At the mountaintop, the three of them looked at each other.
After a long while, Dugu Bo looked at Wang Li.
"Blue Silver King! Life force!!"
Then he looked at Dugu Yan.
"Immortal treasure! Yearning Heartbroken Red!!"
Wang Li admitted it directly.
"My mutated Blue Silver Grass has evolved to this extent. Calling it the Blue Silver King would not be far off. I have a domain and can command ordinary Blue Silver Grass."
Dugu Yan then took out the Yearning Heartbroken Red. Ever since she had plucked the flower, she had kept it close to her body. Wang Li had never told her its name before, so she learned it unexpectedly today.
"Immortal treasure, Yearning Heartbroken Red. So that is its name."
Dugu Bo then said meaningfully:
"It seems that what we encountered today was not a human, but a one-hundred-thousand-year spirit beast. Its species must be extremely special to be able to take human form. Not only is it proficient in earth escape techniques, but it could also see through our backgrounds."
"He said that when Xiao Li reaches level ninety, he will give him a one-hundred-thousand-year spirit ring and a one-hundred-thousand-year spirit bone. Xiao Li, you've struck great fortune. In the entire soul master world, these are absolutely top-tier treasures."
Wang Li was also quite pleased. Even though he could increase the age of his spirit rings on his own, a one-hundred-thousand-year spirit ring and spirit bone could provide an enormous amount of life essence.
He said:
"That old man seemed to value the special soul power converted from my second spirit skill. Perhaps this is a transaction."
Dugu Yan asked worriedly:
"Could it be dangerous?"
Dugu Bo said in a deep voice:
"I am still here. No matter what that person intends, if it endangers Xiao Li's life, I will not allow it to proceed."
He then opened the jade box in his hand. Inside lay a ginseng, entirely blood-red and crystal clear, with the image of a five-clawed giant dragon soaring through the nine heavens upon it.
Dugu Bo grew excited. It was clearly related to dragons. Their Jade Phosphor Serpent martial soul was originally considered a branch of the dragon lineage. Perhaps this ginseng could truly stimulate the dragon blood within their martial soul and resolve its defect.
After pondering briefly, he said:
"This should be the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng. However, we should still ask Clan Leader Bai He to identify it. At the same time, we will give him the agreed payment. We may have gained a great advantage, so we should not be stingy with worldly possessions."
Wang Li nodded. Though the matter had twists and turns, the outcome was good. Smiling, he said:
"Let's return to White Family Fort once more, and then head back to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. Grandfather, we'll let Sister Yan consume the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng there to evolve her martial soul."
The smile on Dugu Bo's face never faded. Grabbing Wang Li and Dugu Yan, he retraced their path back.
It did not take long for them to return to White Family Fort.
As soon as Dugu Bo revealed his aura, Bai He personally came out to receive them. Not only him,there was another person beside him, wearing a cold expression and emitting a sharp aura. His face was stiff and his eyes gloomy. He was the reinforcement Bai He had invited: the current clan leader of the Break Clan, Yang Wudi.
However, Dugu Bo paid him no attention. He took out the jade box, opened it, and let Bai He examine the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng while saying:
"We pursued the thief for dozens of miles and found him atop a mountain. His situation was rather special, so I will not elaborate. Take a look,this is the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng of your Agility Clan, correct?"
Seeing the extremely familiar appearance, Bai He nodded frantically.
"That's right, it's it! Our Bai family's heirloom,the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng!"
After confirmation, Dugu Bo closed the jade box. Now that it was settled, things were simple.
"In that case, the transaction continues. One hundred and fifty thousand gold soul coins. I will not go back on my word."
With that, Dugu Bo reached into the storage soul tool at his waist, searched briefly, and took out several gold soul coin deposit cards,mostly gold and black,before handing them over.
"They are accepted at any bank on the continent. You can exchange them at any time."
Bai He beamed with joy. Though he had lost the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng, the one hundred and fifty thousand gold soul coins would allow his clan ten years of rapid development. To him, it was worth it.
Beside him, Yang Wudi looked as if he hated Bai He for not being more capable. If Bai He had told him earlier about the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng, he would have gathered funds at any cost to purchase it. Now that the transaction was complete, he had no room to intervene.
Suddenly, his gaze shifted casually and landed on Dugu Yan,more precisely, on the Yearning Heartbroken Red in her hand.
With just one glance, he could no longer look away. His body stiffened as if struck by lightning. After a long while, he spoke hoarsely:
"Miss, may I take a look at the flower in your hand…"
Before Dugu Yan could respond, Dugu Bo stepped in front of her. Looking at the stiff-faced, gloomy-eyed man, he frowned and asked Bai He:
"Who is this?"
Worried about a conflict, Bai He quickly explained:
"Your Excellency Biling, he is my friend, the clan leader of the Break Clan, Yang Wudi. Our clan's treasure was stolen, so I invited him to help. He has some knowledge of rare flowers and medicinal herbs. His earlier behavior carried absolutely no ill intent."
As he spoke, Bai He kept signaling Yang Wudi with his eyes. A Titled Douluo was not someone to offend.
Though Yang Wudi was arrogant by nature, that flower had stirred his heart deeply, so he adjusted his attitude.
"Your Excellency Biling, I meant no harm. I am simply very curious. That flower closely resembles an immortal treasure recorded in my clan's texts. That is why I wished to examine it for confirmation."
At this point, Yang Wudi glanced around. With so many people present, it was not appropriate to produce evidence openly, so he said:
"This is not the place to talk. Let us find somewhere quiet, and I will present the evidence."
Dugu Bo's eyes flickered. Earlier, the white-haired old man who was a one-hundred-thousand-year spirit beast had also mentioned immortal treasures and the Yearning Heartbroken Red. How was it that everyone except him, the owner of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, seemed to know about those herbs?
Wang Li had already suspected something. After Bai He's introduction, he was delighted. He had not expected to encounter Yang Wudi while visiting Bai He.
The Break Clan not only specialized in offensive martial souls but also possessed deep expertise in refining medicine and poison.
If they could obtain information from him about the introduction, usage, and combinations of immortal herbs, then all the immortal herbs in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well could finally be fully utilized.
At this moment, seeing the situation, Bai He cautiously suggested:
"Why don't we enter White Family Fort first? I will prepare a quiet room for us so we can discuss this properly."
