" Kid Yu, I have a favor to ask of you..." Dugu Bo hesitated for a moment.
"Please speak freely, senior."
"The blood you gave me is enough to clear away the toxins from my body, but the flaw in my Martial Soul remains, and toxins will inevitably accumulate again in the future. I hope you..."
"I see. Don't worry, senior, I certainly won't be stingy."
Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo's expression relaxed. Seeing the purity in Ling Yu's eyes, he nodded in satisfaction, a thought forming in his mind, "This little guy has high cultivation talent, and I heard he's even working on Soul Tool, attracting significant investment from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and Heaven Dou. He's so grateful for this; he's bound to be a dragon among men, a powerful figure in the future, perhaps..."
When people are in a good mood, everything seems pleasing, especially those who have helped them. Dugu Bo was in this state at that moment.
" Kid Yu, would you be willing to become my disciple?"
Ling Yu was taken aback, somewhat surprised that he would bring up this idea.
"What, you think I'm not good enough for you?"
"How could that be, senior? It's just a surprise. With your status, if you just spread the word, the entire Heaven Dou City would be overflowing with people willing to be your disciple."
"And what about you? I don't just take on disciples casually; I only did so because I liked you."
"Master, please accept my bow." Seeing his resolute expression, Ling Yu was moved and immediately performed the apprenticeship ceremony.
"Good! Good! From now on, you are my disciple, Dugu Bo." Dugu Bo's usually arrogant eyes softened slightly as he helped Ling Yu up.
"Since you already have Treasure Wishful Purse for storing living things, I won't add anything unnecessary. You can come and take the herbs from this garden anytime; consider it a gift from your teacher."
"Thank you, teacher. However, much of it is useful to both you and Senior Sister Yanyan. Perhaps we can discuss it further after exchanging knowledge about Immortal Herb at the Yang Family."
These words made Dugu Bo even more satisfied with Ling Yu.
"Then let's wait a few days. I'll take you to the Star Luo Empire to search for traces of the Yang Family, and you can also broaden your horizons."
"I'll follow the teacher's instructions." Ling Yu nodded.
"By the way, teacher, Senior Sister's Martial Soul still has flaws. Why didn't you think of hunting dragon-type Soul Ring for her before to improve her Martial Soul bloodline?"
Dugu Bo lightly tapped Ling Yu's head and said, "Not everyone has such a miraculous Soul Skill as you. Your Spiritual Appraisal is the most bizarre Soul Skill I've ever seen in my life. It's already a stroke of luck that you haven't been captured by the Spirit Hall for so long. For a major power, this is equivalent to being able to equip their juniors with the most suitable Soul Ring. In the long run, this power will definitely far surpass other powers."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ling Yu had a strange expression on his face, but fortunately Dugu Bo was engrossed in teaching and didn't notice.
"Teacher, I'm sorry, I was captured by the Spirit Hall not long after I arrived in Heaven Dou." Ling Yu thought to himself.
"There are countless Soul Beast that humans don't recognize, not to mention that many Soul Beast' attributes cannot be discerned from their appearance. One can only rely on guessing, fighting, and even sacrificing lives to build them up. Information about Soul Beast identification is something that all major powers guard extremely closely, yet you destroyed their centuries-old foundation with a single Soul Skill."
"Don't tell anyone about this, okay?"
"As for dragons? Are dragon-type Soul Beast so easy to find? Although dragons are inherently lustful and there are many sub-dragon Soul Beast, many of them don't show any dragon blood in their appearance. Besides, you yourself said that mutation is a very dangerous thing."
"Unless there's some Dragon Blood Immortal Herb in the herb garden, then it might be worth a try."
"A magical Immortal Herb..." Ling Yu murmured, his expression shifting.
"Hmm? Did you find any Immortal Herb with dragon blood attributes?" Dugu Bo's expression was somewhat excited, recalling that he had let Ling Yu move around freely yesterday, and perhaps he had discovered some kind of Immortal Herb.
"Dragon blood... Actually, there are two large dragons down there. Let's talk about that later." A ripple of emotion stirred in Ling Yu's heart.
"No, I've heard of something. The Speed Clan, formerly part of the Clear Sky Sect, possesses a family heirloom, the Crystal Dragon Blood Ginseng. While it may not be as top-tier as the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well's immortal Immortal Herb, it's still a superb quality, not to mention its dragon blood attributes."
As soon as he finished speaking, Dugu Bo's expression turned strange. "Where did you get all this information? As far as I know, the Speed Clan has no offensive capabilities whatsoever. Even you know this, yet the family that possesses such exquisite items is still unscathed?"
"Do you think your Spiritual Appraisal can assess someone's treasure trove just based on their reputation?" Since being cured of the poison, Dugu Bo's mood has gradually become more lively, and he can even make joking remarks.
"Teacher, I don't want to lie, but this is indeed true."
Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo's expression was complicated, but he still nodded. "It seems we'll have to look for their base while we're at it, and see if we can make an exchange. Dragon Blood Ginseng would be a good way to make up for the deficiencies caused by Yanyan's innate poison."
"It's really my luck to have you as a subordinate; so many problems have been solved all at once."
"No, this disciple is only getting this Immortal Herb because of you. Otherwise, where would I get it?"
"No need to be so modest. Without you, I really wouldn't have had any other choice but to wait to die." A trace of lingering fear flashed in Dugu Bo's eyes.
"From now on, anyone who wants to harm you will have to ask for my permission first." He looked up at the sky, the withered aura of his past, afflicted by poison, was swept away, replaced by the domineering presence befitting Titled Douluo.
"Thank you for your kindness, Master. I have almost recovered. Why don't we continue to identify other herbs? What if one of them has dragon blood attributes?"
Dugu Bo nodded in satisfaction, and the two continued to identify and sort the herbs in the garden.
Several days later, Ling Yu looked at the compiled records and sighed, "There really aren't any medicinal herbs with dragon blood attributes. Is it because we arrived too late? So now these Immortal Herb are all immortal Immortal Herb with attributes caused by the environment, while the Immortal Herb nurtured by the flesh and blood of the two dragon gods have all died out in the past?"
"Teacher, now that I've finished tidying up, can I go back to school? I'm worried that Brother Xue and the others will have to wait too long."
"Okay, I'll take you back in a bit." After saying that, he took out a few books and pills from his Storage Soul Tool.
"This is one of my many years of knowledge about poisons. Although you don't use poison and are immune to all poisons, you should still be careful when traveling the world and learn some self-defense techniques."
"These are antidotes for the poison array outside. They can be reused. Once you're strong enough, you can come anytime you want. Let me show you the way in and out."
"Come with me to the Dugu Manor for dinner today, so you can familiarize yourself with the place. We can also talk to Yanyan about taking you as her apprentice. You can always come to the Dugu Manor to find me if you need anything in the future. If I'm not there, I'll leave a letter there."
Ling Yu sensed Dugu Bo's sincerity; he was truly dedicated. "Thank you, teacher. I won't let you down."
Dugu Bo nodded in satisfaction.
