Instead, it gives people a sense of eeriness and danger.

Quan Yi's lips twitched slightly, and he sighed softly, "This Poisonous Barrier was already extremely dangerous, but now that Poisonous Barrier has been mixed with various Elemental Force, it seems to have become even more dangerous than before."

Dugu Bo's Poisonous Barrier, tainted by Elemental Force, gradually transformed into an even more dangerous Toxin.

"It seems we'll have to reduce the amount of forging here in the future."

Quan Yi raised a barrier of flames and rushed into the Poisonous Barrier that shimmered with an eerie light. Although the Toxin had become stronger, it was still no match for the Ultimate Fire.

Quan Yi landed on the high-density stone platform where he had forged Diamond Fine Gold, and took out his own metal Forging Table.

As Quan Yi gently stroked the surface of the Forging Table, a sense of intimacy welled up Quan Yi his mind.

Quan Yi poured his Soul Power into it, and a seven-colored halo suddenly appeared on the dark metal surface.

This is the Forging Table that Quan Yi used to create from metal that had undergone the baptism of Seven-Colored Thunder Tribulation.

Its strength is more than enough to withstand Quan Yi's power before he broke through to the Soul Douluo level. Although his power increased after the breakthrough, it was still sufficient.

Because the forged metal is basically unable to withstand Quan Yi's growing power.

Under Huo Wu's watchful gaze, Quan Yi took out a piece of Dark Iron the size of two fists from the Blazing Sun Heart.

Immediately afterwards, Quan Yi took off his shirt, and the next moment, a golden and red halo rapidly spread from the back of Quan Yi's hand.

The entire arm, shoulders, chest, and upper back were covered by Dark Gold Sun Dragon Claw.

If you look closely, you can see that between the striking dark gold and vermilion colors, there is a subtle luster that does not originally have any color.

Quan Yi placed his right hand on the Dark Iron, the Fire Pattern on his arm glowing slightly, and the entire black Dark Iron turned red at the same time.

"Clang!"

Quan Yi lowered his left hand, and a Seven-Colored Mystic Iron Forging Hammer appeared in his hand without anyone noticing.

The hammer fell on the red-hot Dark Iron, and in an instant, a black light suddenly rose up.

A single hammer Spirit Imbuing!
