Chapter 168, Half a Year Later

Seeing Qi Ling's frustrated look, Dugu Bo couldn't help but feel satisfied, and then said to Qi Ling: "Boy, don't be unhappy, I let you stay here, it's naturally good for you!"

"Don't think I can't see, you are all eyeing the herbs here, you must want to take them away? It just so happens that I don't need these things, you can take them if you need them!"

"That's about right!" Qi Ling said with satisfaction, "Xiao San, do it! Try not to leave a needle or thread for this old man!"

"Okay, big brother!" Tang San smiled. There are so many herbs here, it may take several months to completely distinguish them.

So in these few months, Tang San and Qi Ling stayed in the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire, practicing and studying these herbs, and Dugu Bo often came to discuss knowledge about poison with the two.

In this way, half a year has passed since Qi Ling and Tang San came to the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire. In this half year, the relationship between Dugu Bo and the two has gradually eased, and even in the end, it has become as harmonious as a close friend.

Moreover, Dugu Bo is a real Titled Douluo after all, and he has his own unique insights into the cultivation of martial spirits. Qi Ling and Tang San can be said to have benefited a lot during this period.

During this period, Tang San, with the help of the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire, has completely absorbed the two immortal herbs, and his soul power has risen to level 37.

Although Qi Ling did not take any immortal herbs, the huge amount of spiritual energy here also made his soul power rise rapidly. Now his soul power has risen to level 38.

It was on this day that Dugu Bo said to Qi Ling: "Boy, you two have gained a lot of benefits here, right? Take it!"

"Hmm? What do you want?" Qi Ling asked puzzled.

"What else can it be? Of course it's my Danzhu! Do you want to keep it for a lifetime?" Dugu Bo said unhappily.

The reason why Qi Ling was able to make such rapid progress during this period was that Dugu Bo's Danzhu also played a significant role! Otherwise, his cultivation progress would not be consistent with Tang San who ate two immortal herbs.

"Why? Old man, are you willing to let us go?" Qi Ling asked with a smile.

Who knew that after Qi Ling asked this question, Dugu Bo actually said with some emotion: "To be honest, I really don't want you two to leave! For so many years, you two are the only ones who can deal with my temper!"

"But you two are still so young, I can't lock you up for life, right? Wait until tomorrow, I will bring Yanyan here, you can go back after you detoxify her."

After being together for such a long time, Qi Ling is reluctant to let go of this stubborn old boy, including Tang San. Dugu Bo is both a teacher and a friend to them.

"That being said, we are still reluctant to part with you suddenly." Qi Ling smiled, "Why not do this, old man, didn't you say before that you would promise us three things?"

"Well, there is such a thing, have you thought about what it is now?" Dugu Bo asked.

"We thought about it carefully, and it seems that there is nothing we need you to do, but it just so happens that our Shrek Academy is still short of a place to keep the place in check. I think you, as a Titled Douluo, are just qualified. I wonder if you are willing to come?" Qi Ling said with a smile.

Dugu Bo was stunned when he heard Qi Ling's words. He could naturally hear that although Qi Ling's tone was still so annoying, he was inviting himself to teach at Shrek Academy.

"No!" Dugu Bo refused directly, "I am a casual person by nature, and I am most afraid of restrictions. If I have to be a teacher for a bunch of little brats like you, I will be annoyed to death! This is already a matter of principle, I can't agree to you."

"Alas, I didn't ask you to come to class. With your teaching level, I am afraid that you will teach all the students problems!" Qi Ling said, "Let you come, just to hold a position, you can leave if you want, no one will stop you!"

"Is that so? If it's just a title, it's not impossible..." Dugu Bo hesitated.

"Is that right? And I won't let you work for nothing. Every month, I'll give you... ten gold soul coins, how about that?" Qi Ling said with a smile.

Dugu Bo was immediately furious. He was a Titled Douluo, but he was only worth ten gold soul coins a month? Even the most ordinary teachers had a monthly salary of more than that, which was not even enough for his usual cup of tea.

"I'm a Titled Douluo, and you only give me this little money? It's really unreasonable!" Dugu Bo said angrily.

"Ten is not enough? Then... then add one more, eleven, how about that? Hey, don't hit me, you are disrespectful to the elderly!"

After a lot of nonsense, Dugu Bo finally agreed to the two of them. He would go to Shrek Academy as an honorary consultant, but only in name only. He was not interested in being a teacher.

"Well, that's quite nice, old man!" Qi Ling said with a smile, "Since you are so generous and don't want any salary, we should give you a gift in return!"

"Oh? Your gift to me? What is it?" Dugu Bo asked curiously.

Tang San's gift to Dugu Bo was naturally prepared long ago. It was the Soul-Chasing and Life-Taking Gallbladder among his Tang Sect's hidden weapons. With this thing, Dugu Bo has an additional means of attack.

"What about you? Little ghost, the gift you give me as a brother can't be worse than your brother's, right?" Dugu Bo smiled and looked at Qi Ling, as if he was waiting for his gift.

"Hehe, the gift I want to give you is really big!" Qi Ling said, "Do you remember the three options I provided you when I treated you?"

"Of course I remember!" Dugu Bo said with a toothache. After all, it was the first time he was boiled, and he would probably never forget it in his life.

"Hehe, the gift I want to give you is the exclusive treatment plan of Qi Shenyi for your granddaughter!" Qi Ling said with a smile.

"What? You want to boil Yanyan too?" Dugu Bo was immediately shocked. Is this kid addicted to boiling? Why does he boil everyone he sees?

"Don't be funny, old man, your granddaughter's delicate skin and tender flesh can't compare with your old arms and legs! If you really put her in the pot, she can't even last a day!" Qi Ling said.

"Then how do you want to treat Yanyan? To be honest, I think it's a wrong choice to let you treat Yanyan." Dugu Bo said worriedly.

"It's very simple. Old man, your body has been eroded by toxins for many years. It can be said that you are terminally ill. There is no other way to treat it except this method." Qi Ling said.

"But Duguyan is different. Everything about her is still highly plastic. So as long as we improve her physique and make her body able to bear these toxins, it will be all right! Just like Xiaosan, we will use these herbs here to completely regenerate Duguyan!"
