After seeing Yu Bai nod in confirmation, Dugu Bo finally let out a long sigh of relief, as though a huge stone weighing on his heart had been lifted!

"Since that is the case, then this old man shall bring my granddaughter, Dugu Yan, and join Little Friend Yu Bai's faction!"

"From this day onward, I, Dugu Bo, am willing to follow Little Friend Yu Bai's orders!"

As he spoke, Dugu Bo stroked his goatee and laughed heartily.

"Hahaha, from now on, I'll have to rely on Little Friend Yu Bai and Little Friend Shi Zheng to look after us as well!"

Hearing Old Poison finally agree in person, Yu Bai and Little Fatty Shi Zheng exchanged a glance, each seeing the irrepressible excitement in the other's eyes!

"Hahaha, welcome, welcome!" Upon hearing Dugu Bo personally acknowledge that he was now one of them, Little Fatty shed his previous nervousness and embarrassment. Looking directly at Dugu Bo in the seat of honor, he laughed. "With you, Old Poison, joining us, our faction finally has a trump card intimidating enough to scare people!"

As he spoke, Little Fatty turned to Yu Bai, who was sitting in the chair beside him, and asked curiously, "By the way, Little Bai, has this 'faction of ours' been named yet? What's it called?"

Hearing Little Fatty's question, Yu Bai crossed his hands and assumed a thoughtful pose. As he pondered, he casually said, "Back when it was just the two of us, we could just use the Great Soul Arena's 'Smiling Tiger' team name. But now, there are two more people in the faction, so we need to give it some more thought!"

"Hmm, Old Poison, you're a member of the faction too, so help us think of a good name. Give us some suggestions!"

As he spoke, Yu Bai began muttering to himself.

"How about Flame Alliance? No! That was a title from the Dou Qi Continent. It's outdated if we use it again!"

"Or perhaps Overlord Sect? No, no..."

Beside him, Little Fatty enthusiastically joined the discussion as well.

In the seat of honor, earlier—

When Dugu Bo heard Little Fatty call him "Old Poison," he was not angry. Instead, he merely chuckled. Setting aside the fact that he and his granddaughter had already joined the same faction as Little Fatty, Little Fatty's earlier performance had earned his recognition. A mere form of address was nothing.

However, as Dugu Bo listened to the two of them continue talking, the smile on his old face gradually froze, and the hand holding his teacup could not help but tremble!

What the hell?!

They had not even named their faction yet?!

This faction had originally consisted of only these two half-grown boys before him?! Even after adding himself and his granddaughter Yanyan, there were only four people in total?!

Wasn't this a sect with no sect grounds, no sect treasures, and no sect reputation—the three-nothing kind of sect?! No! It could even be said that other than having four people, it was an empty-shell sect with absolutely nothing?!

Had this old man been scammed?!

Thinking of how intently he had listened when Yu Bai had laid out the conditions earlier, afraid of missing even a single word, while this boy before him had looked so composed and confident, as though a great faction truly stood behind him, Dugu Bo could not help but shake his head and laugh bitterly!

"However, if this fellow truly is the reincarnation of the Flame Emperor, then it does not matter if everything else is absent!"

"After all, with the foundations from his previous life that this Little Fellow has already inherited, where could he not build a faction?!"

With that thought, Dugu Bo also took the initiative to join the discussion. Before long, the name of a faction destined to resound throughout countless worlds emerged: the Other Shore Sect!

Other Shore Sect—taken from, "Before the Three-Life Stone, one crosses the netherworld; by the Yellow Springs Riverbank blooms the Nirvana Flower." It embodied the hope of gathering sect members who could pursue freedom from the cycle of reincarnation and smile as they gazed upon the Nirvana Flowers of the other shore!

Yu Bai, Little Fatty Shi Zheng, and Dugu Bo were all extremely satisfied with this name! Thus, the three of them jointly decided that their sect would henceforth be called the Other Shore Sect!

After discussing the sect's name, the next most important matter was the location of its headquarters.

When faced with this question, neither Yu Bai nor Little Fatty had any ideas. After all, the two were merely students studying at a Soul Master Academy. Other than going out twice to Sunset Forest and Star Dou Great Forest to hunt Soul Beasts and absorb Soul Rings, they had scarcely seen much of the world!

Of course, Yu Bai's eyes occasionally stole covert glances toward Dugu Bo.

His heart also began pounding uncontrollably!

The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well! It was one of the most precious true treasures in all of Douluo Continent!

In Yu Bai's eyes, any worthless Sea God inheritance, Angel God inheritance, Rakshasa God inheritance, or Asura God inheritance could not compare to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well in the slightest!

In Yu Bai's eyes, all those Immortal Grade Herbs and other precious medicinal plants already seemed to have turned into all kinds of pills!

Was there any better choice in this world than selecting the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well as the sect's headquarters?!

At this moment, Dugu Bo was clearly frowning in hesitation as well, thinking to himself, "If we are talking about a suitable location for the sect headquarters, then this old man's medicinal garden deep within Sunset Forest is clearly not bad!"

"The rare and exotic herbs there would be perfect for Yu Bai, our young sect master, to refine medicine with. So long as the roots and stems of those precious plants are properly protected, with the support of that strange spring, those rare herbs would grow back in just a few or ten-odd years! It would also make it convenient for this old man to study poisons and seek guidance from the young sect master!"

"Moreover, according to the young sect master, to resolve the backlash from the martial soul toxins within this old man and my granddaughter, the young sect master will need to refine some pills. The herbs there just happen to be varied enough!"

"On top of that, it is located deep within Sunset Forest, and with the poison formation this old man has set up, ordinary people would never be able to break in!"

"Since this old man and my granddaughter have already joined the Other Shore Sect, I might as well offer it as a congratulatory gift for the sect's founding!"

"Hmm, that place it is!"

Having made up his mind, Dugu Bo directly described the circumstances of his medicinal garden deep within Sunset Forest to the two of them and expressed his willingness to offer it as the sect's headquarters!

Upon hearing this, Yu Bai's heartbeat accelerated uncontrollably, and he stammered slightly, "Th-this wouldn't be, be too good, would it? That is, after all, a medicinal garden you painstakingly cultivated!"

Who would have thought that Dugu Bo would simply wave his hand dismissively and say casually, "Since the sect needs it, and I just so happen to have it, then I'll give it to the sect as a congratulatory gift for its founding! Little Sect Master, please don't refuse any further!"

Hearing Dugu Bo's generosity, Yu Bai could not help but think to himself, "Since Old Poison is being so generous, I can't keep taking advantage of him with such petty thoughts!"

"Looks like I should show some sincerity too!"

With that thought, Yu Bai took a deep breath, then looked at Dugu Bo and said, "Elder Dugu, don't call me Little Sect Master from now on. Just call me Little Bai!"

"And I want to ask you something—do you want to possess a Calamity Poison Body?!"

Please send a few monthly tickets and tips my way. The numbers are really too awful.

Is there really no one willing to support this little author?
