Chapter 34: Dugu Bo's Hope

Shirou who saw that Chen Xin and Dugu Bo had agreed not to take the initiative to take the soul's bone smiled happily, Shirou looked at Dugu Bo and said, "Grandpa Poison, looks like it's time for us to see the Delicate Silk Tulip Flower"

Dugu Bo nodded and said, "Yes. Come on, come with me."

Dugu Bo immediately turned around and walked down from the high place they were in followed by Shirou and Chen Xin. Along the way to the location of the Delicate Silk Tulips, Shirou saw many types of Immortal Plants, but those who had reached the requirement to be called Immortal Plants or who had reached the age of 10,000 years of cultivation were only a few of the many types of Immortal Plants.

With this large number of Immortal Plants, if it was normal people who knew about Immortal Plant knowledge and medicine would be very happy. However, for Shirou who had such a large number of Immortal Plants in the storage room, these Immortal Plants in front of him were of little value to himself.

It didn't take long for Dugu Bo to immediately stop right in front of a very beautiful white flower plant, emitting powder on its flower crown and emitting very thick heaven and earth energy in the surrounding area.

"That's what we were looking for"

Chen Xin who saw the flower immediately trembled with pleasure since the Seven Treasure Title Glazed Sect didn't take long to transform into the Nine Treasure Title Glazed Sect. Chen Xin looked at Shirou and said, "Little friend, please"

However, Shirou himself did not immediately move to retrieve the Delicate Silk Tulip. Shirou turned to look at Chen Xin and said, "Grandfather Sword, it's best if Grandfather Sword brings Uncle Ning to come straight here."

"Bringing Fenzhi? What for?" Chen Xin asked in confusion.

"By the way, who is going to absorb these Delicate Silk Tulips? Have you guys talked about it?" Shirou asked again and did not immediately answer Chen Xin's question.

Chen Xin nodded and said, "We've talked about it. Whatever we get first, Fenzhi will absorb it."

Shirou immediately turned his attention to Dugu Bo and said, "Grandpa Poison, is it okay for Uncle Ning to do it here?"

"No problem" Dugu Bo shook his head and agreed on this point. Moreover, Chen Xin himself had come to this location. By adding one person to come, it wouldn't have a bad impact on him. Also, Dugu Bo had to repay the favor of the Seven Treasure Title Glazed Sect for bringing himself together with Shirou. Otherwise, he would never know about the evolutionary problem as well as the various knowledge about medicinal plants that Shirou explained earlier.

Shirou immediately turned his attention to Chen Xin and said, "Then Grandpa Sword. Please bring Uncle Ning to this location. This environment is the most suitable environment for the absorption of the Delicate Silk Tulips. With Uncle Ning carrying out his process here, there is a possibility that Uncle Ning will also benefit from the heaven and earth energy that exists in this environment. Moreover, after Uncle Ning finished the absorption process, Uncle Ning would immediately advance to the Counter level and needed a soul ring to be able to directly breakthrough. This Sunset Forest has soul beasts with a sufficiently high cultivation age that are suitable for seeking out the soul beasts that will become Uncle Ning's eighth soul ring."

Chen Xin nodded slightly uncomfortably to leave Dugu Bo and Shirou alone. Moreover, Shirou himself had already attracted interest from Dugu Bo to invite Shirou to join their family. Chen Xin directly looked at Dugu Bo and said, "Old Poison, you better not take the initiative to steal Xiao Shi from us. We Seven Treasure Title Glazed Sect have taken the initiative to first invite him to join."

"Hmph! Old Swordsman, right now Xiao Shi still hasn't joined your Seven Treasure Title Glazed Sect. He is still free to choose anyone's side even if he can also accept to join our family." Dugu Bo snorted in a tone gazing at Chen Xin.

"You!..."

"Already. Already. Grandpa Sword, Grandpa Poison, thank you for your invitation to me. However, for now, I still want to be free and don't want to join any forces. With me joining one force, I will get a lot of responsibilities. Meanwhile, I still like freedom and enjoy the various adventures that exist and see what this world has to offer me. Having said that, my answer will still be the same. I refuse the invitation to join any force."

Dugu Bo and Chen Xin who were listening to this answer from Shirou sighed with a hint of disappointment. However, they were also happy that Shirou had joined a force, it would probably be very difficult to cooperate with Shirou since they also had to seek approval from the forces behind Shirou. That's why Shirou is still free with no power behind him which makes them happy and can also easily cooperate with them.

Chen Xin who had heard Shirou's reply was relieved to leave Shirou together with Dugu Bo, Chen Xin didn't wait long and immediately rushed back and brought Ning Fenzhi here quickly.

Seeing Chen Xin's departure, Dugu Bo became very happy and immediately looked at Shirou wanting to ask something. However, before Dugu Bo wanted to say anything, Shirou immediately cut him off, "Grandpa Poison can say it now"

Dugu Bo fell silent at Shirou's words and looked at Shirou with a look asking for an answer. Shirou smiled slightly and said, "Grandpa Poison must want to ask me about the matter of the Pill that can remove the poison that is in Grandpa Poison right now, right?"

Dugu Bo was a bit silent but immediately accepted Shirou's words since he had predicted that there was a possibility that Shirou would know this. Seeing Dugu Bo who was still speechless, Shirou continued, "Grandpa Poison must be wondering about how I found out about this matter, right?"

Dugu Bo nodded and he wanted to know the reason why Shirou knew about it.

Shirou sighed and said, "To be honest, I'm not very familiar with poison myself."

Dugu Bo frowned and said, "If you didn't know about the poison matter, how did you find out about it?"

Shirou smiled and said, "I do not know poison. However, with my extensive knowledge of martial souls, I could guess that Grandpa Poison had been poisoned by Grandpa Poison's martial soul himself. Not only Grandpa Poison but Grandpa Poison's grandson also suffered from the same poisoning that Grandpa Poison suffered."

Shirou paused for a moment and looked at Dugu Bo and said, "Actually, there is a Pill that can cure the poisoning of Poison Grandpa and Poison Grandpa's Granddaughter."

"What?" Dugu Bo was very surprised to hear this news. Not only surprised, but Dugu Bo's body also trembled with joy hearing Shirou's words, Dugu Bo immediately stepped forward and tightly gripped Shirou's shoulders with both hands and said, "Son, is what you said true?"

Shirou nodded while trying to free himself from Grandpa Poison's grasp, "Grandpa Poison, it hurts a little"

Dugu Bo immediately woke up from his excitement and immediately released his grip on his hand and looked at Shirou while saying, "Agh~ I'm sorry…. Son, can you do it?" Dugu Bo asked again and looked at Shirou expectantly.

Shirou nodded and said, "I can indeed do it. It's just, I need to know the level of poisoning that Poison Grandpa and his Granddaughter have. Because each level of poisoning has a different treatment as well. If the poison had not spread throughout the body and had not had an immediate effect on the person, the pills needed were very easy to make and it was also easy to find the ingredients for the pills. However, if the poison has spread throughout the body and also in large quantities to the point of entering the bone marrow, the pills needed are high-grade Pills at least level 6 Pills whose ingredients for making pills are very rare and hard to find."

Dugu Bo who heard this answer was immediately excited, moreover, Shirou himself said that he could be healed using tier 6 Pills which Shirou now had the qualifications to make the Pills after he remembered Shirou's previous words. Dugu Bo directly looked at Shirou and said, "It doesn't matter about the ingredients for the Pill. I will collect the materials."

Dugu Bo did this because he had always been looking for a way to get rid of the poison he was currently suffering from. Especially after seeing his son die as a result of their family's martial soul, it made him even more determined to find a cure for this poisoning. Dugu Bo didn't want to see his grandson, as well as this last member of his family, suffer as his son suffered.

Shirou who saw Dugu Bo's excitement smiled and said, "If you may know, Grandpa Poison. What level of poisoning has Grandpa Poison and his Granddaughter been suffering from?"

Dugu Bo woke up in his thoughts and said, "The poison I have suffered has reached the bone marrow. For my granddaughter, it's still spreading and hasn't had a special impact on his body yet."

Shirou nodded and said, "Can I get paper and stationery like before? I will explain the ingredients needed to make the Pill."

Dugu Bo immediately took out the paper and stationery while handing it to Shirou. Shirou immediately wrote down the ingredients needed to make Tier 3 Pills and Tier 6 Pills to heal Dugu Bo and his Granddaughter.

(Note: I'm not good at naming. You can name the two pills)

After Shirou finished writing down all the necessary materials. Shirou immediately handed back the paper and stationery to Dugu Bo and said, "Here are the ingredients. Grandpa Poison can see it first"

Dugu Bo immediately took the paper Shirou had given him and looked at the ingredients of the Tier 3 Pill to heal his Grandson. The moment Dugu Bo saw the ingredients, Dugu Bo's eyes showed an enthusiastic joy since the ingredients needed were all with him. After seeing the pill ingredients for his Granddaughter, Dugu Bo turned his attention to the pill ingredients for himself.

By the time Dugu Bo looked at the ingredients, there were some ingredients that he didn't know about. Dugu Bo lowered the paper and looked at Shirou, "Son, can you explain about these ingredients? I do not know these materials myself." Dugu Bo directly pointed at the materials.

Shirou looked at the ingredients that Dugu Bo had pointed out and immediately smiled as he looked at Dugu Bo, "Grandpa Poison, don't worry. The ingredients that Poison Grandpa pointed out were materials that were directed at this location. Poison Grandpa just needs to find the other ingredients for now."

Dugu Bo who heard this answer instantly became very happy. He quickly stowed the paper into the storage room and looked at Shirou as he said, "Son, then I will also return to collect the materials you asked for along with the furnace I need to take to my house."

"Gathering materials?" Shirou was surprised to hear this answer, "Wait!... Have you gathered all the ingredients for the Evolution Pill and Pills to heal you and your Granddaughter?"

Dugu Bo who saw Shirou's shocked face raised his head proudly, "Hmph! Do you think I'm the same as the Seven Treasure Title Glazed Sect who needs to gather materials for a long time? I have a large stockpile of these materials that I have gathered during my time traveling on this Douluo continent."

Shirou immediately came back to his senses with these words from Dugu Bo. Shirou also immediately nodded and said, "In that case, Poison Grandpa, I will also return first. I need to get Ciel to come here."

"Inviting your students? What for?" Dugu Bo asked curiously.

Shirou smiled slightly and said, "Isn't that obvious? With Grandpa Poison having gathered the ingredients for making Evolution Pills and Healing Pills, I would also like to make an Evolution Pill for Ciel using Grandpa Poison's furnace. That way, Ciel's martial soul will immediately awaken."

"You have the ingredients?" Dugu Bo was surprised by this information.

Shirou nodded and said, "I do have the ingredients for making the Evolution Pill. I got this from an adventure I did before. My goal in coming to Tian Dou City by myself was because it was looking for the Li Sect which was famous for its Blacksmiths. I came here to ask for a furnace to be made for me to be able to make high-grade pills such as tier 5 Pills and tier 6 Pills. However, I didn't expect to meet Uncle Ning, Grandpa Sword, and Grandpa Poison in this Tian Dou City. Even I did not expect to be able to accept a worthy disciple in this Tian Dou City."

"Hahaha~ Looks like we were fated to meet, Xiao Shi" Dugu Bo was very happy because with meeting Shirou, the problem he had been having for a long time would soon be resolved.

"Yes," Shirou nodded and said, "In that case, Poison Grandpa. Let's go our separate ways. We will meet again at the entrance location. I also hope Grandpa Sword can bring Uncle Ning over quickly"

" Hmph! I wish Old Sword had taken Sect Master Ning longer so I could try to get Xiao Shi to come over to the house and introduce himself to Yan Yan" Dugu Bo thought as he nodded and said, "Fine."

Shirou and Dugu Bo instantly moved out of the Hot Spring and Ying Cold. Arriving outside, Shirou and Dugu Bo immediately rushed towards their respective destinations.
