Chapter 71. Title within reach, body tempered by ice and fire. Chapter 71 Title within Reach, Ice and Fire Body Refinement
Feng Xiaotian has been at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well for almost two months now, and he wonders how his parents are doing.
He wonders what they will do after they find out. Fortunately, the day of departure is not far off, and he will be able to leave soon.
The toxins in Dugu Bo's body are almost completely eliminated; if things go smoothly, four or five more sessions will be enough to clear them completely.
In the morning, Dugu Bo arrived at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well as usual at the agreed time.
After Dugu Bo landed, Feng Xiaotian also ended his meditation.
"Kid, the toxins in my body are almost gone. You've been here for almost two months; you can prepare to leave now," Dugu Bo said calmly, his eyes showing more kindness towards Feng Xiaotian.
Feng Xiaotian was overjoyed, but still calmly replied, "Senior, your poison hasn't been completely eliminated yet. Let's talk about it after it's completely gone."
Dugu Bo nodded, knowing how much poison he still had. The toxins that had plagued him for so many years were almost gone; his hair was gradually turning black.
He had a feeling that as long as he retrieved his Dan Pearl, he would soon be able to advance to the Title Douluo level.
"Alright, come on, kid," Dugu Bo said, sitting down cross-legged as usual.
Feng Xiaotian released his Three Winds technique to begin removing the toxins from Dugu Bo. He had already done this over eighty times, so he was now very skilled and quickly entered the state of focus.
Three hours later, Feng Xiaotian guided the last of the toxins from Dugu Bo's body into his soul bone. At this moment, Dugu Bo's body shone with green light, and his aura gradually increased.
"Come back, Dan Pearl," Dugu Bo said calmly.
Feng Xiaotian felt a surge of heat rise from his stomach, and Dugu Bo's Dan Pearl was spat out of his mouth, only to return to Dugu Bo's mouth again.
The moment Dugu Bo retrieved the Dan Pearl, a look of joy appeared on his face, and he exclaimed loudly, "My title is within reach!"
"Senior, how many more times is needed to remove it?" Feng Xiaotian reminded him.
"No need, I can handle the rest myself. You just wait here for me for a few days."
After saying this, Dugu Bo turned and quickly left.
Feng Xiaotian knew that the return of the Pill Pearl had brought his soul power to the limit of a Soul Douluo, giving him the opportunity to break through to level 90. He couldn't possibly let go of this chance to advance to a Title Douluo.
On the Douluo Continent, few people knew of the existence of gods, or considered them to be ethereal legends.
Most people's dream and goal was still to become a Title Douluo, and Dugu Bo was no exception.
The influence of a Title Douluo far surpassed that of a peak Soul Douluo.
When Dugu Bo left, he said he would wait a few days, but it was unknown how many days it would take for him to return.
Now, without the Pill Pearl, he was no longer afraid of Dugu Bo's poison array, and leaving alone was not an option.
However, there was one thing to do before leaving: the Ice and Fire Body Refinement.
He had been eyeing the Eight-Cornered Profound Ice Grass and the Blazing Apricot Blossom for a long time.
The original work described the general method of consumption quite clearly, but there were still some risks involved. After all, he wasn't Tang San, who was very familiar with these two immortal items. However, he would combine Tang San's methods with his own situation.
Tang San has his own methods, but he also has his own unique strengths. The biggest difference is that he possesses the Three Winds, which can absorb all the effects of the two immortal herbs within him should any problems arise.
Now that he has exhausted the effects of the Nine-Branched Profound Wind Grass, it's the perfect time to consume other immortal herbs.
After Dugu Bo left, Feng Xiaotian didn't immediately go to collect the two immortal herbs. Instead, he sat down to meditate and cultivate, adjusting his physical condition to its optimal state.
The next day, early morning.
Feng Xiaotian finished his meditation, his mental energy fully restored.
He got up and went to a white herb. He immediately activated his Martial Soul, using his second Soul Skill, increasing his body's resistance and defense by 100%, something Tang San didn't possess.
Even so, by the time he reached the Eight-Cornered Profound Ice Grass, his body was covered in frost.
The Eight-Cornered Ice Grass appeared as a large, snow-white flower, eight-cornered, with tiny, shimmering stamens in the center like ice crystals. It emitted no aura.
Feng Xiaotian was currently at the center of the Extreme Cold Yin Spring, and couldn't stay too long. He immediately drew a sharp dagger and swiftly severed the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass.
Simultaneously, he quickly retreated several meters. The
Eight-Cornered Ice Grass could only be picked with metal objects.
After picking the grass, Feng Xiaotian said to Sanfeng, "Put it over there."
Feng Xiaotian couldn't take it now, but Sanfeng could; he possessed the power of absorption, devouring any cold air that passed through, showing no fear of the extreme aura of ice and fire.
After Sanfeng acted, Feng Xiaotian didn't linger and immediately went to the other side of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye.
Next was the Fiery Apricot Blossom, which resembled a cabbage and was entirely fiery red.
This Fiery Apricot Blossom must be extracted with jade to preserve its efficacy. Feng Xiaotian took out a jade shard, one side of which had been polished to a very sharp edge.
He had carved this jade shard from a jade box he had recently disassembled, specifically to extract this Fiery Apricot Blossom.
He quickly went to the Fiery Apricot Blossom, swiftly cut it in half, and then retreated again.
"Sanfeng, take this with you too," Feng Xiaotian called out.
Sanfeng seemed delighted, came over, took the Fiery Apricot Blossom in his mouth, and ran off.
After bringing the two great immortal herbs to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, Feng Xiaotian followed.
Without Sanfeng, he might not even have been able to combine these two great immortal herbs.
When the two immortal herbs were placed together, the two extremes of cold and heat intertwined and simultaneously disappeared.
The Eight-Cornered Ice Grass was enveloped in a layer of pale red light, while the Fiery Apricot Blossom was enveloped in a layer of white mist.
Feng Xiaotian knew that after these two immortal herbs merged, their energies countered each other, and their effects would completely disappear after ten breaths.
He had to consume it within ten breaths.
Feng Xiaotian picked up the two immortal herbs simultaneously. Without feeling any coldness or heat, he mixed them together and stuffed them into his mouth.
The two herbs melted instantly upon entering his mouth, becoming liquid and flowing down his throat. Feng Xiaotian felt his tongue moisten, a fragrant aroma filling the air—the taste was quite pleasant.
Feng Xiaotian immediately removed his clothes. Within three breaths, his body trembled violently. In an instant, a layer of icy blue rose from the soles of his feet, turning his entire body completely blue.
Immediately afterward, a layer of red rose, the previous blue disappearing, only to be replaced by red again. This constant alternation between red and blue looked extremely strange.
Initially, Feng Xiaotian didn't feel much discomfort.
This was likely due to the special energy transferred to him by Sanfeng after absorbing a large amount of ice and fire energy during his first visit to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, which had transformed his body.
Moreover, his current physical strength was much better than Tang San's during his Ice and Fire Body Refinement, after all, he had consumed a nine-branched immortal herb, the Xuanfeng Grass, before this.
However, this only allowed him to endure for about thirty breaths before reaching his limit. A Celestial Grade item is still a Celestial Grade item, and those with these two extreme attributes are far more powerful.
The fact that his pain reached its limit indicated that the medicine was beginning to take effect.
With a splash, Feng Xiaotian completely disappeared into the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.
At the moment he jumped in, Sanfeng followed suit, sinking into the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well with Feng Xiaotian.
Sanfeng, having entered the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, remained beside Feng Xiaotian, guarding him.
Until the next morning, twenty-four hours had passed, and Feng Xiaotian remained in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, not surfacing. Having absorbed the two great Celestial Grade items, he seemed to have become a part of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

1.8times+Chapter 72 Title Douluo, Three Things Chapter 72 Title Douluo, Three Things:
The Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, the calm ice and fire spring water was completely still.
Its extreme properties meant that no life could exist within it.
Only Feng Xiaotian, after consuming two kinds of immortal delicacies and undergoing ice and fire body tempering, could survive in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.
Splash...
Feng Xiaotian and Sanfeng leaped out of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, the water droplets falling onto the stones at their feet, some freezing into ice blocks, others emitting scorching smoke upon contact.
Soon, the water in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well had dried up completely, and Feng Xiaotian was dressed.
The ice and fire body tempering lasted for a day and a night, twenty-four hours. After emerging, Feng Xiaotian felt no discomfort or hunger.
Through the ice and fire body tempering, Feng Xiaotian knew that he now possessed a physique impervious to ice and fire, and his martial soul was the same. However, it did not change the attributes of the Gale Twin-Headed Wolf; it remained the same as before.
Now his body was strong enough that absorbing a ten-thousand-year soul ring would be no problem at all.
Furthermore, he hasn't fully absorbed the medicinal power of the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass and the Fiery Apricot Blossom within his body. To fully absorb them, he'll need to cultivate to at least level 70.
His soul power hasn't increased much due to the Ice and Fire Body Refinement. Before this, he had already broken through from level 36 to 37, but he hasn't reached level 38 yet.
The Ice and Fire Body Refinement doesn't increase soul power much. In the original story, Tang San was level 34 before the Ice and Fire Body Refinement, and even after half a year, he only reached level 37. It's conceivable that the Ice and Fire
Body Refinement doesn't initially increase soul power much. As for whether it will help later, we'll have to wait and see. It mainly targets changes to the body. Feng Xiaotian has always followed the wind-type path, so it's unknown whether the Ice and Fire Body Refinement will affect his wind-attribute cultivation.
Feng Xiaotian is considering whether to leave without saying goodbye. Before leaving, Dugu Bo told him to wait a few more days, but there was no specific timeframe. Dugu Bo must have sensed an opportunity for a breakthrough before leaving.
Given Dugu Bo's personality, leaving without saying goodbye could indeed anger him. If Dugu Bo had broken through to the Title Douluo level, making an enemy of him again would certainly not be a wise move.
After much deliberation, Feng Xiaotian decided to wait a little longer. He had already been in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well for nearly three months, so a few more days wouldn't matter.
For the next few days, Feng Xiaotian cultivated in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. During his breaks, he explored the surrounding area, examining the terrain.
Dugu Bo had truly monopolized an entire mountain; there were no spirit beasts or other creatures there. Setting up such a large poison array must have taken a considerable amount of time and effort.
On the fifth day of waiting, Dugu Bo returned to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.
"Very good, you didn't leave alone." Dugu Bo's voice rang out again. Feng Xiaotian emerged from his meditation. Because of his understanding of the wind, he had been able to sense Dugu Bo's presence to some extent before.
But today, with Dugu Bo right beside him, he felt nothing. Had Dugu Bo broken through?
Feng Xiaotian stood up, looking at the radiant Dugu Bo before him, and said, "Senior, you've broken through?"
"Thanks to your good fortune, I've successfully advanced to the title of Title Douluo."
Dugu Bo showed few signs of poisoning at this moment, and looked as if he were ten years younger, likely due to the effects of the detoxification and his advancement to Title Douluo.
Right before Feng Xiaotian, Dugu Bo's spirit rings lit up. As each spirit ring appeared, Dugu Bo's aura gradually intensified, pressing down on Feng Xiaotian.
Was this some kind of boast? Feng Xiaotian channeled his spirit power to resist with all his might.
In an instant, all nine of Dugu Bo's spirit rings lit up—two yellow, two purple, and five black.
After all his spirit rings appeared, Dugu Bo immediately withdrew his powerful aura.
"Senior, does this Sunset Forest actually have spirit beasts suitable for your ninth spirit ring?" Feng Xiaotian asked curiously. Spirit beasts aged 30,000 to 40,000 years were already the limit in Sunset Forest, after all, this wasn't the Star Dou Great Forest, and it would take at least half a month to travel from Heaven Dou City to the Star Dou Great Forest.
Without the interference of poison, and having broken through to the coveted Title Douluo realm, Dugu Bo's face showed joy as he said, "This is all thanks to the eighty-odd spirit beasts I hunted recently."
Many spirit masters like Dugu Bo hunt spirit beasts to obtain spirit bones, but few come to Sunset Forest, as spirit beasts are scarce there.
Such hunting teams and spirit masters are annoying, but often powerful forces do this. Feng Xiaotian guessed that the Spirit Hall could definitely find several such teams, but he couldn't say that in front of Dugu Bo.
"Could it be that Senior has provoked a powerful spirit beast to retaliate?" Feng Xiaotian guessed.
"Haha, you're quite clever, kid. The day before yesterday, I was about to leave Sunset Forest for Star Dou Great Forest to find a suitable soul beast. But just as I was leaving, a soul beast of about 85,000 years appeared. It seemed to be revenge for my recent rampage in hunting soul beasts. I was extremely lucky; this soul beast perfectly matched my attributes, and I immediately killed it to make it my soul ring. Moreover, I also obtained a head soul bone. It's truly rare to find a soul beast of this age in Sunset Forest." Dugu Bo said happily, even telling Feng Xiaotian about obtaining the soul bone.
He didn't really dream of a 100,000-year-old soul ring. Soul beasts from 100,000 years ago and those from 100,000 years later were completely different concepts. Even if he reached level 90, he wouldn't be a match for a 100,000-year-old soul beast.
To hunt a soul beast over 100,000 years old, one must have at least one powerful Title Douluo leading a team. Dugu Bo didn't have such friends, so he was already very satisfied with having an 80,000-year-old soul ring.
"Congratulations on breaking through to Title Douluo, Senior," Feng Xiaotian congratulated him.
"It's all thanks to you, kid. Tell me, what are your three requests?" Dugu Bo asked.
"Senior, isn't your granddaughter Dugu Yan still not fully recovered?" Feng Xiaotian asked.
"Haha, it's not too late to tell me your conditions later," Dugu Bo laughed.
Dugu Bo's sudden change in attitude made him somewhat uncomfortable. He wondered what this old monster meant, why he suddenly trusted him so much.
Was it because he had broken through to the Title Douluo level or had the poison been neutralized? Perhaps it was a combination of these.
"Hurry up, you're already a Soul Venerable, why are you still so hesitant? If you don't speak up soon, I'll take it as you giving up," Dugu Bo urged.
"No, no, no! My first request is to help me resolve this crisis and prove my innocence," Feng Xiaotian said.
"That's no problem, next," Dugu Bo said calmly, agreeing readily.
Feng Xiaotian was somewhat incredulous; Dugu Bo had agreed far too readily. He continued, "Secondly, I have some past grievances with you, senior. I hope you can forgive and forget, and not harm me or my family."
The instant Feng Xiaotian finished speaking, Dugu Bo replied, "No problem, let's move on to the last one."
Looking at Dugu Bo's smile, Feng Xiaotian felt that Dugu seemed unconcerned about these conditions. Were these two matters too simple?
Dugu Bo was a man of his word; he would definitely keep his promises. But seeing Dugu Bo agree with such a smile gave him a strange feeling.
Many people suggested the Ice and Fire Twin-Headed Wolf, but I think since the story revolves around Feng Xiaotian, we should prioritize his achievements. As for the Ice and Fire Twin-Headed Wolf, we'll consider that later! Thank you for your suggestions, and thank you to the readers for your rewards and recommendations!

1.8times+Chapter 73: Dugu Bo's Conditions - Becoming an Apprentice Chapter 73 Dugu Bo's Conditions:
The first two matters before becoming an apprentice were also to resolve the current predicament, which was what they were about to face.
It was estimated that no one would believe what he said, and even if he were telling the truth, with He Shaoyuan and Prince Xue Xing, who was single-mindedly searching for the murderer, it was unlikely they could disprove it.
If Dugu Bo were to intervene, the words of a Title Douluo would definitely carry more weight than those of an ordinary Soul Douluo.
As for the third matter, to be honest, Feng Xiaotian hadn't thought it through completely yet. He was mainly struggling with two things: one was making Dugu Bo an advisor to Shenfeng Academy, and the other was allowing him to return to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well to cultivate and obtain immortal items.
According to the historical timeline, Shenfeng Academy and the four elemental academies suffered disaster when Feng Xiaotian was twenty-nine years old, which was also when the Spirit Hall began preparing to unify the continent. It
was too early; even with Dugu Bo, they couldn't withstand the Spirit Hall's overwhelming momentum, and currently, there wasn't a real need for Dugu Bo to become a senior advisor to Shenfeng Academy.
Feng Qingyuan had reached the Soul Douluo realm, and even He Shaoyuan was no match for his mother, who had reached the Soul Saint realm.
"What? Is the third thing difficult?" Dugu Bo asked.
"The third thing is that I can cultivate here in the future, and I can take any herbs I need," Feng Xiaotian decided.
Although Dugu Bo might not come here often, especially now that he's a royal guest and no longer needs to suppress the toxins, Feng Xiaotian still felt it was better to mention it with the third thing.
He wouldn't be like Tang San, who was too ruthless and emptied the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well in one go. As the saying goes, beware of fire, theft, and Tang San.
This Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well absolutely cannot be seen by him, otherwise, given his personality, he might really try to steal it. Tang San is capable of anything when he's ruthless.
For example, he used his own method to kill the soul beast of his first soul ring, the Mandragora Snake, and then even had the idea of killing the Grandmaster, which was the first thought that came to him, showing that he truly possesses a ruthless heart.
But now that Feng Xiaotian is here, it's not up to him to interfere with the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.
Dugu Bo felt that it wasn't a big problem after hearing this; the three things Feng Xiaotian proposed were all minor matters in his eyes.
Looking at Feng Xiaotian, Dugu Bo laughed, "No problem, I can give you this place. How generous of me, old man? But you have to promise me one thing."
"Senior, you already promised me three conditions, why do I have to agree to yours now?" Feng Xiaotian asked.
Dugu Bo looked at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well before him. The poison had little effect on him anymore. Many of the herbs here were quite good, but he didn't know their specific uses, so he readily agreed.
"This is my suggestion. I will agree to your conditions, it just depends on whether you want this place or not," Dugu Bo said calmly.
Possessing the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well and making this place his own—it was the best treasure land on the Douluo Continent. Moreover, he knew what was buried beneath the Ten Thousand Zhang Abyss within the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well; it might be useful in the future.
"What are the conditions?" Feng Xiaotian asked curiously.
"It's simple. In the future, you can marry my granddaughter. You're only two years apart, so you'll have to call me grandfather. In that case, giving you the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well won't matter," Dugu Bo said.
"Isn't that too early? Besides, how could I be worthy of your granddaughter? We have no emotional foundation whatsoever; it wouldn't be right," Feng Xiaotian said in surprise.
Marrying Dugu Yan was not something Feng Xiaotian had considered. He didn't like women like Dugu Yan, who would have the same personality as Dugu Bo.
"Why don't you find someone else?" Feng Xiaotian asked.
"You can become my disciple. You possess a unique martial soul that makes you immune to poison. If you make good use of it, you'll definitely surpass me in the use of poison," Dugu Bo said confidently.
When it came to using poison, Dugu Bo believed he couldn't find anyone better than him in the world.
He genuinely admired Feng Xiaotian's talent: twin martial souls, special soul skills, the ability to kill a Soul King with the strength of a Soul Master, and the ability to handle situations calmly.
Although he hadn't handled things well in Heaven Dou City, he was still only twelve years old, with a lot of room for growth.
Now that he had advanced to Title Douluo, he also had a chance to take revenge.
However, his opponent is not weak either. Even now, he is not confident of victory. If he is killed, Dugu Yan will lose his protection. Making Feng Xiaotian become his disciple is also for Dugu Yan's future.
Feng Xiaotian was also pondering, weighing the pros and cons. With Dugu Bo as a Title Douluo, he could at least be worry-free within the Heaven Dou Empire.
He had also fully obtained the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, and would be at his disposal there.
"What's your decision?" Dugu Bo asked calmly.
"Teacher," Feng Xiaotian knelt and kowtowed, having made his decision. Becoming Dugu Bo's disciple was entirely beneficial to him. He
kowtowed three times in succession.
"Haha, no need for such formalities. Do you know that this kind of kneeling is only used between emperors and parents?"
Although he said this, Dugu Bo was secretly delighted.
"Teacher, a teacher for a day is a father for life," Feng Xiaotian said solemnly.
These words deeply touched Dugu Bo's heartstrings; he had never heard such words before.
He immediately bowed and helped Feng Xiaotian up, saying, "Good, you're right. I knew I hadn't misjudged you."
"Thank you, Teacher," Feng Xiaotian said.
"As your teacher, I can teach you some of my cultivation experience, some methods of using poison, and help you choose a spirit beast for your spirit ring. When you break through to the Title Douluo level, I hope you'll have a 100,000-year spirit ring," Dugu Bo stated his thoughts.
Currently, even Title Douluos rarely possess spirit rings longer than 100,000 years.
"Thank you, teacher," Feng Xiaotian said gratefully.
On the Douluo Continent, not only talent and luck matter, but also background.
Without a background, how could one hunt spirit beasts longer than 100,000 years and obtain spirit rings at level 90? That's the advantage of having a background.
Dugu Bo's poison has been removed by more than 95%, and his cultivation speed is definitely much faster than the Dugu Bo in the original story.
"Both of your martial souls mutated in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. Do you know that the first person in history to have twin martial souls died when adding spirit rings experienced a conflict? But I don't think your martial soul needs to worry about that," Dugu Bo said calmly.
"Could it be the special nature of my second martial soul?" Feng Xiaotian guessed.
Dugu Bo nodded and said, "That's right. I feel like your Martial Soul called Three Winds can devour anything. If there's a conflict in the future, it can help you resolve everything."
"But you'd better not absorb any Soul Rings now. Wait until your body can withstand Soul Rings that are over ten thousand years old before adding Soul Rings to your second Martial Soul. Then you can become a rare Soul Master in the history of the continent with all-black Soul Rings." Dugu Bo himself was quite excited, which was why he wanted Feng Xiaotian as his disciple—his talent was truly heaven-defying.
After Dugu Bo's explanation, Feng Xiaotian suddenly understood. He realized he was really being lazy. Having Three Winds, and since it was originally a split from one Martial Soul, their compatibility was definitely very high.
Even if there were unexpected events, Three Winds could absorb and devour the unfavorable energy in time, thus solving the problem of twin Martial Souls.
He didn't need to wait until the Gale Twin-Headed Wolf cultivated to nine Soul Rings before adding Soul Rings to Three Winds.
As long as his body could absorb Soul Rings that were over ten thousand years old, he could add Soul Rings to Three Winds without any worries.
I'm prepared to be criticized for this chapter about Feng Xiaotian becoming Dugu Bo's disciple. With a Title Douluo helping him, plus his parents' presence, he already has some backing. While not as powerful as the Clear Sky Sect, he's still stronger than most. Should we watch Feng Xiaotian and Dugu Bo clash head-on with Tang San and Tang Hao, or even the Spirit Hall? Regarding the suggestion to use devouring to absorb power from a higher level, I think it's impossible. If you absorb the power of a spirit ring, its quality will decrease! It's unnecessary! Devouring isn't advantageous in all situations; it also has drawbacks!

1.8times+Chapter 74 The Power of a Titled Douluo Chapter 74 The Power of a Titled Douluo
Outside Heaven Dou City, Feng Xiaotian walked alongside Dugu Bo, slowly making their way towards the city.
Three months had passed since Feng Xiaotian escaped Heaven Dou City, and the tense atmosphere of the past had dissipated.
"Teacher, am I just going to go in like this?" Feng Xiaotian asked doubtfully.
After becoming Dugu Bo's disciple, Dugu Bo had shown Feng Xiaotian around his villa and explained how to set up the poison needles. After that, Feng Xiaotian returned to Heaven Dou City with Dugu Bo.
Dugu Bo smiled and said, "That's right, don't worry. I've already completed your first two tasks."
"What? Teacher, you said you've already completed your first two tasks?" Feng Xiaotian asked in surprise.
These two tasks were only brought up this morning, and only a few hours had passed. During that time, both of them had been in the villa in Sunset Forest. How could they have completed these two tasks?
"Teacher, the first thing, how was my innocence restored?" Feng Xiaotian asked.
Dugu Bo stroked his now-black beard and said, "Would your teacher lie to you? Before you started treating me, I had already investigated thoroughly. Later, Prince Xuexing also participated in the investigation and discovered that you couldn't possibly be the murderer of the Second and Third Princes."
"But to deceive the real culprit, we outwardly used the pretext of issuing a warrant for your arrest while secretly investigating. However, after two months of fruitless investigation, we withdrew the warrant."
"What about the second thing?" Feng Xiaotian asked.
"As for the second thing, that was also a coincidence. Actually, your parents came to Tiandou City more than a month ago and should be with the Hummingbird Clan now. I met them there and even had a fight with them. I also told them about you."
"What? A fight? My parents weren't hurt, were they?" Feng Xiaotian asked worriedly.
"They were slightly injured, but it was only minor for them. It was a way of avenging the grudge from three years ago. Actually, from the moment you started treating me, I already had the idea of taking you as my disciple, otherwise they would have been dead long ago," Dugu Bo said.
"Just minor injuries?" Feng Xiaotian asked doubtfully.
Although he had already become a disciple, Feng Xiaotian wouldn't go back on his word. However, when it came to his parents' safety, he would stand by their side no matter what.
"Of course, you should have recovered by now. Let's go, first come with me to see Prince Xuexing. Although you are innocent, you killed a first-level royal guest elder back then, and we need to clear that up. Then you can go to the Hummingbird Clan to see your parents," Dugu Bo said.
"Teacher, you've tricked me into doing two things. You didn't arrange all of this, did you?" Feng Xiaotian muttered softly.
It was good that his parents were alright, but it was already quite difficult for Dugu Bo to let go of his hatred for his parents from three years ago.
"What? Isn't becoming my disciple enough?" Although Feng Xiaotian spoke very softly, Dugu Bo still heard him.
"Enough, enough. It's my honor to become your disciple. From now on, I'll take care of my little niece Yanyan," Feng Xiaotian said.
Dugu Bo's face darkened as he looked at Feng Xiaotian.
"What's wrong, teacher?"
"I almost forgot, since you've become my disciple, you're already a generation above Yan Yan. So, you'll be Yan Yan's older brother, and your roles as her brother and my disciple will be separate matters," Dugu Bo said.
As expected of the old monster known as Dugu Bo, Feng Xiaotian naturally had to listen to him since he'd said so. Besides, he didn't see this as a problem.
Only some conservative people would have reservations, and neither Dugu Bo nor Feng Xiaotian were like that.
"No problem, teacher, brother it is," Feng Xiaotian replied.
"Alright, let's go into the city," Dugu Bo laughed loudly. These past three months had been transformative for Dugu Bo, as he became a Title Douluo, resolved the poison issue, took on a disciple with perfect talent, and even found a brother for his granddaughter. Following Dugu
Bo,
they arrived at Prince Xuexing's residence. Upon entering the main hall, they found
Prince Xuexing and He Shaoyuan present.
He Shaoyuan's face darkened upon seeing Feng Xiaotian enter, and he seemed ready to attack at any moment.
"Greetings, Prince Xuexing," Dugu Bo said, showing due respect to his savior.
Feng Xiaotian also bowed to Prince Xuexing along with Dugu Bo.
"Mr. Dugu, this must be Feng Xiaotian," Prince Xuexing asked, looking at Feng Xiaotian.
"That's right, this is Feng Xiaotian, and he is now my disciple," Dugu Bo said directly.
"Exceptional talent, congratulations, Mr. Dugu," Prince Xuexing congratulated.
"Prince Xuexing, even if he has been cleared of suspicion for murdering the prince, this brat's crime of killing a Soul King and two Soul Masters of the Empire is equally unforgivable. He cannot be let off lightly. Dugu Bo, how could you accept such a person as a disciple?" He Shaoyuan said.
After so many years, he finally managed to take in a satisfactory disciple, only to have him crippled by Feng Xiaotian. He Shaoyuan had always held this grudge in his heart and was determined to avenge him.
"He Shaoyuan? Those three people also deserved to die, and Liu Rong was one of your men, wasn't he? If you had captured him, would he have had a chance to live? My disciple is innocent. If you bring this up again, don't blame me for being impolite." Dugu Bo said coldly.
"So you're going to protect this brat? And you're not going to be impolite? If you want to fight, then fight! I've long wanted to experience the strength of your level 89 Soul Douluo."
As He Shaoyuan spoke, his eight soul rings lit up, his aura becoming even stronger than before.
Prince Xuexing didn't speak. These two had always been enemies. He thought to himself, "I won't say anything. Let them fight." I then turned my attention to observe Feng Xiaotian beside Dugu Bo.
"Not bad, you've already leveled up, now an 85th-level Soul Douluo. No wonder you dared to challenge me. But if you can level up, why can't I?"
Dugu Bo finished speaking, his aura slowly rising. When his ninth soul ring lit up
, everyone except Feng Xiaotian stared wide-eyed.
He Shaoyuan was especially astonished, completely stunned.
"A Titled Douluo," Prince Xue Xing spoke first.
"Come on, He Shaoyuan, I've also just leveled up a bit, now I'm a 91st-level Titled Douluo. Didn't you want to challenge me? I'll give you that chance," Dugu Bo said confidently.
He Shaoyuan immediately withdrew his martial soul and soul rings, forcing a smile as he said, "I was just joking with Mr. Dugu. Feng Xiaotian is innocent; those few truly deserved to die."
"Mr. Dugu, that's wonderful! Your promotion to Title Douluo is a great honor for our Heaven Dou Empire. I will immediately report to Emperor Xue Ye; you are now our Heaven Dou Empire's highest-ranking guest elder," Prince Xue Xing said happily.
Adding a Title Douluo to the Heaven Dou Empire is equivalent to boosting its national strength; how could he not be happy? As for Feng Xiaotian killing those three people, it's now utterly insignificant.

1.8times+Chapter 75 Family Reunion Chapter 75 Family Reunion
With Dugu Bo present, Prince Xuexing wouldn't pursue the matter of Feng Xiaotian killing three Soul Masters.
Moreover, the wanted posters used a masked image of Feng Xiaotian.
Now, if Feng Xiaotian walked the street, few would recognize him as the man wanted recently.
At Prince Xuexing's residence, Dugu Bo was invited to the Heaven Dou Empire's palace. Feng Xiaotian didn't go with him, instead planning to visit his parents at the Hummingbird Clan.
As for helping Dugu Boyan remove the poison, it was too early; they needed to wait until Dugu Boyan had fully adapted to the Soul Bone.
Arriving at Earl Hummingbird's residence, three years ago, with the help of the First Prince, not only was his Viscount title restored, but also his long-lost Earl title.
Two spirited guards stood before the residence; though not Soul Masters with Soul Power, they were still strong and capable among ordinary people.
An elderly man in his seventies was also reprimanding the two guards.
"Grandpa Qin Shun," Feng Xiaotian called out. This was Qin Tianxiong's butler, who had served him for over seventy years. Although he was also a Soul Master, his cultivation was not high; at over seventy years old, he was only at the Great Soul Master level.
However, no one in the entire Hummingbird Clan looked down on him, all thanks to his lifelong loyalty to the Qin family.
"You are...you are Young Master Xiaotian?" Qin Shun asked in surprise.
"Yes, are my parents inside?" Feng Xiaotian asked.
Qin Shun nodded and smiled, "Yes, they are inside. Come in with me."
His mother and father were still living in the same place as three years ago.
The two of them were sitting cross-legged in the small courtyard, cultivating their Soul Power.
Feng Xiaotian didn't disturb them and carefully found a place to rest,
waiting for his parents to wake up. However, his parents' cultivation level was much higher than his, and they noticed him as soon as he entered.
"Xiaotian?" Qin Qiuyue exclaimed in surprise, immediately getting up and running to hug Feng Xiaotian.
"That's great, Xiaotian, you're really alright. It seems that Dugu Bo didn't lie to us."
"Mom, Dad, everything's alright now," Feng Xiaotian said.
"Hmm, let Mom see you. You've lost weight in over three months. Did Dugu Bo do anything to you? He's very skilled with poison, so he didn't use you as a guinea pig, did he?" Qin Qiuyue asked, placing her hands on Feng Xiaotian's shoulders.
"Actually, I've already become Dugu Bo's disciple," Feng Xiaotian said directly.
"What? You became Dugu Bo's disciple? He's just a Soul Douluo. Your old man is about to become a Soul Douluo too. I don't need to become his disciple," Feng Qingyuan asked, puzzled. Feng Xiaotian
knew that his parents hadn't hunted soul beasts to obtain soul rings because they were worried about him, which had already delayed them for a long time.
"My teacher isn't at the Soul Douluo level anymore. He's already a level 91 Title Douluo. It's better for someone like him to be my teacher than an enemy," Feng Xiaotian said.
"A Title Douluo? A month ago, he was a level 89 peak Soul Douluo. How long has it been since he became a Title Douluo?" Feng Qingyuan asked again.
Then Feng Xiaotian told the two about his relationship with Dugu Bo and how he ended up offending Dugu Bo in Tiandou City and becoming a wanted criminal.
Feng Xiaotian simplified the process considerably, removing many overly dangerous elements.
Even so, in their parents' eyes, it was still an extremely dangerous situation, especially facing Dugu Bo's coercion.
"Xiaotian is right, it's a good thing that Dugu Bo became Xiaotian's teacher," Qin Qiuyue said.
"Son, you said your martial soul has changed again, release it for us to see," Feng Qingyuan said.
Feng Xiaotian first released the Gale Twin-Headed Wolf, the difference being that the two wolves, originally light blue, had become dark blue.
"Its new name is Gale Twin-Headed Wolf, the only difference in its soul skill is that it no longer has the devouring effect of its second soul skill," Feng Xiaotian explained.
"What about the other martial soul?" Feng Qingyuan asked.
Feng Xiaotian recalled the Gale Twin-Headed Wolf, and released his second martial soul. A wolf howl was heard, yes, a wolf howl.
"Qingyuan, where did this wolfhound come from?" Qin Qiuyue said, and a three-headed wolf with yellow fur and some purple appeared in front of them.
"Xiaotian, the second martial soul you mentioned wouldn't be this, would it?" Feng Qingyuan said. Martial souls with this effect are really rare; usually only mutated martial souls will appear in this form.
"Dad, this is what the third wolf head turned into. Now his name is Sanfeng," Feng Xiaotian said.
"Sanfeng is so cute! This is the second martial soul? What exactly is its function?" Qin Qiuyue asked.
Feng Xiaotian couldn't really demonstrate its function. "It hasn't been given any spirit rings yet. It has the ability to devour, for example, poison. If I'm poisoned by any deadly toxin, it can devour it without posing any danger."
Its greatest function right now is devouring. Feng Xiaotian hasn't used it in combat yet, perhaps because he doesn't have spirit rings.
After Sanfeng wandered around for a while, Feng Xiaotian put it back.
"Xiaotian, what about your fist blade?" Feng Qingyuan asked again.
"This is also one of the benefits of the martial soul mutation. Look, the fist blade is here." Feng Xiaotian took off the gloves that exposed most of his fingers. With a thought, the fist blade appeared on the back of his right hand like a tattoo.
This was a wonderful use of the fist blade that he had discovered over the past three months. When used, the fist blade would appear, emitting a faint light; when not in use, it would disappear. Wearing these gloves, no one could detect it.
"It seems your soul power has reached the peak of level thirty-seven, just a little short of level thirty-eight. No, your body seems much stronger than before, even more so than when you ate the Nine-Branched Mystic Wind Grass. Did you eat some kind of immortal delicacy again?" Feng Qingyuan placed his hand on Feng Xiaotian's body to sense him.
"I can't hide it from you, Dad. I ate two special immortal delicacy items. Now, not only has my physical strength increased, but I've also cultivated a physique that is impervious to water and fire. I won't have any problem absorbing a ten-thousand-year soul ring when I reach level forty," Feng Xiaotian explained.
"There are such immortal delicacy items? Could it be from that place you mentioned, Dugu Bo? Will your teacher find out if you take the immortal delicacy?" Feng Qingyuan asked worriedly. Immortal delicacy items are not simple things; everyone on the continent would fight over them.
"Dad, have you forgotten? The teacher has already given me that place, and I've also prepared an immortal delicacy for Mom. After consuming it, it can greatly increase soul power and improve future cultivation speed. But you must keep it a secret because the teacher doesn't recognize the immortal delicacy from that place," Feng Xiaotian said, taking out the Five-Colored Stone Bamboo.
"This is... Five-Colored Carnation?" Feng Qingyuan had also read the Immortal Item Records and knew all the immortal items listed. Feng Xiaotian recognized it at a glance.
"Qiuyue, that's wonderful! With this immortal item, your soul power will definitely increase greatly, and your cultivation speed will also accelerate. I believe you'll soon break through level eighty and reach the Soul Douluo realm," Feng Qingyuan said happily.
"Unfortunately, we haven't found the immortal item Dad needs yet," Feng Xiaotian said worriedly. Mainly, he didn't recognize many of them, and even those he did know how to harvest, which was why he hadn't found a suitable immortal item for Feng Qingyuan.
Knowledge of cultivation and pharmacology on the Douluo Continent was severely lacking, especially regarding immortal items; knowledge was extremely scarce. Otherwise, these things wouldn't have been available to him. To some extent, the cultivation methods on the Douluo Continent were still relatively primitive!
