Afterward, Di Tian, Bi Ji, Zi Ji, and the Myriad Demon Tree King, along with a group of ten-thousand-year plant Soul Beasts from the Star Dou Great Forest, set off in a grand procession toward the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
Among the Vicious Beasts, only the Darkgolden Terrorclaw Bear, Lord Bear, and the Scarlet King remained to guard the Star Dou Great Forest. However, this was sufficient.
Ordinary Spirit Masters would not wander into the core zone for no reason, especially near the Lake of Life. Moreover, besides the two of them, there were many other ten-thousand-year and hundred-thousand-year Vicious Beasts stationed there.
Now that they had learned the Cultivation Technique provided by Furina, their strength had reached a new level; even if a Limit Douluo were to break in, they wouldn't gain any advantage.
Lord Bear had initially felt a bit disgruntled—guarding the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well would have been greatly beneficial for Cultivation, so who wouldn't want to go?
But Di Tian directly stuffed all the Immortal Herbs he had brought back from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well into his and the Scarlet King's hands.
Although some of the attributes didn't quite match, having them was better than nothing; after all, they were rare treasures. Even if the effects on themselves were slightly subpar, they would be excellent to leave for their descendants.
Lord Bear and the Scarlet King had nothing more to say.
Meanwhile, Furina quickly boarded a carriage and returned to Shrek Academy.
Just as she entered the academy gates, she spotted Tang Ya strolling down the street from a distance.
"Tang Ya!" Furina hurriedly waved her hand.
Tang Ya turned at the sound, a smile appearing on her Face: "Furina! You're back?"
"Yeah." Furina nodded and glanced around. "By the way, why aren't you with Bei Bei?"
Tang Ya said, "Don't you know? The Shrek preparatory team and the current Seven Monsters have gone on a mission with the Inspection Team. They won't be back for several days."
"Oh, that. I just took some leave to go out and only got back today," Furina explained.
"I see." Tang Ya responded, the smile on her Face gradually replaced by worry. "I hope nothing happens to them... I heard the casualty rate for Inner Court Disciples is quite high."
Furina reached out and patted her shoulder, comforting her in a relaxed tone: "Don't worry, it'll be fine. I left some life-saving things for Yuhao and the others. As long as they eat them in advance, it shouldn't be a problem."
She paused and gave a mysterious smile. "Right, I have something good here. Do you want to take a look?"
Tang Ya's curiosity was piqued: "What good thing?"
Furina pulled a book from her robe—the very one she had obtained from You You. "It's this. It was left behind by your Tang Sect ancestor, but unfortunately, it wasn't kept in the Tang Sect."
Tang Ya took the book and eagerly began flipping through it. As she read, her expression gradually became complex.
"So that's how it is..." she murmured. "I wondered why some poison recipes were missing from the Tang Sect Hidden Weapons; it turns out they were all left here..."
She flipped to a certain page, her fingers tightening slightly: "And the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well... such a wonderful place, why wasn't it left to the Tang Sect? If we had it, the Tang Sect wouldn't have fallen into such ruin! At the very least, we would have had the financial and human resources to develop spirit tools, and even the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul might have evolved into the Blue Silver King or Blue Silver Emperor..."
Her voice carried a hint of resentment. Ultimately, it was because of Furina that her blind worship of the ancestor Tang San had gradually faded, leaving only disappointment.
The Mysterious Heaven Skill was left as an incomplete version, and now even the medicinal and poison chapters of the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record were separated and not passed down to Tang Sect descendants. Instead, they were hidden in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to wait for some 'Destined Person.' It's truly ridiculous.
In the records passed down by the Tang Sect, there was absolutely no mention of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. If not for Furina, she probably wouldn't have known such a place existed in her entire life.
If you don't even know of its existence, don't know where it is, what its characteristics are, or what clues lead to it, how are you supposed to find it?
Moreover, with the Tang Sect in such a state of decline, where would they find any supreme powerhouses? Where would they find the energy to explore a place they'd never even heard of?
"A Destined Person? Heh." Tang Ya gave a cold laugh. "If there truly were such a thing as destiny, it wouldn't be someone from my Tang Sect."
She closed the book and handed it back to Furina: "Thank you."
"You're welcome." Furina didn't take it, pushing the book back. "Keep the book for now. You can copy the medicinal and poison chapters to complete your Tang Sect's Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record."
Tang Ya was stunned for a moment, her eyes reddening slightly as she solemnly put the book away: "My thanks!"
"By the way," Furina added, "that treasure land also has many ten-thousand-year plant Soul Beasts, including the world's only seven absolutes of jade scale flower. That's a very strong control system plant, practically a King of Poisons."
Tang Ya was somewhat surprised but quickly calmed down: "Is that so? Such plant Soul Beasts still exist? I thought they had gone extinct long ago."
She muttered to herself, "That thing must have a much better spirit ring effect than a Datura Snake or a Man Faced Demon Spider, right?"
She already had the answer in her heart; the seven absolutes of jade scale flower was a king among control system plants, and like Blue Silver Grass, it was a plant. According to Furina's words, it should be quite compatible with Blue Silver Grass.
