The Sunset Forest is one of the two most famous soul beast forests on the Douluo Continent. Located in the central region of the Heaven Dou Empire, it naturally falls far short of the Star Dou Forest, which spans two great empires, in every aspect. Even so, it is still an extremely renowned location for hunting soul beasts.
At this moment, under Dugu Bo's guidance, Yun Chuan had arrived at the Sunset Forest. As for his purpose, it was naturally to seek the great opportunity recorded in the original story that lay hidden within this forest.
Led by Dugu Bo, the two first passed through dense woodland, then through poisonous mist, and finally entered a deep cave. After a long journey, the scenery suddenly opened up, revealing a completely different world!
A precipitous mountain peak appeared before them.
"It's just ahead," Dugu Bo said, taking the lead.
He walked up the mountain path as if on flat ground. Although he seemed to move slowly, each step carried him more than ten meters forward, and every step was extremely steady. As he climbed, it was as though he were rising vertically into the air. Yun Chuan naturally refused to be outdone and followed closely behind, his body seeming weightless as he floated upward along with him.
Under Dugu Bo's guidance, the two reached the mountaintop. Yun Chuan discovered that, just as described in the original work, there was an inverted-cone-shaped depression. The mountaintop where they stood was the edge of this depression. Thick heat surged up from within, moist and heavy, carrying a faint smell unique to sulfur.
"Such strange terrain—truly a feng shui treasure land!" Yun Chuan couldn't help but exclaim.
Dugu Bo glanced at him and said, "It's down there. Follow me!" With a movement of his body, he leapt directly off the dark, bottomless edge of the mountain before them.
Yun Chuan did not hesitate and jumped down as well.
...
Dugu Bo and Yun Chuan landed almost simultaneously in a valley. A nearly mist-like energy rushed toward them from all directions!
"This…"
Although he had long read descriptions in the original work, when Yun Chuan saw it with his own eyes, he still couldn't help but marvel at the wonders of nature.
In the center of the valley before them was a small lake. Steam rose from its surface, making it look like a hot spring.
However, this hot spring was completely different from ordinary ones. It was divided into two parts. In the oval-shaped pool, the colors of the spring water were milky white and crimson red. Even more astonishing was that although they existed within the same pool, they were clearly separated, never encroaching upon each other, always staying on their respective sides.
The rolling steam rose from the boundary between the two springs, continuously ascending until it slowly dissipated near the mountain opening above.
"The Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eyes! It's actually the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eyes!"Although he already knew this, Yun Chuan still pretended to be extremely shocked on the surface, as if he had never expected it.
"The Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eyes? Are you referring to this pool?"Seeing his astonished expression, Dugu Bo couldn't help asking, "Junior, is there something special about this pool?"
Only then did Yun Chuan seem to come back to his senses. Turning to Dugu Bo, he sighed, "Senior, you're really guarding a treasure mountain without realizing it! To think you actually found such a precious place."
"Oh? You mean this place is extraordinary?" Dugu Bo asked with curiosity upon seeing his expression.
"Extraordinary? Far more than that! This is a treasure basin rarely seen in the world!" Yun Chuan said excitedly.
"A treasure basin?" Dugu Bo was puzzled.
"The so-called treasure basin doesn't refer to money or vulgar wealth, but rather a treasure basin for medicinal herbs—a special natural environment. In such an environment, ordinary plants simply cannot grow because they cannot adapt to the unique climate. But it is the birthplace of all rare and precious plants."
Yun Chuan flaunted his knowledge and continued excitedly, "Moreover, this place can shorten the growth time of rare plants by a factor of ten. Simply put, if a lingzhi grows for ten years in any of the three great treasure basins, it will have the effect of a hundred-year lingzhi."
"Plants grow ten times faster!"After all his explanation, Dugu Bo sharply caught the most crucial sentence.
"Exactly. That's why this is such a treasure land!"
Yun Chuan nodded, then looked at the various extraordinary medicinal herbs growing around the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eyes and sighed, "And most importantly, many of the herbs growing here are extremely rare immortal-grade herbs. Each one has miraculous effects. They can even allow soul masters to undergo a complete transformation and evolve their martial souls!"
"What?! They can evolve martial souls?!"Hearing this, Dugu Bo was also excited. When he looked at those immortal herbs again, his gaze became extremely greedy, as if he wished he could swallow them all.
"Don't get too happy yet."Seeing how excited he was, Yun Chuan quickly poured cold water on him. "Although immortal herbs are good, they cannot be consumed recklessly. These immortal herbs that seize the essence of heaven and earth—each person can consume at most one or two, that's the limit. Moreover, the herbs must match one's own martial soul attributes in order to have the effect of evolving the martial soul. Eating them blindly can get you killed."
A bucket of cold water poured down.
Dugu Bo also calmed down and realized the key point. To say he didn't know these unknown herbs were precious would be a lie. Just by their appearance, he could tell they were extraordinary. But since he didn't know their effects, how could he dare to eat them casually?
Now, after hearing Yun Chuan's detailed explanation, Dugu Bo immediately understood that Yun Chuan definitely knew the effects of these herbs and how to use them properly. His old face instantly bloomed like a chrysanthemum, and he stepped forward, saying, "Well… Little friend Tang Chuan…"His form of address directly changed from "junior" to "little friend."
Given Dugu Bo's age of eighty or ninety, calling Yun Chuan "little friend" was hardly taking advantage of him—it sounded more intimate instead.
"Senior Dugu, originally I only intended to form a good relationship with you. But after seeing this treasure land, I've changed my mind," Yun Chuan said casually.
Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo's expression changed drastically. He retreated instantly, his soul power surging violently. He thought Yun Chuan had developed greedy intentions after seeing this treasure land and wanted to kill him to seize it.
"Senior, there's no need to be so nervous."
Seeing Dugu Bo retreat far away and immediately enter a state of martial soul possession, clearly ready to fight, Yun Chuan calmly waved his hand and said, "I have no ill intentions."
"Then what do you mean?!"Dugu Bo's face was gloomy, and he did not lower his guard. If this weren't a medicinal garden where unleashing full power might destroy everything, he wouldn't have wasted time talking—he would have already used his ultimate techniques.
"Let me introduce myself again."
Yun Chuan tidied his clothes, then placed his hand beside his face. Instantly, his entire face became blurred, transforming into what looked like a crystal mask.
"I am Yun Chuan!"
He gently removed the mask, revealing a flawless, peerless face. With a slight smile, he said,
"I am currently the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall!"
