Douluo Continent: Reborn as Qin Ming, starting by joining the Spirit Hall

Chapter 22 Concerns

Watching Bibi Dong's retreating figure, Qin Ming's smile faded, his eyes narrowed, and he began to silently plot.

Compared to Liu Erlong, Bibi Dong's obsession with Yu Xiaogang was actually deeper.

Liu Erlong was simply jilted at marriage; she was simply someone who couldn't have the love she desired.

Her obsession with Yu Xiaogang is likely more due to a psychological phenomenon of "loss aversion".

Bibi Dong's situation was even more tragic. She was forced by Qian Xunji, separated from her beloved, and even became pregnant with her enemy's child.

During this period, Yu Xiaogang also changed from being her initial ideal woman to becoming the last glimmer of hope illuminating her bleak life.

By threatening Bibi Dong with Yu Xiaogang, I essentially squeezed her last hope into my hands.

It seems that I have the upper hand at the moment.

However, judging from Bibi Dong's personality...

Given the chance, she would likely kill me without regard for the consequences.

Furthermore, given what happened today, Bibi Dong will certainly not let Yue Guan and Gui Mei off the hook once she gains power...

Even Bishop Corinth, far away in Soto, might be implicated by me.

Thinking of this, Qin Ming's mood became even heavier.

"Whether for my own sake or for the growing number of people standing behind me, I must seize the time to cultivate myself!"

Besides, I've only been in this world for a little over a month.

Having not experienced many battles, I only possess soul power; my actual combat ability is not strong.

Therefore, I also need to improve my combat experience.

Just as Qin Ming was lost in thought, Yue Guan patted him on the shoulder.

"Qin Ming, are you worried that Her Highness the Holy Maiden will take revenge on you later?"

Don't worry, with me and Old Ghost watching over things, nothing will go wrong.

Upon hearing this, Qin Ming turned to look at Yue Guan.

Yue Guan also activated his martial spirit at the opportune moment, displaying his title-level aura.

Upon seeing this, Qin Ming clasped his hands in a fist and smiled.

"Then I'll have to trouble Elder Yueguan to take care of it."

"It's alright. In the Spirit Hall now, it's not Bibi Dong's place to speak."

Qin Ming was slightly surprised to hear Yue Guan's domineering statement.

However, Qin Ming's tense mood eased a little.

"I will soon obtain two high-quality soul bones, after which I will complete the absorption."

My soul power level should see a significant increase.

Moreover, Bibi Dong has not yet gained momentum, so there is still time for everything.

Furthermore, I should have a relatively comfortable year ahead of me.

After all, because she is pregnant with Qian Renxue, Bibi Dong will most likely be under close surveillance for the next year.

I need to take advantage of this relatively free time to maximize my skills.

Thinking of this, Qin Ming began to ponder the opportunities mentioned in the original work.

"With my current weak strength, I certainly can't expect to inherit several divine legacies."

At this point in time, the only opportunities I can try to obtain are the Blue Silver Emperor and the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye.

The Blue Silver Emperor is relatively easy to deal with; she most likely came from the Blue Silver Forest.

Tang Hao went down the mountain to train this year, and he and Tang Xiao will meet the Blue Silver Emperor next year.

Given Tang Hao's temperament, he would certainly not try to hide his activities while traveling across the continent.

It's not difficult to find out their route.

Following the Blue Silver Forest and Tang Hao's line of thought backwards.

We should be able to deduce the approximate area where they met, and then we can come up with an excuse to take the teacher there...

Thinking about this, Qin Ming stroked his chin, already having a general plan in mind.

However, Qin Ming felt troubled again when he thought about the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire.

Compared to the Blue Silver Emperor, the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well is what really gives me a headache.

The Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye is located in the heart of Sunset Forest, and it's practically impossible for me to venture deep into it alone.

Furthermore, it is also uncertain when Dugu Bo found the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire.

In addition, although it is not explicitly stated in the original work.

However, regarding the origin of Dugu Bo's head bone.

Many people speculate that Dugu Bo obtained it by killing the soul beast guarding the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well when he was in the eighth or ninth ring.

Whether this speculation is true or false is currently unclear.

I cannot act rashly...

Moreover, at this point in time, the higher-ups of the Spirit Hall must not be allowed to know about the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

Otherwise, based solely on the Thousand Blade Snow inside Bibi Dong's belly, Bibi Dong could have taken at least one or two immortal herbs.

I absolutely cannot do anything that aids the enemy.

Moreover, having already decided to pursue the fire attribute path, the most suitable immortal herb for me is definitely the extremely yang Phoenix Sunflower.

However, this immortal herb is also suitable for Qian Xunji, who possesses the angelic martial soul.

If I really did enter the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well with the help of the Spirit Hall.

When it comes to distributing the final immortal herbs, the situation is really hard to predict.

Therefore, I still need to figure out another way to enter the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire…

Thinking of this, Qin Ming looked up at Yueguan, which was not far away.

There was a conflict between Dugu Bo, the first owner of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye, and Yue Guan.

Although the exact reason is unclear, obtaining some information about Dugu Bo from him shouldn't be difficult.

With this in mind, Qin Ming made a decision and looked at Yue Guan, asking him a question.

"Elder Yueguan, do you know of any Soul Masters on the continent who specialize in using poison?"

"A Soul Master who specializes in using poison?"

Yue Guan was somewhat puzzled by Qin Ming's question. He didn't know why Qin Ming would suddenly ask such a question, but Yue Guan still answered.

"I do know two Soul Masters who specialize in using poison."

One of them is Elder Thornblood from our Spirit Hall, whom I don't know well.

If you wish to make contact with Qin Ming, you can seek His Holiness the Pope's help.

The other person is called Dugu Bo, and he is also quite powerful.

Currently at the level of a Soul Douluo, he seems to be living in the Heaven Dou City area.

Our Spirit Hall has recently been considering recruiting him.

Upon hearing Yue Guan's words, Qin Ming immediately highlighted the key points.

Dugu Bo has not yet made enemies with the Spirit Hall.

In addition, Dugu Bo has only reached the Contra level at present.

That's right, there was a sentence mentioned in the original work.

After breaking through to the Title Douluo level, Dugu Bo was stuck at the bottleneck of level 91 for ten years.

It's understandable that he only has around level 80 in soul power right now.

Moreover, Dugu Bo's son should still be alive.

I might try to make contact with them after some time.

Thinking of this, Qin Ming looked at Yue Guan again and said.

"Elder Yue Guan, when you're recruiting that Soul Douluo, could you take me with you to see him?"

I'm somewhat interested in poison-related properties.

"Interested in poison?"

Yue Guan muttered to himself, while pondering in his mind.

This is probably just Qin Ming's excuse.

Bibi Dong's martial soul is inherently poisonous.

Qin Ming was probably worried that Bibi Dong would use deadly poison to harm him, which is why he wanted to contact Dugu Bo.

Thinking of this, Yue Guan nodded in agreement.

"Sure, Qin Ming, I'll take you with me then."

However, recruiting Dugu Bo is not in a hurry for now.

"Our Spirit Hall has more important things to do right now..."
