...
Feeling the temperature of his wife's palm, Luo Nan managed to squeeze out a faint smile and patted Tang Yuehua's hand:
"It's nothing. I just used a bit of effort when hunting that hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beast, and suffered a slight injury. A few days of recuperation will be fine."
He did not tell Tang Yuehua about Bibi Dong.
He had to wash away this humiliation with his own hands; telling Tang Yuehua would have no meaning other than making her worry in vain.
In the following days, Luo Nan asked Granny Ye Ci to use the Nine Heart Begonia to heal his injuries.
At this moment, Luo Nan suddenly felt extremely fortunate that he had given the nine-graded purple ganoderma to Granny Ye Ci back then, allowing Granny Ye Ci to recover to her Peak state.
Otherwise, without the Nine Heart Begonia, how could he have recovered from his injuries so quickly?
After his injuries healed, Luo Nan entered the secret room to go into seclusion.
Inside the secret room, Luo Nan sat cross-legged with his brows tightly knitted.
On the palm of his left hand, a cluster of dazzling golden light was leaping; that was the light and sacred power of the Golden Sacred Dragon.
Meanwhile, on the palm of his right hand was a black vortex as deep as ink, exuding the aura of the Dark Demon Dragon that devoured everything.
"Light and dark are inherently two extremes."
"I forcibly accommodated them within a single body. Previously, because the Dark Demon Dragon had not attached a high-Rank spirit ring, it could barely maintain a balance."
"Now that I have absorbed the 180,000-year Nether Sea Dragon Beast, the dark attribute has surged, and the balance has been completely shattered."
Luo Nan tried to slowly bring the two forces close together.
"Zizizi—"
The moment they made contact, light and dark met like water and fire, erupting into a violent repulsive reaction.
Luo Nan let out a muffled groan, a trace of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, and hurriedly dispersed the two forces.
"It won't work, they simply cannot be reconciled."
"My body is like a powder keg. As long as I use my full strength even slightly, these two forces will blow me to smithereens first."
Luo Nan leaned against the wall in some despair.
Could it be that after going through all sorts of schemes to reach this step, he would ultimately become a cripple because of a Spirit conflict?
No, absolutely not!
All records regarding twin spirits on the Douluo Continent flashed rapidly through his mind.
Yu Xiaogang's theory?
That's simply a joke!
How did Bibi Dong solve it?
Those were two spider Spirits, with similar attributes.
"Divine Power... attributes..."
Luo Nan's eyes suddenly lit up.
If human wisdom cannot solve this problem, what about Spirit Beasts?
What about those Vicious Beasts that have lived for hundreds of thousands of years and possess ancient Legacies?
A massive and majestic figure emerged in Luo Nan's mind—the Beast God, Di Tian!
"This old thing Di Tian has lived for so many years and is well-informed."
"Since he could see through my Dark Demon Dragon Spirit at a glance, perhaps he has a way to solve the problem of the light and dark conflict!"
The more Luo Nan thought about it, the more feasible it seemed.
As a descendant of the Dragon Clan, Di Tian's understanding of the Dragon Clan's Bloodline and attributes definitely far exceeded that of humans.
However, what would be the price of asking Di Tian for help?
Luo Nan's expression flickered between cloudy and clear.
He was well aware that Di Tian had always coveted the remains of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings beneath the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
If he went to beg him, Di Tian would definitely use this as a condition to make him reveal the location of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
"The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well is my greatest treasury. Hand it over? That's too big a loss."
Luo Nan paced back and forth in the secret room, his heart caught in a fierce internal struggle.
To hand it over, or not to hand it over?
"Damn it, if my life is gone, what use is a treasure land!"
Luo Nan slammed the table hard and made up his mind.
If the Spirit problem is not solved, this is a time bomb that could detonate at any time.
Let alone seeking revenge on Bibi Dong, he could drop dead at any moment.
"However, I cannot hand it over for nothing."
"The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well is so huge; at worst, I can negotiate with Di Tian and we can share it."
"He wants the Dragon King's remains, and I want the Immortal Plants; each takes what they need."
"As long as I can recover my strength or even go a step further, there will be plenty of opportunities to get my payback in the future!"
Having made up his mind, Luo Nan hesitated no longer. He immediately pushed open the door of the secret room and began arranging matters for leaving Heaven Dou City.
He first found Tang Yuehua.
"Yuehua, I need to leave Heaven Dou City for a period of time and make a trip to the depths of the Star Dou Great Forest."
Tang Yuehua was slightly stunned, a trace of worry flashing in her eyes:
"Your injuries only just healed a few days ago, why are you going to the Star Dou Great Forest again? It's too dangerous there."
"Rest assured, I am not going to hunt Spirit Beasts this time."
"I am going to see an old friend and ask him to help me solve some problems."
Luo Nan pulled Tang Yuehua into his arms and gently comforted her:
"Stay well in the Moon Pavilion. With Dugu Bo around, no one in Heaven Dou City dares to touch you."
After pacifying Tang Yuehua, Luo Nan immediately summoned Dugu Bo.
"Old Poison, I am going to leave for a period of time."
Luo Nan sat in the main seat, looking at Dugu Bo standing respectfully below, and said in a deep voice.
Dugu Bo's heart tightened, and he quickly cupped his hands:
"Rest assured, Master, this old man will definitely guard the safety of the Moon Pavilion and the mistress with my life!"
"Mm, I am at ease with how you handle things."
Luo Nan nodded.
"During this period, you are not allowed to go anywhere. You must stay firmly planted in Heaven Dou City."
"Not only must you protect the Moon Pavilion, but you must also closely monitor the movements of the royal family and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."
"Although that old bone Gu Rong is having his life dragged out, Ning Fengzhi will never sit still and await death."
"If there is any disturbance, send me a message immediately."
"Understood!" Dugu Bo agreed solemnly.
After explaining the defense matters, Luo Nan thought of his two cheap disciples, Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling.
He came to the martial arts practice field in the backyard of the Moon Pavilion and saw the two little girls working hard on physical training.
After this period of conditioning and cultivation, both of their Soul Powers had reached Rank 10, officially making them Spirit Scholars.
Seeing Luo Nan arrive, Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling quickly stopped what they were doing and bowed respectfully: "Master!"
Luo Nan looked them over and nodded with satisfaction:
"Not bad, your Foundations are laid very solidly. I heard you are preparing to hunt for your first spirit ring?"
Dugu Yan nodded excitedly:
"Yes, Master. Grandpa said he plans to take us to the outer perimeter of the Sunset Forest to find two suitable hundred-year Spirit Beasts."
"Don't rush yet!"
"Hundred-year Spirit Beasts are too poor for you."
"Let me tell you, don't go hunting for spirit rings just yet."
"With your current physical fitness, absorbing a four-hundred-year spirit ring is your limit."
"I want you to settle down first and continue polishing your Physical Body!"
"But Master, without absorbing spirit rings, our Soul Power cannot continue to improve."
"Yes, Master! We will definitely not let you down!" Ye Lingling said timidly.
"Soul Power failing to improve does not mean your strength cannot improve."
"Believe me, during this period you will continue to Cultivate and continue polishing your bodies."
"When I return, I will teach you a Body Refining method that will greatly enhance your body's strength by then!"
"Yes! Master, we will Cultivate well!"
Having arranged everything on hand, Luo Nan did not alert anyone and, taking advantage of the night, left Heaven Dou City alone.
