Douluo's Bone Transforms into a Divine Dragon

Chapter 70 Dividing the Immortal Herb (Part 1) (Please read on, please vote!)

A full hour passed before Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong finally understood the purpose of Gu Xuan's return with Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan.

First of all, they came back to deliver gifts, including rare and precious medicinal herbs that possess extraordinary medicinal properties.

Because of the Po clan joining the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and because Gu Xuan had been learning alchemy from Yang Wudi, Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong also had a general understanding of immortal-grade medicinal herbs.

In short, this thing is even rarer than a soul bone.

However, at least thirty plants have now been discovered in Dugu Bo's herb garden. Although Dugu Bo does not recognize them and does not know that his herb garden is the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye, one of the three great treasure basins, the plants did come from his place.

Although it was Gu Xuan who discovered its usefulness, Dugu Bo should still be remembered for one favor.

That's why Gu Xuan asked Ning Fengzhi for the soul bone later on.

To be honest, exchanging a bunch of rare medicinal herbs that haven't shown any value for a 35,000-year-old right arm bone is naturally not a good deal for a businessman like Ning Fengzhi.

After all, as a businessman, and a ruthless one at that, Ning Fengzhi naturally wanted to maximize his profits.

However, Gu Xuan then directly stated the value of the immortal-grade medicinal herbs and displayed his level 36 soul power, leaving Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong completely stunned.

How long has it been since Gu Xuancai broke through to the Soul Venerable realm? Only a little over a month! Although his original soul power had already reached level 33, he increased it by three levels in just over a month? What kind of heaven-defying cultivation speed is this?

Moreover, Gu Xuan's soul power was extremely thick and solid, without any superficiality. At level thirty-six, his soul power strength was almost comparable to that of a level forty Soul Master.

Furthermore, Gu Xuan also demonstrated his physical abilities. It should be noted that most Soul Masters can only withstand two-thirds of their own strength when they want to withstand the Soul Power pressure directly brought by a high-level Soul Master.

Those who can match their own soul power level are extremely rare, and they must be beast-type soul masters with extremely tough bodies, because the physical qualities of beast-type soul masters are stronger than those of weapon-type soul masters.

Under Gu Rong's personal testing, Gu Xuan, who was only level 36, actually withstood the pressure of a level 55 soul force. What does this prove?

This proves that Gu Xuan's physical attributes alone are comparable to those of a genius beast spirit master with the best spirit ring configuration at level 55.

Although Gu Xuan's physical attributes were already quite strong, because he had paid great attention to physical training since childhood, the addition of whale glue later allowed his third soul ring to reach three thousand years, and it was also a top-grade dragon seed soul ring.

But that was nowhere near as outrageous as it is now, okay?

Only those with greater strength can truly understand the relationship between physical attributes and soul power.

How could a level 36 Soul Master possess the physical attributes of a level 55 Soul King?

Does that mean that Gu Xuan's fourth soul ring could be used to try absorbing a ten-thousand-year soul ring?

Although Gu Rong and Ning Fengzhi were already used to Gu Xuan absorbing a spirit ring beyond his level, they still needed to discuss it carefully if Gu Xuan were to absorb a spirit ring on his fourth spirit ring.

Because ten-thousand-year soul rings are different from thousand-year or hundred-year soul rings, they cannot be absorbed simply by meeting certain physical requirements.

With Gu Xuan's clear reaction, Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong couldn't help but marvel at the miraculous effects of this divine herb.

Putting aside the fact that Gu Xuan was born with extraordinary talent, even an ordinary person who consumed a celestial herb might have the effect of defying fate.

Given Gu Xuan's current relationship with Dugu Yan, Ning Fengzhi didn't hesitate any longer and directly gifted the sea viper's right arm bone to Dugu Yan.

Dugu Yan was overjoyed to receive the soul bone, and Dugu Bo was equally beaming. From that moment on, the two families were truly considered equals.

"Uncle Dugu, Xiao Xuan and Yan Yan are still too young to get married now. How about this: we can get them engaged first, and then hold the wedding when they are old enough? What do you think?"

Because of the exchange of a 35,000-year-old sea viper right arm bone and a rare medicinal herb, the two became closer in their way of addressing each other.

Of course, the most important reason for this is the relationship between Gu Xuan and Dugu Yan.

To be honest, Ning Fengzhi had originally planned to match Ning Rongrong and Gu Xuan together, but now that this situation has arisen, he has no choice but to change his mind.

After all, the union of Gu Xuan and Dugu Yan also allows them to win over Dugu Bo, so it's a win-win situation no matter how you look at it.

The only downside might be that we'll have to find a suitable marriage partner for Ning Rongrong again.

After all, Dugu Yan, as the daughter of a titled Douluo, would never be a concubine, and Ning Rongrong would be even less likely to be a concubine to Gu Xuan.

Because Ning Fengzhi was grooming Ning Rongrong to be the next sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

However, these are all things to be discussed later, and the future is still unknown, just like how Gu Xuan brought back a girlfriend after only a little over a month away.

The most important thing right now is to completely tie Dugu Bo to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. After all, his only granddaughter has married into the school, so where can an old man like you go to live out your days?

However, Ning Fengzhi was not in a hurry, as doing so would make him look too greedy.

Given the relationship between Gu Xuan and Dugu Yan, all she needs to do is gradually get closer to Dugu Bo, and things will naturally fall into place when the time is right.

Dugu Bo nodded in agreement upon hearing Ning Fengzhi's words. It was indeed too early for the two children to get married now. After all, they were Soul Masters, and it would be a waste of their time and talent to go on to have children during their golden age of cultivation.

After all, you can have a child anytime, but the golden time for cultivation is fleeting.

Dugu Yan sat beside Dugu Bo, her face flushed with embarrassment, too ashamed to look up. How could he say such things to her face...?

With these matters settled, Gu Xuan returned to the main topic.

This time, I came back not only to give Dugu Yan that piece of soul bone, but also to give Gu Rong and Ning Fengzhi some immortal-grade medicinal herbs.

I still think it's best to take these high-quality medicinal herbs as soon as possible. Who knows how long he'll need to stay in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well later? I'll just come back and make sure everything is arranged properly.

Once he goes to the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, the sect will be able to steadily improve, and then he won't need to worry anymore. Moreover, this way, the development pace won't be dragged down, allowing the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to develop rapidly.

So Gu Xuan looked at Gu Rong, took out a brocade box, handed it to him, and said, "Grandpa, this is a rare medicinal herb I selected for you, the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum."

"This Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum is a neutral celestial herb. Consuming it allows one to circulate qi throughout the limbs and unblock the eight meridians, thus cultivating an indestructible body."

"Indestructible?" Gu Rong was slightly surprised.

Gu Xuan chuckled: "Indestructible might be a bit of an exaggeration, but this herb is the perfect match for your martial soul. Your soul power is also neutral, vast and powerful, fierce and domineering."

"With it, your future cultivation will be twice as effective. Moreover, the lasting effects of this divine herb should bring you even greater improvement."

"Moreover, this divine herb also has the effect of strengthening the body's foundation and refining its essence; taking it will only bring benefits and no harm."

"However, please don't rush to take it. I'll meet with my teacher later and have him refine some pills for you to take in combination with the celestial herbs. That way, the effects of the celestial herbs can be maximized, and who knows, it might even allow you to make another breakthrough."

Listening to Gu Xuan's explanation, Gu Rong no longer doubted the miraculous power of this divine herb, after all, Gu Xuan was a living example right in front of her.

Gu Rong solemnly accepted the brocade box, filled with gratitude for his beloved grandson.

Given his talent, reaching level 96 was already his limit, and the chances of him reaching even higher levels in the future were slim. However, having heard about the miraculous effects of immortal herbs, perhaps he could advance a little further on the path to becoming a Title Douluo.

P.S.: Typos will be corrected first and then fixed later.
