I Want It All
Let's turn our attention back to the Red Dust Mansion on the Sun Moon Continent.
After showing Jing Hongchen and the others his current Martial Soul, its appearance after Martial Soul Possession, and all the enhancements it provided, Bao Liang went to the study with Jing Hongchen and explained the purpose of his trip.
"Grandpa Jing, I'm planning to visit the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well."
The room fell silent instantly.
Jing Hongchen frowned, scrutinized Bao Liang for a long time, and then slowly asked, "Are you really only planning to go alone?"
Bao Liang nodded without hesitation. "Yes, Grandpa Jing, I must go alone."
"Why?" Xiao Hongchen couldn't help but ask, "With a few of us following along, at least we'll have more options."
Bao Liang shook his head, his expression becoming extremely serious.
"With my current strength, even Limit Douluo wouldn't stand a chance."
"The Victory Dragon Emperor gave me an unparalleled mechanism and terrifying stats, while the Heaven-Hunting Lion Mastiff gave me a deterrent effect that ignores Soul Power Level and even more terrifying lightning stats."
"To put it simply, unless it's Di Tian or someone from the Divine Realm, there's no one who can pose a threat to me."
"If you have anything to say, go tell my numbers."
"We're all trying so hard to live, and I'm trying so hard, how come you're still alive?"
Bao Liang spoke calmly, yet his tone carried an undisguised confidence.
Jing Hongchen almost spat out his tea.
"You brat, can you please stop spouting such nonsense!"
Bao Liang just grinned and continued, "Grandpa Jing, the reason I only brought myself is because I'm worried Tang San might attack you."
"No matter how crazy Tang San is, he wouldn't dare to attack me directly. I have two God King watching me from behind."
"If Tang San dares to lay a finger on me, those two God King will definitely settle accounts with him immediately."
"But you are different."
"You are people I care about. If I bring you along, and Tang San gets desperate and tries something drastic against you, I'll end up neglecting one thing for another."
Jing Hongchen remained silent for a long time, finally sighing and nodding, "What you said makes sense."
He was a shrewd and experienced man, and naturally understood that Bao Liang's words were the key point.
Bao Liang is no longer the greenhorn he once was.
What he carries on his shoulders has long surpassed that of the Hongchen Clan and even the Sun Moon Empire.
"But you better remember this, kid," Jing Hongchen said sternly, "If you dare go to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and don't come back for more than half a month, I'll take Little Meng and the others and use Level 9 Fixed Soul Guidance Shell to wipe it out!"
"Understood, Grandpa Jing," Bao Liang replied quickly.
"And one more thing!" Jing Hongchen hesitated, her eyes filled with reluctance, "You'd better come back as soon as possible! If you dare stay even one more day, I'll dismantle all the Soul Tool in your room!"
"Hiss--! Grandpa Jing, you're being too harsh!" Bao Liang Bao Liang face. "Fine, fine, I'll try to go and come back as soon as possible."
In fact, Bao Liang knew very well that he had to set off as soon as possible.
The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well is not located elsewhere, but deep within the Sunset Forest near Heaven Dou City.
In the original novel, Tang San had already laid out numerous measures around the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well in order to cultivate Huo Yuhao, and even planted the Jade Phosphorus Seven-Absolute Flower and Jade Phosphorus Nine Absolute Flower, turning that area into a living hell.
If an ordinary person accidentally enters this place, they will be poisoned and die instantly.
But for Bao Liang, it saved him the trouble of going through all the trouble of finding an entrance.
The places with the highest concentration of poisonous gas are often the passages leading to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
As long as you follow the direction where the concentration of poisonous gas is most terrifying, you will surely reach the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
Furthermore, Bao Liang's body had already been transformed by the tempering of the Power of Creation.
Ordinary poisons couldn't touch him at all, and the poisonous mist from the mere Phosphorus Flower was nothing more than a tickle to him.
The most crucial element is time.
He had to arrive at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well before Huo Yuhao.
In the original novel, Huo Yuhao went to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well only after "exchanging ideas" and being guided by the brocade pouch left by Tang San.
However, various unexpected events have occurred during the competition. He Caitou and he has been captured and brought back to Sun Moon. The relationship between Shrek and Sun Moon has been completely broken.
That so-called "exchange" has most likely completely fallen through.
But Huo Yuhao was ultimately a chosen one.
Since Tang San had already regarded the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well as a stepping stone for training Huo Yuhao, how could he possibly give it up now?
Bao Liang knew very well that Tang San would most likely send Huo Yuhao to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well ahead of time.
Bao Liang was also fully aware of what Huo Yuhao would do after arriving at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well Bao Liang Well.
When he first went to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, the young man was extremely humble. He spoke earnestly to the Aromatic Silk Beauty, repeatedly saying, "I only ask for one herb to cure Wang Dong'er, and I will not take more than that."
Even after he took the Blazing Glue from Infernal Delicate Apricot and half a Silk Beauty Pill from Aromatic Silk Beauty, he still righteously returned the items intact.
But when I went back a second time, they were a completely different person.
He swept away almost all the immortal Immortal Herb in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, haphazardly putting them together to make a batch of "Universe Creation Pill," completely forgetting the promises he had made.
Anyone else probably wouldn't have done it as cleanly and efficiently as him.
Bao Liang didn't want to compete with Huo Yuhao.
What that kid does is his business, as long as it doesn't bother me.
The problem is, you get what you pay for – first come, first served.
Now that he knew this lucrative opportunity would eventually be exploited, why would he willingly let someone else reap the benefits first?
Moreover, apart from those few Immortal Herb that were crucial to Meng Hongchen, Bao Liang didn't even bother with the other 100,000-year-old Immortal Herb in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
Aromatic Silk Beauty, Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, Infernal Delicate Apricot... in his eyes, they were nothing more than a group of "pigs" that had been raised in captivity for ten thousand years.
In terms of combat prowess, he's probably not even as good as Cheng Gang from the Star Luo City auction back then.
It's just lung fog, nothing to worry about.
The only thing to be wary of is whether Tang San has left his divine consciousness inside the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
In the original novel, Tang San never explicitly stated that he had any residual divine consciousness in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
Even in the era of "The Legend of the Dragon King," it was still the Aromatic Silk Beauty Immortal Herb drove the remnant soul of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings to fight off enemies.
If Tang San Sanzhen had retained his divine consciousness here, he would never have allowed the Immortal Herb to control the situation to that extent.
But Bao Liang always believed in the principle of "better to be extra cautious than to take any risk."
He is now being watched by the Destruction God King and the Life God King, and his Divine Trial mark is constantly connected to those two divine powers.
If Tang San dared to harbor any thoughts towards him, the two God King would immediately sense it.
At that time, Tang San can expect to be hacked to pieces by the two God King working together.
As for the abridged version of the "Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record" that Tang San left at the Aromatic Silk Beauty, Bao Liang was quite interested.
Although it's a censored version, it still retains some of the essence of the Mysterious Heaven Skill.
If we take it back, study it a bit, and make some improvements, it might be used to enlighten the next generation of disciples at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy in the future.
With this in mind, Bao Liang decided not to linger any longer.
Before dawn, he quietly left the Red Dust Mansion and headed straight for the Sunset Forest.
"Teacher, do you think I can take the entire Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well with me?" Bao Liang asked silently to himself, turning to Electrolux in his Spiritual Sea of Consciousness.
Electrolux's phantom immediately appeared, his tone quite confident. "Don't worry, with your little world here, taking away an entire rare treasure land will be a piece of cake."
"That's good." A glint of light flashed in Bao Liang's eyes. "Then take them all."
Now that he had made up his mind to come, he naturally wouldn't just take a few mere Immortal Herb.
All the rare and precious materials within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, and even the entire Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well...
He wants Bao Liang Liangquan!
