Douluo's Spirit Pearl Divine Sword

Tianlin was immediately in a good mood. "Thank you, old monster. After returning to the sect, I will ask Uncle Ning for the cultivation method of distraction control. Let's go back now."

Watching Tianlin excitedly skip and jump back, Dugu Bo chuckled from behind, "Haha, he's still just a child. No matter how talented he is, he'll still show this mischievous side."

Chapter 53 The Terrifying Kiss of the Snow-White Swan: Leaving the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire

"Little monster, what are you refining now? Didn't you already refine that Heaven-Mending Pill more than a month ago?" Dugu Bo asked, walking up behind Tianlin at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

It has been almost half a year since Tianlin came to him. In fact, about a month and a half ago, the poison in Dugu Bo's body had been basically eliminated by nine-tenths.

Dugu Bo didn't plan to remove the last layer either, because his body had already adapted to the poison. If it were all gone at once, it might be harmful. Leaving just this little bit was just right.

Tianlin lifted the alchemy furnace and took out two pills that had just been successfully refined. "These are Xuanwu Golden Pills, immortal-grade pills made with the Rock Golden Tortoise as the medicinal guide. They are extremely beneficial to soul masters with tortoise-type martial souls."

Rock-shelled Golden Turtle, although named after a turtle, is actually a medicinal herb, just resembling a turtle in shape and belonging to the water element.

"I understand now, these are for the two Shi brothers from the Royal Fighting Team, right?" Dugu Bo realized that none of the pills Tianlin refined here were for himself; they were all for his family and friends.

In fact, Tianlin wasn't entirely without his own considerations. After consuming the Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass and the Blazing Apricot Dew, the medicinal properties in his body were already too strong, making it unsuitable for him to consume any other immortal herbs. Too much of a good thing can be bad. Therefore, he chose to consume the Autumn Water Dew, just like Tang San in the original story, to strengthen his external soul bone. The Autumn Water Dew has extremely mild medicinal properties, which is just right for him now.

"Yes, I've prepared gifts for everyone. This time, both the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Royal Fighting Team will see a significant boost," Tianlin replied. "By the way, old monster, have you taken your Purple Gold Pill?"

"Yes, I've taken it. The pills you refined are really good. I feel my soul power has risen to level ninety-three, and after my soul power was cleansed, I can now condense it much faster." Dugu Bo's gains in the past six months have been tremendous.

Not only did he get rid of his own deadly poison, but his soul power also increased by two levels. Moreover, since he guided his snake venom into Medusa's soul bone, the two combined and actually turned into a new and stronger Azure Scale Serpent Emperor Poison.

Dugu Bo has an old rival, Chrysanthemum Douluo of the Spirit Hall. In the past, Dugu Bo was often beaten badly by him, but now, Dugu Bo has the confidence to face him again.

"Old monster, do you remember? I told you before that besides the Purple Gold Pill, I had another gift for you. Today is the day to fulfill that promise. But after giving it to you, I should leave." Tianlin was a little reluctant. Having lived here for so long, he had grown attached to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye.

Dugu Bo patted Tianlin's head and said, "What are you being sad about, you little monster? This is my home. You can come whenever you want. Just bring out any gifts you have. Don't spoil my appetite."

He wasn't affected by Tianlin's impending departure, because he was leaving with him too. After a long period of persuasion and Tianlin using those three conditions, Dugu Bo finally agreed to join the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School as a guest elder. He wouldn't be given any tasks; he would just be a figurehead.

"Hehe, old monster, this is what I want to give you!" Tianlin took out a snow-white immortal herb from his Ruyi Hundred Treasures Pouch. Each leaf seemed to drip water, long and curved, looking like a swan's neck. "This is called Snow-Colored Swan Kiss, one of the immortal herbs."

Dugu Bo took the immortal herb. "It looks good, little monster. How should we eat it?"

"Eat it? Old monster, are you out of your mind? You can't eat this. Its effect is to amplify the power of the poison. You're covered in poison. If you eat this, you'll probably die from your own poison immediately. Then all our efforts over the past six months will have been wasted," Tianlin quickly said.

"Holy crap!" Dugu Bo was so frightened that he immediately threw away the Snow-White Swan Kiss. ​​"Why did you give me something this terrifying, little monster?"

"What a waste!" Tianlin picked up the Snow-White Swan Kiss with a pained expression. Even if it was inedible, it was still a divine herb, and he just threw it away like that.

"Old monster, I'm giving you this not so you can eat it, but so you can use it as a weapon in battle. Think about it, what would happen if your poison were to be released through the Snow Swan Kiss?"

"Using the Snow Swan Kiss as a carrier!" Dugu Bo was horrified and excited. "Then my poison will be amplified many times over. Even without the Ninth Soul Skill, it will probably be enough to slaughter a city and wipe out a clan. It's terrifying."

“That’s right. It’s precisely because the Snow Swan’s Kiss is so terrifying that what I’m giving you isn’t the original version. Over the past six months, I’ve cultivated it together with some anti-toxic herbs, which has greatly reduced its medicinal properties. Otherwise, even you wouldn’t be able to control it.” Tianlin explained, “Look, the most important parts of the Snow Swan’s Kiss now are the petals, the corolla, and the stamen. The medicinal properties of these three parts are all different.”

"After I've re-cultivated it, these petals should now be able to enhance your poison by three times, which can be used as your regular attack method. The corolla is five times stronger, so use it cautiously when facing a powerful enemy. The last stamen is ten times stronger, so unless it's a life-or-death crisis, never use it lightly, understand, old monster?" Tianlin solemnly reminded him.

Even though the potency of the Snow Swan Kiss has been greatly reduced, its power is still ten times stronger, enough to cause a catastrophe.

"I know, hurry up and give me the little monster." Dugu Bo snatched the Snow Swan Kiss as if afraid that Tianlin would change his mind, looking at it as if it were a treasure. With it, what was there to be afraid of Chrysanthemum Douluo? Even if he came with Ghost Douluo, he wouldn't be afraid. Watch me take on both of them.

Seeing the excited Dugu Bo, Tianlin smiled. He didn't know how to make hidden weapons, so he couldn't give Dugu Bo something like the Mother-Child Soul-Chasing Deadly Dart to deal with enemies. So he could only give him this: the Snow-White Swan Kiss, which was definitely stronger and more terrifying than the Mother-Child Soul-Chasing Deadly Dart.

“Little monster, let’s go. You can’t stay here forever. If you don’t go out and experience more, how will you become a Title Douluo in the future?” Dugu Bo made no attempt to hide his admiration for Tianlin. “The outside world is much broader. That’s where you should go.”

“You’re right. Then let me gather some more herbs, and we’ll set off together in three days to return to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.” Tianlin smiled slightly, no longer dwelling on it.

Three days later, at the foot of Qibao Mountain, the old man and the young man finally returned. Tianlin was not as heartless as Tang San; he only took what he needed, leaving the other herbs to continue growing properly in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

Just as Dugu Bo said, that was his home, and Tianlin could go there whenever he wanted, and pick the fruit whenever he needed.

Tianlin first took Dugu Bo back to Qibao Village. He hadn't been back for half a year, and it was only right and proper for him to see his parents first.

Upon seeing Tianlin return, Jun Tianhai and Mo Lan were overjoyed. However, when they saw Dugu Bo, the titled Douluo, they were so frightened that they dared not utter a single word.

After all, the status of a Title Douluo on the continent is extremely high; ordinary people like them would hardly ever meet one in their entire lives.

Tianlin took out a Grade Nine Purple Gold Pill and gave one to each of his parents. Jun Tianhai's talent was limited, and he might never be able to break through to level 30 in his lifetime. However, the medicinal power of this Purple Gold Pill was enough to support him to level 40.

As for Moran, although she has no soul power, she can still prolong her life with the Purple Gold Pill. Originally, Moran didn't want it, thinking it would be a waste to give it to her. But when she heard that the Purple Gold Pill also had the ability to maintain youth, she almost snatched Tianlin's other two pills, leaving Tianlin both amused and exasperated.

After fulfilling their filial duties to their parents, Tianlin and Dugu Bocai went up the mountain. Soon, they entered Qibao City and arrived at the gate of the Qibao Glazed Tile School.

Chapter 54 Returning to the Sect: Dugu Bo Joins the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School

At the main gate of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, the guards saw the two walking towards them from afar. These insignificant people did not recognize Dugu Bo, but they recognized Tian Lin. They immediately stepped forward to greet him respectfully, "Young Master Tian Lin, you are back."

Tianlin nodded. "It's been a long time, everyone. Are Uncle Ning and my master here?"

"Yes, Sect Master Ning and the three elders are all inside the main hall. Young Master, may I ask who this is?" The guard asked Dugu Bo. It was his duty; if an outsider wanted to enter the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, he had to know who it was.

"Let me introduce you. This man will be our sect's fourth elder in the future. He is none other than Poison Douluo, Senior Dugu Bo." Tian Lin's words surprised everyone.

"Greetings, Your Majesty the Poisonous One!" The proper etiquette for a Title Douluo must not be neglected; this is what Ning Fengzhi taught them—respect for the strong.

The cleverer ones had already run into the sect. How could they not inform the sect leader about such a big event as the visit of a Title Douluo? Moreover, judging from what Tianlin just said, this Poison Douluo was here to join their sect.

"Hmm." Dugu Bo nodded coldly at them. He wasn't the type to be overly enthusiastic towards just anyone. Apart from Tian Lin, Dugu Bo remained the same arrogant Dugu Bo to everyone else.

Tianlin led Dugu Bo into the sect. As the wealthiest sect, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was no less prosperous than the royal palace.

"How is it, old monster? Isn't this place pretty good?" Tianlin asked.

"Hmm, not bad indeed, little monster. Do you think I can make that decision, being a guest elder who doesn't do anything here?" What Dugu Bo cares about most is freedom; he dislikes feeling restricted the most.

"Of course Xiao Tian will do it." At this moment, a gentle and magnetic voice came. It turned out that Ning Fengzhi had received the news that Tian Lin had returned with Dugu Bo and came out to greet him personally. Behind him were two Guardian Douluos and Soul Douluo Elder Yin Yang.

"Brother Sword!" At the same time, a little girl in a green dress ran over and jumped into Tianlin's arms.

"Rongrong, it's been a long time. You've grown taller and become even more beautiful," Tianlin said with a smile, ruffling Ning Rongrong's hair.

"Brother Jian, I miss you so much. Now that you're back, are you staying?" Ning Rongrong looked at Tianlin expectantly. Although Tianlin had returned once or twice in the past six months, he never stayed for very long.

The place where Dugu Bo lived was too dangerous, so Ning Fengzhi and the others did not allow Ning Rongrong to come at all, as she had long missed her sword-wielding brother.

"Okay, I'm not leaving. At most, I'll just go back to the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy to study. You can come see me anytime." The Heavenly Dou Royal Academy is only half a day's journey from Seven Treasures City. Ning Rongrong figured she could just find someone to take her there; it would be safe and quick.

Ning Rongrong was overjoyed. "That's wonderful!"

Ning Fengzhi walked up to Dugu Bo and said politely, "Senior Dugu, Xiao Tian is the future Guardian Douluo of my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. I, Ning Fengzhi, acknowledge all the promises he made to you before. If you are willing to join the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, I would be honored."

Ning Fengzhi wouldn't put on any airs of a sect leader at this moment. He'd be crazy to accept a titled Douluo joining his sect.

Moreover, Poison Douluo is known as the Poison King of the World and the best in group battles. He alone is enough to defeat thousands of troops.

"Sect Master Ning, you're too kind. Xiao Tian promised me that after I join the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, the sect will not only take care of my daily life, but also won't let me handle any affairs."

"Furthermore, my granddaughter has fallen in love with the heir of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family. In this way, it can be seen as a marriage alliance between the two major sects, and you will also need to help prepare the dowry." Dugu Bo was completely unceremonious and spoke very bluntly.

But what he said was no big deal to Ning Fengzhi. Their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School had no shortage of money. Supporting a grandfather and granddaughter was a piece of cake. Moreover, Dugu Bo was right. Once he joined the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, his granddaughter's marriage to Yu Tianheng could be seen as a marriage alliance between the two major sects.

This powerful alliance would be entirely beneficial to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and Ning Fengzhi immediately agreed.

"Alright, then I'll grant you a place at your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School for the sake of this little monster."

Upon hearing this, Ning Fengzhi was overjoyed. His sect had gone from having two Douluo to having three, and the rise of his Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was unstoppable.

He immediately wanted to hold a grand welcoming ceremony for Dugu Bo, but Dugu Bo declined for the time being, saying that he had something else to do, the ceremony for joining the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and he would have to wait until that was completed.

Seeing that Dugu Bo was about to leave, Bone Douluo suddenly stepped forward and said, "Wait, old Poison Master, when you return victorious, let's have a drink together. From now on, we are brothers of the same sect."

"Alright, old bones, old swordsman, prepare some fine wine and wait for my return." Dugu Bo nodded and disappeared in a flash.

In fact, they all knew what Dugu Bo was going to do: to end his decades-long feud with Chrysanthemum Douluo. They did not intend to stop him.

This is the last time. If he waits until he joins a sect before going to find Chrysanthemum Douluo, it would be the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School provoking the Spirit Hall. Therefore, Dugu Bo will definitely go all out this time.

"Go, old monster, blow that chrysanthemum to pieces, and you'll definitely win." Tianlin said with a faint smile, watching the direction Dugu Bo had left.

In the original story, Dugu Bo, at level 92, could defeat Chrysanthemum Douluo with the combination of the Mother-Child Soul-Chasing Dart. Now, at level 93, with the addition of the Snow-Colored Swan Kiss, he'll surely cripple Chrysanthemum Douluo.

"Xiao Tian, ​​how did you persuade Dugu Bo? He's a very stubborn person. The Spirit Hall has tried to recruit him so many times, but to no avail," Ning Fengzhi and the others asked curiously.

"Because I gave him a magical herb," ​​Tianlin said, slightly modifying his account of what happened at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well before telling Ning Fengzhi and the others.

He accidentally discovered the wonderful uses of Snow Swan Kiss while studying poisons, and then gave it to Dugu Bo. Dugu Bo then became his close friend despite their age difference, and promised him three things.

Then he used one of the promises to get Dugu Bo to join the sect.

Ning Fengzhi nodded after listening. If the Snow Swan Kiss was truly so magical, enough to increase Dugu Bo's combat power several times over, then it wouldn't be surprising if it could move him.

Moreover, besides his ruthlessness and viciousness, Dugu Bo was also known throughout the mainland for his integrity. He always kept his promises, a fact known to everyone on the mainland.

"Xiao Tian, ​​you've recruited a Title Douluo for the sect, that's a truly great achievement! Come, come with Uncle Ning to the main hall, Uncle will reward you handsomely." Ning Fengzhi was in a very good mood; he had already decided that he would definitely reward Tian Lin handsomely this time.

Rewarding those who have made contributions is a fundamental principle for the head of a sect.

Chapter 55 Distributing Immortal Items

Tianlin returned to the Seven Treasures Hall with Ning Fengzhi and the others. Once there, he could take out some things, because those who could enter this place were definitely his own people.

If they were outside, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School would be a large sect, teeming with all sorts of people. Who could guarantee that there weren't spies from other sects or the Spirit Hall lurking there?

Moreover, as if Ning Fengzhi had made prior arrangements with Tianlin, as soon as he entered the main hall, he waved for everyone except Tianlin, Ning Rongrong, and the three elders to leave.

The reason is that the reward Ning Fengzhi prepared for Tianlin was extremely valuable, and the fewer people who knew about it, the better. After all, a common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime.

"Xiao Tian, ​​what level is your soul power now? The message I sent earlier said that you had successfully obtained your third soul ring with Dugu Bo's help, is that right?" Chen Xin asked with concern.

"Yes, Master, my third spirit ring comes from a 5,500-year-old Gale Golden-Winged Eagle. It not only gave me a very powerful third spirit skill, but also greatly increased my spirit power. My current spirit power is about the peak of level 32."

"Level 32 peak, Xiao Tian, ​​you've truly broken the continent's record. Looking across the entire continent, I'm afraid there's never been a Soul Master as young as you." Ning Fengzhi was both surprised and delighted.

"Actually, it has happened before," Tianlin thought to himself. Qian Renxue, who was at the 20th level of the Innate Realm, must have broken through to the 30th level before she was nine years old. If it weren't for him and Tang San, she would have been the true number one genius on the continent.

Perhaps in terms of pure talent, even Tang San, the protagonist of the original novel, is inferior to her.

At this moment, Ning Fengzhi took out a magnificent treasure box from his personal soul tool and handed it to Tianlin, saying, "Little Tian, ​​this is the reward I prepared for you. Open it and see if you like it."

Tianlin took the box, opened it, and found a soul bone inside. No wonder Ning Fengzhi had just kicked everyone else out; this thing was indeed precious.

“Xiao Tian, ​​this is a right leg bone, taken from a 60,000-year-old soul beast, the Gale Wolf. It’s called the Howling Wind Teleportation Right Leg. Coincidentally, your latest soul ring is also wind-attribute. Don’t you think you and this leg bone are destined for each other?” Ning Fengzhi introduced with a smile.

"A 60,000-year-old soul bone!" Tianlin exclaimed in surprise. "Uncle Ning, isn't this too precious? I think even within the sect, there aren't many soul bones of this level stored up, are there?"

“Yes, even our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School only has four soul bones of this level. The other three are on me, Uncle Bone, and Uncle Sword respectively.” Ning Fengzhi saw Tian Lin’s hesitation and comforted him, “Little Tian, ​​you don’t need to worry. Although soul bones are precious, they can only be used by someone to realize their value.”

He was indeed a very capable sect leader, never stingy with those who had made contributions. And most importantly, unlike soul rings, soul bones could be recycled.

To put it bluntly, after Sword Douluo, Bone Douluo, and Tianlin pass away, their soul bones will still be returned to the sect. For the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School itself, there will be no loss whatsoever.

"Xiao Tian, ​​just accept it. Didn't you say you brought us a gift too? Take it out and let us see." Chen Xin eased Tian Lin's embarrassment, and Tian Lin no longer hesitated and accepted Ning Fengzhi's gift.

However, his return gift was also extremely precious, even more valuable than that soul bone.
