"Is that so? Then there's no need to rush. You're only Level 27 right now, after all, so we've still got plenty of time to look for Immortal Herbs!"
Although high-quality Soul Beast meat was easier to find, Yang Wuhui had read the Immortal Herb Codex and decided they should look for Immortal Herbs first.
As a member of the Breaking Clan, he had always believed that Immortal Herbs were more effective than Soul Beast meat!
More importantly, the Codex said that anyone who refined an Immortal Herb could greatly improve their cultivation talent!
He couldn't imagine how terrifying Yang Ziyuan's talent would become if it were enhanced by an Immortal Herb.
But Yang Ziyuan lost his composure as soon as he heard about Immortal Herbs.
The old man actually wanted to look for Immortal Herbs?
Going by the timeline, Dugu Bo had already taken over the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
With his strength as a Titled Douluo, the old man wouldn't be able to do anything about him.
After all, the old man didn't have a Soul Breaking Spear Martial Soul, and he couldn't take on a Titled Douluo while only a Soul Douluo!
At that thought, Yang Ziyuan couldn't help looking at Yang Wudi.
"Second Uncle, how strong are you now?"
"Me? I've spent all these years obsessed with refining medicine, so my Soul Power Level is only 77!"
"Level 77?"
When Yang Ziyuan heard that Yang Wudi was only Level 77, he froze.
Going by the timeline, Yang Wudi wouldn't reach Level 82 until more than ten years later.
Only then did Yang Ziyuan realize how obsessed he was with refining medicine.
No wonder Tang San had only needed to offer him a single Aromatic Silk Beauty to get him to join the Tang Sect in the original story!
"Nephew, why are you asking?"
At Yang Wudi's question, Yang Ziyuan hesitated.
Should he tell them about the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well?
If he did, they still wouldn't be able to beat Dugu Bo.
If he didn't, they'd be wasting their energy searching blindly.
"Ziyuan, just tell us what's on your mind. Your second uncle and I won't hurt you. Besides, maybe we can even help you solve your problem."
"Uh, all right! Grandpa, Second Uncle, there's something I can't keep from you. I know where there are Immortal Herbs. But a Titled Douluo is guarding the place!"
"What? You know where the Immortal Herbs are?"
Hearing Yang Ziyuan's answer, Yang Wudi jumped to his feet in excitement.
He wanted to fly there at once and loot every last Immortal Herb!
But Yang Ziyuan's next words doused his excitement.
A Titled Douluo was guarding the place, and they weren't strong enough to take him on.
"That's right. The God of Destruction told me."
He'd already attributed his knowledge of the Immortal Herbs' location to the God of Destruction.
After all, there was no way the old men would go and ask the God of Destruction themselves.
Meanwhile, the God of Destruction was playing chess with the Goddess of Life when he suddenly sneezed twice.
"Achoo! Achoo!"
"Destruction, have you caught a cold?"
"That can't be right. Can gods get sick? It's probably that petty Asura cursing me!"
"Ziyuan, did the God of Destruction tell you how strong that Titled Douluo is?"
Unable to let the matter go, Yang Wudi pressed him for an answer.
"His strength? He should be Level 91!"
"Level 91? Oh, that's not too bad! Once I break through to Soul Douluo, I might still be able to deal with him!"
But the more he thought about it, the more something seemed off. Then he suddenly realized what it was.
"Ziyuan, that Titled Douluo wouldn't happen to be Dugu Bo, would he?"
"Dugu Bo? I don't know. I only know that the God of Destruction said the Titled Douluo's Martial Soul was the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor!"
"It really is him!"
After hearing about the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor, Yang Wudi was almost certain that the Titled Douluo was Dugu Bo.
"Then that's great! Even though Dugu Bo is a Soul Saint, I might still be able to fight him!"
"Uh?"
Yang Ziyuan stared at Yang Wudi, dumbfounded.
Was he serious? The man was a Titled Douluo, after all!
"Nephew, you don't know the whole story. Dugu Bo is strong in group battles, but in a one-on-one fight, he's said to be the weakest Titled Douluo! With the Soul Skills that come with my Soul Breaking Spear, I can definitely take him on!"
Seeing Yang Wudi so fired up, Yang Ziyuan could only smile wryly.
"Then, Second Uncle, how are you planning to make your move?"
Yang Wudi thought it over before giving him a plan he thought might work.
A few years ago, Dugu Bo's son had been poisoned and come to the Breaking Clan for medicine. They hadn't been able to save him, but Dugu Bo had unexpectedly promised that if they ever developed an antidote, they could come find him in Sunset Forest. Once he received the antidote, he would owe the Breaking Clan a favor. So I plan to use that as an excuse to get close to him. If I can catch him by surprise, I'm confident I can kill him!
"Second Uncle, never mind whether your plan will work. Even if it does, can you handle a Titled Douluo's desperate last stand?"
"Uh, well..."
At Yang Ziyuan's question, Yang Wudi fell silent.
To be honest, even dealing with a badly wounded Titled Douluo would be extremely difficult for the two of them.
What's more, his plan also relied on Yang Ziyuan's domain.
If Dugu Bo really fought to the death, there was a good chance he could take them down with him!
At the very least, he could take out the weakest person there: Yang Ziyuan!
That was an outcome he couldn't accept!
No Immortal Herb was worth more than Yang Ziyuan!
"Then what do you think we should do?"
Yang Ziyuan thought for a moment.
A direct confrontation was out of the question.
It seemed he could only approach things from that angle.
"I have a way to get the Immortal Herbs. I might even be able to make Dugu Bo one of our own!"
"What way?"
"It's a secret!"
Seeing that Yang Ziyuan didn't want to say, Yang Wudi thought for a moment and replied, "Nephew, since you've already got a plan, we won't pry. But you have to promise your second uncle that if there are any Immortal Herbs left over afterward, you won't forget me!"
Yang Ziyuan wasn't about to refuse.
"No problem!"
"Good. In that case, we'll go visit that Poison Douluo in three days!"
After Yang Ziyuan agreed, Yang Wudi breathed a sigh of relief.
After that, they discussed the Breaking Clan's development a little longer before going their separate ways.
Ten days later, Heaven Dou City.
"Grandpa, Heaven Dou City looks even more prosperous than Vast Sea City!"
Yang Ziyuan leaned out of the carriage, looking around.
Heaven Dou City was thousands of miles from Vast Sea City. Along the way, he'd seen plenty of scenery.
But compared with Heaven Dou City, the other cities seemed rather shabby.
"Of course. Heaven Dou City is the imperial capital of the Tiandou Empire, after all. Naturally, it's more prosperous than any other city."
Then Yang Wuhui changed the subject and asked, "Ziyuan, will your plan really work? That Poison Douluo has a bad temper. If you anger him, it'll be hard for the two of us to protect you!"
What Yang Wuhui hadn't expected was that the Poison Douluo, who was famous for using poison, would be suffering from his own poison.
He found it hard to believe.
But Dugu Bo's son had died, which meant it had to be true.
