Dugu Bo

"Xiaogang, why is your hair like this? I remember your hair wasn't green before."

After having a heart-to-heart talk, Liu Erlong looked at Yu Xiaogang's green head with a puzzled expression.

"Well, it's a long story."

"Tell me, I'm very interested to know what's happened to you all these years."

"Okay. My hair was messed up by a kid named Wang Feng. His Martial Soul is Green Light, and after he did this to my hair, it hasn't been able to go back to normal."

Yu Xiaogang told Liu Erlong about Wang Feng, and also about how he wanted to take Wang Feng as his apprentice, but Wang Feng refused.

"Hmph! This kid is simply blind to talent. You, Xiaogang, offered to take him as your apprentice, and he refused. This kid must be just like you said, utterly Xiaogang, right?"

After hearing Yu Xiaogang's words, Liu Erlong began to denounce Wang Feng.

"Sigh, I thought so too at first, but who knew he would become stronger through his own cultivation, even creating his own Soul Skill, and discovering something else within his Spirit Ring."

"Moreover, just over three months ago, he defeated Dai Mubai and Tang San using his self-created Soul Skill."

Yu Xiaogang said, a sigh on his face.

It seemed like a pity that they hadn't been able to take him as a disciple before.

"What! Isn't Dai Mubai a level 38 Soul Elder? This kid actually managed to defeat him."

To Liu Erlong's surprise, Yu Xiaogang mentioned other things, which surprised Liu Erlong even more.

"Hmph, no matter how talented this kid is, he dared to refuse your offer to take him as a disciple, Xiaogang. When I meet him, I'll definitely teach him a lesson."

At this moment, Liu Erlong's eyes were only on Yu Xiaogang; Wang Feng was already firmly on her mind and was destined to be beaten up.

What Liu Erlong didn't know was that a fierce battle was about to unfold between her and Wang Feng soon.

And Yu Xiaogang thus received a...

At this moment, within the Icefire Yin Yang Well.

Dugu Yan, remembering how Wang Feng had teased her earlier, glared at him with a mixture of shyness and reproach.

"Yanyan, don't you like it?"

Wang Feng stroked Dugu Yan's white, snowy back and grinned mischievously.

"Pah, who would want to do those things with a scoundrel like you?" Dugu Yan blushed at the thought of Wang Feng's wickedness.

Although she really wanted to, as a woman, she was naturally reserved and wouldn't admit it.

"Yanyan, shall we continue?" Wang Feng gestured to Dugu Yan.

"No, it hurts!"

"It's okay, I'll teach you a special skill later, it won't hurt much, and I like you when you're a little devil."

"Alright then, but you have to promise me you won't be naughty..."

"Mm." Wang Feng nodded.

Today, finally having the chance to get Ye Lingling away, he and Dugu Yan indulged themselves for once.

Not far from the house, Ye Lingling, who was cultivating, suddenly opened her eyes. Seeing that the house seemed to tremble slightly, she let out a cold snort of displeasure.

She didn't need to guess to know that Wang Feng had sent her away so he could do something with Dugu Yan. That was precisely why she was unhappy about being sent away.

She had been making her intentions so obvious during the past few months at the Icefire Yin Yang Well, but Wang Feng wasn't falling for her tricks at all, which made her somewhat discouraged.

Was she not pretty enough, or was Wang Feng too devoted, loving only Dugu Yan?

After getting to know Wang Feng, she realized Wang Feng was definitely not that kind of person. It must be because she hadn't made it obvious enough.

Ye Lingling made up her mind that when she had another chance, she would test Wang Feng again. She was determined to find out that Wang Feng liked her.

After some time, a surge of Soul Power suddenly emanated from the cliff of the Icefire Yin Yang Well Mountain, where Dugu Bo was in seclusion.

"Ha ha ha ha."

"It's finally done! Not only is the poison under control, but my Soul Power has also broken through to level ninety-two."

A burst of laughter came from the cave, and then Dugu Bo emerged from it.

"Grandpa, you're finally out."

Hearing the commotion, Dugu Yan had been waiting at the cave entrance. As soon as she saw Dugu Bo come out, she happily ran over to him.

"Yanyan, it's been months, have you missed your grandpa?" Dugu Bo said happily, patting Dugu Yan's head.

"Of course I missed you. You have no idea how worried I was about you while you were in seclusion. By the way, Grandpa, how's your poison?"

"Haha, of course it's all resolved. In fact, your grandpa even benefited from this misfortune, as his Soul Power broke through to level ninety-two."

"Real!"

"Of course it's true." Dugu Bo said, turning to look at Wang Feng, and said gratefully, "Wang Feng, I was able to resolve the poison and break through to level ninety-two thanks to you. Otherwise, I don't know how many more years this old body of mine would have lived, let alone break through to level ninety-two."

"Senior Dugu Bo, you're too kind. Yanyan is my girlfriend, so helping you is the right thing to do. Besides, I've picked a lot of herbs from your garden; I hope you won't blame me."

Dugu Bo said nonchalantly, "Compared to the poison that controls me and breaking through to level 92 of Soul Power, what are those herbs? Even if you gather them all, I won't care."

"How can someone be so blind to a treasure! Ignorance is indeed a sin." Wang Feng muttered in disapproval upon hearing Dugu Bo's words.

The Immortal Herbs garden was full of herbs, and Wang Feng naturally wouldn't act like Tang San, the thief in the original story, picking all the herbs.

He only gathered some medicinal herbs and Immortal-Grade Herb that were useful to him. As for the rest, he left them where they were and let them grow on their own.

"Hmm, Yanyan, your Soul Power..." At this moment, Dugu Bo noticed that Dugu Yan's Soul Power had increased so much, and looked at her in surprise.

"Hehe... Grandpa, let me tell you, I've already reached level forty-six."

"What! Level 46?"

Upon hearing his granddaughter's words, Dugu Bo checked and was immediately shocked.

When he went into seclusion, his granddaughter was only at level 39. Now that she has emerged from seclusion, a total of three months have passed.

He actually broke through to level 46! Seven levels in just over four months! How is that possible?

"Grandpa Dugu Bo, I've reached level 42 now!"

At this moment, Ye Lingling also told Dugu Bo about her Soul Power Level, which surprised Dugu Bo even more.

If he remembered correctly, Ye Lingling was only level 30-something before, but now she has reached level 42.

This was completely beyond his comprehension. Looking at the two of them, he quickly asked what had happened.

"Grandpa, it's because we consumed the Immortal Herbs from your herb garden that we were able to break through so quickly. And there wasn't a single unstable foundation between us."

"That's right, Wang Feng picked this Immortal Herbs from Grandpa Dugu Bo's herb garden, and then he gave it to us to consume, after which we broke through to the next level."

Ye Lingling spoke casually, while Dugu Bo looked at Wang Feng with a look of utter disbelief.

Does his herb garden still have this treasure?

How could he not know?

He didn't recognize many of the herbs in that garden; the only ones he did recognize were the commonly used poisonous plants, which he had already used up almost all of. But what was going on?

"Wang Feng, what exactly is going on?"

Wanting to know the truth, Dugu Bo quickly asked Wang Feng.

"Actually, this can be considered the power of knowledge. Senior Dugu Bo, you didn't recognize the medicinal herbs in the herb garden, so you didn't take them seriously. Fortunately, I do, so I picked these herbs for Yanyan Lingling to consume, making full use of their value. It's that simple."

Wang Feng's calm explanation made Dugu Bo glare at him, his beard bristling. To him, it sounded like Wang Feng was indirectly criticizing him for being ignorant.

However, he couldn't refute it; if he did, wouldn't that be admitting his lack of knowledge?

"Wang Feng, my herb garden has many rare and exotic flowers and herbs. You must have picked quite a few, right? Why don't you take some out and show them to me so I can broaden my horizons?" Dugu Bo said, glaring at Wang Feng.

"Okay, sure."

The herb garden originally belonged to Dugu Bo. Wang Feng had picked so many Immortal-Grade and spiritual plants, it wouldn't be right for him to keep them all to himself. Giving one to Dugu Bo was only fair.

He took out a rare Immortal-Grade that had not appeared in the original work, along with several other spiritual herbs that were not much inferior to the Immortal-Grade, and gave them to Dugu Bo, explaining their uses to him.

After learning about the effects of these medicinal herbs, Dugu Bo immediately exclaimed, "Knowledge is indeed a wonderful thing."

He missed out on so many wonderful things because he didn't know about the Immortal Herbs.
