The Aura of the Immortal Grade Qi Rong Tongtian Chrysanthemum—It Can't Be Wrong!

Dugu Yao and Dugu Yan left the banquet hall chatting and laughing. Together with their father, mother, and grandfather, they arrived at the entrance of the Jade Glazed Pavilion and were about to board their carriage.

Dugu Bo's expression instantly turned stern. He stopped everyone and shouted, "Ju Huaguan, the banquet is over. What are you still doing lurking in the shadows?"

The moment Dugu Xin and Lin Wanqiu heard this, they faced a formidable enemy. They released their Martial Souls and scanned their surroundings, yet they could not find any trace of Ju Yueguan.

"Old Poison, what sharp eyes you have. You actually noticed me. Not bad, not bad. Can't an old friend celebrate with you in private?"

As the voice fell, a figure emerged from the shadows. It was Ju Yueguan, who had supposedly left long ago, smiling at the group.

"Hmph! Celebrate? You're not that kind-hearted. Speak. Why did you stay here waiting for us? If you can't explain yourself, I'm afraid you won't be leaving!"

Dugu Bo spoke with a grim expression. Within his senses, Ju Yueguan had nowhere to hide, yet he had not detected Gui Mei at all. That man came and went without a trace—who knew where he was hiding!

"Old Poison, don't be so tense. We've known each other for years. There's no need to be this wary, is there?"

"Consider this chrysanthemum my congratulatory gift to you." As he spoke, Ju Yueguan tossed the chrysanthemum he had been idly playing with toward Dugu Bo.

With a bang.

Dugu Bo's immense Soul Power directly shattered the incoming chrysanthemum.

Then he immediately released his Martial Soul. The enormous Jade Phosphor Poison Dragon Emperor coiled in the sky, radiating dragon might as it let out a frenzied roar.

"Eighth Soul Skill!"

Seeing that Dugu Bo truly intended to attack, Ju Yueguan immediately waved his hands. "Old Poison, I have no intention of fighting you. I have something I want to ask you!"

As he spoke, Ju Yueguan promptly widened the distance between them, shifting to a position more than a hundred meters away from Dugu Bo.

As someone who could be considered half a friend of Dugu Bo, he knew Dugu Bo's poison very well. It was exceptionally troublesome, and now Dugu Bo's Martial Soul had evolved into a dragon-type Martial Soul.

His poison-attribute attacks were likely even more formidable than before!

"Speak!" Dugu Bo said warily.

"Old Poison, I smelled the aura of the Immortal Grade Qi Rong Tongtian Chrysanthemum on your grandson. It's an extremely rare spirit grass, one I've searched for many years without ever finding!"

"It is of vital importance to me. You know that my Martial Soul is the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum. If I can obtain the Immortal Grade Qi Rong Tongtian Chrysanthemum, such a precious plant—"

"My strength will undergo a qualitative leap. That is why I stayed until now. Gui Mei has already returned to report, so rest assured, he isn't here!"

Ju Yueguan hurriedly explained, his eyes full of greed as he looked at Dugu Yao behind Dugu Bo. Unfortunately, that Immortal Grade Qi Rong Tongtian Chrysanthemum had already been absorbed by the little fellow.

"Immortal Grade Qi Rong Tongtian Chrysanthemum?" Dugu Bo looked puzzled.

"Yes, yes, yes! It's the Immortal Grade Spirit Grass your grandson absorbed. There's no mistake! Old Poison, you truly have great fortune!"

"If you can tell me where you found the Immortal Grade Qi Rong Tongtian Chrysanthemum, and whether there are any more, I can do anything for you!"

"As long as it does not harm Spirit Hall's interests, I can help you with it!" Ju Yueguan said excitedly. Over all these years, he had never found the Immortal Grade Qi Rong Tongtian Chrysanthemum.

Now, Dugu Bo was his only hope!

Dugu Bo nodded slightly. "Ju Huaguan, I don't know what this Immortal Grade Qi Rong Tongtian Chrysanthemum you speak of is. The spirit grass my grandson consumed was something I obtained by chance."

"It was part of my collection. There was only one in the world, so I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you." He would never tell him about the Immortal Herbs or the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye!

If Spirit Hall learned of it, they might resort to force and seize it. Telling him would bring more trouble than it was worth!

"What a waste! What an utter waste!" Ju Yueguan said heartbrokenly. "The Immortal Grade Qi Rong Tongtian Chrysanthemum can forge an Indestructible Vajra Body!"

"If I could obtain it, if I could obtain it, my future potential would greatly increase. What a pity, what a terrible pity!"

"Senior, I'm truly sorry. I didn't know at the time. I saw that this spirit grass in Grandpa's room was pretty, so I put it in my mouth. Who would have thought..." Dugu Yao said with a smile.

"Old Poison, may I take a look at your grandson?" Ju Yueguan asked tentatively.

Dugu Bo remained wary. "You aren't planning to capture my grandson and use him to force me into joining your Spirit Hall, are you? That's the kind of thing you're capable of doing!"

Ju Yueguan said helplessly, "Old Poison, we've known each other for so many years. I even hunted you down back then. How can you think of me that way? I only want to take a look at him. Is that alright?"

Faced with Ju Yueguan's plea, Dugu Bo finally agreed. He kept Dugu Yao protected at his side, afraid that this fellow might suddenly make a move.

Ju Yueguan came before Dugu Yao, crouched down, and stroked Dugu Yao's cheek. Even his fingers were trembling. "There's no mistake, no mistake. It truly is the Immortal Grade Qi Rong Tongtian Chrysanthemum!"

"What a pity, what a pity. I searched for the Immortal Grade Qi Rong Tongtian Chrysanthemum for half my life, yet it never ended up in my hands. Little fellow, what is your name?"

"Senior, my name is Dugu Yao," Dugu Yao answered. He did not sense any killing intent from Ju Yueguan. Instead, there was an inexplicable emotion that he could not understand.

"Dugu Yao, a fine name. This is a spirit grass I collected, the Qi Rong Flower. It refreshes the mind. Keep it in water indoors, and a Soul Master can maintain their best mental state."

Ju Yueguan took out a stunning flower from his Space Soul Tool and offered it to Dugu Yao. Dugu Yao did not accept it, instead looking at his grandfather.

"Take it. There's no reason not to accept something Ju Huaguan gives you!" Dugu Bo said coldly, watching Ju Yueguan warily.

Although he knew Ju Yueguan, he did not have much goodwill toward him.

After handing the Qi Rong Flower to Dugu Yao, Ju Yueguan looked at Dugu Yan beside him and asked with a smile, "Little sister, this should be your older brother, right? Since your brother received something, I won't be stingy either. This Zhu Lan Qi Luo is for you."

After giving the two children the spirit grasses he had personally cultivated, Ju Yueguan stood up and sighed. "Sigh, I'm afraid I'll never obtain another clue about the Immortal Grade Qi Rong Tongtian Chrysanthemum for the rest of my life."

"Old Poison, if I'm not mistaken, you must have also obtained a special Immortal Herb to undergo Martial Soul Evolution and be reborn, right?"

"Don't worry, I won't pry into it. I'm leaving." With that, Ju Yueguan leaped away, vanishing from everyone's sight.

"Grandpa, why is that senior so strange?" Dugu Yan asked doubtfully as she watched Ju Yueguan's departing figure.
