48: Chapter 48 The Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well Must Be Visited
Thinking of this, Gui Mengguan immediately smiled at Thousand Jun Douluo and Demon Subduing Douluo, casually spinning a lie he had already prepared: "So that's how it is. I also happened to find a tattered ancient book in a mezzanine of the Spirit Hall library. It only had a few sparse lines written on it, saying that deep within the Sunset Forest, there is a blessed land called the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, which hides Heaven And Earth Treasure. It is just protected by a powerful natural Formation, and ordinary people cannot find the entrance at all. Only when time passes and the Formation naturally fails can one enter. I thought it was some famous Secret Realm; I didn't expect that even the two grandfathers hadn't heard of it."
"A tattered ancient book from the Spirit Hall library?" Demon Subduing Douluo raised an eyebrow and looked at Thousand Jun Douluo, his eyes carrying a hint of contemplation.
The Spirit Hall library's collection was vast as the sea, especially the core collection area of the Consecration Hall, which indeed contained many fragmented texts passed down from ancient times. Many records of Secret Realms were only brief snippets. Since the two brothers had been stationed at the Consecration Hall for years and rarely touched these miscellaneous notes, it was normal that they hadn't heard of it.
Thousand Jun Douluo frowned slightly and said in a deep voice: "Although the Sunset Forest is not considered a top-tier dangerous location, deep inside there are thousand-year and ten-thousand-year Spirit Beasts entrenched, making it fraught with danger. Even if there really is some blessed land protected by a natural Formation, it is not something you can touch right now."
"Don't say that, my two dear grandfathers!"
Qiangu Jue was the first to be unable to sit still. He loved to adventure everywhere, and upon hearing about a blessed land, his eyes instantly lit up: "It's just the Sunset Forest, right? With the two of you here, let alone thousand-year Spirit Beasts, even ten-thousand-year Spirit Beasts cannot hurt us! Let's just go take a look. Even if we can't find the entrance, we can just treat it as a Spirit-hunting training experience!"
"That's right!"
Oupai immediately chimed in: "If there really is a blessed land recorded in ancient books, then it is an Opportunity for our Spirit Hall, so we should naturally go and take a look. Even if we can't find it, there is no loss."
Gui Mengguan also chimed in softly: "Two grandfathers, let's just go take a look. We absolutely won't run around, and we will listen to all your arrangements."
Alternative also spoke at the right moment, his tone calm but carrying an unquestionable certainty: "Two grandfathers, I also think we should go take a look. If there really is such a treasure land, it would be a great pity to miss it; if it is just a mistake in the ancient books, we can just treat it as a training experience, which would not be inappropriate."
He had already started calculating in his heart.
Having arrived through Transmigration, he brought with him all the ultimate skills of his previous Life's Tang Sect: Hidden Weapons, poison techniques, alchemy, and Internal Skill Mind-Cultivation Technique, all complete.
Over these years in Spirit Hall, although he had masked much through his talent, he could not keep covering up this knowledge that far exceeded his peers. Where it came from would eventually be discovered and questioned one day.
At first, he could say it was a sudden inspiration, or that he had learned it by looking at some knowledge in the library, but this excuse could not last too long after all.
If the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well really existed, then everything would have a perfect explanation.
When the time came, he could completely say that he had found an Immortal Cave left by a predecessor within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, which contained the classics and Legacy of the Tang Sect, and all his knowledge originated from there.
In this way, not only could he perfectly explain his origins, but he could also openly use all the ultimate skills of the Tang Sect, never needing to hide or find other excuses again.
Moreover, those immortal-grade herbs in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well also held an irresistible attraction for him.
Whether it was the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, the blazing apricot delicate, or the Yearning Heartbroken Red and Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng that could reshape one's Physical Body, each one could make his path of Cultivate go more smoothly.
The four children spoke one after another, pestering them, their eyes full of anticipation.
Thousand Jun Douluo and Demon Subduing Douluo looked at each other, both feeling somewhat helpless.
These four children were the future Foundation of Spirit Hall, the precious darlings held in the palm of the entire Sect's hand. Let alone just going to take a look at the Sunset Forest, even if they wanted to go to the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest, the two would have to follow and protect them.
Moreover, with the two of them there, they could absolutely guarantee the four children's safety.
"Fine, fine."
Thousand Jun Douluo finally relented, waving his hand and saying: "Since you all want to go, then we will first go to a nearby city to rest for a day, and tomorrow morning, we will go to the Sunset Forest. I'll say the ugly words first: once we arrive at the place, you must listen to all our arrangements and absolutely are not allowed to run around on your own, do you hear me?"
"Heard you! Thank you, grandfathers!" The four children responded in unison, their eyes lighting up.
Gui Mengguan, Qiangu Jue, and Oupai looked at each other, seeing smiles in each other's eyes.
Whether or not they could get the immortal-grade herbs was one thing, but occupying the position first and figuring out the situation of the Formation was never wrong.
This first Opportunity of the Douluo Continent, no matter what, they had to grasp it in their hands first.
Meanwhile, Alternative leaned against the carriage window, watching the scenery flying backward outside, his fingertips gently rubbing together, a trace of anticipation flashing in his eyes.
The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, the perfect excuse for the Tang Sect Legacy, and those immortal-grade herbs that could change one's destiny in a Heaven-Defying way...
This trip to the Sunset Forest, he had to go.
Qiangu Jue was the first to jump up from his seat, spinning the Coiling Dragon Rod in his palm with a neat flourish, and spoke excitedly: "Great! Thank you, Grandfather Demon Subduing! Let's not go back to Spirit City and take a detour; let's go directly in the direction of the Sunset Forest. Let's first go to the nearby Locke City to rest for one night, prepare enough supplies, and go directly into the forest tomorrow morning. How much simpler that is!"
"That's right!"
Oupai immediately nodded in agreement, flipping his fingertips, and a small, exquisite Godly Zhuge Crossbow Spirit appeared faintly in his palm, the mechanism of the crossbow making a crisp clicking sound, "Going back to Spirit City and returning would waste three days; there's no need."
Gui Mengguan also chimed in, smiling as he looked at the two Titled Douluo: "Grandfather Thousand Jun, Grandfather Demon Subduing, the children all want to go see it sooner. Anyway, with you two here, the outskirts and the middle of the Sunset Forest have absolutely no danger, so just let us have our way, okay?"
Alternative also nodded gently, and a few strands of Blue Silver Grass with golden patterns appeared in his palm, the leaves swaying gently: "Two grandfathers, I also think it is more appropriate to go directly. My Blue Silver Grass can sense the surrounding Life's aura, avoiding Spirit Beasts in advance, and can also provide Life enhancement for everyone, so there won't be any problems."
The four children spoke one after another, their eyes full of anticipation.
Thousand Jun Douluo and Demon Subduing Douluo looked at each other, both seeing helplessness in each other's eyes.
These four children were the apple of the Sect's eye, each one spoiled and very opinionated, but what they said made sense.
With the two men's strength, protecting the four children into the Sunset Forest would indeed cause no trouble.
"Fine, fine, I can't win against you little brats."
Demon Subduing Douluo waved his hand and laughed helplessly, "Then we will first go to the nearby Locke City to rest and enter the Sunset Forest tomorrow morning. I'll say the ugly words first: once in the forest, you are not allowed to leave our side by even half a step, do you hear me?"
"Heard you! Thank you, Grandfather Demon Subduing! Thank you, Grandfather Thousand Jun!" The four children responded in unison, their eyes lighting up.
The carriage immediately changed direction and drove towards Locke City.
In less than half a day, the group arrived at this bustling city that had recently risen.
The two Douluo, Thousand Jun and Demon Subduing, were generous, directly booking the best hotel in the inn, and then letting the four children go to purchase the supplies they needed.
Oupai didn't have anything he liked to buy, just looking at the scenery casually; Qiangu Jue picked out handy camping equipment and anti-poison powder; Gui Mengguan pulled Alternative along and bought quite a few jade boxes that could store plant samples, preparing for the upcoming trip to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
