"So, so, so beautiful..." The Porcupinefish Douluo muttered in disbelief. The soft soil, the herbs shimmering across the mountains and valleys, paired with the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well at the center—this place was nothing short of a paradise. It was even more breathtaking than the Lake of Life in the Star Dou Forest from his memory. 

Qian Renhan was also slightly moved. His gaze began scanning the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well for the celestial herb most compatible with his martial soul. He hesitated as his eyes landed on the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, which perfectly matched his extreme cold attribute. However, it required pairing with the Infernal Delicate Apricot to be effective. The extreme fire property of the latter was one of the nemeses of his Fallen Angel martial soul. 

Compared to the bodily refinement of combining the Infernal Delicate Apricot, Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, and the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well—resulting in an increase of several thousand years in spirit ring absorption—he preferred herbs that directly acted on his martial soul, stimulating its evolution. After all, the divine status and strength of the Angel Clan were closely tied to the number of wings one possessed. For different tiers of gods, the gap in strength couldn't simply be bridged by the advantage of spirit rings spanning tens of thousands of years. 

At that moment, a cold, indifferent voice rang out from a wooden house in the distance. "Who dares trespass in my medicinal garden? Do you not know the meaning of death?" 

Qian Renhan and the Porcupinefish Douluo turned to see an older man emerge. His entire body emitted a green, poisonous aura. His hair and long robe were both dark green, and his snake-like eyes gleamed like emeralds. He appeared to be in his fifties. With every step he took, spirit rings manifested beneath him—yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black—eight rings in total. The murderous intent radiating from him was utterly unrestrained. 

Qian Renhan glanced at him indifferently and waved his hand. "Elder Porcupinefish, kill him." 

Naturally, Qian Renhan knew who this man was—Dugu Bo, the future Poison Douluo. A mere gatekeeper-level character and a walking biochemical weapon. He was known for saying, "I can't beat a Titled Douluo, but I can make sure you're the only one left standing." 

As for Dugu Bo, Qian Renhan had no intention of recruiting him. He had no idea how to deal with the toxins in Dugu Bo's body. While Tang San's method of transferring the poison into a spirit bone was viable, it was far from a long-term solution. 

A spirit bone, much like Dugu Bo's body, was merely a container. And as with any container, it would eventually reach its limit. What then? Replace it with another? Did the Spirit Hall have that kind of wealth? Besides, a spirit bone filled with the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor's venom—who would dare use it? 

As for deceiving or tricking Dugu Bo into joining them, Qian Renhan had no interest. He was a ruthless Fallen Angel, not a hypocritical schemer. Such underhanded tactics were beneath him. 

"Yes, Young Master. I understand." The Porcupinefish Douluo replied respectfully, smirking at Dugu Bo. "Dugu Bo, you're quite bold. With your meager Soul Douluo-level strength, you dare direct killing intent at the Young Master and me?" 

Two yellow, three purple, and four black spirit rings emerged beneath the Porcupinefish Douluo. His entire body transformed into a massive, crimson river pufferfish covered in venomous spines. Hovering in mid-air, he opened his gaping maw, unleashing a terrifying suction force. 

"Elder Porcupinefish, be careful not to damage the herbs," Qian Renhan reminded. 

"I understand, Young Master," the Porcupinefish Douluo responded immediately, redirecting his attack toward Dugu Bo's wooden house. That area had been specifically constructed by Dugu Bo and didn't contain any medicinal herbs. 

"Poison spines, venom, Titled Douluo!" Dugu Bo's expression changed drastically. He had initially thought the intruders were merely small-time thieves but hadn't expected a Titled Douluo to show up. 

"Seventh Spirit Ability—Martial Soul True Body!" 

Recovering from his shock, Dugu Bo unleashed his full strength. A massive Jade Phosphor Serpent nearly 100 meters long emerged, its tail coiling tightly around the wooden house for support as it sprayed venom at the Porcupinefish Douluo. 

However, all of the venom spewed by Dugu Bo was swallowed whole by the Porcupinefish Douluo. His martial soul was inherently suited for absorbing toxins, and his cultivation allowed him to digest the venom into soul power, boosting his strength. Moreover, he could fuse the absorbed venom with his own innate poison, making him not only a formidable poison-wielding Soul Master but also a natural nemesis to all poison attribute Soul Masters. 

In the original storyline, when the equally matched Poison Douluo faced the Porcupinefish Douluo, he couldn't last even half a minute before being devoured. Now, with Dugu Bo still at the Soul Douluo level, how long could he possibly endure? It wasn't long before the wooden house shattered, and Dugu Bo's body was sent flying into the air. 

At that moment, Dugu Bo shouted desperately, "No, please! I'll leave! I'll leave immediately! I beg this Titled Douluo to spare my family!" 

Behind the ruined wooden house stood a young girl around four or five years old. She had purple hair and green eyes, her face brimming with fear as she screamed, "Grandpa!" 

Beside the girl was a still-elegant middle-aged woman who was likely her mother. The two clung to each other for comfort and protection. 

The young girl was Dugu Yan, eight years older than Tang San and one year younger than Qian Renhan. 

The Porcupinefish Douluo cast a questioning look at Qian Renhan. According to Spirit Hall's doctrine, family members were not to be harmed, as evidenced by the four single-attribute Clear Sky Clan members who had survived despite being cannon fodder in the original story. Otherwise, they would have been wiped out without a trace. 

However, Qian Renhan waved his hand dismissively, signaling their eradication. Concepts like sparing family members or leaving room for compromise held no meaning to him. He firmly believed in eliminating threats at the root. He wouldn't even leave earthworms intact, cutting them lengthwise in half, nor would he spare eggs, ensuring even the yolks were destroyed. 

"I'm sorry, Dugu Bo. I originally planned to spare your daughter-in-law and granddaughter, but since the Young Master has spoken, I must obey," the Porcupinefish Douluo declared. He unleashed his full power, and soon, Dugu Bo's entire family was swallowed whole, leaving nothing behind. 

As he was being devoured, Dugu Bo let out a frenzied roar, "Spirit Hall! I curse you! None of you will die a good death! Even as a ghost, I won't let you off!" 

The Porcupinefish Douluo's use of the term "Young Master" helped Dugu Bo deduce their identity. Aside from Spirit Hall, which other organization would address their future leader in such a manner? Other sects all used the title "Young Sect Master." 

After consuming Dugu Bo and his family, the Porcupinefish Douluo let out a satisfied burp and began digesting them. 

Half an hour later, a skull spirit bone emitting a pale, eerie white glow emerged from the Porcupinefish Douluo's mouth. Presenting it to Qian Renhan, he said, "Young Master, this is the spirit bone Dugu Bo possessed. It should be the Medusa Skull Bone of ten-thousand-year quality." 

Qian Renhan's eyes flickered with interest. A ten-thousand-year skull spirit bone was an invaluable treasure, the kind of asset that formed the foundation of an entire sect. If it were to be auctioned in the world of Soul Masters, it would undoubtedly lead to a bloody conflict. The Porcupinefish Douluo had chosen to present it to him rather than keep it for himself. Even if he feared being discovered, secretly selling it would have allowed him to live a life of luxury. 

After pondering for a moment, Qian Renhan said, "This spirit bone was obtained by you from killing Dugu Bo, so you should decide how to allocate it." For someone like the Porcupinefish Douluo, who lacked powerful offensive techniques, the Medusa Skull Bone, with its petrification and long-range magical attack abilities, was a fitting match. 

Hearing this, the Porcupinefish Douluo was overjoyed. "Thank you, Young Master!"
