After a brief moment of shock, Dugu Bo's gaze was fixed on the illusory image of the jade swan spirit behind Bi Ji.
His Adam's apple bobbed as he asked, "Your martial spirit... is it the Emerald Swan, which is considered a healer even among soul beasts?"
Brigitte nodded slightly.
Upon receiving an affirmative answer, Dugu Bo felt his heart beating even faster.
Emerald Swan!
A level 98 healing-type titled Douluo!
In this world, who can compare to her when it comes to healing?
Then... what about detoxification?
His thoughts returned to what had just happened.
Dongfang Jing was her disciple.
That kid saw through the fact that he was poisoned at a glance...
Could it be...?
Do they have a way to cure this deadly poison that has plagued them their entire lives and even been passed down to their granddaughter?
Once this idea takes hold, it can never be extinguished.
But Dugu Bo forcibly suppressed his inner excitement.
Ning Fengzhi and the ancient banyan tree were still nearby.
He cannot appear too eager.
Dugu Bo took a deep breath and slowly exhaled, pretending to be deep in thought.
After a moment, he waved his hand dismissively, speaking in an extremely casual tone.
"All right."
"Since you have guaranteed it, then I... will reluctantly agree."
"I'll go to the academy later and find Yan Yan for you."
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Jing nodded slightly and then added, "We'll go with you when Yao'er and Ning Rongrong return from the auction. We also need to discuss this with Ye Lingling."
"Okay, that's fine."
Dugu Bo nodded slightly and agreed.
After all, this was tantamount to openly snatching someone from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
With two unfathomable top-tier titled Douluo, Bi Ji and Xue Di, by his side.
That's quite a bit of confidence.
At that moment, Ning Fengzhi finally couldn't suppress the anticipation in his heart.
Instead of overthinking, it's better to just speak up.
Ning Fengzhi forced a gentle smile, but his tone carried an undisguised urgency.
"Nephew Jing, we've heard that you can concoct a… potion? That allows Soul Masters to absorb Soul Rings of higher age?"
As soon as he finished speaking, anyone could understand the intention behind his words.
The ancient banyan tree, which had been silent all along, suddenly sharpened its gaze.
Even Dugu Bo, who had just been acting casually, immediately perked up his ears.
He himself, being an old man, didn't care.
But if his beloved granddaughter Yanyan could have this divine object to help her…
Dongfang Jing narrowed his eyes slightly as he observed the different expressions on the faces of the three Title Douluos, then chuckled softly, "Did you hear that from Yao'er?"
Ning Fengzhi nodded.
Dongfang Jing's smile deepened.
"The medicine."
"Of course it's fake."
"When Yao'er was young and didn't understand things, I, as her older brother, always had to find some excuses to fool her."
These words were like a bucket of cold water poured over my head.
Ning Fengzhi's smile froze, and he almost impatiently pressed for an answer.
"Then what about your spirit rings..."
Dongfang Jing nodded frankly, no longer keeping him in suspense.
"There is indeed a way to absorb a spirit ring of a higher age."
Upon hearing this, Ning Fengzhi's eyes lit up with renewed fervor, and he quickly said, "Nephew, name your price! Uncle wants to buy your method!"
Dongfang Jing shook his head and refused outright.
He spoke frankly and openly.
"Sect Leader Ning, I'll tell you the truth. This is a closely guarded secret, and even with Yao'er's connection to it, I won't reveal a single detail."
"But, one thing at a time, one issue at a time."
Dongfang Jing's tone was very firm, carrying an unquestionable confidence.
"Yao'er received meticulous training at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and I will remember this kindness."
"Your daughter Ning Rongrong will also reap unexpected rewards by joining our team."
Of course, he didn't intend to bring anyone else into the Hall of Ten Thousand Mirrors to cultivate.
There is another way.
Having said all that, Ning Fengzhi couldn't continue to press the issue.
Similarly,
Dugu Bo, who was standing to the side, also understood the implied meaning.
If Yan Yan joins them, she will also reap unexpected rewards!
Dugu Bo glanced at Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong beside him.
He saw that although Ning Fengzhi had made concessions
But deep within those gentle eyes, there was clearly still no sign of giving up.
After all, apart from his granddaughter, Dugu Bo was all alone and had not many other attachments.
As for Ning Fengzhi, what he needs to consider is the future of the entire Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
Dugu Bo sneered inwardly.
If it weren't for the presence of two powerful figures, Bi Ji and Xue Di, beside Dongfang Jing, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School would probably already be preparing to seize it.
And how shrewd is Dongfang Jing?
Ning Fengzhi, your intentions are too obvious and will backfire.
"elder brother!"
Just then, a clear and melodious shout came from not far away, breaking the delicate atmosphere of the place.
Dongfang Jing looked over upon hearing the sound.
Dongfang Yao, Wang Qiu'er, A Yin, and the girls from Bingdi, who had just returned from the auction, were being led here by an academy teacher.
"Wow! Is this where we'll be living from now on? It's so much better than that lousy Shrek village!"
Ning Rongrong's eyes were filled with surprise when she saw the lakeside villa and the quiet and elegant surroundings.
Wang Qiu'er and Zhu Zhuqing also showed expressions of satisfaction and anticipation on their faces.
"Huh? Dad? Grandpa Bones?"
Ning Rongrong spotted Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong at a glance and quickly ran over.
What are you doing here?
Dongfang Yao followed behind her, her gaze falling on Dugu Bo, and greeted him sweetly.
"Hello, Grandpa Dugu!"
Seeing the two girls,
Dugu Bo, who had just had a gloomy expression, instantly revealed a kind smile.
His face, which was usually filled with a cold and sinister aura, now appeared somewhat kind.
"Okay, okay."
"Has Yao'er grown taller again after not seeing her for several months?"
At that moment, Gintoki and Hyotei slowly walked over.
Dugu Bo's smile froze, and his expression inevitably became somewhat solemn.
Dongfang Jing stepped forward and introduced himself to everyone.
"Senior Dugu, these two are Blue Silver Douluo, Sister A Yin, and Ice Emperor Douluo, Ice Emperor, Sister Bing'er."
Blue Silver Douluo? Ice Emperor Douluo?
Dugu Bo's heart was in turmoil; there were two more titled Douluo he had never heard of before.
Who exactly are these people?!
He subconsciously lowered his voice and asked Dongfang Jing.
Are there any others?
Dongfang Jing was slightly taken aback, then quickly realized what he was referring to, and shook his head with a smile.
"They're gone. All four of them were our partners."
Dugu Bo breathed a sigh of relief for no apparent reason, but his tense nerves did not relax at all.
Although Dugu Bo was naturally aloof and disliked interacting with strangers
But he knew very well that if his granddaughter Dugu Yan were to join them in the future, the deadly poison in both of them might have to be treated by this group of mysterious people.
