Chapter 36 - Chapter 36 Helping Yu Xiaogang Gather Immortal Herbs? Tang San Playing Dead

Many people immediately thought of the heavenly curtain's response when Liu Erlong asked it earlier.

Comparing the two, they now felt the answer was already obvious.

"So, the Immortal Herb that can evolve a Spirit is in Sunset Forest?"

"It matches! I was wondering why the name Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well sounded so familiar. Turns out, it's that ice and fire hot spring in Sunset Forest!

Let's go, what are we waiting for? Brothers, let's go treasure hunting at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well!"

"Fortune favors the bold, and the timid starve!"

Some brave individuals were already contemplating going to Sunset Forest to try their luck.

At Shrek Academy, Flender's expression also showed a hint of surprise when he saw this scene.

"Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well… Sunset Forest…"

"Xiaogang, it seems the Immortal Herb that can evolve your Spirit is in this place!"

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go, we'll depart for Sunset Forest now!"

Liu Erlong turned around, her face full of excitement.

If even the two of them were like this, it went without saying for Yu Xiaogang, who was directly involved.

Hearing her words, he nodded repeatedly in agreement.

In a flash, he even thought of taking Tang San and the others with him.

After all, when they questioned the heavenly curtain earlier, it had clearly stated that Tang San helped him find the Immortal Herb, the Nine-Grade Ganoderma.

Although he didn't know how far in the future that would be, since Tang San could find such an Immortal Herb, it proved he had the ability to identify Immortal Herbs.

Taking him along to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was definitely the right choice.

While he had calculated everything perfectly, no one expected that upon hearing his call this time, Tang San would immediately wave his hand and refuse without a second thought, having no intention of going to Sunset Forest with everyone.

His reaction greatly exceeded Yu Xiaogang's expectations, and seeing him like this, Yu Xiaogang was momentarily stunned.

And he was merely surprised.

Before he could even speak, the hot-tempered Liu Erlong, with a frown, had already spoken first, questioning Tang San.

"Tang San, what is the meaning of this?"

"Yu Xiaogang is your teacher. Spirit breakthrough has always been Xiaogang's long-cherished wish. Don't you want to help your teacher fulfill his long-standing wish?"

In terms of personality, Tang San was actually quite similar to Yu Xiaogang.

Both were extremely selfish individuals.

Because their main characteristic was hypocrisy.

Initially, he did indeed hold Yu Xiaogang in high esteem, but this respect was entirely built on the premise that the other party was truly a Spirit theory Grandmaster.

It was because he truly believed that Yu Xiaogang could help him with his cultivation.

However, after experiencing the various exposures from the heavenly curtain, Tang San also saw Yu Xiaogang's true colors.

He learned that all of this guy's theoretical knowledge came from plagiarizing Spirit Hall, and he had no real skill himself.

Moreover, after almost being killed by snake venom earlier, this respect immediately vanished into thin air.

In this situation, in Tang San's view, not giving him a Binding and shouting, 'You have already chosen the path of death,' was already showing extreme benevolence.

Now he was even expected to risk his life to help Yu Xiaogang collect Immortal Herbs.

Naturally, Tang San was a hundred, a thousand times unwilling.

However, Tang San also knew that these words could not be said directly.

So, after some thought, he chose a more subtle approach this time, saying,

"Of course I hope to help teacher fulfill his wish and obtain the Immortal Herb, to help him evolve and improve his Spirit.

But things need to be done slowly. Preparation ensures success, lack of preparation leads to failure.

Leaving aside everything else, if there really is such a treasure trove in Sunset Forest, I don't believe it would be ownerless. It's probably already occupied by a powerful individual, isn't it?

If we rush over, we might not gain any benefit and could even suffer a great loss."

His words were purely a 'golden oil' statement, applicable to any situation.

Even if Liu Erlong heard it, she would find herself speechless if she wanted to refute it.

Flender, on the other hand, didn't think much of it.

At this moment, he actually found Tang San's words quite reasonable.

"What Tang San said makes some sense. As far as I know, that Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well is Poison Douluo Dugu Bo's private territory. It will certainly not be easy to take Immortal Herbs from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well this time."

"If it really doesn't work, we can just wait a bit longer."

He deeply agreed, nodded, and immediately turned to persuade Yu Xiaogang.

He spoke casually, but upon hearing his words, Yu Xiaogang immediately became anxious.

No matter to what extent Yu Chen developed Luo San Pao on the heavenly curtain, for him, it was still a completely useless Spirit.

And he had been troubled by this useless Spirit for over thirty years.

Thirty years!

With the opportunity to break free right in front of him, how could Yu Xiaogang remain calm and rational?

To say he was burning with anxiety at this moment was no exaggeration at all.

So, this time, upon hearing Flender's words, he not only disagreed but immediately retorted.

"How can we wait?"

"Before, the whereabouts of this Immortal Herb were unknown to others, only we knew, and that would have been fine."

"The crucial point is that after the heavenly curtain's revelation, the matter of the Immortal Herb has already become common knowledge.

In this situation, if we don't act proactively, let alone the Immortal Herb, it's possible that the entire Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well will be emptied by others in a while. By then, it will be too late, and anything we say will be useless."

Yu Xiaogang spoke seriously.

Hearing him, everyone fell silent once more.

After a moment, Liu Erlong spoke up, stepping forward and taking the initiative to say,

"Then how about this? I'll ask someone to negotiate with Dugu Bo and see if we can find a way to exchange for the Nine-Grade Ganoderma from him?"

However, this suggestion was again rejected by Yu Xiaogang, who said,

"No, this plan won't work.

Poison Douluo Dugu Bo, to put it nicely, has a character that is both good and evil; to put it bluntly, he is genuinely capricious. He's a pure villain.

When dealing with such a person, you never know when he might suddenly stab you in the back, so you always have to be careful and on guard, let alone trying to snatch Immortal Herbs from his territory, which is like pulling teeth from a tiger's mouth.

If you try to negotiate with him, he will definitely seize the opportunity to make an outrageous demand and extort a huge sum from you.

For this kind of thing, secretly infiltrating is the most reliable method."

Of course, this time he wasn't completely negative; he also proposed a solution.

"Secretly infiltrate?"

Seeing his demeanor, the people in the field couldn't help but become curious again.

Yu Xiaogang saw this and didn't play coy. After nodding heavily, he immediately added an explanation.

"That's right."

"We can pretend to advance openly while secretly crossing the Chencang path. We can send someone to negotiate with him on the surface, discussing how to purchase and exchange the Nine-Grade Ganoderma he possesses with resources.

In reality, this is to use the opportunity to attract his attention.

While he is out discussing matters, we can secretly sneak in and completely plunder all the herbs in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well."

The more he spoke this time, the more excited Yu Xiaogang became.

However, as his words fell, before the Shrek group beside him could reply, a sneer already came from behind him.

"Good, good! As expected of the future Imperial Grandmaster of Heaven Dou Empire, you truly live up to the words 'resourceful and strategic.' It's just a pity that next time you discuss a plan, could you not do it in public? Otherwise, if I, the person involved, hear it, I'll find it very difficult to handle."

Looking at the speaker, a middle-aged man, entirely emerald green, exuding a dangerous aura like a venomous snake, slowly walked out of the darkness.

The person who arrived this time was none other than the very subject of their recent conversation, Poison Douluo Dugu Bo!
