Chapter 90: Dugu Bo's Family Pledges Loyalty! Bibi Dong Has Another Conspiracy

Although the number of people is large, most of them are children who have just become Spirit Scholars.

Overall, the effects brought by the Lingxue Pill and the Lingxue Sacred Heart Art are still very significant.

For instance, those who only obtained one level of Innate Spirit Power are no worse in their cultivation speed at the Lingxue Sacred Land Outer Gate than those who normally awakened with three levels of Innate Spirit Power!

Under such circumstances, it is still very easy for them to become Spirit Masters, and fighting Spirit Masters is not particularly difficult either.

With this, the Lingxue Sacred Land can be considered to be on the right track!

The recruitment of ordinary people has temporarily stopped, but the recruitment of Spirit Masters is still ongoing.

It is not that Lingxu does not want to recruit more ordinary people, but mainly because the Lingxue Pill system only rewarded one pill.

Therefore, Lingxu still needs to learn how to refine the Lingxue Pill so that the Sacred Land can develop sustainably.

Time passed slowly, and another month went by; Lingxue's soul power successfully reached level 60, reaching the point where she could absorb a Spirit Ring.

However, at this time, Qian Renxue had just broken through to level 59, and was once again left behind by Lingxue.

Moreover, the higher the level, the harder it is to improve; Lingxu not only has no bottlenecks, but as more and more people provide him with a 10% cultivation effect, the gap between the two will only grow larger.

The cultivation effect of hundreds or thousands of people is not something one person can compare to.

And just after Lingxu finished stepping into level 60, the system's voice finally sounded again.

【Ding... Congratulations to the host for triggering a system mission: Wait for Qian Renxue to go absorb the sixth Spirit Ring together. Mission reward: The host's Spirit Ring and soul bone age will each increase by 3,000 years!】

"System, you finally issued a mission for me; has this entered a cooldown period?" Lingxu thought to himself.

Ever since he completed the mission of changing Qian Renxue's life, the system had not issued a single mission in over a year.

To go find a Spirit Ring with Xue'er, Lingxu decided to use the Restraining Breath Art to hide some of his soul power, concealing it from level 60 to level 59.

As for the cultivation effects obtained normally, Lingxu can either use them for cultivation or for the improvement of soul bones; for example, the External Spirit Bone Golden Armor is raised by feeding it with one's own soul power to increase its age.

Within this month, Shui Bing'er in the Sacred Land awakened her martial soul and also successfully practiced the Lingxue Sacred Heart Art.

Shui Bing'er's martial soul, unsurprisingly, was still the Ice Phoenix, and her Innate Spirit Power reached level 9.

After taking the Lingxue Pill, it directly increased to level 10 soul power, and subsequently, it took half a month to find an ice-type Spirit Beast in the Sunset Forest.

Ice-attribute Spirit Beasts are truly too rare here; it is not that there are none, they are genuinely scarce.

According to their estimates, if they need to absorb a Spirit Ring next time, they will need to head north toward the Heaven Dou Empire, walking through a Spirit Beast forest where there are more ice-attribute Spirit Beasts.

The Lingxue Sacred Land is on the right track, and the number of Spirit Masters is also gradually increasing.

And the news that they can allow ordinary people to become Spirit Masters spread rapidly, which led to many people waiting in front of the Lingxue Sacred Land every day, or begging for a chance to become Spirit Masters.

But for the time being, Lingxu does not intend to recruit that many people; even if he does, he must wait until there are enough Lingxue Pills.

Although there are still over five hundred pills now, these are mostly to be used on Spirit Masters; after all, these Spirit Masters can bring stronger immediate combat power to the Sacred Land.

At the same time, the speed of cultivation is also much faster than these ordinary people becoming Spirit Scholars.

Ensuring that the recruited Spirit Masters have Lingxue Pills to use after passing.

This day, while Lingxu was cultivating, he heard the voice of Luo Liu'er coming from outside the door.

"Young Master, an old man with green hair has come to find you, saying that you told him to come find you."

Lingxu opened his eyes and said, "Only one person came?"

Luo Liu'er said, "To be precise, there are three; besides this old man, there is also a middle-aged man who looks extremely weak and an eight or nine-year-old little girl."

"They finally came. Sister Liu'er, where are they?" Lingxu asked.

"The Outer Gate reception hall."

"Alright, I'll go over immediately!" Lingxu said.

Dugu Bo had come after all; Lingxu had waited for so long and thought Dugu Bo would not come.

Although Dugu Bo's individual one-on-one combat power is not strong, this guy's poison can resist an army of thousands, and cannot be underestimated.

Especially in battles between two countries, Dugu Bo is a bug-like existence when facing Spirit Masters who are not strong and ordinary soldiers.

So it can be said that Dugu Bo still has a certain value, and he is about to become a Title Douluo; it is naturally good to be able to recruit him into the Lingxue Sacred Land.

However, although Lingxu said he would go over immediately, he still let Dugu Bo wait for a while before arriving at the Lingxue Sacred Land's Outer Gate reception hall.

Dugu Bo was able to keep his composure at this time; seeing Lingxu arrive, he immediately stood up and spoke directly: "Lingxu, can you treat the toxins in our bodies and also help us completely resolve the Green Phosphorus Snake Poison?"

Lingxu nodded and said, "Of course, what I have said is naturally not false."

During this period, the Lingxue Sacred Land has also been in the limelight, with powerful Spirit Beasts inside and a Title Douluo sitting in command.

Even Dugu Bo would not dare to act recklessly; after all, he is not a match for Lingxu's father, Ling Bufan.

At this time, Dugu Bo finally bowed his head and said to Lingxu, "Please save my son, Dugu Xin."

Dugu Xin was right beside Dugu Bo, his complexion very poor, with little blood color, and like Dugu Bo, his hair had also turned green, and even his eyes emitted a green light.

It can be said that the Green Phosphorus Snake Poison on Dugu Xin's body has already exceeded what he can bear.

Dugu Xin's talent is higher than Dugu Bo's; he is not yet forty years old and is already a level 68 Soul Emperor.

If it were not for the influence of the toxins, he might have already stepped into the Soul Saint stage.

Lingxu said, "Save him, of course I can save him."

"However..."

"If you can save Xin'er, you can propose any conditions; as long as it is something I can do, I, Dugu Bo, will absolutely not refuse," Dugu Bo said with a serious face.

Lingxu smiled and said, "Actually, the conditions are very simple: the three of you pass the test to join my Lingxue Sacred Land and pledge your loyalty to the Lingxue Sacred Land."

"I will detoxify your poison, and at the same time, I will let you solve the problem of the Green Phosphorus Snake Poison forever."

Lingxu is not joking about this; at the very least, with Tang San's method in the original work, Lingxu just needs to copy it. If that doesn't work, in the Herb Compendium of rare medicinal materials he obtained, there are medicinal materials and plans for detoxification that can solve this Green Phosphorus Snake Poison.

All things considered, Lingxu wouldn't say he has a 100% certainty, but at least he has 80% or 90%.

Dugu Bo said, "Are you sure?"

Lingxu nodded and said, "What I say is naturally very certain. You can choose to believe it, or you can choose not to believe it, but I see that the poison in this person's body has already... sigh... he won't live for two more years."

For a very long time, Dugu Xin had been eroded by the toxins in his body.

Dugu Bo felt very helpless in his heart; in the Spirit Hall, he also had his own enemies, but these people from the Lingxue Sacred Land were all from the Spirit Hall.

Seeing Dugu Bo hesitate, Lingxu said, "If you have made up your mind, go to the front of the sect and take the test!"

After finishing, Lingxu prepared to leave, but the moment he started to move, Dugu Bo said, "Fine, I agree to your terms!"

"If you can cure us, our Bilin Snake Lineage will forever pledge loyalty to you, with absolutely no second thoughts," Dugu Bo said.

Although Dugu Bo was at Level 89 at this time, that arrogance had already been shattered previously by Lingxu's father, Ling Bufan.

Likewise, at this moment, there was nothing more important than saving his son, Dugu Xin.

Of course, there was also his granddaughter, Dugu Yan; because of this Biling Snake Poison, he had already lost many relatives. If his son and granddaughter were to meet with misfortune at this age, then what would be the meaning of his living?

At this time, Dugu Xin also had a great desire to survive; he did not want to die, and he also had attachments, for instance, Dugu Yan and his own father, Dugu Bo.

"I... I am also willing to pledge loyalty to you along with my father," Dugu Xin said.

They had already used too many treatment methods, but unfortunately, none had any effect, and some even worsened the condition.

Dugu Yan also said with a serious face, "I am the same as my father and grandfather; as long as you can save my father and grandfather, I will only listen to you from now on."

Lingxu said, "Good, since that is the case, you may go and take the assessment."

"Very well!" Dugu Bo said.

"But will this assessment cause him any harm?" Dugu Bo asked.

Lingxu said, "Rest assured, not to his body!"

Dugu Bo nodded, then took his son and Dugu Yan to walk out of the reception hall.

For someone like Dugu Bo to lower himself to seek him out, it could only be for the sake of Dugu Xin and Dugu Yan.

But no matter how much they spoke of loyalty verbally, Lingxu still trusted the Sacred Land's assessment test more.

A test of character, temperament, and loyalty.

Dugu Bo entered first; perhaps because he had already made up his mind, Dugu Bo's assessment went very smoothly.

His temperament passed, and his loyalty, once the system simulated his son and him being cured, could reach over ninety; at this level of loyalty, it was basically equivalent to never betraying.

Then there was character; Dugu Bo's was actually not low, it was medium, meeting the requirements.

His temperament could also reach medium.

Next was Dugu Yan; at such a young age, she was over eight years old and her soul power had already reached Level 16!

Both her character and temperament reached above medium, and her loyalty could also reach over ninety.

But just like Dugu Bo, these results could only be achieved after Lingxu cured them.

Finally, there was Dugu Xin; although his body was weak, this formation tested the spirit.

It had an effect on him, but the impact was not great.

Without any surprises, Dugu Xin also successfully passed the assessment in the end.

Perhaps it was that desire to survive, or perhaps he was not bad to begin with.

His character and temperament were both superior, and his loyalty could also reach over ninety after being cured.

In other words, as long as he cured the three of them, he could completely subdue them and make them his most loyal subordinates.

It was absolutely worth it; after all, the probability of Dugu Xin stepping into the Title rank in the future was also very high.

"Good, congratulations to you all for passing the assessment. Next, I will tell you about the rules of our Lingxue Sacred Land, and then you will practice the cultivation art of our Lingxue Sacred Land."

"Let me first talk about the rules..."

Ten minutes later, Lingxu had finished explaining the rules of the Lingxue Sacred Land.

Then he said, "Originally, you could have directly practiced the Lingxue Sacred Heart Art, but your situation is special; you must first detoxify, and then practice."

Dugu Bo said, "I understand this, Holy Master, please detoxify us."

Lingxu said, "Dugu Bo, you and Dugu Xin have been poisoned for a long time. According to a preliminary estimate, if it goes fast, it will be cured in over a year; if it goes slow, two or three years is possible, but it will definitely not exceed three years."

Dugu Bo nodded and said, "We understand this; it must be treated slowly."

Lingxu looked at Dugu Yan and continued, "Dugu Yan's poison is still very little; curing it completely is a matter of a month or so, which is relatively simple."

"Thank you!" Dugu Xin said.

Lingxu waved his hand and said, "However, to be completely cured so that it does not flare up again in the future, each of you needs to prepare a soul bone."

"A soul bone?" Dugu Bo looked at Lingxu in confusion.

Lingxu said, "The soul bone is the thing that will resolve the poison of your Bilin Snake Lineage."

Dugu Bo and Dugu Xin were both confused after hearing this; Dugu Bo said, "Can a soul bone have such an effect?"

"Detoxification cannot clear out the Biling Snake Poison in your bodies, otherwise where would the advantage of your martial soul be?"

"A soul bone can have this effect. As long as you condense the Biling Snake Poison into the soul bone, using the soul bone as a carrier instead of your own bodies, then your bodies will not be harmed by the Biling Snake Poison. And this soul bone, concentrating all your Biling Snake Poison, will definitely have great use in the future, whether for releasing it or using it."

"It can actually be like this?" Dugu Bo suddenly realized.

He just hadn't expected that solving the problem of the Biling Snake Poison would be so simple.

At this point, they truly believed that Lingxu could solve their problem.

"However, our Sacred Land does not currently have any soul bones, so the three soul bones you need must be found by yourselves. If there are difficulties, I can also help!" Lingxu said.

Having a direction, Dugu Bo felt it was easier to handle.

Dugu Bo said, "Holy Master, I understand! I will definitely obtain the three soul bones as soon as possible."

"Dugu Bo, your poison flare-up is still a while away, so I won't treat you recently, and the same goes for Dugu Yan. As for you, Dugu Xin, I will help you stabilize the poison in your body, at least enough to make your condition ten times better than it is now."

"I will leave the remaining time to you, Dugu Bo. Once the soul bones are obtained, the treatment can begin. After all, the Biling Snake Poison on your bodies is an advantage and cannot be wasted."

Dugu Bo said, "I understand. I know where there are suitable soul bones; give me half a year!"

As he spoke, a flash of murderous intent flickered in Dugu Bo's eyes.

Having traveled the continent for so many years, he knew and had seen many people, and he was clear about who among those people had soul bones suitable for them.

Then the fastest way to obtain a soul bone was to kill the other party and snatch the soul bone.

"Very well, I have already had people arrange accommodations for you. Tomorrow, I will come to give you, Dugu Xin, your first treatment! Dugu Bo, you should leave in a few days; only after seeing the results will you be able to leave with peace of mind," Lingxu said.

"Thank you!" Dugu Bo said.

"Holy Master, some time ago I helped Xue Xing deal with you all. This matter was my fault; I misjudged him. Now that the grievances between me and her have been settled, I ask that you, Holy Master, forgive my past transgressions."

Lingxu laughed: "It is fine. Didn't you also indirectly help us swindle Xue Xing? Our gains were not small either!"

"Alright, settle in and rest easy. I also need to go back and prepare," Lingxu said.

Watching the young Lingxu's departing back, who could believe that this was a child not yet thirteen years old?

And his soul power was already at level fifty-nine.

What made Dugu Bo willing to follow him was not just the ability to treat them, but also Lingxu's potential; in the future, the Lingxue Sacred Land would absolutely be an existence no worse than the Spirit Hall.

And how could this faction be willing to remain beneath the Spirit Hall?

At the same time, thousands of kilometers away in Wuhun City.

Bibi Dong looked at the nine-year-old child before her and said: "Hu Liena, you have great potential. I can make an exception and take you as a registered disciple; are you willing?"

Hu Liena looked at the Bibi Dong before her; this was the current Pope, and she was actually taking her as a disciple.

"I... I am willing!" Hu Liena said directly.

Bibi Dong said: "Good. Next, I will personally instruct you for one month, and then I need you to go to the Heaven Dou Empire to execute a mission. As long as the mission is completed, you will be my official disciple! You may even become the Saintess of my Spirit Hall!"

"Greetings, Teacher. This disciple will listen to everything you say, Teacher," Hu Liena knelt down again and said.

"Good! Then you may go down first. For this month, move here and live with me!" Bibi Dong said.

"Yes!" Hu Liena nodded, then cautiously left the Pope Palace.

After Hu Liena left, Bibi Dong revealed an inscrutable expression, and she was heard muttering softly, "Lingxue Sacred Land, I would like to see what secrets you have!"
