Melee archer with maxed-out Douluo luck

Chapter 25: Deals and Pitfalls, Han Li's Plea for Conscience

The two lived not far from each other, and Han Li arrived at his destination after running only a few steps.

The servants around him did not stop him. This young master was not a first-timer. Although he was a disciple of Guangling, he had been taken care of by his master during this period. The extent of his favor was obvious to the naked eye. It was not much different from calling him his disciple.

Han Li rushed over and headed straight for the hall, where he saw that the two Douluo, Chrysanthemum and Ghost, had already arrived.

Without Bibi Dong's presence, the atmosphere among the four was not so stiff. Except for Gui Mei, who still didn't say much, the other three were chatting and laughing, mainly Yue Guan who was keeping the atmosphere lively.

After all, the "Hum and Ha Generals" used to be Qian Xunji's subordinates. Although the two retainers didn't have a good impression of Qian Xunji, they had interacted with each other to some extent. Their relationship deteriorated after they joined Bibi Dong's camp.

"Xiao Li is here, please have a seat."

Seeing that Han Li was still breathing heavily, Qingluan, the hostess, smiled and poured him a cup of tea.

"Ton ton ton," Han Li said without ceremony, taking the teacup and drinking it all in one gulp before handing the cup back.

"Teacher, senior master, I have met Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo."

Han Li then adjusted his breathing and bowed to the four Douluo.

Ghostly didn't speak, but nodded in response. Yue Guan, on the other hand, looked Han Li up and down, then covered his mouth and chuckled, "This must be the disciple of the Fifth Elder. He's quite handsome and will surely become a pillar of our Spirit Hall in the future."

Han Li's lips twitched almost imperceptibly. To be honest, he actually had a pretty high opinion of Chrysanthemum and Ghost. Putting aside everything else, these two really appeared from beginning to end of the book, their presence was full, their loyalty was impeccable, and their skills were useful. It's just a pity that they followed the wrong people, and their ending was truly tragic.

That's right. Although he understands Yue Guan's performance art, he really can't adapt to it for the time being.

"You flatter me, Chrysanthemum Douluo. I'm just lucky to have been favored by my teacher and senior uncle. I'll be content as long as I can contribute to the Spirit Hall in the future," Han Li replied modestly.

Seeing that the two were about to continue their bureaucratic talk, Guangling quickly interrupted, "Now that Xiao Li has arrived, let's begin the transaction. Xiao... Yue Guan, just give Xiao Li your flowers, plants, and plant catalogs."

Upon hearing Guangling's words, Chrysanthemum Douluo was stunned. He hadn't expected that the things Guangling wanted were actually for his disciple.

Is this little guy interested in these things? Well, that's fine too. It's better than letting Guangling eat peonies like a cow. He went to great lengths to get some of these plants, so he can't let Guangling waste them.

Thinking of this, Yue Guan developed a good impression of Han Li. He was also a flower lover. She would also give him a cultivation manual later, lest he die from being cared for. Perhaps in the future, he would have another like-minded person to exchange ideas with. Communicating with this little guy was much more comfortable than communicating with that old man, Dugu Bo.

"Okay, let's make the deal now."

Yue Guan glanced at Gui Mei, and after confirming that he also agreed, he began to take the items out of his storage ring. While gently placing the flowerpots on the ground, he also pulled Han Li aside to introduce their names, functions, uses, and suitable growing environments, all with great seriousness.

Han Li was quite interested and listened very attentively. Before long, the hall was filled with flowers, creating a sea of ​​fragrance.

Seeing this, Han Li quickly activated his wristband to store everything. Seeing Yue Guan's anxious expression, he hurriedly explained, "My wristband can store living things, so please rest assured, senior."

Yue Guan finally breathed a sigh of relief and began to repeat the previous actions again. He repeated this process four times before he was able to deliver all the plants. However, he still looked at Han Li's wristband with reluctance in his eyes, but when he turned to look at the manual next to Guang Ling, he gritted his teeth and endured it.

With a flick of his wrist, two booklets appeared in his hands. He spoke earnestly, "All the plant information I've collected and learned about is in these. The other one is my personal cultivation manual. I hope you will treat them well."

"Okay, don't worry."

Han Li was taken aback, then accepted the book with both hands. He didn't particularly enjoy growing flowers and plants, but he certainly didn't intend to damage them. He had originally planned to entrust them to a professional to take care of and create a garden, and now with Chrysanthemum Douluo's manual, things became much easier.

Seeing that he agreed very seriously, Yue Guan felt much better. She suppressed her reluctance and headed towards Guang Ling's direction to hand over the medicinal herbs and gold soul coins.

Han Li didn't go over, but instead took the opportunity to flip through the exquisitely illustrated plant guide. As soon as he opened it, his eyes lit up. Chrysanthemum Douluo was indeed honest; he wouldn't give away an incomplete ancient book, but it was obvious that he had put a lot of effort into making it.

The first page was Chrysanthemum Douluo's own martial soul record, vividly depicted. It not only recorded everything in detail but also included illustrations and colors, making it impossible to mistake one for another.

Han Li eagerly flipped through a few more pages, and sure enough, they contained the names of all the immortal herbs he knew. In fact, there were nearly thirty different kinds of immortal herbs recorded, not just a few. However, even after Yue Guan searched through various ancient books, the information on some of them was incomplete, and no pictures were provided. But for Han Li, this was enough.

Han Li carefully put the two booklets into his wristband. He glanced at Yue Guan and Gui Mei, who were still trading with Guang Ling, and felt that he had gone a bit too far in rigging them. But given the current situation, this was the only option, since they were now Bibi Dong's people.

Moreover, he was not lying. After marking the information last night, he confirmed the situation with his master and senior brother. The two of them did not have a chance to advance at present. It was lucky that the two of them, who had gone astray, could reach level 95. This was the evaluation given by Qian Daoliu. Otherwise, he would not have allowed Qian Xunji's subordinates to switch to Bibi Dong without any hindrance.

As Han Libiao said, Ju and Gui either need to find something to compensate for their potential, or they can only find high-age soul bones that are extremely suitable for their martial souls to support them, and they must be at least 50,000 years old. However, after breaking through with the help of soul bones, they will have no chance to advance further in this life.

Han Li then thought of Bibi Dong's attitude towards the two of them. If he followed Bibi Dong, he probably wouldn't even be able to get a 30,000-year-old soul bone. It would be easier to dream about getting a soul bone of more than 50,000 years that was extremely compatible.

Well, then let Master tell them about the soul bone too. There's no need to write it down in the booklet. I wonder if they'll tell Bibi Dong anyway, haha.

In this way, although there was no real insight, it wasn't like we offended the two too much. It's already quite good that we got this much in exchange for some unused resources. After all, we told you the method, and if you can't do it, you can't blame others. Let the two of them and Bibi Dong have their own headaches.

Han Li happily used his soul bone to inform his teacher, and then mentioned the possible consequences to Guang Ling. Guang Ling immediately agreed, and even looked at the two unlucky guys, Ju Gui, with much more kindness.

"If you can make Bibi Dong feel bad, then you are my good friends," Guang Ling thought to himself with a secret smile.
