At present, Dugu Yan's cultivation Level was only one Level below Yu Tianheng. After absorbing the immortal herbs, she would definitely surpass him.
At that time, as long as the secret of the immortal herbs was kept, Yu Tianheng would certainly leave Dugu Yan.
For Dugu Bo, he naturally didn't want his granddaughter to fall into heartbreak, so he thought about having Wu Qi seamlessly take his place.
Wu Qi quickly waved his hands. "Old man, how many years older is Dugu Yan than me? I can't handle that."
Without giving him a chance to continue, he immediately used cultivation as an excuse to end the conversation.
Early the next morning.
Wu Qi stepped onto the stairs of Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
Sensing his presence, the three education committee members appeared immediately.
"What, do you think I don't keep my word?" Dugu Bo took the lead in speaking.
Meng Shenji smiled awkwardly and explained, "Your Excellency Dugu, you've misunderstood. I simply missed Wu Qi very much. Now that he's back, of course I wanted to see him right away."
Zhi Lin, a Spirit Douluo, followed up, "Little Wu, during the month you were away, the second Royal Team was almost completely at a standstill."
"Now that you're back, we should give you more responsibility. Form the team as soon as possible."
Wu Qi cupped his fists toward the three and agreed.
Seeing that Dugu Bo wasn't causing trouble, the three exchanged a few pleasantries before taking their leave.
Before leaving, Meng Shenji added, "Your Excellency Dugu, Yan'er has gone out for Spirit Arena training with the team under Teacher Qin's guidance. She won't be returning to the academy anytime soon, so please make yourself at ease."
"Got it," Dugu Bo replied lazily.
This trip wasn't just to find Dugu Yan, he was also here to back Wu Qi.
Wu Qi had said he wanted to recruit two geniuses from the Huo family. With Dugu Bo stepping in, Huo Lie wouldn't dare make excessive demands.
As Wu Qi entered the academy, he was spotted by Wu Qin, who immediately spread the news of his return throughout the academy.
Changkong and Ning Rongrong received the news right away. Before Wu Qi could even return to his dormitory, the two had already come to find him.
"You two, can't you be a bit more reserved?" Wu Qi said irritably.
"Let me introduce you, this is Senior Dugu Bo, the Poison Douluo."
"Greetings, Senior," the two said, bowing respectfully.
At the same time, they couldn't help but feel curious.
How exactly had Wu Qi managed to convince Dugu Bo to stay by his side?
After all, every Titled Douluo was proud, how could someone like that lower themselves so easily?
Wu Qi didn't explain directly. He simply released a trace of his spirit power.
"This a Spirit Ancestor?"
Changkong had seen many Spirit Ancestors before and immediately recognized the aura.
Now he was certain, Wu Qi had truly gone to seek an opportunity with Dugu Bo.
But what kind of opportunity could allow a Spirit Master to break through so many Levels in such a short time?
"Let's go. We'll talk in the dorm."
On the way, Wu Qi was also thinking about whether he should give the immortal herbs to Ning Rongrong.
At present, Ning Fengzhi's attitude was unclear. If Ning Rongrong's martial soul evolved and Ning Fengzhi later went back on his word, wouldn't that be helping an enemy?
After thinking it through, Wu Qi felt that Ning Fengzhi might not have a choice.
In the original timeline, Ning Fengzhi fully supported Tang San mainly to build ties with Tang Hao and, by extension, the Clear Sky Sect.
Earlier, Ning Rongrong had unintentionally revealed that Ning Fengzhi had already given up on the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. The unity of the three upper sects had effectively collapsed.
With no partner left to cooperate with, this was a good opportunity to win Ning Fengzhi over.
With that thought, upon arriving at the dormitory, Wu Qi instructed, "Old man, keep watch outside for a while. Don't let anyone get close."
After entering the room, Changkong kept glancing toward the door. "Damn, Brother Wu, what exactly did you do to make someone like the Poison Douluo follow your orders?"
Ning Rongrong was just as curious.
It was said across the continent that Dugu Bo was arrogant and unruly, never giving face to anyone, so how could he so easily listen to a junior?
There had to be more to it.
Wu Qi spread his hands. "Senior Dugu Bo and I are just friends. Friends help each other, that's all."
His expression turned serious as he continued, "Let's talk business. On this trip, the old man and I found a treasure land and obtained quite a few immortal herbs. It's just a pity, after we took the medicinal materials, that place was completely ruined."
Wu Qi didn't reveal the truth, naturally because he was worried the two might leak the information.
The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was a strategic location. If the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect found out, they would definitely try to seize it.
As for the Spirit Hall, they might follow his opinion on the surface, but secretly they would also want to take control of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
Moreover, the Spirit Hall wasn't completely airtight. If Bibi Dong found out, the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well would certainly be lost.
Ning Rongrong sighed at the loss and didn't investigate further.
Changkong may have guessed Wu Qi's thoughts, but the two were close friends and wouldn't expose each other.
As he spoke, Wu Qi placed an immortal herb on the table.
For Changkong, both fire-attributed and body-strengthening immortal herbs were suitable.
Wu Qi had chosen the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum for him. After absorption, it could greatly enhance his physique.
"Brother Wu, I won't say thanks for such a great favor. If you ever need me, just say the word," Changkong said seriously.
Wu Qi kicked him lightly. "What, if I didn't give you an immortal herb, we wouldn't be brothers anymore?"
Changkong scratched his head, grinning as he took the immortal herb.
"When absorbing it, use your spirit power to guide the medicinal effects into your body. Don't resist it."
Changkong nodded seriously, then found a quiet room in Wu Qi's dormitory and began secluded cultivation to absorb the immortal herb.
When Wu Qi took out the Qiluo Tulip, a faint fragrance instantly filled the room.
"This is called Qiluo Tulip. It absorbs the essence of the sun and moon as it grows and carries an elegant aura. Rongrong, this will be of great help to you. Take it and absorb it. Your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda martial soul might even evolve because of it."
"Evolve?" A glint flashed in Ning Rongrong's eyes as she took the immortal herb.
Immortal herbs also had different grades, and the Qiluo Tulip was definitely among the best. In contrast, the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum could only be considered mid-grade at most.
"Rongrong, go absorb it. I'll guard you. After absorbing the immortal herb, your spirit power Level will definitely break through Level 30. Then we'll take you to hunt a Spirit Beast."
"Thank you, Brother Wu Qi."
After thanking him, Ning Rongrong entered another room and began absorbing the immortal herb.
A moment later, Dugu Bo walked in.
"They both have good talent, especially that little girl from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. After absorbing the immortal herb, her future achievements will be limitless."
Dugu Bo felt a sense of regret.
Long ago, he had discovered the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to withstand the poison of his martial soul.
Unfortunately, he had once possessed a mountain of treasure without realizing it, missing the best time to absorb the immortal herbs.
"Old man, I have something to tell you. I'm worried Dugu Yan might suffer a loss."
Dugu Bo put away his thoughts. Since it concerned his granddaughter, he had to listen carefully.
