A moment later, Dugu Bo returned with a boy of about ten years old, his face showing both anticipation and nervousness.
“Xin’er, quickly pay your respects to your Uncle Yueguan and Uncle Guimei.” “This junior greets Uncle Yueguan and Uncle Guimei.” Dugu Xin bowed respectfully, his voice clear and crisp, carrying the unique childlike innocence of a child.
“My dear, there’s no need for such formalities.” Yue Guan leaned down slightly and carefully examined the child in front of her.
At first glance, Dugu Xin looks no different from any other ten-year-old boy.
But upon closer inspection, the differences become obvious.
A faint green light emanated from his black hair, and fine green veins covered his black eyes.
This is clearly a sign of being harmed by the poison within itself.
He’s only ten years old!
Yue Guan sighed inwardly: Meeting me, Yue Guan, is quite a blessing for you, kid.
“Xiao Xin, release your martial spirit and let your uncle see it.” Dugu Xin glanced at his father subconsciously, and only raised his right hand after seeing Dugu Bo nod.
Emerald green light condensed in his palm, and the phantom of a venomous snake with an entirely emerald green body slowly emerged, coiling around him.
The light emanating from the illusory image of the Azure Phosphorous Serpent was a ghastly green, deeper and more intense than that of ordinary Azure Phosphorous Serpent Soul Masters, giving one an ominous premonition just by looking at it.
A yellow spirit ring of the hundred-year level rose from beneath his feet and slowly rotated around him.
Ten years old, one spirit ring, a hundred-year level.
It can only be considered average.
However, for a child with a flawed martial soul, reaching this point is already quite an achievement.
“Xiao Xin, what level are you now?” Level 15.
Dugu Xin answered honestly.
Yue Guan nodded.
Ten years old, level fifteen, average.
“I deliberately slowed down his cultivation speed.
If I hadn’t suppressed it, he might already be a second-ring Great Soul Master…” Dugu Bo spoke up from the side, his voice filled with undisguised bitterness.
His gaze fell on his son, and the heartache in his eyes was almost overflowing.
Yue Guan nodded and said: “You did the right thing.
Maybe this child will even benefit from this misfortune.” Dugu Bo was taken aback, not understanding what Yue Guan meant by those words.
A blessing in disguise?
What good can come from a poison backlash?
Yue Guan didn’t explain, but just smiled slightly, reached into the Hundred Flowers Pouch at his waist, and took out a medicinal herb.
This is a pale purple Ganoderma lucidum with a standard umbrella-shaped top.
Its stem is as translucent as jade and has nine leaves.
The whole plant has a warm, lustrous sheen.
Dugu Bo was instantly drawn to the herb.
He has studied pharmacology for many years.
Although he is not as good as an expert as Yue Guan, he still has a good eye.
The appearance, color, and shape of this Ganoderma lucidum all demonstrate its extraordinary qualities.
He had seen many ordinary Ganoderma lucidum mushrooms, but he had never even heard of this level.
“This is…?” “Nine-grade purple Ganoderma lucidum”.
Explanation of the Moon Gate: “The finest Ganoderma lucidum is one in ten thousand.
It has the effects of strengthening the body’s foundation, nourishing vital energy, and enhancing skill.
It is especially helpful for Soul Masters with flawed Martial Souls.
It can enhance Xiao Xin’s physique, cleanse the toxins accumulated in his bones and blood, and also help him improve his Soul Power.” “It…it’s really that amazing?” Dugu Bo stared at the ninth-grade purple fungus, half believing and half doubting.
It wasn’t that he didn’t believe in Yue Guan, but rather that he dared not believe him.
Is it really possible for a mere herb to have such miraculous effects?
The toxins in his and his son’s bodies were inherent to their martial souls, a problem that the entire family couldn’t solve, yet a single Ganoderma lucidum could resolve it?
The ghost suddenly spoke: “My brother is an expert in this field, whatever he says goes.
This Grade Nine Purple Ganoderma is a rare treasure, and he only has this one.
You don’t even have any if you want to eat it.” Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo glanced at Gui Mei, then looked at Yue Guan, the hesitation in his eyes gradually dissipating.
Although Yue Guan is a deep and thoughtful person, there is no reason for him to lie about this matter.
Moreover, if Yue Guan wanted to harm or use him, there was absolutely no need to make a fuss about his son.
Dugu Xin was, after all, only a ten-year-old child.
“Brother Yueguan, I am deeply grateful and will never forget your kindness.
I, Dugu Bo, will remember this favor.” “Don’t thank me yet.” Yue Guan waved his hand and handed the Grade Nine Purple Ganoderma to Dugu Xin.
“Xiao Xin, eat this.
Just eat it raw.
After you finish, sit down and cultivate to absorb the medicinal effects.
Uncle will stay here with you.” Dugu Xin looked at the beautiful Ganoderma lucidum, then looked up at his father.
Dugu Bo nodded to him.
Dugu Xin took the Grade Nine Purple Ganoderma, hesitated for a moment, and then put it directly into his mouth and began to chew.
The taste of the Ganoderma lucidum wasn’t very good; it was slightly bitter.
But Dugu Xin ate it without saying a word, and didn’t even frown.
Yue Guan saw this and nodded inwardly.
Although this child is young, he is calm and not spoiled; he is a promising talent.
After finishing his meal, Dugu Xin sat cross-legged as Yue Guan instructed, closed his eyes, and entered a meditative state.
A faint green soul power circulated around him, gradually merging with the medicinal effects of the Grade Nine Purple Ganoderma.
Dugu Bo stood quietly by the side, his usual sharp and domineering demeanor gone, and he appeared unusually calm.
Yue Guan and Gui Mei remained silent, sitting in their chairs and waiting patiently.
Time passed by, minute by minute.
About two hours later, the fluctuations of soul power around Dugu Xin gradually subsided.
He slowly opened his eyes.
Those black eyes, which were originally covered with green veins, were now much clearer, and the green veins had faded significantly; they were almost invisible unless you looked closely.
Dugu Bo noticed this change immediately.
He rushed to his son, cupped Dugu Xin’s face in his hands, and carefully examined his eyes.
Not just the eyes.
The hair, which had previously faintly glowed green, had turned into its normal black color.
“Xin’er…you…” Dugu Bo’s voice trembled.
Dugu Xin himself also felt the changes in his body, and his little face was full of surprise and excitement.
“Dad, I feel…
different.
My body seems much stronger and more powerful.
And…
my soul power has reached level eighteen.” “What?!
I’ve leveled up three levels in one go?!” Dugu Bo was incredulous and turned to look at Yue Guan, his eyes filled with shock and gratitude.
Yue Guan smiled and explained: “It could have improved much more.
But a large part of the medicinal effect of the Grade 9 Purple Ganoderma was used to cleanse the toxins in his bones and blood, so the level didn’t improve much.
But don’t worry, the remaining medicinal effect hasn’t been fully absorbed yet.
As time goes by, it will slowly integrate into his body, and the effect will get better and better.” Yue Guan spoke casually, but Dugu Bo knew in his heart what this meant for Dugu Xin.
It’s a miracle that he was able to increase his soul power by three levels in one go, while simultaneously clearing away the toxins accumulated in his body and repairing the defects in his martial soul!
If it weren’t for the sake of his family’s reputation, Dugu Bo would have wanted to kneel down and kowtow to Yue Guan right now.
