Douluo Continent: The World Shines with Stars

Chapter 44 Yang Wudi

"Boy, be careful on the road. This is my latest specially made poison pill. I dare not say it can withstand a Title Douluo, but below the title level, absolutely no one can resist it."

"Then thank you very much, Senior Dugu. Our Star Crown Sect will present you with a gift later, so we will not attend your title conferment ceremony."

Dugu Bo used his evolved martial soul overnight to prepare poison pills and send them to Xu Mingxi. He still needed to recuperate for a few days in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. Since absorbing the Poison Spirit Dragon's soul ring, the toxins in his body even showed signs of breaking out of the Medusa Soul Bone.

Xu Mingxi didn't wait for him to finish his meditation and chose to leave early. Now that she knew the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well had been found, there was no need to waste any more time here.

He is now a level 69 Soul Emperor, and could break through to level 70 at any time. The seventh soul ring is of utmost importance to every Soul Master.

This was also the best opportunity that Xu Mingxi had chosen for himself to add the Sunlight attribute to his Star Crown Martial Soul.

Absorbing the Moon Toad Soul Ring would produce moonlight, but Xu Mingxi had no idea about this at the time. Now, if she wants to artificially intervene in the changes of her Martial Soul, she must be fully prepared.

To ensure a high success rate, Xu Mingxi decided that she must consume an extremely yang immortal herb before absorbing her seventh spirit ring, and pair it with a suitable spirit beast. This would maximize the success rate of the spirit undergoing a positive mutation.

The Star Crown Sect had already begun searching for a suitable soul beast for him. Now that he had the immortal herb in hand, all that was missing was the relevant information and method of taking it, and Yang Wudi, the head of the Yang family, had all of that.

If a peaceful transaction can be made, that would be best. If not, then we'll need to resort to some special methods.

The immortal herb is not only related to Xu Mingxi, but also to the development of the entire Star Crown Sect. Tang Chen is trapped in the City of Slaughter, and the Clear Sky Sect has only one Title Douluo left, who cannot control the Star Crown Sect, let alone its affiliated families.

Xu Mingxi's only concern was that forcing things would cause huge changes in the future, and she would lose the advantage in the plot.

But we can't worry about that now. What matters is that we and the Star Crown Sect become stronger. If this matter is successful, the Star Crown Sect will at least produce a few more titles, the sect leader will be able to advance further, and the overall strength will more than double.

Xu Mingxi returned to Tiandou City. Nearly ten years had passed, and seeing this magnificent city again, he felt no emotion. This city would belong to the Star Crown Sect sooner or later.

After Xu Mingxi, accompanied by the Grand Elder, visited the head of the Blood Blade Pavilion, the largest underground force in Tiandou City, he successfully obtained the pavilion's permission to use the Blood Blade Pavilion's channels to gather intelligence on the Yang family.

When he first entered Tiandou City, he visited Old Master Ye Renxin with a glimmer of hope.

Unfortunately, although the old man spent his life treating patients, he relied more on the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul. Although he understood pharmacology, he was not an expert, let alone knew anything about immortal herbs.

Xu Mingxi originally wanted to use the power of the Blood Blade Pavilion to send a letter of invitation to Yang Wudi, but he was unexpectedly rejected. The power of the Star Crown Sect in the Heaven Dou Empire was still too weak.

There's no other way. Since we can't enter the Yang family's territory, we'll have to let Yang Wudi come out.

The Yang family's territory is located around the Haotian Sect, making them difficult to approach. However, as a major alchemy clan, there are certain relationships that require the personal attention of Yang Wudi, the clan leader.

Yang Wudi's whereabouts were entrusted to the Blood Blade Pavilion for investigation, while Xu Mingxi cultivated in the hotel, striving to break through to level 70 as soon as possible.

Ten days later, there was a knock on his door, interrupting his cultivation, and the Ninth Elder walked in.

"Mingxi, news has come from the Blood Blade Pavilion that Yang Wudi is heading towards Heaven Dou City, but his target is the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."

Why did it have to be the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School? Is Yang Wudi representing the Yang family, or is he here on behalf of the Haotian School? Xu Mingxi frowned; this was getting complicated.

The three upper sects are closely allied and currently in a honeymoon period. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's sect leader, Ning Fengzhi, is a clever fox and not easy to deal with. "Elder, has Senior Dugu returned?"

"I came back a couple of days ago."

"Alright, Elder, please accompany me to the Dugu residence."

"That's natural."

After Xu Mingxi and his two companions left Sunset Forest, the Grand Elder personally brought the Giant Ape's soul bone back to the sect and exchanged it for a Shadow Serpent soul bone that was about 18,000 years old. This was already the best serpent soul bone in the Star Crown Sect.

He took the Soul Bone and the Ninth Elder and rode at full speed to the Dugu Mansion. This time, he might still need Dugu Bo's help.

An hour later, Xu Mingxi and the Ninth Elder left the Dugu Mansion and met up with the First Elder. Together they headed to the only road from Tiandou City to the Yang family's territory.

Before long, the gates of the Dugu Mansion opened again, and Dugu Bo came out, hailed a carriage, and headed towards the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

At this moment, Yang Wudi, completely unaware that someone was coveting his family's knowledge of the immortal herbs, was sitting in the reception hall of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, drinking tea and looking at Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo sitting opposite him.

"Sect Leader Ning, I wonder what your opinion is on my suggestion?"

"Our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has agreed to the nobles' herbal medicine business. However, regarding the alliance, Bone Douluo is not here, and I cannot make a decision at the moment. How about we discuss it another day?"

A flash of anger crossed Yang Wudi's eyes. When the old sect master was still alive, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect always followed the lead of the Haotian Sect.

Unexpectedly, after the old sect leader had only been missing for a few years, they had already dared to refuse the invitation from the Haotian Sect.

However, looking at the Sword Douluo sitting next to Ning Fengzhi, Yang Wudi sighed softly. The gap between the Haotian Sect and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was no longer that big.

He temporarily put aside the two joint matters and discussed the herbal medicine business with Ning Fengzhi, which was the most important source of funds for the Po clan.

Not long after, Yang Wudi, who had obtained a satisfactory result, took his leave. Ning Fengzhi watched his departing figure and shook his head.

Tang Chen has now disappeared, yet the Haotian Sect remains so arrogant, not a single direct descendant has shown up for such a momentous event as this.

Back then, two geniuses from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon School were crippled, while the disciples of the Clear Sky School remained unharmed. Although the three schools knew that it was mostly the Spirit Hall, a rift had already formed between them.

With Tang Chen's disappearance, there is no longer a significant gap between the three major sects. Who are they putting on airs for?

Ning Fengzhi was about to get up and leave to prepare the herbs for the trade with the Yang family when a Soul Douluo elder from the sect barged in.

"Sect Master, Dugu Bo is waiting outside the sect. He exudes the aura of a Title Douluo."

As expected, what Uncle Bone sensed was correct; Dugu Bo had indeed become a Title Douluo. However, what was he doing at my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?
