"So you are the renowned Poison Douluo. My apologies!"
After hearing Poison Douluo introduce himself, Ning Fengzhi spoke with a courteous expression.
Poison Douluo had a fearsome reputation across the continent and was known as Old Poison!
Countless Soul Masters felt a measure of dread upon hearing that name.
Even Titled Douluos were reluctant to provoke this old fellow, for the poisonous powders he carried were extremely troublesome.
His Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor venom was especially domineering, a nightmare for countless Soul Masters.
Dugu Bo glanced at Ning Fengzhi and asked coldly, "And who are you?"
The aura surrounding Ning Fengzhi was far from ordinary. He suspected the man must have an unusual background.
"I am Ning Fengzhi, sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect!"
Ning Fengzhi introduced himself.
"So you are Sect Master Ning. No wonder Bone Douluo appeared!"
"No, there is Sword Douluo as well!"
Dugu Bo realized something was not quite right.
"Old Poison, you do have a discerning eye!"
Sword Douluo, who seldom spoke much, said coldly.
Following the voice, Dugu Bo glanced at Sword Douluo, then at Ning Rongrong, and immediately pieced a few things together.
"It seems this little girl has quite a background!"
"Ning Fengzhi, she is your daughter, isn't she?"
Dugu Bo spoke in a low, lingering tone, his emerald eyes studying Ning Rongrong.
"Indeed, she is my daughter!"
"Rongrong, hurry and pay your respects to Poison Douluo!"
Ning Fengzhi addressed Ning Rongrong.
Ning Rongrong pursed her lips. She really did not care for that old fellow Dugu Bo, but she still said obediently, "Rongrong pays her respects to Senior Dugu Bo!"
With that, she bowed.
Only then did Dugu Bo look slightly satisfied.
"What an obedient child!"
Dugu Bo stroked his beard.
Then his gaze shifted and settled on Li Tianyuan.
It was his first time seeing someone like Li Tianyuan, whose looks and bearing could truly be called unparalleled beneath the heavens!
"I consider myself well traveled and knowledgeable, and I have seen many of the world's supposedly handsome men, yet they all fall short of you!"
"May I ask who you are?"
Poison Douluo asked curiously.
He was not quite so arrogant toward Li Tianyuan, for he could tell that Li Tianyuan's aura was deep and unfathomable. This was definitely not someone to provoke lightly.
"Many people address me as Mr. Li. You may call me Mr. Li as well!"
Li Tianyuan glanced at Dugu Bo and spoke calmly.
Though this Old Poison's venom was hailed as unrivaled beneath the heavens, it amounted to little before him.
For now, he did not want to reveal his real name.
"Mr. Li!"
Dugu Bo raised an eyebrow and said with a faint, ambiguous smile, "There doesn't seem to be a Douluo named Mr. Li anywhere in this world, does there?"
"Could you be concealing something?"
Dugu Bo was rather suspicious of Li Tianyuan's identity.
"That is none of your concern!"
Li Tianyuan looked at Dugu Bo, his tone still cold.
"Hmph, this is my territory. If you cannot give me a reason for setting foot here, surely that will not do?"
Dugu Bo snorted coldly.
"Does Poison Douluo intend to fight me?"
Li Tianyun raised an eyebrow, his gaze sharp.
At those words, Dugu Bo's gaze changed as well, and he looked ready to attack.
"Senior Poison Douluo, I specifically invited this gentleman to search for a treasure. We mean no offense whatsoever, so please do not take it to heart!"
Ning Fengzhi hurried to smooth things over.
"Search for a treasure?"
"What are you looking for here?"
"This place is crawling with poisonous things. There is nothing good here!"
Dugu Bo could not help sneering at those words.
He had spent a great deal of time here and could claim to know the place thoroughly. There could not possibly be any treasure.
"Well..."
Ning Fengzhi froze slightly. Could Li Tianyuan be deceiving him?
Or had Old Poison gotten it wrong?
"Mr. Li, could you have come to the wrong place?"
Ning Fengzhi turned to Li Tianyuan and asked.
"There is no mistake. The immortal herb is nearby!"
"Just let me look for it!"
Li Tianyuan waved a hand, signaling Ning Fengzhi not to disturb him.
Then he released the Heavenly Mystery Disc and infused it with soul power. The Heavenly Mystery Disc spun rapidly.
It pointed the way!
Li Tianyuan advanced with the Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams Steps, his figure shifting countless times in an instant.
Two seconds later, he came to a stop before an immortal herb.
Its stems and tendrils intertwined, and a brilliant golden Tulip bloomed at its tip. It was dazzlingly beautiful, like a flower forged from gold!
It gave off a rich medicinal fragrance!
"An immortal herb, without a doubt!"
Li Tianyuan looked at the immortal herb and spoke with a faint smile.
"I found it!"
Li Tianyuan looked back and saw that Ning Fengzhi and the others were still in the distance, looking his way.
Upon hearing him, they all rushed over.
It took a little while before they reached him.
"Mr. Li, what soul skill did you just use?"
"How did you appear and disappear like a ghost?"
Ning Fengzhi came before Li Tianyuan and asked with a rather respectful expression.
Just now, he had seen Li Tianyuan vanish abruptly and appear somewhere else in the next second. He found it utterly inconceivable.
"It is my self-created soul skill!"
Li Tianyuan replied.
At those words, the expressions of Sword Douluo, Bone Douluo, and Dugu Bo all shifted.
All three were Titled Douluos with exceptionally keen eyes.
They could tell that Li Tianyuan's speed just now had been fast beyond belief!
It gave them the feeling that if they became Li Tianyuan's enemies, his speed alone would let him kill them in an instant.
"Mr. Li's self-created soul skill truly is formidable!"
Ning Fengzhi could not help praising him.
Li Tianyuan smiled and pointed at the immortal herb. "Sect Master Ning, this is the immortal herb I spoke of, the Aromatic Silk Beauty. After taking this herb, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda will evolve into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda!"
Looking at the immortal herb before him, Ning Fengzhi said in delighted astonishment, "Is that really true?"
"Sect Master Ning, why would I deceive you?"
Li Tianyuan shook his head gently.
Hearing this, Ning Fengzhi said to Ning Rongrong, "Rongrong, you heard what Mr. Li said. Pick this flower and take it directly!"
Although he was somewhat worried, he had no choice but to do this for the future of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Ning Rongrong nodded gently at his words. "All right!"
As she spoke, she walked toward the Aromatic Silk Beauty.
Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo watched with their full attention, afraid that something might happen to Ning Rongrong.
Dugu Bo, on the other hand, looked rather curious. He had already heard what these people intended to do.
They actually wanted to consume a flower to upgrade the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda?
That was simply absurd!
Still, he did not intend to interrupt. Instead, he wanted to see what would happen.
Would this so-called immortal herb actually work?
If it truly had such miraculous effects, then this place was a rare treasure trove!
It would surely yield considerable rewards in the future.
"Mr. Li, how should I take this flower?"
Ning Rongrong was now standing beside the Aromatic Silk Beauty. Resting her small hand on its petals, she looked at Li Tianyuan and asked.
"Simply pick it and consume it."
"This flower is compatible with your martial soul. You will be fine!"
Li Tianyuan said.
