At the same time, deep inside Heaven Dou City, Shrek Academy, in a quietly furnished room in the quiet teachers' dormitory area that was simply furnished but filled with the faint fragrance of herbs and ink, Dugu Bo was staring at a furnace of new refining medicine, trying to improve the proportions of a certain formula.
The old man was staring intently at the churning green liquid, cursing and muttering, "The heat is wrong." Suddenly, he seemed to sense something, and his movements suddenly stopped, and a trace of surprise appeared on his wrinkled face.
He put down the small jade pestle he was playing with the medicinal materials in his hand, frowned, and stretched out his skinny palm. A green light flashed in his palm, and an Jade Snake-Scale Token that was almost exactly the same shape as the Ning Fengzhi he handed to him, but seemed to be older and darker in color appeared out of thin air and was lying quietly in his palm.
At this moment, this token, which has been silent all this time, is emitting a weak fluorescence that is homologous to the turquoise color of the token itself, and is trembling slightly at an extremely slight frequency that is difficult for ordinary people to detect. The trembling is not random vibration, but has a unique rhythm, as if it is resonating with somewhere far away.
"Huh?" Dugu Bo narrowed his somewhat cloudy eyes that occasionally flashed with a frightening light, stared at the ringing token in his palm, and whispered to himself, "It's strange... how could the token I gave to Fengzhi boy react? And this fluctuation... is not that he actively triggered a call for help, but rather that it was held by an outsider to try to induce resonance in the token?"
As the Refining bearer of the token, he naturally senses it much more clearly than others. He can tell that this is not something Ning Fengzhi actively activates when he encounters danger.
This shows that the token is not in the hands of Ning Fengzhi himself, but in the hands of another person, and this person is outside Sunset Forest, trying to use the resonance of the token to attract his attention, or... apply for a visit?
"An outsider? Come to me with boy Fengzhi's token?" Dugu Bo's gray eyebrows knitted together, with a look of confusion and impatience on his face, "That boy Fengzhi, what else is he doing?
He clearly knows that I hate being disturbed by outsiders the most, especially those cats and dogs who don't know what they are called... Why would he give my token to random people? And have someone come to the door with the token? "
His first reaction was that he was a little displeased. How could he, Dugu Bo, just come here casually? Even with Ning Fengzhi's token, he felt disturbed.
But then I thought about it, with Ning Fengzhi's way of doing things and his understanding of his own temper, he probably wouldn't do such an annoying and stupid thing. Unless... the person who came with the token has extraordinary significance to Ning Fengzhi, or to him Dugu Bo, or there is a reason why he has to see him.
"Who can make that guy Feng Zhi not hesitate to introduce me to me even if he uses my favors?" Dugu Bo stroked the sparse beard on his chin, lost in thought.
Ning Fengzhi is the leader of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect clan. He has a very high vision. Anyone who catches his eye and is worthy of his "favor" to introduce him is by no means an ordinary person. Either he is a lone strongman with extremely powerful strength, or he has a special status.
"A lone strong man with powerful strength..." Dugu Bo's mind flashed through several famous and eccentric reclusive Titled Douluo on the mainland, but none of them seemed to have a deep friendship with Ning Fengzhi, and there was no need for Ning Fengzhi to use his favors.
"I have a special status and I have something important to ask for... Is it for medical treatment? Or for poison?" Thinking of his reputation as a drug tyrant and the various exotic flowers and plants in Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, it is possible.
At this moment, he suddenly remembered that he seemed to have received a brief message from Ning Fengzhi through the Concealment channel a few days ago.
I just want to say that if a lone Soul Master holding his token, named "Kela" and with unfathomable strength comes to visit in the near future, I hope he will consider it for his own sake and accept him. This person may be crucial to the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's future.
At that time, Dugu Bo was having a headache trying to improve a new poison. He just glanced at it and didn't pay much attention to it. He just thought it was Ning Fengzhi who wanted to recruit some "talents" for the sect, so he conveniently threw the boring message aside. Now when the token rang, he suddenly remembered it.
"Kela? Alone Soul Master? Unfathomable strength? Crucial to the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's future?" Dugu Bo curled his lips with disdain on his face, "This kid Fengzhi is getting more and more mysterious.
What kind of cats and dogs dare to introduce me to me, and it's 'important'? Huh, most likely it's some casual cultivator who has some ability and wants to climb a high branch. He is attracted by Fengzhi and wants to use me as a hard stone to sharpen his knife, or simply wants to use my name to stabilize the situation? "
He is not disgusted with Ning Fengzhi's practice of "casting a net to fish for fish" and recruiting power for the sect. After all, Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is indeed in a difficult situation after losing Sword and Bone Douluo. But having the idea on his own head makes Dugu Bo a little unhappy. Is he Dugu Bo so easy to use?
"That's all," Dugu Bo waved his hand impatiently. The token in his palm stopped ringing and the light dimmed. "For the sake of the Fengzhi boy, I reluctantly agreed to meet him. I want to see what kind of extraordinary person he is, worthy of his attention, and specially summoned here."
He made up his mind that if the person who came was just a superficial person or someone with ulterior motives, he would not be polite and throw him directly into the poisonous circle to let him know how to write the three words "Poison Douluo". If he was really capable, he might as well have a chat.
However, the newly improved "Bilin Seven Absolutes Powder" he has now is reaching a critical moment. The heat and the fusion of medicinal materials have almost wasted all the efforts, and he really can't get away. Moreover, the person holding the token only aroused the resonance of the token on the periphery, but did not go deep. He seemed to be waiting for a response and was not in a hurry.
"Let the boy wait for now. This furnace medicine powder is important for me." Dugu Bo returned his attention to the alchemy furnace and no longer paid attention to the token. He made up his mind to wait for the furnace medicine to be finished before going out to take a look.
At the same time, somewhere outside Sunset Forest is close to the edge of the poisonous miasma area.
Kraken stood quietly under the shadow of a towering ancient tree, holding the turquoise snake scale token in his hand. The token was emitting weak fluorescence due to his continuous injection of Soul Power.
He had been standing here for about a quarter of an hour, following the method Ning Fengzhi said, and continued to input Soul Power into the token, trying to attract the attention of the "Poison Douluo".
However, apart from the light and slight trembling of the token itself, the surrounding area is still a dense and lifeless forest, filled with a colorful miasma with a faint fishy-sweet smell.
And the occasional Soul Beast roar from the distance constitutes the theme here. No imaginary figure appeared, and there was no Soul Power or mental fluctuation in response to his "call".
"No response?" Kraken frowned slightly and withdrew the continuous input of Soul Power. The light on the token quickly dimmed and returned to its original simple appearance. "Is the method wrong, or is Dugu Bo not here?"
