Douluo Dalu: Shooting the Sun

"Take a look at these places I marked. They should be the places we have already passed. As for the outskirts of the forest, there is no need to explore them. The only places that may exist are those that have not been explored yet, especially those that are not clearly marked on the map."

"Isn't this map a little too blurry? It makes me dizzy. And what did you base the markings on?"

Hearing this, Yang Zhentian couldn't help but smile: "Son, let me teach you another lesson. The only reference point in the Soul Hunting Forest is the sun in the sky. No matter which direction we walk, we must remember how far we have walked. This way, we can form a rough outline in our minds. Otherwise, we will definitely get lost in the forest."

"For example, from the swamp we were in to our current location, it's about three and a half kilometers, and the direction is 40 degrees southeast. Based on our travels over the past few days, I estimate that we are right here on the map, and the deviation should be no more than three kilometers."

After saying that, he pointed to a place on the map.

Hearing this, Yang Podi couldn't help but complain in his heart. There is actually so much knowledge to learn in the Soul Beast Forest. He was a college student in his previous life, so why does he feel like an illiterate now?

Then, Yang Zhentian said earnestly, "You are still young and have a lot to learn. Just learn slowly in the future."

Looking at his father's smug expression, Yang Podi was speechless. He was actually fooled by his own father.

In the following time, the two continued to search in the Sunset Forest, and even found several poisonous soul beasts, especially a human-faced demon spider that was more than 40,000 years old. It chased the two for a long time, making them very embarrassed. His father even forgot the direction.

When the two stopped, they had arrived at an unknown place.

Yang Podi looked around the surroundings and said, "Dad, do you think this place is a little strange?"

"Son, please don't say that. If we encounter any high-level soul beasts again, we will be in trouble."

Yang Podi was speechless for a while. Why did it feel like both of them were like frightened birds?

"Dad, take a closer look at the surroundings. Is there anything wrong?"

Yang Zhentian used his soul power to carefully explore the surroundings, but he felt that the distance he explored seemed to be much shorter than usual, and there seemed to be a strange smell in the air around him, which he had never seen before.

Immediately afterwards, Yang Zhentian carefully smelled the air and confirmed that there was indeed a mild toxin in the air.

"Son, there is something wrong around here. This place is very remote. Judging from the growth of flowers and plants around it, no one should have been here. Judging from the surrounding terrain, there seems to be a volcano nearby."

"And I think there seems to be a toxin in the air that we have never encountered before. If we stay here for too long, it might cause harm to our bodies."

"Dad, do you know what kind of toxin this is? What are its properties?"

After carefully examining it for a while, my father couldn't help but ask, "Why do I feel that this toxin is very strange? The toxin has both the properties of ice and the properties of fire. How did these two properties come together?"

Hearing this, Yang Podi was ecstatic: "Dad, don't forget, our main goal this time is to find something?"

Hearing what his son said, Yang Zhentian couldn't help swallowing his saliva: "You mean to say that the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire is nearby?"

"Dad, there shouldn't be any soul beast in this world that can produce toxins of both ice and fire attributes at the same time. Our destination this time, the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire, should be nearby."

Chapter 38 Ice and Fire Eyes

After thinking for a moment, the two of them gradually looked towards the source of the poison.

After searching for a while, they did see an area where the poison was getting thicker, but Yang Podi was only level 22 and couldn't resist it at all. And the deeper they went, the thicker it became. No wonder no one had noticed it, and there weren't even any soul beasts nearby.

At this time, Yang Zhentian took out two detoxification pills from his body, took one himself, and then gave one to Yang Podi: "This detoxification pill is quite effective. It is the secret medicine of my Podi clan. It can resist ordinary toxins."

After Yang Podi took the detoxification pill from his father's hand, he swallowed it directly. After taking the detoxification pill, he felt his whole body was unblocked. The surrounding toxins seemed to have no effect on him, and his whole body seemed to be disconnected from the outside world.

"This detoxification pill seems to be very effective!"

"Son, of course. This is the best detoxification pill inherited from my Po Yi clan. Do you want me to teach you how to make it when you go back?"

Without waiting for Yang Podi to speak, Yang Zhentian directly wrapped his son with his soul power and then quickly walked into the depths of the poisonous fog.

Deep in the poisonous fog was actually a hill about 500 meters high in the forest, and on the top of the hill was an inverted cone-shaped valley. Thick hot air rose from the valley, and bursts of sulfur smell came from the valley.

There was actually a cliff in the middle of the valley, which was very steep. In addition, the poisonous fog was very thick and visibility was very low. If you didn't look carefully, you couldn't find it at all. And because of the thick poisonous fog, the soul master's perception became much weaker. No wonder no one found it for so many years.

"Be careful, son. I'm taking you down now."

After Yang Zhentian finished speaking, he took his son's hand and jumped into the cliff.

When the two entered the valley, they saw a special hot spring. The area of ​​the hot spring was not large, but it was divided into two parts. The colors of the hot spring water in the oval pool were milky white and vermilion. What was even more bizarre was that although they were in the same pool, they were clearly separated and did not invade each other, always staying on their own side. The steam that rolled up was generated by the position between the two hot springs, forming the poisonous fog outside.

Throughout the valley, the area around the springs is covered with a variety of plants in various shapes and sizes, making it like a plant paradise.

Many familiar plants came into Yang Podi's eyes. They were the plants recorded in the book "Douluo Continent Immortal Herbs" and "Douluo Continent Poisonous Herbs" inherited by the Podi clan, including Acacia Heartbroken Red, Wonderful Rong Tongtian Chrysanthemum, Fragrant Qiluo Immortal Product, King Kong Luo Han Guo, Earth Dragon Golden Gourd, Crystal Jade Muscle Bone, Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower...

According to Yang Podi's estimation, there were as many as twenty to thirty immortal herbs visible, and many of them grew underground, so the number was even greater. It was much more than what Tang San gave to Shrek's people in the original novel.

At this time, father Yang Zhentian was also stunned. He never thought that he would be able to see the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire and even see so many fairy herbs in his lifetime.

Yang Zhentian gently plucked the fragrant and beautiful immortal product, then carefully observed and examined it, as if he had encountered a peerless beauty. Then, from time to time, he would let out various strange laughs, as if he were crazy.

Seeing this, Yang Podi couldn't help but shake his head, muttering to himself: How come my dad is just like the grandfather in the original novel? A magical herb almost drove him crazy.

Yang Podi couldn't care less about all these for the time being. While his father wasn't paying attention, he started digging the magic grass alone.

When Yang Podi just became a soul master, his grandfather Yang Wudi gave him a storage bracelet. Although it could not store living things, the entire bracelet had a relatively large space of fifty cubic meters. Yang Podi himself also prepared a lot of jade boxes for this day, a total of hundreds of them.

Yang Podi's original plan was to dig out all the immortal herbs and herbs over ten thousand years old from the Yin-Yang Eyes of Binghuo first, and deal with other things later. He couldn't just leave them here and let others take advantage of them.

According to the method of digging herbs, Yang Podi began to dig. Dig up the strange chrysanthemum, dig it up, dig up the heartbroken red of acacia, dig it up, dig up the tulip of Qiluo, dig it up, dig up the diamond arhat fruit, dig it up, dig up the earth dragon golden melon, dig it up, dig up the crystal jade muscle bone, dig it up, dig up the cockscomb Phoenix sunflower, dig it up, dig up this big snow silkworm, dig it up, dig up the cinnabar lotus, dig it up, dig up the dragon zhi leaf, dig it up, the mixed primordial fairy grass, dig it up, the black jade magic bamboo, dig it up, the starry spirit pearl, dig it up...

After spending a full hour, the entire Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eyes had been dug up for ten thousand years. The above spiritual medicines or immortal herbs had been almost dug up, with only a few left to be dug up. Of course, as a person familiar with pharmacology, he naturally left the roots.

At this time, dad Yang Zhentian also woke up from the intoxication of the fragrant and beautiful fairy product.

When Yang Zhentian looked at the situation in the eyes of the Yin-Yang of Ice and Fire, the entire ground looked like it had been gnawed by a dog, with potholes everywhere. Although there were still many plants on the ground, they were all thousands of years old, and there were no particularly expensive immortal products.

"Son, why did you take away all these immortal herbs? You know, these things are priceless."

Yang Podi was still digging seriously. After digging, he put it directly into the jade box and immediately stored it in his soul guide.

"Dad, if we don't dig up these magical herbs, if they are discovered by others, wouldn't that make them cheap?"

"But, son, you dug it too cleanly."

"That's pretty good. I didn't dig up any of the thousand-year-old herbs, saving them for the family to use in the future. I also kept the roots, as a legacy for the family in the future."

Hearing this, Yang Zhentian was speechless. His son actually dug up all the immortal items and left some of the lower value ones for the family to use. Isn’t this a bit too much of a rip-off?

Only after Yang Podi had dug up all the immortal herbs did he come to his father.

Yang Zhentian was a little serious at this time: "Son, why are you digging so many immortal herbs? What is your plan?"

"Dad, you should know the value of these immortal herbs. If any of the information is leaked, our Poyi clan will face a catastrophic disaster."

"What does this have to do with you digging it all up?"

"Dad, we are family. As for other people, we still have to be careful. After all, people's hearts are hidden."

Yang Zhentian seemed a little angry when he heard this: "Son, I don't allow you to say that about the members of our Poyi clan. They have all sacrificed their lives for the clan, and many have even dedicated their entire lives to the clan."

"I know they have made contributions to the family, but aren't there still a lot of high-grade medicinal herbs here?"

Yang Zhentian glanced at the remaining herbs around him and was speechless. Why did his son look like a Pixiu?

Chapter 39 Dividing the Immortal Herb

After Yang Zhentian thought about it carefully, his expression became serious, and the father and son sat together to start communicating.

"Son, tell me about your plan."

"Dad, you should also know the value of these immortal herbs. Now that we found them, they belong to us, to our family. Not to the entire Po Yi clan."

"So what are you going to do?"

"I plan to collect all the immortal herbs, and this fragrant and beautiful immortal herb will be used as the family's treasure. We should not tell anyone how much we have, including the two grandfathers."

"Then select one plant each for the two grandfathers, dad, and mom to use first, and save the rest first."

"Later, after we have used the magic grass, we will clean up everything inside the Yin-Yang Eyes of Fire and Ice, and have Mom come here in person to fix this entrance and make a secret door. Don't let anyone know except our family of five. If possible, it would be best to build a mechanism to prevent outsiders from breaking in."

After hearing this, Yang Zhentian was silent for a long time: "Son, you have grown up. What you did is very good, but if I don't tell your grandfather the specific news, isn't it a bit inappropriate?"

“Dad, grandpa has a very good relationship with many people, even like brothers. I’m afraid that grandpa will not be able to help but tell others, or give the magic grass to others.”

"Are you worried about the other three of the four single-attribute families?"

"Dad, you should also know that since the battle with Haotian Sect, although our four single-attribute families have left Haotian Sect, each family has a different attitude."

"We, the Po clan, hate the Haotian Sect and Tang Hao very much. We can say that we will completely cut off all ties with them in the future. But this is not the case for the other three clans. Grandpa Baihe of the Min clan is Tang Hao and Tang Xiao's uncle, and they cannot give up the Haotian Sect. Grandpa Taitan, the patriarch of the Power clan, has always regarded Tang Hao as a benefactor, and it is estimated that it will be difficult for him to give up. As for my grandfather, I don't know what his specific attitude is."

"If they knew we had the immortal grass, the consequences would be very serious. Especially if the people from Haotian Sect knew about it, our Poyi Clan would not be able to survive at all."

"As for our clan members, after all, there are many people and many mouths, and the relationship between the immortal grass is too great. If even a little bit of it is leaked, it will be a disaster for our Po Yi clan."

Of course, Yang Podi didn't say one more thing. Although the Pozhi clan is a family, conflicts are likely to arise within the family. The magic grass should be kept in the hands of its own direct descendants. You can see that there are many factions within the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family, and even the clan leader's son Yu Xiaogang was forced out of the family.

After hearing this, Yang Zhentian thought for a long time, and finally sighed: "Son, you have thought very comprehensively, and this is the best choice for the family."

"But, son, what kind of magic herb are you going to give to me, your mother, and the two grandfathers?"

"Dad, you are already a Soul Saint now, I think this ninth-grade dragon mushroom is good. Both grandfathers are already Soul Douluo, I think we should use the Ten Thousand Years Ginseng King on them, so that they should have a chance to break through to the Titled Douluo."

"My martial soul is the Plate-Armored Giant Rhinoceros. I think the Earth-Attributed Earth Dragon Golden Gourd is pretty good."

"As for the elders of the family, I suggest using this ninth-grade purple fungus to refine medicine and give each of them a portion of the elixir. They should all be able to break through to Soul Douluo as soon as possible, and even have the hope of becoming Title Douluo."

"Dad, what do you think of my assignment?"

"Son, I have to say that the knowledge you've learned about alchemy over the past two years has really paid off. This allocation is indeed good, but what are you doing with all those immortal herbs?"

"I want to use the immortal grass as a family heirloom, and I also need to prepare some for Ping An and Tian Yue in advance."

"So what magical herb are you going to take?"

"Dad, I need your help. The Nine-Leaf Sword Grass is surrounded by sword energy. I can't remove it by myself. I need your help. Also, I think the Wangchuan Autumn Water Dew is very effective for me. I'll save it for later."

After hearing this, Yang Zhentian couldn't help but laughed and scolded: "You are quite good at choosing, that Nine-Leaf Sword Grass is the most suitable for our family. But at your current age, can you use it?"

"Don't worry, my current physical condition is still very good."

"Son, you are very thoughtful, but there is still a small problem."

Yang Podi was a little puzzled. Logically speaking, his allocation and plan were very good, so how could there be a problem?

Seeing the puzzlement on his son's face, he said, "Son, you are now a great soul master, only level 22. These immortal herbs are too precious. It's not safe for you to keep them with you. Why don't you let your dad keep them for you? Don't worry, I will pass them on to you in the future."

Hearing this, Yang Podi's face darkened. How could his father do this? He actually wanted to take away everything he had.

After some discussion, the two decided to keep all the magical herbs separately.

Yang Po Di had no choice but to take out all the magical herbs, and then took out a few that he was going to give to his family.

As if thinking of something, Yang Podi spoke again: "Dad, I think Grandpa can still be trusted. Should I leave one for him?"

Yang Zhentian looked at his son with a half-smile: "Oh, what do you want to leave for your grandfather? And it's best to choose something that won't be easily exposed."

"Dad, I think this ten thousand year old earth ganoderma is pretty good. It is a top-grade earth attribute herb, and it is not some kind of immortal herb. It can only be regarded as a herb with a high age. It is not hard to find outside. It is not considered an immortal product. It should not be exposed if I give it to grandpa."

"You little rascal, okay, I'll leave this to your grandpa, but it's better to let your mother give it to your grandpa secretly."

"Okay, let's do it!"

Then, the father and son began to pick some magical herbs one by one.

"I'm younger, let me choose first."

Hearing this, Yang Zhentian was amused: "Okay, son, I'll let you do it this time."

Yang Podi looked at all the jade boxes and chose the Qiluo Tulip fairy item first.

Yang Zhentian immediately chose Acacia Heartbroken Red.

Yang Podi chose the Qirong Tongtianju again.

Yang Zhentian immediately chose the eight-petal fairy orchid.

Yang Podi chose the Xingluo Lingzhu.

Yang Zhentian chose the cockscomb sunflower.

……

In this way, the father and son picked and chose, and finally divided all the magical herbs.

After distributing the immortal herbs, Yang Zhentian asked with a hint of amusement, "Son, why didn't you pick the Star Anise Mysterious Ice Grass and Fiery Apricot? Is it because you don't have enough soul power to pick them?"

Hearing this, Yang Podi couldn't help but complain: "Isn't it just relying on the cultivation of a Soul Sage? You actually look down on me, you know, I'm only eight years old."

"Dad, don't pick these two plants yet. When I reach Soul Master, I want to use them myself."

"Using it yourself? You'd be in danger."

"How can there be no danger in soul master training?"
