Chrysanthemum Douluo Chrysanthemum Pass

After a while, Su Ming saw that the drop of Golden Dragon Blood Ning Rongrong had ingested was almost fully absorbed.

"Rongrong, the drop of refined Golden Dragon Blood you just took is nearly absorbed."

"That was for internal use; now, we shall combine internal ingestion with external application."

"The internal method remains the same, but for the external application, we need to prepare a medicinal bath infused with Golden Dragon Blood. Use it to let your body absorb the essence naturally; soaking for about half an hour will suffice."

"After that, we will proceed with the internal method, which involves consuming another ten drops of Golden Dragon Blood."

"Don't worry, if you can't suppress the medicinal potency, am I not still here?"

Having said this, Su Ming smiled and raised an eyebrow at Ning Rongrong.

Ning Rongrong's face flushed slightly; she naturally understood the implication behind Su Ming's words, as dragons are inherently lustful, and this Golden Dragon Blood was no exception.

Just as Su Ming was preparing to mix the medicine, he heard a voice call out, "Little Monster."

Following the sound, Su Ming looked up and saw a streak of green light flying rapidly toward him.

Su Ming naturally knew who it was; the only one who called him Little Monster was Dugu Bo.

As soon as Dugu Bo landed, Su Ming did not rush to greet him, but instead said to Ning Rongrong beside him.

"Rongrong, Old Poison and I have some matters to discuss. Why don't you go find Zhuqing to play?"

Ning Rongrong saw the situation and did not intrude.

"Alright, okay!"

Seeing Ning Rongrong walk out of the small courtyard, Su Ming finally turned to receive Dugu Bo.

The two walked to the table in the courtyard, and Su Ming poured a cup of tea for Dugu Bo.

"Old Monster, what brings you here?"

Dugu Bo took the tea and downed it in one gulp.

"After Yan Yan's Martial Soul Evolution, the fact that you possess the method for Martial Soul Evolution spread. Now, with my protection, coupled with the fact that you became the son-in-law of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect Master just two days after your return, no one dares to harbor designs on you anymore."

"Now, Martial Soul Hall has sent a Titled Douluo; they are likely preparing to negotiate with you to trade for the method of Martial Soul Evolution."

"As luck would have it, the person Martial Soul Hall sent is Chrysanthemum Douluo, Chrysanthemum Pass. I have a bit of history with him; we are sort of like teacher and friend."

"Back when I was at rank ninety-one Soul Power, I couldn't beat Chrysanthemum Pass. Now that I am at rank ninety-four and my toxins are fully under control, I had a fight with him on the outskirts of Heaven Dou City."

"Sure enough, as soon as we met, just as you said, he asked me directly if my poison arts had reached perfection, allowing me to control my toxins freely instead of looking like a human-ghost hybrid."

Dugu Bo was so angry at the time that he laughed at himself.

"Just as you said, anyone with a slight understanding of medical principles knows I am poisoned, yet I happen to be the only Titled Douluo with a poison attribute."

"Everyone feels they have no right to speak on it, and since I am a Titled Douluo, no one dares to provoke me, so they all assumed this was a normal phenomenon."

Speaking of this, Dugu Bo began to stammer.

"I had a fight with Chrysanthemum Douluo Chrysanthemum Pass, and I couldn't win from the very beginning."

"The key was that he also saw that my toxins had turned me into a human-ghost hybrid, and he started mocking me, saying that the dignified Poison Douluo Dugu Bo was actually going to be devoured by his own poison."

"Then he started asking me back, 'Did Su Ming cure you?' Immediately after, he mocked me again, saying that without Su Ming's appearance, you, Dugu Bo, would likely have no descendants left."

"I was so provoked by his words that I lost my temper, and my Soul Power broke through from rank ninety-four to rank ninety-five. I became a Super Douluo, and with the help of the Poison Pill..."

"I quickly began to suppress Chrysanthemum Pass, but who knew that in the end, his whole body would erupt with golden light? My toxins couldn't enter his body, and I couldn't land a hit. Since he also lacked killing intent, I realized that when I was rank ninety-one, he had been going easy on me."

"So we stopped fighting. Little Monster, he is currently at my Dugu Manor and wants to see you."

After Dugu Bo finished stammering, he looked at Su Ming with an embarrassed expression.

"Old Monster, you can't be blamed for this; it is truly a matter of Martial Soul suppression."

As he spoke, Su Ming took a document detailing the Immortal Herb "Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum" from his Soul Tool and handed it to Dugu Bo.

After reading the information, Dugu Bo sighed mournfully.

"Sigh, my skills are inferior. I never expected Chrysanthemum Douluo Chrysanthemum Pass to have developed his "Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum" Martial Soul so thoroughly. Extremely rigid and extremely yang, indestructible, and immune to all poisons—I didn't lose unjustly."

"Let's go, Old Monster. Didn't you say Chrysanthemum Douluo is at your place?"

Before Su Ming could summon his Martial Soul, Dugu Bo grabbed Su Ming's hand and flew directly toward Dugu Manor.

Chrysanthemum Douluo was currently sitting in the courtyard of Dugu Manor, sipping tea.

Dugu Bo pushed the door open with a dark face. As Su Ming followed him in, the first thing that caught his eye was a person dressed in a deep red, gold-trimmed, feminine-style robe with an effeminate temperament; this must be Chrysanthemum Douluo.

"Yo, why does Poison Douluo Dugu Bo have such a sour face?" Chrysanthemum Douluo held his tea, swirling it slowly in his hand, and mocked the dark-faced Dugu Bo.

After mocking him, Chrysanthemum Douluo's gaze shifted to Su Ming behind Dugu Bo.

"This must be Su Ming."

Su Ming immediately stepped forward, cupped his hands, and bowed to Chrysanthemum Douluo.

"Junior Su Ming greets Your Excellency Chrysanthemum Douluo."

"Fine, get up, please sit." Chrysanthemum Douluo spoke as if he were the master of Dugu Manor, inviting Su Ming to sit down.

Watching Su Ming sit down, Chrysanthemum Douluo ignored Dugu Bo and began to chat with Su Ming.

"Su Ming, upon arriving in Heaven Dou City, I heard that Dugu Yan's Martial Soul had evolved from a Jade Phosphorous Serpent into a Jade Phosphorous Ice Dragon. Does your Martial Soul Evolution method truly possess such immense power?"

After speaking, Chrysanthemum Douluo cast a glance at Dugu Bo, who had already sat down beside them.

"Senior Chrysanthemum, this Martial Soul Evolution method of mine actually existed before I discovered it; it is just that no one else had noticed it until now."

"Furthermore, the fact that Sister Yan's Martial Soul was able to evolve to the True Dragon level is truly due to the effects of an Immortal Herb discovered by Senior Dugu Bo. My evolution method merely served as an aid."

Upon hearing the mention of an Immortal Herb, Chrysanthemum Douluo immediately perked up and looked at Dugu Bo.

"So that's how you suppressed your toxins before they were resolved? It turns out you discovered a treasure trove."

He then looked back at Su Ming.

"Which Immortal Herb did Dugu Yan consume?"

"Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid."

Chrysanthemum Douluo muttered to himself.

"Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid, to think it was actually the Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid."

Chrysanthemum Douluo naturally knew that there couldn't possibly be only one Immortal Herb. He was well aware that Ning Rongrong, the daughter of Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect Master Ning Fengzhi, had seen her own Martial Soul evolve from the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda into the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda, an event that had occurred at the Heaven Dou Great Soul Arena.

"Chrysanthemum Pass, I am warning you: Su Ming is now the son-in-law of Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect Master Ning Fengzhi, and Ning Fengzhi's daughter, Ning Rongrong, was raised by Sword and Bone Douluo since she was a child. Don't you dare harbor any crooked ideas."

"Also, that treasure land belongs to me."

Chrysanthemum Douluo let out a cold snort and stopped dwelling on the thought, knowing that even if he wanted it, he couldn't obtain it.

"Su Ming, knowing that you cannot join Martial Soul Hall, is it possible to share this Martial Soul Evolution method?"
