Chapter 36: Dugu Bo Secludes Himself, Various Factions Vie for Immortal Herbs
The sky has fallen!
Dugu Bo only felt as if the sky had fallen.
He never would have imagined that Tang San's greatest opportunity was actually in his backyard.
At this moment, Dugu Bo wished he could slap himself twice to wake up.
He had guarded the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well for so many years, yet he had no idea that the plants growing there were Immortal Herbs, rarely seen in the world.
He had only just learned the name Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
The main reason was that he hadn't read much!
He couldn't recognize the Immortal Herbs, nor did he know their effects.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have had them all snatched by Tang San.
"Grandpa, this Tang San is too detestable."
"You even considered him a close friend despite the age difference, yet he didn't leave you a single Immortal Herb."
"He'd rather distribute the Immortal Herbs to the Shrek Seven Devils and Yu Xiaogang than leave one for our Dugu family."
"This person doesn't truly consider you a friend at all."
Dugu Yan, feeling indignant, complained with a puffed-out face.
Although she wasn't clear on how her grandpa had come to know and befriend Tang San,
Seeing this scene, Dugu Yan felt she had to encourage her grandpa to distance himself from this scoundrel.
She couldn't see any sincerity from Tang San toward Dugu Bo.
Anyway, they now knew the method of detoxification from the Sky Curtain video.
Even without Tang San, they would no longer suffer from the Jade Phosphor Serpent Poison.
"Grandpa, with so many Immortal Herbs, perhaps our Dugu family can rise from this and become a major power on the continent."
Dugu Yan pulled Dugu Bo's arm, excitement evident in her voice.
The Shrek Seven Devils, after consuming Immortal Herbs, all gained the potential to become gods.
From this, it was clear how valuable Immortal Herbs were.
If Dugu Bo were to consume Immortal Herbs, his soul power level would breakthrough.
His cultivation would certainly not stop at level 92.
Perhaps, relying on these Immortal Herbs, the Dugu family could cultivate many descendants with the potential to become gods.
Dugu Yan was full of beautiful fantasies about the future.
But Dugu Bo knew that although the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was an opportunity, it was also a hot potato.
The miraculous uses of Immortal Herbs had now become known throughout the continent.
How could the various factions not be tempted by them?
If Dugu Bo guessed correctly,
Someone was probably already on their way.
The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was destined to incite a bloody struggle.
And he, as a level 92 Titled Douluo,
simply could not guard such a great opportunity against the covetous eyes of the factions.
"Yan Yan, come with me!"
"We'll go to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to avoid the limelight!"
Dugu Bo, having lived for many years, clearly understood his current predicament: he had to keep a low profile.
If he didn't disappear from the public eye quickly,
Spirit Hall, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, the Star Luo Empire, and even the reclusive Clear Sky Sect—along with some loose cultivators—would all come knocking.
Being at the center of the vortex was not a good thing.
Perhaps they would be torn apart by the struggles of various factions.
Dugu Bo's words made Dugu Yan react.
She wasn't stupid; upon careful thought, their current troubles were indeed not small.
Without hesitation, Dugu Yan immediately set off with Dugu Bo for the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to hide.
The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was located in the Sunset Forest, a very secluded spot.
Currently, apart from Dugu Bo, no one else knows its exact location.
By avoiding the limelight, Dugu Bo could also take the opportunity to learn more about Immortal Herbs.
Otherwise, guarding such a large "gold mine" without understanding it would be too great a loss.

On the other side…
Just as Dugu Bo had predicted, Ning Fengzhi's eyes turned red when he saw that an Immortal Herb could evolve the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Martial Soul into a Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.
"Bone Douluo, Rongrong, let's go to Heaven Dou City now and negotiate with Dugu Bo for the Beautiful Silk Tulip Immortal Herb."
"No matter what, our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect must obtain this Immortal Herb."
"If there are more, this will be an opportunity for our sect to rise."
Ning Fengzhi became excited, his voice rising involuntarily by three points.
If their Martial Soul could evolve into a Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda,
Their cultivation limit would not only be raised,
But there would also be hope of becoming a god!
Ning Fengzhi could not resist such temptation.
Bone Douluo unleashed his spatial power!
He took Ning Fengzhi and Ning Rongrong and rushed toward Heaven Dou City without stopping.
Along the way, Ning Fengzhi and Ning Rongrong's hearts could not calm down.
Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan!
Yu Yuanzhen made his move again!
"This time, I absolutely cannot miss the Immortal Herb!"
Yu Yuanzhen raced like the wind, leaving a trail of sparks and lightning, traveling by soul power directly to Heaven Dou City.
Last time, missing Xiao Wu, a 100,000-year-old Soul Beast, Yu Yuanzhen was so angry he slapped his thigh.
He couldn't eat or sleep for several days.
This time, Yu Yuanzhen wanted to be the fastest to arrive before everyone else.
This was an opportunity for the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan to rise.
Above the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, everyone only saw a lightning-like figure streaking rapidly across the sky.
Clear Sky Sect!
Tang Xiao and the Five Great Elders began discussing descending the mountain.
They also wanted a share of the Immortal Herbs from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
There was no reason for the Clear Sky Sect to stand by and watch such an opportunity pass by.
Besides Spirit Hall, they feared no other faction.
"That kid Tang San, as a reincarnated person, is indeed an ungrateful wretch; he has no sense of honor for the Sect."
"He distributed the Immortal Herbs to so many outsiders, yet he didn't leave a single one for any other members of the sect."
Second Elder snorted coldly, his attitude toward Tang San plummeting.
Originally, he had intended to focus on cultivating the boy, seeing his potential to become a god.
Now, it seemed there was no need.
Tang San had no feelings for the Clear Sky Sect at all.
Unlike them, who always prioritized the sect's interests.
Tang Xiao's expression grew heavy upon hearing this.
Although he didn't want to interfere with Tang Hao's family matters,
He knew that Tang San indeed harbored little affection for the sect.
This was not a good sign.
If Tang San didn't intend to contribute to the sect or seek benefits for it, then no matter how high his future achievements,
They would be meaningless to the sect.
"Elders, this time I will personally descend the mountain to meet with Tang Yuehua."
"Tang Yuehua has been dealing with various factions in Heaven Dou City for years; she should be able to handle Dugu Bo, and acquiring a few Immortal Herbs won't be difficult."
"As for Tang San, Brother Hao has his judgment!"
Tang Xiao changed the subject, preparing to descend the mountain.
The Second Elder nodded in support.
While Tang Xiao was away, he would preside over all sect matters.
With Tang Yuehua—known as the "social butterfly"—they indeed had an advantage over other factions.
Tang Yuehua established the Moon Pavilion in Heaven Dou City, where she received high-ranking visitors daily.
Countless nobles and imperial descendants attended her classes.
Even if Dugu Bo was reclusive, Tang Yuehua should be capable of handling him.
After all, that was her profession!
Tang Yuehua became an influential figure in Heaven Dou City because of her unique domain and abilities.
To describe her in one sentence: friends everywhere!
