Yu Xiaogang and Tang San were thoroughly used by Scarface.

From struggling and resisting at first, to later becoming numb.

And later still, Yu Xiaogang inexplicably became somewhat obsessed with that feeling. As he began to enjoy it, he even started catering to the other man.

As for Tang San...

His heart was filled with pain and humiliation, but even more so with anger and killing intent.

However, when he saw the look of enjoyment on his teacher's face, and even watched him begin to actively cater to the other man, he instantly realized the severity of the situation.

The lives of both master and disciple were currently in someone else's hands.

If he dared reveal even the slightest trace of killing intent or hatred, the other party would certainly kill them both without mercy afterward.

His teacher's choice was the wiser one.

To remain absolutely rational even in such circumstances and choose the only path to survival—worthy of being Tang San's teacher.

Tang San took a deep breath and began imitating Yu Xiaogang, pretending to enjoy it and cater to the other man.

Wuhen's spatial soul skill was incredibly powerful. Every use could cross more than ten kilometers, and it seemed to have no cooldown at all.

Just as dusk arrived, the two had already reached a town on the outskirts of Sunset Forest.

Lin Chen did not hurry into Sunset Forest. He planned to rest in town for the night and enter after Wuhen had recovered his soul power.

[Changing fate successful. Please choose two rewards from the following.] [Changing fate successful. Please choose one reward from the following.]

The moment Lin Chen entered the hotel room, the system notification appeared.

There are actually three?

He had thought that for a script purely meant to torment people, the two of them combined would yield two rewards at most. It would have been normal even if he received none.

He had not expected an unexpected gain.

[Reward One: Gold Soul Coins ×10086.] [Reward Two: System-Bestowed Spirit Ring ×1.] [Reward Three: Teleportation Card. Teleport to a designated location within one hundred kilometers.] [Reward Four: Gold Soul Coins ×10010.] [Reward Five: Resurrection Card. As long as the soul remains, resurrection can occur on the spot. Even if the physical body is destroyed, it can be recreated.]

Seeing the Resurrection Card, Lin Chen narrowed his eyes.

This was practically the ultimate life-saving card. Compared to this, Ah Yin's soul bone skill was ridiculously weak.

System, I choose Two, Three, and Five.

The instant Lin Chen made his choice, the three items were stored in the system backpack.

System, begin editing.

"Recently, there has been no rain and the weather is scorching. Dugu Bo has to stay honestly at home and enjoy life."

[Editing complete!]

The script Lin Chen edited this time was very simple. He had written it purely for the rewards.

However, if he wanted to obtain rewards, the script had to possess a certain degree of plausibility, so he had not edited it recklessly.

It was currently September, the hottest time of the year.

Dugu Bo's backlash pain only erupted on cloudy and rainy days. Only when the backlash pain struck would he go to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

So long as the system could control the weather, he would basically have no chance of going to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

If Dugu Bo did not go to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, Lin Chen could sweep away all the heavenly treasures inside and naturally change the fates of Tang San and the others.

Lin Chen was greatly looking forward to it.

The Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well was tied to the fates of the Shrek Seven Devils and Yu Xiaogang. Without those heavenly treasures, their upper limits would be cut down drastically.

With such enormous and numerous changes to fate, how many rewards would the system give him?

Full of anticipation, Lin Chen took a comfortable bath. He did not even cultivate and went straight to sleep.

The next day, early morning.

Lin Chen and Wuhen ate breakfast early before entering Sunset Forest.

"Wuhen, look for a large toxic area."

Dugu Bo had set up his poison array outside the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well long ago, so finding its exact location was not difficult.

They only needed to find the area within Sunset Forest shrouded in poisonous mist.

Wuhen did not waste words and immediately began searching Sunset Forest with Lin Chen.

Although Wuhen was a Peak Douluo, Sunset Forest was not small. His spiritual power was not enough to cover the entire forest.

He could not even cover the core region.

It was nearly noon before the two arrived outside an area enveloped in poisonous mist.

But there were no more obstacles after that.

Before Wuhen, who possessed spatial soul skills, that so-called toxic area was far easier to cross than a small stream.

In the blink of an eye, the two entered the poison array.

Within the poison array stood a lone mountain that was not particularly grand. At the center of its summit was an inverted cone-shaped depression.

Lin Chen and Wuhen stood at the edge of the depression and looked down.

Water vapor filled the hollow, while the air carried a dense scent of realgar.

However, because it was daytime, they could vaguely make out the scene below, especially the red-and-blue yin-yang spring at the center of the hollow's bottom.

"Let's go."

With that single word, Lin Chen leaped straight toward the bottom of the hollow.

When he fell halfway down.

Golden wings suddenly spread from his back, and his rapidly descending body slowed sharply.

In the end, Lin Chen landed steadily at the bottom of the valley.

His gaze swept continuously over each heavenly treasure. The medicinal effects and harvesting methods of every single one matched his memories.

There was nothing in the entire Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well that he could not recognize.

As expected of something produced by the system.

Wuhen descended as well. Standing beside Lin Chen, he curiously examined the entire Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

"That spring is strange. It contains an extremely terrifying power of ice and fire. Even I might not be able to withstand those two forces."

Wuhen looked at the spring as he spoke.

Lin Chen smiled. "If it weren't for that, how would I get the chance to pick up such a bargain?"

Wuhen nodded and said no more.

Lin Chen took out the gold, iron, and jade knives he had prepared long ago from the system space and began harvesting the heavenly treasures around him.

Though there were many heavenly treasures, there were only three methods for harvesting them.

They had to be collected either with jade tools or with implements made of gold or iron. Otherwise, at best their medicinal properties would diminish; at worst, they would become worthless weeds.

Regardless of their age, Lin Chen collected every one of them, leaving only their roots and stems behind.

As time passed, the once lush Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well soon became completely barren.

In the end, only three immortal-grade herbs remained.

They were none other than the Star Anise Mysterious Ice Grass, Infernal Delicate Apricot, and Autumn Water Dew that Lin Chen would need shortly.

The first two could help him forge a golden body, while the latter could enhance his spiritual power.

Spiritual power and physique were the keys to whether he could withstand a Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring.

However, his foundation was too weak. He might not be able to directly reach the level required to bear a Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring. He would only know afterward.

Thinking this, Lin Chen hesitated no longer. With Wuhen's help, he immediately harvested the Star Anise Mysterious Ice Grass and Infernal Delicate Apricot and brought them together.

The moment the Star Anise Mysterious Ice Grass and Infernal Delicate Apricot touched, their ultimate ice and fire powers would disperse. That was the best—and only—time to consume them.

If he did not consume them now, their medicinal effects would soon dissipate.

Lin Chen stripped off his clothes, stuffed the two immortal herbs into his mouth, then jumped into the spring as the powers of ice and fire erupted within and around him simultaneously.
