Douluo Continent: From Blue Silver Grass to Nine-Leaf Sword Grass

Chapter 30 Becoming an Apprentice

"Very well, from now on you are my disciple. Anyone who wants to bully you will have to get past me first," Dugu Bo laughed loudly.

Dugu Bo was very happy. Jiang Li suited his taste no matter what. If they hadn't spent too little time together, he would have wanted to make Jiang Li his grandson-in-law. However, his apprentice was also good. At least they had a relationship now. As for a grandson-in-law, he could guide him step by step.

"I don't have much to give you, so consider this my gift for accepting you as my disciple." Dugu Bo took out a ring and handed it to Jiang Li.

"Judging from the ring in your hand, it should be a storage soul tool. Although I don't know its size, it shouldn't be as big as the one I gave you," Dugu Bo said.

Jiang Li took the ring from Dugu Bo, then probed it with his soul power and sensed the space inside. The space inside the ring was quite large, about fifty cubic meters.

The soul tool Jiang Li is currently wearing was taken from the bandits. Its internal space is less than one cubic meter. He originally planned to buy one when he had time, but Dugu Bo gave him one.

"Then thank you, Master." Jiang Li said gratefully. Coming to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well with Dugu Bo this time was the right decision. Not only did his martial soul evolve, but he also got a cultivation technique and a new soul tool. It was all worth it.

"What are you thanking me for? You're my disciple. It's just a soul tool, nothing special." Dugu Bo waved his hand, indicating that he didn't care. Soul tools were something that people at his level could easily obtain.

"Yanyan, you and Jiang Li stay here for a while. I'll go return the things, and when I come back, I'll take you two to obtain soul rings," Dugu Bo said.

"Okay, Grandpa, you can go now." Dugu Yan replied without looking up, still studying Jiang Li's skin.

Looking at Dugu Yan's appearance, Dugu Bo shook his head and then turned and left.

After Dugu Bo left, Dugu Yan became unrestrained again.

"Tsk tsk tsk, this skin is just as good as mine! How come the changes after the martial soul evolution are so big?" Dugu Yan asked curiously, pinching and pressing Jiang Li's face.

Jiang Li was exasperated by Dugu Yan's antics and said irritably, "Why are you always messing with me? I'm your grandfather's disciple now. According to seniority, you should call me 'Uncle-Master.' Come on, call me 'Uncle-Master'."

Upon hearing this, Dugu Yan retorted confidently, "I am me, and you are you. Is there any comparison? Besides, don't think that just because you were taken in as my grandfather's disciple, you can take advantage of me. You're even younger than me. I'm being kind by not calling you 'little sister' in your current state. You should know how many people want to be manipulated by me but don't even have the right to do so."

Jiang Li's eyelids twitched wildly at Dugu Yan's words. Was this what he wanted? He didn't want it either. Although it did look good, it was easy for people to mistake him for a girl.

Thinking of this, Jiang Li pulled Dugu Yan's hand off his face, then grabbed Dugu Yan's wrist and said, "Come, learn about meridians and Yin-Yang theory with me."

"Ah? No way!" Dugu Yan said with a look of utter despair. She hated studying the most, especially complicated things like this. Making her learn this was no different from making her read a book written in heaven.

Jiang Li didn't care about that. He grabbed Dugu Yan's arm and headed towards the thatched hut. Meridians and Yin-Yang theory were essential to learn, as they were closely related to the cultivation method. If they didn't learn them well, they would be doomed if the circulation path went wrong.

.........

On the other side, Dugu Bo went directly to the Ye Family Medical Clinic after leaving the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

"Haha, Old Ye, I've brought the things back." Dugu Bo laughed loudly after entering Ye Family Clinic.

Titled Douluo can change their appearance using their soul power. To prevent suspicion from those with ulterior motives, Dugu Bo kept his old appearance, only concealing the poison.

"Hmm?" Ye Renxin looked up at Dugu Bo and found that Dugu Bo no longer had that fishy smell, and his eyes were no longer so green.

"Did you solve it?" Ye Renxin asked.

"Haha, it's all thanks to you! You've given me a great doctor and a great apprentice." Dugu Bo said proudly.

"Then I congratulate Brother Dugu." Ye Renxin congratulated Dugu Bo on accepting Jiang Li as his disciple. After all, he couldn't control Jiang Li, so it was a good thing that Dugu Bo accepted him.

"Oh, right, this is for you." Dugu Bo took out the Complete Book of Rare and Exotic Herbs from his soul tool and handed it to Ye Renxin.

"This..." Ye Renxin felt a mix of emotions when he saw the encyclopedia of rare and exotic herbs handed over by Dugu Bo, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

"What's wrong? Is there a problem?" Dugu Bo asked, puzzled, seeing that Ye Renxin wasn't taking the book.

"Ah, it's nothing." Ye Renxin realized what was happening and immediately took the encyclopedia of rare and exotic herbs.

Dugu Bo looked at Ye Renxin strangely and thought, "You don't seem to have something on your mind, do you?"

"No, how could I have something on my mind? You're just overthinking it." Ye Renxin shook his head. He did have something on his mind, but he couldn't tell Dugu Bo right now.

But how could a long-time friend not see it? But since Ye Renxin didn't want to say it, Dugu Bo couldn't force him, or perhaps the time wasn't right yet.

"Alright, if you don't want to talk about it, then don't. There will be other opportunities in the future," Dugu Bo said.

Subsequently, Dugu Bo left the Ye Family Medical Clinic.

After Dugu Bo left the clinic, Ye Lingling came out from behind the screen in the reception room.

"Grandpa, why don't you talk to Grandpa Dugu? If you just ask, Grandpa Dugu would probably help." Ye Lingling asked, puzzled.

"Lingling, if you tell now, you'll drag Grandpa Dugu down with you. Don't forget why it's just the two of us left now," Ye Renxin explained, rubbing Ye Lingling's head.

Upon hearing this, Ye Lingling recalled her own family's miserable situation. First, they were suppressed by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and then the Spirit Hall wanted to take them over. Otherwise, they wouldn't be in this state.

Thinking of this, Ye Lingling nodded and said, "Grandpa, I understand."

On the other side, when Dugu Bo returned to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye, he saw Dugu Yan looking utterly hopeless as she followed Jiang Li to learn about meridians and acupoints.

"Yanyan, Xiaoli, let's go. I'll take you to hunt for spirit rings," Dugu Bo said.

Upon hearing Dugu Bo's voice, Dugu Yan seemed to have seen a savior. She immediately put down the Treatise on Meridians in her hand and then grabbed Dugu Bo's arm to complain, "Grandpa, let me tell you, Jiang Li insists that I learn this Meridian Theory. This thing is really too difficult to learn."

Dugu Bo was both amused and exasperated by Dugu Yan's complaining. He said, "Yan Yan, Xiao Li is only doing this for your own good. That knowledge is closely related to the speed of your cultivation. You don't want to fall behind your master, do you?"

It has to be said that girls' competitive spirit is incomprehensible, especially towards those younger than themselves. After hearing Dugu Bo's words, Dugu Yan became as energetic as if she had been injected with chicken blood, saying, "Grandpa, I will definitely study hard and will not fall behind him."

Dugu Bo nodded. That's right. Studying hard is useful. But silly girl, you probably won't be able to catch up with Jiang Li. It's still possible for Jiang Li to become your man.
