Douluo Continent has a system, but I don't want to use it.

Chapter 110 How could such a rumor exist?

It can be seen that Dugu Bo's martial spirit has undergone a great change.

The snake spirit, which was originally azure-green, has now turned blood red and grown four claws, each azure-green and clearly carrying venom. A blood-red horn has sprouted from its head.

The mouth, which was originally short and pointed, became wider and longer, and grew a mouthful of sharp teeth.

It grew animal fins on its back, and its tail changed from a round tail to a flat tail like a fish tail.

Now, Dugu Bo's martial spirit has transformed from a snake into a dragon, which can be said to be a step closer to becoming a dragon.

"Old Poisoner, your martial soul has transformed from a snake into a dragon. How do you feel now?"

"It feels great. I can clearly feel that my martial spirit has become much stronger. And the enhancement to my physical fitness is also very obvious. Now the toxins are all contained in my claws, so even if I can't refine the poison pill, I won't poison myself anymore." Dugu Bo's eyes shone with excitement.

"Haha, you old poisoner, now that you've mastered the poison pill, you won't poison yourself anymore. The function of this toxin in your claws can only be used by your descendants."

"Are you planning to take another wife now, like an old tree sprouting new buds? But you should consider your son's opinion! After all, you already have grandchildren." Fang Tian joked.

"Haha! Xiao Fang, what nonsense are you talking about! How could I, at my age, have such thoughts? But you, I heard you have an ambiguous relationship with Ah Yin, the number one beauty of Qingyun Academy. Are you planning to two-time her?"

Dugu Bo immediately refuted Fang Tian's teasing and then took the opportunity to bring up rumors about the academy to ridicule Fang Tian.

"Who spread this rumor? Ah Yin and I are completely innocent, there is no romantic relationship between us." Fang Tian immediately denied Dugu Bo's words and clarified his own position.

"Are you kidding me? My own child is already so old! My family is happy and harmonious, why would I go and mess around like this!" Fang Tian thought with a black line on his face.

"Brother, there's no need to deny it. We're all men, everyone understands what others are thinking. I won't tell Xiao Qiu." Dugu Bo had an expression that every man understands, and a hint of gossip flashed in his eyes.

"Old Poisoner, Ah Yin and I really don't have the relationship that's been rumored. Those are all rumors!" Fang Tian's face was full of black lines. This was impossible to explain!

"Hey bro! Don't bother explaining to me. Whether your relationship is real or not doesn't really concern me. I already said I wouldn't tell Xiao Qiu. You're still so wary of me, that's not very friendly of you."

Dugu Bo rarely saw Fang Tian with such an uneasy expression, and a teasing thought immediately arose in his mind.

Fang Tian and Dugu Bo had known each other for so many years and knew each other inside and out. Seeing Dugu Bo's expression, Fang Tian knew that the other party was doing it on purpose, and immediately lost the will to explain.

Instead, he wondered what to do if the rumors reached Qiu Fengyan's ears.

While Fang Tian and Dugu Bo were joking around, Tang San and Yu Xiaogang and the other three had already arrived at Qingyun Academy seeking help.

The Nine Heart Begonia family had long been a member of Qingyun Academy. If Yu Xiaogang wanted to be treated by someone from the Nine Heart Begonia family, he would have to come to Qingyun Academy.

Fang Tian had already spoken with the Nine Heart Begonia family about this matter.

Fang Tian was the benefactor who solved the martial soul defect of the Nine Heart Begonia Clan, so the patriarch of the Nine Heart Begonia Clan would naturally not refuse Fang Tian's small request.

For the sake of its reputation, Qingyun Academy would naturally not openly refuse those who come seeking treatment.

The Nine Heart Begonia family carefully examined Yu Xiaogang's injuries and then clearly stated that Yu Xiaogang's injuries were serious and had been there for too long.

Healing Yu Xiaogang's injuries would require a huge amount of life force, which would significantly impact the lifespan of a healing-type Soul Master. Therefore, the Nine Heart Begonia Clan was unable to help Yu Xiaogang with his injuries.

Tang San and his companions were immediately disappointed upon hearing this. In front of so many people, even the shameless Yu Xiaogang and Tang San couldn't bring themselves to say, "It's the responsibility of a medical practitioner to treat patients." Because that statement would essentially demand that others sacrifice their lives.

Flander, Tang San, and the other two left Qingyun Academy with Yu Xiaogang, feeling dejected, and prepared to return to their former secluded place.

Just seven or eight miles from Qingyun Academy, a man claiming to be from the Nine Heart Begonia family approached them. He explained that he was willing to sacrifice a great deal of his life force to heal Yu Xiaogang, but he needed a large sum of money.

This person was naturally arranged by Fang Tian. Fang Tian originally did not intend to treat Yu Xiaogang, but thought that if he gave Yu Xiaogang a little hope, the four of them might go to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

We'll have to see how Tang San handles things then; he might just manage to screw over the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan! After all, Tang San is quite adept at seizing opportunities to benefit himself.

"How much money do you need?" Yu Xiaogang's wife, a commoner woman with the Fire Serpent Martial Soul, asked anxiously upon hearing that her husband had hope of being cured.

Tang San and Flander also looked at the newcomer with anxious expressions.

"Six million gold soul coins!" The person who claimed to be from the Nine Heart Begonia family calmly gave an offer.

"Six million gold soul coins?" Flander and the other two felt a sinking feeling in their hearts upon hearing this price.

Six million gold soul coins might not be much to those major sects, but for an individual, it's an astronomical sum. Besides, Flander and Yu Xiaogang weren't exactly wealthy to begin with.

"Brother, can't you give us a discount? We really can't afford that much money!" The woman with the Fire Serpent Martial Soul pleaded with the man.

The visitor calmly shook his head: "It will also take a lot of my life force to heal Mr. Yu Xiaogang's injuries. This money is for my family and my future security, so I'm sorry, I can't offer a discount."

"Alright then, let's go raise the money now. Could you treat Xiaogang's injuries first?" Flander made his decision. There was no point in haggling now; the other party would also have to pay a heavy price. How could it possibly be cheaper?

"We've never met before, and there's no basis for trust between us. So we'll start treatment as soon as you pay. Once you've raised the money, just come find me at Qingyun Academy. My name is Ye Wuxin."

The visitor shook his head. How could he possibly treat the patient ahead of schedule? If he did, given Flander's greedy nature, he might end up embezzling the money. This was something Dean Fang had specifically instructed him to do.

Having given his instructions, Ye Wuxin, who claimed to be from the Nine Heart Begonia family, left.

"Xiaogang, let's go to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and beg your father. He won't watch you become a cripple. The only way we can get this money now is from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan," Yu Xiaogang's wife comforted him.

"No way!" Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaogang's face flushed red, revealing an expression of shame.
