Qian Daoliu and Tai Yi were both delighted when Qian Renxue finally agreed to return to Spirit City with them.
The two of them were extremely happy as well.
At that moment, Qian Renxue looked at Qian Daoliu and Tai Yi and asked,
"Grandpa, Xiao Yi, what brought you to Heaven Dou City? You didn't come here specifically to see me, did you?"
Hearing this, Qian Daoliu replied,
"Besides seeing you, we came to Heaven Dou City this time to hunt Xiao Yi's third Spirit Ring."
"Shouldn't someone have captured Xiao Yi's third Spirit Ring and brought it back to Spirit Hall? Why make the trip here to Heaven Dou City yourselves?"
Qian Renxue asked.
It was no wonder Qian Renxue asked that. In Spirit Hall, people like Tai Yi did not need to personally hunt Spirit Rings even ten thousand years old. Suitable ones would simply be captured and brought to them.
Hearing that, Qian Daoliu looked at Tai Yi. The meaning was obvious: explain it yourself.
So Tai Yi said,
"Xue'er, the most important reason we came this time is that the god whose inheritance I possess told me there is a fortunate opportunity waiting for me in Sunset Forest. That's why we came."
"A fortunate opportunity?"
"Yes. Xue'er, have you heard of Immortal Herbs?"
Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue said,
"I saw them in ancient records before, but do such things really exist?"
"I don't think a god would stoop to lying to me. We'll know once we take a look. And since I was afraid I wouldn't recognize any Immortal Herbs, I specifically brought Yue Guan along."
Qian Renxue nodded at that. There truly was no reason for a god to deceive a seven-year-old child.
But how could Qian Renxue have known that this was not a divine revelation at all? It was merely Tai Yi's advantage as a transmigrator who knew the plot.
Seeing that the two had finished talking, Qian Daoliu said,
"Since everything has been made clear, let's set off. We'll go to Sunset Forest first and discuss the rest later."
Tai Yi and Qian Renxue both nodded at this.
The three then walked outside, where they found three people waiting: Yue Guan, Pufferfish, and Snake Lance.
Seeing them, Qian Daoliu said,
"Snake Lance, Pufferfish, Xiao Xue's infiltration is over. One of you will remain at Heaven Dou Palace to keep things under control, while the other will return to Spirit City and find someone to replace Xiao Xue in the infiltration."
The two exchanged glances upon hearing this, and both had joy in their eyes. As devout believers of the Angel God, they naturally did not wish to see their Young Master wasting her time here in hiding.
Thus, the two said,
"We understand, Grand Pontiff."
After saying that, they immediately left to carry out Qian Daoliu's orders.
Qian Daoliu then turned to Yue Guan and said,
"Let's go. To Sunset Forest."
With that, Qian Daoliu took Qian Renxue and Tai Yi and flew toward Sunset Forest.
Before long, the four arrived at the outskirts of Sunset Forest.
At that moment, Qian Daoliu asked Tai Yi,
"Xiao Yi, where did the God of Destruction say your fortunate opportunity was located?"
Hearing this, Tai Yi did not know what to say. He only knew that the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was in Sunset Forest; he had no idea exactly where it was.
So Tai Yi said,
"The God of Destruction didn't give me a specific direction. He only told me that the opportunity was in Sunset Forest and that it would be easy to find once I came here."
Qian Daoliu nodded upon hearing this and said,
"Then let us search within Sunset Forest. We can look for Immortal Herbs while searching for a suitable third Spirit Ring for you."
Tai Yi naturally nodded in agreement.
The group of four began flying steadily above Sunset Forest, searching for both Tai Yi's opportunity and a suitable third Spirit Ring.
Naturally, Tai Yi was watching for the poisonous miasma within Sunset Forest. Having read the original work, he knew that once they found the miasma arranged by Dugu Bo, the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well would not be far away.
And so, the group flew above Sunset Forest for some time.
Soon, Tai Yi, whom Qian Daoliu was carrying, spotted the poisonous miasma in the forest ahead from a great distance. It rose straight into the sky.
Seeing this, Yue Guan said,
"Grand Pontiff, let us take a detour. Things like Immortal Herbs generally do not grow within poisonous miasma."
Hearing that, Qian Daoliu prepared to take Qian Renxue and Tai Yi around it.
But seeing Qian Daoliu's movement, Tai Yi hurriedly shouted,
"Grandpa, don't go around it!"
Tai Yi had finally found this poisonous miasma. Knowing that the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was inside it, how could he let Qian Daoliu take a detour?
Hearing Tai Yi's words, Qian Daoliu said,
"Xiao Yi, didn't Chrysanthemum Douluo just say that Immortal Herbs would not grow in poisonous miasma?"
Tai Yi replied,
"Grandpa, I have a feeling that the Immortal Herbs are inside. We shouldn't take a detour."
Qian Daoliu did not hesitate upon hearing this and chose to trust Tai Yi.
With that, he launched an attack carrying purifying power. It tore directly through the poisonous miasma, carving out a vacuum free of poison within it.
He then led Qian Renxue and Tai Yi into it. Although Yue Guan believed that Immortal Herbs should not grow in such poisonous miasma, Qian Daoliu had already acted, so he could only follow.
As the group ventured deeper,
Tai Yi soon saw an area within the poisonous miasma that was not covered by any poison at all. It resembled a volcanic crater.
The moment he saw it, Tai Yi knew they had found the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
So Tai Yi said,
"Grandpa, it should be down below."
Hearing this, Qian Daoliu prepared to lead Qian Renxue and Tai Yi into the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. Yue Guan was also astonished to discover such a place hidden within the poisonous miasma. If Immortal Herbs truly existed, it made sense that they could grow here without being discovered, protected by the miasma.
Just as the four prepared to walk down the slope, a voice suddenly rang out from below.
"Who is it? How dare you come to my herb garden?"
Hearing the voice, Tai Yi and the others stopped in their tracks.
Yue Guan then shouted,
"Who is it? Who dares play tricks here? If you have the guts, get out here!"
As Yue Guan's words fell, Tai Yi saw a green-haired old man shoot out from within at high speed and arrive before the four of them.
After recognizing the man, Yue Guan shouted,
"Old Poison! I never expected you to be here. You got away last time, but you won't escape this time."
Yue Guan then said to Qian Daoliu,
"Grand Pontiff, this man is called Dugu Bo. He is a level ninety-one Title Douluo. When he broke through to Title Douluo, Spirit Hall tried to recruit him, but he refused. He even killed members of Spirit Hall. Old Ghost and I injured him back then, but he managed to escape. I never expected to encounter him here today."
Hearing this, Qian Daoliu said,
"Since he is an enemy of Spirit Hall, we will deal with him today."
