Gui Mei: We're All Bros! Star Luo Banquet! (Request Monthly Ticket)

Yue Guan turned to look and, sure enough, it was a Soul Bone—one of the six basic Soul Bones, and a Torso Bone second only to a Head Soul Bone.

A Fifty Thousand Year Dragon Whisker Whale Torso Bone could not be described as merely priceless. It was worth several cities.

A flash of greed passed through Gui Mei's eyes before they eventually cleared again.

He handed the Soul Bone to Yue Guan.

"Ju Hua Guan, put this away!"

"A Fifty Thousand Year Soul Bone, and the Torso Bone of a Dragon Blood Soul Beast—it would greatly improve the strength of any Soul Master below Soul Douluo."

"You'd better make him thank me properly!"

Yue Guan unceremoniously accepted the Soul Bone, examined it for a moment, then stored it in his Spatial Soul Tool.

"Haha, Old Gui, don't worry. When the time comes, I'll have him get you a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone too!"

"I believe he'll definitely become a Limit Douluo. A Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast definitely won't be a problem."

As early as the fifth day after arriving at sea, Yue Guan had told Gui Mei all about Lu Duzhou.

As his closest friend, Gui Mei received the same treatment as Yue Guan. Aside from a few Gold Soul Coins, he had gotten no benefits at all.

If they had not feared Bibi Dong's strength, they would not have allowed her to order them around.

For such a small amount of Gold Soul Coins, which empire would not welcome them as honored guests?

Yue Guan had also told Gui Mei about the Immortal Herbs.

Although there were no spare Immortal Herbs for him, he had promised him a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone.

Yue Guan said it, and Gui Mei believed it.

There was no other reason. They were true bros!

"Huh? There's something else here."

Gui Mei's Spiritual Power was formidable. With a casual glance, he noticed something unusual inside the Soul Beast's body.

He reached out with a grab, and a bead flew into his hand.

Yue Guan was highly knowledgeable and said in surprise:

"This is a Soul Beast Inner Core!"

"Some dragon-type and snake-type Soul Beasts are more likely to produce Inner Cores. They contain abundant Soul Power and should be quite effective for refining medicine or assisting Soul Masters in cultivation."

Gui Mei smiled.

"Your student is pretty lucky. Send this over to him as well!"

"The sooner he grows stronger, the sooner I'll get my Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone."

Yue Guan put away the Dragon Whisker Whale's Inner Core and patted Gui Mei on the shoulder.

"Old Gui! Let's head back!"

Over this period, they had already killed more than a dozen Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Rubber beasts. Bringing back half the Whale Rubber would be enough to report completion.

Yue Guan planned to secretly visit Heaven Dou City first before returning to Spirit City.

However, after arriving in Heaven Dou City, he learned that Lu Duzhou, Dugu Bo, and the others had gone to the Star Luo Empire. He could only return to Spirit City first to report back.

Star Luo Empire.

Inside the Imperial Palace banquet hall, all kinds of fine wines and delicacies were served. After a dance ended, Star Luo Emperor Dai Yunfei raised his cup and said:

"Poison Douluo, Your Excellency, your presence in our Star Luo Empire today brings us Pomp and Splendor. I offer you a toast!"

A Title Douluo alone could stand against an army of ten thousand.

At the same time, they stood almost above Imperial Power.

If not for Spirit Hall, the organization that governed Soul Masters and kept most Title Douluos under control, no one knew what kind of chaos the entire continent would have fallen into.

Every Title Douluo possessed the power to support the founding of an empire.

And a Title Douluo like Dugu Bo, whose attacks covered an enormous area, was the nightmare of every hostile nation.

For example, if Dugu Bo were truly angered now, he absolutely had the ability to kill everyone in the Imperial Palace completely.

Wiping out every member of the Star Luo Empire's royal family would be enough to overthrow the empire.

Thus, Dai Yunfei was exceedingly courteous toward Dugu Bo.

Ever since learning that Dugu Bo and his group intended to enter the Star Luo Empire, he had sent people to make arrangements.

Once Dugu Bo entered the country, Star Luo Empire officials accompanied him along the way and escorted him all the way to Star Luo City, ensuring that no one would harass him and cause unnecessary trouble.

Although he had been judged the weakest Title Douluo, he was still a Title Douluo!

He belonged to the true group standing at the pinnacle of the pyramid.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Dugu Bo raised his wine cup and took a sip.

Dai Yunfei said:

"Your Excellency, since you have come as a guest to our Star Luo Empire, please tell me if there is anything you need. So long as it is within my power, I will certainly satisfy Your Excellency."

Because of the Ten-Thousand-Year Third Ring, all sides had been watching Dugu Bo.

At such a critical juncture, he had suddenly brought so many people across such a great distance to the Star Luo Empire. No one would believe there was not some enormous benefit involved.

It was inappropriate to ask in private, but asking openly might yield a little information.

Dugu Bo had long prepared an answer to this question. He smiled and said:

"Your Majesty need not go to such great lengths."

"My student Tang San's brother, Lu Duzhou, has a special Martial Soul—a piece of land. He needs to plant Plant-type Martial Souls in order to increase his Cultivation Speed."

"One purpose of this trip is to acquire the Martial Souls of some Plant Soul Masters within the Star Luo Empire."

"Besides that, it is for refining medicine."

"There are some issues with my Martial Soul. I have been researching medicine refinement these past years, and I recently thought of a method. Thus, I came this time to visit several people and study medicine refinement together."

"It is rare for us to travel such a long distance, so I merely brought these children along to broaden their horizons."

"Your Majesty need not make such a grand fuss hosting us."

Many people were watching them now, and their movements could not be concealed.

Visiting Lou Gao, Yang Wudi, and the Payne Family could not be hidden anyway, so it was better to bring them into the open.

If they truly succeeded in refining pills later, they could also use this opportunity to win over talented people.

Dugu Bo's words were quite convincing. They were logical and well-supported, and his subsequent movements could be used to verify them.

Dai Yunfei accepted this answer, and then the host and guests enjoyed themselves to the fullest.

After the welcoming banquet ended, Lu Duzhou visited the Payne Family alone the next day.

Its current head, Matthew Payne, a marquis of the Star Luo Empire, received Lu Duzhou in the reception hall.

"I had long heard of the effects of your Martial Soul, little friend. But previously, you were far away in the Heaven Dou Empire, and I was tied up with worldly affairs, so I was unable to invite you over."

"Now that you have come first, I will call those juniors here and have them plant their Martial Souls. How does that sound?"

The circle of Plant Soul Masters was not large. Pano City in the Heaven Dou Empire could be considered one of the places where Plant Soul Masters gathered most densely, and the Payne Family had people there as well.

Naturally, they knew about Lu Duzhou's Land Martial Soul.

Matthew had long been interested in such a benefit that directly increased Cultivation Speed.

However, Lu Duzhou was connected to too many things, and it was impossible to bring him back to the Star Luo Empire.

It was also inappropriate for his younger generation to travel to the Heaven Dou Empire.

And so, the matter had been delayed until now.

Lu Duzhou taking the initiative to come to the Star Luo Empire was undoubtedly excellent news.

Today, he had even come directly to their door, making Matthew even happier.

Originally, he had planned to invite the other party over. Now that Lu Duzhou had come of his own accord, he would not need to offer some benefits.

Lu Duzhou smiled and said:

"Senior, there is no need to rush. The area of land created by my Martial Soul is limited, so I truly cannot accommodate everyone."

"I can give the Payne Family three slots, but I have one condition."

Matthew understood that resources were limited.

Even in Pano City, only the talents of a few families had received help from Lu Duzhou's Land Martial Soul.

"What condition? Please speak freely, little friend. If I can do it, I certainly will not refuse."
