But that's probably no longer the case. After being detoxified, Dugu Bo is no longer the weakest Title Douluo on the continent.
Even if Sword Douluo were to make a move, he might still be forced to trade one for one.
At this moment, Ning Fengzhi believed that the sect Mu Ci wanted to establish was even more prestigious than the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect.
Even without including Spirit Douluo of the Spirit Hall, there are at least two Title Douluos on the surface.
Not to mention Mu Ci's unpredictable alchemy skills; who knows if a few more new titles will emerge in a few years?
Outside the restaurant.
Xue Qinghe looked at Mu Ci with some unease.
"Young man, won't it cause problems if you just give him the prescription like this? And won't you lose money refining the pills?"
Mu Ci gently patted Xue Qinghe's shoulder and smiled.
"How could that be? Even if I gave them a thousand years, they still couldn't refine the pill. As for losing money, the list I gave them is enough to refine it five times."
Mu Ci thought to herself, isn't it common knowledge in the alchemy world that five portions of medicinal materials are needed to refine one pill? Douluo Continent will also have to face the unspoken rules of the cultivation world in the future.
Xue Qinghe breathed a sigh of relief, as long as Mu Ci didn't suffer any losses.
Suddenly, Xue Qinghe remembered something else and said to Mu Ci, "Little brother, help me refine a kind of medicine these next few days. It won't work with Yang Wushuang, so I can only rely on you."
Mu Ci nodded indifferently, without asking where it would be used.
After all, it's normal for someone pretending to be the crown prince to have some secrets.
"Sister Xue, can you handle the arrangements for establishing the sect?"
Xue Qinghe smiled at Mu Ci and raised his right hand to punch the other person's chest twice.
"Why are you being so polite with me? Don't worry, I'll take full responsibility for this matter, and I'll also get the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to help."
“You’ve already helped them refine pills and evolve their martial spirits, so how can just accepting medicinal herbs as payment be enough? They also need to contribute manpower, material resources, and financial resources. Otherwise, wouldn’t that be too cheap for them?”
After bidding farewell to Xue Qinghe, Mu Ci and Dugu Bo returned to the Dugu residence.
As soon as he entered, the old butler hurriedly came forward to greet him.
"Master, Young Master Mu Ci, Mr. Ye and Miss Lingling have arrived and are being entertained by Miss Yan Yan in the hall."
Dugu Bo raised an eyebrow, a hint of joy appearing on his face.
"Old Ye and Lingling are here? It's probably because Lingling's martial soul problem has been resolved. Let's go, Xiao Ci, let's go take a look."
Mu Ci nodded with a smile and quickly walked with Dugu Bo to the hall.
"The arrival of distinguished guests today has greatly enhanced the prestige of my humble abode."
Before Dugu Bo even entered the door, his hearty laughter had already filled the hall.
"Grandpa and Aci are back."
Upon hearing this, Dugu Yan's pretty face lit up with joy, and she quickly got up to greet her.
As guests, Ye Renxin and Ye Lingling couldn't just sit there, so they immediately stood up with Dugu Yan.
But before the three of them could take two steps, Mu Ci and Dugu Bo strode in.
"Please sit down. There's no need to be so polite in my house."
Everyone sat down again, and Ye Renxin looked at Mu Ci with a smile, his expression somewhat excited.
"This must be my young friend Mu Ci. I've heard of your reputation while traveling around, and I've carefully read all the works published by the Spirit Hall. I've long wanted to meet you."
"But I never expected our meeting to be like this. I really have to thank you for what happened regarding my martial spirit and Lingling."
Upon hearing Ye Renxin's praise and gratitude, Mu Ci, who was sitting next to Dugu Yan, quickly waved her hand.
"You flatter me, sir. This matter was merely a coincidence. If I must thank you, I should thank Yan Yan. It was she who came to me about Miss Lingling's problem."
"How is Miss Lingling's martial spirit now?"
Ye Renxin smiled and stroked his gray beard, then winked at Ye Lingling.
"Thank you all, thank you all. Whether it's the friendship between Yanyan and Lingling or the fact that young friend Muci was able to solve the problem, I want to thank you, Lingling."
Seeing her grandfather's signal, Ye Lingling's soul power surged.
Ye Lingling held a pinkish-white begonia flower that radiated a platinum-gold light in her hands, with three soul rings—yellow, yellow, and purple—constantly swirling around it.
"My current soul power is level 33. My martial soul has transformed into the Holy Light Begonia. Not only has it lost its original curse, but it has also gained the power of light."
"For dark and evil attributes, my healing can be converted into equivalent damage at my will."
"Thank you, Mu Ci."
Mu Ci nodded in satisfaction when Ye Lingling recounted the changes in her martial soul.
"Very good. In addition to breaking the curse, it has also gained a certain amount of attack power."
However, Dugu Yan looked a little sullen and pouted as she said to Ye Lingling, "Then Lingling, aren't you being very controlling of me now?"
Ye Lingling's once somewhat dull silver eyes have become much more lively, curving slightly into small crescents as she speaks with a smile.
"Yanyan, what are you thinking? How could I hurt you?"
Dugu Yan smiled and moved from Mu Ci's side to her best friend's side, then suddenly said to the group.
"Grandpas, Aci, I'm taking Lingling to her room to play. You two chat."
Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo waved his hand dismissively.
It's normal that the two girls don't like this kind of occasion.
After the two women happily left arm in arm, Ye Renxin said to Mu Ci, "I heard that young friend Mu Ci wants to establish a sect?"
Mu Ci nodded to Ye Renxin and said, "Some things are not easy to handle. It would be better to establish a sect to deal with external matters."
"Then I wonder if I could find a position in your sect, young friend?"
Mu Ci was somewhat surprised to hear Ye Renxin's words and couldn't help but ask, "Is Elder Ye no longer traveling around the empire?"
Ye Renxin said with some helplessness, "My purpose in traveling around the empire is actually the same as that of the old poison master, which is to solve the problem of the family's martial spirit."
"Now that the problem is solved, I'm getting old, and I'll find a place to watch my granddaughter grow up. That will make my life complete."
"What? You don't want me to go to your sect?"
Mu Ci quickly replied, "How could that be? It's an honor to have you here. Elder Ye, we will definitely reserve the position of sect elder for you."
Upon hearing this, Ye Renxin burst into laughter.
"It's a word."
Dugu Yan's boudoir.
At this moment, Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling were lying on the bed without any regard for their image, snuggling together.
"Lingling, what do you think of Aci?"
Dugu Yan's words reminded Ye Lingling of Mu Ci, who was still chatting with her grandfather in the hall, and her pretty face blushed slightly.
"He's handsome, talented, and good in many ways. Why are you asking me this question, Yan Yan?"
Upon hearing Ye Lingling's evaluation, Dugu Yan used her waist to flip over and looked at Ye Lingling to the side.
"Lingling, would you like to be with Aci?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Lingling couldn't help but feel flustered, her beautiful silver eyes blinking rapidly.
"Yanyan, why do you say that? Isn't Muci your boyfriend?"
Upon hearing this, Dugu Yan pouted, her red lips slightly resentful.
"Who told me to like a womanizer? Aci isn't my only boyfriend."
But if Lingling and I are together, we can definitely keep his heart firmly in our grasp.
Hearing Dugu Yan's explanation, Ye Lingling's face flushed even more, and she whispered in Dugu Yan's ear, "Then I'll give it a try?"
Ye Lingling's answer made Dugu Yan very happy, so she hugged the other's soft waist and kept rubbing her face against the other's.
She knew her best friend's answer must have meant something by it, otherwise she wouldn't have agreed to such an outrageous thing.
"Bestie, for life."
Ye Lingling nodded, blushing. Although she felt there was something wrong with her best friend's words, she couldn't quite put her finger on what it was.
Chapter 72 Glorious Street
Tian Dou City, Brilliant Avenue.
This is the most luxurious and extravagant money-spending den in the entire Tian Dou City and even the entire Empire.
Beautiful women of all ages, from teenage girls to young women, from sweet and charming girl next door to aloof and elegant mature woman like an iceberg.
You can find what you're looking for here, and you can also find what you're looking for here.
You might even encounter all sorts of catgirls, foxgirls, and dragongirls here.
For this reason, countless nobles of all ranks and young masters from various Soul Master families flock to this place.
People would even travel thousands of miles from the imperial borders to stroll along Glorious Street.
In the most upscale clubhouse in the middle of the street.
"Your Highness Avalanche, what illness has your elder brother been suffering from these past two months? Why does he bite anyone he grabs?!"
A richly dressed red-haired man spoke with a tone full of complaints to Xue Beng, a blond youth with a sullen face, beside him.
"Yes, yes!" "That's right, your older brother arrested several minor nobles I knew."
After the red-haired nobleman finished speaking, the others sitting around him began to complain about the avalanche.
As Xue Beng drank, he listened to the wailing and complaining of his cronies beside him, his face full of impatience.
Suddenly, Xue Beng smashed the wine glass in his hand to the ground, his face contorted in a ferocious and terrifying expression, with veins bulging.
"Enough! Do you think I don't know anything about what you're talking about?"
"What can I do? Ever since Xue Qinghe cured my father, he has also presented a miraculous elixir to that Mu Ci."
"Now you spend all your time indulging in pleasure in the harem, leaving all the affairs of the court to Xue Qinghe. What am I supposed to do?"
