Chapter 96: If you want to take something, you must give it first "I……" Faced with the hypothesis proposed by Ke Lin, Dugu Bo fell silent. Because he had been suffering from the poison of his martial soul for a long time, he became a loner by nature and didn't like to interact with others. It is precisely for this reason that Dugu Bo did not choose to join any force and has been practicing alone until now. He had never thought of the solution proposed by Kelin to solve the poisoning problem by using soul bones. From what Ke Lin said, it seems that using soul bones to solve the spirit poison is an open practice method in the Spirit Hall. At this time, Dugu Bo was full of regrets, wondering why he couldn't join a force earlier. If he had known the solution earlier, he wouldn't have had to worry about the toxin problem for so long. "Well, Senior Dugu Bo, there is no need to worry about this, now that you have decided to join our Wuhun Hall.
These will no longer be a problem.” As he spoke, Qin Ming stretched out his hand and rubbed it on the storage ring, and a lead box appeared in Qin Ming's hand. This is the 20,000-year-old earth-attributed left leg bone that Qin Ming snatched from the Haotian Sect last time. At this time, seeing Qin Ming's actions, everyone in the field fell silent again. Dugu Bo swallowed his saliva. He had already vaguely guessed what was in the lead box. Under the gaze of everyone, Qin Ming directly opened the lead box in his hand and handed it to Dugu Xin. "Ah Xin, take it. This left leg soul bone should be able to solve your problem." Looking at the soul bone in front of him that was shining with an ochre-colored light, Dugu Xin subconsciously refused. "My lord, you absolutely cannot do that. This soul bone is too precious. I am just a useless person and do not deserve to own such a treasure." Hearing this, Qin Ming shook his head. “Waste man? Dugu Xin, don't underestimate yourself. You are only twenty-five years old now, but you already have the cultivation level of a Soul King. With your talent, you would be considered a genius in any soul master academy." Having said that, Qin Ming put down the lead box in his hand. After taking out the 2-year-old left leg soul bone from the box, Qin Ming directly stuffed it into Dugu Xin's hand. “It is precisely because you have reached a deep level in your practice that you are corroded by the martial spirit poison. I have never experienced the pain of being eroded by this kind of toxin, but from your current condition, I can still guess a little. You were able to remain silent while experiencing such pain that is unbearable for ordinary people, which shows your amazing willpower.
Facing the temptation of the Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone, you are still able to maintain your original heart, which shows that you are a good person. Your talent, will, and character are all above standard. There are not many people like you in the entire continent." Having said this, Qin Ming stopped. After putting on a smiling face again, Qin Ming invited sincerely. "Dugu Xin, please join our Spirit Hall. This ten thousand year soul bone is my investment in your future!" Hearing Qin Ming say this, Dugu Xin stood there in a daze. Holding the soul bone in his hand, Dugu Xin opened his mouth, not knowing what to say for a moment. Seeing this, Dugu Bo reached out and held down Dugu Xin. "Axin, agree to this adult's request." Having said that, Dugu Bo looked at Qin Ming again and clasped his fists towards Qin Ming. "Your Highness, my son and I are both willing to join the Spirit Hall." Looking at the father in front of him, Dugu Xin finally reacted. After struggling to sit up from the sickbed, Dugu Xin also saluted Qin Ming with his fists clasped. Seeing this, Qin Ming quickly stepped forward and helped the two up. “You two don’t need to be so polite, and you don’t need to call me Your Highness in private. Just like Elder Yueguan and the others, just call me Qin Ming." As he spoke, Qin Ming reached out and patted Dugu Xin on the shoulder. "Axin, absorb the soul bone first and solve the poisoning problem in your body." Dugu Bo also looked at Dugu Xin and urged hurriedly. "Ah Xin, hurry up and absorb the soul bones. This way you won’t have to endure the pain of toxins anymore.” Faced with the urging of Qin Ming and Dugu Bo, Dugu Xin shook his head and handed the soul bone in his hand to Dugu Bo. "Father, I cannot absorb this soul bone!" "Axin, what are you talking about?" Dugu Bo frowned. "Your health problem is very serious. This soul bone can save your life. Why do you want to give it to me now?" At this time, Yue Guan and the others also looked over. They didn't understand why Dugu Xin wanted to give the soul bone to Dugu Bo at this time.
Only Qin Ming and Ke Lin had vague guesses. Qin Ming stepped back a few steps, leaving the space to Dugu Bo and his son, and the room became quiet. Only Dugu Bo and his son were confronting each other. The next moment, Dugu Xin's voice broke the silent atmosphere. "Father, I heard what Bishop Kelin said just now. You are suffering from the poison of the martial spirit just like me. The toxins in our bodies all come from the same source. When the poison was taking effect on me, I'm sure you, father, were also suffering from the same pain. The toxicity of this toxin will continue to increase as soul power increases. You now have a soul power of level 86, so your condition must be worse than mine. The pain you endure must be far greater than mine. But you didn't show any emotion at all. I am the only one who is like a coward and cannot bear even the slightest pain of erosion..." As he spoke, tears welled up in Dugu Xin's eyes. "My mother died during childbirth on the day I was born, and you have been the only one who raised me all these years. When I was suffering from the poison of my martial soul, you always stayed by my side to take care of me. You always told me, 'Hold on a little longer, it will pass soon.' You must have felt very uncomfortable at that time... I am an unfilial son. For so long I have not realized that you are suffering the same pain as I am. It was not until the bishop mentioned it that I realized this..." As he spoke, Dugu Xin wiped away the tears from his eyes, and pushed the soul bone in his hand again. "Father, I know my body well, and I can still hold on for a few more years. But what about you? Your current condition is much worse than mine, how long can you hold on?" "I……" Dugu Bo was also moved by Dugu Xin's true feelings. "I have my own soul bone, and its quality is higher than yours. You don't need to worry about me." "Your soul bone is in your head. It is too dangerous to force the poison into that place." As he spoke, Dugu Xin looked determined.
"I lost my mother when I was born, and I don't want to lose my father too." "you……" Seeing that Dugu Xin was absolutely unwilling to accept the soul bone, Dugu Bo had no idea what to do. Seeing this, Qin Ming coughed lightly. After attracting everyone's attention again, Qin Ming spoke slowly. "Don't fight about it, the soul bone issue is easy to handle, you don't need to worry about it!" As he spoke, Qin Ming took out another lead box from the storage ring. (End of this chapter)
