After the three of them discussed matters, Yang Wudi and Yang Wushuang began absorbing the two Ten-Thousand-Year Ginseng Kings.
Holding the Ten-Thousand-Year Ginseng Kings, the two could not help clicking their tongues in admiration. These Ten-Thousand-Year Ginseng Kings were actually a foot long-and, well, thicker than white radishes.
Each holding his own Ten-Thousand-Year Ginseng King, they began munching on them like radishes.
After a period of cultivation, both had risen by two levels, bringing their Soul Power to level 83. However, Yang Wudi vaguely felt that he would soon break through to level 84. Moreover, after eating the Ten-Thousand-Year Ginseng Kings, their bodies' Qi and blood had returned to peak condition. The blood throughout their bodies seemed to boil, and their Soul Power had become more condensed.
With the family now possessing aromatic silk beauty as well, both had hopes of breaking through to Titled Douluo within ten years. When that happened, the Breaking Clan would truly rise.
The next day, Yang Zhentian brought his wife, Niu Jinfeng, into the secret chamber.
Yang Zhentian also described this Soul Hunting trip to his wife in detail, including their discovery of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. Of course, he had drastically rewritten the specific details.
Then he took out the earth dragon golden melon he had prepared for his wife in advance.
After accepting the earth dragon golden melon, Niu Jinfeng agreed without another word and absorbed it on the spot. Her Soul Power rose to level 70, but most astonishingly, her Martial Soul actually evolved. Her original Martial Soul, the Plate-Armored Giant Rhinoceros, evolved into a Primordial Dragon Rhinoceros, and her strength increased considerably as well.
Early on the third morning, after Niu Jinfeng entrusted her daughter to fellow clanspeople, Yang Wudi, Yang Wushuang, Yang Zhentian, and Niu Jinfeng left the Breaking Clan and headed straight for Sunset Forest.
As for Dugu Bo and Dugu Xin, who had come for treatment, their conditions had stabilized, and they had already left. Both sides had communicated and agreed that if any further problems arose, they would come to the Breaking Clan for treatment immediately.
This time, the four did not take a carriage. They activated their Soul Power and ran swiftly instead.
When the four arrived at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Yang Wushuang and Yang Wudi were both stunned. From now on, this place would be the Breaking Clan's foundation.
Meanwhile, Niu Jinfeng considered how to renovate the cave entrance. After weighing several options, she finally decided to block the entire entrance with a huge boulder, create a small hidden door in a gap, and add several ventilation holes.
She also used building materials to join the boulder to the stone walls of the entrance, making them seem like a single whole.
Next, she worked on the concealing boulder itself, covering its entire surface with plants.
Just like that, the entire Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was completely concealed. Even someone carefully feeling around at close range would be unable to detect anything different. The boulder and the entire mountain seemed like a single whole, looking just like an ordinary little hill.
The hidden door received special treatment, making it impossible for outsiders to find. It was also fitted with a mechanism and a concealed lock. Without both the knowledge of how to activate the mechanism and the key, opening the door would be impossible.
After several days of work, the renovation of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well's entrance was complete.
Over those days, the brothers Yang Wudi and Yang Wushuang carefully tended to the medicinal herbs within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. They dug up and took away many medicinal herbs and poisonous plants, planned out the grounds of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, and replanted many herbs.
Once they finished, Yang Zhentian was promptly dragged off by his father and second uncle. "Son, tell us honestly. Just what did you and Podi find in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well? We come from a family of medicine refiners. Of course we know better than anyone whether this soil has been disturbed."
Yang Zhentian was speechless for a moment. "Dad, Second Uncle, we really didn't find anything. Haven't we already given you all the good stuff?"
Yang Wudi immediately flew into a rage. "You unfilial son! I'm your father. It's not as though I'd snatch your things. I only want to take a look. What, you won't even allow that?"
Although Yang Zhentian really wanted to tell them, he still held himself back. "Dad, I really don't have anything left. All the good things we found have already been given to everyone to eat."
"Son, don't think I don't know. The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well is one of the greatest blessings under heaven. By rights, it should contain countless immortal herbs. How many have you brought out so far?"
Yang Zhentian was deeply troubled, but suddenly his eyes flashed as he thought of a solution. "Dad, I really don't have any immortal-grade herbs on me. After I obtained the aromatic silk beauty, I went into a frenzy just like you did. Your grandson seemed to dig up quite a few things and take them away then. I don't know exactly what he got, but they did seem pretty valuable."
Yang Zhentian decisively sold out his own son. Yang Wudi and Yang Wushuang doted on their grandson, so surely they could not snatch their own grandson's things?
"What did you say? Podi has them? How can a child like him safeguard such valuable things? What if someone steals them? What kind of father are you? Zhentian, go back and find my grandson. Have him bring them out for now. We'll only study them, not use them. We'll return them to him in the future."
Hearing this, Yang Zhentian could not help grumbling inwardly. I finally managed to toss the blame onto my son, only for it to come right back to me in the blink of an eye.
However, judging by his father and uncle's expressions, they probably would not let the matter rest. He could only say helplessly, "Dad, Second Uncle, let's go back first and discuss it then."
In total, five days passed, including the time spent handling the herbs and disguising the entrance. Five days later, the four were ready to leave the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
From now on, the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well would belong exclusively to the Breaking Clan-or rather, exclusively to the Breaking Clan's direct line. The Breaking Clan would stand firm and never fall. This place would also become the Breaking Clan's greatest secret.
Niu Jinfeng also made three keys to the hidden door. She gave one to Yang Wudi and Yang Wushuang, one to her husband, and intended to reserve the last one solely for her son, leaving Yang Wudi and Yang Wushuang speechless.
Next came the matter of hunting for Soul Rings. The four searched Sunset Forest for several days before finally finding suitable Soul Rings for Yang Zhentian and Niu Jinfeng.
Since both had absorbed immortal-grade medicinal herbs and greatly improved their physiques, the Soul Rings they chose were also relatively old.
Yang Zhentian found a seventy-thousand-year-old Scarlet Ghost White Tiger, while Niu Jinfeng found an Iron-Armored Demon Bear over forty thousand years old. The Soul Beasts they chose suited their respective attributes extremely well. The Scarlet Ghost White Tiger possessed tremendous offensive power, while the Iron-Armored Demon Bear had astonishing defensive power. Both of their strengths increased considerably.
Yang Zhentian reached level 82, while Niu Jinfeng reached level 73. Evidently, the earth dragon golden melon had contained a great deal of energy, which simply had not shown because Niu Jinfeng had yet to absorb a Soul Ring.
Unfortunately, neither of them obtained a Soul Bone.
At this point, the Breaking Clan had three Soul Douluos, along with seven Soul Saints, greatly increasing its overall strength. In particular, once the other Soul Saints took the pills refined from nine-grade purple ganoderma, their strength would grow in an explosive surge.
After finishing their Soul Ring hunt, the four began their journey back to the Breaking Clan.
