Douluo Continent: Ice Phoenix Rebuilds Her Skills and Enrolls in Tianshui Academy

Chapter 39 Don't get carried away, Old Deng!

A treasure trove lies before us!

If it weren't for Chu Han saving Dugu Bo's life!

Even Dugu Bo was tempted!

Dugu Bo finally managed to calm himself down, and after a moment of contemplation, he said:

"Actually, the total amount of these pills you have isn't that much. They seem like a lot now that they're spread out on the ground, but if you were to sell them to Soul Masters, it wouldn't even be enough for every Soul Master in Heaven Dou City to have a bottle."

"Upon closer inspection, it's actually just right."

"In my opinion, instead of being cautious, we should be making a big show of it!"

Dugu Bo spoke with great certainty.

This piqued Chu Han's interest.

"Oh, making a big fuss about it?"

"Yes, it's all about making a big fuss!"

Dugu Bo laughed heartily: "If we don't make a big fuss, how can we drive up the price of this medicine and then rip off those sects?"

"Young friend, wealth is certainly tempting, but as long as there is the corresponding power to protect it, there is a great deal of room for manipulation!"

"We can totally use this pill to make a name for ourselves and make friends!"

Dugu Bo chuckled and said, "This is truly a high-quality product. Let me help you sell it; I won't take a single penny of the profit—it'll all be yours. What do you say?"

Chu Han refused outright.

"How can that be? I'll give you twenty percent..."

"I said I don't need it, and that means I don't need it!" Dugu Bo showed displeasure for the first time. "Do you look down on me, thinking I would covet such a small amount of gold and silver?"

"After becoming a Title Douluo, money is just an external thing to me. I have no interest in wealth and glory in this life; I only want to devote my life to studying the art of poison!"

"This is the most gratifying thing in my life!"

As Poison Douluo spoke, he suddenly became somewhat interested.

Seeing that he opened his mouth as if to say something, but seemed hesitant to speak, Chu Han took the initiative to ask:

"Senior Dugu, is there something you wish to say? Please speak freely!"

Dugu Bo blushed; he was not greedy for money.

But there was one thing that really bothered him.

That is to say, Chu Han's pills are so miraculous that one wonders what method they were made of. If he can make such a universal antidote, then making poison pills would definitely be no problem for him as well.

He really wanted to learn more about the relevant information.

However, Dugu Bo knew that this was definitely Chu Han's ultimate skill. If their strength were equal, he could shamelessly ask for it, but as a Title Douluo, asking for it would inevitably carry a hint of making things difficult for others.

"Nothing much, I'm just curious about alchemy..."

"Heh, if you're interested, I can teach you."

Dugu Bo stared at Chu Han in astonishment.

These days, everyone, regardless of who they are, cherishes their own possessions.

A young boy, with a nonchalant smile on his face, casually said, "I'll teach you, won't I?"

This feeling made Dugu Bo's heart clench.

So impressed by the boy's open-mindedness that he remained stunned for a long time.

"Progress comes from communication. It's just a little alchemy. Since you're interested, Senior Dugu, I'll teach you everything."

"Alchemy is by no means easy. I have only introduced you to the basics. You will have to explore it yourself, Senior Dugu. It is a pity that you still have Miss Yan Yan's martial soul poison, which is to put it bluntly, a kind of martial soul defect."

"The art of alchemy can cleanse the marrow and refine the body, recreating one's innate nature. If we had the aid of immortal herbs, I could certainly help you perfect your martial soul's flaws, or even achieve its evolution. It's just a pity that even a skilled cook can't make a meal without rice..."

Dugu Bo didn't really understand the concepts of marrow cleansing and hair removal, or regenerating one's innate constitution.

However, he understood the words "immortal herb".

"Young friend! That's easy! By sheer chance, I discovered a treasure trove in the Sunset Forest, a sacred place for herbs, blessed with the finest qualities of heaven and earth!"

"It's a pity I wasn't destined to be there; the poison was too strong for me to penetrate deeply, and I also don't understand the many herbs inside. Now that I think about it, wasn't this prepared especially for you, young friend?"

Dugu Bo was deeply moved by Chu Han's words.

He's getting old, and he's become more cunning.

When have I ever met such a pure-hearted boy?

Even Dugu Bo felt ashamed of himself. He was so old, a titled Douluo, yet he was not as open-minded and pure-hearted as a young man.

His impression of Chu Han was that he was not only handsome like a banished immortal, but also had a consistent inner and outer beauty, truly possessing a divine and outstanding appearance.

Therefore, as soon as Chu Han raised his concerns, Dugu Bo couldn't wait to help him solve them, and even felt an extreme sense of joy.

The feeling can be described as, "I can finally help him!"

It's a bit like the mindset of a simp, but Dugu Bo is completely willing to do it, to the point that he doesn't even realize he's become a simp.

Chu Han was slightly taken aback, and said with shame:

"This treasure land was discovered by you, Senior Dugu. If I were to use it, and someone else were to surpass me, wouldn't that be an unjust act?"

Dugu Bo became anxious.

Oh dear, Chu Han is good in every way, except that he has a bit too much of a moral compass.

A life-saving grace is greater than heaven, especially since he said it willingly and voluntarily.

Dugu Bo retorted:

"What are you saying, young friend! Putting aside your generosity in saving my life and Yan Yan's, that sacred place is useless to me, as I neither can approach it nor know how to use it."

"What kind of man acts like this, all fussy and indecisive!"

"It's settled then! Once you have some free time, I'll take you to that auspicious place immediately!"

"You can do whatever you want with those herbs inside!"

A hint of emotion appeared in Chu Han's eyes.

He wasn't faking it; he was genuinely moved.

Although he was the one who saved Dugu Bo's life, Dugu Bo's honesty and complete trust in Chu Han truly moved him.

"Alright! Then I'll gladly accept your offer!"

Chu Han's voice suddenly became somewhat solemn.

"Senior Dugu! I will certainly not let you down. I will also resolve the issue of Miss Dugu Yan's martial soul defect!"

"Furthermore, in the future, whatever benefits I, Chu Han, receive, even a small share, I will not forget you and Miss Yan Yan!"

Dugu Bo is indeed a very good friend.

Chu Han felt that this kind of person was worth getting to know better and could be brought into his inner circle.

That old man is truly loyal.

He'll give you anything if you want something, and he'll really step up when something happens!

Having traversed the continent for decades and met countless people, Dugu Bo was naturally able to discern truth from falsehood.

"You little rascal, you're really straightforward and don't dawdle. Your character and personality are just my type!"

"In my opinion, why don't we become sworn brothers?"

Chu Han:? ? ?

No, don't get carried away, Lao Deng. I'm just saying that there's something about me that attracted you, and I'll change it, okay?
