Douluo: Emerald Poison King

Chapter 61: Shocking My Mom for a Hundred Years
"Young man, you have great talent." At this moment, Dugu Bo no longer called him "young man", but called him "young man" with a smile.

To be honest, when Dugu Bo's old face was angry and serious just now, Chen Ming felt that he was quite majestic, at least he looked like a Titled Douluo. But when he smiled like this, Chen Ming almost associated Dugu Bo with the perverted pervert he had seen in his previous life.

When he was a child, the neighborhood was not safe, and he was so handsome that not only normal grandpas, aunts, uncles, and aunts liked him, but some abnormal grandpas, aunts, uncles, and aunts also set their eyes on him...

Although nothing that could not pass the review actually happened, Chen Ming still felt a little PTSD about this smile.

"You must have learned this from a book. I wonder which family you come from, with such a high-quality martial spirit and excellent family heritage. I, Dugu Bo, have been traveling around the continent for so many years, but I have never heard of such an excellent poison soul master named Chen."

"Senior Dugu, I..."

"Hey, senior, you are so formal. It makes me seem unkind. Just call me grandpa." Dugu Bo interrupted Chen Ming and said with a smile.

"Dugu...Grandpa." Even though his age in his two lives combined was only that of a grandson in front of Dugu Bo, Chen Ming still felt a little uncomfortable when he called him that.

"Yeah." Dugu Bo nodded kindly.

"I was born in the Chen family of Biluo City. Our family's heirloom martial spirit is the Emerald Scorpion. The first ancestor was born more than 500 years ago and was a commoner. Later, he was made a hereditary earl based on his military exploits, and his fiefdom was in Biluo City."

"In fact, Biluo City was also built by our family's ancestors, and several generations of city lords at the beginning were also from our Chen family."

"Biluo City, that desolate place outside Biluo Gorge? Although it is known as a rare gathering place for poisonous spirit beasts in the entire continent, there are not even a few ten-thousand-year-old poisonous spirit beasts in that place?"

Dugu Bo was a straightforward person, he said directly what was on his mind, and then he felt a little embarrassed.

"Ahem, what I mean is that although that place is uninhabitable for ordinary people, it is a good place for us poison soul masters. I went there when I was young, and it is almost a natural poison mimicry training ground. It seems that your ancestors moved there in order to inspire you, the younger generations."

"Indeed." Chen Ming nodded and continued.

"Grandpa Dugu, I have a secret about family inheritance, and I don't know if I should tell it. Logically speaking, this kind of thing should not be told to outsiders, for fear of attracting their attention."

"But, you are the first Poison Douluo in the world. Who in Douluo Continent doesn't know your name? It is said that when you became the first Titled Douluo in the Poison Path, all the poison attribute spirit masters in the world were shouting your name. I have also listened to my grandfather telling stories about you since I was a child. So if I tell you this, it is not like telling outsiders, right?"

Chen Ming wanted to use his family's affairs to arouse Dugu Bo's curiosity, so he deliberately praised Dugu Bo highly.

As expected, after hearing Chen Ming's words, Dugu Bo's face immediately turned rosy, and even his back straightened slightly.

"Since you call me grandpa, you are my descendant. I swear by the name of Poison Douluo that I will never reveal even a little bit of this to anyone without your consent!"

Dugu Bo patted his chest and assured Chen Ming.

Although he did not think that a family that did not even have a Soul Sage could have any big secrets, he was a man of his words and would definitely keep this matter to himself and would never reveal it to outsiders.

"The reason why our ancestors are approaching Biluo Gorge is because of a big secret..." Chen Ming slowly told Dugu Bo the story of his family's ancestors. However, when he heard the five words "Bilin Qijue Hua", Dugu Bo, who was originally just smiling, suddenly became wide-eyed, and his fingers almost pulled out several strands of his beard. He only relied on decades of Qi cultivation skills to barely maintain stability.

But when Chen Ming talked about the inheritance of the family martial spirit, Dugu Bo really couldn't hold it together, his eyes almost popped out of his sockets, and he was extremely shocked.

When Chen Ming said that he had absorbed the soul rings of the Green Phosphorus Seven Wonders Flower and the Emerald Scorpion, made up for the deficiencies in his martial soul and made his martial soul evolve, Dugu Bo jumped up excitedly, and put his old face directly on Chen Ming, looking at Chen Ming as if he was looking at some rare treasure.

What Chen Ming said shocked Dugu Bo greatly.

Whether it was the Chen family's Seven Absolutes of Green Phosphorus Flowers, or the martial soul mutation caused by the Chen family's cultivation with the Seven Absolutes of Green Phosphorus Flowers, or the martial soul defects that were later revealed, dozens of generations spent hundreds of years looking for solutions. In the end, Chen Ming, like a mechanical deity, absorbed the soul ring that no one else could absorb to complete his martial soul...

All these things hit the deepest part of Dugu Bo's heart. Every word was deafening to Dugu Bo.

Just after listening to this short narration, Dugu Bo's mind popped up more than a dozen possible ways to alleviate his family's martial spirit problem, and he even had a rough guess on how to completely resolve this problem.

My own martial soul is a deadly poison accumulated due to a defect, so what exactly caused my own martial soul to mutate in the first place?

If I change the goal of my offspring's absorption of spirit rings and try to make up for their innate deficiencies with external forces, can I alleviate or even cure this problem?
If I find a place that is good for poison, and imitate the ancestors of the Chen Ming family to plant poisonous plants and raise green phosphorus snakes, can I make the family's martial spirit mutate as much as possible in the direction I want?
Solve it directly, solve it indirectly, solve it indirectly, and solve it for future generations.
Originally Dugu Bo thought that his family was special, but now after such a case, the knowledge and inspiration that had been dormant in his brain for decades were ignited at this moment.

"You kid are really the lucky star of our family! You are simply a treasure bestowed by the angel god to our Dugu family!" Dugu Bo's expression was excited and his words were a little crazy.

"If Yanyan agrees, you will be my grandson-in-law. If she disagrees, I will take you in as my apprentice."

"Xiao Ming, when you were calming Yanyan's soul power, did you feel a special toxin causing chaos in her body?"

"Yes." At this point, Chen Ming calmed down and answered Dugu Bo's questions in an orderly manner.

"I do feel a special poison... Could it be that I accidentally peeked into the Dugu family's inheritance?"

"What inheritance?" Dugu Bo felt extremely complicated.

Anyone who wants this inheritance can want it, but he, his wife, son and daughter-in-law, granddaughter, and ancestors don't want it.

Dugu Bo gritted his teeth and endured the pain of the backlash, slowly pushing a small portion of the toxin in his body that was like a bone-attaching cancer to the outside.

Dugu Bo had barely suppressed all the toxins a few days ago, and his body was unstable to begin with, and he still felt a dull pain from time to time. After being stimulated so actively, Dugu Bo felt as if there were 100,000 bugs in his body constantly gnawing at his body, and his cheeks were already covered with sweat.

"Xiao Ming, use your soul power to feel it. Is this what you felt that day?"
