"Your Holiness the Pope, is what you said true?"

He had originally been prepared to resist unto death.

But when he heard Qian Xunji say that he could actually resolve the Emerald Phosphor Poison afflicting the Jade Phosphorus Clan,

Dugu Bo's expression changed abruptly. He instantly switched sides, turned, and strode quickly toward Qian Xunji, asking eagerly.

Although the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was important,

its greatest importance to him lay in its ability to suppress the Emerald Phosphor Poison in his body.

But suppression was ultimately only suppression.

If it could be cured, who would not want it cured?

And if it were only himself, that would be one thing.

The key was that he also had a son, Dugu Xin, who was currently suffering from the Emerald Phosphor Poison.

To resolve the Emerald Phosphor Poison that had plagued their Jade Phosphorus Clan for so long,

Dugu Bo was willing to slap himself in the face and choose to join Spirit Hall.

Because of Qian Xunji's status as the Spirit Hall Pope,

Dugu Bo did not doubt in the slightest that he was being deceived.

The dignified Spirit Hall Pope had absolutely no need to deceive him!

Seeing the contrast in Dugu Bo's behavior before and after, a satisfied smile appeared on Qian Xunji's extraordinarily handsome face, with its sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes. He found it immensely entertaining.

Showing off really did feel great!

Sure enough! As long as he seized someone's weak point,

even Dugu Bo, who would rather die than submit, would still end up eating his words before him!

Eating one's words was humanity's foremost eternal law!

Now that he had transmigrated into Qian Xunji, the Spirit Hall Pope, whose talent, background, and strength were all top-tier,

if he did not find ways to entertain himself, how boring would life be?

"Of course!"

Qian Xunji raised an eyebrow and replied with an unhurried smile.

"I have some understanding of your Jade Phosphorus Clan's situation as well."

"Your Jade Phosphorus Clan's inherited Martial Soul is the famed Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul, renowned for its poison."

"Because the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul's poison is too potent, every time you undergo Martial Soul Possession, Emerald Phosphor Poison remains in your bodies."

"Over time, it forms the life-threatening hereditary condition within your clan—the Emerald Phosphor Poison!"

"Actually, in my view, the method for resolving your Emerald Phosphor Poison is quite simple."

But at this point, Qian Xunji paused, smiling as he looked at Dugu Bo.

At that moment, Dugu Bo was staring at Qian Xunji with an eager, yearning expression.

When he noticed Qian Xunji suddenly stop speaking and look at him with a smile,

Dugu Bo was first stunned, but then immediately understood.

He gritted his teeth and dropped to one knee before Qian Xunji, swearing,

"As long as Your Holiness the Pope tells me a method to resolve our Jade Phosphorus Clan's Emerald Phosphor Poison, and that method works,"

"I, Dugu Bo, am willing to lead the Jade Phosphorus Clan into Spirit Hall and await Your Holiness the Pope's commands from this day onward!"

"Good! Excellent!"

"Mister Dugu, please rise quickly!"

"With Mister Dugu's aid, I'll be like a fish in water, like a tiger growing wings!"

After Dugu Bo swore his allegiance, Qian Xunji immediately beamed.

At that moment, it was as if he had been possessed by Liu Bei's charisma demon. He was incomparably enthusiastic, laughing heartily

as he stepped forward and helped Dugu Bo to his feet.

Dugu Bo had not expected Qian Xunji to suddenly treat him with such courtesy and humility.

He was quite shocked as well.

There was no helping it!

As an ordinary Soul Douluo in the world of Soul Masters,

facing the famed Spirit Hall Pope Qian Xunji, who was treating him so enthusiastically and valuing him so highly, personally helping him to his feet,

and even saying that gaining him was like a fish taking to water and a tiger growing wings—

Who could withstand that?

At least, Dugu Bo's face flushed slightly with excitement as he thought somewhat smugly to himself.

Although the Spirit Hall Pope Qian Xunji had acted somewhat unreasonable and used his power to bully others earlier,

the world of Soul Masters was one where the strong preyed on the weak.

It was only natural that he was weaker than the other party.

But this Spirit Hall Pope actually valued him so highly. He did have good judgment!

Qian Xunji did not know what Dugu Bo was thinking.

But as a transmigrator,

since he had become Qian Xunji, the Spirit Hall Pope, and gained the life he had dreamed of in his previous life,

he naturally wanted to perform better than the original owner!

In every aspect!

At this moment, he was not fighting alone.

Countless outstanding heroes and great figures from Blue Star Huaxia in his previous life were walking alongside him!

On the Douluo Continent, where even Rob a Grain Route could become an ingenious strategy remembered for ages, this was undoubtedly a dimensionality-reducing strike!

In any case, merely by warmly and respectfully helping Dugu Bo to his feet,

then saying those words about being like a fish in water and a tiger growing wings,

Qian Xunji had more or less won over most of Dugu Bo's heart!

"Mister Dugu, the Emerald Phosphor Poison problem of your Jade Phosphorus Clan is actually very easy to resolve."

"At its root, the Emerald Phosphor Poison exists because your bodies, as Soul Masters, cannot bear the Emerald Phosphor Poison left within you after the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul possesses you."

"So as long as you find somewhere to store the Emerald Phosphor Poison in your bodies, won't that solve it?"

After helping Dugu Bo up, Qian Xunji directly revealed the answer. He smiled faintly and said,

Hearing this, Dugu Bo's pupils contracted, and his heart was filled with shock.

That's right! Wouldn't that solve it!

But there was nowhere in the human body to store the Emerald Phosphor Poison. Could it be by using—

After speaking, Qian Xunji did not wait for Dugu Bo to ask.

He took a Thousand-Year Gale Demon Wolf Left Arm Bone, which he had prepared in advance, from his Storage Soul Guidance Device and handed it to Dugu Bo.

"Mister Dugu, this is a thousand-year soul bone!"

"As long as you fuse with this Thousand-Year Gale Demon Wolf Left Arm Bone and force all the accumulated Emerald Phosphor Poison in your body into this soul bone, there should be no further problems in the future."

"Although this thousand-year soul bone's age is somewhat low,"

"Mister Dugu, you have only just joined Spirit Hall and have not rendered any merit."

"As the Pope, I cannot immediately reward you with a soul bone of a higher age."

"But although this Gale Demon Wolf soul bone is low in age, its soul skill is Demon Wolf Claw."

"Upon activating the soul skill, three sharp claws capable of cutting gold and shattering jade can extend from between the fingers of your left hand."

"If you force the Emerald Phosphor Poison into them, the effect it produces can be said to be astonishing. It is quite suitable for you, Mister Dugu."

Qian Xunji spoke slowly, a faint smile on his face.

"Your Holiness the Pope."

Looking at the Thousand-Year Gale Demon Wolf Left Arm Bone Qian Xunji was offering him, Dugu Bo was still somewhat dazed and found it hard to believe.

Though this soul bone was only thousand-year, soul bones were not the same as Soul Rings!

They were not something every Soul Master had the chance to possess.

A soul bone was equivalent to an additional ability for a Soul Master.

Even a thousand-year soul bone was exceedingly precious!

Qian Xunji said this thousand-year soul bone was low in age only because he was the Spirit Hall Pope.

Spirit Hall had a profound foundation and lacked no treasures!

But for ordinary Soul Master clans like theirs,

many Soul Master clans could be passed down for a thousand years without possessing even a single soul bone.

Much less gathering a full set of soul bones!

He had never expected the esteemed Spirit Hall Pope to bestow such a precious thousand-year soul bone upon him as soon as he submitted.

Dugu Bo felt incomparable trust, and his heart was filled with excitement.

He felt as though he would die for one who truly understood him!

"Dugu Bo pays respects to Your Holiness the Pope!"

A trace of reverence and solemnity appeared on Dugu Bo's sinister face as he once more dropped to one knee before Qian Xunji.

Lowering his head, he said in a deep voice,

"Wherever Your Holiness the Pope's sword points shall be the place where I, Dugu Bo, brave fire and water!"

Qian Xunji had not expected Dugu Bo to speak such words of loyalty, and he smiled in satisfaction.

He could not help feeling as though he were roleplaying the lord and generals or strategists from Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

He once again helped Dugu Bo up and laughed heartily as he said,

"I believe that Mister Dugu will surely become a sharp sword in my hand in the future. Once drawn, it will make the world take notice!"

At the side, Golden Crocodile Douluo, Azure Luan Douluo, and Mighty Lion Douluo exchanged glances as they listened to Qian Xunji and Dugu Bo's conversation. Their eyes were filled with speechlessness.

They could not understand why Qian Xunji valued a mere Soul Douluo like Dugu Bo so highly.

But seeing that Qian Xunji had gained Dugu Bo's wholehearted allegiance so quickly,

the Three Great Enshrinements all felt greatly gratified.

Big Brother, Ji'er really seemed different from before!

Regarding the hundred-year soul bone, everyone's reaction felt a bit excessive. But giving Dugu Bo a Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone directly also seemed too much. None of Spirit Hall's elders or enshrinements had a complete set of Ten Thousand Year Soul Bones, showing how rare they were. And its soul skill also had to be useful to Dugu Bo. All things considered, a thousand-year soul bone was more suitable.
