Douluo Continent: Disciple Tang San, righteous yet evil

Chapter 47 Ice and Fire Eyes

"Teacher Lin Mu, with your abilities, the previous treatment was truly negligent."

Meng Shenji bowed slightly, saying with a hint of apology, "Starting today, your salary will be increased to 20,000 gold soul coins per month. At the same time, you will have full authority over all affairs of the Royal Fighting Team, and the academy will not interfere!"

The other two education commissioners nodded in agreement.

A month ago, they learned that Lin Mu was the youngest Soul Saint in the entire continent, and that he also possessed a 10,000-year fourth Soul Ring and a 100,000-year seventh Soul Ring.

These facts alone have overturned their understanding and are enough for them to win them over at all costs.

Unexpectedly, Lin Mu's strength was far more than just that of a Soul Saint; he actually possessed the power to defeat Poison Douluo.

Although Poison Douluo is at the bottom among Title Douluos, he is still a Title Douluo, and the nearly 20-level difference in soul power is enough to crush almost everything.

Most importantly, Lin Mu is only twenty-two years old. He will probably be able to break through to Soul Douluo in two or three years and to Title Douluo within ten years.

In other words, Lin Mu was able to break through to the Title Douluo level at the same age that Qin Ming was before he broke through to the Soul Emperor level.

This is unimaginable!
"Then thank you very much, the three education commissioners." Lin Mu nodded slightly.

Previously, his monthly salary was 5,000 gold soul coins, but now it has quadrupled, amounting to 240,000 gold soul coins a year. At least he no longer has to worry about money.

As for the management of the Royal Fighting Team, this will allow him to better organize the team.

However, compared to the treatment offered by the three education commissioners, there are more important things to do right now.

That is the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire!

In Dugu Bo's herb garden, there is a pile of celestial herbs that are comparable to cheat codes. Any celestial herb you pick is worth far more than the three soul bones from the Soul Master Competition.

After all, soul bones cannot help soul masters transform or improve their talents, but immortal herbs can!

During this time, Lin Mu had considered making a deal with Dugu Bo, offering to help him detoxify in exchange for obtaining a divine medicinal herb.

To his utter surprise, this guy actually delivered himself to his doorstep, saving him a lot of trouble.

After this battle, the problem of the backlash of the martial soul of Dugu Bo's lineage no longer needs to be solved, and all the immortal herbs in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well have become his spoils of war.

From this perspective, Xiao Wu inadvertently did him a great favor.

At this moment, Dugu Yan finally broke free from Yu Tianheng's obstruction and rushed to Dugu Bo's side. Seeing his wounded body and weak appearance, she felt heartbroken and tears streamed down her face.

She suddenly looked up at Ye Lingling, who was standing not far away, and cried out in a sob, "Lingling, please, save my grandfather!"

However, Ye Lingling did not act immediately, but instead cast an inquiring glance at Lin Mu.

Seeing Lin Mu nod, Ye Lingling quickly stepped forward, summoned the Nine-Heart Begonia, and soft white light transformed into petals that drifted down and merged into Dugu Bo's body, beginning to heal his injuries.

With Ye Lingling's healing abilities, although she couldn't immediately cure a Title Douluo, she could at least help Dugu Bo regain his mobility.

Lin Mu's gaze fell on Dugu Yan, whose face was full of sorrow, and his eyes flashed with a thoughtful look.

Undeniably, part of the reason he didn't kill Dugu Bo was because of Dugu Yan; it wasn't out of affection, but because he didn't want to affect the team's relationship.

Now, the Royal Fighting Team has assembled a relatively complete lineup, and after two more years of training, they have a real chance to compete with the Spirit Hall Team.

Under his guidance, the two brothers, Shi Mo and Shi Mo, are becoming increasingly in sync, and it won't be long before they develop a Martial Soul Fusion Skill. As for the team captain, Yu Tianheng, after the previous setbacks, has clearly been training even harder. Although he can't handle most of the team's damage output, he's perfectly capable of being a damage dealer.

Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Ye Lingling are all core members of the team, and they can also absorb immortal herbs to improve their strength later.

The only problem is that Dugu Bo was seriously injured this time, and Dugu Yan might harbor resentment.

However, Lin Mu didn't care at all.

In his team's plan, Dugu Yan was originally just a substitute player. Even if he was dissatisfied, so what? At most, he would just be impotently furious.

A few minutes later, Dugu Bo's injuries had partially healed, and he was able to move around normally again.

Immediately, Lin Mu waved to Ye Lingling to stop the treatment and said in an unquestionable manner, "Dugu Bo, I need to go to Sunset Forest. You are in charge of leading the way."

Upon hearing the tone of the command, the three education committee members beside him looked surprised, but then they thought that it was not surprising that Poison Douluo, as a defeated opponent, would obey Teacher Lin Mu's arrangements.

"I obey your command."

Dugu Bo originally wanted to call himself an old servant, but seeing his granddaughter crying with tears streaming down her face, he swallowed his words and tried to maintain the last bit of dignity he had left.

As for why Lin Mu went to Sunset Forest, he already had a guess in his mind. Now that things had come to this, he had completely given up any hope of getting away with it and only hoped to save his granddaughter's life.

Lin Mu was naturally aware of Dugu Bo's ulterior motives, but for the sake of the herb garden, he didn't pay any attention to it.

Immediately, Lin Mu called out to Tang San and Xiao Wu, then looked at Meng Shenji and said, "Committee Member Meng Shenji, I need to leave the academy for a while. During this time, Teacher Qin Ming will be in charge of training the Royal Fighting Team."

"Teacher Lin Mu, when will you be back?"

Meng Shenji immediately became anxious, fearing that Lin Mu might never return, which would be a tremendous loss for the empire.

"It could be half a month, or it could be a month, it's not clear yet," Lin Mu said ambiguously.

Seeing that Lin Mu had made up his mind, Meng Shenji could only nod in agreement.

Led by Dugu Bo, Lin Mu led Tang San and Xiao Wu through a hidden poisonous barrier in the Sunset Forest and finally arrived at a valley.

As soon as they entered the valley, an extremely dense and strange energy rushed towards them, which even invigorated Lin Mu.

Before long, the four of them stood on a high spot and looked down, where they could see a magical spring in the center of the valley.

The spring water displays two distinct colors, milky white and crimson, which blend together like a yin-yang symbol, yet do not interfere with each other.

It is the eye of both ice and fire!
This contains both extremely hot and extremely cold energies. Ordinary soul masters would explode and die even if they absorbed these two energies for a long time, let alone enter the spring.

Around this Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, all sorts of exotic flowers and rare herbs are scattered.

Lin Mu only had a vague impression of these rare medicinal herbs, but based on his knowledge of medicinal materials, he knew that these herbs were definitely not ordinary.

Besides, Tang San is very familiar with these rare medicinal herbs, so he doesn't need to worry about them.

"Master, this treasure land is the eye of both ice and fire, and the herbs growing nearby are all top-grade immortal herbs."

As he spoke, Tang San rushed to one side of the hot spring, quickly scanning the rare medicinal herbs he had only seen in books, barely able to contain his excitement.
