Recruiting Level 88 Gu Rong? Dugu Bo's Son Is Sick? Qian Yu: Mother, Do You Know of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well?

"Your Uncle Gu Rong happens to be in Heaven Dou City for secluded cultivation recently."

Gu Ying sighed, her voice soft:

"He has encountered a bottleneck, his soul power stagnant, and he is currently searching for an opportunity to break through here."

Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong asked with a hint of curiosity:

"Mother, what is the current soul power level of this Uncle Gu Rong?"

Gu Ying smiled, a flash of admiration crossing her eyes:

"Eighty-eight."

"Eighty-eight?"

Bibi Dong was slightly startled, unable to help but exclaim:

"That is only two levels away from the realm of a ninety-level Title Douluo!"

Gu Ying was also filled with emotion, sighing:

"Indeed.

After I accidentally met him, I specifically returned to our ancestral home to retrieve the genealogy and investigate carefully."

"Only then did I discover that Gu Rong's branch was a line of soul masters who left our 'Gu Family Village' over a hundred years ago."

"It is a pity that their branch was later hunted down by enemies, and after many hardships, only Gu Rong remained as the sole survivor."

Speaking of this, Gu Ying's eyes were full of wistfulness and admiration:

"He has extremely high talent.

At six years old, he awakened the top-tier martial soul 'Bone Dragon' and possessed Innate Full Soul Power."

"As a rogue cultivator with no one to rely on, he managed to climb his way up through countless life-and-death trials, cultivating all the way to his current level of eighty-eight!"

Hearing this, Bibi Dong could not help but be moved.

For a rogue cultivator, without the resource support of a massive sect or power, to reach the level of an eighty-eight-level Soul Douluo—

one can only imagine the amount of suffering he must have endured.

After finishing, Gu Ying rubbed her temples with a look of helplessness:

"During this time, I have been trying to recruit him, hoping he will join Martial Soul Hall."

"With Gu Rong's talent, if he could receive the tilted resources of our Martial Soul Hall, and go to the Worship Hall to receive guidance from the various elders, breaking through to become a Title Douluo in the future would be an absolute certainty."

"However..."

Gu Ying gave a bitter smile, her tone revealing a touch of a headache:

"He has grown accustomed to his freedom, and he has been hesitant about joining Martial Soul Hall.

He refuses to give me a definitive answer."

Upon hearing this, Qian Yu chuckled, taking on the matter with a relaxed tone:

"Mother need not worry; leave this matter to me.

I will go talk to this uncle of mine and guarantee that I will make him willing to join Martial Soul Hall."

Gu Ying looked at him with some surprise:

"You?

Gu Rong's temper is extremely stubborn...

However, you have been steady since you were young. Since you are so confident, it is fine to leave this matter to you."

Qian Yu nodded, then shifted the topic:

"By the way, Mother.

Since I am out this time, I also intend to officially attach soul rings to my second martial soul, the 'Blazing Angel'."

"Attach soul rings now?"

Gu Ying was taken aback, her brows knitting together:

"I remember your teacher gave strict instructions.

He said that cultivating Twin Martial Souls simultaneously is extremely dangerous, and you must wait until you reach the Title Douluo realm before attaching rings to your second martial soul.

Why have you suddenly changed your mind?"

Qian Yu smiled, repeating the same reasoning he had given at the Worship Hall:

"Mother, rest assured. My physique and spiritual power far exceed those of ordinary people, and I am fully capable of withstanding the backlash from Twin Martial Souls.

Besides, I have absolute certainty, and I have already persuaded my teacher."

Hearing that Qian Daoliu had already given his consent, Gu Ying was still somewhat surprised.

But recalling the monstrous talent her son had displayed since he was a child, she ultimately nodded:

"Since your teacher has agreed, then as your mother, I will naturally support you.

However, remember not to be overconfident when absorbing a spirit ring."

"I understand."

Qian Yu nodded in response, then looked at Gu Ying and asked with a serious expression:

"Mother, you oversee the Heaven Dou main hall, and your intelligence network spans the entire empire.

Do you happen to have any information regarding Dugu Bo?"

"Dugu Bo?"

Gu Ying replied without a moment's hesitation:

"That old poison-master is known as the number one poison-type spirit master on the Douluo Continent.

His family is rooted in Heaven Dou City, so I am naturally very familiar with him."

"What are his recent movements?"

Qian Yu asked, seizing the opportunity.

Gu Ying shook her head and sighed:

"He hasn't had an easy time lately.

His son, Dugu Xin, has been in a very bad state recently; it is said that he is already at death's door."

Hearing this, Qian Yu and Bibi Dong exchanged a glance, understanding dawning in their hearts.

The backlash from the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul had finally erupted.

Gu Ying continued:

"Because of his son's condition, Dugu Bo has been frantic lately.

He has swallowed his pride and gone to the Nine-Heart Begonia Ye Clan several times in a row.

He has been begging the head of the Ye Clan to intervene and treat his son."

"Nine-Heart Begonia..."

Bibi Dong whispered.

"The world's number one healing-type Martial Soul, which is said to be able to save anyone as long as they have a single breath left?"

Gu Ying nodded:

"That's right.

However, the poison Dugu Xin is suffering from is the Jade Phosphorous Serpent venom passed down through their family line, which has seeped into his bone marrow.

Even the Nine-Heart Begonia can likely only barely keep him alive; it treats the symptoms, not the root cause."

Gu Ying paused after saying this.

The corners of her mouth curled up slightly.

"If I hadn't been curious and specifically gone to inquire about it, I wouldn't have known this top-secret information about the Dugu family."

It was somewhat similar to Gu Rong's Martial Soul.

Gu Ying's Martial Soul was the Shadow Dragon.

As the name suggests, it is like a fish in water in the darkness; for lurking, ambushing, and gathering intelligence, it is superb.

Qian Yu's lips curled into a smile, and a sharp glint flashed in his eyes:

"Treating the symptoms but not the root cause—that old poison-master Dugu Bo must be feeling quite desperate right now."

Gu Ying looked at Qian Yu with some confusion:

"Yu'er, why are you suddenly asking about Dugu Bo?

That old poison-master has a reclusive and eccentric personality, and his poison arts are extremely troublesome to deal with.

If you are thinking of recruiting him, it would likely be ten times harder than recruiting your Uncle Gu Rong."

Qian Yu chuckled and stood up:

"Don't worry, Mother, I have my own plans.

It is precisely because he is now at a dead end that this is the best time for us in Martial Soul Hall to bring him completely under our banner."

Seeing Gu Ying's puzzled expression, Qian Yu did not hide his intentions and explained with a smile:

"Mother, actually, recruiting Dugu Bo is only a secondary goal.

My true target is a treasure land he possesses.

The Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well."

"The Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well?"

Gu Ying was slightly taken aback, looking somewhat puzzled:

"What kind of place is that?"

"A treasure trove gifted by the heavens, where countless immortal herbs rarely seen in the outside world grow."

A confident light flickered in Qian Yu's eyes as he spoke softly:

"Those immortal herbs are truly priceless treasures.

If we can obtain them, not only will Dong'er's and my own aptitude and strength be greatly enhanced..."

At this point, Qian Yu paused, his gaze burning as he looked at Gu Ying:

"More importantly, you and Father have been stuck at the Spirit Douluo realm for many years.

If you can consume the appropriate immortal herbs to cleanse your marrow and improve your potential, breaking through to the Title Douluo realm in one fell swoop will be a matter of course!"
