Moving the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well-Medicine Elder's Test

"This is the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well." Medicine Elder looked toward the place where the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings' remains lay.

"Teacher." Phoenix King looked at Medicine Elder. There were so many Immortal Herbs here, and now he had Medicine Elder's help. He really couldn't imagine how he could possibly lose to Tang San and the others.

Could Tang San also be a reincarnator?

Ridiculous!

"These two humans are newly acquired slaves." Di Tian glanced at Dugu Bo and his granddaughter, Dugu Yan. He didn't consider them important at all, merely treating them as slaves.

In the Beast God's eyes, the only human worthy of his respect was Medicine Elder. It was Medicine Elder who had helped the Soul Beasts slowly break free of their plight.

He had no reason to respect any other humans.

As for Phoenix King, he considered him a Heavenly Demon Phoenix.

A super Magical Beast from another world! A descendant of the phoenix.

Besides, Di Tian didn't know that Phoenix King had been human in his previous life. And even if he had been human, so what? Phoenix King was a Magical Beast now, and that didn't affect their relationship.

"The Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well was formed from the remains of two beasts who fell into this world before they could enter the cavern. It can indeed cultivate many excellent medicinal herbs. But it's only decent by Douluo Continent's standards. In Dou Qi Continent, it wouldn't be much use."

Medicine Elder looked at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. He agreed that it was a treasure trove by Douluo Continent's standards, but it wouldn't amount to much in Dou Qi Continent.

"Dou Qi Continent?" Dugu Bo didn't understand the name. Was there really a place called Dou Qi Continent in this world?

Dugu Bo had spent his entire life on Douluo Continent. Even in his previous life, he had never left it. He hadn't even heard of Sun Moon Continent, so how could he know about Dou Qi Continent, a place from another world?

"Grandpa..." Dugu Yan looked at Di Tian and the others in fear, afraid they would simply kill her and her grandfather.

Dugu Yan had a lot she wanted to say, but she didn't dare.

"We should move the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well right away. We absolutely can't let the humans get it." Gu Yuena was about to make her move.

"Di Tian, these two humans are the slaves you took in, right?"

Phoenix King looked at Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan. In his previous life, he had read Douluo Continent and had rather liked someone like Dugu Bo. He was the kind of man who would give everything for his friends.

Back at Spirit Hall, when Tang San had been in trouble, Dugu Bo had been the one to help him.

If Dugu Bo hadn't stepped in, Tang San might not have held out until Tang Hao arrived.

"Yes, Mistress! These two humans are the slaves I recently took in. The old one is a Titled Douluo. His combat strength isn't great, but he's useful for dealing with those grunts.

"But the younger one has no real ability." Di Tian judged Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan from his own perspective.

Dugu Bo was useful, and Di Tian had a point.

After all, Dugu Bo was a Titled Douluo. But his granddaughter, Dugu Yan, had little fighting strength, so Di Tian didn't think much of her.

"Teacher, what do you think we should do with them?" Phoenix King looked at Medicine Elder. He had some authority now, but he didn't dare speak carelessly. He was still too young—his body was too young—and he didn't have much say.

"Let them stay. They might come in handy later." Medicine Elder looked at the pitiful grandfather and granddaughter and decided to leave them some leeway. It was always better to keep a path open for the future.

"Grandpa, why does that man without legs give me such a bad feeling?"

"Don't say that, or you'll die."

Even I could tell by then: if Medicine Elder didn't have strength, why would a monster like Di Tian respect him?

And that mysterious silver-haired woman—Gu Yuena—didn't seem to have the aura of a powerful person, but she had a mighty figure like Di Tian bowing and scraping to her. That meant she had to be incredibly strong.

Dugu Bo had survived this long, so he had learned to be strict about knowing whom he could offend and whom he couldn't.

But sometimes he did foolish things. For example, anything involving Tang San made him throw himself into helping. Yet Tang San never repaid him.

The others heard Dugu Bo and his granddaughter talking, but they didn't care.

Before long, the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well was moved to Star Dou Forest.

Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan were settled outside Star Dou Forest, where they weren't allowed to leave freely.

They could call the Dugu family in only when there was a need.

Not long afterward, Dugu Yan was summoned to Medicine Elder's side and brought into Lake of Life.

"May I ask what you want, sir?" Dugu Yan asked fearfully, looking at Medicine Elder.

"Don't be nervous, young lady. I'm not going to kill you. I just want you to help me with an experiment. I want to understand why a Martial Soul gains a Soul Ring after Soul Hunting. What's the principle behind it? I want to study it."

"What?" After hearing Medicine Elder ask that, Dugu Yan could hardly believe he was asking such a stupid question. What was the point?

To the people of Douluo Continent, the question was pointless. Nobody ever thought about it—so long as humans hunted Soul Beasts, they gained Soul Rings and Soul Skills. What was there to question?

"Young lady, if you're willing to help me, I'll give you a generous reward."

"...No. As long as you promise not to kill me or my grandfather, I'll do anything."

Dugu Yan had lived two lives and understood that you shouldn't assume too much goodness in others. Just look at Tang San. Dugu Bo had treated him so well, and in the end, the Dugu family had sacrificed everything for him. Their line had died out.

So Dugu Yan didn't think these people could necessarily be trusted. They might be just like Tang San. No matter what, she couldn't believe their words too easily. Protecting herself was what mattered.

Dugu Yan didn't even dare hope that her family could get the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well back. As long as they could stay alive, that was enough.

The Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well had already been moved here. What could they do about it? Everyone here was a powerful Soul Beast. They couldn't afford to offend them.

"Don't worry. I'm not a bad person. If you cooperate with my tests, you'll be rewarded. First, let me see your Soul Rings."

"Okay." Dugu Yan revealed her Soul Rings. Two yellow ones, both basically less than a hundred years old.

"So this is a Yellow Soul Ring. It's sealed inside a Martial Soul through Soul Hunting. That's quite a twisted arrangement... And the Soul Skills gained are mostly related to the Soul Beast. But why does Soul Hunting grant a Soul Ring? I need to study this in more detail. I'll need some materials."
