Sure enough, it was the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes

Li Yuan, who had been too exhausted to move, suddenly sat up excitedly after hearing Juhua's words, startling Juhua, who had been lying on top of him.

"That must be the place. This Orange Cat probably entered the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes and discovered its secrets, which was why Dugu Bo hunted it down."

If things had followed the trajectory of the original world, the Orange Cat would most likely have been killed by Dugu Bo. That was why it never appeared again later in the story.

But because he was here, the Orange Cat's fate had changed. He had saved it, so the plot going forward might change as well.

So the question was, should he make a trip to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes?

The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes were an extremely famous blessed land mentioned in the original Douluo novel. Countless Heavenly Treasures grew within it. In a sense, this place was the Protagonist Group's most important cheat.

If they had not gained enough benefits from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes, the Shrek Seven Devils from the original novel would never have been able to become gods. From that perspective, the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes could be said to have indirectly created seven deities!

That was no small matter. If possible, Li Yuan was more than willing to visit the legendary Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes and see whether he could obtain some Heavenly Treasures for himself.

Moreover, aside from the Heavenly Treasures within it, the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes itself had an impressive origin.

It was said that this place had formed after the Water Dragon King and Fire Dragon King among the Nine Dragon Kings had fallen at the same time. The corpses left behind by those two Dragon Kings were buried ten thousand zhang beneath the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes.

With Li Yuan's current strength, trying to become a Tomb Raider and profit from the corpses of the two Dragon Kings would be nothing but courting death.

But if Li Yuan became powerful enough in the future, perhaps he really could become a Tomb Raider once and rob the graves of the two Dragon Kings.

In short, this place was absolutely extremely useful to Li Yuan, who desperately wanted to improve his strength.

"What's gotten into you, Little Slave? Why are you jumping around like that?"

Just as Li Yuan was considering how to gain enough benefits from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes, Juhua cried out in displeasure.

It had been resting just now, only for that Little Slave to suddenly lose his mind and scare it half to death.

"Hehe, Tiger King, I was a little too excited just now."

Li Yuan scratched his head and put on an apologetic expression. "Tiger King, what exactly is that good place you mentioned?"

"From what you said, that place is connected to the old man who was chasing you?"

"That place?" At that, Juhua lay back down, speaking with a trace of gloom. "It's a very strange valley. There's a spring in the valley, and it's extremely miraculous."

"The entire spring is oval-shaped. The water is milky white on one side and vermilion red on the other. They share the same pool, yet remain distinctly separate, never mixing together."

"I don't know how that place came to be. Many years ago, I happened to discover it and nearly died there."

"After barely surviving, I discovered that many Heavenly Treasures grew around that spring, including a Void Grass that had yet to mature."

"To me, Void Grass is an extremely useful Heavenly Treasure. It can evolve the essence of my life, allowing me to pass the Heavenly Tribulation and become a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast."

"So, all these years, I've been staying near that valley, waiting for the Void Grass to mature."

"But just when the Void Grass was about to mature and I was about to become a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, that damned old man suddenly appeared."

"That old man was overbearing and unreasonable. He said that place was fated to be his and wanted to claim it. I got furious and immediately went up to confront him."

"But I never expected that old man to play dirty. He used poison against me..."

At this point, Juhua's mood visibly sank. Its ears drooped, and its tail swished back and forth as it looked utterly dejected.

All right, although Juhua did not continue explaining, Li Yuan could already roughly imagine what had happened.

Among the soul beasts of the Sunset Great Forest, Juhua definitely counted as an exceptionally powerful existence.

But it was not a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, nor was it the sort of powerful soul beast skilled at combat. From some of the details just now, Li Yuan had already realized that this Netherlight Orange Cat was likely best at speed. Its own combat power still had a certain gap compared to a Titled Douluo.

What was more, Dugu Bo was a Titled Douluo skilled in poison. Though his frontal combat ability might not have been particularly strong, if one was careless, it was indeed easy to be tricked by him.

Juhua had probably been injured by Dugu Bo due to carelessness, then fled in panic and been found by him.

However, judging from Juhua's appearance, it clearly had no intention of letting the matter rest.

Well, Li Yuan could understand Juhua's feelings. It had guarded that place for so many years and had finally been on the verge of success, just about to become a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.

Then Dugu Bo, that old bastard, had suddenly jumped out and interfered. If it had been Li Yuan, he would not have been able to endure it either. He would have had to strike back!

The problem was that even if Li Yuan and Juhua joined forces, one man and one beast were still no match for Dugu Bo, the Poison Douluo!

Therefore, revenge was probably impossible in the short term. Unless Juhua could become a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, there was at least some possibility.

Thinking this, Li Yuan made up his mind. They should put revenge aside for now. He and Juhua should first find a way to sneak into the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes and obtain its benefits. That was the proper course of action.

So, without much hesitation, Li Yuan agreed to Juhua's plan. Before that, however, he needed to increase his combat strength as much as possible.

Then he would join forces with Juhua and steal Dugu Bo's home.

"Tiger King, what do you plan to do?"

"What else can I do? I can't beat that old man for now, but we can steal the matured Void Grass first. Once I become a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, I'll deal with that damned old man!"

"Well, Little Slave, do you want to come with me? All I need is that Void Grass. You can take the rest of the Heavenly Treasures however you like."

Juhua dangled a tempting offer before Li Yuan.

Hearing that, Li Yuan felt reassured and hurriedly said, "All right, it's settled then. But before that, you need to help me with something."
