Chapter 18 Dugu Yan's Jealousy
After handing over the medicine bottle, Dugu Bo was stunned. This was the first time he had taught a disciple, and he didn't know how to proceed.
Teaching basic knowledge?
He doesn't have that much free time.
Provide cultivation resources?
To be honest, he wasn't wealthy. These things were all gifts from others. His granddaughter didn't spend much money either; the biggest expense was the pills he provided.
Teaching someone to fight?
In this form, Mo Xiaozi possesses a variety of soul skills, comprehensive and diverse. What he needs to do now is to solidify his foundation and diligently cultivate.
"You brat, go practice on your own. Ask me if you don't understand anything."
Dugu Bo waved his hand and decided to let Xie Mo grow up on his own. It's normal for geniuses to cultivate on their own.
"what?"
Xie Mo was filled with questions. "Are you just making things up like this? You're going to beat me up and then abandon me?"
"What if I can't find you? After all, you're always traveling far away."
Xie Mo looked at Dugu Bo with a resentful expression, his eyes practically screaming "Take me with you!" He wanted to eat the immortal herb.
"Ahem, then wait for me to come back. If Yan'er can get used to it, I'm sure you can too."
Dugu Bo actually thought about it for a moment, and considering the conflict between the ice and fire energies in his herb garden, he decided to abandon Xie Mo.
"Don't worry, I'll hold a formal apprenticeship ceremony for you in a couple of days so that all the major powers will recognize your identity. Although I think the higher-ups already know about your situation."
Dugu Bo gently patted Xie Mo's shoulder, reassuring him.
Xie Mo looked incredulous. He wasn't the type to cause trouble. Although he had stabbed thugs, tricked villagers, and killed soul beasts without hesitation, he was still undoubtedly a good kid.
"Ahem, take a good look at those books in the Ruyi Hundred Treasures Pouch. They contain some knowledge and experience that I have summarized myself, as well as the inheritance that I stole after killing other Soul Masters. It's always good to know more."
Dugu Bo raised an eyebrow, as if he had remembered something.
"Master, I can't read."
Xie Mo drawled out his words. Although he had loaded the language pack, he could only speak so far.
Since the two orphans had no hope of attending school, Xie Mo was actually illiterate, which was a disgrace to the transmigrators.
Dugu Bo suddenly felt lost and dejected. It was actually his son and daughter-in-law who taught Dugu Yan to read. He still clearly remembered the warm scenes of the family, but things had changed and now only the grandfather and granddaughter were left.
but……
Looking at Xie Mo, who was shrouded in mystery, Dugu Bo also looked forward to the other party fully integrating into this family.
"If you can read, just look for the wild goose."
Dugu Bo sighed and turned to leave, his back view looking much older.
Xie Mo stared wide-eyed at Dugu Bo as he walked away.
No, Master, are you disgusted with me?
Due to the information gap, a strange misunderstanding arose between the two.
The autumn wind blew down a few leaves that had been shaken to the ground earlier, which swirled in the air and drifted with the wind before finally landing on Xie Mo's head.
Xie Mo felt the touch on his head, picked off the leaf, glanced at its intricate patterns, and casually tossed it away.
"Time..."
"I'll crush you all."
Xie Mo hurried back to his room, preparing to begin his cultivation. He knew that the immortal herbs would eventually come, but his own efforts were essential before they arrived.
He sat cross-legged on the bed and took out the two porcelain bottles that Dugu Bo had given him. The green one was for replenishing soul power and physical strength, while the purple one was for accelerating cultivation.
Tilting the purple porcelain bottle over, the round pills slid out from the mouth of the bottle.
Xie Mo stuffed the extra pills back in, then picked up the remaining brown pill and examined it carefully.
The pill had a smooth surface, and when I sniffed it, I could faintly smell a pungent odor.
"poisonous?"
Xie Mo murmured something, then swallowed the pill.
A faint stinging sensation filled his body, and Xie Mo began to meditate.
A moment later, Xie Mo opened his eyes in surprise, his cultivation efficiency was about one-third faster than before.
Xie Mo used the Five Elements Purification to expel the toxins from his body and continued his cultivation diligently.
Cultivation knows no time, and before they knew it, night had fallen. Xie Mo opened his eyes to find a candle casting a warm glow in the room.
Xie Mo didn't think about who lit the lamp; he was just pondering the effects of the pills.
Now he roughly understands the function of this bottle of pills. The herbs, when combined, can increase the strength of the meridians in a short period of time, thereby increasing the efficiency of cultivation during meditation. The only drawback is that there may be some poisonous herbs in it. Putting aside the poison, this thing is a cultivation artifact in the current Douluo Continent.
As for why Dugu Yan was having diarrhea, Xie Mo guessed that Dugu Bo was afraid to give her any more food. She was already quite poisoned, and giving her more food was probably to make her see her parents sooner.
Having figured this out, Xie Mo touched his rumbling stomach, got out of bed, and walked out of the room with the help of the candlelight.
He stretched and noticed that, unlike inside the room, the Dugu mansion was brightly lit. Dugu Bo would not allow his granddaughter to suffer, so the mansion was not actually deserted.
After asking a passing maid, Xie Mo followed her into the hall, where Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan were chatting, with steaming food on the table.
"Oh, you've finished your training."
Dugu Yan's tone was clearly sour, and Xie Mo couldn't figure out what he had done to offend her.
"Sister Yan, my master asked me to find you to teach me to read. I'll be relying on you from now on."
Xie Mo decisively changed the subject. Although he didn't know why he had become so jealous, it was better to just change the subject.
Dugu Yan glanced at Dugu Bo beside her, and then chuckled as if she had thought of something.
"Come and eat. We've been waiting for you for a while. If you don't wake up soon, we'll eat by ourselves."
Dugu Yan waved, her short purple hair shimmering under the light.
Xie Mo sat down obediently, and the enticing aroma wafted into his nose.
"This was specially prepared by the imperial chef that my grandfather invited from the palace. Most of the ingredients are produced from soul beasts. My grandfather only has someone cook this meal for me every year on my birthday."
After hearing Dugu Yan's words, Xie Mo understood why Dugu Yan had been so jealous before; she must have felt that some of the affection she received had been diverted.
Dugu Bo remained silent with a cold expression. He had actually been aloof for a long time and was somewhat at a loss when Xie Mo arrived.
But even though he couldn't say it, he still quietly did things for Xie Mo.
"Thank you, Master!"
Xie Mo was grateful. He hadn't made a mistake in choosing this master. The next time the other party hit him, he wouldn't curse the other party as an old bastard the first time he was hit. It would be a loving lash.
A smile appeared on Dugu Bo's stiff face, showing that he was still very pleased with Xie Mo's gratitude.
"Come, let me introduce you. This is a gathering of heroes, made from five different thousand-year-old radish spirit beasts. And this pot of dragon and tiger fighting is made from the meat of a thousand-year-old white tiger and a thousand-year-old earth dragon. Moreover, to ensure freshness, they are all captured and transported to the outside of Tiandou City for slaughter. Today's portion was given to us by the emperor."
Xie Mo looked surprised as he listened to Dugu Yan's introduction. No wonder Dugu Yan was like that. She snatched food from the emperor's mouth for him. She truly deserves to be called Dugu Bo.
No wonder Dugu Bo rarely makes this. It would be very expensive if the Soul Hunting Team were to capture it, and Dugu Bo doesn't like owing favors. This kind of dish doesn't have much effect on cultivation, so he only makes it on his birthday.
I wonder what Hongjun is eating right now?
Xie Mo pushed aside the thought that suddenly popped into his mind; he shouldn't think so much while eating.
"Master, please go first!"
Today is the last day. The results will be released tomorrow afternoon. Please support me, dear readers! I want to advance!
