Douluo Continent: Dragon's Journey Across the World

Chapter 133 Returning to the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire

After the qualifying rounds ended, there were three days to adjust, and Yang Ping'an met with Li Gui as soon as possible.

Li Gui was a very thin old man. Although he looked quite old and his face was covered with wrinkles, for some reason, all his hair was black. Moreover, he had no imposing aura at all and did not look like a master of the Soul Douluo level.

Especially judging from his clothing, he was just wearing ordinary coarse linen clothes, which looked very plain. You couldn't even tell that he was a master at the level of Contra.

Especially at night, it can transform into a ghostly shadow, as if its entire body has completely disappeared.

According to Li Gui himself, his hidden skills are among the best in the world. He is the strongest spy under Ghost Douluo, a loyal follower of Ghost Douluo, and acts only for Ghost Douluo.

There are still three days left in Tiandou City, which is a good time to use Li Gui's abilities to do some things on my own.

As for whether his teacher knew about what he had done, Yang Ping'an didn't care much anymore, since his future path was basically already set.

Yang Ping'an immediately asked Li Gui to confirm that Dugu Bo was still in Tiandou City. Even if it was to investigate the information of a Title Douluo, Li Gui didn't say a word. He simply turned into a ghostly shadow and disappeared instantly, as if dealing with a zombie Title Douluo was no challenge at all.

Yang Ping'an couldn't help but smile. It seemed that this imposter was a man of action, and rather taciturn.

Just half an hour later, Li Gui reappeared before Yang Ping'an, bowed slightly, and said, "Young Master, according to my investigation just now, Dugu Bo is currently meeting with Emperor Xue Ye and Crown Prince Xue Qinghe, presumably to discuss the trip to Wuhun City. He will probably stay in the palace for the next couple of days."

Yang Ping'an quickly said, "Senior Li, you are a powerful Soul Douluo-level expert, so please don't call me 'Young Master.' I am just an ordinary Soul Master. Just call me Ping'an or Little Yang. I may need to trouble you with many things in the future."

Li Gui quickly chimed in, "That's not quite right. Everything I have was given to me by Elder Gui. You are Elder Ju's disciple, so naturally you should call me Young Master."

Yang Ping'an shook his head: "In the world of Soul Masters, strength is paramount. You are a senior and a Soul Douluo, so you don't need to care about so much."

Li Gui finally nodded twice: "Alright, then I'll call you Ping An from now on."

However, he still spoke up: "Ping An, Dugu Bo is unpredictable and is also a guest elder of the Heaven Dou Empire. Unless there are special circumstances, it is best not to provoke him. Although we are not afraid, we are likely to be retaliated against."

Yang Ping'an couldn't help but smile: "Thank you for the reminder, Senior Li. I know Dugu Bo's strength and status, and I have no intention of provoking him. However, there is something I want in his herb garden, and I must go there when he is not around."

It wasn't a secret in the Soul Master world that Dugu Bo had a medicinal herb garden in Sunset Forest, and it seemed that few people dared to investigate it. Although Li Gui was puzzled, he didn't say anything.

Immediately afterwards, Yang Ping'an prepared to go to Sunset Forest alone, while Li Gui secretly followed. Now was not the time for him to openly contact experts, and he needed to maintain his independent and unconnected persona.

Sunset Forest is very close to Tiandou City, only a little over 100 kilometers away. Yang Ping'an took a carriage directly to the edge of Sunset Forest and then quickly headed towards the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye.

However, just as Yang Ping'an reached the outer perimeter, Li Gui suddenly appeared, ready to stop him: "Ping'an, the green aura around here should be Dugu Bo's poison array. Dugu Bo's poison is extraordinary, so don't get involved easily."

Yang Ping'an just smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, Uncle Li. I have some knowledge of poisons, and I have been into this herb garden a few times. There won't be any danger."

"But if Dugu Bo suddenly arrives, try to let out three beast roars so I can hide."

Li Gui was a little conflicted when he heard this. If Dugu Bo really arrived suddenly and cornered Yang Ping'an in the herb garden, it would be a real problem.

However, after some communication and confirmation of the secret code, Yang Ping'an was allowed to enter the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

Now that Yang Ping'an has undergone the Ice and Fire Body Tempering, he is no longer afraid of Dugu Bo's solo formation and quickly enters the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

Yang Ping'an ventured alone to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well this time mainly to obtain the Autumn Water Dew, and also wanted to make some other preparations.

The "Looking Through Autumn Water Dew" is the only immortal herb that can increase spiritual power. In the original story, Tang San used the "Looking Through Autumn Water Dew" to cultivate the Purple Demon Eye to a higher level. Otherwise, he would not have been able to fight against Hu Liena and Xie Yue's spirit fusion skill, Demon Charm. This time, he went to Wuhun City to participate in the spirit master competition. He might end up facing the Wuhun Hall team. It would be better to make some preparations in advance.

Now that I have acquired knowledge of Chrysanthemum Douluo's immortal herbs, and after careful study recently, I am basically familiar with the functions of those previously unknown immortal herbs.

Besides waiting for the autumn dew, Yang Ping'an also took a few immortal herbs, but most of the immortal herbs and soul bones were still placed in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

The journey to Wuhun City is still uncertain, and we cannot put all our hopes on Chrysanthemum Douluo. If Bibi Dong does anything rash or something unacceptable to us, we can't be wiped out in one fell swoop. The immortal herbs and soul bones hidden in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well will be our last chance to turn the tide.

Yang Ping'an always likes to have a backup plan and will never reveal his trump card unless he is in dire straits. Although becoming an apprentice of Chrysanthemum Douluo is the best path at this stage, it is not good to rely too much on others. After all, even a powerful backer can crumble, and Chrysanthemum Douluo is not invincible now.

Moreover, although Chrysanthemum Douluo values ​​himself highly now, he is absolutely no match for Bibi Dong's words.

When Yang Ping'an left the Ice and Fire Twin Eyes, Li Gui visibly breathed a sigh of relief. Chrysanthemum Douluo had arranged for Li Gui to stay by Yang Ping'an's side, mainly to protect his safety, and this place was indeed full of danger.

After leaving the Ice and Fire Twin Eyes, Yang Ping'an quickly returned to Tian Dou City.

Although Yang Ping'an had been careful all the way, Li Gui still told him that he had already dealt with several groups of spies along the way to Luori Forest without leaving any trace, and they would never be able to trace it back to him. Moreover, he would not suddenly take action unless the trip was top secret.

Yang Ping'an just sneered. It seemed that quite a few people were watching him, and they had even chased him all the way to Sunset Forest. But so what if these people died? They would be enemies sooner or later anyway. Besides, he, a mere Soul Master, couldn't possibly kill these spies.
