Chapter 31 Intimidating Dugu Bo, Conditions
Seeing Ling Yuan obediently walk behind Qin Mu, Dugu Bo felt as if he had gotten himself into big trouble this time.
He didn't know about others, but he knew Ling Yuan very well.
The elder in the Spirit Hall who is most capable of acting recklessly, aside from some powerful senior members of the Spirit Hall, no one else should even think about ordering her around.
But this same person actually acted like a subordinate in front of Qin Mu.
Who exactly is Qin Mu?
"I have no grudge against your Spirit Hall. Today's events are a misunderstanding."
Although Dugu Bo acts solely on his own whims and leaves no room for future trouble, he is by no means a stubborn fool.
Dugu Bo had no confidence in his ability to face a force like the Spirit Hall.
Even just dealing with the spirit kite right in front of him was extremely troublesome for Dugu Bo.
The Spirit Hall has more than twenty such Title Douluos.
"I wonder if you would be so kind as to show mercy?"
Faced with this situation, Dugu Bo softened his tone, but Ling Yuan was not prepared to let him off so easily.
"You think it's a misunderstanding just because you say so? You think you can just raise your hand like that? What do you take the Spirit Hall for?!"
"Let me tell you, Qin Mu is the Pope's personal disciple."
"If anything happens to him, the only outcome will be the extermination of all people with the surname Dugu on the continent!"
She wasn't a good-tempered person to begin with, and if she hadn't arrived early, Qin Mu would probably be in grave danger.
Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo's expression turned even more unpleasant.
He guessed that Qin Mu's identity was different, but he didn't expect that he was Bibi Dong's disciple.
At this moment, Dugu Bo experienced fear for the first time.
It wasn't because he was afraid of dying; he was just afraid of implicating Dugu Yan.
"Senior Dugu, do you still remember the deal I mentioned at the beginning?"
Qin Mu remained seated, seemingly unperturbed, and smiled lightly at Dugu Bo. But at that moment, Qin Mu's smile sent chills down Dugu Bo's spine.
"I was the one negotiating the deal with you before, but now you are no longer qualified to do business with me."
Qin Mu said the same thing to Dugu Bo, making Dugu Bo feel humiliated as well.
"Please do as you please. I am no match for you; kill me or torture me as you see fit!"
Stubbornness was Dugu Bo's last act of defiance, but he had no other choice.
"First, you should have a soul tool called the Ruyi Treasure Pouch, right?"
With the Ruyi Treasure Pouch, which can hold living creatures, Qin Mu can safely store these Immortal Herbs inside.
Dugu Bo was slightly taken aback. Although he didn't know how Qin Mu knew he possessed the Ruyi Treasure Pouch, the price wasn't too heavy for him.
With a flick of his wrist, a blue leather pouch, resembling a sachet, appeared in Dugu Bo's hand.
Holding the Ruyi Treasure Pouch, he threw it at Qin Mu, but it was intercepted by Ling Yuan halfway. After confirming that there was no problem, Ling Yuan handed it over to Qin Mu.
Playing with the blue leather pouch in his hand, Qin Mu tried putting an Immortal Herb inside. As described in the original novel, it could indeed hold living things. Only then did he hang the Ruyi Treasure Pouch on his waist.
"Secondly, I want all the Immortal Herbs in the Ice and Fire Eyes. Otherwise, you shall never set foot in the Ice and Fire Eyes again."
If the first condition was acceptable to Dugu Bo, the second requirement was somewhat difficult for him.
You should know that he had only just learned the method to control his poison, and among the medicinal materials needed, there were several extremely rare ones that happened to grow in the Ice and Fire Eyes.
In addition, the environment here can precisely suppress the effects of the deadly poison in one's body.
It could be said that losing the Ice and Fire Eyes was no different from death for Dugu Bo.
But if we don't agree now, things will be hard to resolve amicably.
Seeing that Dugu Bo remained silent, Ling Yuan immediately stepped forward to exert pressure, but then Qin Mu's words rang out again.
"Third, I want you to join the Spirit Hall."
If the second condition put Dugu Bo in a dilemma, then the third condition was completely unacceptable to him.
Even Ling Yuan, who was standing to the side, looked at Qin Mu in disbelief, unable to believe that he would make such a request.
You should know that what Dugu Bo fears most is having his freedom restricted.
It's better to kill him than to have him join the Spirit Hall.
"Ha, I cannot accept such a request!"
Although surprised by Qin Mu's request, Ling Yuan instinctively released her Spirit upon hearing Dugu Bo's refusal, directly applying the pressure of her level 95 soul power to Dugu Bo.
Dugu Bo also released his Spirit, with nine soul rings of the same color as Ling Yuan circling around his body.
A major battle is about to begin.
"Senior Dugu, you actually have another option."
Upon hearing Qin Mu's words, the two who were about to make a move slowly withdrew their Spirits.
Dugu Bo's emotions were in turmoil at this moment, because every decision he made now concerned the life and death of himself and Dugu Yan.
"It's called another option, but isn't it also the only option?"
Dugu Bo then realized that the conditions Qin Mu had mentioned earlier were simply a way of oppressing him.
He never intended for me to agree to those three conditions!
Dugu Bo felt completely controlled and at Qin Mu's mercy.
Seeing that Dugu Bo was already in a dilemma, Qin Mu did not continue to make things difficult for him.
"First of all, I can promise you that you can still cultivate here, regarding the Ice and Fire Eyes."
"But the premise is that you can't reveal it to outsiders."
"You naturally understand the reason."
Qin Mu's words this time put Dugu Bo at ease.
Before Dugu Bo could even breathe a sigh of relief, Qin Mu's next two points made him gasp in shock.
"Secondly, I will only take the medicinal herbs I need from here. As for the poisons, they are naturally yours."
"Thirdly, I can also help you and your granddaughter treat the toxins in your bodies!"
After stating his two points, Qin Mu quietly observed Dugu Bo's reaction.
At this moment, Dugu Bo simply didn't believe it, because the difference between Qin Mu's behavior before and after was truly too great.
What shocked Dugu Bo even more was the third point.
You should know that Dugu Bo had searched for every kind of Soul Master he could find, whether they were healing or food-type, but no one could cure his poison.
It can be said that the first two points combined are not as important as the third point.
Now, Qin Mu actually said he could help him and Dugu Yan treat the poison in their bodies. How could he not be pleasantly surprised?
He knew clearly that because of the poison, his current cultivation level was probably the limit, and Dugu Yan, because of her Spirit, would not be able to live past thirty.
If the poison can be completely cured, then what awaits him is not only the ability to continue breaking through in soul power, but more importantly, Dugu Yan will not have to suffer from the torment of the poison like he did, and will be able to live a good life!
Dugu Bo's breathing became increasingly erratic, and his throat became extremely dry.
But then, as if realizing something, Dugu Bo looked at Qin Mu with somewhat red eyes.
"Tell me your conditions!"
