Chapter 127: Meeting Dugu Bo Again

"It's this letter..."

The attendant stared at Ning Rongrong's eyes, which looked like they were about to eat someone, and hurriedly took the letter Shi Quan had left behind from the drawer and handed it to Ning Rongrong.

Ning Rongrong looked at the large characters written on the letter, "To be opened personally by Zhu Zhuqing," and was even more furious. She was angry not just because Shi Quan had left without a word, but because the letter he left was for Zhu Zhuqing, whom he had only met once. She guessed that the content of the letter was most likely about Zhuang Zhou.

But this feeling of being ignored made Ning Rongrong feel extremely unhappy!

"Zhuqing, it's yours." Ning Rongrong let out a long breath, suppressed the restlessness and resentment in her heart, and handed the letter in her hand to Zhu Zhuqing, who was beside her.

Zhu Zhuqing looked at the letter in her hand and opened it directly to read. As she looked at the content inside, Zhu Zhuqing's expression was quite normal at first, but when she saw the latter part, her hand holding the paper trembled visibly, and her cold eyes contracted violently.

"What's wrong? Zhuqing." Ning Rongrong looked at Zhu Zhuqing curiously and asked, "Did something happen to Zhuang Zhou?"

"No." Zhu Zhuqing gripped the letter tightly, hurriedly tucked it into her bosom, and said, "Let's go, let's head back. As for Shi Quan, he will be waiting for us at Heaven Dou Imperial Academy."

"What about Zhuang Zhou?"

Dugu Yan was waiting for Yu Tianheng to come and apologize to her, while Yu Tianheng stubbornly believed he was not in the wrong; Dugu Yan's words were an insult to his uncle, Yu Xiaogang, and he was also waiting for Dugu Yan to show weakness to him.

"Become stronger?" Ning Rongrong's expression paused, then she asked, "You want to follow Shi Quan to cultivate?"

"I... I don't." Ning Rongrong's voice grew smaller and smaller, and her face was a bit flushed.

Tang San's eyes were bloodshot, his teeth were clenched, the veins on his forehead were exposed, and he was trying hard to control himself.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing immediately asked, "Then why did you leave Heaven Dou Imperial Academy to come to Shrek in the first place?"

In a patch of woodland outside Shrek Academy.

Over the course of two days, everyone noticed that the conflict between Dugu Yan and Yu Tianheng had not eased, and both were maintaining a cold war attitude.

Four Blue Silver Grass vines, like seaweed, twisted and swayed, moving bit by bit toward the center.

Ning Rongrong couldn't help but nod, "You're right, if Shi Quan were teaching you, it definitely wouldn't be something that good-for-nothing Master Yu Xiaogang could compare to."

"Do you like him?"

"Shi Quan didn't tell me."

"Is that so?" Zhu Zhuqing smiled without a word.

The team battle continued.

There were two stops left before their Soul Fighting plan ended, which meant that in at most half a month, their group would return to Heaven Dou City.

"I..." Ning Rongrong stomped her feet in anger, "Isn't it all because of that stinky guy Shi Quan."

"It's still better than cultivating with this Master, isn't it?" Zhu Zhuqing looked at Ning Rongrong.

After a day of travel, Shi Quan's group arrived at their next stop.

"Then why are you looking for Shi Quan?"

"He..." A flash of brilliance passed through Zhu Zhuqing's eyes, and she said slowly, "He can make me stronger!"

It was a pity that after holding on for only a quarter of an hour, Tang San's figure suddenly relaxed, and he immediately bent over, gasping for air. The surrounding vines also instantly went limp, all of them dropping to the ground with a thud.

"Why is it so hard!" Looking at the Blue Silver vines on the ground, Tang San couldn't help but clench his fists.

After returning from the Great Soul Arena, Tang San had begun practicing the further application of the vines under the guidance of the Master.

However, he had yet to find the method and had seen almost no improvement.

Making whips and such was simple, but he was completely unable to weave them into things like vine armor, and he even found it difficult to control multiple vines simultaneously, let alone weave with them.

"Am I too anxious?" Tang San couldn't help but doubt himself.

The sound of footsteps came from behind, and Tang San immediately looked up; it was his teacher, Yu Xiaogang.

"Little San, you don't need to be impatient. That Shi Quan must have spent a vast amount of time to be able to use it skillfully to this day. This kind of training naturally requires taking it slow. Haste makes waste; all things are difficult at the start. Once you get the hang of it, it will be much better. Don't be anxious."

Yu Xiaogang stepped forward and patted Tang San on the shoulder, then continued, "Also, regarding the rare treasures, I have connections here who will help you inquire and investigate. If we can find similar rare treasures, you will certainly be able to surpass that Shi Quan in one fell swoop."

"Teacher, the other party is a Title Douluo!" Tang San stared at Yu Xiaogang with wide eyes.

Yu Xiaogang said disdainfully, "Although this Jade Phosphor Douluo is famous, he is merely at the bottom among Title Douluo. There are plenty of people in this world stronger than him! As your teacher, I naturally have ways to obtain further information about rare treasures from him."

Upon hearing this, Tang San was immediately moved and excited, saying gratefully, "Thank you, Teacher!"

"It's nothing, this is what I should do as your teacher."

Yu Xiaogang said with his head held high and chest out; in reality, it was because Tang Hao had sought him out two days ago that he had gained this confidence.

"Regarding your training, you don't need to worry either. When you arrive in Heaven Dou, I will find a way to have Ning Rongrong teach you the Distraction Control of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."

"Distraction Control?" Tang San looked at Yu Xiaogang in confusion.

Yu Xiaogang then explained the uniqueness of Distraction Control to Tang San.

"There is actually such a unique cultivation method?" Tang San was shocked, his eyes shining and flickering constantly.

Yu Xiaogang nodded, "When the time comes, with the help of Distraction Control and systematic training, you will certainly be able to master Blue Silver Grass faster."

Tang San nodded. A unique skill that had been passed down by the Three Upper Sects for who knows how many years could definitely not be compared to the research Shi Quan alone had done in just a few short years.

The only problem now was that there were still two months until they went to Heaven Dou City.

Such a unique method should definitely be mastered as early as possible; he didn't want to waste these two-plus months.

With his eyes flickering, Tang San had already made a decision in his heart.

As a direct descendant of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Ning Rongrong would definitely cultivate Distraction Control.

Tang San had already done something like stealing a technique once before, so the second time naturally became his subconscious thought.

When Ning Rongrong practiced Distraction Control, he could completely observe and learn from the side in secret.

Anyway, he had to learn it sooner or later, so what was wrong with learning it early?

Half a month later.

Heaven Dou Imperial Academy.

The carriage drove up.

Led by Qin Ming, the group finally returned to Heaven Dou City after traveling for more than two months.

"Everyone has worked hard during this period. Consider the next month a vacation. While relaxing, everyone should properly summarize what you have gained from the training during this time. If you have any questions, you can come directly to me or discuss them with Xiao Quan."

Qin Ming swept his gaze over the group, nodded with satisfaction, and continued: "Although you are resting, you cannot slack off on your daily training and cultivation. In the matter of cultivation, if you do not advance, you retreat. Do you all understand?"

"Understood." The group nodded in response.

In Shi Quan's view, a month of rest was too long. Although a series of high-intensity practical training sessions made relaxation indeed necessary, relaxation is one thing, but these summaries and gains still needed to be quickly digested through a certain amount of training.

But Shi Quan did not raise any objections, because he happened to have some things to do in the next few days, and resting would be convenient for him as well.

As for Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan, after a few days of the cold war, the two finally made up. As for the conflict that caused the argument, both tacitly chose to skip over it, as if the incident had never happened.

Dugu Yan felt that Yu Xiaogang and Yu Tianheng met only once every many years, and she did not know when they would meet next. As for the Shrek Team, they posed no threat to their Imperial Fighting Team. Although Yu Tianheng had leaked information about Shi Quan, fortunately, it did not cause any serious consequences, so she let the matter go for now.

As for Yu Tianheng, he just did not want to argue with Dugu Yan anymore, so he was too lazy to bring it up.

"Xiao Quan, Grandpa is back. He left a letter in my room saying that we should go to Heaven Dou City to find him after we return."

Not long after returning to the Dormitory, Dugu Yan walked out of her room in high spirits.

"Good." Shi Quan stood up and looked at Dugu Yan.

It was just as well; he would take this opportunity to have a good chat with Dugu Bo.

After chatting with Ye Lingling for a while, Shi Quan and Dugu Yan, who had just returned to the Dormitory, stood up again and headed toward Heaven Dou City.

Half an hour later.

Inside a courtyard in Heaven Dou City.

"You've arrived?" As soon as the two entered the courtyard, Dugu Bo's tall figure appeared before them.

"Grandpa, where did you go during this time? Why were you gone for so long?" Dugu Yan hurried into Dugu Bo's arms and hugged him tightly.

Dugu Bo gently stroked Dugu Yan's hair and said softly: "Grandpa went to the Star Luo Empire to find people from the Break Clan."

"The Break Clan?" Dugu Yan looked at Dugu Bo in confusion.

Dugu Bo smiled and explained: "The Break Clan was originally an affiliated sect of the Clear Sky Sect, but because the Clear Sky Sect committed some offenses back then, they were suppressed by the Spirit Hall and became a small clan."

"Grandpa, why did you go looking for this Break Clan?" Dugu Yan asked curiously.

Dugu Yan did not know the Break Clan, but Shi Quan did, and he had already guessed the reason Dugu Bo went to find them.

The Break Clan had an extremely high level of expertise in medicine refining and poison making. In particular, the head of the Break Clan, Yang Wudi, had studied medicine his entire life and could even recognize the Immortal Herb Youxiang Qiluo Immortal Product. It was not impossible that this Yang Wudi also knew of other Immortal Herbs and Spirit Herbs.

Dugu Bo coughed a few times and replied: "I went to find them to discuss pharmacology."

Shi Quan smiled upon hearing this. It seemed that Dugu Bo's trip had not been very smooth, and it was very likely that they had even resorted to force; otherwise, how could it have taken so long, and he might have even suffered a loss.

After all, the combat power Yang Wudi displayed in the original work was enough to withstand a Title Douluo.

Shi Quan then asked: "Grandpa Dugu, how was the harvest from your trip?"

At the mention of the harvest, Dugu Bo's eyes suddenly lit up, "Xiao Quan, if what you said before is true, then the poison in my body will no longer be a problem..."
