Jin Yang was well aware that whenever Qian Renxue traveled, Porcupinefish Douluo and Snake Lance Douluo would inevitably hide in the shadows and protect her at all times.
Every move the two of them made upon heading to the Spirit Hall would definitely be right under the noses of the two Titled Douluos.
Therefore, as long as they went to the Spirit Hall, even if they did not get to see Qian Renxue.
Qian Renxue would undoubtedly know about the fact that they had come to visit.
And thus, she would not immediately set off back home.
In less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.
Jin Yang and Lin Zhen had already arrived at the entrance of the Spirit Hall.
Porcupinefish Douluo had already discovered the two of them long ago, and at this moment, he was knocking on Qian Renxue's door.
"Young master, are you asleep? The dean of the Plant Academy and the great enshrined's disciple have come looking for you."
In the blink of an eye, Qian Renxue tidied herself up, dressed in a simple outfit, and walked out of the room.
"Hmm? Elder Porcupinefish, do you know if they have any urgent matters coming so late?" Qian Renxue felt doubtful in her heart and asked Porcupinefish Douluo.
Porcupinefish Douluo shook his head. "After I discovered that they had arrived at the entrance of the Spirit Hall, I came to call for the young master."
At that moment, a deacon walked briskly up the stairs.
The two of them looked over.
"Your Holiness Porcupinefish Douluo, Her Grace the Saintess, Lord Jin Yang, and the Plant Academy dean have come searching, saying they have important matters to discuss."
"Lead the way," Porcupinefish Douluo indicated with a nod.
"Greetings, Your Holiness Porcupinefish Douluo."
"Greetings, Elder Porcupinefish."
Arriving at the council hall, Lin Zhen and Jin Yang each greeted Porcupinefish Douluo in turn.
Porcupinefish Douluo nodded slightly in response, yielded the floor to Qian Renxue, and retreated to the side.
Qian Renxue cleared her throat and slowly began to speak, "Uncle-disciple and the dean have come to seek me out again so late, might there be some urgent matter?"
Jin Yang briefly stated the purpose of their visit.
After hearing it, Qian Renxue furrowed her brows slightly and pondered for a moment.
"As far as I know, a few years ago when Poison Douluo had just become a Titled Douluo.
His Holiness the Pope saw that Poison Douluo had no clan forces behind him, and once dispatched Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo to recruit him.
Regrettably, it ultimately ended in failure."
Right at that moment, Porcupinefish Douluo, who had just retreated to the side earlier, stepped forward.
"If you wish to explore that patch of poison miasma in the Sunset Forest, this old man can help."
Porcupinefish Douluo spoke with confidence, "My martial soul is the blowfish. Although I am not a pure poison-attribute Soul Master, this old man is immune to all poisons, impervious to every toxin, and even toxins serve as my nourishment, available for my cultivation. Mere poison miasma, it is nothing more than a portion of sustenance for this old man."
"Then I must trouble Elder Porcupinefish." Jin Yang cupped his hands slightly to express his gratitude.
"Think nothing of it. If there truly is a treasured land within, the Spirit Hall will naturally count a share of the credit to this old man. Even if there is no treasured land, simply that poison miasma stretching for miles upon miles can be considered a major harvest for this old man."
Porcupinefish Douluo laughed and directly took on this task.
He looked all ready to set off immediately.
"Elder Porcupinefish, there is no need to rush. Setting off tomorrow is not too late either. After all, that poison miasma has grown there for many years and will not suddenly grow legs and run away. Rest first and build up your energy before setting off, wouldn't that achieve twice the result with half the effort?"
"Tonight it was me and the dean who intruded. Since this matter has already been reported to Her Grace the Saintess and Elder Porcupinefish, we shall take our leave for now."
Jin Yang did not linger. Since the matters had already been explained, he and Lin Zhen left the Spirit Hall together.
Early the next morning, Porcupinefish Douluo, Snake Lance Douluo, and Qian Renxue had already appeared at the Plant Academy.
However, this time they did not alert any students, but instead came directly to the training grounds where Jin Yang and Qian Renxue had executed their Martial Soul Fusion Skill last time.
Dean Lin Zhen and Jin Yang were waiting for them right there.
"Since everyone is here, let us set off."
Snake Lance Douluo and Porcupinefish Douluo walked through the air.
Lin Zhen's martial soul was the dandelion. Although it was a plant martial soul, it was one of the few plant martial souls that allowed a Soul Master to travel through the air.
He was seen summoning his martial soul and using a soul skill. In an instant, a gigantic dandelion burst forth from the ground, and Lin Zhen seated himself upon the dandelion as it slowly rose into the air.
Qian Renxue spread her six wings behind her, gave a gentle flap, and her entire body soared up into the sky.
Flying mid-air, she looked down towards Jin Yang and extended her hand out to him.
"Come, Uncle-disciple Jin Yang, take hold of my hand." Qian Renxue's skin was fair and tender, her fingers long and slender, and her entire hand looked just like an exquisite piece of craftsmanship.
Qian Renxue was undoubtedly beautiful. Under the morning sun, her beauty carried a sacred air, akin to a goddess.
"Mm!"
Jin Yang grabbed Qian Renxue's hand in a single motion, and Qian Renxue exerted a slight bit of force, pulling Jin Yang into her embrace.
Jin Yang felt a fragrance brush against his nose, soft fabric pressing tightly against his own, making him not dare to move randomly.
Fortunately he was only thirteen years old, so it would not cause people to overthink things, and whatever reactions he had would not be too easily noticed.
Damn it, he had to admit, a new pump really works well.
However, Jin Yang's surface remained composed, showing not a shred of abnormality.
The group flew very quickly and soon arrived near the poison miasma.
Porcupinefish Douluo sniffed the air.
He raised a hand to halt the others.
"Everyone can just wait here, I will go take a look first. This old man has already confirmed it is undoubtedly the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison.
Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison is incomparably virulent. You must be careful and not approach the poison miasma to avoid being poisoned."
Porcupinefish Douluo had tasted countless poisons; a light sniff at the tip of his nose was enough for him to know this was the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison, which smelled carrying a trace of a snakey stench.
Porcupinefish Douluo soared into the air once more, plunging headfirst into the poison miasma.
About the time it takes to burn a stick of incense.
Porcupinefish Douluo returned to the side of the group.
At this moment, his complexion was rosy and his face beamed with joy.
Before he even spoke, he could not help bursting into loud laughter.
Seeing this scene, Lin Zhen knew that there was definitely a treasured land inside here, and moreover an extremely precious one.
This caused his heart to grow inevitably heated.
"Young master! Inside this poison miasma, there truly is a treasured land."
Porcupinefish Douluo brought back good news.
Porcupinefish Douluo's good mood infected everyone else; Qian Renxue's brows relaxed, and a trace of a smile blossomed on her face.
It was an expression of utter certainty-after all, a place that Titled Douluos maintained by the Spirit Hall both unhesitatingly called a treasured land, how bad could it possibly be?
"It is a pity that we cannot withstand the fierce toxicity right now and cannot go in to take a look..."
"Young master, please rest assured. If that Dugu Bo does not return in these few days, this patch of poison miasma will definitely allow this old man to drink his fill. Once it is all sucked clean by then, the young master will be able to enter and exit freely."
Porcupinefish Douluo patted his withered chest, full of confidence.
"Then I shall trouble Elder Porcupinefish." Qian Renxue turned her head to look at Myth Douluo. "Elder Snake Lance is fast, so I must ask you to return to the Worship Hall, report the matters of this place to the Great Enshrined and Second Worship, and additionally bring two guardian teams of Elder Hall Soul Masters to come garrison and guard this place."
"Understood, young master." Snake Lance Douluo acknowledged, turned around, and departed.
With Porcupinefish Douluo and the peak Soul Douluo Lin Zhen present, Jin Yang and Qian Renxue were not nervous either. After all, among Soul Masters, counters meant everything; having just broken through to Titled Douluo not long ago, Poison Douluo was absolutely no match for a veteran Titled Douluo like Porcupinefish Douluo who countered him.
