The Marvelous Uses of All the Immortal Herbs! Liang Hao Produces Supreme Powerhouses Wholesale!
Besides Bibi Dong, Hu Liena gazed at Liang Hao with a look of worship, as though she were looking at a son of the gods.
Hu Liena murmured, "Xiao Hao, you have so many surprises in store."
"I'm your senior sister, yet I can't compare to you in anything."
"I don't even know how a man like you came into this world. No one can compare to you..."
Hearing this, Liang Hao said shyly, "Senior Sister, don't be like that. You'll make me happy."
"Besides, how could you say you're inferior to me? In beauty alone, you're far beyond me."
"Oh, stop it~" Hu Liena blushed even more and gave Liang Hao a helpless pat.
For some reason, though, whenever she heard Liang Hao praise her, Hu Liena felt a sense of satisfaction, as if she had received a reward.
Ever since she met Liang Hao, there had been no room in her heart for any other man.
One could only say that people should never meet someone too dazzling in their youth.
Liang Hao didn't dwell on it and turned his attention back to Dugu Bo.
Dugu Bo was doing his utmost to circulate and assimilate the Medicinal Power.
About half an hour later, he had absorbed all of it.
Dugu Bo suddenly threw back his head with a long roar and sprang to his feet:
"Roar!"
In an instant, a terrifying fluctuation of Soul Power erupted from him.
The next second, Dugu Bo's cultivation surged to rank 92.
Even Bibi Dong was slightly surprised. "Xiao Hao, your Pill can increase cultivation too?"
Liang Hao explained, "For one thing, Medicinal Power itself is also a form of energy, so it increased his Soul Power."
"For another, Senior Dugu's Soul Power stagnated for years because he had to suppress the poison, so his rank was held back."
"Now that his biggest problem is gone, it's only natural for him to break through one rank."
"That's right!"
By then, Dugu Bo had finished taking stock of the activity and changes in his body. He laughed with unbounded excitement:
"Hahaha! This old man's years of hardship have truly vanished like smoke and scattered clouds in this one moment!"
"Boy, no... young friend, this old man thanks you!"
"Your Pill actually transformed this old man's body at the Life Level. Now my body is completely immune to the harm of the Jade Qilin Serpent Poison."
"This means I can unleash my most terrifying poison without restraint. With my upper limit raised, my combat strength can rise by several levels from now on!"
"Let's see who still calls me the weakest Titled Douluo!"
"And there's another Pill, just right to save for Yanyan, so she can rid herself of the poison too."
"Then the children Yanyan bears in the future will be safe as well..."
"All of this is thanks to you, young friend. You've shown my Dugu Family a kindness as vast as the heavens!"
"Young friend, please accept this old man's bow!"
With that, Dugu Bo's eyes truly filled with tears, and he was about to kneel and bow to Liang Hao.
Liang Hao awkwardly stepped forward and helped him up. "Senior, why go so far?"
"Didn't we agree? This was a transaction. From now on, I'll be making use of your Herb Garden."
"Yes, yes, yes, the Herb Garden is yours, of course." Dugu Bo laughed with feeling. "Trading a Herb Garden I didn't even dare touch for the future of my Dugu Family for generations to come is more than worth it."
"Come to think of it, how could a mere Herb Garden be enough?"
"Young friend, this is my most precious treasure. It's called the Wishful Hundred Treasures Pouch, and it can store living things. Let me give it to you as well."
"The Wishful Hundred Treasures Pouch?"
Liang Hao was naturally interested in it. Without standing on ceremony, he took it.
Dugu Bo felt refreshed and was itching to fight right away.
He muttered, "I've broken through to rank 92, and I've completely freed myself from the poison's corrosive effects."
"I'd really like to find Chrysanthemum Guan for a fight and show that chrysanthemum what this old man can do now!"
"That damned bastard has made me..."
But halfway through, Dugu Bo suddenly remembered that Yue Guan was from Spirit Hall.
He immediately explained to Bibi Dong in embarrassment, "Ahem, Pope, please don't misunderstand."
"I have no quarrel with Spirit Hall. That's not what I meant..."
Bibi Dong snorted coldly. "I trust you wouldn't dare!"
Liang Hao, however, wanted to use the opportunity to make a point. He asked, "Since you have no quarrel with Spirit Hall, Senior, and you and Elder Yue Guan aren't mortal enemies either..."
"Why don't you simply join Spirit Hall?"
"As I said, if you join Spirit Hall and pledge yourself to me, I have a way to make your Martial Soul and your granddaughter's evolve into truly top-tier Martial Souls."
"From then on, your Dugu Family could become a premier family no weaker than the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon. What do you say?"
Liang Hao really did want to recruit Dugu Bo, that Mass-Battle Weapon.
With Dugu Bo on his side, who would he have to fear on the battlefield?
Yet Dugu Bo didn't immediately agree.
He was naturally tempted. "You have a way to make my Martial Soul and Yanyan's evolve?"
"This..."
"If our Jade Qilin Serpents evolved again, their potential would indeed be immense."
"But as for joining Spirit Hall, sigh..."
"I'm afraid that would be difficult. Leaving aside how Yue Guan and I can't stand each other, Prince Xue Xing of the Heaven Dou Empire has shown me kindness."
"And as for Spirit Hall and the Heaven Dou Empire..."
Dugu Bo glanced at Bibi Dong without thinking and said no more, but his meaning was clear.
Any powerhouse could understand the current situation on the continent.
Spirit Hall clearly intended to swallow the continent, which made it a natural enemy of the Two Great Empires.
If he pledged himself to Spirit Hall, wouldn't he be stabbing Prince Xue Xing in the back?
Dugu Bo was quite a loyal man and would never stab his benefactor in the back.
Hearing this, Bibi Dong immediately felt some disdain. Prince Xue Xing? Where had this nobody come from?
Besides, Bibi Dong didn't understand why, when it came to a Titled Douluo who was only rank 92 like Dugu Bo, they should force the matter if they couldn't recruit him. It would be best if they could, of course.
She didn't understand why Liang Hao insisted on having him join Spirit Hall.
But for Liang Hao's sake, Bibi Dong said no more.
Liang Hao was troubled too. He knew this problem wouldn't be easy to resolve for the time being.
With no other choice, Liang Hao replied, "Never mind. There's no hurry."
"I hope that when the time comes, I can find a way to help you repay your debt to Prince Xue Xing. Only then will I be able to recruit you, Senior."
"Since I can't do that now, let's deal with the Immortal Herbs here first."
"Teacher, there are many Immortal Herbs in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. I have definite plans for them, so leave everything to me."
Bibi Dong nodded. "All right, arrange things however you like. Just have the people from Spirit Hall take them to strengthen our side."
"Best to give more to you and Nana..."
By this, she was showing that she knew Hu Liena and Liang Hao were the ones truly close to her.
If she could nurture the two of them, it would be more worthwhile than nurturing the others in Spirit Hall.
Bibi Dong also wanted to strengthen her own inner circle.
Liang Hao nodded and first set his sights on what remained of the Ice and Fire Immortal Herbs, parts of which had already been picked.
Those two Immortal Herbs were on the Douluo Transmigration Must-Eat List. Only by using Water and Fire Body Refinement to strengthen his physique could he lay a solid foundation and absorb stronger Soul Rings.
Liang Hao would start with them, and he intended to refine an even stronger Pill to achieve Extreme Body Refinement in the truest sense!
