"Brother Lan, won't this be discovered?"
"1 Luck Value maintains dual cultivation for five minutes, just enough to establish an alibi."
"Alright, what do I need to do?"
"Log out. Let me take over!"
Huo Yuhao nodded, and his eyes dimmed.
Then a deep-blue glow lit up. He rose to his feet, his features shifting until he became a different handsome young man with an evil charm.
He took a step back.
Yet a "Huo Yuhao" remained in place, still engaged in dual cultivation.
-1 Luck Value
At the right moment, Electrolux released his aura. Dull gray mingled with golden light, a perfect fusion of the undead and light elements.
He looked thoroughly mysterious.
Whoosh—
Zhuge Lan teleported above Shrek Academy.
-500 Luck Value
Mental Power surged forth, supporting him in midair. Electrolux no longer concealed himself, and the pressure unique to a god-level remnant soul swept across the land.
"Who goes there?!"
"How dare you!"
"You've got some nerve!"
Furious shouts rang out as several figures flew up from Sea God Island, each with nine Soul Rings revolving around them.
Not a single one was below the rank of Titled Douluo.
Before Electrolux's aura, which was at least half-god level, they could not even maintain their flight Soul Skills.
One familiar face after another appeared.
Xuan Zi, Yan Shaozhe, Xian Lin'er, Qian Duoduo.
Roar—
The Bright Holy Dragon appeared once more. Mu En slowly rose into the air, terrifying power concealed within his aged body.
In terms of pressure, he could vaguely contend with Electrolux.
—But only vaguely. He was still ultimately half a step weaker.
"Your Excellency has visited Shrek late at night. May I ask what brings you here?" Mu En asked gravely.
Zhuge Lan said nothing.
He took out a fiery red stone and casually tossed it aside. It exploded into black-red fireworks.
Yan Shaozhe's brow twitched at the sight!
But he did not dare speak rashly, instead sending Mu En a voice transmission.
"This is Xiaotao's Soul Power signal flare. Where did Your Excellency get it?" Mu En asked.
"Didn't Little Yuhao say she wanted to meet me?" Zhuge Lan tilted his head. "And you people seem quite interested in my Holy Fire Meow Meow Sect. This is a good chance to meet together."
The Shrek side was utterly shaken!
What the hell?
This Sacred Fire Cult that had suddenly appeared actually had a half-god presiding over it?
That was absurd beyond belief!
Wait!
"Your Excellency, are you the Brother Lan Little Yuhao mentioned?" Mu En asked in confusion. "But Little Yuhao said you were merely a deacon."
No way!
A deacon was already a half-god?
What kind of heaven-defying organization was this?!
"Oh, I just made up a position on the spot." Zhuge Lan said casually. "Holy Fire Meow Meow Sect was also a name I came up with on the spot. I just didn't expect Little Yuhao to be so capable that he'd come to Shrek Academy to poach people."
Good lord!
A name made up on the spot?
Mu En's Life Extension, Ice and Fire Opportunity!
Then everything made sense.
No wonder even the ancient Shrek Academy had been unable to find the slightest information on the Holy Fire Meow Meow Sect.
So it had been the whim of a half-god.
But no one dared slight him. This was a half-god!
Even if Mu En fought to the death, he could only barely wield half-god-level combat power, and it could not last long.
They could not afford to provoke him.
"Your Excellency, how about coming down to rest?" Mu En suggested. "We can also summon Little Yuhao for a chat."
"I went to see him. His cultivation speed is decent, but his Yi Jin Jing progress is too slow." Zhuge Lan frowned slightly. "Your Shrek is far too stingy. You only gave him some century-old Vajra Arhat Fruit? Do you really think my cultivation technique is so easy to obtain?"
Electrolux cooperatively intensified his pressure, and the atmosphere instantly grew tense.
"This was this old man's decision," Mu En explained. "This old man has already prepared thousand-year, even ten-thousand-year resources for Little Yuhao. But he has consumed rather too many medicines recently, so I thought he should digest them first."
"No need." Zhuge Lan waved a hand. "The Yi Jin Jing is meant to transform the meridians and cleanse the marrow. Just pour resources into him directly."
—As for pill toxins and medicinal toxins, Luck Value could clear them all with one click.
"I see. This old man was shortsighted." Mu En nodded. "Later, this old man will give Little Yuhao the resources for his cultivation."
Zhuge Lan nodded, staring intently at Mu En.
It was quite rude.
But Mu En was not offended in the slightest, responding with a smile.
The one with the bigger fist was the boss. Looking at him would not cost him a piece of flesh.
"Old man, you're about to die." Zhuge Lan stroked his chin. "Want to make a deal? Go find a place for me. If you find it, I'll extend your life by five years."
The words shocked everyone present!
The Titled Douluo of Shrek Academy all became excited.
"Can you really extend one's lifespan?" Xuan Zi blurted out. "If that is truly—"
Zhuge Lan frowned.
Electrolux condensed his soul power and struck Xuan Zi on the head, forcing him to stagger half a step back.
"What status do you have? You can't even control your Martial Soul, yet you think you're worthy of speaking to me?" Zhuge Lan said displeasedly.
He was utterly disdainful.
Yet no one dared get angry. They even found it perfectly reasonable.
—A Rank 98 and a half-god were worlds apart.
—Not to mention that this half-god could extend Elder Mu's life!
And...
Xuan Zi sent a voice transmission: 'Don't move! My urge to eat is gone!'
—The energy essence exchanged for 1,000 Luck Value would handle Xuan Zi's food intake for half a day.
They did not understand the principles behind it.
They only saw that with a single glance from afar, Zhuge Lan could suppress the flaw in Xuan Zi's Martial Soul.
Such methods were unfathomable. Worthy indeed of a half-god!
"Please calm your anger, Your Excellency. Those below are merely concerned for this old man," Mu En said, trying to ease the situation. "May I ask what place Your Excellency seeks?"
"The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. Have you heard of it?"
Most present wore confused expressions.
Only Mu En and Xuan Zi's expressions changed slightly.
He was actually after that treasured land?
Unfortunately...
Mu En said helplessly, "This old man has only seen the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well in ancient records. I cannot even confirm whether it exists. Over the past ten thousand years, generations of people have searched across the continent, yet found no trace of it."
Zhuge Lan naturally knew this.
After Tang San ascended, the Tang Sect ultimate skill he left behind was incomplete. He had not told anyone about the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, which he could not take with him.
In this era, only Da Ming and Er Ming, who had been resurrected and descended to the mortal world, likely knew its location. They used it to fabricate Wang Dong's "innate deficiency," creating a trial for their beloved to retrieve the immortal herb, Lovesick Heartbreak Red.
Tang San truly knew how to make the most of everything.
But this did not trouble Zhuge Lan. One hundred Luck Value was enough to obtain its location.
Still, there might be dogs watching from above, so it was best to have a process.
He had already prepared for this—
"The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was discovered ten thousand years ago by the Poison Douluo, Dugu Bo. It lies in the heart of Sunset Forest, concealed by a Jade Phosphor Serpent Poison Barrier."
"Follow these clues and investigate. Wherever Soul Beasts are scarcest and the poisonous miasma is most dangerous, that is where the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well lies."
"Do not touch the immortal herbs inside recklessly. None of them can allow you to break through to Rank 99. That requires a divine inheritance."
"Let Little Yuhao distribute them when the time comes."
"I will first extend your life by ten years. You will owe me three conditions. Finding it counts as the first; if you cannot, I will act myself."
"What do you say?"
Mu En considered it briefly.
He felt there was no issue.
"Agreed," he replied. "With this information, this old man will personally search the area. How much time do we have?"
"When Little Yuhao obtains his second Soul Ring," Zhuge Lan said. "I have arranged some measures. His opportunity lies within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well."
"When the time comes, this old man will accompany him to protect him. I guarantee I will not take a single thing," Mu En said tentatively.
—If Shrek could find this treasured land, it would truly become invincible across the continent!
If it were Tang San, he would certainly keep it hidden.
Zhuge Lan did not care. After all, immortal herbs could only be harvested once every ten thousand years.
"Fine." Zhuge Lan nodded. "I finally found someone to inherit my mantle. You people had better watch over him carefully. If anything goes wrong, I'll hold you accountable."
He glanced below, impatience between his brows.
"That Ma Xiaotao is taking far too long."
"Her Martial Soul flaw is the same as that brothel brat's back then. Little Yuhao's Extreme Ice can eliminate the evil fire in the future."
"Consuming the fiery gel of an Infernal Delicate Apricot can promote Martial Soul Evolution. If she takes the immortal herb Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower, she can go even further."
"They are all within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. Let Little Yuhao decide how to distribute them then."
"Pass that message on for me. That's all."
Whoosh—
Zhuge Lan vanished, leaving behind an emerald-green droplet. Within it was the pattern of an ancient tree. The dense life aura it emitted made the many Titled Douluo present shudder with renewed vigor even from far away!
A treasure!
