From the Soul Motion Machine onwards, the Mechanized Douluo

Chapter 288 Xiao Wu: Invincible! Family members! Even more invincible than the Invincible Golden Body! [Votes!]

(You guys look so cool when you vote!)

Furthermore, due to the presence of the immortal herb, Qianjun Douluo and the others no longer displayed the same fervent enthusiasm as traditional soul masters towards the transformed soul beasts mentioned by Chen Hong.

Before meeting Chen Hong, Qianjun Douluo and the others might have coveted the 100,000-year soul ring and 100,000-year soul bone of the transformed soul beast. After all, those are the first or second most desired items among the ten most sought-after items by soul masters on the continent!

However, just like the many immortal herbs here, Qianjun Douluo and the others have also begun to learn the "old farmer" mentality. Simply plundering is the lowest level of approach. Qianjun Douluo and the others have now come into contact with a more advanced approach. Compared to directly hunting down that transformed soul master, Qianjun Douluo and the others feel that handing over the transformed soul beast to Chen Hong for research can actually yield benefits that surpass those of a 100,000-year soul ring and a 100,000-year soul bone.

Take the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Valley that Chen Hong has now taken over. At the latest, within a hundred years, the Spirit Hall will be able to continuously harvest immortal herbs of ten thousand years quality. Remember, it's continuous. After all, planting is the same as brewing wine. No one will drink a whole jar and then brew more, right? It's brewed year by year, reaching a certain age, and then harvesting every year.

The same principle applies to the immortal herbs in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye Valley. As long as you invest a hundred years in the early stages, you can just sit back and count your money afterwards.

Super Douluo like Qianjun Douluo have an average lifespan of around 500 years. Someone like Qian Daoliu might even live for 700 or 800 years (it's common for Title Douluo to live that long). Currently, among Title Douluo, only the gatekeeper Dugu Bo is barely 100 years old, making him a very young Title Douluo. However, whether Dugu Bo can even live to 150 is questionable.

However, with Chen Hong's help, Dugu Bo might be able to live a little longer. Otherwise, the promise that the Spirit Hall and others made to Dugu Bo (to give him a portion of the immortal herbs from the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well) would have to be fulfilled by Dugu Bo's granddaughter, Dugu Yan.

After realizing that the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well Valley could continuously produce immortal herbs for them, the Spirit Hall and others undoubtedly had a much better impression of Dugu Bo. Even though they gave Dugu Bo an immortal herb quota that was somewhat beyond his strength, Thousand Jun Douluo and the others tacitly accepted the deal.

It wasn't that they thought Dugu Bo was particularly good, but rather that they felt the value of Old Farmer Chen, even if they only gave them a small portion of it, far exceeded the value of Dugu Bo's immortal herbs. They honored the deal not because of Dugu Bo, but because they didn't want to expose their own moral depravity in front of the "noble" Old Farmer Chen.

So now, even though Qianjun Douluo and the others realized that as long as they were willing to put in the effort, they would definitely be able to find that transformed soul beast from Chen Laonong's simple social circle, they subconsciously forgot about this not-so-ideal idea.

As the saying goes, you reap what you sow. One magical herb from Old Farmer Chen can yield a whole field of magical herbs.

If Old Farmer Chen plants a transformed soul beast in the ground, even if a large group of transformed soul beasts don't grow out of it, its final value will definitely far exceed that of a 100,000-year soul ring and a 100,000-year soul bone.

As Super Douluo of the Spirit Hall, Qianjun Douluo and others had learned from the First and Second Elders about the power of 100,000-year spirit rings. While powerful, the value of spirit ring intent theory had severely impacted the spirit ring market. Furthermore, especially after Qianjun Douluo and the others learned from Qian Daoliu that spirit ring intent could advance the age of spirit rings, even thousands of 100,000-year spirit rings couldn't compare to the influence of spirit ring intent theory on this world.

"So, value is actually a very subjective thing. You think immortal herbs are important, and you think 100,000-year soul rings are important, but I think the phenomena of these things themselves are more important." Chen Hong smiled slightly. Science is not simply boiling water. All knowledge that can utilize objective rules and phenomena can be called science.

"The phenomenon is actually quite obvious, but few of you would, or rather, dare to make that connection. I can understand the torment felt by countless scholars throughout history who had doubts about the relationship between soul beasts and soul masters."

"Hmm," Chen Hong, sitting on the rock, looked at the three people in front of him and hummed softly. Then he said, "Let me make this clear beforehand: you can't make a move on the transformed soul beast beside me." Although Chen Hong was certain that these Title Douluos wouldn't notice Xiao Wu's abnormality, he was also worried that someone might use brute force to find Xiao Wu, whose background information was missing. Therefore, Chen Hong chose to tell everyone directly not to mess with his research subject.

(Tang San: What? Your boyfriend?! You've already committed suicide!)

(Xiao Wu: I'm invincible, everyone! I'm even more invincible than the Invincible Golden Body!)

"Don't worry! Of course! Of course! Anyone who dares to disturb your research is making an enemy of us!" Qian Jun and the other demon slayer immediately nodded, expressing their views and attitude to Chen Hong. They believed that Qian Daoliu shared the same attitude. After all, the Spirit Hall had given up on the first batch of immortal herbs in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well Valley so easily, which showed how much Qian Daoliu and the others valued Chen Hong.

Chen Hong (Sage's Tenfold Acceleration) > the entire Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, so naturally he is also greater than a small 100,000-year-old soul beast.

Dugu Bo was left speechless, unsure whether to speak or remain silent, creating an awkward situation. After all, the entire Spirit Hall's Super Douluo Team had agreed; even if Dugu Bo wanted to, he simply couldn't bring himself to do it.

"In that case, I can give you a direct example." Having received the attitude of the Qianjun Jiangmo brothers, Chen Hong stopped beating around the bush. Initially, he only had this tacit understanding with Qian Daoliu; now, Chen Hong was simply bringing this tacit understanding into the open.

"It's quite a coincidence, you seniors should still remember the Blue Silver Emperor incident more than ten years ago, right?"

"Of course we remember!" Qianjun Douluo and the others' eyes lit up, instantly understanding what Chen Hong wanted to say.

Moreover, the Spirit Hall was a major villain in the Blue Silver Emperor incident! How could Thousand-Pound Douluo and Demon-Slaying Douluo not know about it?

Dugu Bo, on the other hand, was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, and then immediately thought of a certain brat who had almost killed him, and felt a surge of anger.

"Since you remember, then you seniors can also discover that the Blue Silver Emperor's martial soul is her true form, and the martial soul of the son she had with Haotian Douluo should also be the Blue Silver Emperor?" Chen Hong was actually quite puzzled. Tang San's Blue Silver Grass martial soul was actually stronger than ordinary Blue Silver Grass, but it felt inferior to the Blue Silver Emperor, feeling somewhere in between.
