8: The method of soul core
Hearing this, Dugu Bo's doubts were completely dispelled. After all, the Dai Mubai before him currently possessed a powerful Martial Soul and terrifying talent realm that had never appeared before. This had already convinced him that this child must be a God inheritor. However, only the fact that the God inherited by Dai Mubai had a past connection with his lineage could completely dispel his doubts about this matter.
"Then, Brother Dai, please make sure to solve my granddaughter's problem first. I am already old, so these things don't matter, but Yan Yan is only in her teens, and her life is still very long."
Dugu Bo looked at Dai Mubai, speaking with a smile, but unconsciously used respectful language and even called him brother.
Dai Mubai looked at Dugu Bo, who was starting to show a hint of flattery towards him, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly. If it weren't for his granddaughter, even if he were the so-called God inheritor, Dugu Bo probably wouldn't have such an attitude towards him. After all, Dugu Bo had rejected Spirit Hall's invitation back then, and in the original work, Dugu Yan's poison was not completely resolved in the end.
Thinking of this, he had already made up his mind to completely solve the Martial Soul problems of both Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan. He didn't show it on his face, and slowly spoke the conditions.
"Although the God I inherited wants me to help Mianxia's family solve their Martial Soul problem, I can't do it for nothing, can I?"
Hearing this, Dugu Bo slowly nodded. After all, although the God inherited by Dai Mubai offered to help his family solve their Martial Soul problem because of a past connection, he couldn't really let Dai Mubai spend effort helping him and his granddaughter for free.
Dugu Bo thought for a moment and began to speak about the reward he planned to give Dai Mubai after resolving this matter.
.
"Of course, I will not let Little Friend Dai exert himself for nothing. If Little Friend Dai can truly cure the problem of my Dugu lineage, I am willing to do three things for Little Friend Dai unconditionally within my ability."
Hearing this, Dai Mubai didn't show it on his face, but he was beaming with joy inside. Finally, the Immortal Herbs were about to be in his hands, and the promises he made to Ma Hongjun and Oscar could also be fulfilled at the same time.
Pulling back his thoughts, Dai Mubai nodded and said, "Then let's go to your secluded place, Sunset Forest. Only there are the medicinal materials that can solve the Martial Soul problem of your Dugu lineage."
Hearing this, Dugu Bo's understanding of Dai Mubai deepened. It seemed that the God Dai Mubai was about to inherit might indeed have a deep connection with his lineage. They even knew the specific medicinal materials needed for treatment and had instructed Dai Mubai in advance.
Dugu Bo and Dai Mubai walked out of the tea house with smiles, called a carriage, and headed towards Sunset Forest.
Half a day later.
"Reporting, Miss, Poison Douluo entered the target tea house. Two quarters of an hour later, Poison Douluo Mianxia and a young man in luxurious clothes left the tea house talking and laughing and headed back towards Sunset Forest."
A man in black knelt and reported his work to Dugu Yan.
Hearing this, Dugu Yan was certain that what was said in the letter was true. After all, with her Grandfather's personality, if it were false, that person would have been tortured to death on the spot long ago.
Thinking this, Dugu Yan waved her hand, signaling the man in black to withdraw. The strange deaths of her parents, everything said in the letter, and her Grandfather's actions. It seemed that her Martial Soul did indeed have a problem, but the specific answer needed to come from her Grandfather.
After making up her mind, Dugu Yan prepared to cancel everything in the next two days and go back to her Grandfather to get an answer.
At the same time, inside Sunset Forest.
Dai Mubai looked at the ground covered in Immortal Herbs, doing his best to suppress the corners of his mouth from turning up. He opened his mouth and told Dugu Bo everything he needed.
"Prepare a medicinal cauldron for me. I will prepare a medicinal bath for the initial relief for you. Then, after you have relieved for a few days and adjusted to the best state, I will give you the method to resolve the toxins in your body."
"Can't you give it to me first?"
Dugu Bo looked at Dai Mubai and couldn't help but ask.
Dai Mubai rolled his eyes and exposed Dugu Bo's little scheme.
"As soon as you get it, you'll definitely want to give it to your granddaughter first, right? Your condition and hers are different, and your cultivation levels are also different. The methods are naturally different too. There's no need for me to come all this way to harm someone I've never met."
Dugu Bo, whose thoughts had been exposed, blushed slightly and turned around, pretending to go back to get the medicinal cauldron.
Dai Mubai couldn't help but laugh as he watched Dugu Bo's departing figure. This Dugu Bo was too doting on his granddaughter; he would give all the good things to his granddaughter first.
At this moment, Dai Mubai fell into deep thought. Although detoxifying Dugu Bo was easy for him, curing his granddaughter completely would be difficult. After all, his granddaughter was only a Soul Venerable. Suddenly, something came to him, and he couldn't help but slap his head, muttering.
"How silly of me! Just let her granddaughter hide the poison in her Soul Bone first, and then condense a Soul Core at level seventy. Wouldn't that be fine? Although Dugu Yan's talent cannot guarantee Title Douluo, advancing to a Soul Saint is definitely guaranteed."
After speaking, he couldn't help but remember the book on cultivation systems that was almost gathering dust in his spatial storage. This was something he had since the system appeared, but he had never paid attention to it. Wasn't it coming in handy now?
Dai Mubai looked at the ground full of Immortal Herbs and began to allocate them. He would definitely use the Fiery Apricot Delicate and the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass to forge his golden body. The Strange Velvet Sky Incarnation Chrysanthemum was also suitable for him. As for the Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid and the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower, they would definitely be given to Oscar and Ma Hongjun.
Only the remaining Immortal Herbs, the Gazing Through Autumn Water Dew and the Silky Velvet Immortal Flower, would be kept for now. The former would definitely not be given to Tang San. As for Ning Rongrong, he would see if she could first change her spoiled young lady's temper; otherwise, he would rather feed it to a dog than give it to her.
He planned to give the Lovebroken Heartbroken Red to Zhu Zhuqing. After all, she was his wife. If Zhu Zhuqing couldn't accept it for a while, there was still the Narcissus Jade Bone to cushion it; he definitely couldn't let her suffer a loss.
"Little Friend Dai, I'm back."
By the time Dai Mubai had finished allocating the Immortal Herbs in his mind, Dugu Bo had already returned and called out to Dai Mubai, holding the medicinal cauldron.
Pulling back his thoughts, Dai Mubai prepared the medicinal materials to help Dugu Bo relieve his symptoms. After lighting the fire, he put them in one by one, watching Dugu Bo nod, indicating he could enter.
Looking at the medicinal bath in the cauldron, Dugu Bo was actually feeling uneasy inside. After all, everything before was just analysis. Dai Mubai hadn't produced any concrete evidence yet. Of course, what he feared was that his departure would lead to his granddaughter being bullied.
Taking a deep breath, Dugu Bo said to himself inwardly: If it's false or if he detects anything unusual, he will kill Dai Mubai on the spot. After all, Dai Mubai is currently just a Soul Venerable, and even a God inheritor is not a death exemption token in front of him.
As Dugu Bo jumped in, he immediately felt a burning sensation spreading across his body. After only a few dozen breaths, waves of soul-piercing pain enveloped him. Upon careful inspection, he realized it was the hidden toxins in his body slowly being expelled.
For a moment, Dugu Bo couldn't help but glance at Dai Mubai, only to find Dai Mubai looking at him with a half-smile, as if his thoughts had been discovered by Dai Mubai's previous thoughts.
Therefore, Dugu Bo closed his eyes tightly and seriously began to expel the toxins accumulated in the hidden parts of his body.
Looking at Dugu Bo's state, Dai Mubai shook his head. He could also understand Dugu Bo's previous worries. His current lie about being a God inheritor only involved his Martial Soul and Domain; there was nothing else. It was normal for Dugu Bo to be wary of him, after all, they had only known each other for less than a day.
However, because of this action, Dai Mubai also temporarily gave up the idea of giving Immortal Herbs to Dugu Bo's granddaughter.
An hour later.
"Comfortable!"
Dugu Bo leaped out of the medicinal cauldron, looking at Dai Mubai with eyes full of approval, and then eagerly asked Dai Mubai.
"I indeed feel much more comfortable. Can you give me the remaining method now?"
Looking at the still impatient Dugu Bo, Dai Mubai couldn't help but think of Ma Hongjun. In some aspects, the personalities of these two were exactly the same.
Dai Mubai cleared his throat and began to explain.
"Currently, there are two methods. The first is the Soul Bone method, which forces all the toxins in your body into your Soul Bone..."
"That's right! How could I not have thought of such a good method?"
Looking at Dugu Bo, who had interrupted him, Dai Mubai looked at him speechlessly. Only then did Dugu Bo realize that he had been a bit too hasty. He chuckled and said.
"Little Friend Dai, I was too impatient. Please continue... continue."
Dai Mubai couldn't help but shake his head and continued to speak.
"However, this method has a possibility of recurrence later on, and your granddaughter won't be completely cured for life using this method. But the second method is different. The Soul Core method, only by condensing a Soul Core can this matter be completely resolved, and it can also significantly increase your strength."
As soon as Dugu Bo heard about the potential risks, he almost interrupted to finish listening. Soul Core, something he had never heard of before. So he couldn't help but continue to question. He didn't even carefully sense the people approaching from a distance, because this matter was too important.
"What is a Soul Core?"
"A Soul Core is..."
"Grandfather, who is this person? Is what was said in that letter true! Is the death of my parents related to this?"
Dugu Yan's sudden appearance from a distance interrupted their conversation. She ran over and looked at Dugu Bo, asking impatiently.
