Half an hour later.
At this moment, on the banks of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
Dugu Bo sighed and paced back and forth anxiously, occasionally glancing at the red and blue interwoven lake beside him, his face filled with worry.
"Oh, my Young Miss,"
Suddenly, he couldn't help but complain to Xiao Rui'er, who was not far away:
"How could you be at ease letting him go down alone?"
He pointed at the surging lake water in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, his voice filled with lingering fear, "Do you know? Even I can't withstand this lake water if I go down! He… he… sigh…"
Hearing this, Xiao Rui'er pursed her lips, looking a little at a loss.
"Don't worry, that kid consumed immortal-grade medicinal herbs from your place, and the spring water in the lake won't harm him." Although a little displeased, the Red King still patiently explained.
Dugu Bo still wasn't reassured, saying, "But didn't you say there were other things down there?"
"What if he goes down and can't come back up?"
"I even offended Tang Hao for him…"
At this point, a hint of resentment flashed in Dugu Bo's eyes. If Tang Chuan really died down there, then his investment would be a complete failure, and he would have also offended many powerhouses.
"Old man, can you stop nagging? My Young Miss even gave him the golden dragon spear. What could possibly happen to him after he goes down?" The Red King was getting annoyed, saying very unhappily.
"If you keep nagging, I'll hit you!"
Hearing this, Dugu Bo's beard trembled with anger, but he dared not say anything more.
However, just then, a loud splash was heard.
The water of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well suddenly splashed several feet high, and a blue-gold figure shot out from it, then landed steadily on the bank.
"Finally got the Dragon Core and came out."
Wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, Tang Chuan couldn't help but smile.
"Kid, are you alright?" After seeing Tang Chuan's figure, Dugu Bo's eyes lit up. He flashed, instantly appearing in front of the latter, nervously scrutinizing him.
"I'm fine." Shaking his head, Tang Chuan flicked the water droplets from his hair.
Immediately after, he turned his gaze to Xiao Rui'er, who was not far away, and nodded slightly.
"Rui'er, thank you. Everything went smoothly; I've already obtained the Dragon Core."
As he spoke, he lightly tossed the golden dragon spear in his hand, which drew a golden arc in the air and finally landed precisely in Xiao Rui'er's hand.
Xiao Rui'er also nodded slightly, and said softly, "It's good that everything went smoothly."
Stretching, Tang Chuan scanned the surroundings again and noticed that someone seemed to be missing. He frowned slightly, asking in confusion, "Where's Ling Ling?"
Dugu Bo patiently explained, "Don't you remember? Before refining Medicinal Pills for me, you already gave her the Medicinal Pill used to evolve her Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul. She is currently still in my cave absorbing the energy from the Medicinal Pill. After all, that girl's Soul Power is only around level forty, and her physical quality is far inferior to mine, a Titled Douluo, so naturally, her absorption is slower."
At this point, he suddenly looked up at the sky.
"However, she should be almost done absorbing it."
A profound look flashed in Tang Chuan's eyes as he surveyed the surrounding Secret Realm that had nurtured countless immortal-grade treasures. His voice was decisive as he said, "Since that's the case, let's quickly pack up. Once Ling Ling finishes absorbing, we'll dig up all the ripe immortal-grade medicinal herbs here and take them with us."
"Tang San has already discovered this place; who knows when he might sneak in again. And we can't guard this place all the time."
Tang Chuan's gaze swept over the exotic flowers and plants radiating various colored halos. He then walked to an immortal-grade medicinal herb and gently pulled it from the soil.
"The immortal-grade medicinal herbs here take at least ten thousand years to mature. Once we dig them up and take them away, even if Tang San comes back, he won't get a single hair."
Dugu Bo was slightly stunned by these words, a pained expression appearing on his face, but it quickly turned into helplessness as he nodded and said:
"Alright… no matter what, we can't let that kid Tang San benefit from it."
...A few hours later, everyone successfully returned to Heaven Dou City.
A majestic building stood before them, its grandeur astonishing.
The towering courtyard walls were made of white jade, gleaming with a warm luster in the sunlight.
Above the wide arched entrance hung a gilded plaque covered in red cloth, and on either side of the entrance stood more than ten carved stone pillars, each engraved with different Martial Soul patterns.
The complex stretched for several miles, with teaching buildings, training grounds, and dormitories visible in a well-arranged manner. Glazed tiles shimmered with colorful light on the eaves, and Martial Soul Guiding Lamps were neatly arranged along the long corridors.
