Three days later.

Luo Ling brought Chrysanthemum Douluo and Bibi Dong to Sunset Forest.

"Xiao Ling, are you sure there are Immortal Herbs in Sunset Forest?" Bibi Dong was still somewhat doubtful.

Sunset Forest was one of the Heaven Dou Empire's famous Soul Beast Gathering Places, but no one had ever said there were Immortal Herbs inside.

"Teacher, don't worry!" Luo Ling answered with absolute confidence.

He recalled the descriptions of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well from the original story.

The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was both a volcano and an iceberg, guarded outside by the Blue Scale Seven Absolute Flower.

Thinking of this, Luo Ling immediately said to Bibi Dong beside him:

"Teacher, please look for a place in Sunset Forest where there's a highly poisonous mist."

"Poison?" Bibi Dong paused, then looked at Chrysanthemum Douluo beside her.

Chrysanthemum Douluo nodded, and his figure instantly vanished from where he stood.

Bibi Dong did not remain idle either. She scooped Luo Ling up and flew into the sky.

Feeling the softness and fragrance of Bibi Dong's body, Luo Ling's thoughts began to wander.

She really has a great figure... he muttered inwardly, though his face remained calm.

As Bibi Dong flew, her cheeks flushed faintly as she glanced at Luo Ling from the corner of her eye.

Luo Ling was ten years old now. He was already nearly as tall as Bibi Dong and could be considered a young man.

Ever since giving birth to Qian Renxue, this was the first time Bibi Dong had been so close to a man.

She could not help feeling a little awkward.

The two maintained a strange silence. Two hours later—

Luo Ling spotted a cliff shrouded in dense mist.

The area around the cliff was completely barren, the ground dark and black, with quite a few scattered bones lying on it.

"Teacher, stop!" Luo Ling's eyes lit up.

"What is it, Xiao Ling?" Bibi Dong stopped at once and lowered her head, her cheeks slightly warm.

Luo Ling pointed at the cliff ahead. "Teacher, look over there."

Bibi Dong followed the direction of his finger. Thick mist blanketed the cliff.

"Teacher, that place is covered in mist, and there isn't the slightest sign of life on the ground. Why do you think that is?"

Hearing this, Bibi Dong stared at the mist ahead for a long while and even extended her Soul Power to examine it.

The moment her Soul Power touched the mist, Bibi Dong's gaze sharpened.

"It's poisonous!"

"That's right!" Luo Ling nodded.

The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was guarded by the Blue Scale Seven Absolute Flower. Its potent poison made it impossible for ordinary plants and Soul Beasts to survive nearby. This place perfectly matched that description.

"You think the Immortal Herbs are here?" Bibi Dong understood what Luo Ling meant.

"Whether they are or not, won't we know once we go in?"

"But this place is highly poisonous." Bibi Dong frowned. She had sensed it just now—this poison was far from ordinary.

Even a Titled Douluo would likely not dare enter easily unless they specialized in poison.

"Teacher, this little bit of poison can't stop me." Luo Ling smiled faintly, summoning the Raven Shadow Puppet and entering a Martial Soul Fusion state.

"You have a way?" Bibi Dong was puzzled.

"Have you forgotten my First Soul Skill, Phantom Stealth?"

"Isn't that an invisibility Soul Skill?"

Luo Ling froze for a moment before finally realizing.

He had never told Bibi Dong about Phantom Stealth's other effects.

This skill leaned more toward survival and concealment, and he rarely used it during sparring.

So, all these years, he had never mentioned it to anyone else.

Scratching his head, Luo Ling explained helplessly:

"I forgot to tell you, Teacher."

"My Phantom Stealth is more than just invisibility. It also grants immunity to physical attacks and physical collisions."

"What?" Bibi Dong was startled.

"Also, when I'm in a Martial Soul Fusion state, its effects become even stronger, allowing me to enter a Void state."

"It makes me immune to all attacks," Luo Ling continued.

"An invincibility effect?" Bibi Dong no longer knew what to say.

"More or less." Luo Ling nodded. "So as long as I use Phantom Stealth after fusion, I can go in without a scratch."

"You brat, just how many things are there that I don't know about?" Bibi Dong came back to her senses, glared at Luo Ling, and reached out to pinch his cheek.

"Probably... none left." Luo Ling struggled as he answered.

"Probably?" Bibi Dong's voice rose slightly as she put more force into pinching his cheek.

"Really, there's nothing else!" Luo Ling gave up resisting.

"Hmph!" Bibi Dong released him unhappily, but did not press the matter further.

"Teacher, shall we go in now? You should be able to pass through this Poison Mist, right?" Luo Ling asked with a smile.

"How could such a little Poison Mist possibly stop me?" Bibi Dong said disdainfully.

The two headed toward the mist ahead, and Luo Ling's figure gradually disappeared.

Feeling Luo Ling vanish, Bibi Dong suddenly felt afraid, and her expression tensed.

"Xiao Ling, are you still there?"

"I'm here." Luo Ling's voice sounded beside Bibi Dong's ear.

Hearing his voice, Bibi Dong sighed in relief before saying, "There may be danger here. Don't stray too far from me!"

Within the mist, Luo Ling looked at Bibi Dong's worried expression, and his gaze softened. He was in a Void state now; nothing could hurt him.

But Bibi Dong's concern was genuine.

What a foolish woman. Luo Ling quietly watched Bibi Dong.

If a woman like her fell in love with someone, she would surely do anything for the one she loved.

Unfortunately, Bibi Dong had met that scumbag Yu Xiaogang and ended up with Qian Xunji, a teacher unworthy of the title.

The two chatted back and forth within the mist and soon passed through it.

The moment Bibi Dong stepped out of the mist, an aura of intertwined extreme cold and extreme heat swept over her.

Ahead lay a pool of red and blue hot spring water. Extreme cold and extreme heat met together, yet remained clearly separated.

The surrounding environment was also dyed by the interwoven colors of extreme cold and heat.

Around the Spring Eye grew countless gorgeous medicinal herbs, lush and flourishing.

Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well!

A brilliant light burst from Luo Ling's eyes. He had finally found this place.

Before Tang San did.

Tang San, the Immortal Herbs here are mine!

Luo Ling dispelled Phantom Stealth and revealed himself.

"Xiao Ling, are these the Immortal Herbs you mentioned?"

Bibi Dong's eyes were wide. She had not held much hope to begin with, yet the sight before her still shocked her.

"That's right! This is the place!" Luo Ling nodded.

"Who dares trespass into this old man's Herb Garden!"

As the two spoke, an angry shout rang out.

An old man with dark green hair flew out from behind a massive boulder not far away, glaring fiercely at the two intruders.

Dugu Bo's sinister gaze swept over Luo Ling before falling on Bibi Dong. His expression changed drastically at once.

"You... you're Bibi Dong, the Spirit Hall Pope?" Dugu Bo said in disbelief.

"You're that old poisoner Dugu Bo?" Bibi Dong frowned as she looked at the old man before her.
