Dugu Xin?

Dugu Bo pointed here and there, looking like someone who had never seen the world, muttering to himself.

"A ten-thousand-year Top-grade Ice Heart Lotus... a ten-thousand-year Nine-Curved Rehmannia... a ten-thousand-year Nine-Segment Flower..."

At this moment, Wang Lie sidled up to Dugu Bo with a grin, teasing him.

"Oh my, Brother Dugu, what's gotten into you?

They're just some ordinary medicinal herbs, just a bit older in age~ and a bit larger in quantity~ nothing worth mentioning~ nothing worth mentioning~"

Dugu Bo looked at Wang Lie speechlessly. He realized now that his old second brother was mocking him, getting revenge for his own showboating earlier.

At the same time, Dugu Bo understood why Wang Lie had come to find him specifically.

So he had really struck it rich; who wouldn't be green with envy at this kind of wealth? No wonder he had to come find him!

Dugu Bo's eyes immediately turned fiery, and he threw an arm around Wang Lie's shoulder.

"Say, Second Brother, we're good brothers, right!"

As soon as those words left his mouth, Wang Lie's eyes turned alert! The wind-up for this move was all wrong!

Wang Lie jumped away immediately to interrupt the casting.

"Little Poison Snake, don't you go getting any ideas about these herbs. These are treasures that little Wang Chuan risked his life to bring back from the Sunset Forest!"

Watching Wang Lie act out and put distance between them, Dugu Bo was left between laughter and tears.

After spending the better part of the day getting used to each other, they both knew the general character of the other, so there was no way he, the dignified Dugu Bo, would ever try to freeload.

However, while he was amused, Dugu Bo was also secretly shocked.

With his experience, he could naturally tell that herbs of this grade were definitely not from the outer perimeter, and it would be impossible to find them even in the outer reaches of the Mixed Zone.

Because anything easy to find had long since been dug up by Spirit Masters.

And the fact that these herbs were actually brought back by Wang Chuan made Dugu Bo hold this junior in extremely high regard.

Thus, Dugu Bo put away his casual attitude and truly placed Wang Chuan in the position of a powerhouse.

He spoke to Wang Chuan in a gentle and pleasant tone.

"Wang Chuan, Grandpa Dugu won't take these for free. I will buy all these herbs from you at thirty percent above market price.

And I guarantee you, I will mostly only take the poisonous herbs, and for those herbs beneficial to cultivation, I will absolutely not take more than five of any kind.

What do you think?"

By the end, Dugu Bo's tone couldn't help but be a bit nervous.

After all, the poisonous herbs were one thing; there weren't many poison-type Spirit Masters on the Douluo Continent to compete with him for those resources, so Wang Chuan would definitely make a profit with a thirty percent markup.

But these herbs of Wang Chuan's that were beneficial to cultivation were priceless commodities; they would never struggle to sell on the Douluo Continent.

So, as soon as he finished speaking, Dugu Bo felt that thirty percent was too low and wanted to raise the price further.

Wang Chuan was stunned for a moment, not expecting the topic to suddenly shift to him.

He then saw Wang Lie's encouraging gaze, signaling him to make the call.

Wang Chuan looked at Dugu Bo, then at the herbs scattered everywhere, a look of contemplation appearing in his eyes for a brief moment before he nodded slightly.

"No problem, Grandpa Dugu, but there's no need for the markup; just pay the market price.

After all, I have no use for the poisonous herbs anyway, and since you're helping me identify them and buying them, you're already saving me the trouble, so how could I take more of your money?"

"This..."

Dugu Bo was instantly struck by Wang Chuan's generosity.

But hesitation appeared in his eyes; Wang Chuan had given him such generous terms that it made him feel bad about taking advantage of a junior.

Seeing this, Wang Chuan smiled.

To be honest, these herbs were just the result of his hoarding instinct, which was carved into his soul, acting out subconsciously.

But with the Immortal Herbs, Wang Chuan's physical condition had already reached its peak, so there was naturally no need to consume these herbs, which were said to be "three parts poison."

However, since he had already dug them up, Wang Chuan couldn't let them rot and go to waste, which was why he needed someone to help plant them.

Therefore, these herbs were actually dispensable to Wang Chuan.

He would have been fine giving them to Dugu Bo for free.

But Wang Chuan knew Dugu Bo's pride; he certainly wouldn't accept free handouts from someone he was close to, which was why he hadn't offered to just give them to him.

But now it seemed that even selling them at the original price was a bit too much for Dugu Bo to handle.

So, Wang Chuan gave Wang Lie a look.

Wang Lie understood immediately, threw an arm around Dugu Bo's shoulder, and gave him a playful shove.

"What are you hesitating for!? Don't be such a sissy!

Do you think Wang Chuan is the kind of person who cares about these petty scraps? If he tells you to take it, then take it!"

And so, in the end, Dugu Bo accepted the deal Wang Chuan had set, albeit half-reluctantly.

However, Dugu Bo snorted proudly in his heart, already thinking of a way to break the deadlock.

"If you say the original price, then it's the original price. Do I have no face to save? I'll just secretly add more money for you later!"

With the joint cooperation of the two Soul Douluo powerhouses, Wang Chuan's dozen or so mu of top-tier medicinal herbs were quickly sorted and placed, roots and soil intact, into the pre-dug pits.

In an instant, Dugu Bo's originally spacious herb garden was completely filled, leaving him feeling quite troubled.

"It seems I'll need to modify and expand the range of the formation after a while; otherwise, it won't be good if the poisonous miasma affects the growth of the herbs."

Just as Dugu Bo was happily fretting over which herbs he should use to refine medicine in the future, an anxious cry from a servant suddenly came from outside the poisonous miasma.

"Master, it's bad! The young miss is having another episode! Please come out quickly!"

In a split second, Dugu Bo's expression changed drastically, also startling Wang Chuan and his grandfather, who were busy registering and counting exactly how many medicinal materials they had.

Without time for pleasantries, and not even bothering to activate the poison formation, Dugu Bo darted out at high speed, looking utterly frantic.

Wang Chuan and Wang Lie exchanged glances.

They weren't worried that Dugu Bo was playing some trick like throwing a cup as a signal to ambush them.

For one, during their visit, Dugu Bo had countless opportunities to strike; if he were going to, he would have done so already.

For another, if he were truly plotting to kill them for their wealth, they were currently standing in his treasure trove; wouldn't a battle destroy everything?

So, no matter how they analyzed it, Dugu Bo clearly had a genuine emergency.

Wang Chuan thought for a moment and asked, "Grandfather, should we go take a look?"

At the same time, Wang Chuan felt a bit strange. Didn't Dugu Bo only have a son? So where did this young miss of Dugu Manor come from? He was quite curious.

Wang Lie's eyes revealed a look of concern.

A ten-thousand-year Spirit Ring manifested, and the spirit skill Wind Control was activated. After forming a wind barrier around the two of them, they broke through the poison formation and followed the servant to find Dugu Bo.

During this time, Wang Chuan curiously asked about the situation regarding this young miss.

To this, Wang Lie sighed.

"That girl is your Dugu grandfather's daughter, named Dugu Xin. Remember to call her Aunt when you see her later.

As for her condition, you already knew about the problem with your Dugu grandfather's Martial Spirit, didn't you? It's the exact same issue.

Sigh, this family of brother Dugu's truly has a bitter fate."
