Million-Year Soul Bone

Dugu Xin smiled warmly. "So it's Little Brother Wu Xian. Come, please come in."

As he spoke, he called to a servant not far away, "Bring the finest tea."

He then supported his wife and led Wu Xian into the sitting room.

The two had barely sat down, and the tea had not even arrived, when a liberated burst of laughter suddenly rang out from the direction of the medicine room.

"Hahaha, wonderful, wonderful! Never before have I felt my body as relaxed as it is now."

Before the voice had faded, Dugu Bo burst in through the door.

Under the astonished gazes of Dugu Xin and his wife, Dugu Bo gave Wu Xian a deep bow. "Thank you, young friend, for saving my family. If you ever have any requests in the future, I will not dare refuse."

The sight left the two of them dumbfounded.

Their father's temper, to put it bluntly, was foul and stubborn.

Even a Titled Douluo might not necessarily make him yield, and they had never seen their father behave like this.

Wu Xian waved his hand dismissively. "There's no need for this. It was only a transaction. You should check on your son and daughter-in-law first."

"Right, right. Young friend, please sit. I'll be right back."

As he spoke, he called over Dugu Xin and his wife, both wearing puzzled expressions.

Wu Xian did not say much. He was only a half-baked amateur, after all.

On the other hand, Dugu Bo had used poison for many years and certainly knew the proper dosage for the two of them better than Wu Xian did.

Sure enough, half an hour later, Dugu Bo returned to the sitting room.

Although he looked rather exhausted, the smile on his face could not be concealed.

He cupped his hands toward Wu Xian again. "Thank you for the prescription, young friend. As I said before, if you need any help, feel free to come to me, Dugu Bo."

"The prescription only treats the symptoms. Old Brother Dugu, are you interested in hearing about a method that treats the root cause?"

"Of course, of course. Please enlighten me, young friend."

The smile on Dugu Bo's face deepened. Having seen the reliability of the prescription, he was even more interested in the method Wu Xian possessed that could cure the root cause.

As for what price he would have to pay, at worst, he could give up this old life of his.

As long as the Dugu Family would no longer suffer from the poison, his death would be worthwhile.

"There's no need to die. Just don't refuse when I need your help in the future."

Wu Xian had no intention of letting Dugu Bo die. A living Dugu Bo could create far more value than a dead one.

He took out a second sheet of paper from his robes and handed it to Dugu Bo.

Dugu Bo accepted it gently. The moment he saw the first line, he froze.

The Soul Core Method was a secret technique from Douluo Dalu 2 that could give an eighty-ninth-level Soul Douluo a greater chance of breaking through to level ninety.

Just look at the number of Titled Douluo in Douluo Dalu 2. This was absolutely something that could serve as a great family's inherited secret technique.

Even the Clear Sky Sect's Haotian Nine Absolutes might not compare to it.

After all, cultivating the Haotian Nine Absolutes required talent.

Without sufficient talent, everything was in vain.

But with the Soul Core Method, one only needed to reach level eighty-nine to cultivate it.

Once cultivation succeeded, one could directly break through to the Titled Douluo rank.

Anyone capable of cultivating to level eighty-nine did not have poor talent to begin with. They were only one final push away from breaking through to the Titled Douluo rank.

And the Soul Core Method could help an eighty-ninth-level Soul Douluo cross that barrier and successfully advance to become a Titled Douluo.

The more Dugu Bo read, the more shocked he became. This method for condensing a Soul Core was unquestionably genuine.

Yet the more he understood its value, the more uneasy Dugu Bo became.

Even offering up his entire family did not seem nearly enough in exchange for something like this.

More importantly, the Soul Core Method was definitely something only a great family could create.

He had already read through it so carefully that he feared he would not be able to extricate himself.

If he truly suggested giving it up, he even worried that a dozen Titled Douluo might suddenly leap down from the roof and scatter him with a wave of their hands.

Wu Xian saw through Dugu Bo's thoughts and reassured him:

"Don't worry. Since I've taken it out, I naturally intend to let you use it. However, without my permission, you may not pass it on to anyone apart from your direct descendants."

With Wu Xian's assurance, Dugu Bo finally relaxed.

At least it was not a secret technique stolen from another family. Otherwise, he truly would have worried about his family's survival.

"That is only natural. Even if this old man dies, this secret technique will never be passed on." Dugu Bo pounded his chest and made the promise solemnly.

Just as Wu Xian was about to say something, a notification suddenly came from the Chat Group.

'Detected that Yu Xiaogang and Tang San left Nuoding City early and joined Shrek. The timeline has changed significantly. Reward: 50,000 points.'

The moment the notification sounded, Wu Xian's eyes lit up.

Wonderful. He had already saved up more than a hundred thousand points. With these additional fifty thousand, he could now exchange them for a Million-Year Soul Bone.

Originally, he had planned to resolve the Dugu Family's troubles and use the points gained through them to exchange for a Million-Year Soul Bone.

He had not expected Yu Xiaogang and Tang San's side to change ahead of time.

He had thought Yu Xiaogang's skin was thick enough, but apparently, it was not all that impressive.

As long as he absorbed a Million-Year Soul Bone, he could at least break through to level fifty. By then, his domain might even grow powerful enough to suppress Titled Douluo.

His tone abruptly shifted. "Old Brother Dugu, I suddenly feel the opportunity for a breakthrough. Does your residence have a Secret Chamber for breakthroughs?"

Dugu Bo froze for a moment before immediately nodding. "Yes, of course. Young friend, follow me."

Led by Dugu Bo, Wu Xian arrived inside a Secret Chamber.

The Secret Chamber was extremely quiet. Aside from a meditation cushion for cultivation, there was only specially prepared food that could be eaten.

After introducing the room to Wu Xian, Dugu Bo voluntarily withdrew. Before leaving, he specifically said, "Cultivate as you please, young friend. I will stand guard for you."

After locking the Secret Chamber from the inside, Wu Xian opened the system shop and began selecting a Soul Bone for himself.

The reason he did not use the Water Fire Dragon King's Soul Bone was, first, because their attributes did not match.

Second, he did not know whether the Water Fire Dragon King was truly dead. If anything had remained within the Soul Bone, it would be troublesome.

Third, once he took the Water Fire Dragon King's Soul Bone, he would inevitably be suppressed by the Dragon God.

What if, after going to Douluo Dalu 3 in the future, he was suppressed by the Golden Dragon King or Silver Dragon King?

It was better to absorb a Soul Bone provided by the system from the start. It was a little expensive, but at least it was safe and powerful.

After choosing for quite some time, he finally found a suitable Soul Bone.

Million-Year Gold Element Emperor's Torso Bone.

According to the system's description, this Soul Bone came from an elemental Soul Beast formed from gathered Gold Element.

Wu Xian spread his domain, enveloping the entire Secret Chamber.

What he was about to take out was a Million-Year Soul Bone.

With such a precious item, it was best not to test Dugu Bo's heart.

After finishing all this, Wu Xian selected the purchase option. A Soul Bone with a wholly metallic sheen, radiating golden light, appeared before him.

Feeling the energy contained within the Soul Bone, Wu Xian was incomparably excited.

He was not worried about failing to absorb it. With the Chat Group as a safeguard and the suppression of his domain, the process might be troublesome, but there should be no problem.
