Chapter 58: Bone Douluo's Breakthrough, Emperor Xue Ye Critically ill
"Why rob when I can do business?"
Faced with Dugu Bo's comment, Qin Xiao retorted.
Dugu Bo, surprisingly, had no response.
"Five million Gold Soul Coins, I'll gather them and give them to you later."
It was not a small amount, even for Dugu Bo, and he needed time to prepare.
"You're not in a hurry, so I'm even less so," Qin Xiao said nonchalantly. After all, he wasn't short of money, "From now on, you'll manage this place. If anything comes up, you can find me at Blue Tyrant Academy, I'll be there for a while."
Following the original plot, Qin Xiao remembered that after leaving Tian Dou Royal Academy, the Shrek Academy group went to Blue Tyrant Academy, and he speculated that his next tasks might revolve around there.
"Okay," Dugu Bo nodded upon hearing this.
Then, he and Dugu Yan watched as Qin Xiao left.
"Ah, who would have thought, I'm just a big grudge holder."
Looking at the garden that once belonged to him, Dugu Bo felt a mix of emotions.
In other words, he had been guarding a treasure mountain without knowing it.
"Grandpa, look on the bright side. After all, we've controlled the Bi Lin Snake poison, haven't we?"
"Is my life not more valuable than this herb garden?"
Dugu Yan tried to console the disheartened Dugu Bo.
"You're right, but it's still hard to think that I have to use my own money to buy my herbs."
After saying this, Dugu Bo couldn't help but sigh, "Well, I'll get used to it. Yan Yan, wait here, I'll go back to Tian Dou City to find a soul bone for you."
"Okay," Dugu Yan obediently nodded.
Meanwhile.
At the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Bone Douluo's room was closed, with Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo standing side by side outside, staring at the shut door.
"Why hasn't he come out yet?"
"Old Bones is refining three soul bones in one go. Can't he break through to level 96 Titled Douluo?"
"If this method doesn't work, I don't know how else he can break through."
Sword Douluo's voice was heavy and worried.
Hearing this, Ning Fengzhi helplessly shook his head, knowing Sword Douluo was overly concerned, "Sword Uncle, don't rush. Breaking through a bottleneck isn't that easy."
"Let's wait a bit longer," Sword Douluo sighed.
However.
Just as he finished sighing, the closed door was blown open by a powerful soul force.
Surprisingly, Sword Douluo and Ning Fengzhi were delighted rather than alarmed.
The next moment, a smiling Bone Douluo walked out.
His soul power was significantly stronger than before.
"Old Bones, did you succeed?"
Sword Douluo's eyes gleamed with joy.
"Hahaha, yes, I did it. The problem that troubled me for so many years has finally been overcome."
Bone Douluo couldn't hold back his laughter.
"Congratulations, Bone Uncle."
Ning Fengzhi also congratulated Bone Douluo happily.
"Sect Leader, you're too modest. If you hadn't brought back these soul bones, my breakthrough would have been far off. These soul bones are of exceptional age and quality."
Gratitude filled Bone Douluo's eyes.
But Ning Fengzhi was thoughtful, "In that case, we should also thank Qin Xiao."
Initially, when Qin Xiao sold the soul bones to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, their obligation to each other was settled.
But considering Bone Douluo's breakthrough, Ning Fengzhi felt further gratitude was due.
Besides, Qin Xiao had limitless potential, and Ning Fengzhi was keen to maintain a good relationship with him.
Bone Douluo nodded after a moment of silence, "Indeed, I should meet this young man at Shrek Academy."
Bone Douluo was decisive and prepared to leave immediately.
"Wait."
Ning Fengzhi stopped Bone Douluo, "Uncle Gu, after Shrek Academy was destroyed, it wasn't rebuilt. The people from Shrek Academy have now come to Tian Dou City. Our sources have reported that they're staying at an inn in the city."
"Oh? That makes it much easier, then I'll go to Tian Dou City to find him."
Bone Douluo's eyes brightened. With his cultivation level, reaching Tian Dou City wouldn't take much time.
Ning Fengzhi said, "I'll accompany you."
"Your Highness, you've finally returned."
In front of Dugu Bo's residence, a warrior in silver armor saw Dugu Bo and was filled with excitement.
"Is something wrong with His Majesty?"
Dugu Bo's gaze flickered, recognizing the warrior as one of Emperor Xue Ye's guards from a distance.
"His Majesty, His Majesty's condition is not good. That's why I came to find you," the silver-armored warrior said.
"What? His Majesty's condition was stable before. How could it suddenly worsen?"
Dugu Bo frowned.
The silver-armored warrior spoke quietly after ensuring they were alone, "Last night, after His Majesty met with Prince Xue Xing, he flew into a rage."
That explains it.
Dugu Bo quickly understood the key to the situation.
It must be because Prince Xue Xing misused his authority and suppressed his opponents, which was now exposed.
"Alas, Prince Xue Xing is unfortunate. Suppressing others is one thing, but clashing with Qin Xiao is a dead end."
Dugu Bo silently mourned for Prince Xue Xing for three seconds, then told the silver-armored warrior, "No more talk, I'll go to the palace immediately."
With Dugu Bo's Titled Douluo level, he reached the imperial palace in just a few breaths from his residence.
Upon arrival, he quickly made his way to Emperor Xue Ye's chamber, where he was greeted warmly by everyone present.
Dugu Bo nodded slightly, then stepped forward.
"Mr. Dugu Bo, you're here."
Emperor Xue Ye spoke weakly.
"Your Majesty, don't worry, you'll be fine with me here," Dugu Bo said solemnly, employing both his medical and toxicological skills.
After a while, he sighed in relief.
"His Majesty is suffering from exacerbation of an old condition due to extreme anger. It's not a serious issue, just needs a few medicinal treatments."
"That's good, that's good."
Everyone around was overjoyed upon hearing Dugu Bo's words. However, they soon noticed something odd about Dugu Bo's expression.
"What's wrong, Mr. Dugu Bo? Is His Majesty's condition worsening?"
Emperor Xue Ye also noticed the anomaly and asked in a low voice.
"No, it's not that."
"Then is there any difficulty for Mr. Dugu Bo?"
Dugu Bo looked troubled, "It's like this, Your Majesty. The medicines needed are very precious and require a large amount of Gold Soul Coins."
What?
Money is needed?
Everyone was stunned, not expecting Dugu Bo to say this.
"How much is needed?"
Emperor Xue Ye asked in a low voice.
"For these prescriptions, we need seventy-seven main herbs and eighty-one auxiliary herbs, totaling around five hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins,"
Dugu Bo calculated quietly and gave a number.
This was a very fair amount, just covering the cost without making any profit.
Five hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins?
The crowd gasped in shock.
"May I ask, Your Highness, why didn't His Majesty's treatment require so much money before?"
Someone dared to ask.
This was everyone's doubt.
"Before?"
Dugu Bo couldn't help but feel irritated recalling this.
He scoffed, "Before, I grew the medicines myself. Now I have to buy them. Can it be the same?"
