Chapter 32: Dragon Takes Medicine
Hearing Ning Bei's shout, Chen Xin and Gu Rong breathed a sigh of relief and quickly returned to their sides, preparing to take him away.
However, before the two could act, a sudden tearing sensation in the space around them occurred. A man clad in a black python robe appeared from the rift in space, grabbed Ning Bei, and then disappeared back into the rift.
Ning Fengzhi, the two Title Douluos, and the others, seeing this scene, were filled with shock and fury. Ning Bei was the hope of the entire Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School; they couldn't imagine what would happen if anything were to happen to him.
"Who is it? Come out now!"
"Bei'er!"
The two Title Douluos angrily attacked the surrounding air, hoping to catch the thief. However, the surroundings were completely silent. If it weren't for Ning Bei disappearing in front of their eyes, they might have thought nothing had happened.
Although Ning Fengzhi was frantic, he still stopped Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo from charging ahead.
"Uncle Bone, Uncle Sword, we'll leave for now. After the soul beasts disperse, we'll come back and search."
Hearing this, the two Title Douluos regained their composure. The soul beasts were still watching them warily, and it wasn't safe to stay here for too long. They quickly grabbed Ning Fengzhi, and the three of them flew out of the forest, intending to return after the soul beasts had dispersed.
All that remained were countless soul beasts, roaring in frustration with no targets.
On the outskirts of the Star Dou Forest, the three figures appeared.
"Fengzhi, what's going on? Who is that person in the black robe?"
Gu Rong set Ning Fengzhi down and asked angrily. Ning Bei had grown up under his watch. Not only did they have a deep bond, but his potential was also extraordinary. Now that Ning Bei had been taken right in front of him, with no knowledge of his fate, Gu Rong was furious.
Chen Xin, though silent, couldn't hide the murderous look in his eyes. His bond with Ning Bei was no less than Gu Yong's.
Ning Fengzhi's expression darkened as he thought for a moment.
"From the shadow I saw earlier, there's only one person in this world who could take Bei'er away from us without making a sound."
"Who?"
"Who?"
"The Wuhun Hall's Ghost Douluo!"
Both Gu Rong and Chen Xin were stunned.
"Damn."
"The Wuhun Hall did this?"
Knowing the strength of the Wuhun Hall, the three of them felt helpless and frustrated. Without evidence, they couldn't just barge into the Wuhun Hall and make a scene.
"It's hard to say. Let's wait a while before returning to the previous location and searching again."
As the sect leader, Ning Fengzhi had a broader perspective.
If this wasn't the work of the Wuhun Hall, confronting them now might expose Ning Bei's importance, which would make him even more vulnerable in the future.
Chen Xin and Gu Rong nodded in agreement.
"Sigh, we don't have any other choice."
Meanwhile, Ning Bei, who had been taken to the Lake of Life, was filled with fear. He had already guessed the identity of the man who had captured him.
"Has my Dan Tower attracted these big shots now? This doesn't seem right. I'm only at the fifth ring, just one ring above the fourth."
Ning Bei frantically speculated about why the person had taken him.
Before long, he was brought before the silver dragon. The dragon opened its vertical pupils, and the imposing gaze made Ning Bei shiver.
"Soul King? Why does this level of soul master give me a sense of familiarity?"
At this moment, Di Tian, who was standing beside the dragon, spoke up.
"Master, are you mistaken? This kid's power is too weak to even be worth considering. How could he help you?"
Hearing Di Tian's words, Ning Bei rolled his eyes and felt somewhat offended.
Polite: "You!"
However, from their conversation, it seemed that the Silver Dragon King had sensed the Dan Tower's aura, which meant Ning Bei's life should be safe.
"Human, release your martial soul and show it to me."
Upon hearing this, Ning Bei summoned his Dan Tower with ease, and the fragrance from the pills filled the air.
The Silver Dragon King and Di Tian both fell into deep thought as they inhaled the fragrance.
"Master, no wonder this kid was able to stir up a beast tide in the Star Dou Forest. While the fragrance has no effect on us, it's a great supplement for the thousand-year-old beast cubs."
The Silver Dragon King nodded after hearing Di Tian's words and turned to look at Ning Bei.
"Human, are you an auxiliary soul master? Your martial soul has healing effects, right?"
Ning Bei scratched his head.
"Technically speaking, my martial soul is a food-type martial soul. It does have some healing effects, but I don't know if it will work on you."
At this point, Di Tian urged impatiently.
"Kid, hurry up and bring out the food. Why are you talking so much?"
The Silver Dragon King ignored Di Tian's words and instead stared at Ning Bei with deep, contemplative eyes.
"Human, you seem oddly uncurious about our identity, and you're not afraid of us. Or is it that you recognize us?"
Ning Bei's heart sank. He realized he had been too calm, which might have exposed something.
He couldn't exactly tell them that he had read the original story multiple times.
After some thought, Ning Bei decided to use his usual trick.
"I don't know you. Knowing your identities doesn't really matter. I'm just an auxiliary soul master with no strength to speak of. You were able to capture me from the hands of my two Title Douluo grandfathers, so there's no point in resisting. There's no need to be afraid."
The two beasts nodded, agreeing with his reasoning. However, considering Ning Bei's age, his calm demeanor did make them look at him with more respect.
"Alright, human, show us the food."
Ning Bei nodded and, with a flash from his fifth soul ring, three colored pills appeared in his hand.
Coincidentally, all three of them were healing pills.
The transparent one was the Soul Nourishing Pill, the purple one was the Spirit Recovery Pill, and the deep green one was the Restoration Pill.
"The transparent one is called the Soul Nourishing Pill. It nourishes the injured soul."
"The purple one is the Spirit Recovery Pill, which can restore the power lost due to sealing or injury."
"The deep green one is the Restoration Pill, which can heal heavier wounds. It can be used alongside my other healing pills."
After hearing Ning Bei's explanation, both the Silver Dragon King and Di Tian were overjoyed. The Silver Dragon King had both soul and physical injuries.
The Silver Dragon King couldn't help but think to himself:
"Is this fate's arrangement?"
He then opened his mouth and sucked in the three pills Ning Bei was holding, swallowing them in one go.
His massive mouth swallowed the three pills like they were three needles dropped into the ocean.
Di Tian looked at the Silver Dragon King nervously, fearing the pills wouldn't work, which would give him hope only to be disappointed.
After a moment, the Silver Dragon King opened his eyes, and a trace of uncontainable joy appeared in his gaze.
"It worked, though faintly. There is indeed some effect."
Di Tian, upon hearing this, exclaimed in surprise:
"Really? Master?"
After confirming with a nod, Di Tian transformed into a massive black dragon and roared toward the sky, showing just how excited he was.
He then reverted to his human form and appeared before the Silver Dragon King and Ning Bei.
"Master, based on the current efficiency, how long will it take for your injuries to fully recover?"
The Silver Dragon King shook his head.
"I'm not sure. The effect is too weak. It will probably take several million years."
"Huh?"
"???"
