Chapter 79 The Fatal Temptation to Yue Guan
The poisonous gas began to spread in all directions, and many plants withered as a result.
For a moment, the surroundings were deathly silent.
Seeing this, Dugu Bo immediately used his immense soul power to completely absorb the poisonous gas back into his body.
Dugu Bo's actions greatly surprised Yue Guan.
He knew Dugu Bo's original situation. If Dugu Bo had wanted to do this before, the toxins in his body would have gone out of control and eventually backfired on him.
But Dugu Bo stood there as if nothing had happened, seemingly unaffected in the slightest.
Yue Guan, who was on high alert, thought he would have to fight Dugu Bo again, but he saw Dugu Bo silently withdraw his Spirit and then quietly stand behind Qin Mu.
At the same time, Ling Yuan was also standing behind Qin Mu.
The three of them didn't say a word, they just stared at Yue Guan.
"What does this mean? Can anyone explain it to me?!"
Yue Guan suddenly became a little confused about the situation.
Wasn't Dugu Bo always a free spirit master, or rather, inclined towards the Heaven Dou royal family? Why would he obey Qin Mu?
Qin Mu is clearly a member of the Spirit Hall and a disciple of Bibi Dong, so why would he let Dugu Bo attack him?
And then there's Ling Yuan; all of this seems to be within Ling Yuan's expectations!
"Grandpa Yue, things aren't actually that complicated. Simply put, the Old Poisoner is now one of my men."
This short sentence contains a wealth of information.
"What?! He's one of your people?!"
"It means exactly what it says."
Qin Mu smiled as he looked at Yue Guan, causing Yue Guan to ponder deeply.
"Not affiliated with the Spirit Hall, but still one of your people? Qin Mu, what do you mean by this?"
Before Qin Mu could speak, Yue Guan seemed to realize something.
"I understand. This must be what the Grand Priest meant!"
"No wonder the Grand Priest summoned you to the Elder Hall alone before you left."
"I just don't understand why the elders of the Elder Hall are targeting me!"
Hearing Yue Guan's words, Qin Mu was also taken aback, realizing that he had misunderstood, and quickly spoke up.
"No, these are not the intentions of the elders."
"Letting the Old Poisoner fight you is just to let you see the progress he has made recently."
Yue Guan's attention stirred, and his eyes narrowed slightly.
Clearly, Qin Mu had already shown Yue Guan everything he wanted him to see.
Not only did his soul power increase by one level, but his strength also increased by a whole level compared to before.
With the potent poison in his body, killing Dugu Bo has become quite difficult for me.
Even if I manage to kill him, I'll probably suffer irreparable injuries.
As Yue Guan pondered this, a subtle fragrance that soothed his mind suddenly wafted to his nose.
Immediately, Yue Guan's gaze locked onto Qin Mu, or more specifically, on a large, pale pink flower that had appeared in Qin Mu's arms at some unknown time.
With his eyes fixed on the large flower in Qin Mu's arms, Yue Guan finally managed to ask with some difficulty after a long while.
"You, what's that in your arms..."
"A Beautiful Silk Tulip." Qin Mu paused deliberately, then added under Yue Guan's shocked gaze, "A kind of Immortal Herb."
Yue Guan stared for a long time, then slowly walked up to Qin Mu like a puppet, respectfully holding the Beautiful Silk Tulip in his hands.
Qin Mu did not stop Yue Guan, allowing Yue Guan to hold the Beautiful Silk Tulip in his hands.
"No wonder, no wonder you were unharmed in Dugu Bo's poisonous fog, so that's the reason."
Yue Guan's eyes were full of envy as he gently stroked the petals of the Beautiful Silk Tulip.
A moment later, Yue Guan held the Beautiful Silk Tulip in his arms and looked at Qin Mu with a pleading gaze.
"Qin Mu, tell me, what exactly do you want? What do you want me to do to give me the Beautiful Silk Tulip?"
Yue Guan was not like Ling Yuan, who only knew how to fight and didn't use her brain.
First, Dugu Bo fought against him, and then he brought out the Beautiful Silk Tulip that he would definitely want.
It has to be said that Qin Mu has perfectly grasped Yue Guan's hand.
For him, no matter what Qin Mu asked for, as long as it was within his power, Yue Guan had almost no reason to refuse.
Putting aside whether it can help him improve his cultivation, this single Beautiful Silk Tulip is enough to make Yue Guan go through fire and water for him.
In that moment, Yue Guan considered all the possibilities, even the possibility of betraying the Spirit Hall.
"Grandpa Yue, I only have one question to ask you."
Is this the life you want?
Qin Mu's two simple sentences plunged Yue Guan into silence once again.
"You don't have to rush to give me an answer. However, the Beautiful Silk Tulip is still of great use to me, so I can't give it to you."
Upon hearing this, a hint of melancholy appeared on Yue Guan's face.
Although he had planned it, the last glimmer of hope in his heart was completely extinguished when Qin Mu actually spoke.
"However, I can give you another Immortal Herb."
Qin Mu's words caused Yue Guan's face to show a look of shock once again.
Under Yue Guan's incredulous gaze, Qin Mu took out another chrysanthemum-shaped flower from his Ruyi Treasure Pouch.
The chrysanthemums are a beautiful purple color, with no fragrance whatsoever, but the tips of the stamens shimmer with a faint golden light.
If the Beautiful Silk Tulip made Yue Guan willing to betray the Spirit Hall, then the flower before him drove Yue Guan to madness and made him an enemy of Qian Daoliu.
For no other reason than that the seemingly chrysanthemum-shaped Immortal Herb in front of them is also Yue Guan's Spirit, the Chrysanthemum!
"Grandpa Yue, I will always remember your teachings and care for me."
"I had no choice but to do this because you harbored disloyalty towards me. Please forgive me, Grandpa Yue!"
"No matter what happens in the future, I'm giving you this Chrysanthemum right now!"
Upon hearing this, Yue Guan was speechless for a moment, letting Qin Mu come to him and place the Chrysanthemum in his hand.
Looking at the slightly fuzzy purple chrysanthemum in his hand, Yue Guan's heart pounded wildly.
First came the Beautiful Silk Tulip, then the Chrysanthemum, plus the Immortal Herb I gave to Ling Yuan before, which must be of a similar level to mine.
In other words, Yue Guan already knows that Qin Mu possesses three Immortal Herbs!
Moreover, Qin Mu couldn't possibly be unaware of the effects of these Immortal Herbs, and he himself had definitely taken them.
Yue Guan didn't know what to say; he only felt his throat was incredibly dry.
"Grandpa Yue, actually I have many more similar Immortal Herbs, but they all grow in the same place."
"I can take you there, but I want you to swear an oath to your Spirit that you will never reveal the location of this place to anyone."
"Otherwise, I would never have taken you to this place."
As Qin Mu spoke, he smiled and looked at Yue Guan.
He believed that someone like Yue Guan, who had an extraordinary love for flowers, would definitely choose to go with him when he heard about a large quantity of Immortal Herbs.
As expected, upon hearing Qin Mu's words, Yue Guan immediately swore an oath with his Spirit towards the sky without much thought.
As soon as he finished speaking, Yue Guan looked at Qin Mu eagerly.
"Alright, I've made the vow. Now, take me to the place you mentioned!"
