Chapter 140: Tang Hao and Tang San Take Action

The bright moon hung in the sky.

"Tang San, come out." Tang Hao's voice came.

Tang San immediately woke from his cultivation, got up, walked out of the courtyard cautiously, and followed the guidance of the voice to a small forest at the foot of the mountain.

He had Qin Ming to thank for choosing this courtyard for them; there was a separate path behind the courtyard that led directly to the foot of the mountain, which made Tang San's coming and going quite convenient.

"Tang San, how did a Title Douluo end up in your academy?" Tang Hao's worried voice came.

"Dad, it's Dugu Bo..." Tang San then explained.

"Hahaha, good!" Tang Hao chuckled, "I was still worrying about Dugu Bo's whereabouts, and now this has just given us an opportunity."

"Dad, what do you mean?" Tang San's eyes lit up.

Tang Hao nodded slightly, "I have Dugu Bo, that old fellow, to thank for this. When I was searching in the Sunset Forest today, I happened to sense his aura. He was heading out of the Sunset Forest at the time. I searched in the opposite direction and discovered an area surrounded by a poison array. If nothing goes wrong, the treasure land you speculated about should be within the range of that poison array."

"That works. Perhaps I overlooked something; if you go, you might discover something unexpected." Tang Hao nodded.

Tang San then explained the unique aspects of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to Tang Hao.

"No problem." Tang Hao grabbed Tang San and leaped up violently. The mountain range gradually shrank, and bright purple light suddenly flashed in Tang San's eyes.

"That is? Heat?" Tang San's eyes lit up. Looking again, it was exactly the hill where he had discovered the cave. He hurriedly said, "Dad, go there."

"However, I snuck in to investigate a circle and didn't find anything special."

Half an hour later, Sunset Forest, the mountain range surrounding the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

"This... there is actually a mountain hollow hidden here?!" Shock appeared in Tang Hao's eyes. The location of this mountain hollow was very unique; if one hadn't climbed to the top of the mountain, it would have been impossible to discover.

"Why don't we go down and take a look?" Tang Hao grinned, grabbed Tang San, and leaped down. As they descended, Tang Hao's powerful soul power spread out, gathering around them to prevent any sudden accidents.

Tang Hao pointed at the hill where the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was located, and as he spoke, he brought Tang San into the cave.

He grabbed Tang San and disappeared into the night.

"This, this is..." Tang San looked at the scene before him, his body trembling involuntarily from excitement. He never imagined that the treasure land he had speculated about would be the legendary Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

Arriving outside the cave, Tang San looked around. After a brief moment of thought, he said, "Dad, can you take me to the high altitude to look around?"

Purple light flickered in Tang San's eyes as he scanned the cave, but he did not find any abnormalities within it.

"Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. This is actually the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well?"

"The area covered by the poison array is only these few hills. I patrolled it once and only found a cave halfway up this mountain peak. It looks like it was excavated by Dugu Bo."

"Dad, is it far? Can you take me to see it?"

The Purple Demon Eye scanned everything below earnestly, not letting a single abnormality slip by.

"This Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well is actually so unique? No wonder it can nourish so many rare treasures." Tang Hao nodded and looked around, "Tang San, there are quite a few herbs here. It seems Dugu Bo doesn't know the uses of all the Immortal Herbs."

"Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well? Tang San, are you talking about the pool in the middle?" Tang Hao looked at Tang San in confusion.

"There is a hot spring in here!" Tang San said excitedly, "It looks like the treasure land should be down below."

"There's nothing in the cave, and I've looked at the nearby mountain ranges and valleys, and didn't find anything special."

"That's right!" Tang San nodded excitedly, crystalline purple intent gathering in his eyes, "Every herb here is extremely precious. Besides ordinary herbs, there are many Immortal Herbs."

As he spoke, Tang San immediately began to search. Before long, Tang San's excited voice came over, "Found it!"

Tang Hao walked over quickly, "What did you find?"

"The Breath-Restraining Grass has been found!" Tang San excitedly dug out the ink-colored grass that looked plain and ordinary on the ground by its roots.

"This is the Breath-Restraining Grass? It looks too ordinary, doesn't it?" Tang Hao looked at the Breath-Restraining Grass in Tang San's hand with surprise and doubt.

"The Breath-Restraining Grass looks ordinary, but its effect is the real deal." Tang San put away the Breath-Restraining Grass in his hand as if it were a treasure.

Tang Hao looked at the dazzling array of Immortal Herbs all around and then asked, "What about the others?"

"This golden chrysanthemum is called Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum, suitable for Mu Bai, and this orchid, called Eight-Petaled Immortal Orchid, is suitable for Oscar..."

Tang San had been constantly reviewing his knowledge of various Immortal Herbs in his mind during this time, so he could identify these Immortal Herbs and Spirit Herbs almost at a glance.

While speaking, Tang San immediately took out harvesting tools from his Twenty-Four Moonlit Bridges and began to harvest.

Tang Hao urged in a low voice, "Tang San, the energy here is unique. Move faster; if you delay too long, I'm afraid it will damage your body."

"I know, Dad." Tang San then accelerated the movements of his hands.

Half an hour later, Tang San looked at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well beneath him with reluctance and left helplessly.

There was no help for it; his body was about to be unable to withstand the impact of the ice and fire energy. If he stayed any longer, his foundation would be damaged.

"Tang San, you're ruthless enough with your hands."

Tang Hao looked at the mess below and couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle.

Although it was only half an hour, Tang San had harvested almost more than half of the herbs in the Medicine Garden.

"If you want to blame someone, blame Dugu Bo for being blind." Tang San chuckled.

"Hahaha, that's right. Since he doesn't know how to use them, we'll help him." Tang Hao laughed, "But the problem now is, if you all consume the Immortal Herbs and your strength improves, Dugu Bo will inevitably suspect you when he discovers the Immortal Herbs are missing."

"Don't worry, Dad. I also prepared an Immortal Herb for Ning Rongrong. When the time comes, we'll drag the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect into this. Even a Title Douluo like Dugu Bo wouldn't dare to fall out with both you and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect at the same time."

"I naturally have no fear of Dugu Bo alone, but this Dugu Bo doesn't care about his reputation. I'm afraid he might take action against you."

"If that's the case, then we have even less to fear. Dugu Bo has to consider his granddaughter, if not himself."

Tang Hao shook his head, "We must still take precautions just in case."

Taking advantage of the night, Tang Hao brought Tang San and quickly returned to the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy.

Along the way, Tang San was constantly neutralizing the clashing water and fire forces within his body.

The next day, after training ended, everyone returned to the courtyard to rest, and only then did Tang San gather everyone together.

"Tang San, what's the matter? Why make it so mysterious?" Dai Mubai put his arm around Tang San's shoulder and asked curiously.

"Good stuff!" Tang San chuckled. After confirming that the surroundings were safe, he took out a large chrysanthemum from his Twenty-Four Moonlit Bridges.

"What is this?" Dai Mubai asked first, and the others were also attracted by the plant Tang San had taken out.

"Immortal Herb!" Tang San gently spat out the two words.

This, however, took everyone present by surprise.

"Tang San, is this Immortal Herb similar to the kind Shi Quan ate?" Yu Tianheng asked, his eyes gleaming as he looked at the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum in Tang San's hand.

"The effects of Immortal Herbs vary, but they are not all that different."

"I prepared this Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum specifically for Boss Dai; consuming it circulates Qi through the four limbs, clears the eight extraordinary meridians, and can forge an indestructible body of diamond."

"For me?!" Dai Mubai's figure jolted violently, and he looked at Tang San in disbelief; because of Shi Quan, he had already heard of the reputation of Immortal Herbs.

"Not just you, I have prepared one for every single one of you." Tang San smiled as he took out one Immortal Herb after another.

Oscar's Eight-Petaled Immortal Orchid.

Ning Rongrong's Tulip of Romance.

The Immortal Herbs for the three of them were no different from the original work.

As for Ma Hongjun's Immortal Herb, it was no longer the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower; Shi Quan had not extracted the medicinal power from this herb, so naturally, he would not leave it for Tang San to give away as a favor.

The Immortal Herb Tang San prepared for Ma Hongjun was called the Moon Essence Starry Sky, which had the special effect of purification and strengthening the foundation.

In his view, Ma Hongjun's Evil Fire Phoenix was simply not pure enough, which was why he helped him choose this Immortal Herb; the herb's medicinal properties were neutral, and it might just help Ma Hongjun resolve the issues with his martial soul.

Yu Tianheng's Immortal Herb was also one for strengthening the foundation, called the Primordial Immortal Grass.

All the attribute-based Immortal Herbs in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well had been completely collected by Shi Quan, leaving behind mostly these herbs for strengthening the foundation and Marrow Cleansing Scripture.

Some of these had been extracted for medicinal power three times over, and there was not much medicinal power remaining.

As for Xiao Wu, her Immortal Herb was naturally the Breath-Restraining Grass; the Breath-Restraining Grass only possessed one function: to hide one's own aura. Consuming it would not increase one's strength, and furthermore, the Breath-Restraining Grass was similar to Ye Lingling's Snow Jade Holy Lotus in that it could not conceal those who had absorbed the aura of an Immortal Herb.

After much hesitation, Tang San chose a very special Immortal Herb—or rather, it would be better to call it an evil herb—named the Soul-Devouring Flower.

Its flowers and leaves were bright and beautiful, but the more beautiful something is, the more dangerous it often is.

This Soul-Devouring Flower was exactly like that; it possessed an extremely strong ability to Devour, especially liking to consume dark things, such as toxins and corpses.

This Immortal Herb was specifically left for Tang San by Shi Quan; in reality, Shi Quan had left more than one choice for Tang San, and this Soul-Devouring Flower was the only one among the herbs he left that had not had its medicinal power extracted.

Yet, Tang San had chosen this Soul-Devouring Flower without bias or preference.

Perhaps even the Automated Alchemy Furnace felt that the Devouring ability of this Soul-Devouring Flower was too dark and evil and not suitable for the Blue Silver Grass's Devouring ability, which was why it had not extracted the medicinal power of this herb.

Tang San, however, felt that the Soul-Devouring Flower's Devouring ability was not only suitable for his Blue Silver Grass, but when combined with his Soul-Devouring Eight Spider Lances, the Devouring ability of his Blue Silver Grass would certainly see a qualitative improvement.

This was also one of the main reasons why he resolutely chose this Soul-Devouring Flower.

Time passed, second by second, and everyone was immersed in the absorption of their Immortal Herb's medicinal power, save for one person whose expression grew increasingly painful...
