The next morning.
Ling Yun, disguised as the Master, rented a carriage early in the morning under the pretense of taking Tang San to the Spirit Hunter Forest to find spirit rings, and left Notting City.
Of course, Ling Yun only rode the carriage to 50 kilometers outside the city before dismounting.
He paid the fare and watched the carriage disappear into the distance.
Ling Yun then transformed into his Dark Demon Evil God Tiger form and headed toward the forest.
The carriage ride would take two full days, but in the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger state, he arrived in only about four hours.
To avoid attracting attention, Ling Yun flew at an altitude of 10,000 meters.
At that height, his ten-meter body was smaller than a mosquito.
Along the way, no townsfolk noticed him flying overhead, tirelessly pressing forward.
Upon reaching the Sunset Forest, Ling Yun descended into the woods.
He carefully restrained his aura, uncertain whether Dugu Bo was at home.
Though he could easily defeat Dugu Bo, raiding someone's home was immoral.
To avoid unnecessary trouble, it was better to be cautious.
Ling Yun made his way to the mountaintop he had scouted dozens of times before. Ahead lay a downward-cone-shaped valley.
Thick steam rose from the valley, the scent of sulfur strong in the air, and the temperature noticeably higher than the outside.
Looking down at the hot springs, Ling Yun's massive tiger mouth curved into a grin.
Finally, he had arrived—the Ice-Fire Duality Eye, as described in the original story, lay within these springs.
Ling Yun leapt from the mountaintop, quickly reaching the valley's hot springs. The spring was small, divided into two sections:
One part milky white, the other crimson red. Rarely does a single pool have such clear separation of colors.
Ling Yun knew this was one of the three treasure pools described in the Xuan Tian Treasure Record—the Ice-Fire Duality Eye.
At that moment, the entire area was empty. Ling Yun's heart leapt—he was about to get rich!
He quickly shifted from Dark Demon Evil God Tiger form to six-year-old Tang San form and activated his Zi Ji Demon Eye.
With 12,030 years of cultivation powering the Zi Ji Demon Eye, its effect surpassed that of fifteen-year-old Tang San.
Around the Ice-Fire Duality Eye grew a variety of plants, most of them rare species listed in the Xuan Tian Treasure Record.
Ling Yun licked his lips and began ruthlessly collecting all harvestable treasures.
"Dance Grass, Fragrant Qi Luo Immortal Herb! Neutralizes all toxins—cannot detoxify itself but counters poisons. Mine!"
"Dance Grass, Qi Rong Tong Tian Chrysanthemum—this should belong to Dai Mubai. Mine!"
"Heartbreak Red Acacia—this is for Xiao Wu, I'll hold it for her first."
…
Ling Yun moved through the Ice-Fire Duality Eye like a wolf among sheep.
Anything harvestable, he grabbed, stuffing it into a 20 cubic meter space he had created.
Afterward, he also picked the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Blazing Apricot Bloom.
In the original story, consuming these together grants a water-fire immunity body.
Without hesitation, Ling Yun shifted back into Dark Demon Evil God Tiger form and swallowed the herbs.
Tang San's body was too weak for medicinal ingestion; in Dark Demon Evil God Tiger form, his terrifying constitution could easily withstand the backlash.
After consuming the two herbs, Ling Yun lay on the ground, feeling the violent impact of heat and cold surging from his abdomen, his face showing shock. He hadn't expected such a strong reaction even with his constitution.
However, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's powerful body soon absorbed the pain, and the suffering dissipated.
Consuming these two herbs didn't increase Tang San's spirit power in the original story, and it didn't for Ling Yun either.
But it expanded all his meridians in Dark Demon Evil God Tiger form and granted him water-fire immunity.
After absorbing the herbs, he took out the Qi Rong Tong Tian Chrysanthemum and Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid, swallowing them all at once.
Since he could withstand two herbs, he assumed three would be fine.
Unexpectedly, swallowing three simultaneously caused a massive reaction, like swallowing three bombs that exploded at once.
Pain surged throughout his body; he swelled like a balloon, blood oozing from his massive tiger face.
He roared in pain and leapt into the cold spring of the Ice-Fire Duality Eye to ease the suffering.
"Roar…"
His deafening tiger roar echoed far and wide. The aura he had restrained began to spread uncontrollably.
At the same time, his cultivation soared at a visible rate, increasing as though a thousand years at a time.
At home, Dugu Bo, cultivating in his own space, heard the roar. His expression changed.
He sensed the roar came from his medicinal herb plot—his lifeline.
He hurried out toward the Ice-Fire Duality Eye.
Ling Yun rolled on the ground in agony, feeling like he would explode. His cultivation had already skyrocketed to 180,000 years, and the surge hadn't stopped.
When Dugu Bo arrived at his herb garden, all harvestable herbs were gone.
In the cold spring, a jet-black tiger with wings writhed, its cultivation approaching 200,000 years. Dark clouds gathered overhead, thunder rolling through the sky.
Dugu Bo's face grew solemn. As a Title Douluo, he had heard that spirit beasts undergo a lightning tribulation every 100,000 years.
He had thought it a legend—yet here before him was a 200,000-year-old spirit beast, no, a ferocious beast.
If this black tiger survives the tribulation, it would be a 200,000-year ferocious beast!
Dugu Bo didn't know whether to feel lucky or unlucky.
Lucky, he would witness the birth of a 200,000-year ferocious beast.
Unlucky, so many of his herbs had been devoured by the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger nearing 200,000 years.
At that moment, his heart was filled with mixed emotions.
