Chapter 113: Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng, Yue Guan: Hu Bai Is Still Too Moral!
Hiss~~
After saying that, Hu Bai suddenly felt a soft touch on his waist, which then twisted his tender flesh—pain!
Caught so off guard, Hu Bai's eyes became slightly moist from the pain. He secretly glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw Qian Renxue's cheeks puffed out, glaring at him.
Hu Bai: ...
Ahem, he only swore such a venomous oath because he was absolutely confident.
Moreover, perhaps because he was from Blue Star in his previous life, he didn't believe that swearing oaths was effective.
He believed in fate a little, but not in oaths.
Hu Bai looked at Bai He with a teasing expression, his meaning clear: Since you said there's no certainty within the sect, do you dare to swear an oath like I just did?
Qian Renxue's actions naturally caught the attention of Yang Wudi, Bai He, and others.
Bai He wanted to divert attention: "This is?"
Qian Renxue smiled slightly and joked, "Someone's fiancée whom he swore he didn't want."
Hu Bai: ...
"Ahem, Sister Xue, I didn't mean that."
"Hmph, who knows?" Qian Renxue snorted proudly, looking very cute.
Her tsundere nature was different from the two-dimensional blonde tsunderes Hu Bai had seen in his previous life; it wasn't at all artificial.
"Fiancée?!"
Not just Bai He, even Yang Wudi was shocked.
Hu Bai, at such a young age, already had a fiancée? Hu Bai hadn't mentioned this during their time together.
Yang Wudi asked in a low voice, "Whose descendant from Spirit Hall is this fiancée of yours?"
Hu Bai smiled, "Oh, right, Senior Yang Wudi, I haven't really introduced Sister Xue to you. Her surname is Qian; she's Qian Daoliu's granddaughter and also my fiancée. However, this is just something we've discussed privately; the other people in Spirit Hall don't know yet."
Qian Daoliu's granddaughter!
Holy cow!
Qian Renxue looked at the shocked individuals, her face slightly red, but she still maintained a faint smile.
However, Yang Wudi quickly recovered. By now, he clearly understood that Bai He definitely possessed treasures he didn't know about.
Yang Wudi looked at Bai He with a very serious expression: "Old Goat, we've been brothers for so many years—surely you haven't been pretending to be poor all this time? What treasures do you have that I don't know about? Do you think I'd take them if I knew?"
Seeing that he couldn't feign ignorance any longer, Bai He could only smile helplessly: "I do have a treasure whose purpose I don't know—it's an ancestral legacy."
As he spoke, a delicate box appeared in Bai He's hand: "This box contains a very precious-looking herb. The reason I didn't tell you is actually because I was afraid you'd take it and refine it." Bai He said, his expression slightly awkward.
Yang Wudi looked at Bai He for a few seconds, then sighed slightly: "Ah, Old White Bird, I never thought that's how you saw me. You don't even trust your own brother!"
To be honest, Yang Wudi did feel a little disheartened.
"Old Goat, I didn't mean that…" Bai He knew Yang Wudi's feelings, but this herb did look extraordinary, even though he knew what kind of person Yang Wudi was.
"Kid, are you satisfied now?" Bai He glared at Hu Bai.
Hu Bai looked at the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng lying in the box, and a slight smirk appeared on his lips: "How about we use this as a wager? This Immortal Herb is useful to me."
Bai He: "That's impossible! This herb has been passed down to me, and it absolutely cannot be broken. It's too precious, so precious that I can't even bear to consume it myself."
Hu Bai smiled: "Could it be that Senior Bai He is afraid of losing to me? My martial soul is the Nine-Tailed Sky Fox, not a speed-type, while you are a pure agility-attack system. Could it be that at the same level as me, you can't catch me?"
"Moreover, keeping this Immortal Herb won't help your sect at all. I can give you two betting options: First, I'll exchange a soul bone over ten thousand years old with you. Second, I can allow the soul masters of your Speed Clan to break free from the shackles of the pure agility system, enabling your future clansmen to become true agility-attack system soul masters."
As he spoke, a golden glowing soul bone appeared in Hu Bai's hand. It was the thirty-thousand-year Radiant Saber-tooth Tiger right arm bone that Qian Renxue had given him after hunting a martial soul beast.
"This soul bone comes from a thirty-thousand-year Radiant Saber-tooth Tiger. In terms of rarity, it can compare to a forty-thousand-year soul bone. Although it's not suitable for your Speed Clan, if you win, you can exchange it with Spirit Hall for other soul bones that suit you. How about it?"
In the Void, Yue Guan saw this light-attribute soul bone, and envy appeared in his eyes. This soul bone was suitable for him!
His Singular Velvet Sky Reaching Chrysanthemum had a light attribute!
Otherwise, how could it be one yin and one yang with Gui Mei?
This was still produced by the extremely rare Radiant Sabretooth Tiger, and Hu Bai was actually willing to exchange it for that Immortal Herb with Bai He.
But to be honest, that Immortal Herb was indeed worth the price.
In fact, if he had to choose, he would choose that Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng over the soul bone.
Because the quality of the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng in Bai He's hand was enough to rival the Yearning Heartbroken Red!
And rumor has it that the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng and the Yearning Heartbroken Red are related. If they can be consumed together, then the soul master's strength…
Now, Yue Guan understood. Hu Bai probably wanted Qian Renxue to consume this Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng!
Yue Guan sighed in his heart, envious! Truly envious!
Hu Bai was truly too good to Qian Renxue!
Not only did he give her the King of Immortal Herbs, the Yearning Heartbroken Red, but now he even wanted to give her the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng.
However, if it were him, he would probably just snatch it directly. Hu Bai was still too moral.
He had been active on the continent for so long, and now he believed that treasures belonged to the capable.
And Hu Bai was even willing to exchange it for a soul bone—he truly thought too highly of the Speed Clan.
But such a Hu Bai was worthy of his loyalty!
By pledging allegiance to someone with good conduct, his future would be bright!
With his and Gui Mei's talent, even if they consumed an Immortal Herb, due to their advanced age, their talent had pretty much reached its peak. Their future would most likely stop at rank ninety-seven.
But their current soul bones were not yet complete. With Hu Bai's luck, he might not lack soul bones in the future. And if the two of them wholeheartedly assisted Hu Bai, they might be able to gather a full set of soul bones and break through to rank ninety-eight!
As for rank ninety-nine, the two of them didn't even dare to imagine it.
After all, even a powerhouse like the Second Elder, whose ninth soul ring was a hundred-thousand-year one, was now stuck at level ninety-eight!
Yue Guan didn't believe that the Golden Crocodile Douluo didn't have a full set of soul bones, and he even had a hundred-thousand-year-old one!
The age and quality of soul rings and soul bones are still very important to Soul Masters.
Good soul rings and soul bones could subtly improve a Soul Master's cultivation talent. This has always been common knowledge in the Soul Master world!
