38: Chapter 38 Dugu Bo is shocked! Qin Feng's methods! Unbelievable!

"Five pills in one furnace."

Qin Feng's lips curved slightly upward, revealing a satisfied smile.

This was his first time refining pills of this level, and achieving this success rate was already quite excellent.

It seemed the inheritance of the Pill King Yao Chen was truly formidable; placed in the Douluo Continent, it was simply an overwhelming advantage.

Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan were already stunned speechless.

"It's... done?"

Dugu Bo strode forward quickly, staring intensely at the pills in Qin Feng's hand.

"Are these the nine-star detoxification pills you mentioned?"

This form of medicine had never appeared in the history of the Douluo Continent.

Qin Feng nodded, casually picking up two pills and handing one each to Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan.

"Although the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor Poison is tyrannical, these nine-star detoxification pills utilize the medicinal properties of the Blazing Apricot Blossom and the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass as guides, neutralized with various top-grade detoxifying medicinal herbs."

"They can not only detoxify but also consolidate one's foundation, cultivate vital energy, and cleanse the marrow."

Dugu Yan took the pill and was about to put it into her mouth when Dugu Bo stopped her with a grasp.

"Wait a moment."

Dugu Bo's expression was solemn. He took the pill from Dugu Yan's hand, along with his own, and pinched them between his fingers, examining them closely.

Although he was shocked by Qin Feng's refining technique, since his granddaughter's life was at stake, he had to be cautious.

What if this pill was poisonous, or its medicinal properties were too intense for Yan Yan to bear?

"This old man will try first."

Dugu Bo finished speaking, no longer hesitating, and directly tossed a pill into his mouth.

The pill dissolved instantly upon entering his mouth, turning into a warm current that flowed down his throat.

Dugu Bo closed his eyes and immediately circulated his Soul Power to guide this medicinal force.

In an instant, that warm current erupted within his body.

It was not violent as Dugu Bo had feared; instead, it was incomparably gentle, permeating his meridians, bones, and internal organs like spring rain nourishing things.

The toxins that had been entrenched in his body for decades, like a stubborn ulcer, began to rapidly dissolve under the scouring of this medicinal force.

Pain.

And itching.

But immediately following was an unprecedented sense of ease.

It was as if he had been walking for decades carrying a burden of thousands of pounds, only to have that heavy load suddenly lifted.

Dugu Bo suddenly opened his eyes, two beams of sharp light shooting out.

His originally slightly hunched back straightened up perfectly, and the dark greenish pallor that had constantly shrouded his face visibly receded.

"Hahahaha! Good! Excellent!"

Dugu Bo threw his head back and roared with laughter, the sound echoing throughout the valley.

For the past few decades, every time it rained, he had to endure the pain of ten thousand ants gnawing at his heart caused by the toxin's backlash.

He had thought he would have to carry this suffering to his coffin. Unexpectedly, today he was truly liberated!

"Grandpa..."

Dugu Yan stared blankly at Dugu Bo.

She noticed that her grandfather's dark green hair seemed to have become glossier, the wrinkles on his face had smoothed out, and the entire person looked decades younger.

Dugu Bo's laughter gradually subsided, but the excitement in his eyes could not be hidden.

He turned around, grabbed Qin Feng's shoulder with a force so great it made Qin Feng's bones creak.

"Boy... No, Qin Feng!"

"Your pill is divine!"

"This old man's life was saved by you!"

Qin Feng calmly broke free from Dugu Bo's "iron clamp," rubbing his shoulder and smiling:

"Senior is exaggerating; it was merely a transaction."

Dugu Bo shook his head, his eyes slightly reddened.

He had killed countless people in his life, known as the Poison Douluo, feared by everyone.

But who knew the suffering within his heart?

What he feared most was his only granddaughter following in his footsteps and dying young.

"Yan Yan, quickly, quickly take the medicine!"

Dugu Bo urged, his voice trembling, "Take it, and our Dugu family will never have to suffer from this serpent poison again!"

Dugu Yan looked at her grandfather's face streaked with tears, and her heart was filled with sorrow.

Without the slightest hesitation, she put the emerald green pill in her hand into her mouth.

The medicinal power dissolved.

The sensation was indescribable.

The coldness and stinging pain inside her body rapidly dissipated, replaced by a warm, comfortable feeling.

She felt as if her Spirit was cheering; her Soul Power, which had stagnated due to the toxin's suppression, actually showed signs of breakthrough.

A moment later, Dugu Yan slowly opened her eyes, and those emerald green pupils became clearer than ever before.

"It's gone... It's really gone..."

Dugu Yan wept tears of joy.

She abruptly turned around and looked at the teenager standing by the rock, his expression calm and indifferent.

All her reserve was thrown to the back of her mind at this moment.

Dugu Yan threw herself directly into Qin Feng's arms, wrapping her arms tightly around his waist and burying her face in his chest.

"Thank you... Qin Feng, thank you so much..."

The young girl's soft body pressed tightly against him, carrying a unique, faint fragrance.

Qin Feng's body stiffened slightly, then he relaxed, even patting Dugu Yan's back quite naturally.

She offered herself up; it would be a waste not to hug her.

Dugu Bo, watching the two embracing tightly, was not angry at all; instead, he stroked his beard and nodded repeatedly.

"Not bad, not bad."

"A talented man and a beautiful woman, a match made in heaven."

"Yan Yan's taste is just like mine—sharp!"

After confirming that Qin Feng truly possessed such heaven-defying means, Dugu Bo's scales had already tipped completely.

A monstrous genius like this, possessing such miraculous alchemy, if he could become his granddaughter's husband, it would be as if the Dugu family's ancestral grave was emitting green smoke!

Dugu Yan heard her grandfather's words and only then realized she was still in Qin Feng's embrace. She quickly let go with a blush, stepping back two paces, but her gaze remained fixed on Qin Feng, shimmering with emotion.

Dugu Bo walked forward, patted Qin Feng's shoulder, and his tone became exceptionally solemn.

"Qin Feng, I entrust Yan Yan to you from now on."

"Rest assured, this old man's judgment of character will not be wrong."

"As for the trouble you worried about regarding that hundred thousand year spirit bone..."

Dugu Bo let out a cold laugh, and a fierce killing intent suddenly erupted from him.

"As long as a Titled Douluo doesn't personally arrive, this old man guarantees you can walk sideways in the Heaven Dou Empire!"

"Even if a Titled Douluo comes, this old man is no pushover."

"If they really push this old man too far, even if I can't beat them in a direct fight, I can poison their entire family, poison everyone in their city!"

"I'd like to see which blind fool on this continent dares to touch my grandson-in-law!"

This was the confidence of the Poison Douluo.

In terms of one-on-one combat, he was at the bottom among the Titled Douluos.

But in terms of area attacks and deterrence, he was absolutely the nightmare that all forces were most unwilling to provoke.

In his eyes, there was no morality or law, only his own people and others.

Qin Feng looked at the protective old man and a smile curved his lips.

"Then I thank Senior."

...Night fell.

Heaven Dou Royal Academy, faculty dormitory.

Qin Feng and Dugu Yan had already returned to the academy.

At this moment, Qin Feng was sitting cross-legged on the bed, taking stock of the gains from the trip to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

Besides those few top-grade Immortal Plants, he had also casually gathered many other rare medicinal ingredients, enough for him to refine various auxiliary cultivation pills.

"This trip was a huge profit."

Qin Feng was in high spirits.
