"Where exactly is the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well? Where is it?!" Under Lin Xiao's Dragon Eye, the scenery below was completely laid out before him. Even the smallest details were exceptionally clear.

By now, they had been in Sunset Forest for half an hour. Even with Black Dragon's incredible speed, they still had not found the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. Clearly, locating Dugu Bo's Psychedelic Poison Array would reveal the well's location, yet unfortunately, they had not even found the Psychedelic Poison Array.

Lin Xiao stared intently at the rapidly flashing scenery ahead and could not help sighing. "Xiao Xue, it seems I truly underestimated how well-hidden this place is. I originally thought it would be easy to find, but now it seems that isn't the case."

"Since this place is so extraordinary, Lin Xiao, and has Immortal Grade Spirit Herbs, its secrecy must naturally be beyond imagination. Besides, how much time has even passed? Why am I not worried, while you are getting impatient instead?" Qian Renxue said with a smile.

"Haha~ I really am a little impatient." Lin Xiao shook his head with a wry smile.

"Lin Xiao, there's no need to rush. We have plenty of time. I refuse to believe that if we search the entirety of Sunset Forest, we still won't be able to find it!" Qian Renxue said calmly.

Sunset Forest was vast, and the place Lin Xiao had mentioned was not even marked on a map, much less given a specific location. In truth, she had already prepared herself to spend a great deal of time searching when they set out.

"What's that?" Lin Xiao's eyes immediately brightened, and the corners of his mouth curled upward in a smile. He could clearly see faint green poisonous mist some distance ahead.

That was perhaps Dugu Bo's Psychedelic Poison Array. Although it was covered by the enormous trees of Sunset Forest, allowing only faint, nearly imperceptible green poisonous mist to seep out, it had nowhere to hide before his Dragon Eye!

"Black Dragon, start slowing down. We found the place—it's right ahead of us. Half an hour... that took quite a while," Lin Xiao said with a smile.

It had to be said that the location of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was indeed extremely well hidden. If not for Dugu Bo's Psychedelic Poison Array, they might have flown directly over it without discovering anything.

"Hm?" Qian Renxue instantly rose to her feet, narrowed her eyes, and stared ahead with a slight frown. "Where is it? Where?! Lin Xiao, why can't I see it?"

She narrowed her eyes and looked ahead, but found nothing strange. All she could see was green forest, and beyond that, still more green forest. There was nothing at all.

Lin Xiao said with a chuckle, "Of course you can't see it, Xiao Xue. With your eyesight, naturally you wouldn't be able to spot it. But I have the soul skill Dragon Eye, which greatly enhances my visual perception and far surpasses that of ordinary people. I can't guarantee I can see every scene in Sunset Forest, but ninety-nine percent of them can't escape these eyes of mine."

Although his soul skill Dragon Eye possessed no offensive power whatsoever, its practicality was displayed to the fullest. Enhanced visual perception was simply too useful—so useful that he sometimes did not even need to activate Dragon Eye.

"So that's how it is. No wonder I couldn't see it. Lin Xiao, your soul skill may not be all that impressive, but in certain aspects, it really is useful!!!" Qian Renxue said with a laugh.

It was clearly a soul skill from a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Ring, yet what was its effect? It merely enhanced visual perception. Calling it useless would be unfair, since that improvement in visual perception was truly astonishing. But calling it useful was also difficult, since it was rarely needed in everyday situations.

"Ahem, Xiao Xue, why are you making fun of me again?! When I absorbed that Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Ring back then, I never expected my soul skill to turn out like this. I thought it would be an offensive Soul Power skill, but who could have expected its effect to be nothing more than enhanced visual perception?" Lin Xiao coughed twice and said bitterly.

"Isn't that right? Because you forcibly absorbed a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Ring, Lin Xiao, you got beaten up quite often," Qian Renxue teased.

When she first learned that Lin Xiao had absorbed a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Ring, she had been worried. After he succeeded, she had been shocked and even somewhat envious. But when she learned of the soul skill's effect, it truly left her not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

Black Dragon stared ahead and also discovered where the poisonous mist was. It sent a mental message to Lin Xiao, who sensed its emotions and smiled. "That's right, it's that place. Black Dragon, slowly lower our altitude, and shrink your body as well. It's time for us to go down."

After arriving above the poisonous mist, Black Dragon gradually began shrinking and descending.

At this moment, Qian Renxue also spotted the difficult-to-detect green poisonous mist below and slowly said, "Green poisonous mist... from our previous altitude, it really would have been difficult to notice. Lin Xiao, is this the mysterious place you mentioned?"

"More or less. This green poisonous mist merely marks the general location. We still need to enter and search inside," Lin Xiao replied with a slight nod.

Now that they had discovered the Psychedelic Poison Array laid down by Dugu Bo, the precise area had been locked down. Finding the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well would become exceedingly easy.

Black Dragon's enormous body gradually shrank until it was only a dozen or so meters long, then it steadily landed within Sunset Forest.

All around Sunset Forest, giant trees towered overhead, standing close together and forming a canopy that blocked out the sky and sun. Sunlight could only pass through the narrow gaps between the treetops, scattering across the ground in sparse patches.

Qian Renxue looked at the poison array before her and frowned. "Lin Xiao, this seems to be an artificially created poison array. It doesn't seem to be the place you mentioned, does it?!"

Although she had not seen many poison arrays, she still knew the most basic principles. The scene before her was completely incapable of supporting a naturally formed poison array. It could only have been man-made, and created by an expert in poisons at that.

Lin Xiao also pretended to frown and slowly said, "It seems so. But since we're here, let's go in and take a look. Perhaps the place I mentioned has already been occupied by someone else."

Black Dragon continued shrinking until it was the size of a palm, then finally stopped. It flew onto Lin Xiao's head, quietly coiled its body, and obediently lay there.

"Then let's go in and take a look. I hope this isn't the place you mentioned, Lin Xiao. If someone else got here first..." Qian Renxue slowly said as she examined the poison array before her. What was inside the poison array? Why had someone set up a poison array here?
