Chapter 23 Grandpa arranged a marriage for you when you were little, how about it?
Upon finding the Earth Dragon Golden Melon vine, Dugu Lin did not simply shovel it up. Instead, he took out a small shovel and dug out the vine along with the Earth Dragon Golden Melon underground.
'What a pity, only one earthworm-shaped golden gourd grew.'
Dugu Lin felt a pang of regret.
"Wow, it's huge! Is this golden melon the Earth Dragon Golden Melon?"
Dugu Yan asked curiously.
"Well, first wash the Earth Dragon Golden Melon clean, then peel it and eat the flesh, and slowly refine it."
As he spoke, Dugu Lin picked the Earth Dragon Golden Melon and handed it to Dugu Yan, then buried the vines back in their original place.
Seeing this, Dugu Bo asked, "Lin'er, do you hope it can grow another Earth Dragon Golden Melon?"
"Yes, I just don't know when the second one will grow."
"Haha~ One day a second one will grow."
Dugu Bo stroked his beard with a contented expression, basking in the thought that his future descendants would all have access to Immortal Herbs. Thinking of his descendants, Dugu Bo's gaze naturally drifted to Dugu Lin.
At this moment, Dugu Yan took the Earth Dragon Golden Melon, took out some water from her soul tool, washed the melon, and peeled it. Instantly, a rich fragrance wafted out.
"Gurgle~ It smells so good."
Dugu Yan swallowed hard, took a bite, and found it sweet and crisp.
A moment later, as Dugu Yan finished eating the entire Earth Dragon Golden Melon and began refining it, the grandfather and grandson walked to the side, and Dugu Bo asked, "Lin'er, the Ying Yang Ice And Fire Eyes has so many herbs, how do you plan to use them?"
"Alchemy!"
"Alchemy?"
Dugu Bo nodded. The matter of alchemy had long been on the agenda. After pondering for two seconds, Dugu Bo changed the subject and asked, "Lin'er, who was your wife before you were Reincarnated?"
"Ah?"
Dugu Lin was slightly stunned, his whole body tensed up, and he looked at Dugu Bo with a wary gaze, asking, "What do you want to do? He is only six years old!"
Hahaha~~~
Dugu Bo laughed and said, "Grandpa is doing this for your own good! Our Dugu clan has a rather thin bloodline to begin with. Grandpa wants to arrange a marriage for you as early as possible, and also take this opportunity to gather some power to deal with future changes!"
"I see..."
Dugu Lin pondered, thinking about how to handle the problem.
A marriage alliance?
Forget it!
With so many beautiful women in Douluo Continent, Dugu Lin did not want to be tied to just one; he wanted at least two.
"First, he will reserve Qian Renxue as his sister-in-law, and Shui Bing'er is also quite nice! As for Ning Rongrong, he would not even want her! And Zhu Zhuqing... well, that depends on fate. Xiao Wu? Heh~ destined to be a spirit ring. There are countless beauties in Douluo Continent, and he also wants to take the seductive fox Hu Liena, his sister's best friend Ye Lingling, the power-hungry Huo Wu, the ghost-fire girl Meng Yiran... and for the mature woman type, there is Bi Ji, Zi Ji, Xue Di, Bing Di, and so on, too many to list! He absolutely cannot put all his eggs in one basket!"
After thinking for a moment, Dugu Lin said, "Grandpa, we can try to win over the Dragon-Snake Clan. With my mother's connections and the medicinal herbs that can help them improve their clan's strength, it should not be difficult."
The mother of Dugu Lin and his sister Dugu Yan came from the Dragon-Snake Clan. The Dragon-Snake Clan's peak combat power was the Dragon-Snake Combination Attack, which was comparable to a titled warrior. In addition, the Dragon-Snake Clan was very large, and the mother of Dugu Lin and Dugu Yan came from one of its branches.
"The Dragon-Snake family? Sigh~ Our family has wronged your mother."
"Grandpa, do not think so much."
Dugu Lin was also a little depressed. His mother did not die after giving birth to Dugu Yan, but when she gave birth to Dugu Lin, she was exhausted and passed away. She only had time to see the newborn once before she passed away.
Dugu Bo forced a laugh and said, "Hahaha~~ I will not say anymore. By the way, Grandpa heard that Lord Long Meng Shu has a granddaughter who is four years old this year. How about we arrange a marriage for you?"
"No! She is only four years old, she has not even grown all her baby teeth yet, how can you do that to her?"
Dugu Lin looked at his grandfather with disdain.
"You are only six years old."
"I do not want such a little girl, my goal is Qian Renxue."
"Qian Renxue?"
Dugu Bo's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he laughed heartily, "Qian Renxue is wonderful! The little princess of the Spirit Hall, the future Angel God, she is indeed worthy of my good grandson!"
"Of course!"
Just as Dugu Lin was feeling smug, Dugu Bo said, "But marrying Qian Renxue does not stop you from finding another concubine! The Dugu clan has a thin bloodline, Lin'er, you will have to work hard."
Upon hearing this, Dugu Lin was wide awake. He quickly straightened up and said, "Ahem... Grandpa, I will listen to you. You are doing this for my own good!"
Dugu Lin immediately raised both hands and feet in agreement. The thought of openly building a harem made him glance at Dugu Bo, thinking, 'He really is my grandfather!'
Dugu Lin was serious and full of hope for the future, even comforting himself with the thought: 'Listen to advice, and you will eat your fill! Especially the kind words of an old man! A harem is a must!'
Hahaha~~~
Dugu Bo laughed heartily, and the atmosphere between the two became exceptionally relaxed and pleasant.
Much later.
Dugu Lin then said, "By the way, Grandpa, do you have a magic pouch that can store living things? I want to harvest all these Immortal Herbs."
"It is good that we picked them. If someone comes looking for us here, we will be at a huge loss."
So, the Jade Phosphor Serpent Little Qilin was made to protect Dugu Yan, and then the grandfather and grandson began to sweep through the entire Ying Yang Ice And Fire Eyes. All the immortal and rare spiritual herbs were harvested, and the roots were left to continue growing.
"Grandpa, let us count how many kinds there are in total."
"Um."
Dugu Bo excitedly took out one jade box after another, which was full of rare and precious medicinal herbs.
"Besides the four Immortal Herbs you consumed, Yan'er's Earth Dragon Golden Melon, and the unharvested Immortal Herb, the Jade Phosphor Seven Absolute Flowers, a total of 22 Immortal Herbs were harvested! In addition, there were 76 second-tier Immortal Herbs, which are also rare spiritual herbs. Among them, the Snow Silkworm, which has the worst medicinal effect, was the most numerous, with a total of eleven! There were three Cinnabar Lotus flowers, two unidentified ginsengs, and the rest were single plants. There were also seven rare spiritual herbs that were only slightly lower in level than Immortal Herbs: Ninth-Grade Purple Ganoderma, Star Luo Spirit Pearl, Dragon Ganoderma Leaf, Fire Phoenix King, and so on."
After counting the herbs in his hand, Dugu Bo could not stop smiling; he had reaped a bountiful harvest.
"There are a total of 28 immortal-grade herbs. That is about what I expected. There are also many more rare-grade spiritual herbs than I anticipated."
Dugu Lin smiled and continued, "Grandpa, now it is up to you to see when you can refine the pills."
"Do not worry, Grandpa will definitely do his best."
"Grandpa, I believe in you. At 70, you are at the prime of your life, striving and working hard! Keep it up!"
"You brat!"
At this moment, Dugu Bo rolled his eyes, then thought that he should hurry up and subdue the Breaking clan, and then work with Yang Wudi to research the elixir.
