"Don't even think about killing me to cover it up! My father, Tang Hao, has been secretly following us! We're already in Sunset Forest! And don't count on your poisonous miasma barrier. My teacher, Chen Hong, could dismantle it with his toes!"

Tang San suddenly realized that Chen Hong's bastardly strange martial soul could directly shield the subtle poisonous miasma around him with his mental power without even needing to break the formation!

"The Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire? What is that? Does it refer to the red and blue springs of ice and fire?" Dugu Bo looked at Tang San with a puzzled expression, his eyebrows slightly raised.

Tang San took a deep breath, then looked at Dugu Bo with some displeasure: "Senior Dugu, all you need to know is that this place is a unique feng shui treasure land in the world! It contains countless treasures!"

"A geomantically auspicious place?! Countless treasures?!" Dugu Bo's eyes narrowed upon hearing this, and he realized that he had been forcibly fed by the heavens!

However, Dugu Bo's expression changed, and he looked at Tang San with a dangerous gaze, his face uncertain.

Tang San naturally understood what Dugu Bo was thinking, so he simply spread his hands and said, "Senior Dugu, we need to calm down and have a good talk. You should understand why I told you so openly that this is the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye, one of the three great treasure troves in the world, instead of hiding it and then finding an opportunity to eliminate you and completely take over this place."

Dugu Bo's face darkened, and he said with displeasure, "Couldn't it be because you were poisoned by me and can't escape my grasp that you confess and receive leniency?"

"Heh," Tang San chuckled softly, the hint of contempt in his eyes stinging Dugu Bo.

"Then, according to Senior Dugu, why should I tell you that this place is the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire? Wouldn't it be more logical for me to just tell you about some less important herbs, lure you there, and then lie in wait for the right opportunity to eliminate you?"

"..." Dugu Bo fell silent for a moment. Undeniably, Tang San was right. In his view, if Tang San wanted to maximize his profits, he would use a half-truth, half-lie to fool him first, and then join forces with Tang Hao outside to plot his own Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. Although Dugu Bo felt that with his intelligence, he shouldn't be the kind of person who could be easily fooled.

(Chen Hong: Oh ho, the fool living at the entrance of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well has a certain amount of foolish luck.)

What Dugu Bo didn't realize was that Chen Hong had unknowingly saved his life. The Tang San he was facing now knew that Tang San had a powerful background. If Chen Hong hadn't stood behind Tang San, preventing Tang San from getting past Chen Hong, Tang San would have been treating Dugu Bo to a delicious Haotian Hammer by now.

To truly benefit Tang San is to absorb the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire into his own possession. Furthermore, Tang San's father, Tang Hao, would support this plan.

Moreover, if Tang Hao knew that the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well could increase the cultivation speed of plant-type soul beasts tenfold, then without Tang San's reminder, Tang Hao would take the initiative to invite Dugu Bo to eat the delicious Clear Sky Hammer. If Dugu Bo had good teeth.

"So, what's the reason you're willing to tell me all this? It can't be that you suddenly had a change of heart and want to be a good person, right?" Dugu Bo and Tang San walked to the vicinity of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Spring. Dugu Bo looked at the two-colored spring in front of him with deep eyes and asked Tang San beside him his question.

Yes, since Tang San had the desire to secretly possess the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, why did he give up in the end?

Dugu Bo was a little confused.

Tang San looked at the springs that emitted extreme cold and extreme heat, a hint of amazement flashing in his eyes. At the same time, he replied to Dugu Bo, "Senior Dugu, we can now be considered as being on the same side. So let's get straight to the point. I have not hidden the fact that I discovered the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. Even if I plotted to eliminate you, it would still expose the existence of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. The original intention of eliminating you was to keep it a secret. Therefore, these two things are contradictory. So I have no need to plot to eliminate you. So there is only one path left for me, and that is to join forces with you."

"Senior, please stop talking about how amazing you are. According to some details I've discovered, my father, Tang Hao, has actually been protecting me in secret. Although he may not be able to track down the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, he should already be in the Sunset Forest."

"Senior, don't be superstitious about your poison gas or the poisonous miasma outside the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. I have a teacher at Shrek Academy, you should know him, Chen Hong, the young president of the Soto City Technology Chamber of Commerce. His martial soul ability can easily break through the poisonous miasma, and with his intelligence, he can break through the poison gas here even without his martial soul."

"The reason I lack confidence in concealing the news of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well is because that person is too clever. If you want to hide something from him, the only way is not to appear in his sight! No, it should be that you cannot appear in the eyes of the world, otherwise that person can deduce what you want to hide from the information you leave behind elsewhere."

Tang San recounted the existence of Chen Hong and Tang Hao to Dugu Bo in one breath. He couldn't keep the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well a secret any longer, so rashly eliminating Dugu Bo would be tantamount to declaring war on the Heaven Dou Empire. He would offend one of the two great empires on the Douluo Continent in an instant. Moreover, the Soto City Technology Chamber of Commerce was nominally a force within the Heaven Dou Empire. If the Technology Chamber of Commerce changed its stance and joined the fray, Tang San would have a huge headache.

Therefore, the plan to maximize profits is to find a way to join forces with Dugu Bo.

Dugu Bo's poison skills are quite unique. If this gatekeeper of Douluo doesn't resolve his poisoning problem, he won't be able to continue cultivating his soul power and thus won't be able to shake off his reputation as the gatekeeper of Douluo.

Tang San surveyed the Yin-Yang Well and found the Qiluo Tulip, a divine herb capable of curing all poisons. However, this herb wasn't suitable for Dugu Bo; more precisely, it wasn't suitable for any Soul Master who cultivated poison techniques. Of course, if Dugu Bo wanted to upgrade his title of "Douluo Gatekeeper" to the Golden Legendary title, he could consume the Qiluo Tulip. However, without his domineering poison techniques, Dugu Bo would likely be unable to defeat even some Soul Douluos.

We'll call them Douluo Gatekeepers, very open gates, and open gates for all Soul Douluos who come, giving them the high-level title of "Combat Power Comparable to Douluo".

Tang San could have used the Qiluo Tulip Yin Dugu Bo, but in the end he chose to give up.

The terrifying pressure from Chen Hong led Tang San to choose to join forces with Dugu Bo.
