Chapter 29 Living Storage: Wanling Treasure Gate
Hearing Yan's suggestion, Yue Guan frowned slightly.

"Boy, we've only been in Tox City for two days, and we're going to Sunset Forest. Are you in such a hurry?"

"It's not far anyway. If I spread my wings and fly, I can get there in less than a day."

Yue Guan thought about it, then agreed:
"Well, you've been studying flowers and plants for more than half a year. It's time to take you to see them. However, we can't stay there for too long, so as not to delay our training."

"Yeah. I understand."

They were about to go to Sunset Forest, and Yan felt a little excited.

However, before leaving, he still had one important thing to do.

If one could really find the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire and successfully pick the magical herbs there, how to store them would also be a tricky problem.

"Elder Ju, before I leave tomorrow, I want to buy something."

After hearing this, Yue Guan became curious and asked:

"What do you want to buy?"

"If I see suitable flowers and plants in Sunset Forest, I would like to bring some back. However, my soul guide seems unable to store living things for a long time. So, I would like to see if there is a soul guide that can store living things for sale at the auction house in Tox City."

"So you wanted this."

Yue Guan laughed and said disapprovingly,

"There's no need to go through so much trouble. I already have what you want."

"really?"

"Of course. How else do you think I store the flowers and plants in my hands?"

Yue Guan smiled complacently, then took out an exquisite gate box from the soul guide.

Yan's eyes were immediately attracted by the palm-sized gate box.

It was a golden box, carved with intricate and delicate patterns, which made one feel its extraordinaryness at a glance.

The edges of the box are streamlined and elegant, and every detail appears to be extremely sophisticated. Under the moonlight, it sparkles with a mysterious light, like a piece of exquisite work of art.

Yan could feel that this gate box seemed to contain a powerful vitality, like a shrunken forest, waiting inside.

"This lock box, named 'Wanling Treasure Lock', was found by chance in a relic in my early years."

Yue Guan gently stroked the exquisite lock box, his eyes revealing deep nostalgia and cherishment, and then continued to explain:
"It can not only store living things, but also keep them alive, as if time has stopped. Whether it is flowers or other living things, as long as they are placed in it, they can maintain their original state."

After hearing this, Yan's eyes were filled with surprise and admiration.

"Elder Ju, this is truly a rare treasure."

"Of course. Now, it's yours."

Yue Guan also saw the desire in Yan's eyes, and handed him the gate box without hesitation.

"Elder Ju, this is really too precious. I..."

Yan was a little at a loss.

But Yue Guan just smiled indifferently.

"Take it. I have more than one treasure box like this. It's rare to meet a young man like you who is so passionate about studying flowers and plants. Let it play its own value in your hands. I hope you can find the flowers and plants you want in Sunset Forest."

After listening to Yue Guan's words, Yan bowed deeply.

"Thank you, Elder Ju. I will definitely cherish this generous gift and live up to your expectations."

Yan carefully took the Wanling Treasure Box handed over by Yue Guan, and felt that it was heavy in his hand, as if it carried endless life force.

He knew very well that the value of this soul guide could not be measured by money.

Yue Guan was a noble person he met in this world. He not only gave him the Ice Grass Silkworm Pearl and the "Record of Strange Flowers and Herbs", but also gave him the precious Wanling Treasure Gate.

People all say that Yue Guan covets the glory and wealth of the Spirit Hall, but they don't know what kind of humiliation and pain he has experienced. Born a commoner, he achieved his current achievements through his own efforts. It was not easy along the way.

He loved flowers and plants all his life, and he also had a gentle side.

Yan will always remember this kindness and will repay him when he has the chance.

The night passed quickly.

Early the next morning, the two set out from Tox City and headed for the Sunset Forest which was not far away.

After several hours of flying, we arrived at our destination in the afternoon.

The two landed in the Sunset Forest.

The Sunset Forest is more than a hundred miles east of Tiandou City, located in the center of the Tiandou Empire.

It is not as large as the Star Forest, and its temperature is lower than that of the Star Forest all year round.

Powerful soul beasts generally prefer the environment of tropical rainforests, so there are not so many high-level soul beasts in the Sunset Forest, and it is more convenient for soul masters to move around in it.

It was already evening, and the setting sun shone through the treetops, casting patches of light on the ground, creating a mysterious and tranquil atmosphere.

Yan and Yue Guan strolled in the forest and encountered many soul beasts along the way.

They were either lurking in the bushes or perched on branches, watching the two intruders with vigilant eyes.

The powerful aura emanating from Yue Guan made them dare not approach.

The plants in this forest absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and are both strange and lush.

Some ancient trees with thick trunks and lush branches and leaves seem to be the guardians of this forest.

The exotic flowers and plants growing in the woods add a lot of vitality and vigor to the forest.

Along the way, the two chatted as they walked.

Yan fully applied the knowledge about flowers and plants that he had learned from "Records of Strange Flowers and Herbs" to the field investigation, and had a very pleasant conversation with Yue Guan.

Seeing Yan's progress in studies, Yue Guan felt very pleased and had a sense that there was someone to carry on his legacy.

The sky gradually darkened.

Yue Guan looked around and said:

"It's getting dark. Let's find a place to rest. We can go to the center of the forest tomorrow."

"it is good."

Most of the high-level soul beasts and rare and precious herbs are in the center of the forest, including the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire.

As they got closer and closer to their goal, Yan felt a little nervous.

He didn't know whether Dugu Bo was there at this moment.

The periphery of the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire is guarded by a formation of extremely poisonous green-scaled snakes, so most of the soul masters who come here cannot move forward after approaching the center of the forest, and therefore they are unaware of the existence of the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire.

But Yan was not afraid, because the powerful flame energy in his body was enough to melt the venom of the green-scaled snake.

If Dugu Bo was guarding there, he would never take any risks, because with his current strength, it would be as easy for Dugu Bo to kill him as crushing an ant.

If Dugu Bo was not there, he could not rashly take Yue Guan there, even though Yue Guan had done him a favor.

Because Yue Guan's obsession with flowers and plants is unimaginable, if he sees those top-quality magical herbs, he will definitely take them all away.

What's more, if Bibi Dong knew about the existence of the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire, she might send people to forcibly occupy this place, and even give her good-for-nothing ex-boyfriend Yu Xiaogang magical herbs to help him improve his useless martial spirit.

This is not what Yan wants to see.

Yan hopes to find a suitable opportunity to enter the Yin-Yang Eye alone without being discovered by others.
