Chapter 100: Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect Treasury, Douluo Continent Gossip Records
Outside Heaven Dou City, in a small forest—
Bone Douluo watched the departing figures of Fifteen Ton Douluo, Falling Devil Douluo, and the others, his gaze flickering.
Ning Fengzhi walked over to Sword Douluo and spoke quietly.
He understood clearly—Spirit Hall's strength was growing more and more formidable. To say they had no ambition to dominate the continent would be something no one believed.
This attempt to obstruct him from obtaining the immortal herbs and evolving his martial soul was the best proof.
Sword Douluo responded calmly.
At that moment, Dugu Bo walked over. Seeing the three of them looking emotional, he said impatiently:
As Ning Fengzhi noticed him, he was momentarily stunned before clasping his hands respectfully.
Facing the thanks, Dugu Bo waved it off.
If he hadn't acted earlier, the three of them would have been seriously injured at the very least. If Fifteen Ton Douluo and Falling Devil Douluo had been more ruthless, they might have even been killed.
It was no exaggeration to say he had saved their lives.
Perhaps not expecting him to be so direct, the three were briefly stunned before replying.
Dugu Bo nodded and said nothing more.
Nearby, Bone Douluo began constructing a teleportation gate.
Sword Douluo leaned against a tree, closing his eyes to rest.
Ning Fengzhi observed Dugu Bo, his gaze flickering as if calculating something.
Soon, a pitch-black portal appeared before them.
Bone Douluo let out a breath, wiping the sweat from his forehead.
Constructing a long-distance teleportation gate capable of transporting multiple people was no easy task.
Moreover, the stronger the users, the more stable the gate needed to be—meaning greater soul power consumption.
That was why he had prepared a portal in advance.
Hearing him speak, Dugu Bo and the others approached.
Dugu Bo examined the portal.
From the front, nothing beyond it could be seen. From the side or rear, it appeared nonexistent at a distance—strangely mysterious.
Ning Fengzhi smiled.
Thinking of absorbing the immortal herbs and evolving his martial soul—a dream the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had pursued for centuries—his heart burned with anticipation.
He called out to Dugu Bo and stepped into the portal first.
Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo did not follow immediately. Instead, they looked at Dugu Bo and gestured politely.
Ning Fengzhi entering first was already a gesture of trust—if they rushed ahead, it would seem discourteous.
Dugu Bo didn't hesitate and stepped in.
Only after he entered did Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo follow.
The black portal closed silently behind them.
The forest returned to peace.
Meanwhile…
Fifteen Ton Douluo, Falling Devil Douluo, Chrysanthemum Douluo, and Ghost Douluo were already on their way back to Spirit Hall.
Although the mission had failed, they still had to report back.
Midway, Fifteen Ton Douluo suddenly asked Chrysanthemum Douluo about Dugu Bo.
Thinking of that man, both brothers felt irritated.
If not for that so-called "Dark Demon Douluo," they would have already secured the immortal herbs.
Chrysanthemum Douluo hesitated before answering.
Falling Devil Douluo couldn't help but add his thoughts.
Fifteen Ton Douluo spoke indifferently, then joked lightly.
Falling Devil Douluo snorted, unconcerned.
As for Grand Worship: Qian Daoliu, his indifferent, almost detached attitude was well known among them.
Seeing that Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo also didn't know Dugu Bo's origins, the brothers said no more.
Each harbored their own thoughts as they continued their journey.
Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect
Upon returning, Ning Fengzhi couldn't wait to absorb the immortal herbs.
Bone Douluo followed to guard him.
Sword Douluo, meanwhile, brought Dugu Bo to the sect's treasury.
The sect itself was built upon a mountain.
The treasury was located halfway up the rear slope, on a protruding platform overlooking a bottomless abyss.
Before them stood a massive stone door.
Dugu Bo glanced around curiously and noticed a token-shaped slot carved into the mountain wall.
Sword Douluo took out a token and inserted it.
With a rumbling sound, the heavy stone door slowly rose.
They stepped inside as it closed behind them.
The moment he entered, Dugu Bo was stunned.
The treasury was enormous.
Before him stretched a golden ocean—entirely composed of gold soul coins and countless jewels.
Their brilliance illuminated the entire space.
Even someone like Dugu Bo, who had little interest in wealth, was deeply shaken.
So the rumors were true—the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect really was rich enough to rival a nation.
For a brief moment, he even felt the urge to rob the place.
Luminous pearls and gemstones were scattered everywhere, perfectly embodying overwhelming wealth.
Along the walls stood shelves displaying rarer items.
The first shelf held soul tools and valuable treasures.
The second shelf contained several boxes—rectangular and round.
From their appearance alone, it was clear they were extraordinary.
Sword Douluo confirmed it:
"These boxes contain soul bones collected over the years. You may choose one as payment for the immortal herb."
Dugu Bo nodded and opened a rectangular box.
Inside lay a ruby-like arm bone radiating fiery soul power.
A fire-attributed arm bone—barely reaching ten thousand years.
He closed it immediately.
It didn't suit him or anyone around him.
No matter how valuable, compatibility mattered most.
A mismatched attribute would weaken the soul bone's ability.
That was why attribute-less soul bones were more valuable.
He opened another box—a leg bone emitting faint green light, also just over ten thousand years.
Now he understood why Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo hadn't absorbed these.
At their level, such soul bones were nearly useless.
The remaining boxes were no better.
Fortunately, one contained a head bone.
It increased mental strength by thirty percent and granted a mental attack skill.
But even so, its power likely couldn't match Dugu Bo's Purple Demon Eye.
Still—something was better than nothing.
He selected it.
Next, he examined the soul tool shelf.
Most were storage tools—belts, rings, bracelets, necklaces.
There were many, but none impressed him.
If he wanted such items, he could easily buy them outside.
He felt somewhat disappointed.
No wonder they had brought him here so openly.
Then, a shelf in the corner caught his attention.
Old books.
Dugu Bo pointed and asked.
Sword Douluo explained they were left by a previous sect master.
Dugu Bo nodded and browsed.
He picked up one titled Douluo Continent Gossip Records.
[T/N: me personally I would choose this]
Inside were all kinds of strange and sensational stories.
One entry caught his eye:
It recorded that Grand Worship: Qian Daoliu of Spirit Hall and Tang Chen, leader of the Upper Three Sects, had once fought fiercely.
Mountains collapsed, the sky dimmed—it was said they fought over a woman.
Dugu Bo thought to himself—
Could that woman be Bo Saixi?
To uncover such secrets… impressive.
Without prior knowledge, few would know of their relationship.
Another entry mentioned the Elephant Armored Sect's leader and questionable habits.
Dugu Bo closed the book speechlessly.
So the previous sect master had such hobbies…
He picked up Records of Soul Beasts, skimmed it, then put it down.
Just as he was about to leave—
His pupils suddenly contracted.
In the corner of the shelf lay a dusty book:
"Theory of Body Martial Soul Evolution."
It had clearly been untouched for a long time.
[T/N: nevermind there's a better choice]
