Chapter 54 Dugu Bo Joins Spirit Hall? Sweeping Away All the Immortal Herbs!
Seeing this, Yue Guan laughed even harder, and even deliberately leaned close to Gui Mei's ear, saying in a cheeky tone:
"Hey, old ghost, don't be so stingy."
"We're good brothers. If I'm strong, you're strong; if you're strong, I'm strong. Why are we acting like strangers?"
"Besides, if you ever encounter an enemy you can't beat in the future, I'll protect you, brother!"
"Get lost!"
Gui Mei finally couldn't hold back any longer and kicked Yue Guan in the butt.
"Ouch! You rascal, why are you getting handsy!"
Yue Guan let out an exaggerated shout and dodged Gui Mei's attack in a flash. The two of them instantly started fooling around.
Looking at these two old rascals who were nearly two hundred years old combined, Bibi Dong and Lan Yue smiled at each other, their eyes filled with helplessness and warmth.
Although the two often bickered and teased each other, they were the most trustworthy partners when it mattered.
Now that both of them had broken through to a higher level and their strength had greatly increased, this was undoubtedly a great boost to Spirit Hall!
"Alright, alright, Elders, stop fooling around."
Lan Yue interrupted their playful banter with a smile, pointing to Dugu Bo, who was still in secluded cultivation not far away:
"Senior Dugu is still breaking through. Let's keep quiet and not disturb him."
Upon hearing this, the two stopped what they were doing, but their eyes continued to clash fiercely in the air, neither willing to concede to the other.
Just then, an incredibly terrifying aura suddenly erupted from Dugu Bo, who had been sitting cross-legged!
"Boom—!!!"
A dark green beam of light shot into the sky, piercing straight into the clouds!
Immediately afterward, a powerful pressure stronger than a Soul Douluo but weaker than a normal Titled Douluo swept across the entire Yin-Yang Ice and Fire Eyes!
"It's done!"
A glint of light flashed in Lan Yue's eyes:
"It seems that our Spirit Hall is about to have another Titled Douluo!"
Dugu Bo suddenly opened his eyes, and two beams of light shot out like lightning.
He let out a long roar that shook the surrounding area.
Titled Douluo, achieved!
Looking at Dugu Bo, who was full of vigor and seemed to have become ten years younger,
Bibi Dong turned her head, and her gaze fell on Lan Yue, who stood calmly beside her.
At that moment, her beautiful pale purple eyes were filled with undisguised admiration and amazement, as if she were looking at a rare treasure.
"Xiaoyue, this time... you really gave your sister a huge surprise."
Bibi Dong parted her red lips slightly, her tone carrying a hint of disbelief and emotion:
"Do you know?"
"What does it mean for a rogue Soul Master to break through to the Titled Douluo level and willingly join Spirit Hall?"
Bibi Dong stretched out her slender fingers and gently brushed aside the stray hairs by Lan Yue's ear, her gaze deepening:
"In the history of Spirit Hall over the past few hundred years, such examples are extremely rare—almost unheard of."
"Under normal circumstances, the Elders and worshippers of Spirit Hall all grew up in Spirit City from a young age."
"Their direct descendants were cultivated step by step by Spirit Hall with all its resources."
"Most of these self-taught yet already famous experts are arrogant, or have already been recruited by the two great empires and the three upper sects."
"Getting them to join Spirit Hall after they become Titled Douluos is harder than climbing to heaven."
Bibi Dong paused, looked at Dugu Bo, who was adapting to his power not far away, and lowered her voice to say:
"And you not only helped him solve the Spirit defect that had plagued him his entire life, but you also made him owe our Spirit Hall a huge favor."
"A Titled Douluo who excels in group attacks and possesses unparalleled poison skills is more intimidating on the battlefield than two ordinary Titled Douluos!"
At this point, Bibi Dong's smile deepened. She reached out and gently cupped Lan Yue's cheeks, her tone filled with a hint of doting affection and pride:
"Xiaoyue, you've done a tremendous service this time."
"Not only did you greatly increase the strength of Elders Ju and Gui, you also added a powerful new Elder to Spirit Hall."
"When we return to Spirit City, I will definitely report to the teacher truthfully."
Bibi Dong leaned closer, her breath sweet as orchids, a sly glint in her eyes:
"Our teacher is always fair in rewarding and punishing students. You have made such an extraordinary contribution this time, and he will definitely reward you handsomely."
"When that time comes, whatever you want—even the stars in the sky—your teacher will probably find a way to pluck them down for you."
Lan Yue felt the soft touch on his cheek, looked at the stunningly beautiful face so close to his, blinked, and grinned mischievously:
"Is anything really possible?"
"Of course."
Bibi Dong nodded confidently, then, as if remembering something, her cheeks flushed slightly, and she gave him a reproachful glare:
"However, you're not allowed to make any unreasonable demands!"
Just as the atmosphere between the two was becoming ambiguous, Dugu Bo had already concealed his aura and appeared in front of everyone in a flash.
Although he still had green hair, his originally gloomy face now looked rosy and radiant, and he was full of energy.
He looked at Lan Yue with a complex expression, finally took a deep breath, clasped his hands in a respectful bow to him, and said in a deep voice:
"Little monster… no, Your Highness the Holy Son."
"I, Dugu Bo, keep my word."
"From this day forward, I, Dugu Bo, join Spirit Hall. Consider this life of mine sold to you!"
"Excellent! Senior Dugu is a man of his word. I admire you!"
Lan Yue quickly helped Dugu Bo up, his face full of sincere smiles.
Dugu Bo had taken the initiative to join.
There were also Yue Guan and Gui Mei who had joined their ranks.
Now he and Bibi Dong had three Titled Douluos under their command.
After that, with further training of Ling Yuan, there would be four Titled Douluos.
The basic team structure was now in place.
Bibi Dong smiled and suggested:
"Since Senior Dugu has already broken through the level 90 bottleneck, he is only one step away from truly stepping into the realm of Titled Douluo."
"Although Sunset Forest is not as diverse in terms of soul beasts as Star Dou Forest, it is still a place where natural treasures gather, and there are quite a few high-level soul beasts."
"Why don't we search around here and see if we can find a suitable soul beast to help you, Senior, officially advance to the Titled Douluo level?"
"In this way, when you return to Spirit City, you will be a genuine Titled Douluo Elder, which will be more effective in deterring villains."
Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo was also extremely tempted.
"Your Highness is absolutely right!"
"I have lived in seclusion in this Sunset Forest for many years and know every plant and tree here like the back of my hand."
"Although 100,000-year soul beasts here are legendary and extremely rare, if we're talking about 90,000-year soul beasts..."
A confident glint flashed in Dugu Bo's eyes as he held up two fingers and waved them:
"I do know a few of those nests!"
"I don't have overly high requirements for this ninth Spirit Ring. It just needs to be a 90,000-year soul beast with a poison attribute or snake-type."
"If I really can't find a top-grade soul beast that's 90,000 years old, then even over 80,000 years old is something I can barely accept."
At this point, Dugu Bo paused, glanced at Yue Guan and Gui Mei beside him, and said with a hint of teasing in his tone:
"After all, unlike these two—Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo—I don't have the deep foundation of Spirit Hall to back me up."
"Why insist on pursuing some 100,000-year soul ring?"
"I'm a rough old man. Practicality is all I need, practicality is all I need!"
Upon hearing this, Yue Guan rolled his eyes and snorted irritably.
"You old poisoner, stop pretending to be humble after getting the benefit!"
"A 90,000-year soul ring?"
"Aren't you afraid of stuffing yourself to death?"
"You should know that even the Elders of Spirit Hall mostly have ninth Spirit Rings that are only 80,000 to 90,000 years old."
"If you can really find one that's 100,000 years old, then your ancestors' graves must be emitting auspicious smoke!"
Although Gui Mei didn't speak, he nodded silently.
Dugu Bo joining Spirit Hall would also benefit them.
"In that case, we should not delay."
Lan Yue clapped his hands and made a decision:
"Let's set off now to help Senior Dugu hunt for a Spirit Ring!"
"But before that..."
Lan Yue turned around, his gaze falling on the vibrant medicinal herb garden behind him.
There, besides the few medicinal herbs that had already been picked, many rare and top-grade medicinal herbs still grew.
Each one of these plants would be a priceless treasure if taken outside.
"These good things shouldn't be left here to waste."
A wicked smile crept across Lan Yue's lips as he waved his hand dismissively:
"Minions... no, Elders!"
"Do it!"
"Pack up all these Immortal Herbs and top-grade medicinal herbs and take them with you!"
"Not a single one can be left behind!"
"Our Spirit Hall is a large and powerful organization, so it's a good opportunity to take them back and replenish our inventory."
Looking at Lan Yue's attitude of plucking feathers from a passing goose and not letting go of a single blade of grass,
Bibi Dong couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle, her eyes full of doting affection.
Dugu Bo's lips twitched slightly.
Seeing his carefully tended medicinal herb garden about to be completely ransacked, he felt a pang of heartache.
But considering that he had already joined Spirit Hall and would have to contribute these things sooner or later, he felt relieved.
After all, he himself had also obtained the Narcissus Jade Muscle and Bone Herb.
It wasn't a loss. Not really.
After a whirlwind of activity,
the area around the once lush and verdant Yin-Yang Ice and Fire Eyes instantly became barren, with only a few weeds swaying haphazardly in the wind.
Lan Yue patted the bulging soul tool with satisfaction, then waved his hand:
"Let's go! Let's set off!"
