"You little bastard, are you sure you want to use this potion of mine of unknown efficacy to pay off your debt?"
Dugu Bo stared at Yu Xiaowei, his face full of 'I can't believe it, you want to trick me again' expression.
Having been tricked twice in a row, he had become smarter now. As long as Yu Xiaowei opened her mouth, it was 100% certain that something bad would happen.
"Senior, look, I've even brought your creditors to you. As long as you give me two unused herbs, we can pay off that debt together with the interest."
Yu Xiaowei added at the end.
"This is fair trade, there is no cheating, you only make money and there is no loss."
Dugu Bo narrowed his eyes and said nothing, thinking silently in his mind,
"Although this potion is amazing, I can't drink it myself. It's not easy to repay a huge debt of 3 million gold soul coins. How about giving it to that kid to pay off his debt?"
Once this idea came to his mind, he couldn't help thinking about the advantages of paying off the debt in this way. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this way of paying off debts would benefit him in every way. As for whether Yu Xiaowei would deceive him again, it was no longer a consideration for him.
"Alright, I promise, but I have to explain first that the potion I have is most likely poisonous. If anything happens to you after eating it, I will not be responsible."
"Senior, you are wise."
Yu Xiaowei was waiting for these words.
Seeing her beaming face, Dugu Bo felt a little nervous for no reason. He thought for a moment and then took out a pen and paper from his soul guide.
"Words are not enough, let's write it down. When your uncle comes to make trouble, I'll have proof that you did it yourself."
Yu Xiaowei said nothing, took the paper and pen, and started writing with a wave of her hand.
(Today I received __ herbs from Poison Douluo Dugu Bo to settle my debt. A debt of 3 million gold soul coins has been settled. Notes: If I have an accident due to consuming the herbs, then I am solely responsible and it has nothing to do with Dugu Bo."]
After signing her name on the back, Yu Xiaowei handed over the note.
Dugu Bo asked with a frown after examining it carefully.
"Why is the land signed in the name of a bastard like you? Isn't the creditor this girl?"
"Hey, signing my name is the same as signing Rongrong's name, right, Rongrong?"
Ning Rongrong nodded repeatedly after hearing this.
Dugu Bo looked at them playfully, then pointed to the empty space left by Yu Xiaowei and asked.
"I can give you two herbs."
"Ten."
"Do you think this is Blue Silver Grass?"
Dugu Bo was so angry that he laughed, "Three at most."
"Looks like you're not sincere anymore. Rongrong, let's go. Senior, we will never meet again. Please find someone else to help you overcome your poison. I can't do anything."
Yu Xiaowei shook her head and sighed, pulling Ning Rongrong as if to leave.
"Stop!"
Dugu Bo shouted, paced back and forth a few times, then stretched out his five fingers with a broken heart, "Five plants, at most. If you don't agree, I'd rather return 3 million gold soul coins."
"Senior is so generous~"
Yu Xiaowei smiled and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.
...
A moment later.
Yu Xiaowei pointed to the three magic herbs and said to Dugu Bo who was sitting by the pool with his eyes closed.
"Senior, I have selected three plants temporarily. The rest I will leave to you. You must not neglect your duty."
Dugu Bo opened his eyes and looked at Yu Xiaowei's finger with an unfriendly expression.
The one Yu Xiaowei selected was a star fennel with large white flowers, with the stamens in the center sparkling like ice crystals; another was a cabbage-looking plant, with a fiery red body; and the last was a golden tulip.
Star anise, black ice grass, fiery apricots, and gorgeous tulips.
These are also the three most recognizable fairy herbs in the original work. In addition, Yu Xiaowei can only recognize the eight-petal fairy orchid and the cockscomb sunflower. He is not sure if the names of the other fairy herbs are the ones he remembers.
The three types he chose could be picked up by him and Ning Rongrong today, eliminating the problem of storage and access.
Upon seeing the Star Anise and Fiery Apricot Mysterious Ice Grass, Dugu Bo's expression changed drastically and he swore angrily.
"Little bastard, are you kidding?"
"These two plants are the most poisonous plants I have. If you want to die, go back to the Blue Lightning Family and kill yourself. Don't mess with me."
Yu Xiaowei laughed shamelessly,
"Senior, what are you saying? I value my life so much. Since I dare to choose these two potions, I must have a way to drink them safely."
"Are you serious?"
"How could I possibly joke about my own life? I just need you to protect us when the time comes."
Dugu Bo looked at her with narrowed eyes. After a long time, he nodded slowly and let out a word from between his teeth.
"Okay."
...
The Eight-Cornered Mysterious Ice Grass and the Fiery Apricot were what Yu Xiaowei prepared for himself. Combined with the Yin-Yang Spring of Ice and Fire, he was able to create a golden body for himself that was resistant to both water and fire.
It's just that he is not ready to absorb it now.
One is that he wants to wait until he reaches level 39 and use the power of medicine to break through the level 40 bottleneck, and then go to the Sunset Forest to hunt the soul ring in person.
Another thing is that Ning Rongrong can't stand it anymore. Although Yu Xiaowei had used her soul power to protect her, after all, she was just an auxiliary soul master. Her health was too weak and she was already showing some discomfort.
"Senior, please protect Rongrong."
Dugu Bo looked at her in surprise, "What about you? You don't want to take herbal medicine?"
"Rongrong can't stand the aura here. I'm afraid something will happen later."
"Oh, I didn't expect you to care about your little lover."
After sneering, Dugu Bo showed his true martial arts form, just like when he was protecting Yu Xiaowei, helping Ning Rongrong isolate the ice and fire aura.
After picking Qiluo tulips, Yu Xiaowei gave Ning Rongrong serious instructions.
"Rongrong, the herb I have selected for you has absorbed the essence of heaven and earth. It is a rare immortal product, and has the effect of strengthening the body and consolidating the foundation."
"After you drink it, no matter what changes occur, remember not to tell anyone except Uncle Ning, Grandpa Jian, and Grandpa Gu, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble for Dugu Senior."
Ning Rongrong nodded obediently.
Dugu Bo, who had transformed into the Green Phosphorus Snake King, was stunned after hearing this, and a smile appeared on his cold face.
"I will also keep my mouth shut about this little girl's business."
"Thank you, senior."
Yu Xiaowei thanked him and put the Qiluo tulip in Ning Rongrong's hand.
"Don't swallow it. Gently inhale the pistil and slowly absorb the essence into your body. Then use your soul power to move it around, so that its medicinal properties can spread throughout your limbs and bones."
Seeing Ning Rongrong taking the Qiluo tulip as instructed, Yu Xiaowei sat beside her and practiced while watching her condition carefully.
Soon.
Ning Rongrong's body began to change.
At first, a fragrant floral fragrance accompanied by golden light emanated from her body, then the Seven Treasures Glazed Tower appeared automatically, hovering quietly before her, emitting a dazzling halo of colorful light.
That golden light grew stronger and stronger, illuminating the emerald green Phosphorus Snake King into a golden color.
As time passed, the golden light gradually faded away. When it completely disappeared, Ning Rongrong awoke.
"Brother Xiaowei, me, I'm level 29!"
After checking her own status, she couldn't help but rush forward and hug Yu Xiaowei's neck while shouting for joy.
Looking at Ning Rongrong who was cheering happily, Yu Xiaowei smiled and said,
"Look at your Seven-Ply Treasure Tower."
Ning Rongrong was stunned for a moment, then summoned the Seven Treasures Glazed Tower and held it in her hands.
"One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine."
"Nine? How can it be nine levels!"
Ning Rongrong closed her mouth, her voice trembling slightly.
Previously, she had been praised by Ning Fengzhi because she was most likely the only genius in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect for hundreds of years who had the opportunity to transform the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda into the Eight Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.
And today he found himself transforming into the legendary Nine Treasures Glass Tower.
Tears slowly blurred her eyes, and she couldn't help but throw herself into Yu Xiaowei's arms and start crying.
