Outside the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

Under Ling Xiao's guidance, Qian Renxue had already made her way to the mountainside,

where she was hiding in a towering ancient tree.

Although she still didn't understand what was so special about this place,

the dense Soul Power in the valley, so concentrated it seemed almost tangible, couldn't lie.

Then there was the strange red-and-blue pool,

and the Immortal Herbs all around it, glowing in a dazzling array of colors.

Every plant contained powerful energy fluctuations.

This was undoubtedly an extraordinary treasure trove.

"Teacher, how did you know there was a place like this deep in Sunset Forest?

And what exactly are those plants?

They contain such powerful energy,

yet they don't seem to have become Soul Beasts... That doesn't make sense."

Qian Renxue asked in a hushed voice.

Spirit Hall had been passed down for tens of thousands of years,

and possessed more Soul Masters than anywhere else on the continent.

Its knowledge and records of the continent's terrain, Soul Beasts, and plants were the most extensive of all.

Yet she had never seen any records of such a strange treasure trove in any books.

It made no sense!

"Heh. In your teacher's eyes, Douluo Continent is nothing but a little pond.

What could possibly escape my notice when I sweep the place with my divine sense?"

Ling Xiao said breezily, shamelessly boasting.

It was true that Douluo Continent wasn't very large.

Compared to Dou Qi Continent,

it was, at most, the size of two empires.

If he were still a Dou Sheng, he could sweep his spiritual power across the whole continent and know it like the back of his hand.

But right now, he clearly couldn't do that.

Did that stop him from showing off?

Not at all.

Relying on the memories of his previous life, he wouldn't claim to know every detail of the continent, but he was pretty close.

Qian Renxue blinked, clearly unconvinced.

But then again—

she had indeed found this treasure trove by following his directions.

He had pinpointed this small valley deep in the mountains from the outskirts of Sunset Forest.

Even her grandfather, Qian Daoliu, probably couldn't manage a perception range covering half an empire.

As expected, her teacher was even more impressive than her grandfather.

Her admiration for Ling Xiao grew by another three parts.

"Teacher, then why aren't we going down? Is there some kind of danger here?"

She put those thoughts aside and asked, puzzled.

With her cultivation at stake, she couldn't help feeling a little anxious.

"Don't rush. Someone's coming. Let's watch a good show first."

"Someone? Does that mean this treasure trove belongs to someone?"

Ling Xiao didn't answer.

The next moment,

Qian Renxue saw the answer for herself.

A dark green figure hurtled through the air from the direction they had come,

and landed steadily at the bottom of the valley after a few bounds.

Strangely,

he was carrying an unconscious boy in one hand.

"Poison Douluo, Dugu Bo..."

Qian Renxue recognized him at a glance.

He was skilled in using poison, and this place was full of unusual herbs. Could he have taken possession of it?

And who was the boy in his hand?

Remembering Ling Xiao's words,

Qian Renxue didn't act rashly. She held her breath, afraid the man might notice them.

In the dilapidated courtyard beside the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well,

Dugu Bo tossed Tang San carelessly onto the ground. The pain in his body brought him instantly to his senses.

"Who are you? We have no grudge between us. Why did you abduct me and bring me here?"

He forced down the ache in his limbs, putting on an expression of fear and wariness,

and made his voice sound just calm enough to seem like he was holding himself together.

But inside—

he was already over the moon!!

After pretending to be a little brat for so long and enduring the mental pollution of that blockhead Yu Xiaogang,

he had finally made it to this moment.

With all the Immortal Herbs in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to help him, his path ahead would be smooth sailing.

That's right!

The Tang San of this life wasn't the original model!

He was the second-generation Tang San!

As he was suppressing the upheaval caused by the Golden Dragon King and the God King of Destruction, the temporal turbulence that had been under control suddenly erupted without warning—

the Divine Realm was destroyed.

And he had been swept up in it and reborn once more!

"Who I am doesn't matter."

Dugu Bo stared at him.

"What matters is this: how did you cure Yanyan's Jade Phosphor Serpent Poison?"

"So you're Miss Dugu Yan's elder. If I tell you, will you let me go?"

Dugu Bo stroked the head of the Emerald Seven-Section Serpent on his arm and said ominously,

"You can try not telling me."

"I'd advise you to give up on killing me to keep me quiet."

Tang San spoke calmly.

"Of course, if you want to keep suffering the agony of your poison flaring up, and watch your granddaughter die young like her parents..."

"Then that's another matter!"

"What nonsense are you spouting, boy?!"

As if Tang San had stepped on his tail, Dugu Bo flew into a rage. He reached out, seized Tang San by the throat, and lifted him off the ground.

"Every night at midnight, you feel a needle-like pain in the crown of your head and the soles of your feet. Your whole body convulses, and you suffer unbearable agony."

"On rainy days, you feel numbness and itching beneath your ribs. It gradually gets worse and lasts for at least an hour..."

Dugu Bo's pupils contracted.

His clawed hand loosened against his will.

Tang San dropped to the ground,

but he knew in his heart—he had this in the bag!

"Golden Dragon King, God King of Destruction, just you wait."

"The day I, Tang San, return to the Divine Realm will be the day you're reduced to ashes."

"But the old geezer sure did squeeze hard!"

Tang San twisted his neck, which had nearly been crushed, and grumbled inwardly.

If he weren't considering how this old geezer had guarded the treasure trove for him all these years,

and what a loyal dog he was,

anyone who dared treat the God King Tang like that—

once his cultivation was restored, he'd grind him to dust first thing.

On the mountainside, in the ancient tree.

The valley wasn't large, and Soul Masters had exceptionally sharp hearing and eyesight.

Every word of Dugu Bo and Tang San's conversation reached Qian Renxue's ears.

"Teacher, was what that boy said... true? Is Dugu Bo really poisoned?"

The more Qian Renxue listened, the more astonished she became. She couldn't help asking.

The truth was, the very idea turned her understanding upside down.

After all, Dugu Bo was the greatest poison expert on the entire continent.

And he'd managed to poison himself?

His granddaughter had gotten caught up in it too?

If word got out, every Soul Master on the continent would be left slack-jawed!

"That Old Poison Freak really is poisoned."

"If things keep going like this, he probably won't live another ten years."

"Then... Teacher, can you cure his poison?"

Qian Renxue's mind began turning.

Dugu Bo was an honored guest of the Heaven Dou Empire, and he had always sided with Prince Xue Xing, who was her enemy.

If she could win him over...

With their strengths and weaknesses shifting,

it would give her plan to infiltrate the Heaven Dou Empire a double boost!

And then there was that boy—

not only could he spot Dugu Bo's chronic illness at a glance,

he could also turn the tables on a Titled Douluo and seize the initiative.

With that courage and intelligence,

he was a rare talent too!

"Heh, you'd better give up on that little scheme of yours!"

Ling Xiao doused her hopes with a bucket of cold water.

"Of the two people down there, one is your mortal enemy, and the other is about to become one.

Instead of thinking about killing them, you're thinking of winning them over?

Have you lost your mind?"

Qian Renxue had barely started speaking when Ling Xiao guessed what she was planning.

With him here in this life,

how could he let her go through that ridiculous story all over again?
