Chapter 200: Returning to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well
After seeing Flander and Zhao Wuji off, Yu Tianlin waited a little longer before his grandfather finally stepped out of the room.
Yu Tianlin did not know what they had discussed inside, but judging from Yu Yuanzhen's slightly relaxed expression, he had clearly achieved what he came for.
Yu Tianlin walked up and asked in a low voice, "How did it go, Grandpa? Did you convince Second Uncle?"
"Mm." Yu Yuanzhen nodded slowly. "Tianlin, you must not reveal anything about the twin Martial Souls, or the 100,000 year Spirit Beast in human form, in the future."
Yu Tianlin understood immediately.
So those were the terms. Yu Yuanzhen would keep Tang San and Xiao Wu's secrets, and Yu Xiaogang would return to the clan.
Yu Tianlin was speechless.
Even if Yu Xiaogang had grown close to Tang San and Xiao Wu after spending 7 years with them, could that really outweigh the bond between father and son?
Second Uncle always stood on the side of outsiders. For Grandpa to have a son like that, it must be exhausting.
"So what now?" Yu Tianlin asked after a moment. "Do we just take Second Uncle back?"
"No rush." Yu Yuanzhen shook his head. "Your second uncle is worried about his students. He plans to return after they graduate. Let him be."
Then Yu Yuanzhen could not help smiling. "Besides, based on what you said, they'll be expelled from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy tomorrow, then choose to join the Blue Tyrant Academy."
Fine. They were letting Yu Xiaogang return, yet he still treated it like a trap waiting for him.
Tomorrow, Dugu Bo would make a move and force Shrek Academy's people to retreat. When that happened, Yu Xiaogang would understand exactly how valuable a strong backer could be.
As for the situation at Blue Tyrant Academy, Yu Tianlin was already aware of it. Last time, Yu Tianxin had dropped out and run there. The clan used that as an excuse to meddle in the academy's affairs and make minor adjustments. Liu Erlong did not resist, so everything proceeded smoothly.
"It's too late," Yu Yuanzhen said. "Let's not stay here and disturb their rest."
Having finally settled things with his stubborn son, Yu Yuanzhen was in a good mood.
"Let's find somewhere to stay for the night."
With the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's influence, the Star Luo Empire was uncertain, but within the Heaven Dou Empire, nearly every city had a clan office. Heaven Dou City, the capital, naturally had one as well.
Yu Yuanzhen brought Yu Tianlin directly to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's Heaven Dou City office, and they spent the night there.
The next day, Yu Tianlin planned to head to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well again, just as he originally intended. But because of Tang Hao, Yu Yuanzhen was not comfortable letting him go alone, and suggested they travel together.
After thinking it over, Yu Tianlin agreed.
To be honest, he was also wary of Tang Hao targeting him again. With his grandfather beside him, at least he could stop worrying about being ambushed.
More importantly, the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well had a place where pure dragon power continuously overflowed. That might be useful to Yu Yuanzhen too, so bringing him there was necessary.
As for Yu Yuanzhen, as the clan head still running around like this, it was not really an issue either. Yu Tianlin had already learned that Yu Yuanzhen had handed all clan affairs to his father. With his second grandfather, another Titled Douluo, guarding the clan, Yu Yuanzhen could roam around claiming he was "searching for inspiration for a breakthrough," and the elders could not do much about it.
And Dugu Bo's attitude did not matter much anymore. There were no more herbs left in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, and his poison problem had been resolved. He had basically let that place go.
In the original story, Tang San led Shrek Academy's group to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and even used Dugu Bo's poison array to deal with Spirit Beasts. Later, he brought his father, who had lost his hands and feet, there to recuperate. He even planted his mother, who had become a blade of grass, there, and Dugu Bo never objected.
So it was perfectly natural for Yu Tianlin to bring Yu Yuanzhen along.
In fact, with the relationship between Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan, Yu Yuanzhen would be connected to Dugu Bo by marriage sooner or later.
With that settled, Yu Tianlin led Yu Yuanzhen to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
Originally, Yu Tianlin had planned to swallow an antidote pill to pass through the poison array. But under Yu Yuanzhen's protection, they entered without any trouble at all.
Even if Yu Yuanzhen swallowed Dugu Bo's Jade Phosphorous Serpent King Poison, it would not seriously affect him, much less a poison array. To him, it might as well not exist.
"So this is where you got your herbs." After entering the valley, Yu Yuanzhen looked around and could not help praising it. "A true treasure land blessed by fortune. No wonder it nurtured so many rare herbs."
He then looked toward the twin springs.
"And these 2 pools, one extreme heat and one extreme cold. Even I would suffer trouble if I touched them carelessly. Incredible."
"This spring isn't that useful to us," Yu Tianlin said.
Seeing Yu Yuanzhen studying the Yin Yang Well with such interest, Yu Tianlin could only pull him back. "Grandpa, come with me first. Look at this place."
As he spoke, Yu Tianlin led him toward the area where dragon power overflowed.
"This spot constantly releases extremely pure dragon power." Yu Tianlin said. "Grandpa, try it. See if it helps you, maybe it can push you higher."
"Oh?" Yu Yuanzhen placed his hand on it with some doubt.
The moment he did, his whole body trembled. He closed his eyes and carefully felt it.
After a long while, he opened them again, excitement flashing through his gaze.
"This dragon power is purer than anything I've ever encountered," Yu Yuanzhen said. "Even absorbing a true dragon Spirit Ring probably wouldn't give power at this level."
Of course.
This was where the Ice and Fire Dragon King had fallen. The pure dragon power here came from that existence. In the dragon hierarchy, the Ice and Fire Dragon King stood only beneath the Dragon God and the Gold and Silver Dragon Kings. Naturally, it was far beyond ordinary true dragons.
Unfortunately, Yu Yuanzhen's excitement quickly faded into regret.
"It's no longer useful to me," he said. "Absorbing dragon power won't raise my Spirit Power cultivation. It can only improve my dragon transformation. But my dragon transformation is already perfected."
He clenched his hand slightly, his tone turning heavier.
"My body is filled with a large amount of lower level dragon power. Replacing it with the pure dragon power here would be slow and troublesome, and there's a high chance it would even lower my Spirit Power level."
Hearing that, Yu Tianlin could not hide his disappointment.
The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's greatest priority was to push Yu Yuanzhen even higher. But if the overflowing dragon power could not help, then his grandfather could only rely on his own cultivation.
