Chapter 149: Bai Family Village, Speed Clan
Hearing Qian Daoliu's question, Qian Renxue fell silent for a long time before finally nodding.
She did not speak, but a rare trace of confusion flashed through her beautiful golden eyes.
It was precisely because she had witnessed Lin Mo's talent and combat strength with her own eyes that she began to doubt her original choice.
If she had not gone undercover and had simply focused on cultivation all this time, with her talent, it would not have been difficult for her to reach the same level as her grandfather.
At that time, with so many Titled Douluos from Spirit Hall and so many enshrined Douluos from the Consecration Hall acting together, sweeping across the continent would definitely not be a problem.
But what about now?
More than ten years had passed, and she had spent her best cultivation years on that seemingly important undercover mission in the Heaven Dou Empire.
Yet even now, the harvest of her undercover efforts was still nowhere in sight.
Seeing the fleeting confusion in his granddaughter's eyes, Qian Daoliu understood instantly. He turned and looked at the Second Enshrined, Gold Crocodile Douluo, who had been standing quietly to the side.
"Gold Crocodile, in your opinion, how is that Lin Mo?"
Gold Crocodile Douluo bowed slightly. "What the Young Miss said is indeed true."
"That kid not only cultivates extremely fast, but his combat strength is also incredibly powerful. He excels at fighting above his level and has even mastered multiple self-created Spirit Skills."
"According to the Young Miss's description, even before obtaining his fifth spirit ring, he was able to use his Quasi Spirit King cultivation to leapfrog levels and kill a Sun Worm King with a cultivation of thirty thousand years."
"Although attribute suppression played a part, such a feat would definitely not be easy even for an ordinary Spirit Saint."
Qian Daoliu's eyes narrowed slightly.
Gold Crocodile Douluo pondered for a moment before finally giving his judgment.
"This boy's growth speed is too rapid. Even that Clear Sky Douluo from the Clear Sky Sect was far inferior to him at his age."
"If possible, we should still do our best to draw this person to our side. If he is left on his own, he will become an even greater variable in the future than Clear Sky Douluo Tang Hao."
Qian Daoliu nodded, his gaze falling back on Qian Renxue.
"Xue'er, what do you plan to do next?"
Qian Renxue fell silent for a moment. The confusion in her eyes gradually faded, replaced by determination.
"I should head back first."
She said softly, "The sunk cost on the Heaven Dou Empire's side is already too high. I don't plan to give up for now."
"The Spirit Douluo who helps disguise my identity at the Crown Prince's Manor has a time limit on his disguise ability. I can't be away for too long."
Qian Daoliu nodded slightly and said no more.
Qian Renxue took one last look out the window in the direction Lin Mo had left, then turned around, her platinum skirt drawing a graceful curve through the air.
Three days later, outside Yufeng City.
Lin Mo jumped down from the carriage and looked up at the outline of the medium-sized city not far away.
The city walls were not particularly grand, but they looked quite sturdy. People came and went at the city gate, making the place seem rather bustling.
Dugu Bo walked to his side and asked, "Kid, what exactly is your purpose for making a detour to this Yufeng City?"
Lin Mo withdrew his gaze and said frankly, "I previously heard through the Ye Family Medical Hall's medicinal herb purchasing channels that there might be herbs I need here."
"Medicinal herbs?" Dugu Bo raised an eyebrow. "What kind of herb requires you to make a trip in person? Even the Ye Family Medical Hall's channels couldn't get it?"
"Besides, isn't my Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well at your disposal? Are there herbs you need that aren't even in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well?"
"A rather special type of ginseng with uncommon properties. It is extremely rare."
Lin Mo did not mention the specific name of the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng.
"I also learned of this news by chance. Since it's rare for me to come out, I decided to come and try my luck."
Dugu Bo gave an "oh" and did not press further.
"Speaking of which..."
Dugu Bo suddenly remembered something and looked at Lin Mo with interest.
"That woman Bibi Dong gave you a promise, saying she could answer a question for you in the future. What do you plan to ask her using this opportunity?"
Hearing this, Lin Mo shook his head helplessly.
"There's nothing to ask," he said calmly. "It's just a blank check in exchange for a blank check."
Dugu Bo was stunned for a moment, then laughed.
"A blank check? That's a novel way to put it."
"But do you really have no cultivation difficulties that require guidance from a Titled Douluo? Bibi Dong's cultivation is much higher than mine!"
Lin Mo did not answer immediately.
He did not think he would encounter any bottlenecks before becoming a seven-ring Spirit Saint.
And before the seventh ring, the flames mastered by Charizard would definitely be elevated to the level of Ultimate Fire.
Furthermore, Spirit Masters with Ultimate attributes would not encounter any bottlenecks on their path from the Spirit Saint stage to the Super Douluo stage.
His future cultivation path could be said to be completely smooth.
Bibi Dong did indeed possess cultivation methods he was interested in, such as resolving the difficulty of attaching spirit rings to twin Spirits.
But even Yu Xiaogang could not get it when he went to ask her, so Lin Mo did not think he could get it from her either.
Moreover, whether this solution actually existed was still uncertain.
After all, in another timeline, the only two people on the Douluo Continent who cultivated their twin Spirits to the limit were Bibi Dong and Tang San.
And Tang San's method of resolving his own twin Spirits' spirit ring attachment was through God Trials.
Coincidentally, Bibi Dong only cultivated her second Martial Soul after reaching nine rings, and she herself also had the Rakshasa God Trials.
Thinking of this, the tiny spark of anticipation in Lin Mo's heart was completely extinguished.
"Let's go." Lin Mo withdrew his thoughts. "Senior Dugu, we're not entering the city."
"Not entering the city?" Dugu Bo was a bit surprised. "Then where are we going?"
"The village outside the city."
As Lin Mo spoke, he had already started walking in the direction opposite the city gate.
Although Dugu Bo was somewhat puzzled, he still followed.
The two walked along the dirt road outside the city for about half an hour, and a somewhat dilapidated village appeared in their field of vision.
Yufeng City, Bai Family Village.
Most of the houses were built from yellow clay and wood. The thatch on many roofs was already sparse, exposing the blackened beams underneath.
The ground at the entrance of the village was relatively flat, but the road further inside became bumpy and uneven.
A few children wearing patched clothes were playing at the village entrance.
Seeing the unfamiliar faces of Lin Mo and Dugu Bo, they could not help but stop their play and look over with curiosity and wariness.
Even Dugu Bo could not help sighing when he saw the appearance of Bai Family Village.
"These people have perfectly good limbs. How could they let their lives become like this?"
Dugu Bo's tone was full of incomprehension.
After Lin Mo's brief introduction on the way, Dugu Bo also knew that their destination for this trip was this Bai Family Village near Yufeng City.
And the ones living in Bai Family Village were precisely the Speed Clan, one of the Four Single-Attribute Clans abandoned by the Clear Sky Sect years ago.
And Lin Mo's goal for this trip was precisely that extremely rare Immortal Herb in the hands of the Speed Clan's Clan Chief, Bai He.
The Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng.
A Crystal Blood Dragon, born at the eighth rank, evolving over ten thousand years.
