68: Five poisons, anti-poison

"Kid, you're not being fair!"

Whoosh, a figure like a javelin suddenly appeared before Su Ye.

Dugu Bo stretched out a gloomy, foul face, his pair of emerald green eyes cold and sharp, subtly revealing a hint of heartache.

Su Ye immediately understood, laughing heartily and awkwardly. He guessed this guy had smelled the effect of the medicinal herbs and felt he had been tricked.

The reality was just as Su Ye thought. Although Dugu Bo didn't know the exact effects of the medicinal herbs, the improvement in Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong's cultivation couldn't be hidden.

As the Poison Douluo, few on this continent could surpass his perception of medicine. He could definitely sense the surging medicinal power within their bodies.

If he had known those medicinal herbs were so precious and could greatly increase Soul Power, he, Dugu Bo, would absolutely not have easily agreed to Su Ye's conditions.

All in all.

He now... felt like he had been scammed!

Scammed?

Can this be called a scam?

Su Ye gave a certain person an unamused roll of his eyes.

"You're a Title Douluo, yet when did you become as wishy-washy as a woman?"

"Since you've determined that the result you need is worth going all out for, then you should be decisive to the end."

"As a grown man, you're now haggling over something you agreed to. Not only is it not shameful, but you also have the nerve to open your mouth."

He looked him up and down, his gaze full of naked disdain.

"This..." Dugu Bo was instantly speechless, his old face flushed. To think he usually lectured others like this, yet now he was being lectured by a junior.

If it were anything else, he would never have said a single word. It was a matter of mutual agreement, and there was nothing wrong with that.

The problem was, the Immortal Herbs were incredibly effective, and he wanted to get some for his granddaughter, Dugu Yan, to improve her cultivation. That's why he had lowered his old face and prepared to get something for nothing.

Who would have thought that Su Ye was as slippery as an eel and didn't fall for it, instead turning the tables on him.

He, Dugu Bo, was naturally arrogant, but not completely shameless. There was a prior agreement, and these medicinal herbs indeed belonged to Su Ye.

Bang—!

His palm was smoking, showing how much force he had used when throwing it.

"This is...?" Dugu Bo raised an eyebrow, looking at the book in his hand with confusion.

Su Ye's gentle voice sounded at the same moment.

"Since I've received such enormous benefits from you, I'm not going to bite the hand that feeds me."

"The poison cultivation technique you practice is too trashy. This poison cultivation technique can control the toxins in your body. With Dugu Yan's talent, it's absolutely no problem for her to cultivate to Soul Emperor before she's thirty."

"If you feel there's a risk, you can also transfer the toxins in your body into a Soul Bone temporarily, at least so it doesn't hinder your cultivation."

"Although this technique can probably only help with cultivation up to Soul Emperor, and it gets slower the further you go, the cultivation speed is definitely faster than meditating."

Whoosh!

Dugu Bo suddenly realized the meaning of the words and said with great joy, "You mean, by transferring the toxins into a Soul Bone, I can solve the drawback of the Bi Lin Serpent Martial Soul?"

"That's right." Patting his clothes, Su Ye calmly stood up.

"Of course, this is just a temporary measure. Transferring toxins into a Soul Bone will inevitably affect the quality of the Soul Bone."

"Ordinary Soul Bones don't have the growth potential of external Soul Bones. Even if they can absorb toxins, they definitely won't be able to fully adapt. A person can only absorb a few Soul Bones in total, so that would be too wasteful."

"Or rather, if you think your granddaughter will have enough Soul Bones in the future, then that's another matter."

"So instead of letting the poison be confined, it's better to completely control the Bi Lin Serpent poison and use it for yourself!"

Hearing this, Dugu Bo's heart trembled violently, and a sense of longing spontaneously arose.

Completely control the poison?

Even he, the Poison Douluo, only utilized poison, let alone completely control it.

The Poison Douluo tormented by poison...

If such a scandal were to spread, people would laugh their heads off.

Dugu Bo hurriedly cast his gaze towards the book. He saw 'Five Poisons Guide * Upper Part' written on the cover.

"If Yan'er can truly control this poison in the future, she won't end up like me."

Rubbing the ancient cover with his finger, Dugu Bo knew clearly that since there was an upper part, there must be a lower part.

This was a blatant bait!

"My latter half of life, could it really be ruined by this kid?"

Dugu Bo sighed and shook his head. At this moment, he didn't know how many people would beg for the opportunity he had.

Dugu Bo was about to open and read the 'Five Poisons Guide' carefully, when suddenly Su Ye seemed to remember something and slapped his thigh hard, which startled him and made his heart jump.

"Is there something else wrong with this thing?"

Dugu Bo's heart tightened, and he quickly asked. He had already been tormented by poison quite a bit, and he didn't dare let Yan'er have any problems cultivating the poison technique.

"No, not at all."

Su Ye showed a polite yet awkward smile, "It's just that when I was calculating earlier, I forgot to include the next eighteen generations of the Du Gu Family's descendants, after all, this poison is hereditary."

"Logically, you should work for me for decades. Thinking about it now, ten years is actually a bit too cheap for you."

The young man had clear features, and on his resolute face, that innocent smile was like a "warm sun."

However... this warmth was something few could bear.

"......" (ーー゛)。。

Dugu Bo's mouth twitched into an awkward smile. People really do laugh out of frustration when they are extremely speechless.

Jokes aside, Su Ye didn't forget about the main business.

The medicinal herbs he had asked Dugu Bo to prepare earlier, he had already "gathered." One portion was for body tempering, and one portion was for tempering the heart.

Thinking about future cultivation, Su Ye also asked about the Thunderclap Hell Vine.

"Frequent lightning?"

After a little thought, Dugu Bo shook his head and replied in a deep voice, "There's none here in the Sunset Forest. I've been wandering the Soul Master world for many years, and I've rarely seen situations where forests are frequently struck by lightning."

"Lightning-attribute Soul Beasts are rare. The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family should know more about this aspect."

He doesn't know...

Su Ye thought about it and felt it was normal, not feeling disappointed.

The Thunderclap Hell Vine is too abnormal of a plant. It is a top-tier plant-type Soul Beast from birth and can only become stronger by being struck by lightning.

Once it breaks through a hundred years, it can attract heavenly lightning strikes itself, and its cultivation progresses by leaps and bounds.

Lightning is one of the most destructive energies. Fierce Beasts also have heavenly tribulation disasters. The Thunderclap Hell Vine cultivates with this, completely immune to heavenly tribulation, and its cultivation is unimpeded.

A Ten-Thousand-Year cultivation Thunderclap Hell Vine can change the weather, causing lightning to descend upon the human world. Also, because the compressed lightning energy is too powerful, they often self-destruct and perish within fifty thousand years.

The Heavenly Dipper Divine Fist, the third level requires lightning-attribute medicinal herbs to forge a "Lightning Spirit Heart."

Although other lightning-attribute medicinal herbs can also be used for tempering, how can ordinary lightning elements compare to the lightning from the sky?

Moreover, the later levels also require frequent lightning tempering. With the Thunderclap Hell Vine's ability to attract lightning anytime and anywhere, whether for tempering or combat, it is the best choice for Su Ye.

"Soul Beasts with the bloodline of the Thunder God are very rare, basically similar to the Thunderclap Hell Vine, they are all top-tier existences."

"Spending time looking for them is secondary, but the key is that hunting them is also difficult. This is a bit troublesome."

Tapping his fingers on his arm and crossing his hands, Su Ye was lost in thought, already anticipating that this matter would not be easy.
