Seeking the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well

Qian Daoliu and Tai Yi were both overjoyed to see that Qian Renxue had finally agreed to return to Spirit City with them.

At this moment, Qian Renxue looked toward Qian Daoliu and Tai Yi and asked, "Grandfather, Xiao Yi, what business brings you to Heaven Dou City? Surely you didn't come all this way just to see me?"

Hearing this, Qian Daoliu spoke up, "Aside from visiting you, the reason we came to Heaven Dou City this time is to hunt for Xiao Yi's third spirit ring."

"Isn't Xiao Yi's third spirit ring supposed to be handled by people sent to capture a beast for him back at Spirit Hall? Why go through the trouble of coming all the way to Heaven Dou City yourselves?" Qian Renxue asked.

It was no wonder Qian Renxue would ask this; after all, within Spirit Hall, someone like Tai Yi would never have to hunt his own spirit rings for the first ten thousand years—they would simply send others to capture a suitable beast and bring it back.

Hearing this, Qian Daoliu looked at Tai Yi, the implication clear: explain it yourself.

So, Tai Yi spoke up, "Xue'er, the most important reason we are here is that the god I inherited my power from told me there is a fortuitous encounter waiting for me in the Sunset Forest, which is why we came."

"A fortuitous encounter?"

"Yes, a fortuitous encounter. Xue'er, have you ever heard of immortal herbs?"

Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue replied, "I have seen them mentioned in ancient texts, but do such things really exist?"

"I believe a god wouldn't lie to me. We'll know once we go and see for ourselves. Besides, I was afraid I wouldn't recognize the immortal herbs, so I specifically asked Yue Guan to come along."

Hearing this, Qian Renxue nodded. Indeed, a god had no reason to deceive a seven-year-old child.

However, Qian Renxue had no way of knowing that this wasn't a divine revelation at all, but rather the advantage Tai Yi held as a transmigrator who knew the plot.

Seeing that the two had finished their conversation, Qian Daoliu spoke up, "Since everything is clear, let's set off. We will head to the Sunset Forest first and discuss the rest later."

Hearing this, Tai Yi and Qian Renxue both nodded.

The three of them walked outside, where they saw three people waiting: Yue Guan, Pufferfish, and Snake Spear.

Seeing the three, Qian Daoliu said, "Snake Spear, Pufferfish, Xiao Xue's infiltration mission is over. One of you go to the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace to handle things, and the other return to Spirit City to find someone to replace Xiao Xue."

The two exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with joy. As devout believers of the Angel God, they naturally did not want to see their Young Lord wasting her time here on an infiltration mission.

They replied, "We understand, Great Elder."

With that, the two left immediately to carry out Qian Daoliu's orders.

Then, Qian Daoliu looked at Yue Guan and said, "Let's go to the Sunset Forest."

After speaking, Qian Daoliu took Qian Renxue and Tai Yi and flew toward the Sunset Forest.

Soon, the four arrived at the outskirts of the Sunset Forest.

At this point, Qian Daoliu asked Tai Yi, "Xiao Yi, where did the God of Destruction say your fortuitous encounter was located?"

Hearing this, Tai Yi didn't know what to say. He only knew the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was in the Sunset Forest, but he didn't know the exact location.

So, Tai Yi replied, "The God of Destruction didn't give a specific location, only that the encounter was in the Sunset Forest and that it would be easy to find once we arrived."

Qian Daoliu nodded and said, "In that case, we shall search the Sunset Forest. We can look for the immortal herbs while simultaneously searching for a suitable third spirit ring for you."

Tai Yi naturally nodded in agreement.

The group of four began flying at a steady pace above the Sunset Forest, searching for both the encounter and a suitable third spirit ring.

Tai Yi was naturally looking for the area in the Sunset Forest covered in poisonous miasma. Having read the original work, he knew that once he saw the miasma set up by Dugu Bo, he would be close to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

The group flew over the Sunset Forest for some time.

Eventually, Tai Yi, who was being carried by Qian Daoliu, spotted the poisonous miasma rising into the sky from the forest ahead.

Seeing this, Yue Guan spoke up, "Great Elder, let's take a detour. Things like immortal herbs generally do not grow within poisonous miasma."

Hearing this, Qian Daoliu prepared to take Qian Renxue and Tai Yi on a detour.

Seeing Qian Daoliu's movement, Tai Yi hurriedly shouted, "Grandfather, don't take a detour!"

Tai Yi had gone to great lengths to find this poisonous miasma, and knowing that the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well lay within it, he was not about to let Qian Daoliu take a detour.

Hearing Tai Yi's words, Qian Daoliu replied:

"Little Yi, didn't Chrysanthemum Douluo just say that immortal herbs wouldn't grow within a poisonous miasma?"

To this, Tai Yi spoke up:

"Grandfather, I have a feeling that the immortal herbs are inside. Let's not take a detour."

Hearing this, Qian Daoliu did not hesitate and chose to listen to Tai Yi.

With a single strike imbued with purifying power, he cut directly through the miasma, carving out a vacuum zone free of poison.

He then flew into the depths with Qian Renxue and Tai Yi. Seeing this, Yue Guan, despite his understanding that immortal herbs shouldn't grow in such a place, had no choice but to follow since Qian Daoliu had already made his move.

As the group ventured deeper, Tai Yi soon spotted an area within the miasma that was completely free of poison, resembling the crater of a volcano.

Seeing this, Tai Yi knew he had found the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

Therefore, Tai Yi said:

"Grandfather, it should be down there."

Hearing this, Qian Daoliu prepared to take Qian Renxue and Tai Yi into the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. Yue Guan was also shocked to see such a place hidden within the miasma; if immortal herbs truly existed and grew in a place protected by such poison, it was only natural that they had remained undiscovered.

Just as the four of them prepared to head down the slope, a voice suddenly rang out from below.

"Who goes there? How dare you come to my herb garden?"

Hearing this voice, the four of them stopped in their tracks.

Then, Yue Guan shouted:

"Who is it? Stop playing god and show yourself if you have the guts!"

As soon as Yue Guan's voice faded, Tai Yi saw an old man with green hair fly out rapidly and appear before them.

After seeing the man's face clearly, Yue Guan shouted:

"Old Poison, I didn't expect you to be here. You escaped last time, but you won't get away today."

Yue Guan then said to Qian Daoliu:

"Great High Priest, this man is called Dugu Bo, a level 91 Title Douluo. When he first broke through to the Title Douluo realm, our Spirit Hall tried to recruit him, but he refused and even killed our people. Back then, Old Ghost and I wounded him, but he managed to escape. I never expected to run into him here today."

Hearing this, Qian Daoliu said:

"Since he is an enemy of Spirit Hall, let's finish him off today."
