"Thank you, Sect Master Nan. I'll visit your sect in a few days. We'll take our leave for now." Huo Yuhao politely said, then turned and left with Tang Ya. Would Nan Shuishui run off with the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast or renege on the deal? There was no need to worry about that. After all, he had an awesome master!
"Oh, right, Sect Master Nan, I should remind you. That woman and her husband had a deep relationship. Now that her husband is dead, she has lost the will to live and might commit suicide to follow him. You need to be prepared for that."
After taking a few steps, Huo Yuhao thought of the white-haired woman's feelings for her husband and turned to remind Nan Shuishui, lest she failed to secure the prize and came crying to him.
"Alright, I understand. Thank you for the reminder, young master." Nan Shuishui's eyes flickered. She didn't expect a transformed Soul Beast to have such deep feelings. However, it wasn't a difficult problem. She could simply use some methods to keep the woman asleep. She wouldn't have to worry about her starving, just find a food-type Soul Master to keep her alive with IV drips.
"Mom, that's a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast! He just gave it to us so easily?" After Huo Yuhao and Tang Ya were far away, Nan Qiuqiu spoke, curiously sizing up the white-haired woman. She looked as if she had seen some rare species.
In fact, for Soul Masters, a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast was something they dreamed of, especially a transformed one.
Nan Shuishui sighed, "Otherwise, what do you think? With the Ben Ti Sect's power, a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast's soul ring isn't anything. Moreover, this transformed Soul Beast isn't suitable for him."
"Actually, I value the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone more. With it, it won't be difficult for you to break through to Titled Douluo in the future."
"Mom." Nan Qiuqiu finally understood that the reason her mother agreed so readily was because of her.
"Qiuqiu, you need to work harder. Look at that child, he's only twelve years old, and he's already a Soul Ancestor. His true strength is even more extraordinary, at least at the Soul Saint level. Then look at you. Although your talent is a little lacking, your cultivation is a little low, and your strength is a little weak, that's no reason for you not to work hard!" Nan Shuishui said earnestly, with a look that said she was doing this for her daughter's own good.
"Mom!"
Nan Qiuqiu pouted in dissatisfaction. What mother spoke about her daughter like that? In her mother's words, Nan Qiuqiu felt like a useless waste.
On the other side, after Huo Yuhao and Tang Ya left, Tang Ya couldn't help but ask, "Yuhao, that was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. You just gave it to them like that? Don't you feel bad?"
Not to mention Huo Yuhao himself, Tang Ya felt sorry for him. A Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, a treasure that soul masters on the continent dreamed of, had never been so close to them. Tang Ya felt that she probably wouldn't see one again in her lifetime.
"Little Ya, you have to take a long-term view. Besides, that soul beast was just a pleasant surprise, and it's not suitable for me." In contrast, Huo Yuhao was exceptionally calm. He had originally planned to capture it and let his master deal with it.
He would raise it first, and then give it to the Ben Ti Sect when a Soul Douluo there broke through. However, after meeting Nan Shuishui, he changed his mind. The Myriad Years Cold Ice Marrow was worth no less than a ferocious beast. What constituted a ferocious beast? A cultivation of at least two hundred thousand years was required to be considered a ferocious beast.
In the original novel, Xue Di mentioned that absorbing the Myriad Years Cold Ice Marrow from the Earth Dragon Gate wouldn't just be a dream for her to become a god. This alone shows how precious the Myriad Years Cold Ice Marrow is.
In the original novel, Nan Shuishui foolishly gave that cave to Dai Yuhao. Not only did Dai Yuhao's cultivation increase significantly, but the rare metals mined from it also contributed to the Tang Sect's soul tool development. Dai Yuhao benefited so much, yet he didn't share any profits with Nan Shuishui. He was truly heartless.
Tang Ya looked at Huo Yuhao with suspicion. "You're thinking long-term, aren't you? You're probably interested in her daughter, aren't you?"
Huo Yuhao: "..."
He didn't bother arguing with her and sped up their journey. Their current location was very close to the fourth area on the map.
As they walked, both of them realized something was wrong. A faint white mist began to appear in the air. At first, they didn't notice it, but as they continued, the mist grew thicker.
"This is miasma. It should be formed after the corpses of soul beasts and animals rot. But how could corpses in the Sunset Forest have a chance to rot? Shouldn't they have been eaten by other soul beasts?" Tang Ya felt very strange. As a master of poison, she knew how this miasma was generated just by smelling it.
"Hehe, it seems we're not far from our destination." Huo Yuhao understood something after hearing Tang Ya's words and wasn't too worried.
"You mean, the Ice Fire Yin-Yang Well is nearby?" Tang Ya became excited as well.
Huo Yuhao nodded slightly. "That's right. Hundreds, even thousands, of Azure Phosphorus Nine Absolutes Flowers grow around the Ice Fire Yin-Yang Well, and most of them are even ten-thousand-year soul beasts."
"So, what do we do? Since you know so much, you must have a plan," Tang Ya asked casually, knowing that Huo Yuhao's detailed knowledge meant he'd prepared.
"It would have been troublesome before, but now, I have both the right time and the right place, hehe." Huo Yuhao chuckled lightly, looking up at the sky. A few raindrops fell on his face, feeling slightly cool.
The drizzling rain dampened the willow trees and peach blossoms, the banana leaves of the forest plants, and the clothes of the two.
"Follow me closely, or I can't guarantee your safety." With that, Huo Yuhao continued forward. At the same time, a nearly four-hundred-thousand-year-old blood-red soul ring rose from under Huo Yuhao's feet.
As the soul ring appeared, a phantom of a jade-green scorpion flickered behind him, its tail gently swaying, making people feel a chill. The terrifying aura emanating from the scorpion made everyone tremble with fear.
After the Ice Jade Scorpion Martial Soul was summoned, the surrounding temperature dropped rapidly. When the temperature dropped to a certain critical point, tiny ice crystals appeared in the air. The falling raindrops around Huo Yuhao were instantly frozen into ice lumps in the extreme cold.
Puff, puff, puff!
Like hail, ice lumps fell to the ground.
Beneath the ice and snow, the miasma could no longer affect the two of them. They continued forward, and even as the white miasma gradually thickened, it still couldn't stop their progress.
Ten minutes later, the mist ahead became even denser, displaying seven colors: red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple. It looked like a fairyland, beautiful and enchanting.
But this wasn't a fairyland; it was the poison released by the Azure Phosphorus Seven Absolutes Flower, one of the most poisonous plants in the world.
Its poison not only had a strong corrosive effect, considered the most corrosive, but also contained potent neurotoxins.
Once contaminated, not only would the body be corroded, but one would also endure unimaginable pain.
"Interesting, it can actually block my detection." Huo Yuhao murmured softly. He had tried to use his powerful mental strength to probe the scene ahead, but something seemed to be mixed in with the colorful poisonous mist, greatly reducing the range of his mental detection.
Without hesitation, the two of them continued to advance. Along the way, everything they passed – the roads, the plants – was completely frozen.
Tang Ya, who was always following Huo Yuhao, was shivering from the cold. She knew this was only because Huo Yuhao was deliberately protecting her; otherwise, she would have been an ice sculpture long ago.
