By this time, it had completely darkened.
The courtyard was lit up, and the dim yellow light shone through the window paper, casting a long shadow of the old locust tree in the courtyard.
Dugu Bo sat in the armchair in the main room, holding a cup of tea. When he saw his granddaughter enter, he raised his eyelids and asked, "Did you get it?"
Dugu Yan walked up to her grandfather and said happily, "I got both of them."
"They are all 50,000-year-old soul bones, poisonous in nature, and of extremely high quality."
"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School doesn't play any tricks."
Dugu Bo put down his teacup, used his soul power to probe into Dugu Yan's body, sensed for a moment, nodded, and said, "That's right, it is indeed 50,000 years old."
"The poison attribute is also very pure, and it has a high compatibility with your martial soul."
"okay."
Dugu Bo withdrew his hand, a satisfied expression on his face.
"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was quite generous this time."
"Both soul bones are fine, you can use them without worry."
Wang Teng sat in the chair opposite him without saying a word.
Seeing that Dugu Bo had finished his examination, he finally spoke, "Senior, the method of inner alchemy..."
Dugu Bo glanced at Wang Teng, took out a thin booklet from his pocket, and casually tossed it over.
The booklet landed on Wang Teng's lap. The cover was blank, the paper was yellowed, and the edges were curled, making it look quite old.
"This is my method of internal alchemy."
Dugu Bo picked up his teacup, took a sip, and explained, "Make a copy yourself, and return the original to me."
"This is the culmination of my many years of hard work; it cannot be left to the world."
Wang Teng opened the booklet and quickly browsed through a few pages.
The handwriting is Dugu Bo's own; although it is messy, it is clear and organized.
From how to fuse toxins with soul power, to how to compress and condense the inner core, and then to the nurturing and use of the inner core after it is formed, every step is explained clearly.
Wang Teng looked at it very carefully, and only began to copy it down after confirming that nothing was missing.
After a while, Wang Teng finished copying and returned the original to Dugu Bo.
"Thank you, senior."
Wang Teng stood up and bowed solemnly.
Dugu Bo waved his hand dismissively, saying, "It's just a transaction, no need for thanks."
Wang Teng didn't rush to leave.
He stood in the center of the courtyard, remained silent for a moment, and then suddenly spoke, saying, "Senior, I have a favor to ask."
Dugu Bo raised an eyebrow and asked, "Speak."
"Senior, have you ever considered joining the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?"
The courtyard was quiet for a moment.
Dugu Yan paused slightly in her teacup and looked up at Wang Teng.
Dugu Bo remained expressionless, simply putting down his teacup, leaning back in his chair, and looking at him with a half-smile.
"Join the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?"
Dugu Bo repeated himself, a hint of amusement in his voice, and said, "Boy, do you know who I am?"
"Although the Dugu family is not as powerful as the three upper sects, it is still a family that has been using poison for thousands of years."
"You think you can make me your sect's henchman with just a few words?"
“They’re not thugs,” Wang Teng shook his head and said, “They’re guest advisors, allies.”
"If you join the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, you won't need to take orders from anyone. You just need to lend a hand when the school needs it."
"Just continue doing what you normally do, and the sect won't interfere."
Dugu Bo didn't speak, but tapped his fingers lightly on the armrest.
Wang Teng continued, "As you should know, the Spirit Hall has been making increasingly big moves lately."
"My serious injuries this time were caused by a sneak attack from Ghost Leopard Douluo."
"The fact that Ghost Leopard Douluo came to kill me shows that the Spirit Hall has been secretly making trouble."
"When the nest is overturned, no egg remains intact. Although the Dugu family is living in a corner of the world, when the Spirit Hall really takes action, who can remain unscathed?"
Dugu Bo's fingers paused for a moment.
"Joining the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is not about becoming someone's slave, but about finding a backer for yourself."
Wang Teng's voice wasn't loud, but he explained firmly, "The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo, Uncle Ning, and the foundation of the three upper sects."
"It's only beneficial for seniors to join us; there's no harm in it."
Dugu Bo remained silent for a long time.
Dugu Yan watched her grandfather from the side, hesitant to speak.
"Kid, you're making it sound so eloquent."
Dugu Bo finally spoke, saying, "But I am not a three-year-old child."
"If you want me to join the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, you'd better show some sincerity."
"What kind of sincerity do you want, senior?"
Dugu Bo extended his right hand, spread his five fingers, and slowly said, "At least one immortal herb."
"These are not ordinary herbs; they are truly miraculous herbs."
Wang Teng was taken aback for a moment, then smiled wryly and pretended not to know, saying, "Senior, what kind of immortal herb are you talking about?"
"hehe."
Dugu Bo chuckled twice and said, "Kid, stop pretending."
"Within the poisonous miasma, in the valleys and underground, in pools of ice and fire, immortal herbs abound. Do I need to say more?"
Wang Teng sighed, knowing he couldn't hide it any longer.
Dugu Bo had seen him in the Ten Miles of Poisonous Miasma, and more than once.
Given Dugu Bo's experience, it wasn't difficult for him to guess that the poisonous miasma was related to him, or that the immortal herb of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well had fallen into his hands.
"As expected, senior has keen insight."
Wang Teng did not continue to deny it, but thought for a moment and said, "I can discuss the matter of the immortal herb with the sect."
"But whether it will work out, I can't guarantee."
"Row."
Dugu Bo nodded and said, "Go back and tell Ning Fengzhi that I'm not in a hurry for an answer."
"Whenever the immortal herb arrives, I will join the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."
"It's a word."
Wang Teng did not linger and left the Dugu family territory under Dugu Feng's escort.
Dugu Feng is Dugu Bo's cousin, a level 76 Soul Saint, taciturn, and hardly spoke a word the whole way.
His task was simple: to safely escort Wang Teng back to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and prevent anything from happening to him.
After all, Dugu Bo had already taken two soul bones from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
The two traveled through the night and arrived at the gate of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School the next morning.
……
The news of Wang Teng's return spread throughout the entire sect like a gust of wind.
Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing were among the first to escape.
Ning Rongrong rushed over and hugged Wang Teng, tears streaming down her face as she cried and cursed.
"You scared me to death! Do you know how worried we were about you! Four months! A full four months!"
Zhu Zhuqing stood to the side, not rushing forward, but her eyes were also red.
She bit her lip, looked at Wang Teng, and her hands trembled slightly.
Wang Teng had one arm around Ning Rongrong and the other hand reached out to grasp Zhu Zhuqing's hand, gently squeezing it.
"I am fine."
Wang Teng's voice was a little hoarse as he said, "I'm sorry to have worried you."
Ning Fengzhi stood at the entrance of the main hall, watching this scene, a slight smile appearing on his lips, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
Unlike Ning Rongrong, Ning Fengzhi did not lose his composure. He simply nodded and said, "It's good that you're back."
Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo stood behind him, both with expressions of relief on their faces.
Inside the main hall, everyone took their seats.
Wang Teng recounted the entire incident from beginning to end.
From Ghost Leopard Douluo's sneak attack, his own counterattack, his shattered heart, the repair of his soul bone, to being thrown to the other side of Sunset Forest after his spatial soul skill malfunctioned, Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan found him and took him back to their clan to recuperate.
When the topic of Ghost Leopard Douluo's death came up, Sword Douluo couldn't help but interject, asking, "Are you saying that Ghost Leopard Douluo was poisoned to death by your Ice and Fire Poison?"
"Yes."
Wang Teng nodded and explained in detail: "He was poisoned by my ice and fire poison. He went blind, his body was corroded, and he probably died on the way."
Upon hearing this, everyone knew that Wang Teng was not lying.
The hall was quiet for a moment.
A level 55 Soul King killed a level 96 Title Douluo.
Although poison was used and Ghost Leopard Douluo was careless, this is still an incredible achievement.
