Chapter 678 The Flame Spirit Cat's Absolute Favoritism

For the vast majority of people on the mainland, the location of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well is an absolute secret. Even 99% of Soul Masters do not know of its existence, and only a few legends mention this divine herb garden.

But for Han Hao, the location of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well was no secret.

Han Feng used to treat the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well as his home, how could he not tell Han Hao!?

For Soul Masters who possess both ice and fire attributes, the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well is simply a paradise!

Having found the Sunset Forest and dispelled the mist, Han Hao used the power of extreme ice to cut through the thorns and smoothly entered the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

"Who's there!?"

"This is the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire! Intruder! You entered without permission; are you provoking us?!"

"Leave now! Or don't blame us for being impolite!"

As soon as Han Hao stepped into the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, before he could even enjoy the rich ice and fire energy within, several threatening voices reached his ears. Each voice was not mature, but it was accompanied by the aura of several hundred thousand-year-old soul beasts soaring into the sky and rushing towards Han Hao. Han Hao had no choice but to summon the Ice and Fire Forbidden God Statue to barely withstand it!

The Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well is now vastly different from what it once was. To prevent this sacred place from being disturbed, Han Feng and Tang San joined forces to seal off the heavenly secrets here, preventing even the lightning tribulation from striking this place. This allowed the many immortal herbs within the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well to thrive. Over the course of ten thousand years, these immortal herbs have developed sentience, and many have even cultivated to the point of a hundred thousand years of cultivation. Regardless of their actual strength, their aura alone is quite intimidating!

Han Hao was clearly also shocked. Several hundred thousand-year-old soul beasts, plus a large number of ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts, were no match for Han Hao's small body!

Han Hao was horrified—he had never heard his father mention how terrifying the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well was!

"Father! When you were just a Soul King, did you really cultivate in a place like this?!" Han Hao's eyes twitched as he thought in disbelief.

Han Hao had originally planned to use the immortal herbs inside the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well to soar into the sky, but now it seems that there's no way he can fly. He'll be lucky if he can make it back home intact!

Han Hao didn't dare to say anything more and turned to leave.

Just as Han Hao was about to return the way he came, a voice, both alluring and authoritative, suddenly resounded throughout the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well: "Silence!"

In an instant, the entire Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye became completely silent!

Even those immortal herbs with a cultivation of 100,000 years dared not utter a single breath!

Han Hao was horrified, but before he could think any further, a red phantom flashed before his eyes. A stunningly beautiful face came into view, and her tall figure was even more alluring than Ma Xiaotao's. Although she was dressed very conservatively, she managed to exude a captivating beauty that was both alluring and demure. There was no affectation whatsoever, but her charm was natural and irresistible, like a rare beauty from heaven!

But at this moment, Han Hao couldn't care less about any of that.

Han Hao noticed that the way the beautiful woman in front of him was looking at him was somewhat strange.

It is certain that she meant no harm; her gaze was gentle and soft, as if she were looking at her lover, but without the slightest hint of coquetry, her eyes were extremely clear!

This feeling is as if you are looking at another person through Han Hao!

Han Hao unconsciously swallowed, about to say something, when he saw the woman in front of him extend her slender, jade-like fingers and trace them across his cheek, carefully examining him with a deep longing in her eyes.

Han Hao didn't dare to move an inch, cold sweat pouring down his face. The person in front of him was someone who could silence many 100,000-year-old soul beasts with just a word, and Han Hao didn't want to incur her displeasure!

"Child... are you surnamed Han?" After a long while, the woman stared at Han Hao and asked with pity.

Although it was a question, the woman's tone made it sound like she was stating a fact!

Han Hao's appearance, the mask he wore at an angle, and the power of ice and fire he possessed earlier all pointed to his identity!

Seeing this, Han Hao naturally nodded.

"Child, can you tell me what your martial soul is?" The woman's gaze towards Han Hao softened even more. Han Hao had experienced this gentleness more than once—Ning Rongrong, Qian Renxue, and even Bai Chenxiang had all looked at him with this kind of gaze!

This is the gaze of a mother!

Han Hao was somewhat puzzled, but still said, "The Nine-Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda and the Forbidden Statue of Ice and Fire!"

The forbidden statue of ice and fire has already been exposed, so Han Hao no longer needs to hide it. As for the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, Han Hao hopes that the woman in front of him will be wary of it for the sake of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect!

Han Hao had no idea who this woman was!

Seemingly sensing Han Hao's wariness, the woman smiled indulgently and explained, "You don't need to panic. I... I should be considered acquaintances of your father. He once did me a favor, but at that time, I hadn't yet attained human form, so it's normal that you don't recognize me. If you'd like, please call me Aunt Ling!"

"Father!? Aunt Ling!?" Han Hao frowned thoughtfully upon hearing this.

After a few breaths, Han Hao had a sudden inspiration and exclaimed in surprise, "You...you wouldn't happen to be Father's spirit pet from back then, would you!?"

If it can live for ten thousand years, it must be a soul beast. Combining this with what the woman in front of me said, besides the Flame Spirit Cat that Han Feng once mentioned, who else could it be!?

Upon hearing Han Hao's words, the woman first smiled, then her eyes dimmed, and she murmured self-deprecatingly, "Just a spirit pet..."

The Flame Spirit Cat was happy that Han Feng still remembered her, but also disappointed that Han Feng always treated her as a spirit pet.

Han Hao naturally noticed Yan Lingmao's unusual behavior. Coupled with the occasional snippets of conversation between Ning Rongrong and Qian Renxue, Han Hao was able to roughly guess what Yan Lingmao was thinking.

But Han Hao didn't dare to say anything more.

Because of Aunt Xiao Wu's existence, Han Hao had absolutely no prejudice against soul beasts, but this was, after all, his father's romantic affair, so how could Han Hao dare to say anything!

Seeing Han Hao's trembling silence, Yan Lingmao chuckled, realizing she had been a bit greedy. Suppressing her disappointment, she smiled gently, stroking Han Hao's hair as she asked, "Can you tell Aunt Ling what you want to do at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well? Aunt Ling might be able to help!"

As the Flame Spirit Cat rubbed his hair, Han Hao felt a strange sensation. He wanted to resist, but he was also hesitant.

Seeing that Han Hao showed no dissatisfaction, Yanling Cat was overjoyed and looked at Han Hao with even more affection!

Perhaps sensing the Flame Spirit Cat's sincerity, or perhaps because it wouldn't affect Han Hao whether he said it or not, Han Hao truthfully replied, "It's nothing, I just want to find a few immortal herbs to push my essence, qi, and spirit to the Soul King realm, and then absorb a 100,000-year soul ring!"

"A 100,000-year soul ring?" Upon hearing this, the Flame Spirit Cat narrowed its eyes.

Seeing that Yanling Cat remained silent, Han Hao thought this would put Yanling Cat in a difficult position. Just as he was about to say something, Yanling Cat suddenly turned around.

The next moment, terrifying power erupted from the Flame Spirit Cat's body, and a cold voice uttered from its mouth: "Eight-Cornered! Delicate Flame! Offer your immortal herb bodies to aid the young master's breakthrough! Offer your soul rings for the young master's cultivation!"

An undeniable voice echoed throughout the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, leaving Han Hao stunned!

Aunt Ling, who was just being all smiles a moment ago, has suddenly transformed into a queen!?

That's way too domineering!

"Yan Ling Ji! You!" As Yan Ling Mao's voice fell, the silent Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye became restless again. The auras of the previous hundred-thousand-year-old soul beasts rose again, filled with anger, wanting to question Yan Ling Mao.

But the Flame Spirit Cat gave them no chance whatsoever. With a cold snort, it unleashed a terrifying pressure and roared, "Cooperate! This will ensure your souls and consciousness remain intact, allowing you to return to your spiritual seed cultivation! Otherwise, I will obliterate your souls, causing you to be scattered and destroyed, and I will still take your immortal herb bodies, soul rings, and soul bones!"

As Yanling Cat finished speaking, the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well became forbidden once again!

After saying this, Yanling Cat ignored the immortal herbs. These herbs had no way out and couldn't even escape. Once they left the protection of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, they would surely die. Yanling Cat had plenty of ways to deal with them!

They're just a bunch of resources kept by their owners. Do they really think they have a choice?!

At the same time, Yanling Cat looked at Han Hao again, as if her expression had changed. All her previous majesty and domineering manner vanished, replaced by the previous doting and gentleness.

The Flame Spirit Cat affectionately ruffled Han Hao's hair and instructed, "Young Master, although the immortal herbs within the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well have developed sentience and can cultivate, due to your protection of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, while they can cultivate for up to 100,000 years, they cannot undergo the baptism of lightning tribulation. Therefore, in terms of both strength and foundation, they are far inferior to normal 100,000-year-old soul beasts!"

"For the young master, their most valuable assets are their soul rings and immortal herb bodies. If the young master has a better choice, there's no need to absorb their soul bones!"

"Our master once used soul bones as material to forge a divine weapon unique to himself; young master, you may emulate it!"

Han Hao was stunned after hearing this. He could only nod blankly and couldn't say a word!
