Yang Xiong merely glanced around the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well before leaving the area without hesitation.
With Dugu Bo's current strength, killing him would be as easy as crushing an ant. If he were to truly encounter Dugu Bo, he likely wouldn't have any hope of survival.
This was Dugu Bo's lair. Perhaps Dugu Bo was observing him in secret. If he showed even a hint of interest, he might be silenced. Even if he wasn't killed, it would arouse suspicion and potentially cause trouble for him in the future.
With his current strength, he couldn't possibly break into the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well. Only the Sword and Bone Douluo would have a chance. Unfortunately, they didn't know the value of the Immortal Herbs and wouldn't offend Dugu Bo for something unknown. Yang Xiong also didn't particularly want to reveal the value of the Immortal Herbs.
However, after leaving the area, Yang Xiong subtly headed in the direction of Heaven Dou City. On one hand, he planned to continue training, and on the other, he was waiting for an opportunity.
In fact, Yang Xiong had already calculated the time. In about a month, it should be Emperor Xue Ye's eightieth birthday, which was the biggest event in the entire Heaven Dou Empire in the past six months.
It was said that to prepare for Emperor Xue Ye's eightieth birthday, the Heaven Dou Imperial Family had made various preparations, and the birthday banquet would likely be unprecedentedly grand.
Especially since Emperor Xue Ye wanted to showcase the empire's good condition, he widely invited people from all directions to attend. Not only were the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family invited, but even all the large and small sects in the entire Heaven Dou Empire were invited.
According to Yang Xiong's estimation, such a grand event would likely involve not only domestic sects but even Spirit Hall and the Star Luo Empire sending people to participate. After all, the Heaven Dou Empire was one of the two major empires dominating the continent, and on the surface, they were the rulers of the country.
At such a time, the Heaven Dou Imperial Family's only true Titled Douluo, the Heaven Dou Imperial Family's guest elder Dugu Bo, would definitely have to attend. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to handle the experts from the various major forces, especially considering that Spirit Hall would likely send Chrysanthemum Douluo to participate.
Yang Xiong had been keeping track of the time in the Sunset Forest precisely because he wanted to find the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well before this.
As for the ownership of the Immortal Herbs inside, Dugu Bo didn't plant them. At most, he was occupying them temporarily. He didn't even recognize them himself, so they could purely be considered ownerless items.
As for whether Tang San and the Shrek Seven Monsters would have Immortal Herbs in the future, that was not something he could concern himself with.
In a sense, the Clear Sky Sect and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect were allies, but from beginning to end, Tang San seemed to have done nothing for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect except sell hidden weapons to them at a high price. In the end, to save him, the Sword and Bone Douluo were even sacrificed, making it the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's most unprofitable transaction.
...
For the next period of time, Yang Xiong continued to train along the way, but he did not leave this route. Of course, recently he occasionally fought with some low-level soul beasts, but he was very particular about efficiency. If he couldn't defeat the soul beast in a short time, he would immediately use Teleportation to escape.
One day, while Yang Xiong was fighting a thousand-year Thousand Jun Ant, a terrifying aura suddenly flashed across the sky, as if a powerful expert was approaching from above.
In particular, Yang Xiong felt that this aura was extraordinary, completely different from the auras of the Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo he had seen before. Instead, there was a hint of a fishy smell.
For so many years, Yang Xiong had been studying various poisons. It was clear that this aura contained poison, and this pressure definitely came from a Titled Douluo. If Dugu Bo hadn't been targeting him, perhaps just this poison would have been unbearable.
Yang Xiong pretended not to notice and continued to fight the Thousand Jun Ant in front of him.
This time, it took a full half hour. After confirming that Dugu Bo had gone far away and would not return, Yang Xiong quickly headed to the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well.
According to the current time, there were still three full days until Emperor Xue Ye's actual birthday. This period was his only opportunity. Otherwise, it would take a long time to find another chance to enter.
To avoid Dugu Bo's suspicion, Yang Xiong specifically chose to train in a place twenty kilometers away from the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well, precisely to keep track of Dugu Bo's movements and avoid being suspected.
When Yang Xiong arrived at the periphery of the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well again, his eyes were filled with fervor. This was the greatest treasure in the Douluo world, especially when the owner was away.
At this moment, Yang Xiong suppressed his inner excitement and took out a very strange set of armor from his body.
This set of armor was divided into two halves from the chest. It was forged by Yang Xiong with heavy gold. The entire armor was made of Deep Sea Sinking Silver, and the joints were all connected with the hides of high-level soul beasts. Yang Xiong had specifically chosen the skin of a ten-thousand-year Ice Crystal Toad.
The Ice Crystal Toad was known as the nemesis of all snake-type soul beasts, fearless of any snake venom. Its skin had a special suppressive effect on the potent poison of snake-type soul beasts.
Especially the head of the armor, in addition to the helmet made of a whole piece of Deep Sea Sinking Silver, a Mystic Crystal Stone was inlaid. This was also a treasure that was not afraid of potent poison and could transmit light, although the visibility was relatively poor.
Just in case, Yang Xiong had already coated the entire outer layer of the armor with the poison of the Ice Crystal Toad, which looked like a layer of ice crystal coating, absolutely capable of dealing with Biphosphorus Snake Venom.
Yang Xiong had already tested it at home. After putting on this set of armor, he could walk normally even in the swimming pool at home. Yang Xiong had specifically worn this set of armor in the swimming pool for a full half hour, and not a single drop of water could seep in.
However, the drawback of this set of armor was that it could only barely walk, and the fingers couldn't move. From the outside, it looked a bit like a Earth astronaut, but with higher protection and worse flexibility.
After Yang Xiong put on the armor, he carried a steel cable on his back. This steel cable was very thin and very long, and especially at one end, there was a sharp barb.
After everything was ready, he slowly began to walk towards the center of the poisonous mist.
Visibility was very poor in the poisonous mist, and there was even a poison array set up by Dugu Bo, but the overall focus was still on the ice and fire poison of the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well.
As he gradually entered the poisonous mist, the Ice Crystal Toad coating on the outside of the armor seemed to gradually dissolve. Even the armor made of Deep Sea Sinking Silver seemed unable to withstand the erosion of the poison array for a long time.
Yang Xiong gritted his teeth. He couldn't care about anything else now. He had to cross the poison array as quickly as possible. Once the armor completely melted, he was afraid he would be turned into a pool of blood.
After walking for dozens of minutes, he finally arrived at a cliff face. Yang Xiong clearly felt an even stronger ice and fire aura coming from below the cliff.
At this moment, Yang Xiong was overjoyed. He quickly used his soul power to support the barbed end of the steel cable and forcefully inserted it into the cliff. He then wrapped the steel cable around his arm a few times and slowly lowered himself using his soul power to pull the steel cable.
