Chapter 45: Leave! The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well

Tang Yuehua cried out in surprise, throwing a pillow at Tang Hao and Tang Xiao, her face flushed with both embarrassment and anger.

"Leave!"

Tang Hao and Tang Xiao were stunned.

They saw Tang Yuehua lying on the bed with her cheeks flushed. Upon noticing their entrance, she slightly propped herself up, glaring at them in anger.

Was Tang Yuehua really resting?

Was she not in the state they had feared?

Was she not about to do something foolish, like suicide?

A pillow flew through the air, and Tang Hao instinctively reached out to catch it, his face awkward.

"Yuehua, if something's wrong, you should tell us. Since you're resting, we won't disturb you!"

Tang Xiao hurriedly spoke, turning around to leave.

Tang Hao set the pillow down and followed Tang Xiao out.

Though they were siblings, with Tang Yuehua resting, they felt it inappropriate to stay in the room.

Creak.

After leaving the room, Tang Hao gently closed the door. He paused for a moment, then they both continued down the stairs, leaving the fifth floor.

"Elder Brother, Yuehua definitely cried just now!"

Tang Hao suddenly spoke up.

When he caught the pillow Tang Yuehua had thrown, he distinctly felt some moisture from the tears that had stained it.

"I know!"

Tang Xiao nodded, having noticed the tears in Tang Yuehua's beautiful eyes earlier, and her face was red, clearly not just from the anger at their unexpected intrusion.

"I think Yuehua might be sick. Her complexion is abnormally flushed!"

Tang Xiao said.

"What should we do?"

Tang Hao asked.

"Let's stay here and wait. Yuehua will come out eventually!"

"Mm!"

...

Zhou Yi crawled out from under the blankets.

That's right.

When he sensed Tang Xiao and Tang Hao about to break down the door, Zhou Yi immediately lifted Tang Yuehua into his arms and hid under the blankets.

He concealed his aura, so Tang Xiao and Tang Hao naturally couldn't detect him!

"You bastard..."

Tang Yuehua was livid when she saw Zhou Yi, thinking about what would have happened if they were caught. How could she face them? She'd probably be socially dead!

"I'll get back at you!"

Tang Yuehua angrily lunged at Zhou Yi.

Zhou Yi didn't indulge her.

He was in no mood to do so.

...

Tang Xiao and Tang Hao, down on the lower floor, sipped tea, but their hearts were filled with anxiety, self-blame, and intense anger toward the flower-thief.

Even a cup of green tea couldn't quench the fury burning in their hearts.

Unfortunately, the flower-thief was already dead.

They had no place to vent their anger.

One hour later.

Zhou Yi lay with a clear mind, staring at the ceiling, feeling the soft warmth in his arms, and couldn't help but sigh:

"This has been a crazy morning!"

He looked down at the sleeping Tang Yuehua in his arms, her eyes still stained with a few tears, as though she had been through a heavy ordeal. Her face was incredibly beautiful, still tinged with a persistent redness, resembling a charming beauty in the throes of intoxication.

"Yuehua!"

Zhou Yi gently nudged Tang Yuehua, but found she was sleeping deeply.

"Don't blame me for leaving without a word!"

Zhou Yi chuckled helplessly. He gently laid Tang Yuehua on the side, then carefully pulled himself out of bed.

After glancing at the still-unwakened beauty, Zhou Yi applied some medicine to her, covered her with the blanket, and left a bottle of Nine Flower Jade Dew Cream on the bedside.

"Ha!"

Letting out a deep breath, Zhou Yi tightened his belt and stepped out, disappearing into the room in an instant.

He was not someone without emotion.

After returning from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, he would come to see Tang Yuehua again.

The spiritual medicine from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well might help Tang Yuehua evolve her Martial Soul, allowing her to cultivate.

Of course, even if it didn't, as Zhou Yi's woman, he could still provide her with a cultivation method, allowing her to continue her cultivation.

Zhou Yi was fast. He disappeared from the fifth floor of Yue Xuan in a flash, soaring into the sky. Even Tang Hao and Tang Xiao downstairs didn't notice.

Blue skies and white clouds.

Green mountains and clear waters.

Zhou Yi stood at the top of the clouds, gazing down at the majestic mountains and rivers below, feeling an indescribable sense of exhilaration and comfort throughout his body.

A beautiful spring day is no match for a dream!

Master of Moon Pavilion.

It truly delighted him.

"The Twelfth-level Golden Bell Shield is perfected; it's truly formidable!"

As he thought of Tang Yuehua, Zhou Yi couldn't help but feel a sense of emotion.

The Twelfth-level Golden Bell Shield, when the muscles of the entire body were rigid, it was as hard as steel; when relaxed, it was as soft as cotton. It was impervious to blades and fire, its strikes as powerful as thunder, its movements as light as a goose feather, and it could run on water without sinking.

What Zhou Yi especially appreciated was its ability to remain in action without rest, its energy inexhaustible.

This was the part he liked the most.

Unstoppable!

Thinking about how he would be able to discuss the true meaning of life with Tang Yuehua when he returned, Zhou Yi's steps quickened.

The Sunset Forest lay over a hundred miles east of Heaven Dou City.

It was one of the main habitats for wild Soul Beasts in the Heaven Dou Empire. Although its area was not as vast as the Star Dou Forest, it still housed many high-level Soul Beasts.

However, these Soul Beasts posed no threat to Zhou Yi.

Of course.

The most dangerous part of the Sunset Forest was not the Soul Beasts. It was the toxic mist at its core, a mist so fearsome that even Soul Douluos would find it dangerous.

But these toxins were of no concern to Zhou Yi.

Not to mention that Zhou Yi possessed grandmaster-level medical skills.

Even without that, with his Golden Bell Shield, he was immune to poisons and impervious to water and fire.

Zhou Yi walked through the depths of the Sunset Forest as if strolling through a familiar garden, stepping lightly as though walking on solid ground.

Soon, Zhou Yi arrived at the mountaintop.

The terrain here was quite unique.

In front of him was an inverted-cone-shaped valley. The mountaintop where he stood was on the edge of this valley, with thick, hot air rising from the center. The air was moist and carried a faint sulfuric smell.

Zhou Yi knew that below was where the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well lay.

Without hesitation, Zhou Yi activated his Ascending Immortal Steps and leapt into the air, stepping downwards. The mist was dense, but it had no effect on Zhou Yi, who had perfected the Eye of Calamity.

Upon reaching the valley, he saw a hot spring.

The hot spring wasn't large, but it was divided into two sections.

In the oval-shaped pond, the colors of the hot spring water were a milky white and a fiery red.

What was even more extraordinary was that, although both colors were within the same pond, they remained completely separate, never mixing, each retaining its own side.

The rolling steam rose from the boundary between the two waters, generated by their juxtaposition, ascending until it slowly dissipated at the mount's peak.

"This is the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well..."

Zhou Yi gazed at the hot spring, the relevant information appearing in his mind.

This was a special treasure land.

Many plants had specific environmental requirements, especially the rare medicinal herbs.

However, the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, this natural treasure, was suitable for all rare plants to thrive.

Moreover, it caused the growth period of these exceptional plants to shorten by a factor of ten.

For example, a spiritual mushroom that would normally take a hundred years to mature would only require ten years to achieve the same effect.

"A marvelous place—it's practically a natural herb garden!"

Zhou Yi decided that from now on, this place would be his private medicinal garden.

As a master of the healing arts, how could he not have his own dedicated medicinal garden?

Zhou Yi approached the hot spring, touching the water. The white section was freezing cold, while the red section was scorching hot— even a Titled Douluo would find it difficult to endure for long.

Zhou Yi, with his Diamond Body, was impervious to both water and fire. Even if he jumped into the hot spring, he would suffer no harm.

"Extremely hot, extremely cold..."

Looking at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, the place of both the coldest and hottest temperatures in the world.

Zhou Yi recalled Tang San's use of the Eight-Directional Profound Ice Grass and Flame Peach Blossom Herb, two extreme cold and hot immortal-grade toxic herbs, to refine his body using the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

"Now that my Golden Bell Shield is perfected, if I were to use the two immortal-grade toxic herbs like Tang San did, assisted by the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well' energy, it would be effective, but the result would be limited!"

"If I can extend the Golden Bell Shield to the Thirteenth-level, I might be able to refine my body into the Thirteenth-level Golden Bell Shield with the help of those two immortal herbs and the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well's power!"
