Not every part of Sunset Forest was shrouded in poisonous miasma. At least, most areas were not much different from an ordinary Soul Hunting Forest.
Ling Jing saw quite a few soul beasts here as well, the most numerous of which were Soft Bone Rabbits.
These soul beasts were not particularly strong, but they reproduced extremely quickly. As a result, Soft Bone Rabbits could be found almost everywhere in Sunset Forest, from ten-year-old ones to hundred-year-old ones, and even those nearing a thousand years.
The vast majority of Soft Bone Rabbits ultimately became food for other soul beasts or humans who came to Sunset Forest to hunt soul beasts.
The Soft Bone Rabbits that survived would continue reproducing, endlessly and without cease.
To be honest, Ling Jing truly could not understand how Xiao Wu and her mother had cultivated to a hundred thousand years. Reaching a hundred thousand years was one thing, but Xiao Wu had somehow even become the boss of top-tier soul beasts like the Titan Giant Ape and Sky Azure Bull Python.
After roasting a Soft Bone Rabbit that had just passed a hundred years until it was golden brown and handing it to Ling Jing and Bibi Dong, Golden Crocodile Douluo coughed twice and spoke gently:
"Little Jing, we have already been in Sunset Forest for three days. We have seen pretty much everything there is to see. Shouldn't we consider hunting your third Soul Ring?"
"There are indeed fewer types of soul beasts in Sunset Forest that suit you. I think it would be better to go to Star Dou Great Forest to obtain your Soul Ring."
Hearing this, Bibi Dong nodded while eating the Soft Bone Rabbit. "Ordinary soul masters might be able to find satisfactory soul beasts by coming to Sunset Forest. But your martial soul is special, Little Jing. Star Dou Great Forest would be more suitable."
"Grandpa Golden Crocodile, I never expected your cooking to be this good!"
Bibi Dong praised him lavishly, finding the roasted rabbit exceptionally delicious.
Because Bibi Dong had performed outstandingly in Heaven Dou Imperial City, and because they had spent so much time together, Golden Crocodile Douluo's impression of Bibi Dong had greatly improved. Bibi Dong's way of addressing him had also changed from the respectful Worship at the beginning to Grandpa Golden Crocodile.
Hearing Bibi Dong's words, Golden Crocodile Douluo could not help laughing proudly.
"When this old man traveled the soul master world in his younger days, my roasted meat was enough to make quite a few people drool! I have not cooked personally in so many years, so I am still a little rusty."
Just then, Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan flashed over and landed beside Golden Crocodile Douluo, his gaze slightly grave.
"Second Worship, Old Ghost and I discovered a very strange poisonous miasma not far ahead. It stretches on without end, so neither of us dared to enter rashly."
Poisonous miasma?
Ling Jing, who had remained silent all along, suddenly brightened, a hint of excitement appearing in his eyes.
Beyond the poisonous miasma... perhaps lay the Icefire Yin Yang Well!
"Grandpa Golden Crocodile, I want to take a look near that poisonous miasma."
"Oh?"
Golden Crocodile Douluo glanced at Ling Jing, one brow lifting slightly.
But he did not refuse. He merely nodded. "Since Little Jing wants to take a look near the poisonous miasma, then let us go have a look."
"You two, lead the way."
Hearing this, Ghost and Chrysanthemum Douluo exchanged a glance before swiftly darting forward.
Very soon, under their guidance, everyone saw the layer of poisonous miasma.
Without Ling Jing needing to say anything more, Chrysanthemum Douluo's expression changed slightly, surprise and uncertainty appearing on his face.
"Hm? I seem to... sense an unusual aura. It appears to be within this poisonous miasma."
"Then we shall enter it."
Golden Crocodile Douluo smiled faintly and waved a hand. Vast Soul Power instantly enveloped Ling Jing and Bibi Dong.
Bibi Dong's current strength did not truly require Golden Crocodile Douluo's protection, but their relationship had grown much closer, so he simply included her within his protection as well.
After entering the poisonous miasma, visibility immediately worsened considerably. Yet with Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan leading the way and Golden Crocodile Douluo remaining constantly alert to their surroundings, the miasma ahead soon gradually thinned.
A mountain peak came into view.
Below it lay a valley, and a strange scent seemed to drift over faintly.
The sight in the distance completely drew the attention of everyone present.
In the distance was a hot spring giving off billowing steam, not particularly large in area. An invisible boundary divided its surface into two halves: one milky white like congealed cream, the other crimson like cinnabar. They mingled with each other, yet remained clearly distinct.
All around the spring grew all manner of rare and exotic grasses!
They had found the Icefire Yin Yang Well!
Joy immediately appeared in Ling Jing's eyes, while Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan beside him was already trembling all over, his gaze entranced and his voice excited.
"This is... Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum!"
"This is Aromatic Silk Beauty!"
"There is even Lovesick Heartbreak Red!?"
"And Eight-Petal Orchid, Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower, Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone... this place has everything!"
"Th-this... this is practically a fairyland!"
Ling Jing was not surprised by Chrysanthemum Douluo's inability to contain his emotions.
After all, his martial soul was an Immortal Herb. It was only natural for him to reveal his true feelings upon seeing these precious Immortal Herbs.
Seeing Yue Guan so excited, Golden Crocodile Douluo frowned slightly. "Yue Guan, what are these?"
Hearing Golden Crocodile Douluo's voice, Chrysanthemum Douluo calmed down somewhat. "Reporting to Second Worship, every one of these Immortal Herbs is exceptionally precious. Consuming them can strengthen one's foundation, cleanse the sinews and marrow, increase Soul Power, and even improve a soul master's cultivation talent!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a sharp gleam appeared in Golden Crocodile Douluo's eyes.
"Is that true!?"
"Absolutely true!"
Chrysanthemum Douluo said earnestly, "My martial soul is the Immortal Herb Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, so I have been obsessed with Immortal Herbs since childhood. You could say that I understand the effects of every Immortal Herb here. Every word is true; there is not a single falsehood!"
"Good! Good!"
Golden Crocodile Douluo could not help laughing aloud. His gaze swept across the entire Icefire Yin Yang Well, and he was in high spirits. "It seems this is an unclaimed land. Now that Spirit Hall has taken possession of it, it must be heaven's will!"
"Yue Guan, since you recognize every Immortal Herb here and know their effects, do you know how to cultivate them?"
"As long as these Immortal Herbs can continue endlessly and never cease, Spirit Hall will be able to prosper forever!"
As he spoke, Golden Crocodile Douluo subconsciously looked toward Ling Jing and Bibi Dong. "Among these Immortal Herbs, are there any suitable for Little Jing and Bibi Dong?"
Hearing this, delight immediately appeared on Bibi Dong's face.
"Reporting to Second Worship, I do indeed know how to cultivate them. As for which Immortal Herbs would suit the Holy Son and Holy Maiden..."
Chrysanthemum Douluo looked around, hesitation appearing on his face. "Please allow me to examine them carefully first."
Ghost Douluo spoke at the right moment. "Second Worship, discovering this fairyland is truly a blessing for Spirit Hall! Should I notify His Holiness the Pope?"
