Douluo Continent: Starting with Self-Created Soul Rings.

Chapter 53 Sunset Forest

(The previous text has been slightly modified; Chrysanthemum Douluo knew the name of the immortal herb and also referred to it as an immortal product!)

In Qian Xunji's absence, Yue Guan simply called him Xiao Yi.

"Teacher Yueguan, we're going there to search for treasure!"

"Teacher Yueguan, please look!"

Gu Ziyi smiled upon hearing this, then took out the incomplete map he had made and handed it to Yue Guan.

"Oh? Treasure hunting? That sounds so interesting!"

Upon hearing this, Yue Guan's eyes lit up, and she smiled as she took the incomplete map from Gu Ziyi's hand and examined it curiously.

At first glance, Yue Guan's figure froze on the spot, and his hands holding the incomplete map trembled slightly.

"Old Yue, what's wrong?"

Seeing the ghostly figure beside him, Yue Guan couldn't help but become curious.

"A masterpiece among masterpieces, it's actually the Acacia Heartbreak Red!"

"Your Highness, is the thing on this really in Sunset Forest?"

Upon hearing his old friend's voice, Yue Guan finally came to his senses, but he ignored the ghost and quickly grabbed Gu Ziyi's hand to ask him questions.

Yue Guan was so excited because Gu Ziyi had painted the Love-Sickness Heartbreak Red on it.

The Acacia 'Heartbreak Red' is known as the king of flowers, a celestial beauty among celestial ones.

Given Yue's love for flowers, this flower undoubtedly held the greatest attraction for him.

In the original story, he discovered that Xiao Wu had this immortal herb on her body, and that the Acacia Heartbreak Red had recognized Xiao Wu as its master, so he said he would protect Xiao Wu.

"I found this fragment of the map in the library. It looks quite old. I only deduced that it's Sunset Forest; whether it's true or not, we'll have to go and find out!"

Gu Ziyi explained.

"Did you find it in the library?"

"Sunset Forest, Your Highness, how did you deduce that the location is in Sunset Forest?"

Upon hearing this, Yue Guan became even more serious.

"Analysis revealed behind the fragmented image!"

Gu Ziyi replied.

Upon hearing Gu Ziyi's words, Yue Guan quickly flipped over the incomplete map and discovered that there were more patterns on the back.

"..."

Based on Gu Ziyi's analysis, Yue Guan immediately understood the information on the pattern, and was speechless.

Is it really that hasty?

To call it Sunset Forest based solely on a picture of a fallen sun seems a bit far-fetched.

"There's no other way; besides Sunset Forest, I can't think of anywhere else related to the pattern!"

"I'm definitely going to go and find it myself!"

"Although the High Priest said he would help me find a treasure to improve my talent, I don't want to just wait around. I don't know how long it will take, or even if it will be available. I might as well go find it myself!"

When Gu Ziyi saw Yue Guan's appearance, he chuckled inwardly, then said with a smile.

Inadvertently, he also brought up what Qian Daoliu had told him.

Although Gu Ziyi trusted Yue Guan, she felt it was still necessary to mention Qian Daoliu to let them know that Qian Daoliu also valued her highly.

As a result, they dared not have any ulterior motives.

Besides, there are so many immortal herbs at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye, and Gu Ziyi doesn't need them all. Everyone gets a share, and he only needs the two best ones to help him evolve his martial soul.

He had previously been reluctant to seek help from the Spirit Hall, but this was actually due to his greed; he wanted to obtain all the immortal herbs.

But now Gu Ziyi has figured it out. He doesn't need too many immortal herbs; he just needs to get what he wants.

The most important thing is to resolve his martial spirit problem as soon as possible.

"The Grand Offering..."

Sure enough, upon hearing that Qian Daoliu also valued Gu Ziyi so much, Yue Guan and Gui Mei's expressions immediately changed.

"That's true. If there's anything related to the pattern on the back, it's only the Sunset Forest!"

"Your Highness, rest assured, if there truly is a divine treasure there, Old Ghost and I will certainly help you obtain it!"

Yue Guan immediately assured Gu Ziyi.

"I'd be perfectly content just to see it once!"

"I'm just afraid Your Highness will be disappointed. I know that celestial-grade items are extremely beneficial to soul masters, but whether they can evolve into martial souls, I really don't know!"

Finally, Yue Guan also told Gu Ziyi in advance, worried that Gu Ziyi would be disappointed.

"Yes, I know!"

"Teacher Yueguan, Senior Guimei, let's hurry up and set off!"

Gu Ziyi nodded slightly, then urged Yue Guan and Gui Mei to hurry up.

"Yes, Your Highness!"

"Let's go!"

Upon hearing Gu Ziyi's words, Yue Guan and Gui Mei quickly responded.

……

Two days later, Gu Ziyi and his group entered the Heavenly Dou Empire.

A week later, Gu Ziyi and his group finally arrived outside Sunset Forest!

"We've finally arrived!"

"Old Ghost, you take charge of the search. I'll protect His Highness!"

"Following Your Highness's instructions, I believe you are right. If the celestial treasures truly exist, they must be hidden in places that are not easily discovered. Let's search for those hidden paradises!"

Seeing Sunset Forest right in front of him, Yue Guan seemed inexplicably excited, and then turned to Gui Mei and said.

"Don't worry, leave it to me!"

"You must protect His Highness!"

The ghost responded expressionlessly, then vanished in a flash, turning into a black shadow.

"Your Highness, let's go in and search too!"

After seeing that the ghost had gone inside, Yue Guan then spoke to Gu Ziyi.

Although he was responsible for protecting Gu Ziyi, he did not stop searching for her; he simply focused more on protecting her while searching.

"Okay, let's go, Teacher Yueguan!"

Gu Ziyi naturally wouldn't object; he was also eager to find the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire.

However, Gu Ziyi knew that the task of finding the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire could only fall to Yue Guan and Gui Mei; he only needed to follow along.

And so, Gu Ziyi and Yue Guan also entered Sunset Forest and began their search.

Since the ghost was searching in one direction, Yue Guan and Gu Ziyi naturally headed in the other.

When I first entered, Yue Guan was quite relaxed.

When they reached the depths of the Sunset Forest, Yue Guan's journey became much more difficult.

After all, there are many ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts inside, so he must be on guard at all times.

Although he was confident he could protect Gu Ziyi, it was always better to be cautious.

"Second Soul Skill: Cleansing Spell!"

At this moment, Gu Ziyi began to apply a purification spell to Yue Guan.

"Is this the effect of the purification spell? It's truly extraordinary; it actually has some effect on me!"

Feeling his five senses being enhanced, Yue Guan couldn't help but praise it.

Even so, Yue Guan and Gu Ziyi's journey in Sunset Forest was not without its challenges, as reckless soul beasts would frequently come knocking on their door.

Yue Guan didn't fight them; she just took Gu Ziyi and ran away.

The two searched inside for several days without finding anything, until a ghostly figure suddenly found them.

"Old Yue, Your Highness!"

"I've found the place!"
