After hearing Skydream Ice Silkworm's answer, Mu Yunye was even more shocked. This place was practically a natural cultivation ground suited for soul beasts, even more powerful than the Lake of Life.
"With a place like this, who needs the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well..."
Mu Yunye laughed.
"Yunye."
An affectionate call came from behind him. Mu Yunye turned around and saw Hu Liena smiling at him. In truth, the two held special statuses: he was the Holy Son of Wuhun City.
Hu Liena, meanwhile, was the Holy Maiden.
Thus, in the eyes of many, perhaps Mu Yunye and Hu Liena were the pair destined for each other.
"How strange... Why have I never seen a Spirit Field here before? The natural spiritual energy is so dense!"
Hu Liena exclaimed in astonishment.
"This place can be used to cultivate certain special plant-type Immortal Herbs, and I happen to know of a place."
A plan formed in Mu Yunye's heart.
As though it had seen through his thoughts, the system issued a new mission at that moment: [Mission issued: Bring back Immortal Herbs growing at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well for Wuhun City to cultivate. Reward upon completion: increased rare metal resources, one Elite Soul Engineer Corps, Icefire Dragon King Bloodline body tempering!]
"Looks like I have to make a trip to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well."
Mu Yunye smiled. He did not believe those Immortal Herbs would not be tempted after learning of such a place.
At any rate, he was tempted by the generous system rewards.
Mu Yunye then gathered some soil from the Spirit Field and carried it with him. Hu Liena watched curiously. "Yunye, what are you..."
"It will be useful."
Mu Yunye grinned and asked Hu Liena, "Nana, what did you need me for?"
"Teacher asked me to bring you to the Consecration Hall. She said there is an important matter she wishes to discuss with you." Hu Liena spoke in a serious tone.
"Alright, let's go."
Mu Yunye and Hu Liena walked side by side. Her gaze drifted to him from time to time, and Hu Liena could not help but lose herself slightly. Ever since Mu Yunye had become Wuhun City's Holy Son, every one of his shining qualities had constantly drawn her in.
But she also understood that the gap between herself and Mu Yunye was far too great. It was not something that their seemingly equal statuses as Holy Son and Holy Maiden could make up for!
"Aunt Dong, we're here."
Mu Yunye and Hu Liena arrived at the Consecration Hall. When Bibi Dong saw the two walking side by side, the thought that they were well matched inevitably arose in her heart. However...
She laughed bitterly to herself.
Although Hu Liena was already exceptionally gifted, her daughter Qian Renxue was even more outstanding. Then again, Douluo Continent had never stipulated that one could only have one partner.
"I should let these children develop on their own..."
Bibi Dong said softly.
She called Mu Yunye over. At this moment, Qian Daoliu, Golden Crocodile Douluo, and the others had all gathered here. Seeing this, Mu Yunye's tone became more solemn. "What happened?"
"The Star Luo Empire has sent an invitation, asking Wuhun City's decision-makers to attend a meeting. The subject of the meeting is Wuhun City itself. It sounds like a goodwill discussion, but..."
Bibi Dong sneered coldly. "They would never be so kind. They are probably trying to force us into compromise with the power of an entire nation."
Golden Crocodile Douluo's voice was low.
"In their eyes, we have a level ninety-eight Super Douluo holding the fort, but our foundation is ultimately that of a single city. They believe we would not dare wage a large-scale war against an entire nation."
After gaining a basic understanding of the situation, everyone looked toward Mu Yunye.
"Yunye, what are your plans?"
Mu Yunye gave a cold laugh. "Attend the meeting, then... intimidate everyone. We will also show them the most advanced soul tool technology of this era that we now possess."
"As long as they yield and wish to purchase or trade soul tools with us, we will gain the initiative. Wuhun City will inevitably grow ever larger as well."
Qian Daoliu nodded, finding Mu Yunye's method excellent. "Good. Then, Golden Crocodile, accompany Yunye on this trip. I will have Subduing Demon and Thousand Jun go with you as well. The three of you will travel together."
"Even if the other side has an Ultimate Douluo, you will still be able to retreat safely."
"Yes, Big Brother."
Golden Crocodile Douluo replied gravely.
"By the way, Grandpa Qian, where are Sister Xue and Guyi?"
Mu Yunye asked.
"Xue is helping that child Guyi awaken the nearly abandoned Angel bloodline within her. The only Angel bloodline remaining in this era has become so faint, but it should allow her to regain the Six-Winged Angel Martial Spirit."
Qian Daoliu let out a faint sigh. The karmic consequences of ten thousand years ago had become the shackles and retribution driving the Angel Clan toward extinction in this era!
"It is good that it can be restored."
Mu Yunye nodded lightly. He then sought out Yue Guan and Porcupine Douluo alone, wanting the two to accompany him to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well in Sunset Forest.
Yue Guan was a plant expert, while Porcupine Douluo was proficient in all manner of deadly poisons. With the two of them helping, passing through the poisonous miasma outside Sunset Forest would pose no problem.
The two agreed without hesitation.
Gui Mei could not bear to part with Yue Guan, so he secretly followed them as well. To this, Mu Yunye could only say: "..."
"Holy Son, what are we going to Sunset Forest for? Isn't that where that old poison freak lived in seclusion ten thousand years ago?"
At the mention of Dugu Bo, Yue Guan's feelings were somewhat complicated. Not long ago, he had seen Dugu Bo, yet now they were separated by life and death, and it was all because of the passage of ten thousand years.
"Do you remember the Yearning Heartbroken Red you saw when you tried to intercept Tang San, as well as the aura of the Qirong Skytong Chrysanthemum you sensed from Dai Mubai?"
Mu Yunye asked.
"Could it be..."
Yue Guan was startled.
"That's right. Those Immortal Herbs grow in a place within Sunset Forest called the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. The Yearning Heartbroken Red you regard as the king of flowers now has two plants growing there."
Mu Yunye smiled.
"Damn! Why didn't you say so sooner? Let's hurry!"
Yue Guan's gaze abruptly became frenzied, a fervor akin to religious zealotry. Gui Mei and Porcupine were both speechless. Could this guy not show a little restraint?
"Hey, hey, Yunye, you need to make time to come with me to the Far North. I have an enormous opportunity prepared for you there!"
Skydream Ice Silkworm's voice rang out in his mind.
"..."
Mu Yunye fell into thought. Skydream Ice Silkworm had indeed brought him the rudimentary form of ultimate ice elemental power, so if Ice Empress joined him, he could even condense a third Martial Spirit. But the journey was too far...
"Skydream, after the talks with the Star Luo Empire are over, I'll go with you to the Far North. How about it?"
Only then did Skydream Ice Silkworm nod in satisfaction.
"Mm-hmm, now that's more like it!"
Mu Yunye also sensed Electrolux within his sea of spirit. He still seemed to be in slumber, but his aura had become somewhat steadier. He likely would not awaken anytime soon.
