The guards looked at each other, their eyes revealing a hint of panic and helplessness.
One of the guards cautiously spoke, "Lord, this poisonous mist is too powerful, we really don't dare to approach rashly."
The middle-aged man glared at him fiercely: "A bunch of good-for-nothings! You can't even keep an eye on two people!"
Another guard quickly said, "Please calm your anger, Lord. Those two are full of tricks, especially the one who uses poison; his strength should not be underestimated. What should we do now?"
The middle-aged man roared, "Search for them immediately! Even if you have to turn Spirit Hall upside down, you must find them!"
"Yes, Lord!"
The guards responded in unison, then scattered to search for the two.
On the other side.
Zhuge Lan and Dugu Bo were teleported to another room in Spirit Hall through the Space-Time Gate.
This looked like a data storage room in Spirit Hall, with tall and old bookshelves lining the walls.
The bookshelves were stacked with various books and scrolls, seemingly narrating the unknown history of Spirit Hall.
"Where is this?"
Zhuge Lan looked at the items in the room with curiosity.
Dugu Bo immediately looked around warily, his spirit power surging slightly, maintaining a state of vigilance at all times.
Zhuge Lan said with a hint of surprise, "This seems to be a library! Could it be that we were directly teleported into Spirit Hall's library? Such a large Spirit Hall, this library must contain many treasures!"
Zhuge Lan's tone was filled with anticipation.
Dugu Bo, however, ignored him.
He snorted coldly and said, "Don't be careless. This is Spirit Hall, and we don't know what dangers are waiting for us."
Zhuge Lan waved his hand indifferently and laughed, "Old Poison, you're just too nervous. Look, we've already successfully shaken them off."
Saying that, he walked to a bookshelf, picked up a book at random, and flipped through it.
Dugu Bo frowned, looking at Zhuge Lan's casual actions, and warned him vigilantly, "Don't move randomly. It'll be over if you trigger some mechanism."
However, Zhuge Lan did not respond to his warning.
He was about to say something else, but was interrupted by Zhuge Lan's exclamation: "Wow, Old Poison, come and see! What is this?"
Zhuge Lan excitedly waved the book in his hand, his face full of pleasant surprise.
"What is it?"
Dugu Bo asked in confusion, quickly walked over, and took the book from Zhuge Lan's hand.

[Emotions Points + 123456]
He looked closely, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes: "This... My goodness, this is actually a secret recipe for making poison?"
Dugu Bo muttered to himself.
Zhuge Lan nodded excitedly again and again, saying excitedly, "That's right, that's right! It says here that the conditions for this secret recipe to succeed are extremely harsh. It requires a Soul Master with a very strong poisonous Spirit of the Spirit Douluo rank or above to succeed! Doesn't that mean you? Old Poison, you really hit the jackpot!"
Dugu Bo was not as excited as Zhuge Lan. He looked at the secret recipe carefully and said, puzzled, "This matter might not be as simple as it seems. Why would Spirit Hall's library have something like this?"
Zhuge Lan patted Dugu Bo's shoulder and laughed, "Oh, you just think too much. Why are you always so suspicious? Maybe this is heaven's favor on us. Think about it, throughout the entire Douluo Continent, Soul Masters like you who use poison as their Spirit are already very rare. Moreover, this secret recipe requires a poisonous Soul Master of Spirit Douluo rank or above to create, which is even rarer. So, it's normal for them to have this secret recipe but not be able to make it, and just keep it in the library."
Dugu Bo thought about it and felt that what Zhuge Lan said seemed to make sense.
He pretended to be reluctant and said, "Alright, if that's the case, then this old man will reluctantly accept this secret recipe, so that it can truly fulfill its purpose."
Dugu Bo contentedly stroked the poison recipe and unhesitatingly tucked it into his pocket.
Zhuge Lan also saw through his thoughts and chuckled, "You Old Poison, how can I not understand you? You say no, but your hands are very honest. But, if you can refine this kind of poison, then your strength can be greatly improved again, you know."
Dugu Bo rolled his eyes at Zhuge Lan and said ungraciously, "You're the clever one. But refining this poison must not be easy; I'll have to go back and study it thoroughly."
Zhuge Lan nodded, his gaze sweeping over the bookshelves again, muttering continuously, "Maybe there are other good things; let's keep looking."
Saying that, he began to shuttle and rummage among the bookshelves again, as if he had discovered a treasure trove and was searching for treasure within it.
Dugu Bo shook his head helplessly, reminding him, "Hey, hey, don't forget what we came here for. Are we still saving the person?"
Zhuge Lan replied without turning his head, "Oh, I know, I know! Of course we're saving them, but we can't let go of ready-made treasures either. Maybe if we find some powerful things, saving them will be even easier."
After all, it was rare to come to the library of Spirit Hall, and logically speaking, the number one Spirit Hall in the World must have many treasures.
He could just see if there was anything in Zhuge Lan's system illustration that hadn't been unlocked.
If he could unlock one or two illustrations, he could also receive some good rewards.
But Dugu Bo became anxious:
"Hurry up! I don't want to stay here for another moment. The longer we stay, the more dangerous it becomes. It will be troublesome if those people from Spirit Hall find us."
Zhuge Lan also understood Dugu Bo's thoughts; after all, Spirit Hall was Dugu Bo's inner demon.
Back then, he almost lost his life here...
"Alright, alright, let's go then. Let's go save Su Biluo first. Saving people comes first."
Zhuge Lan reluctantly looked at the bookshelves full of books and scrolls, then turned and walked towards the main door.
Zhuge Lan quickly walked to the door, raised his right hand, and pushed hard.
However, that door remained motionless like a mountain.
His expression instantly changed slightly, his brows furrowed, and after gritting his teeth, he pushed again with even greater force.
But the door still didn't react, as if it was firmly held by a mysterious and powerful force.
"I'm really fed up. Why is this door locked!"
He cursed in a low voice, his tone full of helplessness.
Dugu Bo also walked over, and he raised his left hand.
Then, he concentrated this spirit power on his hands and gently applied it to the door.
Even so, the door remained exactly as it was.
"I still don't believe it."
Zhuge Lan walked forward angrily and gave the door a hard slap.
However, this slap not only failed to open the door.
Instead, the sound it made was heard by the Spirit Hall guards outside the room...
"Who's in there!"
