Qian Lingxin and Qian Lingsu, who were in the city, quickly headed out of Heaven Dou City after seeing the signal.

Thirty minutes later, the two women arrived outside Dugu Bo's residence.

Sensing the women's auras, Qian Yufeng said, "They're here. Let's set out."

Dugu Bo had also guessed that he had been waiting for these two female Title Douluo.

All four of them were Title Douluo. Traveling on horseback would only slow them down.

"Senior, ladies, please follow me."

After saying that, Dugu Bo began to lead the way.

Qian Yufeng brought Qian Lingxin and Qian Lingsu along behind Dugu Bo.

Under normal circumstances, it took a full day to travel from Heaven Dou City to Sunset Forest. However, the four of them were extremely fast and arrived in just three hours.

Before entering, Dugu Bo said, "Senior, quite a few Earth Kings and Pink Ladies live in Sunset Forest. Areas with many cave entrances are Crypt Demon Spider territory, so we need to be careful when passing through."

"Though they won't cause us any trouble, they could delay us."

Qian Yufeng said, "Mm, just lead the way. We won't trespass into those soul beasts' territories."

After all, his understanding of Sunset Forest dated back a long time, so he chose to heed Dugu Bo's advice.

"Senior, let's go." Dugu Bo turned and headed into Sunset Forest.

Qian Yufeng and the other two also started walking, slowly following after him.

After entering the forest, Qian Yufeng signaled for the two women to release some of their aura. Ordinary soul beasts would not dare casually approach the might of a Title Douluo.

Even among ten-thousand-year soul beasts, most would choose to stay far away when facing humans who could threaten them.

Feeling the change in the two women's auras, Dugu Bo was secretly astonished.

These two women were definitely at least two ranks stronger than him.

The journey was very peaceful. Qian Yufeng did see several Ghost Tigers fleeing in panic.

As for Earth Kings or Pink Ladies, he did not see a single one.

After walking for roughly thirty minutes, the view ahead gradually became blurred.

An enormous poisonous miasma blocked the path of the four of them.

Dugu Bo stopped and said, "Senior, this poisonous miasma formed naturally around that basin. These are Poison-Avoiding Pills I refined. Taking them will protect you from the toxic gas."

As he spoke, he took out three Poison-Avoiding Pills from his storage Soul Tool.

Qian Yufeng was not worried about the poisonous miasma. "There's no need. My sixth soul skill can resist the erosion of any negative attack, and it has an area effect."

As soon as he finished speaking, a black Soul Ring lit up.

"Sixth Soul Skill—Domain of Holy Light!"

A pale golden hemispherical barrier directly enveloped all four of them.

"This Soul Ring came from a Golden Crocodile Turtle with powerful defenses and immunity to all poisons. Just keep moving and lead the way."

Dugu Bo nodded, put away the Poison-Avoiding Pills, and continued onward.

The group entered the poisonous miasma. With Qian Yufeng's soul skill protecting them, it was completely insignificant!

Five minutes later, their vision became clear again. Qian Yufeng felt two strange forces, one cold and one hot, rush toward him.

Dugu Bo, meanwhile, seemed to relax somewhat. Clearly, these two forces had begun suppressing the poison within his body.

After completely passing through the poisonous miasma, the environment before them changed drastically.

Many rare plants grew nearby, most of which even Qian Yufeng had never seen before.

Whether they were poisonous or not required a professional to determine.

He gave the two women a look, signaling them not to wander about and to follow him.

Qian Lingxin and Qian Lingsu understood as well. This unfamiliar place held dangers.

Thus, using the method Qian Yufeng had taught them, they condensed Soul Power over the surfaces of their bodies to form a barrier, preventing unknown plants from scratching or piercing them.

After walking for a while, Dugu Bo stopped. Turning to Qian Yufeng, he said, "Senior, many medicinal herbs grow near the ice spring and fire spring in that valley. They should be enough for me to research a way to suppress the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor Poison."

"But I can't stay there for long either. After more than three hours, I start to feel unwell. You should still be careful if you go there."

The area around the springs of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was indeed dangerous. After all, it contained vast amounts of Fire Poison and cold poison.

If lower-level people approached it, they would likely suffer a poison outbreak and die very quickly.

"We're only taking a brief look. We won't stay long."

"There are quite a few unfamiliar plants and medicinal herbs here. I happen to know someone highly knowledgeable about plants. I'll have him come take a look another day."

"An expert in plant identification?" Dugu Bo was somewhat surprised. "If Senior can bring him here, perhaps he can help me find suitable medicinal herbs."

"..." Qian Yufeng did not answer. If Yue Guan came here, he would only despise you for ruining such treasures.

If they ended up fighting, it would be bad if it damaged their relationship.

"That person has a rather eccentric temperament. Whether I can persuade him to come is another matter," he said.

Yue Guan was Qian Xunji's capable assistant. He had been so busy these past years that he barely had time to cultivate his Soul Power, leaving him only at rank ninety-two.

Gui Mei was slightly stronger, at rank ninety-three.

Moreover, Yue Guan held a unique affection for greenery and flowers.

His residence contained many rare species.

With the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum as his Martial Soul, he was extremely knowledgeable about plant growth.

He could even accurately name them all.

Such a talent could also bring Spirit Hall unexpected rare medicinal herbs while carrying out missions abroad.

Dugu Bo said nothing further and led Qian Yufeng and the other two toward the ice and fire springs.

When they reached the bottom of the valley, Qian Yufeng clearly saw several Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemums, as well as quite a few Eight-Petaled Immortal Orchids.

If Yue Guan consumed one Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, would his Martial Soul improve and give him a chance to cultivate to rank ninety-nine? A trace of curiosity flashed through his mind.

After all, in the original work, Dai Mubai's absorption of the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum had made Yue Guan soften his heart. Not only had he planned to spare Dai Mubai, he had even wanted to take him as a disciple.

This showed that Yue Guan's desire for the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum had reached the point where he could disregard their hostile relationship.

Furthermore, the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum was also a top-tier plant-type Martial Soul. It surely still possessed great untapped potential.

What was more, a small grove of bamboo actually grew not far away!

Qian Yufeng stepped closer and saw that it was Ink Jade Divine Bamboo, rumored to have gone extinct on the continent!

This type of bamboo was impervious to water and fire, and paper made from it could remain intact for ten thousand years. Spirit Hall had related bamboo scrolls in its collection.

Could this be Mo Mo from Peerless Tang Sect... no, from Dragon King Legend?

He remembered now. In the future, the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well would give birth to six plant-type Beasts of Calamity, and this Ink Jade Divine Bamboo would be one of them.

Dugu Bo was rather confused. Why was Senior staring at that inconspicuous bamboo?

The plants growing between the ice spring and fire spring were what truly amazed people.

For two strange plants to grow in such an environment was already an eye-opening sight.

Dugu Bo had tried to approach them before, but the extreme cold and heat had forced him to give up halfway.

Qian Yufeng withdrew his gaze and turned toward the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

Four plants stood out conspicuously!

Aromatic Silk Beauty, Aromatic Silk Beauty, Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, Infernal Delicate Apricot!
