Chapter 8: Heading to Sunset Forest, Yue Guan finds the wondrous Sky-Piercing Chrysanthemum.
"It is now the Heaven Dou Empire, and it will naturally belong to my Spirit Hall in the future!"
Qianxunji said calmly.
"Besides, even if Sunset Forest belongs to the Heaven Dou Empire, there's no rule prohibiting Soul Masters from entering, is there?"
With that, Qian Xunji led Dugu Bo and Yue Guan Guimei out of Wuhun City and headed towards Sunset Forest.
In the forest at sunset.
Dugu Bo sensed the faint poisonous mist around him and a satisfied expression appeared on his face. He casually grabbed a ferocious beast and extracted some toxins from its body, which he then played with continuously!
"Even the air here smells of poisonous fumes!"
Dugu Bo appeared very relaxed; he liked the environment here.
Qian Xunji led the group forward. The further they went, the thicker the poisonous fog became, eventually forming a poisonous miasma.
"With such a dense layer of poisonous fog, an ordinary Soul Master probably wouldn't last long inside!"
Yue Guan spoke up.
Dugu Bo's emerald green vertical pupils were fixed on the poisonous miasma ahead. "Poisonous miasma has even formed ahead. Could it be that we have reached the source of the poisonous fog?"
As the group passed through the poisonous fog, the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire appeared before them.
Dugu Bo slowly stepped forward and stood beside the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye. He could feel streams of deadly poison slowly rising from the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye and eventually spreading into the air.
He reached out to collect some of the toxins, but an alarm bell rang in his mind, and his hand froze in mid-air.
On the other side.
Yue Guan and the others had no interest in the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire. He wandered around aimlessly, when suddenly he began to tremble, his eyes fixed on the unripe yellow flower not far away.
"That is..."
Ghost noticed Yue Guan's unusual behavior and went to investigate.
"Yue Guan, what's wrong?"
Yue Guan exclaimed excitedly, "Old Ghost, I've found the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum! I've found it!"
Following Yue Guan's gaze, Gui Mei indeed spotted a rare and beautiful chrysanthemum swaying in the wind. He and Yue Guan had been searching for this for decades and could recognize it at a glance!
"Great! Yue Guan, the flaw in your martial soul can now be corrected!"
The ghost was so excited that it was about to go forward and pick the flower.
"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and take it off!"
Yue Guan quickly stopped him, "Old ghost, don't move! The Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum isn't mature yet; it's not a celestial product!"
at this time.
Dugu Bo was engrossed in studying the poisonous mist of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye, while Yue Guan stood motionless, staring at the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum.
Before arriving, Qian Xunji had anticipated this situation, so he wasn't too surprised when he saw this scene.
"Your Holiness! I want to stay here!"
"Your Holiness! I want to stay here!"
Dugu Bo and Yue Guan spoke at the same time, and everyone could hear the eagerness in their voices.
The ghost asked in surprise, "Yue Guan, you're staying?"
"I'll wait here for the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum to ripen!"
As he spoke.
Yue Guan knelt on the ground, excitedly pleading, "Your Highness, please grant my request!"
Dugu Bo stared at Yue Guan in shock. He hadn't expected Yue Guan to interrupt him. Wasn't he supposed to be here today to find a suitable place for him?
Qianxun said quickly, "Yueguan, I know how you feel, but it will probably take more than ten years for this Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum to mature into a celestial product. Are you going to stay here for more than ten years?"
"this..."
Yue Guan hesitated. He hadn't thought that much about it; he was only focused on waiting for the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum to mature.
Qianxun said quickly, "This place is filled with poisonous miasma, and ordinary people cannot enter. Even if they do, they probably wouldn't recognize this Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum."
"Dugu Bo will stay here to study the toxins and keep an eye on things. He'll be fine!"
Yue Guan nodded. It was unrealistic to expect him to stay here for more than ten years. After all, he was not alone, and the Spirit Hall would not allow it!
"Your Holiness, I was reckless."
Yue Guan said.
Qian Xunji understood Yue Guan's feelings and naturally did not blame Yue Guan.
As long as Yue Guan picks the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum before Tang San comes in, everything will be fine, especially since Tang San hasn't even been born yet!
Dugu Bo then said, "Elder Ju, rest assured, I will add another layer of poisonous miasma here to protect this Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum."
If Yue Guan hadn't recognized this immortal herb, Dugu Bo would have had no idea of the existence of the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum. Who would have thought that an immortal herb could be nurtured here?
"If that's the case, are the other flowers also magical herbs?"
"That's when Ghost said it."
Qian Xunji nodded and said, "Yes, so this important task should be entrusted to Elder Dugu."
"All the major powers on the continent are watching the Spirit Hall's every move. It's not convenient for us to station too many people here, otherwise it will attract too much attention!"
Dugu Bo said, "Your subordinate will definitely protect this place!"
As Qian Xunji and the other two were preparing to leave, Yue Guan kept looking back at the location of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye.
"Old Poisoner, you absolutely must protect the Curious Mushroom Sky-Piercing Chrysanthemum!"
Yue Guan held Dugu Bo's hand tightly, reassuring him with concern.
Dugu Bo immediately said, "Don't worry, I'll add another layer of poisonous miasma there tonight, and I guarantee no one will be able to get in!"
"Okay!" Yue Guan nodded and walked outside again.
After walking a few steps, Yue Guan turned to look at Dugu Bo, "Is one layer of poisonous miasma enough? What if the soul beasts inside rush in?"
"Elder Ju, rest assured, I will clear out all the high-age soul beasts in Sunset Forest tomorrow."
Dugu Bo immediately replied.
"Um."
Yue Guan continued to follow Qian Xunji outside.
After walking all the way to the exit of Sunset Forest, Yue Guan turned around again.
"I'm still worried!"
Dugu Bo immediately said, "Elder Ju, I live near the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well! I will personally guard it!"
"Thank you!" Yue Guan nodded again, looking back at Dugu Bo every three steps, her face full of reluctance, like a young wife who was reluctant to leave home.
The ghost said helplessly, "Chrysanthemum, that's enough. Are you going to keep doing this for the next ten years or so?"
"I hope that rare and beautiful chrysanthemum matures soon!" Yue Guan couldn't help but say, "Longing is too painful!"
A moment later.
"Your Holiness, this is not the way back to the Spirit Hall!"
The ghost asked in confusion.
Qianxun said quickly, "We've finally managed to get out here, let's wander around!"
Qian Xunji went directly to the nearest town to stay, where he looked at the news from the Spirit Hall in his room.
"Tang Hao and Tang Xiao are actually near Heaven Dou City? Their reputations are growing louder and louder; some people are already calling them the Haotian Twin Stars?"
"The two haven't met Ah Yin yet..."
"If I intercept Ah Yin, who will Tang Hao marry? Will Tang San still be the same Tang San?"
Qianxun murmured.
The Spirit Hall's secret report vanished in his hands, and he lay down on the bed and fell asleep.
In another room.
Yue Guan couldn't sleep no matter what she did, her mind constantly preoccupied with that unripe Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum!
