Chapter 89 — Simulation Ends, Choosing Rewards
[Heavenly Mysterious Skill, Jade Hands, Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, Purple Demon Eye, Golden Thirteen Tridents (Divine Skill), Poseidon's Undergarments…]
Looking at the final reward, Dugu Bo fell silent.
What exactly did this system take him for?
A dignified Title Douluo like him—how could he possibly be such a shameless person?
The first few rewards needed no explanation. They were standard techniques from Tang Sect, the same secret arts used by Tang San.
They were decent, but nothing extraordinary.
Still, if he wanted to deceive that brat Tang San convincingly, he would need to obtain some Tang Sect techniques.
As for the Golden Thirteen Tridents—the divine skill passed down from the Sea God to Tang San…
It was undeniably powerful.
But right now, he didn't even have a proper weapon. Choosing it seemed a bit useless.
…Wait.
A weapon?
If he couldn't inherit the Sea God's divine position, then could he take the Sea God Trident instead?
That might actually be possible.
The trident weighed a hundred thousand jin—without divine power, no ordinary person could even lift it.
But he was different.
He still possessed a strength-type martial soul—his Body Martial Soul.
Once he attached soul rings to his second martial soul, there was a real chance he could wield it.
And at that point, the Golden Thirteen Tridents would finally show their true power.
A divine skill was a divine skill, after all.
After a brief moment of thought, Dugu Bo made his choice without hesitation:
Purple Demon Eye and Golden Thirteen Tridents.
Among Tang Sect techniques, the Purple Demon Eye was arguably the most useful.
It enhanced vision and strengthened spiritual power—extremely practical.
[Distributing rewards…]
The crystal panel floating above his spiritual sea suddenly released two beams of light, which merged directly into it.
In an instant, like sudden enlightenment, the cultivation methods for Purple Demon Eye and Golden Thirteen Tridents appeared clearly in Dugu Bo's mind.
He slowly opened his eyes and exhaled a turbid breath.
But instead of focusing on his new abilities, he fell into deep thought.
In a few days, the Spirit Hall's consecrates would likely come knocking.
And when that happened, his twin martial souls would inevitably be exposed.
Worse still—
If the Spirit Hall discovered the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, they would never let him go.
Even though he had already taken the immortal herbs, the traces remained.
Anyone observant could tell that many immortal herbs once grew there.
So the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well must not be exposed.
Before that, he had to act—he needed to divert the Spirit Hall's attention away from himself.
Perhaps…
He could push the Upper Three Sects to the frontlines and let them take the pressure.
As it happened, he still had an immortal herb he didn't need.
He could throw it out as bait.
Let the Spirit Hall and one of the Upper Three Sects—the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect—clash over it.
Dugu Bo was confident.
Once that immortal herb appeared, Ning Fengzhi would go mad for it.
And the Spirit Hall would definitely try everything to stop him from obtaining it.
According to the simulation, those two consecrates would arrive in five days.
Perfect timing to set everything up.
With his plan decided, Dugu Bo quickly entered cultivation again.
In the end, his strength was still insufficient.
If he were level 99, would he even need to fear the Spirit Hall?
Whoever dared come—he'd just kill them.
Time passed quietly.
The night faded, and dawn broke.
When the first ray of light appeared on the horizon, Dugu Bo was already seated atop a mountain peak, gazing at the faint trace of purple qi in the distance.
A flash of violet light flickered in his eyes.
After finishing his cultivation of the Purple Demon Eye, he drifted down lightly and stood at the edge of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
He scanned the area once more.
Not a single herb was left behind.
Satisfied, he turned and left.
Sooner or later, he would have to leave this place anyway.
Even with the poison array guarding the valley, true experts could break through it with effort.
Once that happened, the location would be exposed.
But as long as he had already taken the immortal herbs, it didn't matter.
As for the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well…
He would reclaim it eventually.
After completing his training, Dugu Bo flew toward Heaven Dou City.
He needed to make arrangements.
And assume a new identity.
The forests below blurred past at incredible speed as wind roared past his ears.
His mind was calm—perfectly composed.
Before long, he arrived at Heaven Dou City.
The city was bustling—carriages, crowds, merchants shouting, endless activity.
But Dugu Bo didn't linger.
He headed straight for the Heaven Dou Auction House.
At the entrance, it was as lively as ever.
Even Dugu Bo couldn't help but inwardly admire it—it truly lived up to being the largest auction house in the entire Heaven Dou Empire.
After presenting his VIP card, a hostess quickly led him through a special passage.
As they walked, she asked softly,
"Honored guest, are you here to buy or sell?"
Dugu Bo replied indifferently,
"Bring me your manager."
The hostess didn't dare refuse.
She brought him to a lounge.
"Please wait here for a moment."
Then she hurried off.
The card Dugu Bo showed was the highest-tier VIP card—she couldn't afford any negligence.
Dugu Bo ignored everything and simply closed his eyes to rest.
Click—
After a while, the door opened.
An elderly man with graying hair and glasses stepped in.
The moment he entered, his gaze locked onto Dugu Bo, carefully sizing him up.
Though the face was unfamiliar—and young-looking—the aura was anything but ordinary.
The old man bowed slightly.
"I am Fu Zhuren. May I ask what you wish to auction, sir?"
Dugu Bo opened his eyes slowly.
"Manager Fu, no need for formalities."
He got straight to the point.
"I'm here to auction something."
With a flick of his wrist, a jade box appeared in his hand.
He opened it.
Instantly, a rich tulip fragrance filled the room.
He handed it over.
"This item is called—Beautiful Silk Tulip."
Elegant. Noble.
"Consuming it allows one to absorb the essence of heaven and earth, the brilliance of the sun and moon."
His gaze carried deeper meaning.
"For treasure-type martial souls like the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, this herb provides perfect synergy."
"It can even…"
"Evolve it."
In the original story, Ning Rongrong used this immortal herb to evolve her Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.
If this news spread—
Ning Fengzhi would go insane over it.
And the Spirit Hall would never allow him to obtain it easily.
Since the herb was useless to him anyway…
He might as well trade it to the absurdly wealthy Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect in exchange for resources.
And at the same time—
Shift the Spirit Hall's attention onto them.
