Douluo's Demon Blade Thousand Blades and the Original Martial Soul

Chapter 77 Hush Money

While Lin Yizhang was working hard, Dugu Bo was meditating cross-legged in his room in the quiet mansion.

Suddenly, Dugu Bo seemed to realize something, and instantly stood up and rushed out.

When Dugu Bo flew over the mansion, two people were already waiting for him. These two were none other than Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo, who had come during the day to ask for a celebratory feast.

Dugu Bo stopped about thirty meters away from the two men. He frowned and said, "Why haven't you two left Tiandou City yet? And what are you trying to do, coming to my house in the middle of the night? Do you really want to start a war with me?"

All three summoned their Martial Souls, and their Soul Rings lit up, revealing a magnificent display of 27 Soul Rings. However, since they were high in the sky and deliberately concealed their forms with their Soul Power, even Soul Masters on the ground could not see their presence. Therefore, no one noticed that three Title Douluos were confronting each other in the sky.

Chrysanthemum Douluo's effeminate voice rang out: "Old Poisoner, if we were outside the city, we might cause you trouble, but here in Heaven Dou City, I have no intention of making a move against you. I've come to ask you something."

Dugu Bo said, "What is it? Can't you ask during the day?"

Chrysanthemum Douluo said, "Old Poison Master, you should know about immortal herbs, right?"

Dugu Bo's pupils contracted upon hearing this, but his expression remained unchanged. However, Chrysanthemum Douluo had been staring intently at Dugu Bo from the beginning, and naturally noticed the change in Dugu Bo's gaze.

"Haha, you old poisoner, your Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor Martial Soul was able to evolve because you consumed a celestial herb called Earth Dragon Golden Melon, right? It seems I wasn't mistaken about the scent I smelled during the day; the aroma emanating from you was indeed the medicinal scent of Earth Dragon Golden Melon." Chrysanthemum Douluo laughed loudly, seemingly very proud of his ability to correctly identify the scent of the celestial herb.

Dugu Bo knew he couldn't hide it any longer, so he said, "So what if it is? I was lucky enough to find the immortal herb, but I've already eaten it. Do you want to eat the remnants of the immortal herb that I excrete?"

Upon hearing this, Yue Guan angrily retorted, "You old poisoner, if you spew any more filth, believe me, I'll teach you a lesson right now and make you remember it."

"Learn a lesson? Learn what lesson? I seem to remember the last time you came to challenge me to a duel, you couldn't do anything to me, right? Do you think that with Ghost Douluo helping you this time, you can do anything to me? Come on, I've just broken through to level 94 and haven't been able to find anyone to test my skills with. You two can be my whetstones."

Chrysanthemum Douluo and Dugu Bo already had a verbal feud, and they couldn't help but start fighting as soon as they met. Just as Yue Guan was about to rush out, Ghost Douluo reached out and grabbed him, saying in a telepathic voice, "Don't forget why His Holiness the Pope sent us here. We're just here to intimidate Dugu Bo, not to fight him."

"Besides, we should have left Tiandou City during the day. You said you wanted to find Dugu Bo to ask about the immortal herbs, so we came here. If we were to fight Dugu Bo, it would definitely alert the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."

Upon hearing this, Yue Guan quickly calmed down and said to Dugu Bo, "Old Poisoner, don't try to provoke me. This is Tian Dou City, and we dare not make a move. But if you really anger us, you'll either have to stay in Tian Dou City forever, or you can just wait to be beaten up."

I'm not looking for you about anything important, I just want to know where you found the magic herb, and if you still have any. Tell me and we'll leave immediately, and I'll owe you a favor.

Dugu Bo said, "I did find more than one immortal herb, but I gave them all to my granddaughter and grandson-in-law, and there are none left. As for where I found the immortal herb, I won't tell you. But there are definitely no immortal herbs left in that place. If there were, I would have picked them all long ago. Even if you knew, it wouldn't be of any use to you."

"Old Poisoner, how did you find out about the Immortal Herb? As far as I know, there aren't many people on the mainland who know about it, are there? Did your grandson-in-law tell you?"

"I have to say, you've changed ever since your grandson-in-law appeared. He even cured your poison. Could it be that your strength has also improved with his help?" Yue Guan said with a mocking look in his eyes.

"Chrysanthemum Pass, don't be a sour grapes. After we become Title Douluos, our soul power increases mainly through our own enlightenment. My strength improvement is due to my own hard work. I only stopped cultivating soul power before because of poisoning. And why are you always thinking about my grandson-in-law? If you like the younger generation, why don't you find a successor to train yourself?" Dugu Bo said irritably.

"You're right, I really should find a disciple to take over my position now. But it's really difficult to find a genius like that kid. If he's not as good as your grandson-in-law, won't he embarrass me in the future?"

"Tsk tsk, 41 levels of soul power at 12 years old, and with such a solid foundation, your grandson-in-law is really a little monster. If I had a granddaughter, I would have taken him home immediately," Chrysanthemum Douluo laughed.

"Chrysanthemum Pass, what exactly do you want? Aren't you Spirit Hall going too far? If anything happens to my granddaughter and grandson-in-law, don't blame me for sneaking into Spirit City and poisoning them if you anger me," Dugu Bo said in a deep voice.

"Don't be impatient, old poisoner. As long as you promise not to let your grandson-in-law serve the royal family and help me find two immortal herbs suitable for me and the old ghost, we will not touch that kid and will keep his real age a secret from the Pope. How about it?" Yue Guan said.

"I can prevent him from joining the royal family and serving them, but I can't find the immortal herb. Didn't you yourself say that the immortal herb is hard to find? So you can go find it yourself," Dugu Bo said calmly.

"Hmph, old poisoner, don't try to fool me. If you can find more than one immortal herb at once, you must have found some treasure land or secret realm. There must be immortal herbs in there. Maybe you have one on you?"

"I can swear on my martial spirit that as long as you find a suitable immortal herb for us, we will consider it as us owing you a favor. We will also put in a good word for you in front of His Holiness the Pope, and then we will not attack your Dugu family again. How about that?" Yue Guan said.

"Alright, I'll try my best to find the immortal herb for you, but I can't guarantee I'll find it!" Dugu Bo said.

"Two years! If you still haven't found it after two years, we will report the news to His Holiness the Pope, and then we will have to follow His Holiness the Pope's arrangements." After Yue Guan finished speaking, he left with Ghost Douluo.

Lin Yizhang had no idea about the meeting between Dugu Bo and Yue Guan Guimei; he was still fighting at the moment!

Regarding what happened during the day, Lin Yizhang thought that Chrysanthemum Douluo would directly report his real age and information about the immortal herbs to Bibi Dong. Therefore, he had already planned to leave Tiandou City as little as possible in the future, and if he had to go out, he would have to ask Dugu Bo to go with him.

He really didn't expect that the two Douluo, Chrysanthemum, Ghost, and Hum, who were loyal to the Spirit Hall and the Pope in the original work, would choose to secretly ask Dugu Bo for hush money.

However, this is more beneficial for Lin Yizhang, as it provides him with two more years of stability.
