Qian Renxue's Shock!

Li Tianlan laughed as well. Qian Renxue was still quite immature, with the mindset of a child.

He immediately praised her, "Impressive, truly impressive! What are you planning to do next? Do you want the two of us to help you?"

"Um..."

Qian Renxue blinked, looking somewhat embarrassed. In truth, she had left in quite a hurry.

At the same time, she had been a little too proud of herself. The Star Dou Great Forest was even larger and more complicated than she had imagined.

It had been fine when professional Soul Masters led the way before; it had looked simple enough. But when Qian Renxue came here herself, she finally realized just how complicated the Star Dou Great Forest was.

Before encountering Li Tianlan, she had wandered around for five days and completely lost her sense of direction.

The moment Li Tianlan saw Qian Renxue's expression, he knew what had happened.

He immediately asked with a smile, "What, did you get lost?"

"That's right!" Qian Renxue put away her Martial Soul awkwardly.

"Lost? Then don't worry. I'm a local guide," Bena said with a grin. "Miss, where are you planning to go?"

"There's no fixed destination. I just need to hunt for my fifth Soul Ring."

Qian Renxue sighed and grumbled unhappily, "But Soul Beasts are even harder to find than I imagined."

"Fifth Soul Ring!" Li Tianlan rubbed his chin and muttered, "Based on the attributes of the Angel Martial Soul, the most suitable one should be a Bright Falcon. It's incredibly fast, and like the Angel Martial Soul, it has the light attribute. Moreover, this kind of Soul Beast is, like the Titan Giant Ape, a king of the skies. A Thousand Year Soul Beast has combat strength comparable to a Ten Thousand Year Soul Beast."

"I didn't expect you to know so much?" Qian Renxue glanced at Li Tianlan in surprise.

The Bright Falcon was a type of Soul Beast that Spirit Hall had only identified after countless Titled Douluo carefully researched it. It was the Soul Beast most suitable for Qian Renxue's current Soul Ring.

At that moment, Bena suddenly said, "If it's a Bright Falcon, I think I know where to find one."

"Where?" Qian Renxue immediately turned around and looked at Bena excitedly. Seeing this, Bena said with a bitter smile, "I'd advise you to give up on that idea. That Bright Falcon is a Ten Thousand Year Soul Beast. Its strength is terrifying, and it's already close to the hundred-thousand-year level. By human Soul Master standards, it's at the Titled Douluo level. It's one of the forbidden overlords of the Star Dou Great Forest."

Titled Douluo!

Even Li Tianlan could not help frowning slightly when he heard of that level of combat strength.

The further Soul Masters advanced, the more exaggerated the gap in Soul Power became!

Take the simplest example!

A level 99 Limit Douluo could, without using any Soul Skills, simply use pure Soul Power to grind a level 95 into the ground!

Meanwhile, even if a level 91 Titled Douluo went all out, they could only hold on for a short while against a level 95 Titled Douluo!

The gap between a level 71 Soul Saint and a level 91 Titled Douluo was at least two or three times over!

And a level 71 Soul Saint, using nothing but pure Soul Power without even summoning their Martial Soul, could kill Soul King Javita in a single move!

That was the gap between Soul Masters!

It could be said that the difference between Qian Renxue's current combat strength and that of the Ten Thousand Year Bright Falcon was far greater than the difference between her and an ordinary person with no Soul Power at all.

The moment Qian Renxue heard about the Ten Thousand Year Bright Falcon, her face fell.

To hunt such a terrifying Soul Beast, they would need at least several Titled Douluo to suppress it bit by bit.

But where were they supposed to find any Titled Douluo here?

Just then, Xiao Yan suddenly spoke within the Spirit Ocean. "Kid, I know of a way that might be able to kill that Bright Falcon."

"Teacher, you have a way?"

Li Tianlan's tone held both surprise and delight.

He still trusted Xiao Yan.

Given Xiao Yan's character and status, if he said he had a way, then he definitely had one. He would never boast without reason.

"It's actually very simple. The essential tool for challenging an opponent above your level... poison!" Xiao Yan said with amusement in his voice. "There may not be much poison capable of affecting a Titled Douluo, but such poisons do exist! The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well lacks everything except extremely high-grade poisonous herbs."

Li Tianlan froze for a moment, then his mood immediately brightened.

He had nearly forgotten that in the original work, Tang San had used the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to directly refine the deadly item known as the King of Hell's Post.

Even Titled Douluo would be killed in an instant.

And would Xiao Yan, an Emperor-grade Alchemist, be inferior to a country bumpkin like Tang San? What a joke!

Xiao Yan continued, "There is a taboo in this world: only the person who kills a Soul Beast can obtain its Soul Ring. Therefore, the poison cannot be too strong, or it will directly poison the Bright Falcon to death. But it cannot be too weak either, or you won't be able to defeat it. In that case, refine a Poison Dragon Pill. Its toxicity is neither too strong nor too weak—just right."

"Poison Dragon Pill." Li Tianlan nodded slightly.

Just from the name, it was obvious this thing was not to be trifled with.

On the other side, Qian Renxue sighed and said to Li Tianlan, "If there's no other way, I'll have to go back and seek help. This Ten Thousand Year Bright Falcon is very important to me."

Just then, Li Tianlan said, "I think... I have a way!"

"Oh?" Qian Renxue looked at Li Tianlan in surprise.

This guy always managed to surprise her.

Could it be... that he could take on a Ten Thousand Year Bright Falcon alone?

That was impossible, wasn't it?

Qian Renxue shook her head slightly, finding the notion utterly absurd.

Yet Li Tianlan said, "Don't doubt me. My method is simple—poison!"

"Poison? You're thinking too simply!" Qian Renxue sighed. "The Bright Falcon clan is naturally highly resistant to toxins, and a Ten Thousand Year Bright Falcon's resistance is even greater. At that level, even deadly poison capable of killing a Titled Douluo might not have any effect on a Ten Thousand Year Bright Falcon."

"Don't worry. Mine will definitely work." Li Tianlan had great faith in Xiao Yan.

Qian Renxue looked at Li Tianlan, hesitation evident on her face as she slowly asked, "You... really have poison capable of bringing down a Ten Thousand Year Bright Falcon?"

"Of course!" Li Tianlan wore a confident expression.

Without offering any further explanation, he went to a safe location and directly set down the Alchemy Furnace.

The moment Qian Renxue saw the Alchemy Furnace, she was astonished once again.

The Demonic Silver Furnace!

An Alchemy Furnace forged from Deep Sea Demon Silver!

A masterpiece crafted by a divine smith!

On the Douluo Continent, its only owner was Poison Douluo—Dugu Bo.

It looked ordinary, yet it was worth a fortune—the finest Alchemy Furnace on the entire continent!

And this Alchemy Furnace had actually appeared in Li Tianlan's hands!

What did that mean?

This Li Tianlan before her definitely had a close relationship with Dugu Bo!

Either he was Poison Douluo's descendant, or he was Poison Douluo's disciple!

Otherwise, Poison Douluo would never have given him the Alchemy Furnace!

And as Poison Douluo's successor, could the poison he concocted possibly be weak?
