Three Geniuses of Spirit Hall, Chrysanthemum Douluo Wants a Disciple!

"Old Poison, don't get so worked up. I never said I was going to do anything to your granddaughter!"

Chrysanthemum Douluo relaxed and smiled.

His gaze passed over Dugu Bo and fell upon Chu Lan and Dugu Yan.

"Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone... Good! Good!"

"Ahahahaha!"

"I've searched for half my life, and I've finally found them!"

Chrysanthemum Douluo was extraordinarily excited.

At his words, a chilling glint surfaced in Dugu Bo's eyes. He did not understand how Chrysanthemum Douluo could immediately name the Immortal Herbs that Chu Lan and Dugu Yan had consumed.

Dugu Yan asked softly, "Chu Lan, how does he know what Immortal Herbs we ate?"

Just as Chu Lan was about to explain, Chrysanthemum Douluo's voice rang out first. "That is because my martial soul itself is the Immortal Herb, the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum!"

Chrysanthemum Douluo sighed. "I have studied Immortal Herbs my entire life and searched for them all along. I never expected you two to be fortunate enough to use these two Immortal Herbs!"

Dugu Bo raised his brows at those words.

Interesting!

What Chrysanthemum Douluo had spent his entire life searching for had been in his territory all along!

Before meeting Chu Lan, he had foolishly had no idea what those herbs did!

Fortunately, Chrysanthemum Douluo had not discovered them!

Dugu Bo secretly thought to himself, still feeling lingering fear.

"Old Poison, did you find the Immortal Herbs they used?"

Chrysanthemum Douluo shifted his gaze to Dugu Bo, his eyes full of expectation.

He desperately hoped that Dugu Bo possessed information about Immortal Herbs.

"Lunatic!"

Dugu Bo said disdainfully, "Even if I knew, do you think I'd tell you?"

Chrysanthemum Douluo's expression stiffened.

"Rustle—"

At that moment, three figures emerged from the forest and appeared in the clearing.

Two men and one woman, dressed in matching attire.

"So that's how it is!"

"You two also brought people here to hunt soul beasts. For the two of you to personally lead the group, these two must be geniuses of your Spirit Hall, right?"

"They seem rather highly valued!"

Dugu Bo's cold gaze landed upon the two men and one woman, and he let out a frosty laugh.

Ghost Douluo quietly stepped back, shielding the suddenly arrived trio behind him.

"Didn't I tell you to wait where you were?"

Ghost Douluo's tone was slightly cold.

Knowing they were in the wrong, the three silently lowered their heads.

They had already sensed that something was off about the atmosphere. It seemed they had encountered people who did not get along with them.

What Ghost Douluo feared was whether the three had been poisoned by Dugu Bo when they entered this area.

If they truly had been poisoned, they would certainly be at Dugu Bo's mercy!

If that happened—

Their excellent situation would be ruined in an instant!

As Chu Lan looked at the three newcomers, he already understood their identities.

"What? You know these three?"

Dugu Yan noticed the change in Chu Lan's expression and moved closer as she asked softly.

"I don't know them. I just feel that these three may become our greatest opponents in the future."

Chu Lan casually came up with an excuse to brush her off.

Recalling what Dugu Bo had just said, Dugu Yan could not help narrowing her eyes at the trio.

For two Titled Douluo to personally help them hunt soul beasts, they definitely were not ordinary individuals!

"Chrysanthemum Pass, Gui Mei!"

"How about we each take a step back today and pretend we never met?"

Dugu Bo was the first to choose compromise.

If they continued this standoff, the situation would be unfavorable to them. If there were other people from Spirit Hall nearby, things would become even worse.

"Wait!"

Chrysanthemum Douluo's expression turned serious. His gaze fell upon Chu Lan, then suddenly softened.

"Little friend, would you like to become my disciple? I will definitely treat you like my own grandson and spare no effort in nurturing you!"

Chrysanthemum Douluo's offer was extremely tempting.

However—

How could Chu Lan possibly agree? He smiled and said, "I'm truly sorry to disappoint you, Senior, but I have no plans to take a master at the moment."

"That's fine. If you change your mind in the future, you may come to Spirit City and find me at any time!" Chrysanthemum Douluo said with a smile.

"Chrysanthemum Pass!"

Dugu Bo said contemptuously, "Even I failed when I tried to take him as my disciple. Do you think you're that much better than me?"

Chrysanthemum Douluo snorted. "In strength, judgment, and ability, I surpass you in every aspect!"

Dugu Bo was so angered that the corner of his mouth twitched. He shot Chrysanthemum Douluo a fierce glare, then prepared to leave with Chu Lan and Dugu Yan.

"Wait!"

Chrysanthemum Douluo stopped the three again.

"What else is it?"

Dugu Bo slightly turned his head.

Chrysanthemum Douluo glanced at the two men and one woman behind him. Their complexions were normal, and they seemed to be fine.

But that was merely the surface!

One must never underestimate a Titled Douluo who specialized in poison, or the death would be miserable and utterly inexplicable!

"The antidote!"

Chrysanthemum Douluo knew quite a bit about poisons. Ghost Douluo had not noticed it, but he had. All three had been poisoned; it simply had not manifested yet.

Dugu Bo clicked his tongue and smiled teasingly. "Aren't you quite capable? Don't tell me you can't even deal with such a little poison?"

Chrysanthemum Douluo said coldly, "Old Poison, don't blame me for not warning you. They are all talents favored by the Pope, and one of them is even the Pope's personal disciple! You don't want His Holiness the Pope to fly into a rage over this, do you?"

Dugu Bo's expression changed slightly. The world knew very little about the strength of Bibi Dong, the current Pope of Spirit Hall.

However, the fact that she could sit firmly in the Pope's position was enough to say a great deal.

"Truly not simple, but what a pity!"

Dugu Bo's eyes were filled with pity as he casually tossed a jade bottle toward Chrysanthemum Douluo.

"What's a pity?"

Chrysanthemum Douluo caught the jade bottle and handed it to Ghost Douluo. Ghost Douluo hurriedly opened it, removed three pills, and distributed them to the trio.

Dugu Bo sighed. "It's only a pity that they were born in the wrong era. They will be suppressed for their entire lives!"

"What do you mean by that?" Chrysanthemum Douluo frowned and instinctively glanced at Chu Lan and Dugu Yan.

"In three years, it will be the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament, right? Judging by their ages, they'll be competing by then as well, won't they? You'll understand when the time comes!" Dugu Bo gave an eerie smile, then swiftly departed with Chu Lan and Dugu Yan.

Watching the three leave, Chrysanthemum Douluo narrowed his eyes slightly before turning to sweep his gaze over the three youths behind him.

"What did Old Poison mean by that?" Ghost Douluo frowned.

"I don't know. Ignore him." Chrysanthemum Douluo shook his head, then stared fixedly at one of the three. "Xie Yue, didn't I tell you to wait where you were? What kind of captain are you!"

The youth named Xie Yue lowered his head in shame.

"Elder Ju, I'm truly sorry. I couldn't restrain my curiosity and insisted on coming," Hu Liena said quietly.

"Elder Ju, it wasn't Nana's idea. Xie Yue and I insisted on coming. If you want to punish someone, punish Xie Yue and me." Yan stepped forward as well. Though he clearly felt he could not bear the punishment alone, he still did not forget to drag Xie Yue into it.

"You definitely won't escape punishment for this, so don't worry! Keep moving!" Chrysanthemum Douluo said heavily, then said nothing more.

The three hurriedly followed Chrysanthemum Douluo.

Ghost Douluo vanished, concealing himself in the shadows and remaining ready to respond to any situation.
