49: This is the land of love!

"Immortal Plant?"

"Grandpa, what is an Immortal Plant?"

Dugu Yan instinctively looked at Dugu Bo, but the latter had an awkward expression on his face.

Dugu Bo knew absolutely nothing about Immortal Plants.

He knew that the two herbs Su Wen had consumed had caused some special changes in his body.

But he didn't know anything more specific than that.

"An Immortal Plant can allow a piece of trash with Innate Level 5, Level 1, or even Innate Level 0.5 to instantly possess the cultivation speed of someone with Innate Full Spirit Power."

Su Wen saw Dugu Bo's embarrassment and couldn't help but step in to explain for him.

Dugu Yan was shocked, and Dugu Bo's eyes widened even further. He knew Immortal Plants were powerful, but he hadn't expected them to be this formidable.

According to Su Wen, wouldn't every Immortal Plant be able to nurture a Titled Douluo!

"How is this possible... How could there be such a miraculous thing in this world!"

Dugu Yan was somewhat skeptical; what Su Wen said was a bit too inconceivable.

Su Wen didn't continue explaining.

He took a box out of his spirit tool.

Upon opening it, inside was a plant that was crystal clear and snow-white all over. Each leaf carried a faint, watery glow, and the overall curved and extended shape of the Immortal Plant resembled the long, slender neck of a swan.

"This is called the snow-colored swans kiss. It doesn't contain toxins itself, but it can amplify toxins by hundreds or thousands of times."

As soon as Su Wen spoke, Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan froze in place.

This tiny little plant actually had such a special ability?!

"Kid... you're not lying to me, are you?"

Dugu Bo looked skeptical on the surface, but he was already tempted. He had personally witnessed Su Wen's changes at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well; even if it wasn't as exaggerated as described, it definitely couldn't be underestimated.

Su Wen smiled and said, "Whether you believe it or not is up to you; whether I say it or not is up to me."

"You can't touch it yet, as it would cause the toxins in your bodies to multiply infinitely. Once you transfer all the toxins into your Spirit Bones and use the snow-colored swans kiss when launching poison attacks, I think there probably won't be anyone on this continent who can cure your poison."

"Of course, it's also dangerous for you. So if you want to use the snow-colored swans kiss or refine it, the Spirit Bone you possess must be at least fifty thousand years old. That way, even if you accidentally amplify the toxins in your body, the Spirit Bone can withstand it, and there won't be any danger if you expel it in time."

As Su Wen spoke, he closed the box of the snow-colored swans kiss again and put it back into the spirit tool under the eager gazes of Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan.

"When you've resolved your own issues, come to me to take this Immortal Plant."

Dugu Bo's mouth twitched. "Su Wen, I remember you should have quite a few Immortal Plants on you, right?"

He had personally watched Su Wen strip the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well of its plants.

Not a single one was left.

The ground had been overturned, and he had even unearthed a huge secret.

"Hehe, Senior Dugu, this is our deal."

"I said I'd give you one Immortal Plant, and I'll give you one; my word is my bond. Of course, if you join the Spirit Hall and become one of our own, that would be a different story."

Su Wen's words were very clear, and Dugu Bo understood them perfectly.

Dugu Bo was willing to join the Spirit Hall, but he wanted a ten-thousand-year Spirit Bone.

In other words, without a ten-thousand-year Spirit Bone, he would leave immediately.

The relationship between the two sides was still one of mutual interest.

Most importantly, there was another point: Dugu Yan's future path might lead her to be with Yu Tianheng.

Was he supposed to give her an Immortal Plant just so she and Yu Tianheng could attack the Spirit Hall together?

This is the Continent of Love, after all; Dugu Bo probably wouldn't be able to stop it even if he wanted to.

"Hehe... This old man will stay in Spirit City for a while. I believe that the vast Spirit Hall will be able to produce a ten-thousand-year Spirit Bone."

When Su Wen bid farewell to Dugu Bo, he didn't have much confidence in his heart.

Bibi Dong viewed Spirit Bones as very precious; he had never heard of any Titled Douluo in the Elder Palace receiving a Spirit Bone as a reward.

"Su Wen, did that Old Poison not agree?"

On the way back to the Supreme Pontiff Palace, Chrysanthemum Douluo saw that Su Wen's expression was off and immediately snorted coldly. "It's just as well if he didn't agree. We'll just take the opportunity to kill him while he's in Spirit City."

A hint of anticipation appeared on Chrysanthemum Douluo's face; rather than having Dugu Bo join, he preferred for the man to die here.

"Elder Ju, let's wait until I see my teacher."

Upon arriving at the Supreme Pontiff Palace, Su Wen led Hu Liena into the main hall with practiced ease.

Bibi Dong was sitting on the Supreme Pontiff's throne, handling Spirit Hall affairs as usual.

"You're back!"

Seeing the two of them, the slight frown on Bibi Dong's brow smoothed out.

A hint of a smile appeared in her eyes. "Go to the courtyard and wait for me first. I'll head over once I've finished with these."

"Teacher, no fighting today. There's something I need to discuss."

Su Wen approached and told Bibi Dong about Dugu Bo's situation.

"How did you get involved with Dugu Bo?"

Bibi Dong raised an eyebrow slightly.

Su Wen was speechless.

Shouldn't she be focusing on the ten-thousand-year Spirit Bone?

He said casually, "I ran into him by chance last time I was getting a spirit ring with Aunt Ye. I saw that he looked a bit abnormal, like he was poisoned..."

"Hehe, so he really is poisoned?"

Bibi Dong looked at him with a smile, but shock welled up in her heart.

Little Wen could actually tell even that.

"Teacher, do we have any Spirit Bones?"

Su Wen got straight to the point.

Bibi Dong fell silent for a moment. Trading a ten-thousand-year Spirit Bone for the allegiance of a Titled Douluo was indeed a good deal.

However, once this precedent was set, if other Titled Douluos came in the future and all demanded ten-thousand-year Spirit Bones, even the Spirit Hall wouldn't be able to handle such a drain.

Most importantly, what would the other Elders think?

As a ruler, Bibi Dong had to consider many factors.

She pondered for a moment, then stood up and vanished from the spot.

Just as Su Wen and Hu Liena were feeling puzzled, they heard Bibi Dong's voice transmission in their ears: "Go to the courtyard and wait for me first."

...Half an hour later.

Bibi Dong's figure appeared in Su Wen's courtyard.

"Teacher!"

The Supreme Pontiff attire on Bibi Dong was gone, replaced by a set of short, practical clothing, with her hair tied up high.

She held a long sword in her hand, looking quite heroic and valiant. "Little Wen, I've agreed. However, don't make the matter of Dugu Bo public for the time being."

As she spoke, a Spirit Bone landed in Su Wen's hand. A look of joy appeared on his face; it turned out Bibi Dong had gone to retrieve the Spirit Bone.

Before Su Wen could take a closer look, Bibi Dong had already charged over with her long sword, accompanied by a sharp voice: "Today's practical combat class begins. Both of you, attack together."

*Buzz!*

The red oiled paper umbrella floated out, and Hong Dou appeared first.

Upon her appearance, several iron chains suddenly rose from beneath her feet.

Each iron chain burned with nether flames, coiling toward the enemy as if they possessed a life of their own.

The weapon in Bibi Dong's hand swung left and right, making a clanging sound as it rubbed against the iron chains.

Hu Liena attacked from the side, and as she underwent Martial Soul Possession, Fox Fire rose in her hands.

With a wave of her hand, dozens of Fox Fire balls smashed toward Bibi Dong.

Seeing this, Bibi Dong suddenly leaped, her body jumping high into the air.
