Chapter 129 The temptation of elixirs, bodyguard?

A loud explosion sounded in the Sunset Forest. The thunderous explosion made all the disciples of the Body Sect cover their ears involuntarily. After a while, they looked at each other with lingering fear and cast their gazes towards the location where Du Bu Si was.

Not far away, Xiao Yan tried his best to calm his rapid breathing. His face was slightly pale. The Buddha's Fury Lotus that had just merged three kinds of beast fire and one kind of strange fire had consumed a huge amount of his soul power and fighting spirit.

As the smoke gradually dissipated, a huge dark pit with four-color flames appeared in the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire. The pit was more than ten meters high and about twenty meters in diameter. At that moment, the eyelids of all the disciples of the Body Sect could not help but twitch.

"Where is the person?" Xiao Yan looked towards the dark pit, but did not see Du Bu Si's figure. He blinked and said in surprise.

"Cough... cough..." At this moment, a violent coughing sound came from a deep pit not far away.

The next second, a dark hand slowly reached out from the deep pit. A moment later, a charred figure crawled out with difficulty. Judging from his body shape, he seemed to be the Du Bu Si from before...

At this time, Du Bu Si's entire body was not only charred black, but even his clothes and hair were completely singed. His body was shaking slightly, and his palms were also trembling unconsciously. In the previous horrific explosion, Du Bu Si had almost used up all his strength to just resist the horrific fire wave.

"Crazy...you madman, it's just a bet, is it necessary to be like this?" Thinking of what a miserable end he would have ended up with if he had not activated his martial spirit and tried to resist the fire lotus, Du Bu Si's face turned pale and his lips trembled as he spoke.

However, even though he was cursing, even Du Bushi himself did not realize that deep in his heart, he actually felt a little fear towards this young man who was only twenty years old and whose strength was only about level forty.

Looking at Du Bu Si, who was completely black, as if he had just come back from coal mining, Xiao Yan took a step forward and asked tentatively, "Old man, are you okay?"

Hearing Xiao Yan's question, Du Bu Si slowly raised his head. Seeing the handsome face of the black-robed boy, his body couldn't help but shiver. He smiled awkwardly and said, "Little brother, I lost. I used the power of my martial spirit."

"You...what skill did you just use? Why is it so powerful? Well, you can leave on your own. I will no longer force you to join our sect."

Looking at Du Bu Si, whose aura had almost dropped to the lowest point, Xiao Yan touched his nose. He knew very well in his mind that although the former's strength was close to that of Limit Douluo, that is, Half-Step Douluo, he did not choose to dodge, but stood there like a wooden stake, allowing the Buddha's Fury Lotus to shoot at him and then explode in front of him.

Such a seemingly stupid behavior would undoubtedly require an extremely huge explosive force to be endured, which is why Du Bu Si suffered serious injuries.

Glancing down, Xiao Yan saw the red blood flowing from Du Bu Si's palms. A gleam of light flashed in his eyes and he smiled, "Old sir, have you forgotten one thing? We just agreed that if I force you to use the power of your martial spirit, you will agree to a request from me that does not violate morality."

"Well, tell me. As long as I can do it, I will never refuse." Upon hearing this, a blush appeared on Du Bu Si's pale face, and he said seriously.

"I once had a grudge with Shrek Academy, the number one academy on the continent. Soon, those old guys from Poseidon Pavilion will probably come to trouble me. During this period, I would like to trouble you to be my bodyguard for a while. What do you think?" Xiao Yan let out a light breath, and after a brief silence, he said lightly.

"Shrek Academy? How did you provoke them? It's a big guy on the mainland!" Upon hearing this, Du Bu Si was slightly stunned and said in surprise.

"How did I provoke them? They should have come to provoke me for no reason. I just killed a student from Shrek Academy to avenge my mother, and they kept chasing me." Xiao Yan said casually.

"Shrek Academy is very powerful. Legend has it that they seem to be able to communicate with that place." Du Bu Si rubbed his chin while speaking, raised his head and looked up at the sky, and said hesitantly: "This favor of yours is not easy. You actually want me to be your bodyguard and fight against Shrek Academy."

"I may agree with you on other matters, but this matter..."

"Old sir, you are not afraid of Shrek Academy, are you?" Xiao Yan said with a smile.

Hearing this, Du Bu Si curled his lips and said, "Don't try to provoke me in such a low-level way. Although I am a little afraid of Shrek Academy, I am far from being afraid of it. I just don't want to be used as a gun by you for no reason. However, if you are willing to join our Body Sect, I can agree to your request."

"As long as you join the Body Sect, no matter who finds trouble with you, everyone in the sect will keep you safe. What do you think?"

Frowning slightly, Xiao Yan glanced at Du Bu Si and said with a smile, "Old sir, I think your current strength should be around level ninety-eight, which is only a hair's breadth away from level ninety-nine."

"But, if you want to break through to level ninety-nine, it will probably be impossible without several decades or even hundreds of years of hard work, right?"

The corner of his mouth twitched, Du Bu Si glanced at Xiao Yan and said unhappily: "Aren't you talking nonsense? Let alone decades or hundreds of years, with that one level difference, if there is no opportunity in the future, it is unknown whether I can break through in my lifetime."

“Old sir, what if I could help you to improve your strength from level ninety-eight to level ninety-nine in a very short period of time?” Xiao Yan said with a low laugh.

Hearing this, Du Bu Si's old face changed slightly, and a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes. However, after a moment, he quickly returned to normal, staring at Xiao Yan with extreme caution, and said, "I don't believe it. Don't try to deceive me."

"Old sir, I am an alchemist. Do you see the medicinal herbs around?" As he spoke, Xiao Yan casually pointed to the various natural treasures in the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire, and said lightly: "I can first refine a pill that can upgrade a Soul Douluo to a Titled Douluo. When the time comes, you can find someone to eat it and try it out."

"If it's feasible, how about you be my bodyguard for three years?"

"Three years later, I will refine another pill for you that can increase your soul power from level ninety-eight to level ninety-nine."

"Be your bodyguard for three years? The soul power level is raised from level ninety-eight to level ninety-nine, this... this is impossible? Wait, what did you just say? Can you first refine a pill that can upgrade the Soul Douluo to Titled Douluo? And then let me find someone to try it?" With a twitching eye, Du Bu Si said in disbelief.

"Okay, you refine it first. If your elixir can really enable a Soul Douluo-level Soul Master to instantly break through to the Titled Douluo level, then I will trust you and be your bodyguard for three years. At that time, no matter who finds trouble with you, I will take it on for you."

The reason why Du Bu Si agreed so readily was because the conditions offered by Xiao Yan were too tempting. His brother Du Bi Si had spent his entire life trying to cross the gap between level 98 and level 99. In the days ahead, if Du Bu Si did not encounter any opportunities, he would certainly not be able to cross this gap.

If it was someone else who said this, Du Bu Si might not believe it at all, but this young man in front of him, who was about level 40, had just created a fire lotus that was enough to threaten a Titled Douluo, which made him have to think more...

Moreover, Xiao Yan also said that he could first refine a pill that could upgrade a Soul Douluo to a Titled Douluo and give it to him to try first. If it works, he would fulfill the agreement.

Although the Body Sect, Mingde Hall, and Shrek Academy are known as the three major forces on the mainland, there are only two Titled Douluo, one is Du Bu Si Zi, and the other is its deputy leader Jin Peng Douluo, but there are many Soul Douluo.

If Xiao Yan could help the Body Sect add a Titled Douluo, it would undoubtedly greatly enhance the sect's strength. Faced with such a temptation, it was inevitable that Du Bu Si would be tempted.

"Haha, okay. But the Soul Douluo who takes the elixir must be between level 88 and 89." Hearing this, Xiao Yan pondered for a moment, then nodded with a smile and said in a deep voice: "To refine the elixir, I need to find a secluded place. I can't let anyone disturb me, including you, old man."

After he finished speaking, a golden light lit up from Xiao Yan's eyes, and his martial soul's first soul skill, mental detection, was activated. After a moment, he found a cave not far away, and with a flash of his body, he headed straight for the cave.

...............

The cave was not as dark as one would imagine. Xiao Yan had placed several soul guides on the cave wall for lighting. The faint soft light spread throughout the cave, which was neither dazzling nor gloomy.

Xiao Yan didn't know that the owner of this cave was the Poison Douluo Dugu Bo from ten thousand years ago. Back then, the latter almost killed the God King Tang San here.

Sitting cross-legged on a piece of bluestone, Xiao Yan flicked his ring with his fingers and asked in his heart: "Teacher, I remember you once told me that there is a kind of elixir called Douling Pill on the Douqi Continent, which can upgrade the Soul Douluo of this world to Titled Douluo. In other words, it can make the Titled Douluo below level 95 increase one level of soul power. In this case, teacher, it's your turn to take action."

“Alas… I knew you would ask an old man like me to do hard labor again.” The ring trembled slightly, and Yao Lao slowly floated out of it. He looked at Xiao Yan and said lightly: “The Douling Pill is a fifth-grade pill. The herbs needed to refine it can be collected in the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire.”

"But, you promised that old man that you would help him break through to level ninety-nine in the future. What's going on? Do you want me to help him refine an Imperial Pill? It's not easy to find medicinal materials to refine an Imperial Pill."

“Hehe, we’ll talk about it when the time comes.” Xiao Yan spread his hands and smiled innocently, “I would like to refine it myself, but this Douling Pill is a fifth-grade pill, and I can’t refine it with my current strength.”

In response to Xiao Yan's words, Yao Lao could only roll his eyes, sigh, and wave his hand. The medicinal herbs collected in the ring scattered out and floated in front of him.

“Watch carefully. It will be beneficial to you to see how to refine high-level medicine pills up close.” After reminding Xiao Yan, Yao Lao slowly stretched out his palm. Immediately, a white flame rose from his palm.

Looking calmly at the white flame on his palm, after it gradually rose up, Yao Lao let out a light breath, and then threw a piece of medicinal material into it. The refining of the Douling Pill was officially started in this cave!

A few hours later.

A few inches above Yao Lao's palm, a green, round pill the size of a longan was spinning rapidly. Judging from the gloss on its surface, it was obviously in the final step of pill condensation.

"Teacher, is the elixir almost ready?" Looking at the scene in front of him, Xiao Yan rubbed his eyes and said happily.

"Hmm." Upon hearing this, Yao Lao nodded slightly, his palm trembled slightly, and an even more intense forest-white flame rose up, finally completely enveloping the green pill in it. Then, a violent energy ripple actually rippled out directly from the pill, and then spread out of the forest.

The next second, several frightened animal roars were heard in the Sunset Forest.

Feeling the sudden energy ripples, Xiao Yan's face changed slightly. At the same time, the green pill that was taking shape suddenly released extremely strong medicinal fragrance. Moreover, this medicinal fragrance also had a slightly light green color. It came out from the cave and finally lingered in the sky above the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire.

.........

At the same time, in Xingluo City, the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition was held.

When Jing Hongchen was about to have a conflict with Xuanzi, the Emperor of the Xingluo Empire suddenly appeared. Under his consolation, Xuanzi did not dare to act again. After all, his anger was all acted. He now hoped more than anyone else that Ma Xiaotao would become an evil soul master. Not long ago, he was rescued by Ye Xishui and had completely joined the Holy Spirit Church.

There is no way back for a glutton who has eaten human flesh, unless he dies.

In the end, under the fusion skill Hongchen Zhuanlian of Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen's martial soul, Shrek Academy was defeated miserably and became the first time in nearly thousands of years that it did not win the championship. Suddenly, thunderous cheers broke out at this moment, and all the audience were surprised that the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy won the championship.

Tiansha Douluo Huang Jinxu took a deep breath and announced loudly: "The game is over. The winner is Sun Moon Royal Academy. All the competitions of this Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition have ended. The final champion is the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy team."

However, at this moment, an old man with a rather hunched figure, accompanied by nearly ten imposing men, walked into Xingluo City. He whispered to himself, "Mingde Hall, Sun and Moon Empire, it is time to settle the matter of you killing the elder of my Sea God Pavilion."
