On the mountain peak, the three of them exchanged glances.

After a long silence, Dugu Bo turned to Wang Li and said:

"Blue Silver King! Life force!!"

He then turned to Dugu Yan:

"An immortal-grade treasure! Xiangsi Duanchanghong (Yearning Heartbreak Red)!!"

Wang Li nodded in acknowledgment:

"My mutated Blue Silver Grass has evolved to this point. It's almost the same as the Blue Silver King. It has a domain and can command regular Blue Silver Grass."

Dugu Yan took out the Xiangsi Duanchanghong flower. She had kept it with her ever since she picked it. Wang Li had never told her its name, so it was a surprise to learn it today:

"An immortal-grade treasure, Xiangsi Duanchanghong—is that its name?"

Dugu Bo then said meaningfully:

"It seems that what we've encountered today is not a human, but a 100,000-year soul beast. This soul beast is extremely special—it can take human form. Not only is it proficient in earth escape techniques, but it can also see through our secrets."

"He mentioned that when Xiao Li reaches level 90, he will give him a 100,000-year soul ring and a 100,000-year soul bone. Xiao Li, you've hit the jackpot. In the entire Soul Master world, these are undoubtedly the most top-tier treasures."

Wang Li was quite pleased as well. Even though he could increase his soul ring's age on his own, a 100,000-year soul ring and soul bone would provide an immense amount of life force.

He spoke up:

"That elder seems to be interested in the special soul power transformed by my second soul skill. Perhaps this is a trade."

Dugu Yan asked with concern:

"Could there be any danger?"

Dugu Bo responded solemnly:

"Don't worry, I'm here. No matter what this person is plotting, if it threatens Xiao Li's life, I will not allow it to proceed."

He then opened the jade box in his hand. Inside was a ginseng that was bright red, crystal clear, and adorned with a five-clawed dragon soaring in the sky.

Dugu Bo was excited. This item was clearly related to dragons, and their Bilin Snake martial soul belonged to the dragon lineage. Perhaps this ginseng could awaken the dragon blood within their martial soul and resolve its flaws.

After a brief pause, he said:

"This must be the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng. However, we should still have Elder Bai He confirm it. Also, we should give him the agreed reward. We may have gotten a good deal, so we shouldn't be stingy with these external items."

Wang Li nodded. The journey had been full of twists and turns, but the outcome was still very favorable. He smiled and said:

"Let's return to the White Family Fortress for a while, and then we'll head to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eyes. Grandpa, we'll let Yan Yan take the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng there to evolve her martial soul."

Dugu Bo's smile never faded. He grabbed Wang Li and Dugu Yan and led them back along the same path they had taken.

Not long later, they returned to the White Family Fortress.

After Dugu Bo revealed his presence, Bai He personally came out to greet them. Not only him, but beside him stood a cold-faced man, exuding a sharp aura. His face was stiff, his eyes gloomy—this was Bai He's reinforcements, the current family head of the Po Zhi clan, Yang Wudi.

However, Dugu Bo didn't pay him much mind. He took out the jade box, opened it, and let Bai He examine the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng. He then said:

"We chased the thief for dozens of miles and found him on a mountaintop. His situation is quite special. I won't go into details, but you take a look and confirm if this is the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng from your Min Zhi family?"

Bai He looked at the familiar ginseng and immediately nodded enthusiastically:

"Yes, it's it! It's our family's heirloom, the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng!"

After confirming it, Dugu Bo put the jade box away. Now that it was settled, he continued:

"Since that's the case, the transaction will proceed as promised. 150,000 gold soul coins. I will not go back on my word."

With those words, Dugu Bo reached into his storage soul tool, fumbled around for a moment, and pulled out several soul coin cards—golden and black in color—and handed them over:

"These can be used at any money exchange in the continent. You can exchange them anytime."

Bai He was overjoyed. Though he had lost the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng, receiving 150,000 gold soul coins would allow his family to enjoy ten years of rapid growth. For him, it was worth it.

Beside Bai He, Yang Wudi looked at him with a frustrated expression. If Bai He had told him earlier that the White Family had the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng, he would have sold everything, gathered the entire family's resources, and bought it with gold soul coins.

Now, Bai He and Dugu Bo had completed their trade, and he had no part in it.

Suddenly, his gaze casually drifted, landing on Dugu Yan. More specifically, it rested on the Xiangsi Duanchanghong flower she held.

In that instant, his eyes could not look away. His body seemed struck by lightning, frozen and unmoving. After a long silence, he finally spoke with a dry, hoarse voice:

"Miss, may I see the flower you're holding?"

Before Dugu Yan could respond, Dugu Bo stepped in front of her, eyeing the stiff-faced, shadowy-eyed man with a furrowed brow. He turned to Bai He and asked:

"Who is this person?"

Bai He, concerned about the potential for conflict, quickly stepped in to explain:

"Lord Bilin, he is a friend of mine—the head of the Po Zhi clan, Yang Wudi. Our clan's precious treasure was stolen, so I asked him to help. He has some knowledge of rare flowers and medicinal herbs, and his actions earlier were completely without malice."

As he spoke, Bai He continued to subtly signal Yang Wudi with his eyes, urging him to be cautious. A titled Douluo was not someone to offend.

Yang Wudi, known for his rebellious nature, now adopted a different tone. His earlier reaction had been triggered by excitement, and he said:

"Lord Bilin, I meant no offense. I'm simply very curious. That flower you have resembles a rare, immortal-grade treasure recorded in my clan's archives. That's why I wanted to confirm it."

He then glanced around. With so many people present, it was not the right time to present evidence, so he continued:

"This is not the place for such a conversation. Let's find somewhere more private, and I will provide the proof."

Dugu Bo's eyes flickered. The white-haired elder, who had spoken of the immortal-grade treasure and the Xiangsi Duanchanghong, had made similar remarks. It seemed that apart from him, the owner of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eyes, no one else knew so much about these rare herbs.

Wang Li had already suspected as much. After Bai He's introduction, he found the situation amusing. He hadn't expected to run into someone like Yang Wudi when visiting Bai He.

The Po Zhi clan specialized in both powerful martial souls and the study of medicinal herbs and poisons.

If they could learn from Yang Wudi about these rare herbs—how to use, prepare, and combine them—the entire collection of immortal-grade herbs in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eyes could truly be put to good use.

Seeing the situation unfolding, Bai He cautiously suggested:

"Why don't we head into the White Family Fortress? I'll find a quiet room where we can discuss things in more detail."
