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

Chapter 96 To take something, you must first give something.

"I……"

Faced with the hypothesis proposed by Ke Lin, Dugu Bo fell silent.

Because of the long-term torment caused by the poison of his martial soul, he became aloof and disliked contact with others.

It is precisely for this reason that Dugu Bo did not choose to join any faction and has been cultivating alone until now.

He had never thought of Ke Lin's solution of using soul bones to solve the poisoning problem.

Judging from what Ke Lin said, the method of using soul bones to solve the poison of the martial soul seems to be an open training method within the Martial Soul Hall.

At this moment, Dugu Bo was filled with regret, wondering why he couldn't have joined a faction sooner.

If he had known the solution sooner, he wouldn't have had to suffer from the toxin problem for so long.

"Alright, Senior Dugu Bo, there's no need to worry about this. Now that you've decided to join our Spirit Hall..."

These will never be a problem again.

As he spoke, Qin Ming ran his hand across the storage ring, and a lead box appeared in his hand.

This is the 20,000-year-old earth-attribute left leg bone that Qin Ming snatched from the Haotian Sect last time.

At this moment, seeing Qin Ming's actions, everyone in the room fell silent again.

Dugu Bo swallowed hard; he already had a vague idea of ​​what was inside the lead box.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Qin Ming opened the lead box in his hand and handed it to Dugu Xin.

"Ah Xin, take this. This left leg soul bone should be able to solve your problem."

Looking at the soul bone shimmering with an earthy yellow light in front of him, Dugu Xin subconsciously refused.

"My lord, you must not!"

This soul bone is far too precious. I am but a cripple, unworthy to possess such a treasure.

Upon hearing this, Qin Ming shook his head.

"A useless person?"

Dugu Xin, don't underestimate yourself.

You are only twenty-five years old, yet you already possess the cultivation of a Soul King.

With talent like yours, you'd be considered a genius in any Soul Master Academy.

With that, Qin Ming put down the lead box in his hand.

After taking out the 2-year-old left leg soul bone from the box, Qin Ming directly stuffed it into Dugu Xin's hand.

"It is precisely because you have cultivated to a high level that you have been eroded by the poison of the martial spirit."

I haven't experienced the pain of this toxin's erosion, but I can guess what it's like from your current state.

The fact that you could remain silent while experiencing pain that most people would find unbearable demonstrates your extraordinary willpower.

The fact that you were able to maintain your integrity in the face of the temptation of a ten-thousand-year-old soul bone shows that you are a person of good character.

Your talent, willpower, and character are all exceptional; someone like you is rare on the entire continent.

Qin Ming paused at this point.

After putting on a smile again, Qin Ming extended a sincere invitation.

"Dugu Xin, join our Spirit Hall."

Consider this ancient bone a investment in your future!

Upon hearing Qin Ming's words, Dugu Xin stood there stunned.

Holding the soul bone in his hand, Dugu Xin opened his mouth, but for a moment he didn't know what to say.

Seeing this, Dugu Bo immediately reached out and pressed down on Dugu Xin.

"Ah Xin, grant this official's request."

As he spoke, Dugu Bo looked at Qin Ming again and clasped his hands in a fist salute to him.

"Your Highness, my son and I are both willing to join the Spirit Hall."

Looking at his father in front of him, Dugu Xin finally reacted.

After struggling to sit up from his sickbed, Dugu Xin also clasped his hands in a salute to Qin Ming.

Seeing this, Qin Ming quickly stepped forward and helped the two up.

"You two need not stand on ceremony. In private, you need not address me as Your Highness."

Just call me Qin Ming, like Elder Yueguan and the others.

As he spoke, Qin Ming reached out and patted Dugu Xin on the shoulder.

"Xin, absorb the soul bone first and solve your poisoning problem first."

Dugu Bo also looked at Dugu Xin and hurriedly urged him.

"Ah Xin, hurry up and absorb the soul bone."

That way you won't have to suffer from the toxins anymore.

Faced with Qin Ming and Dugu Bo's urging, Dugu Xin shook his head and handed the soul bone in his hand to Dugu Bo.

"Father, I cannot absorb this soul bone!"

"Xin, what are you saying?"

Dugu Bo frowned.

"Your health problems are very serious. This soul bone could save your life, yet you want to give it to me?"

At this moment, Yue Guan and the others also looked over.

They didn't understand why Dugu Xin would hand over the soul bone to Dugu Bo at this time.

Only Qin Ming and Ke Lin vaguely guessed something.

Qin Ming stepped back a few steps, leaving space for Dugu Bo and his son, and the room fell silent.

Only Dugu Bo and his son are facing off.

The next moment, Dugu Xin's voice broke the silence.

"Father, I heard what Bishop Kelin said just now. You and I are both suffering from the erosion of the Martial Soul Poison, aren't we?"

The toxins in our bodies all come from the same source.

When the poison flared up, I imagine you, Father, were also suffering the same pain.

The toxicity of this toxin increases as soul power increases.

You now have level 86 soul power, so your condition must be worse than mine.

The pain you endured must have far surpassed that of me.

But you didn't show any emotion at all.

Only I, like a coward, couldn't even endure the slightest pain of erosion...

As he spoke, tears welled up in Dugu Xin's eyes.

"My mother died in childbirth on the day I was born. For so many years, you have been the one who raised me."

When I was suffering from the poison of my martial spirit, you always stayed by my side to take care of me.

You always told me, "Just hang in there, it'll be over soon."

You must have been feeling really bad back then...

Your son is unfilial; for so long, I have failed to realize that you are enduring the same pain as me.

I only realized this when that bishop mentioned it…

As he spoke, Dugu Xin wiped away the tears in his eyes and pushed the soul bone in his hand again.

"Father, I know my body well, I can hold on for a few more years."

But what about you?

Your situation is much worse than mine now; how long can you hold on?

"I……"

Dugu Bo was also somewhat moved by Dugu Xin's heartfelt expression.

"I have my own soul bone, and its quality is even higher than yours, so you don't need to worry about me."

"That piece of yours is a head bone; forcing the poison into that area is still too dangerous."

As he spoke, Dugu Xin's face showed determination.

"I lost my mother at birth, and I don't want to lose my father too."

"you……"

Seeing that Dugu Xin refused to accept the soul bone, Dugu Bo was completely at a loss as to what to do.

Upon seeing this, Qin Ming coughed lightly.

After drawing everyone's attention back, Qin Ming slowly began to speak.

"Stop arguing, all of you. The matter of the soul bone is easy to handle; you don't need to worry about it!"

As he spoke, Qin Ming took out a lead box from his storage ring again.
