From Now On, We Shall Address Each Other Individually!

[Ding, contact with Poison Douluo Dugu Bo established, obtained entry [Hundred-Solution Medicine Scripture (Gold)]: Master all poisons, recognize all medicines, possess a benevolent heart, and save the world!]

This contact with Dugu Bo had gifted him a gold-tier entry.

His soul power increased once more.

However, as his level rose, Qin Jiuxiao felt his speed of progression had slowed down considerably.

But the most important thing now was the knowledge this entry had bestowed upon him.

Countless pharmacological and toxicological principles were now etched into his memory.

Never mind the immortal herbs of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well; he could even identify medicines from the God Realm.

He had originally planned to acquire knowledge about immortal herbs from Ju Guan or Yang Wudi, but this saved him quite a bit of trouble.

Combining pharmacology with toxicology, Qin Jiuxiao immediately knew how to cure Dugu Bo's poison.

"Senior Dugu, you must have condensed a Dan Bead, haven't you?"

As soon as these words left his mouth, Dugu Bo was stunned, feeling as though the knowledge he had spent his entire life learning had suffered a massive blow.

"No way, you can even tell that?"

Qin Jiuxiao offered a mysterious smile; he simply knew it in advance, but he did not say so.

Maintaining a bit of mystery was helpful for posturing.

His foresight only made Dugu Bo feel more strongly that befriending Qin Jiuxiao was the correct decision.

"That is correct. I have indeed condensed a Dan Bead. This bead contains most of my soul power cultivation and has already merged with my body."

"Not only does it help me increase my soul power cultivation speed, but it also makes my Jade Phosphor Snake Poison even more potent."

"And most importantly, the Dan Bead and I share the same fate. If I die, the Dan Bead will explode on the spot, leaving nothing but dust for a thousand miles around."

Dugu Bo spoke with a face full of pride.

Qin Jiuxiao wore a strange expression; could this be considered an alternative path to the Golden Core stage?

A Golden Core also happened to allow for flight, just as a Title Douluo could.

"By the way, you mentioned my Dan Bead—could it be that the method to save my life lies within it?"

Dugu Bo asked humbly, looking exactly like a student thirsting for knowledge.

Qin Jiuxiao nodded, then shook his head.

"Yes and no."

"Without my assistance, you certainly cannot do it yourself."

"Because I need you to enter those two-colored springs, and without my help, even a Title Douluo would be helpless."

"If it succeeds, perhaps you might reach a higher realm in the future, and even becoming a god would not be out of the question."

A god!

Dugu Bo's pupils constricted; that was a legendary realm.

Did he really have hope of becoming a god?

Suppressing the burning fire in his heart, Dugu Bo took a deep breath and cupped his hands toward Qin Jiuxiao.

"I do not seek to become a god. As long as I can save Yan Yan's life, it would be worth it even if I died."

"By the way, I have a granddaughter named Dugu Yan. If not exactly peerless, she is certainly one of a kind."

"The people pursuing her could stretch from the Heaven Dou Empire all the way to the Star Luo Empire."

"I will have her return later so you young people can get to know each other."

Dugu Bo seized the opportunity to introduce his granddaughter; without a closer relationship, he felt uneasy.

Moreover, Qin Jiuxiao was not only powerful, but his appearance and temperament were also beyond reproach.

He knew his granddaughter all too well; she was the type who couldn't walk away when she saw a handsome man.

If they could really make it work, wouldn't he be able to soar to the heavens by stepping on his own feet in the future?

"I will be going to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy later, so we can talk about it then."

Dugu Bo nodded hurriedly; being in the same academy was perfect.

Proximity made it easier for sparks to fly.

Perhaps in his lifetime, he might even be able to hold a great-grandchild.

As he thought about it, he began to chuckle to himself.

Qin Jiuxiao stepped back twice in disgust; what was this old man giggling about?

"Let's leave it at that for now."

"When I have time, I will come to find you and personally help you detoxify."

Dugu Bo breathed a sigh of relief, his shoulders dropping as if he had shed a burden he had carried for years.

"And don't call me Your Excellency anymore. From now on, call me 'Big Brother,' and I will call you 'Little Brother.'"

"We shall address each other individually."

Qin Jiuxiao did not object; it was indeed a matter of individual address.

Who knew, perhaps in the future, Dugu Yan would be calling him "Father."

The two walked back with their arms around each other's shoulders, laughing and talking. Dugu Bo cupped his hands toward Ning Fengzhi and the others.

"Since there is nothing left to do here, I shall take my leave."

"Little Brother Qin, in the future, if you have any trouble in this Heaven Dou Empire, just mention my name. I guarantee no one will dare to touch you."

"If anyone does, I will poison their entire family!"

Dugu Bo declared solemnly, then transformed into a shadow and vanished into the street.

Ning Fengzhi looked at Qin Jiuxiao in astonishment.

Dugu Bo was notorious on the continent for his eccentric temper and volatile moods.

He didn't even give face to some Title Douluos.

He never expected that in such a short time, Qin Jiuxiao would be calling him brother.

However, Ning Fengzhi would not ask further; this was Qin Jiuxiao's secret.

If he didn't want to say, there was naturally a reason.

"Jiuxiao, what are your plans for now?"

Sword Douluo also looked over. Now that Qin Jiuxiao's strength was enough to protect Ning Rongrong, they no longer needed to worry.

"We will still be heading to Shrek Academy."

"Flender is a friend of my father, so I must pay him a visit."

"Later, I might join the Heaven Dou Royal Academy and bring Rongrong and the others along."

Ning Fengzhi nodded slowly after hearing this.

Once they reached the Heaven Dou Empire, they would be on their own turf, and they had connections at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, so getting in would not be difficult.

"Very well, then I leave Rongrong to you."

Ning Fengzhi finished speaking and looked at Ning Rongrong, stepping forward to pat her head.

"Remember to listen to Jiuxiao and don't be too willful."

Ning Rongrong pouted and muttered softly:

"I am not."

Sword Douluo also stepped forward to pat Ning Rongrong's head. After saying their goodbyes, they soared into the sky with Ning Fengzhi.

At this moment, Zhu Zhuqing and Zhu Zhuyun had also recovered their strength.

They were thrilled about this battle against a Title Douluo.

"I never thought we would actually defeat a Title Douluo. I wouldn't have even dared to imagine it before."

"This is all thanks to Master."

The sisters hugged Qin Jiuxiao's arms from left and right, offering their sweet kisses.

"Hey, hey, hey! There are people here! There are four of us, don't just make it a solo performance for three!"

"I'm coming too!"

Ning Rongrong gritted her teeth and chirped, running over and jumping directly into Qin Jiuxiao's arms.

Qin Jiuxiao hurriedly supported her bottom to keep her from falling.

Ning Rongrong took the opportunity to wrap her arms around Qin Jiuxiao's neck and kissed him.

Now that Qin Jiuxiao's strength had become so formidable, there would surely be other admirers in the future.

She could no longer be passive.

She had to show Qin Jiuxiao her feelings.

Qin Jiuxiao, caught in the kiss, was stunned for a moment, but it only took him a second to accept the reality and take the initiative.

"Alright, we are still on the street."

"Let's go back to find Xiao Wu and the others, then we will all set off for Shrek Academy."

After the kiss, Qin Jiuxiao patted Ning Rongrong's bottom to signal her to get down.

The group walked in the direction where Zi Ji had left.

Not long after they departed.

Three figures arrived from the sky at high speed.

The familiar figures were none other than the Ju and Gui Douluos, who had rushed all the way from Spirit Hall, along with the little fox, Hu Liena.
