Douluo Continent: The World Shines with Stars

Chapter 107 Dugu Bo Presents His Treasure

As expected, a Soul Master should be as virtuous as me. The other person is still alive, how can I covet their legacy?

Xu Mingxi reached out and probed the cold-level Yin Spring, but ultimately decided not to enter. The remnant soul of the Fire Dragon King had already said that there was no soul bone, so he absolutely believed it.

This was definitely not because he was afraid he couldn't withstand the attack of the Dragon King's remnant soul, and he was thinking of waiting until he became stronger or got a few level-nine spiritual defense soul tools before coming back.

Or perhaps after I become a god, I can pass on the news of the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, and let my descendants retrieve it after the remnant soul of the Dragon King dissipates.

Xu Mingxi didn't linger any longer. It didn't matter that he didn't have a soul bone; it was already an incredible stroke of luck that he had received news of the God of Stars. Perhaps this would be of great use to him in the future when he lit up the crystal ball and received the divine inheritance of the Sun and Moon Gods.

Moreover, he had other things to do. The herbs around the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well had been growing well in recent years, and he needed to pack up most of them and take them back to the Star Crown Sect as reserves for future wars.

This place is nominally still under Dugu Bo's control, and the price of herbs still needs to be negotiated with him. Whether it's gold soul coins or thousand-year soul bones, Xingguan Sect can provide them.

He arrived at Dugu Bo's residence and saw smoke rising continuously from inside. Dugu Bo was standing anxiously waiting outside the door. He knew that Dugu Yan was probably doing something like a medicinal bath inside.

"Aki, are you done with your work?"

"It's all taken care of, but I'd like to discuss with Senior Dugu the procurement of herbs near the Yin-Yang Yin-Yang Eye."

"Take them all if you want, but you need to give me permission so that my Dugu family can take medicinal herbs from the Xingguan Sect's herb storehouse whenever we need them."

Xu Mingxi was taken aback. He understood what Dugu Bo meant. He was going to give the ownership of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well to the Star Crown Sect. This was a great thing.

"Alright, Senior Dugu, rest assured, as long as my Star Crown Sect exists, the Dugu family will not encounter any accidents."

Dugu Bo nodded, his heart filled with helplessness. This was the tragedy of the weak. Even though he had become a level 93 Title Douluo, the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well was too precious, and holding it in his hands was like holding a hot potato.

Now that Xu Mingxi has made a promise, the Dugu family will be worry-free for at least three hundred years. As for the future, we can only rely on the wisdom of future generations.

If, with the nurturing of the Star Crown Sect and the convenience of medicinal herbs, the Dugu family still cannot gain an advantage among the non-family forces within the Star Crown Sect, then it would be better to hand over the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well to Xu Mingxi, the strongest person in the history of the Star Crown Sect, now, so as to avoid the Star Crown Sect subtly forcing his descendants in the future.

If Yan Yan is willing, choosing a good husband from Xing Guan Sect would be a good idea. If Yan Yan is not willing, Xin'er and his wife are still young, and urging them on should be able to help continue the Dugu family line.

Dugu Bo waited for Dugu Yan at the door, his thoughts wandering elsewhere. While he waited and gathered herbs, Xu Mingxi left the poison array.

His progress under normal cultivation is minimal now, and it's unknown how long it will take for him to break through to the Limit Douluo level. It would be better to seek some external help.

On the Douluo Continent, external forces are nothing more than two kinds: various rare and precious materials and soul bones left behind after the death of soul beasts. The soul bones that Xu Mingxi needs are at least 100,000 years old, and preferably have attributes that match them.

He planned to explore the depths of Sunset Forest first, hoping to find some rare treasures or 100,000-year-old soul beasts. He was still missing three soul bones, and he didn't mind if he didn't want any from other sources.

Moreover, even if the attributes don't match, the location of a 100,000-year-old soul beast can be determined in advance. There are still several Soul Douluos of the Ming generation in the Star Crown Sect waiting to obtain the ninth soul ring of 100,000 years.

In the Sunset Forest today, there are no more soul beasts that can threaten Xu Mingxi. He can search freely here. Even if some foolish soul beasts rush up, it will only give him another chance to obtain a soul bone.

Meanwhile, Song Jiang, who was at the Tian Dou Shui family's residence, was not so happy. He exchanged a glance with his wife, Shui Fu, who was sitting next to him, both of them feeling helpless.

When the group that had gone to sea recently returned to their hometown, they were so excited that they were seen by too many people when they brought the Swordfish ashore. This was the first time such a high-level navigational device had appeared in Hanhai City.

That's not all. The most important thing is that many people noticed that they killed all the crew members from the Sun and Moon Continent. Such an unusual move must mean they were trying to hide something.

Song Jiang was quite famous in Hanhai City. Even though he had been gone for nearly ten years, many people still remembered him and came to visit him.

At this time, the visiting Soul Masters discovered that he had broken through to the Soul Saint level, and even his wife, Shui Fu, had become the Soul Emperor. This made the outside world even more convinced of the rumors that they had obtained a great treasure at sea.

The Song family mansion was suddenly bustling with visitors, and even Soul Saints began to pay their respects. Song Jiang could not withstand the pressure and was afraid that Soul Douluos would come to force him to reveal Xu Mingxi's whereabouts, so he took his wife to her parents' home to avoid the storm.

"Brother Jiang, when we left Hanhai City, there were rumors circulating that someone saw Young Master Xu and his group heading towards the Star Crown Sect's shop. Should we inform them?"

"Yes, we must. This might be an opportunity for us, an opportunity to get on board with the Star Crown Sect."

After discussing for a while, the couple sent Shui Fu to the main hall of the Shui family to meet Shui Ruoxi, the head of the Shui family, who was also the dean of Tianshui Academy and a Soul Douluo-level expert.

"Xiao Fu, are you getting used to staying at home? You've had a tough time traveling around for so many years."

"Aunt, if I hadn't been out there adventuring all these years, with my talent, I might not even be able to become a Soul King now, let alone a Soul Emperor."

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Shui Fu finally steered the conversation to the purpose of her visit.

"Aunt, you know we were hired to go to sea as laborers, right?"

"I know, your story has been all over the place these past few days. It's said that the people who hired you are from the Star Crown Sect?"

Shui Ruoxi sat up straight. Having been in charge of the family for so many years, she naturally couldn't hide Shui Fu's little thoughts from her. However, the relationship between Xingguan Sect and Wuhun Hall was surprisingly peaceful, so it was possible to have some contact.

She had originally planned to send someone to deliver a generous gift to the Star Crown Sect, but Shui Fu's next words dispelled that idea, and she decided to have Shui Fu take the future heir of the Shui family on a trip.

"Aunt, you only know that you employ people from our Star Crown Sect, but you don't know their strength. Among them are two Title Douluo, and one of them should only be around forty years old."
