Douluo Continent: Martial Soul Pill Devouring, I am the True Path of the Tang Sect

"The progress is still very slow, but given time, I am confident that I can concentrate all my power on the poison pill!"

Dugu Bo's expression at this moment could truly be described as spirited and triumphant; he couldn't hide the smile on his face at all.

The problem that had troubled him for countless years was finally solved, and he wanted to tell everyone the news!

He wanted everyone to be happy with him, but unfortunately, Dugu Bo had no friends.

"That's good news. Now that you've succeeded, I won't be coming over anymore."

"I need to prepare for the school exams in the next few days."

Qin Qi came here for two reasons: first, to confirm Dugu Bo's situation, and second, to resign from the restaurant.

He will be focusing on his exams from now on and won't have time to come back to work.

"Hey, you're not coming? Then you don't want your payment?"

Dugu Bo looked at Qin Qi with a somewhat surprised expression. He hadn't expected Qin Qi to say such a thing.

"Of course I want it! I earned it through my own abilities, why shouldn't I accept it?"

"But I don't need it right now, so I'll just leave it with you for now. I'll ask you for it when I need it."

Qin Qi certainly wanted those medicinal herbs, but he didn't need them right now, and if he got them but couldn't preserve them properly, it would be a waste of their medicinal properties.

It would be better to continue cultivating it in Dugu Bo's garden.

"Aren't you afraid that if you leave it with me, I might turn on you later and not give it back to you?"

Dugu Bo looked at Qin Qi, narrowed his eyes, and asked.

"You old poisoner, you really do things like that. With your shameless personality, you definitely don't care about saving face."

"But you're a person who values ​​promises. If you don't agree, you'll definitely go back on your word, but if you do agree, you'll never go back on your word."

"I still have some trust in you. Well, if you go back on your word, then consider it the price I pay for misjudging you."

Qin Qi smiled at Dugu Bo. This old guy is definitely shameless, but he certainly won't go back on his word.

If I break my promise, then consider it the price for Qin Qiguan's failure in cultivating his eyesight.

"Hahahaha!"

Dugu Bo suddenly burst into laughter. He looked at Qin Qi with a mixture of admiration and affection in his eyes.

"You're right. I'm shameless. If I didn't agree, I would definitely go back on my word and not give it to you."

"But whatever I, Dugu Bo, promise, I will absolutely keep. A promise is a promise!"

Dugu Bo's expression turned serious. The only things he was stubborn about in his life were his promise and his granddaughter.

"Alright, things are settled, I'll be going now. I've been incredibly busy with my studies lately."

Qin Qi waved his hand and prepared to leave, but he was stopped by Dugu Bo after taking only two steps.

"Wait a minute, I have another question. I have no problem condensing the poison pill, but what about Yan Yan?"

"She doesn't have the Jade Serpent King's core pearl. Even if she did, she wouldn't be able to condense a poison pill with her soul power control and mental strength."

Dugu Bo looked at Qin Qi and asked with a serious expression. Compared to himself, he was more worried about Dugu Yan.

"Dugu Yan won't die anytime soon. I'll write you a prescription later so she can take it and won't have to suffer from the toxin outbreak again for a while."

"After a while, once you've finished refining the poison pill, plant a poison seed in Dugu Yan, and she'll be able to cultivate on her own."

"Moreover, the cultivation speed will be faster, and the Azure Serpent Martial Soul will be able to evolve into the Azure Serpent Emperor Martial Soul in the future."

The method Qin Qi mentioned was not something he came up with himself, but rather evolved from the Fire Seed Cultivation Method of the Fire Virtue Sect under One Person.

The true skill of the Fire Virtue Sect requires cultivating the ability to obtain fire from a fire pit, then refining the fire and nurturing its energy.

Qin Qi simply replaced the fire pit with poison pills and the fire with poison gas.

"Poison seed, what a brilliant idea!"

"Where did you learn all this stuff, kid?"

"How exactly did you train to possess such poison skills?"

Dugu Bo looked at Qin Qi with a slight gleam in his eyes, as if he had discovered a treasure trove.

He was a little excited. If it weren't for the fact that Qin Qi was really admirable to him, and that Yan Yan was protecting this kid, he would have been even more excited.

Dugu Bo now wanted to take action to capture Qin Qi and then thoroughly investigate the kid's background.

"Hehe, would you believe me if I said I was born with this skill?"

Qin Qi smiled and asked.

"Do not believe."

Dugu Bo spoke up.

"Then why are you still asking? Alright, I'm not going to waste my breath on you anymore. I'm leaving now."

Qin Qi turned and left. He really didn't have time to waste here; he needed to seize every minute to study.

After Qin Qi left.

"Yanyan, what do you think of this kid?"

Dugu Bo looked at his granddaughter, who had been silent and helping to pour tea, and asked.

"That's great. Qin Qi knows a lot of things; he's much more capable than me."

"Although she is younger than me, she is much more mature and exudes confidence in every move she makes."

Dugu Yan's words were full of praise for Qin Qi, as if she regarded him as a perfect person.

"Yanyan!"

Dugu Bo sensed a crisis; it seemed his granddaughter had taken a liking to that boy.

“Listen to me, that kid has a lot of flaws, for example... he’s poor and greedy.”

Dugu Bo spoke up.

"He was indeed a bit poor and a bit greedy, but he was very decisive when it came to getting money to do things."

"And you said he was greedy, so he can entrust the huge reward you promised to you for safekeeping."

"This doesn't seem like someone who's simply greedy."

Dugu Yan spoke.

"That's true... but this kid is very impolite. He doesn't even know how to use a respectful title when he looks at me."

Dugu Bo was speechless for a moment after hearing Dugu Yan's words. He felt that what Dugu Yan said made sense, but he still couldn't accept it.

"Even when facing someone who is revered as the Poison Douluo and feared, you still show no fear whatsoever."

"Isn't that a good kind of courage? Just like you, Grandpa, when you were young, and just like Dad!"

Dugu Yan continued speaking.

"This……"

Dugu Bo looked out the window at Qin Qi's departing figure in the distance, and couldn't help but mutter to himself.

"Could this kid be... a very outstanding person?!"

Dugu Bo was surprised when he thought of this.

"Grandpa, which school did you say he goes to?"

Dugu Yan asked.

"Where else could it be? It must be the Notting City Junior Soul Master Academy."

"No money, but talented. This kid must be a work-study student at Notting College."

Dugu Bo spoke without even thinking.

"Notting College, huh? Let's go check it out when they take their exams."

Suddenly, Dugu Yan grabbed Dugu Bo's hand, her eyes shining, and said in a coquettish tone, "Oh, ah."

"Well, that's fine."

Dugu Bo thought for a moment and nodded. He also wanted to see how Qin Qi was performing at school.

Chapter 70: Graduating Early Begins - You Should Have Said You Had Such a Powerful Background Sooner!

In the following days, Qin Qi studied and read books during the day, and studied in the study space at night.

In the days leading up to the exam, he squeezed out almost all of his time.

Finally, on the day before it began, all preparations were completed.

"My child, you are still young and have many opportunities. If you fail this time, you can try again next year."

"Your college has a six-year program, and you're only a sophomore now. You have many more opportunities to choose from."

Tang Jiaren looked at Qin Qi with some worry in his heart, as Qin Qi's journey had been too smooth.

This challenge was too great. He was worried that Qin Qi would fail, and even more worried that Qin Qi would not be able to handle failure.

"Jiaren, what are you saying? We've all seen how hard Qin Qi has worked!"

“If even we, as elders and teachers, don’t have confidence in him and don’t believe in him.”

"How does he have the confidence to back it up?"

Tang Shiying glanced at Tang Jiaren and began to reprimand him.

"Uncle Ying, you're right. I was wrong."

Tang Jiaren nodded and said, "Little Qin, go ahead. I have faith in you!"

After being reprimanded like this, the Tang Clan patriarch didn't utter a single harsh word.

On the one hand, Tang Shiying's seniority and status are significant enough that he would scold anyone, not just the master, but even the head of the sect.

Secondly, Tang Shiying is right. If even their elders and masters don't believe in Qin Qi, where will Qin Qi get the confidence to face difficulties?

"Second Grandfather, Great Grandfather, don't worry, whether I succeed or fail, I will definitely not be defeated."
