Douluo Continent: Cultivating Qi and Immortals, Insidious to the Extreme

"What?! I'll make it myself? I don't know how to do anything, how am I supposed to?"

Dugu Bo stared intently at Jiang Xia, almost bursting into a tirade.

Jiang Xia nodded seriously.

"That's right, you do it yourself."

"I will teach you how to draw those four runes, and then I will teach you how to integrate these two immortal herbs into your elixir. The rest is up to you."

"After all, I'm only level 17 now, how could I possibly help you refine a soul tool at the Title Douluo level?"

What Jiang Xia gave to Dugu Bo was the method for refining his natal magic weapon.

In the world of cultivation, simply finding materials that are compatible with oneself requires a great deal of time and effort.

However, in the Douluo Continent, martial spirits, soul bones, and even Dugu Bo's elixir pearl are the best refining materials, without exception.

Dugu Bo took a deep breath, his gaze fixed on Jiang Xia.

"You're not kidding me?"

Jiang Xia shrugged: "Obviously, there's no joke about it."

"Once you learn how to make this magical artifact, the problem of the Jade Phosphorous Snake Venom that plagues your Dugu family will naturally be solved."

"And also, weren't you planning to protect the Broken Clan?"

"Perfect, let's bring them into your Dugu family's camp and establish a sect directly."

"It is called the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect, which gathers poison-attribute beast spirit masters from all over the world who are suffering from toxins."

"The main lineage is led by the Jade Phosphorus Serpent of your Dugu family, who are renowned for their 'poison'. They use your Myriad Poison Pearl as the sect leader's token to suppress the sect's fortune, and Yanzi as the sect's holy maiden to succeed the next generation."

"The branch is led by the Po clan, which uses 'medicine' as its name and the Soul-Breaking Spear as its martial spirit to overcome all obstacles."

"With you, Dugu Bo, a titled Douluo, providing protection, and the Po clan handling the trivial matters, the two will complement each other and surely become famous throughout the world."

"I've also decided on the sect's location. Sunset Forest will be the core of the sect, and the valley fifty miles away will be the outer perimeter."

"Then, step by step, we will transform Sunset Forest until it becomes a paradise for poisonous creatures and a dead end for other Soul Masters and Soul Beasts."

"In this way, your Dugu family will instantly become a behemoth second only to the three upper sects. The Spirit Hall will have to think twice before trying to touch you again."

Dugu Bo stared at Jiang Xia in disbelief: "Are you serious?"

Jiang Xia shrugged: "What else?"

"Didn't you ask me to help you settle the Broken Clan a while ago? You're not satisfied with the way you did it?"

Dugu Bo was a little confused and nodded, his head spinning.

"I'm satisfied, but I never imagined you'd go this far."

Jiang Xia rolled her eyes at him: "If you're not going to play big, you might as well not play at all."

"Anyway, you were the one who promised the Broken Clan, and I've given you the resettlement plan. Whether you use it or not is up to you."

"At least in my opinion, sticking together is much better than going it alone. I know you're used to being free and easy, but you're not alone now. You need to think about the growing number of people around you."

As the saying goes, "A hero needs three helpers."

"Putting everything else aside, if you, Old Poison Master, had a powerful force behind you, your problem with the Jade Phosphorus Serpent Venom would probably have been solved long ago."

"Don't underestimate those ordinary soul masters. Among the masses, in order to survive, they often unleash amazing wisdom. When they unite, they become a tremendous force."

"That's all I have to say. Old poisoner, you can think about it yourself."

Dugu Bo pondered for a moment: "Alright, let's do as you say and establish the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect."

"But don't even think about running away, kid. You came up with the idea, so you have to join the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect."

Jiang Xia smiled slightly and said, "Of course, it doesn't matter where you cultivate. With you here, Old Poison Master, I feel more at ease cultivating."

"I have joined the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect."

Dugu Bo glanced at Jiang Xia with a puzzled look, feeling as if he were being pushed around.

I have a feeling that Jiang Xia deliberately brought this to the fore.

Jiang Xia remained calm. What bad intentions could he possibly have? He simply wanted to have dinner at the table in this unpredictable future.

In the future, the two gods of the Spirit Hall will soar through the sky, overwhelming the continent, and the original plot will be thrown into chaos by his intrusion.

If you don't make some preparations in advance, the future will be tough.

Unable to discern anything from Jiang Xia's face, Dugu Bo could only dismiss his doubts, concluding that he had been overthinking things.

"Xiao Jiang, there's something I need to make clear to you: the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect doesn't belong to me, it belongs to you."

"You haven't grown up yet. I will be the first sect leader, and you must be the second sect leader."

Jiang Xia was taken aback: "Old Poisoner, are you still asleep?"

"The Ten Thousand Poisons Sect, the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect, a sect that uses poison as its means, what kind of sect leader do I have?"

"Besides, I'm very busy. If I join the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect, I can't possibly become its leader."

"Let Yan Yan take the role; she's very suitable."

Dugu Yan gave Jiang Xia a deep look: "Fine, if Jiang Xia wants me to be it, then I'll be it."

"I will lead the way in the future, and Jiang Xia can do whatever he wants."

Jiang Xia looked embarrassed: "Uh, Yanzi, it's not like that. I just don't want to meddle in other people's business. It's not that I want to be a kept man."

Dugu Yan chuckled and said, "But I want Jiang Xia to be a kept man."

Jiang Xia's face darkened. He opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a single word.

Admittedly, Jiang Xia's original intention was not to be a kept man.

But this young lady has so sincerely invited you to be her gigolo, and she's even openly feeding you. How can you just refuse?

Fine, fine, I'll just have to accept it reluctantly...

Seeing Jiang Xia's tacit agreement, Dugu Yan narrowed her eyes, tilted her head, and looked at him with a smile.

It seems that letting Jiang Xia live off her is a pleasant thing.

Looking at his granddaughter's expression, Dugu Bo knew it was too late to say anything.

Even if Jiang Xia were to step down now, after his death, Jiang Xia would definitely give way to Dugu Yan.

Moreover, Dugu Yan would not refuse.

Forget it, children and grandchildren have their own lives to live, I'm too lazy to meddle in those other people's business.

As for who holds the position of sect leader, in his view, why should it be so clear?

Having figured this out, Dugu Bo felt instantly pleased.

"By the way, Xiao Jiang, you shared all your pills with us, what about yours?"

"Oh, of course I have one too."

Jiang Xia took out a porcelain bottle from his storage soul tool.

"This is a pill made from two kinds of immortal herbs, namely, Qirong Tongtianju and Shuixian Yujigu, and it is called Liuli Yugu Pill."

"It's in no way inferior to your Primordial Qi Pill. The difference is that yours enhances soul power, while mine strengthens the physical body."

As he spoke, Jiang Xia pointed to his brow, and a faint light flashed from the purple lightning mark.

"You know, my problem is special; I need to constantly strengthen my physical body."

Dugu Bo nodded: "Okay, that's good."

"Besides that, there's something else I'd like to discuss with you."

"Go ahead," Jiang Xia said, putting away the pill.

"That's right. Last time I went to the Po clan, I found that their clan leader, Yang Wudi, was already level 78."

"But he seems to be injured, which has even seriously affected his cultivation."

"Here's what I'm thinking: since we've decided to recruit him to establish a sect, should we help him heal his injuries?"

"This way, his strength will also increase, and it will be a great honor for our sect if he can cultivate to the Soul Douluo level sooner."

"Otherwise, if I, a Title Douluo, have to handle everything, wouldn't it make our sect seem like it lacks foundation?"
