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

"This is clearly a sign of encountering a more potent poison."

"Just this one point, all three of your soul skills combined can't compare to this kid's poison."

Dugu Bo looked at the nine-section jade obediently wrapped around Qin Qi's little finger and shook his head.

"Kid, shouldn't you give Xiao Cui back to me?"

Dugu Bo spoke up.

"Um... lend it to me for two more days, I'll return it to you after two days."

Qin Qi looked at the nine-section jade ring wrapped around his finger, which resembled a ring.

To be honest, he was a little reluctant to return it to Dugu Bo, as such high-quality bamboo leaf green tea is really rare.

"Stop talking nonsense! This is my precious baby that I've watched grow up since it was a baby. Give it back to me right now!"

Dugu Bo immediately started grabbing.

"I'll give it to you after I play with it for a few days, I'll give you four!"

Qin Qi tightly protected his hands and spoke.

"Did you swear an oath or a four? Stop playing word games with me, give it back to me now!"

Dugu Bo saw through Qin Qi's scheme at a glance and said angrily.

"Ugh, men, how childish."

Dugu Yan watched the two bickering and couldn't help but shake her head and sigh.

..............................

In the following days, Qin Qi stayed at the academy for a few more days before packing his things to go to Dugu Bo's herb garden in Sunset Forest.

"Qin Qi, you must remember us! You must remember to come back!"

The principal's poison had been neutralized, and he held Qin Qi's hand tightly, his eyes filled with tears of reluctance.

"Don't worry, Principal, I will definitely come back."

"I promised to be the school's billboard to attract students, and I definitely won't go back on my word."

Qin Qi withdrew his hand with a hint of disgust and spoke.

"That's fine, that's fine."

"Qin Qi, I don't know what you like, but I have a hundred gold soul coins here."

"Consider it a scholarship for your early graduation. Please accept it and don't be shy."

"You absolutely mustn't refuse, you...you're just going to accept it like this?"

The principal stared wide-eyed at Qin Qi, who simply accepted the money pouch and stuffed it into his pocket.

What's going on? You shouldn't have refused me three times before finally accepting it because you couldn't refuse anymore.

Is it alright if you just accept it now?

"Yes, I've already agreed to recruit students for you, so you can deduct the money from the tuition fees of the students I recruit."

Qin Qi reached out and patted the principal on the shoulder. He was really short of money right now; he needed money to learn puppetry and assemble puppets.

He needs money to buy the corpses of spirit beasts, and he needs money to buy medicine. He's always short of money.

"Yeah, that's fine too."

The principal nodded blankly. Even this shrewd old fox couldn't figure out whether he had made a loss or a gain.

The principal stepped down, and Teacher Zhao stepped forward.

"Teacher, I'm not as rich as the principal, so I can't give you a lot of money, but I bought you a piece of clothing."

“You’re not a little kid anymore. In a while, you’ll be eight years old, and you’ll need to pay attention to your appearance.”

"Especially..."

As she spoke, Teacher Zhao glanced at Dugu Yan. She didn't finish her sentence, but her meaning was clear. She handed the clothes she had bought to Qin Qi.

"Thank you, Teacher Zhao. But I bought this outfit a year ago, and it's still in good condition."

Qin Qi accepted the clothes given to him by Teacher Zhao, then put on the jacket and put the rest away.

"........."

Teacher Zhao, Dugu Yan, Xiao Wu, and the girls present all looked speechless upon hearing Qin Qi's words.

Wearing the same clothes for a year, is that for real?

But when they saw Qin Qi in his new clothes, their eyes lit up and their expressions became awkward.

"Clothes really do make the man, Qin Qi. You look quite handsome in your new clothes."

Xiao Wu casually stepped forward, patted Qin Qi on the shoulder, and said with a smile.

"I look handsome even without wearing it."

Qin Qi said with a smile.

"Pfft, shameless."

Xiao Wu made a face at Qin Qi and stuck out her tongue, but then her expression turned somewhat sad.

"We've already given you gifts, so we won't give you any more now. Let me give you a final hug."

Xiao Wu hugged Qin Qi, then turned and left. Next, other female classmates came up and hugged Qin Qi.

"Fizz!"

Seeing this, Dugu Yan let out a low growl like a venomous snake, her eyes practically spitting venom.

"Qin Qi..."

Tang San also walked up to Qin Qi.

"I won't hug you. It feels weird for boys to hug each other."

Qin Qi extended his hand and shook hands with Tang San, then went to shake hands with the others.

"I... I didn't say I wanted a hug. I... I'm not interested in boys."

Tang San felt the gaze of Dugu Yan upon him, and he felt immense pressure. He had never intended to hug her in the first place.

He swore!

After saying goodbye to everyone, Qin Qi, Dugu Yan, and Dugu Bo set off for Sunset Forest.

"Everyone, the journey is long, we'll meet again someday."

Qin Qi waved goodbye to everyone.

"Goodbye."

"Bye-Bye."

"He truly is a promising poet; even his farewell speech is so literary."

"At this moment, I feel compelled to compose a poem..."

The principal was about to compose a poem, but everyone left. They figured it was pointless to listen to the principal's poetry, given his poor taste.

You might as well do something more meaningful.

Chapter 80 Sunset Forest, the surplus of Dugu Bo!

Before long, Qin Qi and his group arrived at Dugu Bo's herb garden in Sunset Forest.

"Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap!!"

"This ancient ginseng king, it'll probably become a spirit in a few more years!"

"Wow, this is... this is the legendary forget-me-not! There really is such a thing in the world!"

"And this is also the poisonous plant known as 'heartbreak grass'!"

"The Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Spring, and the Eight-Cornered Mysterious Ice Grass, and the Blazing Apricot Blossom!"

Qin Qi couldn't help but drool as he looked at the treasures in the herb garden.

Many of the medicinal herbs here were things he had never seen before, nor had his second great-grandfather and the others; some were even things that only existed in legends.

Seeing so many treasures in front of him, Qin Qi really couldn't resist wanting to take them all!

"Hmph, kid, look at your ignorant attitude."

"But I must tell you first, these things are good, but each one is extremely dangerous."

"Even non-toxic supplements can kill you if you take them indiscriminately."

Seeing Qin Qi's exaggerated reaction, Dugu Bo felt a surge of secret pleasure.

Qin Qi has been putting on an act in front of him all this time, now it's finally his turn to put on an act.

"Sigh, it's a good thing, but unfortunately it's useless to me right now."

"Even if I eat it, it's a waste of my time."

Looking at those top-grade and immortal-grade medicinal herbs, Qin Qi controlled his emotions and shook his head regretfully.

"What, are you saying there's something wrong with my medicine?"

Dugu Bo frowned immediately and asked.

"No problem, it's just that the medicine is too effective. It would be a waste for me to take it in my current condition."

"These medicinal herbs should be taken at least at the Soul Saint level or even higher to achieve the best effect."

"Moreover, eating it directly is generally not very effective. It can only achieve the best effect when combined with corresponding medicinal materials and refined into pills."

Although Qin Qi longed for these good things, he was not controlled by greed.

He knew that these things were useless to him now.

"You're quite calm, kid. But do you know how to combine these things into a prescription?"

Seeing Qin Qi calm down, Dugu Bo nodded, quite satisfied with Qin Qi's state of mind.
