Chapter 27 A Delicious Food in Douluo Continent
After thinking for a few seconds, Dugu Lin smiled and said, "Sister Lingling, go back and tell Grandpa Ye that my grandfather has a way to help you obtain the first ring of the millennium! Then have your grandfather come to our Dugu Mansion."
"The first ring of a thousand years?"
Ye Lingling looked at Dugu Yan with a questioning gaze. Dugu Yan blinked a few times, then nodded to Ye Lingling and said, "Lingling, my grandfather really has a way. You can trust me."
Dugu Yan had been repeatedly instructed not to reveal the age of her soul ring, nor her cultivation level.
Therefore, even her closest best friend doesn't know her soul power level and soul ring configuration.
"Oh~" Ye Lingling said, but it was unclear whether she had actually listened.
After Ye Lingling returned, Dugu Lin found Dugu Bo, who was in seclusion in the cultivation room, and told him what had happened. Dugu Bo gave him his full approval, and even started to think about Ye Lingling on behalf of his grandson.
The next day.
Ye Lingling and her grandfather Ye Renxin paid a visit.
Dugu Bo smiled and looked at Ye Renxin, saying, "Old man Ye, how long has it been since you last visited my Dugu residence?"
Ye Renxin smiled and then exchanged pleasantries, saying, "It's just that the threshold of your Dugu family is too high. How could an old man like me dare to come here? Hmm? Old monster, judging from your complexion, has the defect of your Jade Phosphor Serpent Martial Soul really been resolved?"
"Yes..." Dugu Bo was filled with emotion.
The two individuals, one due to the venom of the Jade Phosphor Serpent and the other due to the 'mysterious curse' of the Nine-Heart Begonia, had troubled their respective clans for generations.
Although both of them developed eccentric personalities due to defects in their martial souls, they shared a similar plight and could empathize with each other, so their relationship was quite good. While they might not have been life-or-death friends, they were definitely half-family friends.
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Butler Fu served tea, and Ye Renxin asked, "Old monster, what you called the first ring of the millennium... are you just making fun of me?"
Getting to the point, Dugu Bo looked at Ye Lingling and said, "Lingling, go find Yan'er to play."
"Yes, Grandpa Dugu."
After Ye Lingling left, Dugu Bo's expression turned serious, and he said, "Old Ye, I've discovered a medicinal herb that can greatly enhance a Soul Master's physical attributes, allowing them to obtain the first ring of two thousand years and the second ring of five thousand years without any problem!"
"Really?"
Ye Renxin's expression changed slightly, and he was deeply shocked. He could imagine that if everything was as Dugu Bo said, the relationships and interests involved would be enormous!
The best configuration of yellow, yellow, purple, and purple soul rings, which has been passed down for tens of thousands of years, is about to be shaken!
The benefits involved are far beyond what his Dugu clan could possibly reap alone!
The Spirit Hall, two great empires, seven major sects—who wouldn't want the first ring of the Spirit Realm two thousand years ago and the second ring of the Spirit Realm five thousand years ago? They all definitely want to get involved! With so many forces involved, even a Title Douluo could die quietly because of this.
After pondering for a long time, Ye Renxin tentatively asked, "Is this medicinal herb... easy to obtain?"
"Not much, but not a small amount either. I currently have enough for ten people."
"Is that so..." Ye Renxin stroked his mustache and asked, "Old monster, given our relationship, let's be frank, what price do you need me to pay for you to tell me about this medicinal herb?"
If this information were to be revealed, it would be a disaster that wipes out the entire clan! Since Dugu Bo was willing to tell the truth, Ye Renxin could naturally guess that Dugu Bo had some schemes and demands.
"There's no rush yet."
When the topic turned to the important issue, Dugu Bo suddenly made a sharp turn and said, "I think your Lingling is incredibly cute and beautiful, and my Lin'er is also exceptionally handsome and talented. How about we arrange a marriage between our two families?"
"What?! Old monster, what did you say?"
Ye Renxin nearly lost his composure; his finger pointing at Dugu Bo trembled slightly. But then, a thought struck him: the recent rumors about the marriage alliance between Dugu Yan and the First Prince, Xue Qinghe. Ye Renxin murmured to himself, 'Could it be... that the old monster is thinking of finding someone for Dugu Lin to rely on as well?'
As the world's number one healing-type Soul Master, countless forces have to give Ye Renxin face! Ye Lingling's popularity is in no way inferior to that of the titled granddaughter, Dugu Yan. This is because both Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling have a powerful backer with immense influence!
Besides these two, there are also Qian Renxue, Ning Rongrong, and others, all of whom are highly sought-after and perfect candidates for living off women.
Dugu Bo reached out and pressed down Ye Renxin's fingers, explaining, "My grandson is an exceptional man, more than a match for your Lingling."
"A dragon among men? A dragon among men with half a level of innate soul power?" Ye Renxin's lips twitched. Although he was a little embarrassed to mention Dugu Lin's half-level innate soul power in front of Dugu Bo, Dugu Bo was going to marry his granddaughter to a good-for-nothing, so Ye Renxin couldn't care less.
Unexpectedly, Ye Renxin thought that after poking a nerve with Dugu Bo, Dugu Bo would get angry, and then the two would have a big fight and part on bad terms.
As a result, Dugu Bo calmly stroked his beard and laughed, "Hahaha~~ How could you possibly imagine the talent of my grandson?"
"Your grandson's talent? What kind of talent does your grandson have?"
"My grandson's martial spirit is a one-in-a-million detached martial spirit!"
"Huh? A separated martial spirit?" Ye Renxin was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but ask, "Old monster, what are you talking about? What is a separated martial spirit?"
The first person to possess a separated martial soul was Yu Xiaogang, but that doesn't mean everyone knows this concept.
Dugu Bo waved his hand, unwilling to explain, and said, "In short, you just need to know that a separated martial soul is a talent that is one in ten thousand! Even if you were to trade my grandson's talent for innate full soul power and a top-tier martial soul, I wouldn't be willing to do it!"
Dugu Lin's talent for detached martial soul will be exposed sooner or later, and Dugu Bo doesn't mind revealing it first.
But even if the separated martial soul is exposed, so what? There's still the best camouflage: innate half-level soul power!
"So, it really is a great talent?" Ye Renxin didn't believe it at all.
"How could it be fake?" Dugu Bo picked up his teacup, a smirk playing on his lips as he took a sip.
Seeing that Dugu Bo's upturned lips were impossible to suppress, Ye Renxin thought to himself, 'Judging from the old monster's smug expression, he doesn't seem to be lying...'
After hesitating for a while, Ye Renxin still refused to budge, waving his hand and saying, "Apart from arranging the betrothal, you can name any other conditions!"
Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo also resorted to his shameless ways, waving his hand and saying, "As long as the betrothal is arranged, you can name whatever conditions you want."
Just as the two old men were arguing, Dugu Lin walked in from outside and called out, "Ahem~ Grandpa, Grandpa Ye."
At this moment, Ye Renxin looked at Dugu Lin with increasing displeasure.
Dugu Lin was also exasperated, rolled his eyes at Dugu Bo, and said, "Grandpa, didn't you say you were going to arrange a marriage between me and Meng Yiran, the eldest daughter of the Dragon and Snake family? How come you're arranging a marriage between me and Sister Lingling now?"
"Huh?" Dugu Bo was stunned for a moment, looking at his grandson with confusion, not understanding why his grandson was trying to undermine him at this time.
"Well, you old monster! You want my granddaughter to be your concubine? Have you no shame!" Ye Renxin was so angry that his face turned red. If he hadn't been outmatched, he would have already started a fight.
"Grandpa Ye, calm down."
"Hmph~"
In front of the child, Ye Renxin gave Dugu Bo a cold snort, but didn't really get angry.
