"Dad, Mom, don't you think the temperature in this valley keeps turning hot and cold?" Yu Changge suddenly asked.

Yu Shuyao looked puzzled. "Is it? Why haven't I felt it?"

Yu Changge said, "Maybe your constitutions are both stronger than mine. Dad, Mom, look at Xiao Huang—he's barking in one direction. Could he have discovered something?"

Yu Tianqing and Yu Shuyao glanced at the excited Xiao Huang and nodded thoughtfully.

"Alright, let's follow Xiao Huang and take a look."

A moment later.

They crossed the valley and arrived at a mountaintop. Xiao Huang howled toward the area below, but he did not dare jump down.

"There's a hot spring here?" Yu Tianqing could not help but exclaim in surprise.

He looked around. He had originally assumed that the area they had been in earlier was the outer edge of the valley, but it now seemed that was not the case.

The mountaintop they stood on was at the edge of a mountain hollow. Thick steam rose from within it, damp and carrying a faint sulfurous smell.

Yu Changge now understood why Spirit Hall's people had been unable to find this place. It was simply too difficult to locate and easy to overlook.

Yu Changge recalled Xiao Huang, spread Dragon Wing behind his back, and said to the two of them, "Dad, Mom, let's go down and take a look."

Yu Tianqing and Yu Shuyao exchanged a glance and both nodded.

Before long, all three of them had descended into the mountain hollow. None of them spoke immediately. Instead, they looked around, stunned by the scenery surrounding them.

Yu Changge's attention was focused on the hot spring before him. It was not particularly large, but it was divided into two sections. One was red and emitted heat, while the other was blue and gave off cold air.

Yu Tianqing and Yu Shuyao, meanwhile, paid more attention to the various herbs around them. When they had accidentally encountered a thousand-year spirit herb before, it had improved Xiao Huang considerably.

Over the past year or so, whenever the two of them went out, they would search the surrounding area for herbs similar to the one they had found before, but they had gained nothing.

But what were they seeing now?!

This area actually contained so many herbs that they had previously searched for in vain!

Just as Yu Shuyao saw a rather pretty spirit herb emitting specks of golden light and wanted to touch it, Yu Changge stopped her. "Mom, don't touch it. That's a poisonous herb. Its leaves are toxic."

Yu Shuyao hurriedly pulled back her hand. "Huh? That herb is glowing golden, yet it's poisonous?"

Yu Changge said solemnly, "Dad, Mom, don't touch any of the herbs here without my instructions. There are spirit herbs and Immortal Herbs here that can benefit us, but naturally, there are also poisonous herbs! You can't judge them by appearances alone."

The two nodded, but then Yu Tianqing suddenly realized something. "Son, what did you say? Immortal Herbs that can benefit us?"

Yu Changge nodded. "Yes. Didn't I study the Herbal Encyclopedia sent by the Breaking Clan and the Dugu Family before? I also learned about them at Spirit Hall."

Yu Changge then walked up to an Immortal Herb surrounded by a pink glow.

"Dad, Mom, this one is the Aromatic Silk Beauty that the Breaking Clan has been desperately searching for. It is the bane of all poisons and can neutralize every toxin, but it cannot detoxify on its own."

Hearing that, Yu Tianqing stepped forward and hesitantly asked, "Then, son, should we lend this Aromatic Silk Beauty to the Breaking Clan?"

Yu Shuyao smacked Yu Tianqing on the head from the side. "Are you stupid? This thing is obviously precious. Would we even get it back if we lent it out?"

"Don't forget which sect the Breaking Clan is affiliated with. Once we hand the Aromatic Silk Beauty to them, and they explain the importance of this Immortal Herb to the Clear Sky Sect, do you think the Clear Sky Sect would stay out of it?"

Although the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was, like the Clear Sky Sect, one of the Upper Three Sects, there was an enormous gap in strength between the two sects.

Tang Chen had stepped down as sect master of the Clear Sky Sect, but his prestige was still far greater than that of the current sect master.

Because the current sect master, Tang Hao's father, had suffered internal injuries in the past, his health was not very good. As a result, many of the sect's external affairs were still basically managed by Tang Chen.

Tang Hao had also been named the young sect master at Tang Chen's insistence, because Tang Hao's talent far surpassed Tang Xiao's.

Yu Changge nodded. "Yeah, Dad, there's no rush to lend them the Aromatic Silk Beauty. They only said they had discovered it and hoped we could lend it to them, but they did not say when they wanted to borrow it."

"If we're going to lend it out, we should at least wait until our strength has improved."

There was something else Yu Changge did not say aloud.

In about ten years, Tang Chen should return from Sea God Island and begin searching for a godly inheritance.

By then, the Clear Sky Sect would no longer have a Peerless Douluo protecting it. He would also be around twenty years old, and the Golden Egg would have long since been opened. His strength should not be lacking.

If he wanted to establish his own faction then, perhaps he could use the Aromatic Silk Beauty to recruit the Breaking Clan.

Of course, that was merely a thought that had suddenly flashed through Yu Changge's mind. If he managed to obtain the Asura God's Trial before Tang Chen did, then whether Tang Chen would vanish from the continent would be impossible to say.

Still, for him to achieve Tang Chen's level by the age of twenty was, honestly, far too difficult.

Even with the Hextech System, it had only given him these three Hextech augments. Compared with other systems that casually awarded complete sets of God-Bestowed Soul Rings, Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bones, and the like, his cheat could only be considered rather modest.

If he wanted to rapidly improve his strength, he would probably have to place his hopes on the Golden Egg reward that could only be opened when he turned seventeen!

Moreover, the main purpose of recruiting the Breaking Clan was actually to make better use of the spirit herbs and Immortal Herbs here for pill refinement.

After all, Yu Changge could not possibly refine pills himself. The pill system of this era was still incomplete, and exploring it would take both time and effort. He himself had no spare time to research such things.

Therefore, it would be best to have someone trustworthy study it.

As had been mentioned before, for Yu Changge, recruiting the Breaking Clan had the lowest cost-effectiveness in this era.

Tang Chen was still around, Ah Yin and Tang Hao had not yet met, and the Breaking Clan held no hatred toward the Clear Sky Sect. It would be much easier to recruit Dugu Bo and the Ye Family of Heaven Dou Empire instead.

As for the idea of establishing his own faction, he had not told his parents about it either. Although his parents could place him above the clan, asking them to leave the clan would probably be difficult for them to accept right away.

So this matter could only be handled gradually.

It was not that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was bad. Yu Yuanzhen's personality was actually quite good, but unfortunately, Yu Xiaogang was not.

Yu Changge simply did not like the feeling of being beneath others. Otherwise, whatever he did in the clan, he would have to stay wary of everyone else. It was too exhausting.

Besides, if Xiao Huang truly evolved into a Golden Sacred Dragon in the future, it would differ greatly from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's inherited Martial Soul.
