Douluo Continent: Martial Soul Thunder Dragon, A Century of Glory

Chapter 42 Having a treasure trove but not knowing it

Dugu Bo's dilemma just now stemmed from regret! He regretted that he had a treasure trove of knowledge but was unaware of it; otherwise, he and Dugu Yan would have made progress long ago.

Dugu Bo knew that his previous actions had already given him away, and there was no point in hiding it any longer. He might as well tell Yang Wudi and continue to extract information about the rare and precious treasures from him. At worst, he could just trade one of those treasures for Yang Wudi.

Dugu Bo had considered taking her from the Yang family, but considering that his granddaughter was still outside, and that he could sense a faint threat from Yang Wudi, he abandoned the idea.

Having received Dugu Bo's acknowledgment, Yang Wudi suppressed his inner elation and calmly asked, "May I ask what rare and precious treasures Your Majesty has seen?"

"This, this, this... and this!" Dugu Bo pointed out the Fiery Apricot Blossom, Eight-Cornered Ice Grass, Extraordinary Chrysanthemum, Narcissus Jade Skin, Silky Tulip, Eight-Petaled Fairy Orchid, Autumn Water Dew, Blood-Red Swan Kiss, and the Fragrant Silky Fairy Product!

But the more he pointed it out, the more his heart ached!

"It's actually the Fragrant Silk Immortal Herb!!! Your Majesty, have you really seen this immortal herb before?" Upon hearing that Dugu Bo had mentioned the Fragrant Silk Immortal Herb, Yang Wudi completely ignored all the other immortal treasures and rare herbs mentioned earlier. He was practically rubbing his hands together in excitement.

"I gave you information about this so-called Fragrant Silk Immortal Product, what can you give me in return?" Dugu Bo looked at Yang Wudi with extreme calmness.

"If Your Majesty can tell me where you saw the Fragrant Qiluo Immortal Herb, my entire Po Clan will owe Your Majesty a huge favor, a favor that we would repay even if it meant fighting against the Spirit Hall." Yang Wudi's tone was extremely serious.

Upon hearing Yang Wudi's promise, a hint of satisfaction flashed in Dugu Bo's eyes; this promise was indeed substantial.

However, before he could reply to Yang Wudi, Yang Wudi continued, "If Your Majesty possesses it, I will lead the entire Po Clan to follow Your Majesty in exchange for this Fragrant Silk Immortal Item!"

Yun Yibai's eyes lit up when he heard this! He knew this thing would be very useful for Yang Wudi.

With two promises in succession, each more weighty than the last, Dugu Bo was somewhat confused. Could this single blade of grass really be worth so much?

"Clan Chief Yang Wudi, is this really worth it for you? Or rather, is this so-called 'Fragrant Silk Immortal Item' really worth that much?"

"Your Majesty, it depends on the person. I suppose you are aware of the feud between our Breaking Clan and the Spirit Hall, and our hatred for the Clear Sky Sect. But what can we do? The Spirit Hall is powerful, and the Clear Sky Sect is still beyond our ability to deal with."

"But I am not willing to truly bury this hatred, nor is our entire Broken Clan."

"All these years of conserving my strength are for the day I can take revenge."

"However, besides absolute force, poison is also an effective weapon for us when it comes to revenge."

"But we are not Your Majesty, and making poison means getting poisoned. Not only that, but we members of the Broken Clan are also poisoned by the contamination of medicines when we make them."

"If we really talk about preciousness, perhaps this Fragrant Silk Immortal Herb is not as precious as the other immortal herbs Your Majesty pointed out, because this Fragrant Silk Immortal Herb is the best anti-poison immortal herb. Within its range, no poison has any effect, and its fragrance has the effect of neutralizing all poisons, making it a veritable nemesis of all poisons."

"However, for me, this Fragrant Silk Immortal Herb is even more important. With it, I no longer need to fear being poisoned by the medicine when refining any medicine. With it, I can start refining many medicines that I dared not attempt before. Moreover, its fragrance can cause many medicines to mutate, exerting greater effects. For our Breaking Clan, this thing is priceless."

"To be honest, I would give my life for him."

"So this is what the 'Fragrant Fairy Herb' is all about? No wonder there's never any poison around it whenever I see it."

Yang Wudi noticed a key word, "every time," which meant that Dugu Bo might really have the Fragrant Silk Fairy Product in his possession.

"And what about these?" Dugu Bo didn't rush to answer Yang Wudi's question. He pointed again to the other few rare and precious herbs he had his eye on.

"These eight-cornered ice grass and fiery apricot blossoms are highly poisonous immortal herbs, possessing top-level cold poison and top-level fire poison respectively."

"..."

"Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum is a neutral medicinal herb. When consumed, it can circulate qi in the limbs, unblock the blood vessels in the eight meridians, and help one cultivate an indestructible body."

"The spirit of the Spirit Hall is the chrysanthemum, that's the spirit of the Title Douluo!" After Yang Wudi finished his introduction, he also mentioned Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan, whether intentionally or unintentionally, it was unclear.

"Oh~" Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo's interest clearly grew even stronger.

"So that's the martial spirit of that old chrysanthemum!" Dugu Bo looked at the portrait of the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum, a strange look flashing in his eyes, full of meaning.

"Because the immortal items are rare treasures of heaven and earth, one person can only consume one at most!" Yang Wudi said as a precaution. The items might very well belong to someone else, so there was no need to look for them. He was also afraid that Dugu Bo would refuse to trade with him after he learned how precious these items were.

"By the way, the ninth-grade purple ganoderma that this kid ate isn't strictly speaking a divine product; at best, it's a top-tier herb, but its effects are still extraordinary."

Dugu Bo subtly glanced at Yun Yibai, whom he considered a near-monstrous little monster whose wisdom was almost supernatural. He thought his suggestion was worth considering.

Of course, most importantly, Yun Yibai is the grandson-in-law he approves of. Although he doesn't like him usually, he truly approves of him.

Yun Yibai nodded slightly to Dugu Bo.

Are you sure you will remain loyal to me and to my descendants?

"I swear I can shatter the honor of my clan!"

A hint of satisfaction flashed in Dugu Bo's eyes. In this way, he wouldn't be completely alone anymore. The martial world has its own rules, and the Douluo Continent naturally has its own set of unspoken rules as well.

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.

Unless the main family betrays them first, any affiliated forces that break away from the main family will be despised by all Soul Masters.

……

"Kid, tell me why you nodded!" That evening, Dugu Bo and Yun Yibai sat facing each other.

"Actually, I never expected that my trickery of Chief Yang would lead to so many things being uncovered," Yun Yibai said with a helpless smile to Dugu Bo.

"I knew you little rascal wouldn't behave!" Dugu Bo said with a laugh.

"Since Yang Wudi asked that question back then, it must be something important that he cared about. That's why he managed to extract so much information about herbs!"

"I didn't realize Senior Dugu had so many good things!"

Dugu Bo: "..." I always feel like this kid is subtly criticizing me.

Helping Yang Wudi was based on multiple considerations. Firstly, although he understood the situation, why should Dugu Bo believe what he said? Words without reason would only arouse Dugu Bo's suspicion.

He didn't believe he was the chosen one, that everyone would believe whatever he said. The Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire? A celestial treasure? Where did he get such knowledge of things he'd never even seen before? Did he approach Dugu Yan with such a purpose? And so on…

Actively exposing himself was a complete trap. Dugu Bo had never liked him before, let alone brought him to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

Secondly, he was attracted by the abilities of the Broken Clan.
