"Is that so? Then there's no rush. Anyway, you're only at Soul Power Level 27 right now, so we have plenty of time to go look for Immortal Herbs!"
Although high-quality soul beast meat is easier to find, Yang Wuhui, having read the Immortal Herb Codex, still decided to search for those first.
Because, hailing from the Breaking Clan, he had always believed that Immortal Herbs were more effective than soul beast meat!
More importantly, he learned from the codex that those who refine Immortal Herbs can significantly improve their own cultivation talent!
He truly couldn't imagine what terrifying heights Yang Ziyuan would reach if he were to receive such an enhancement on top of his existing talent.
However, Yang Ziyuan couldn't stay calm upon hearing about Immortal Herbs.
The old man actually wanted to go find Immortal Herbs?
According to the timeline, the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well had long since been occupied by Dugu Bo.
With his strength as a Title Douluo, the old man wouldn't be able to do anything to him.
After all, the old man didn't possess the Soul Breaking Spear martial soul, nor could he defy the odds and defeat a Title Douluo while only at the Soul Douluo level!
Thinking of this, Yang Ziyuan couldn't help but look at Yang Wudi.
"Second Uncle, what is your current strength?"
"Me? These past few years, I've been obsessed with medicine refining, so my Soul Power Level is only at 77!"
"Level 77?"
Hearing that Yang Wudi was only at level 77, Yang Ziyuan was instantly stunned.
According to the timeline, he wouldn't reach level 82 for another dozen years or so.
From this, Yang Ziyuan realized just how obsessed the man was with alchemy.
No wonder, in the original story, Tang San was able to get him to join the Tang Sect just by taking out an Aromatic Silk Beauty!
"Nephew, why do you ask?"
Hearing Yang Wudi's inquiry, Yang Ziyuan felt conflicted.
Should he tell them about the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well or not?
If he told them, they wouldn't be able to beat Dugu Bo.
If he didn't tell them, wouldn't their blind searching be a waste of energy?
"Ziyuan, if you have something to say, just say it. Your Second Uncle and I wouldn't hurt you. Besides, perhaps we can help you solve your troubles."
"Uh, alright! Grandfather, Second Uncle, there is something I dare not hide. Actually, I know where there are Immortal Herbs. However, there is a Title Douluo guarding the place!"
"What? You know where the Immortal Herbs are?"
Hearing Yang Ziyuan's answer, Yang Wudi stood up excitedly.
He wished he could fly to that place immediately and loot all the Immortal Herbs!
However, Yang Ziyuan's next words poured a bucket of cold water on him.
That place was guarded by a Title Douluo, and with their current strength, they couldn't handle the opponent.
"That's right, the Destruction God King told me this."
As for how he knew the location of the Immortal Herbs, he had long since attributed it to the Destruction God King.
After all, it wasn't like the old man and the others could go and ask the Destruction God King themselves.
And at this moment, the Destruction God King, who was playing chess with the Goddess of Life, sneezed twice in a row.
"Achoo~ Achoo~"
"Destruction, do you have a cold?"
"That shouldn't be possible? Can gods get sick? It must be that petty Asura bad-mouthing me!"
"Ziyuan, did that Destruction God tell you the strength of that Title Douluo?"
Yang Wudi, still feeling unwilling to give up, couldn't help but ask.
"Strength? It should be level 91!"
"Level 91? Oh, that's not so bad! Once I break through to Soul Douluo, it's not impossible to take him down!"
However, the more he thought about it, the more something felt off, and he suddenly realized something.
"Ziyuan, that Title Douluo wouldn't happen to be Dugu Bo, would it?"
"Dugu Bo? I don't know. I only know that the Destruction God said that Title Douluo's martial soul is the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor!"
"It really is him!"
Upon hearing "Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor," Yang Wudi was almost one hundred percent certain that the Title Douluo was Dugu Bo.
"That's great! With Dugu Bo's combat power, even if I'm only a Soul Saint now, it's not like I can't fight him!"
"Uh?"
Hearing Yang Wudi's statement, Yang Ziyuan was completely dumbfounded.
Are you being serious, old man? The guy is a Title Douluo, after all!
"Nephew, you don't know the full story. While Dugu Bo's crowd-control ability is indeed formidable, when it comes to one-on-one combat~ he could be called the weakest Title Douluo! Relying on the innate soul skill of my Soul Breaking Spear, I am fully capable of going toe-to-toe with him!"
Seeing Yang Wudi in such high spirits, Yang Ziyuan could only offer a wry smile.
"Then, Second Uncle, how do you plan to make your move?"
Hearing this, Yang Wudi pondered for a moment before proposing a viable plan.
"A few years ago, Dugu Bo's son was afflicted with a potent poison and sought medicine from our Breaking Clan. Although we couldn't save him, Dugu Bo broke from his usual character and promised that if we ever developed an antidote, we could find him in the Sunset Forest. Once he received the cure, he would owe the Breaking Clan a favor. Therefore, I intend to use this as a pretext to approach him. If I can succeed in a sneak attack, I am confident I can slay him!"

"Second Uncle, let's set aside whether this plan is feasible for a moment. Even if you succeed, can you withstand the desperate final strike of a dying Title Douluo?"
"Uh, well~"
Hearing Yang Ziyuan's question, Yang Wudi fell into silence.
To be honest, with the strength of the two of them, dealing with a severely wounded Title Douluo would be an incredibly strenuous task.
Moreover, his plan required the assistance of Yang Ziyuan's domain.
If Dugu Bo were truly to fight to the death, there was a very real possibility he could take them down with him!
At the very least, he could take out the weakest person on the scene: Yang Ziyuan!
That was an outcome he could not accept!
After all, no matter how precious the immortal herbs were, they couldn't compare to Yang Ziyuan!
"Then what do you suggest?"
Hearing this, Yang Ziyuan thought for a while.
Taking it by force was definitely not an option.
It seemed he would have to approach this from a different angle.
"I have a way to obtain the immortal herbs, and it might even be possible to turn Dugu Bo into one of our own!"
"What kind of method?"
"It's a secret!"
Seeing that Yang Ziyuan didn't want to say, Yang Wudi thought for a moment and said, "Nephew, since you already have an idea, we won't pry any further. However, you must promise your Second Uncle that if there are any extra immortal herbs after the deed is done, you won't forget about me!"
Seeing Yang Wudi put it this way, Yang Ziyuan naturally wouldn't refuse.
"No problem!"
"Good. In that case, we shall pay a visit to that Poison Douluo in three days!"
Seeing Yang Ziyuan agree, Yang Wudi breathed a sigh of relief.
Afterward, the group chatted a bit more about the development of the Breaking Clan before dispersing.
Ten days later, Tiandou City.
"Grandfather, this Tiandou City looks even more prosperous than Vast Sea City~"
Inside the carriage, Yang Ziyuan poked his head out to look around.
Tiandou City and Vast Sea City were thousands of miles apart, and he had enjoyed the scenery of many places along the way.
However, compared to Tiandou City, the other cities seemed slightly shabby.
"Of course, Tiandou City is the imperial capital of the Tiandou Empire, after all; its level of prosperity is naturally incomparable to other cities."
Changing the subject, Yang Wuhui asked, "Ziyuan, is your method really going to work? You must know, that Poison Douluo doesn't have a good temper. If you end up angering him, it will be very difficult for the two of us to protect you!"
However, what he hadn't expected was that the Poison Douluo, famous for his mastery of toxins, would actually be persecuted by his own poison.
This made him find it hard to believe.
Yet, the death of Dugu Bo's son was proof enough that this matter was true!
