Dugu Bo's Little Scheme
Qing Mu was stunned by the scene before her for a while before she came to her senses and calmed down, saying, "Senior Dugu, did you bring me here at this time to fulfill your promise and give me these herbs?"
"I can give you the herbs, and you can take as many as you want, but..."
Dugu Bo paused for a moment, then said, "It will have to wait until you have completely cured me."
"Completely cure?" Qing Mu frowned and replied, "But Senior Dugu, with my current level, I'm afraid I can't completely cure your years-long poisoning."
However, Dugu Bo smiled slightly and said, "Kid, you're already here, so stop pretending. I'm not one of those juniors. Although you've hidden your level well, your level is more than what you've shown, right?"
Upon hearing Dugu Bo's words, Qing Mu's pupils constricted sharply. This old fellow actually saw through it?
Seeing Qing Mu's shocked expression, Dugu Bo immediately patted Qing Mu on the shoulder.
"Don't worry, I have no interest in your secrets. Every rising genius has their share of opportunities and secrets. Your ability to conceal your cultivation level may seem strange to others, but it's nothing to me."
Dugu Bo stroked his beard and said.
Although he didn't know the effects of the Immortal Herb, Dugu Bo was someone who could even kill Tang San with the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well without caring about it.
Having witnessed Tang San consume the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the Infernal Delicate Apricot, Dugu Bo, even if he Oblivious, couldn't possibly be unaware of the preciousness of those rare herbs. Yet, he still allowed Tang San to take them, demonstrating that Dugu Bo was quite magnanimous at times.
After saying that, Dugu Bo waved his hand impatiently and said, "Alright, stop hiding it. Are you worried I'll eat you up?"
"Alright, since Senior Dugu has said so, there's no need for me to hide anything anymore."
Qing Mu sighed. Since he had already been seen through, he might as well be honest.
Having made up her mind, Qing Mu's eyes changed instantly. She put away the Wood Spirit Seed to conceal her power, and a surge of Soul Power far stronger than before was revealed!
At first, Dugu Bo didn't take it seriously, but as the Soul Power fluctuations on Qing Mu's body grew stronger, his expression immediately became serious.
Qing Mu's development of the Wood Spirit Seed is indeed remarkable. Even Dugu Bo, a titled Douluo, could only see that Qing Mu was hiding his cultivation level, but he couldn't figure out exactly how much cultivation level Qing Mu was hiding.
In Dugu Bo's original opinion, even if Qing Mu concealed her cultivation level, how much could she really hide?
Given Qing Mu's age, having a cultivation level of over twenty is already astonishing enough.
Dugu Bo never expected that Qing Mu's original level was actually level 37, which was a full 13 levels higher than the level 24 he had shown!
After a long while, Dugu Bo finally recovered from his shock, gave Qing Mu a deep look, and said, "Now I understand why you went to so much trouble to hide your cultivation level. Reaching this level at your age is truly astonishing. How could such a monster like you exist in this world!"
Yes, in Dugu Bo's eyes, Qing Mu at this moment was a monster.
Before this, Dugu Bo had heard of many geniuses, such as the current Golden Generation of the Spirit Hall, who broke through to the Soul Ancestor at the age of fifteen or sixteen, which he considered extremely monstrous.
After all, in the Douluo Continent where Yu Xiaogang is famous throughout the continent, and where cultivation methods and Martial Soul development are still very primitive, being able to break through to the Soul Ancestor before the age of twenty is already considered a top-tier genius.
Even the Spirit Hall's Golden Generation paled in comparison to Qing Mu at this moment.
If Dugu Bo hadn't sensed no trace of a Soul Beast aura on Qing Mu, and hadn't recently captured a Hundred-Thousand-Year Humanoid Spirit Beast, he would have suspected that Qing Mu was Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.
"Come out, Bulbasaur!"
After revealing his full power, Qing Mu immediately summoned Bulbasaur and, without hesitation, said to Bulbasaur, "Bulbasaur, unleash your full power!"
Since he had chosen to confront Dugu Bo, he naturally had to demonstrate his greatest value and let Dugu Bo know that the benefits of befriending him far outweighed the benefits of turning against him.
"Da na!!"
Bulbasaur 'Bulbasaur also hardened, and a blinding white light immediately shone from its body, which began to change rapidly.
In less than a second, the light of evolution faded, and Bulbasaur's evolved form Ivysaur, made its dazzling debut.
After finishing all this, Qing Mu said to Dugu Bo, "Senior Dugu, let's begin!"
Dugu Bo did not respond immediately; after experiencing this series of events, he had become somewhat numb.
He didn't know how much Qing Mu was hiding; what he saw now truly revealed Qing Mu's true strength.
"This is outrageous! The Soul Master World is about to welcome another figure like Tang Chen, no! Perhaps even more outrageous than Tang Chen!"
Thinking of this, Dugu Bo was even somewhat relieved that he hadn't offended Qing Mu before, and that his granddaughter Dugu Yan, even had a decent relationship with Qing Mu; otherwise, he really didn't know what the future would have been like.
As for killing Qing Mu now, that's a joke. The current situation is entirely in his favor. The ones who should really be worried are the Upper Three Sects and the Spirit Hall.
Dugu Bo is now even thinking about how to further strengthen his relationship with Qing Mu so that the other party can protect his descendants after his death.
"Good!"
After regaining his senses, Dugu Bo nodded, opened his arms wide, and completely abandoned his defenses.
Seeing this, Qing Mu immediately said to Ivysaur, "Ivysaur, thank you for your trouble."
"Da na, da na~"
Ivysaur shook its head, indicating that it was nothing.
Although Ivysaur mainly did the training, Qing Mu's assistance also played a very important role. Their relationship was like that of an athlete and a coach; neither could be missing if they wanted to reach the top.
Immediately, several vines emerged from beneath the bud of the Ivysaur, quickly wrapping around Dugu Bo 'Dugu Bo body and beginning to extract the poisonous energy from his body.
The next moment, the originally emerald green vines turned into a deep purple and slowly spread towards the Ivysaur's body.
While Ivysaur was absorbing the poison, Qing Mu wasn't idle either. Her First Soul Ring lit up, and she began to heal Dugu Bo's body, which had been damaged by the extraction of poison-elemental energy.
With the appearance of the Grassy Terrain, the surrounding rare and exotic plants suddenly became more vibrant, swaying gently and beginning to grow rapidly at a speed far exceeding that of the past.
Especially the few Immortal Herb in the center, whose originally shimmering light became even more dazzling.
