…
The next morning.
After practicing for a night for the first time, Xuan Ming opened his eyes and felt that his whole body was much more unblocked.
"You have good talent." Dugu Bo said lightly.
"Talent?" Xuan Ming looked puzzled.
"What do you mean? Isn't talent based on the level of innate soul power?"
"Talent encompasses so much, and innate soul power is only the most superficial one." Dugu Bo said.
"When practicing, the efficiency of soul power circulation is the determining factor in the soul master's practice speed."
"As for the innate soul power, it represents the upper limit of the soul master's cultivation potential. Just like the height of a fountain will not exceed its source, the height of a soul master's cultivation will not exceed the limit of his potential."
"Can this potential be changed?" Xuan Ming asked.
"Of course." Dugu Bo said.
"Many rare treasures have the ability to change the spiritual master's cultivation potential. However, medicine is poisonous. Everything has its pros and cons. Although those things can improve the spiritual master's cultivation potential, they will also bring some side effects."
"Moreover, soul master training is like building a house. Potential is the foundation of the house. When you first start building it, it's not particularly difficult to move the foundation, but when the house is built higher, it becomes difficult to move the foundation."
"The earlier you use the treasures that improve your talents, the better the effect will be."
"If you use it too late, it won't be of much use."
"Oh..." Xuan Ming nodded.
"Oh what? It's daybreak already, why don't you go and make some medicine!" Dugu Bo snorted coldly.
"oh."
…
After a lot of twists and turns, another day passed. It was evening and Dugu Bo drank the last bowl of medicine.
Xuan Ming could see that Dugu Bo's injuries were recovering faster and faster, because his aura was becoming deeper and deeper, and he no longer had the same sense of forcing himself as before.
The medicines in this old poisoner's magic bag are all treasures for healing.
Buzz!
An invisible wave of soul power suddenly exploded and directly extinguished the fire, and Xuan Ming, who was meditating nearby, was blown away.
Dugu Bo opened his eyes, stood up, and a cold green light flashed in his eyes.
"Is your injury healed?" Xuan Ming walked back speechlessly.
"It's about 70% ready." Dugu Bo said.
If this kid hadn't helped him make the medicine, he would have to wait at least three days to recover from his injury.
If Yue Guan and Gui Mei catch up with him while he is recuperating, he will have to force himself to use his internal energy, or else the backlash poison will erupt.
"Then can I leave?" Xuan Ming asked.
"Let's go?" Dugu Bo put his hands behind his back and turned around.
"I taught you how to practice, and I can be considered your guide. Do you want to leave?"
The meaning is very clear. Boy, I am a Titled Douluo. It will be a great honor for you to have me as your master!
Hurry up!
"Aren't you being hunted?" Xuan Ming said.
"Wouldn't it be a burden to you if I stayed with you?"
If it weren't for Yue Guan and the ghosts chasing him, he would have climbed up the pole.
But now Dugu Bo is being hunted down by those two, the Titled Douluo!
If he is caught up, will Dugu Bo be able to take care of him? With the character of this old poisoner, he might be used as a hidden weapon at any time!
"This is a problem..."
Dugu Bo frowned.
Under the current circumstances, we cannot go back to Sunset Forest. If the location of our lair is exposed, we will be completely doomed.
He was no match for Kikui in a one-on-one fight. If those two men hadn't been afraid of his snake venom, he wouldn't have been able to escape.
Yue Guan and Gui Mei chased him all the way from the Xing Luo Empire. Although he temporarily got rid of the two guys, the Spirit Hall had spies everywhere, and the two guys would soon find his location.
This guy is so conspicuous...
"Hmm?" Dugu Bo's eyes condensed, and he grabbed Xuan Ming and shot out.
"Old poison! Don't run away!"
A delicate cry was heard, and sharp golden petal-shaped flying knives swept down from the sky.
"Damn it!" Dugu Bo's face looked extremely ugly.
He had just recovered his strength, and in order to suppress the backlash of the poison, his soul power exploded.
These two people have actually caught up to the area!
"Old Poisonous Creature, aren't you tired after running all the way from Xingluo to here?" Yue Guan's speechless voice came over.
"Why do you have to do this? Wouldn't it be better to just join the Spirit Hall and enjoy wealth and glory?"
"Wealth and glory? What a joke! Are you going to be a dog for the Spirit Hall like you guys?" Dugu Bo said sarcastically.
"When Qianxunji was killed by Tang Hao, you two didn't die with him. I guess you were loyal to Bibi Dong, right?"
"You!" Yue Guan's murderous intent exploded after being stabbed in the sore spot, and his attacks became more and more fierce.
Are you stupid?
Xuan Ming could hardly hold back his cursing.
You've been beaten up like this, and you're still talking big? You can show off if you want, but don't take me with you!
"Senior, I'm a burden to you. Put me down and run." Xuan Ming said.
They want to kill you, not me! Don't implicate me!
"Boy, I have always been clear about gratitude and grudges. Since you have helped me, I will not abandon you." Dugu Bo said.
"Besides, my Nine-Section Jade is still in your hands."
You little brat! Do you really think I can't tell what you're thinking? Xuan Ming's expression was extremely ugly.
He really wanted to give this old poisonous creature a couple of bites now!
But I'm afraid of being slapped to death!
"Senior, I helped you and you taught me how to practice. We owe each other nothing, so I won't implicate you." Xuan Ming said gritting his teeth.
Don't implicate me!
If anything unexpected happened with those golden petal flying knives behind him, he would be turned into a mess in seconds!
"…"
Dugu Bo said nothing more and ran away at full speed.
Yue Guan and Gui Mei, who were chasing behind, really couldn't chase too closely. After all, they could sense that Dugu Bo's injuries had recovered a lot. If they chased too closely, they might force this old poisonous creature to go crazy and explode, which would not be pleasant for them either!
"Old evil creature, what's the point of running away again? Even if you run away today, what about tomorrow?" Yue Guan started to persuade him to surrender again.
"If you offend the Spirit Hall, there will be no place for you on this continent!"
"Have you forgotten the Haotian Sect?"
"How dare you mention the Haotian Sect?" Dugu Bo said disdainfully.
"You wanted to kill people and steal the treasure, but you were killed instead because you were not as skilled as them. You still have the nerve to bite back and denounce the Haotian Sect?"
"Everyone says that I don't have the demeanor of a strong man. Compared to the Spirit Hall, I am still ashamed of myself!"
"Old Poisonous Man, no matter what the reason is, the Haotian Sect has been severely damaged, and the reality is to close the mountain and avoid the world!" Yue Guan said coldly.
"Don't expect the other companies to help you!"
"If you don't surrender, you will die!"
"…"
"Why don't you surrender?" Xuan Ming said.
"Bullshit! They are determined to kill me now!" Dugu Bo said sadly.
There is only one chance to recruit someone! If you don't agree the first time, even if you compromise later, it will definitely be a hidden danger!
Even if he regrets and surrenders now, the Spirit Hall will definitely not tolerate him!
