Douluo Continent: From Seven Treasure Glazed Tile to Crescent Moon's Solemnity

Chapter 186 The Visit (Part 1)

"Fengzhi, Gurong, it's been a long time." Dugu Bo, with a warm smile on his face, led Dugu Yan out to greet Ning Fengzhi and Ning Feiliu.

It must be said that after Dugu Bo was almost completely cured of the toxins in his body, and after the greenish appearance of his body almost disappeared, he no longer had the listlessness and mania caused by the toxins, and he appeared to have some of the demeanor of an elder.

However… judging from Ning Feiliu’s usual interactions with this cheap teacher, this cheap teacher is quite restrained today.

It was probably because Ning Feiliu's true identity had been exposed, and this was the first time he had met Ning Fengzhi, Ning Feiliu's father, as Dugu Yan's "grandfather."

The implications of this meeting between the two parties are clear even to outsiders.

"Mr. Dugu is still as dashing as ever," Ning Fengzhi said with a smile.

Although Bone Douluo called Dugu Bo "Old Poisoner" behind his back, he was much more polite at this moment.

"Dugu Bo, you look much better." Bone Douluo spoke the truth, then looked at Dugu Yan and said with a smile, "Your granddaughter is growing more and more exquisite."

Dugu Yan smiled politely at Bone Douluo and Ning Fengzhi and said, "Dugu Yan greets Uncle Ning and Senior Bone Douluo."

"Yanyan, you're too kind... May I be so bold as to call you Yanyan? I really see you as my own daughter," Ning Fengzhi said with a smile.

Dugu Yan nodded and said with a smile, "Yan Yan has no problem with it at all, Uncle Ning, please feel free to call Yan Yan that."

Although she could tell that Ning Feiliu hadn't been close to Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, and Bone Douluo before, she still wanted to be friendly to Ning Fengzhi, as Ning Feiliu's biological father.

Not to mention in this era, even in ten thousand years, the relationship between biological parents is unbreakable.

Even someone as powerful as Huo Qubing was forced to get involved with Dai Hao, the scumbag father who killed his mother, and in the end, he was coerced by Tang San into accepting his ancestry.

This blood relationship is something Ning Feiliu can't escape unless she destroys her own sect or establishes a new one.

Ning Fengzhi will be Dugu Yan's "father-in-law" no matter what, and his statement that he regards Dugu Yan as his own daughter is not only an expression of his goodwill, but also a genuine statement.

"Good! Good! Good!" Ning Fengzhi said with a satisfied smile.

Then, he swept his hand across the soul tool, and an ordinary-looking brocade box appeared in his hand. He smiled and said, "I apologize for coming empty-handed. Here are some common medicinal herbs that I asked the sect to find. I hope Mr. Dugu will not find them offensive."

Although Ning Fengzhi said it was just ordinary medicinal herbs, given his status, would he really be willing to offer ordinary medicinal herbs?

Therefore, this medicinal material is definitely not ordinary. You can tell just by looking at this brocade box. Although the brocade box looks ordinary, the tiny gemstones inlaid around it are actually extremely expensive.

Yes, that's very much in the style of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Although Dugu Bo possessed the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire, it wasn't the only place where rare medicinal herbs could grow.

After all, some medicinal herbs are taken from soul beasts, and some medicinal herbs require unique growing environments. Even the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye cannot encompass all rare medicinal herbs.

Dugu Bo smiled slightly and said, "You're too kind, Fengzhi. I'll accept it then."

He didn't refuse, but directly took the brocade box in his hand and opened it.

Looking at the medicinal herbs inside, Dugu Bo smiled and said, "Seventh-grade thousand-year-old purple ganoderma, ten-thousand-year-old heavenly spirit grass, ten-thousand-year-old demon eye tree bark, ten-thousand-year-old three-headed red demon dog tooth, thousand-year-old golden robe lotus... these are all rare medicinal herbs. Feng Zhi, you've put in a lot of effort."

"As long as I can meet Mr. Dugu's approval, that's fine," Ning Fengzhi said with a smile.

"Alright, let's not talk about it here anymore, let's go inside and talk," Dugu Bo said with a smile.

"Well then, I'll take this opportunity to bother you," Ning Fengzhi said with a smile.

Immediately, the group entered Dugu Bo's residence.

Dugu Bo's residence appeared quite ordinary, unlike the magnificent and luxurious Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School castle.

After all, Dugu Bo is a pragmatist, and he rarely lives here. He usually lives in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

Soon, they arrived at the main hall of the mansion, where Dugu Bo had already arranged for servants to prepare tea in preparation for receiving Ning Fengzhi and the others.

After welcoming Ning Fengzhi and the others to sit down, he quickly waved and said, "Make tea, make tea!"

The servants immediately came up to pour tea for Ning Fengzhi, Bone Douluo, and the others.

The moment the tea was poured, a faint herbal fragrance filled the living room, clearly indicating that this was no ordinary tea.

Dugu Bo was quite concerned and specially prepared some medicinal teas that could strengthen the body's foundation and nourish the vital energy, with a rich aroma.

This was something that came naturally to him, a master of pharmacology.

"Good tea!" Ning Fengzhi and Bone Douluo also took a sip and continued to compliment each other.

"I'm glad you like it, Fengzhi and Gurong. If you do, I'll have the servants prepare some for you to take home and brew occasionally," Dugu Bo said with a smile.

"No need to be so polite," Ning Fengzhi said politely again.

But Dugu Bo persisted politely, so Ning Fengzhi had no choice but to accept it.

Then, Ning Fengzhi changed the subject, "Speaking of which, I must thank Mr. Dugu for taking care of my son during this time. As Fei Liu's father, I am extremely grateful."

"Oh, not at all. It's Fei Liu who has helped me a lot. His comprehension is unmatched among all the people I've met," Dugu Bo said with a slight smile.

"The changes you see in this child are all due to his own abilities, and have little to do with this old man like me," he said, pointing at Ning Feiliu with a smile.

However, Ning Feiliu quickly said, "Teacher Yu Feiliu is like a second life, how could there be no connection?"

Upon hearing Dugu Bo's words, both Ning Fengzhi and Bone Douluo's eyes flickered.

They understood Dugu Bo's meaning directly: Ning Feiliu's martial soul evolution, the creation of derivative martial soul abilities such as the Crescent Moon Divine Weapon, the creation of the Xuan Shui Pill, an incomparably miraculous pill, and his two self-created soul skills were all things that Ning Feiliu had created himself.

Dugu Bo believed that he hadn't provided Ning Feiliu with much help.

Therefore, Ning Feiliu's "talent" was far more exaggerated than they imagined.

They also lamented that they had neglected Ning Feiliu too much in the past, to the point that they were not even aware of her insightful nature.

Ning Fengzhi also recalled by chance that Ning Feiliu, who was a child, seemed to be exceptionally intelligent and could remember almost every book she read.

It seems that after Ning Feiliu awakened her martial soul, he discovered that Ning Feiliu's innate soul power was not high, and became disappointed in her, thus neglecting Ning Feiliu's talent in this area.

In reality, the original owner of this body was not exceptionally intelligent from a young age. He simply had a better memory, which was far from the exaggerated "photographic memory" that Ning Fengzhi now recalls.

It can only be said that Ning Fengzhi only recalled the original owner's fairly good memory from childhood after Ning Feiliu demonstrated her talent and Dugu Bo explained it to her.

What does it mean to say, "After I succeed, great scholars will come to debate the classics for me"?
