Douluo Continent has a system, but I don't want to use it.

Chapter 63 On the Road

"Haha, since you like it, old poisoner, I'll give you a bottle. Xiao Qiu doesn't like this stuff. It's all here with me." Fang Tian found Dugu Bo's fawning smile rather amusing. He casually took out a bottle and handed it to Dugu Bo.

Just now, Dugu Bo was being beaten down by the Soul Saint surnamed Tai but he didn't give in. Now, for a bottle of poison, he's here smiling obsequiously.

"Haha, thank you, Lao Gao!" Dugu Bo took the bottle and carefully put it into his storage belt.

"The big fight just now must have attracted some people's attention. We should go," Qiu Fengyan reminded him from the side.

"Yes, Lao Gao, let's hurry up and leave." Dugu Bo had just received the poison and his mind was instantly on the right track.

The three checked the surroundings and, finding no clues, quickly left the area.

The three stopped when they reached a small hill about ten kilometers away.

Fang Tian used his mental power to scan the surroundings and, after confirming that no one was around, turned to face Dugu Bo.

"Old Poisoner, when I asked you to forge the Goose Feather Blade, I said that when you handed it over to me, I would give you the 70,000-year-old Medusa head soul bone. Here you go." Fang Tian took out the soul bone from his storage ring and threw it to Dugu Bo.

Dugu Bo was overjoyed to see that Fang Tian had given him the Medusa head soul bone.

Dugu Bo originally thought Fang Tian was just talking, after all, even a fool would know that the value of the soul bone was much greater than that goose feather knife.

Moreover, Fang Tian himself provided a rare metal—Wind and Cloud Light Gold. So Dugu Bo himself paid even less, only the cost of other metals and the wages of the master craftsman.

It only costs 200,000 gold soul coins in total, while a single head soul bone would cost at least tens of millions.

"Well... I'm ashamed to say that I didn't have time to buy the special metal you asked me to. At the time, those two Soul Saints were constantly entangled with me, so I just ran away with the Goose Feather Blade," Dugu Bo said apologetically.

"Haha, it's alright. Saving the goose feather sword is the greatest achievement. As for the special metal, we can buy it later."

"I'm speechless, Lao Gao. Although you nominally took me under your wing, we've always treated each other as equals. Now you've even given me one Blood River treasure after another—Soul Bones. From now on, I'm ready to risk my life for you. We'll go through fire and water together without batting an eye. If I break this oath, may my Martial Soul shatter and I die." Dugu Bo excitedly made another Martial Soul oath.

"Haha, don't worry, old poisoner. When I ask you to risk your life, I will definitely risk my life too. We will face any obstacles together in the future. If I break this oath, may Gao Lingfeng's martial soul be shattered and he die." Fang Tian followed the old poisoner's lead and accepted the oath.

"Good!" Dugu Bo felt a surge of emotion, as if he were ready to die for someone who understood him.

Dugu Bo may never have heard the saying that all the gifts of fate in the world have already been secretly marked with their value.

Of course, Fang Tian wasn't a completely evil person and wouldn't send Dugu Bo to his death. However, if any sect acts without any moral compass in the future, after Fang Tian deals with the higher-ups, Dugu Bo will be needed to clean up the mess.

Perhaps Dugu Bo never realized how vicious his actions were. After all, the destruction of entire sects was a common occurrence in the Douluo Continent.

Fang Tian didn't want to bear the consequences of this, so he tricked Dugu Bo into doing it. After all, it was much better than being tricked into massacring a city in the original story.

"Old Poisoner, are you planning to absorb the soul bone now, or take it back for your son?" Qiu Fengyan got goosebumps seeing the two men being so sentimental. She quickly changed the subject.

"A 70,000-year-old head spirit bone is probably the oldest spirit bone I've ever seen in my life. Let's leave it for Xiao Xin to absorb!" Dugu Bo said with a sigh.

"Who can predict what will happen in the future? Maybe you'll encounter an even better soul bone tomorrow." Fang Tian didn't agree with Dugu Bo's words.

The main reason is that it will take Dugu Xin several more years to absorb the ten-thousand-year soul ring, so giving him the soul bone now would be a waste.

"Yes, improving your combat strength is the most important thing right now," Qiu Fengyan chimed in from the side.

"I'll go back and think about it carefully before making a decision." Dugu Bo hesitated for a while, but finally decided to put it aside for now and talk about it when he got back.

"Well, it's best to make your own decisions," Fang Tian agreed.

"It's still not safe here, let's get out of here as soon as possible!" Qiu Fengyan changed the subject as soon as she saw the two of them starting to chat again.

"Yes. Xiao Qiu is right, let's hurry up and go!" Fang Tian agreed.

While resting in an inconspicuous small town, Fang Tian and Qiu Fengyan disguised themselves as people familiar to Dugu Bo.

The three of them traveled without stopping, and Dugu Bo's speed became a hindrance, but Dugu Bo was actually the most anxious.

Because the Soul Masters who died a couple of days ago will be discovered in a short time. And since the beginning of Gengxin City, Dugu Bo has been entangled with these two Soul Saints. If the Clear Sky Sect discovers that these two Soul Saints have disappeared, they will definitely look for Dugu Bo.

Dugu Bo is now anxious to find his son so that he can get him to a safe place.

"Old Poison Master, don't worry. It's common for two Soul Saints to be away for ten or fifteen days at a time, so it will take at least ten or fifteen days for them to be discovered. By the time they realize they're missing and start investigating, at least a month will have passed. At our current speed, we can reach Heaven Dou City in ten days at most," Fang Tian comforted Dugu Bo.

"Yes, I was too anxious. It's true that concern makes one lose their composure." Dugu Bo also realized his problem and began to try to adjust his state.

Ten days later, the three arrived at Tiandou City. When Dugu Bo returned home, he found everything calm and peaceful.

"Old Poisoner, have you decided where to send Xiao Xin?" Fang Tian asked.

"For now, I can only send him to an old friend's place to avoid trouble for a while," Dugu Bo said with some distress.

Dugu Bo has an eccentric personality and few friends. When he wants to ask for help, he feels at a loss.

"Why don't you send him to Notting City? An old friend of mine is the dean of students at the Soul Master Academy in that small city. It just so happens that Xiao Xin is of school age, so you can let him study there."

"My younger brother also goes to school there, and he's about the same age as Xiaoxin. He's quite talented too, so he'll keep Xiaoxin company. You can come along too, and keep an eye on them."

"That small town is located on the border between the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire. Usually, no powerful Soul Masters go there. As long as you disguise yourself, no one will recognize you. It's just that the small town is definitely not as prosperous as Heaven Dou City, which is a bit of a waste for you, Old Poison Master," Fang Tian offered his advice.

Fang Tian also had his own selfish motives, mainly because Dugu Bo could also take care of his younger brother while he was there.

"Old Gao, I'm escaping for my life right now, I don't care about prosperity or anything like that. As long as I can survive, that's all that matters. The Haotian Sect will definitely come after me, so getting away from them is the best thing to do. Thanks for providing this place, Brother Gao," Dugu Bo said gratefully.

"I also have a secret to tell you, a secret about me," Fang Tian suddenly whispered to Dugu Bo.
