Chapter 22: Concerns
Watching Bibi Dong's receding figure, Qin Ming's smile faded, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he began to silently calculate.
'Compared to Liu Erlong, Bibi Dong's obsession with Yu Xiaogang is actually deeper.
Liu Erlong was simply abandoned by her marriage, a case of unrequited love.
Her obsession with Yu Xiaogang is likely more driven by 'loss aversion.'
Bibi Dong's situation is even more dire. She was coerced by Qian Xunji, forced to separate from her beloved, and even became pregnant with her enemy's child.
During this time, Yu Xiaogang went from being her initial bright moonlight to the last ray of hope that illuminated her bleak life.
By threatening Bibi Dong with Yu Xiaogang, I'm effectively strangling this last ray of hope.
For now, it seems I have the upper hand.
But given Bibi Dong's personality
, if given the opportunity, she'd likely kill me without regard for the consequences.
Furthermore, after today's incident, Bibi Dong will certainly not let Yue Guan and Gui Mei go once she's strong enough...
Even Bishop Ke Lin, far away in Soto City, could be implicated by me.
Qin Ming's heart darkened at this thought.
"For my own sake, and for the increasing number of people standing behind me, I must seize every opportunity to cultivate!
Besides, I've only been in this world for a little over a month.
I haven't experienced many battles, so I only have soul power; my actual combat abilities aren't strong.
Therefore, I need to build up my combat experience."
Just as Qin Ming was lost in thought, Yue Guan patted his shoulder.
"Qin Ming, are you worried about Her Highness the Saint's revenge?
Don't worry, with Old Ghost and I watching over you, nothing will go wrong."
Hearing this, Qin Ming turned to look at Yue Guan.
Yue Guan also activated his martial spirit in a timely manner, demonstrating the pressure of his titled rank.
Seeing this, Qin Ming clasped his fists and smiled.
"Then I'll trouble Elder Yue Guan to take care of it."
"It's not a problem. It's not Bibi Dong's turn to speak in the Spirit Hall right now."
Qin Ming was slightly surprised by Yue Guan's domineering statement,
but his nervousness eased a bit.
"I will soon obtain two high-quality spirit bones. After absorbing them,
my spirit power level should increase significantly.
Besides, Bibi Dong hasn't gained power yet, so there's still time.
Besides, I should have a relatively comfortable life for the next year.
After all, because of Qian Renxue's pregnancy, Bibi Dong will likely be under close supervision for the next year.
I must take advantage of this relatively free time to maximize my strength."
Thinking of this, Qin Ming began to reflect on the opportunities mentioned in the original novel.
"With my current limited strength, I can't expect to gain any of the several divine inheritances.
At this time, the only opportunities I can attempt to obtain are the Blue Silver Emperor and the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire. "
The Blue Silver Emperor is easy to say; she most likely emerged from the Blue Silver Forest.
Tang Hao went down the mountain to train this year, so he and Tang Xiao wouldn't encounter the Blue Silver Emperor until next year.
Given Tang Hao's personality, he certainly wouldn't be secretive when traveling across the continent.
It shouldn't be difficult to figure out their route.
Working backwards from the Blue Silver Forest and Tang Hao,
we should be able to deduce the general area where they met. Then, we can find an excuse to take our teacher there...'
Qin Ming rubbed his chin as he thought of this, a rough plan already forming.
However, when he thought of the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire, he became troubled.
"Compared to the Blue Silver Emperor, the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire is the real headache for me. It
's located in the heart of the Sunset Forest, making it nearly impossible for me to penetrate it alone.
Furthermore, it's unclear when Dugu Bo discovered the Yin-Yang Eye.
Furthermore, the original novel doesn't explicitly state this. However, regarding the origin of Dugu Bo's head soul bone,
many speculate that it was obtained when Dugu Bo slew the soul beast guarding the Yin-Yang Eye at the eighth or ninth level.
Whether this speculation is true or not is currently unclear.
I can't act rashly...
Moreover, the Yin-Yang Eye must not be disclosed to the Spirit Hall's higher-ups at this time.
Otherwise, with the Qian Renxue in Bibi Dong's belly alone, she could snatch at least one or two immortal herbs.
I absolutely cannot aid the enemy.
Furthermore, having already decided to pursue a fire-attributed path, the most suitable immortal herb for me is undoubtedly the extremely yang Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower.
However, this immortal herb is also suitable for Qianxunji, who possesses an angel spirit.
If I truly gain access to the Yin-Yang Eye through the Spirit Hall's intervention
, the final distribution of the immortal herbs will be extremely uncertain.
Therefore, I must find another way to enter the Yin-Yang Eye...'
Thinking of this, Qin Ming looked up at Yue Guan, who was not far away.
"There was a conflict between the Yin-Yang Eye's first owner, Dugu Bo, and Yue Guan."
While the specific cause of this incident is unclear, it shouldn't be difficult to obtain some information about Dugu Bo from him.
With this in mind, Qin Ming made a decision. He looked at Yue Guan and asked,
"Elder Yue Guan, do you know of any spirit masters on the continent who specialize in poison?"
"Spirit masters who specialize in poison?"
Yue Guan was a little puzzled by Qin Ming's question. He didn't know why Qin Ming suddenly asked such a question, but he answered anyway.
"I do know of two spirit masters who specialize in poison.
One is Elder Cixue of our Spirit Hall, though I'm not familiar with him.
If you, Qin Ming, wish to contact him, you can seek the help of His Holiness the Pope.
The other is Dugu Bo, who is also quite powerful. He
's currently a Soul Douluo and seems to be living in Tiandou City.
Our Spirit Hall has recently been planning to recruit him."
After hearing Yue Guan's words, Qin Ming immediately highlighted the key points.
"Dugu Bo hasn't yet clashed with the Spirit Hall.
Furthermore, Dugu Bo has only reached the Soul Douluo level. "
That's right, the original novel mentions this.
After Dugu Bo broke through to the Titled Douluo level, he was stuck at level 91 for ten years.
It's understandable that he only has a Soul Power of around level 80 now.
And Dugu Bo's son shouldn't be dead yet.
Perhaps I could try to contact him later.
With this thought, Qin Ming looked at Yue Guan again and said,
"Elder Yue Guan, could you take me with you when you recruit that Soul Douluo?
I'm somewhat interested in those with the poison attribute."
"Interested in the poison attribute?"
Yue Guan muttered, pondering.
"This is probably just Qin Ming's excuse.
Bibi Dong's spirit is inherently poisonous.
Qin Ming is probably worried that Bibi Dong might use it to harm him, which is why he's thinking of contacting Dugu Bo."
Yue Guan nodded in agreement.
"Okay, Qin Ming, I'll take you with me when the time comes.
But there's no rush to recruit Dugu Bo.
We in the Spirit Hall have more important things to do..."
