Douluo: Emerald Poison King

Chapter 62: Gu and Medicine Man
Chen Ming stretched out his hand and placed it on Dugu Bo's pulse point, carefully testing it with his soul power and mental power. Feeling that special and strange power, Chen Ming's expression suddenly changed.

"It is indeed this power, but the poison in your body is many times stronger than that in Dugu Yan's body."

"How do you feel?" Dugu Bo resisted the urge to scream in pain and reluctantly sat back on the chair. His legs, covered by his wide robe, had begun to tremble like a sieve. His hands, gathered in his sleeves, were clenched into fists.

"Senior's poison skills are as amazing as nature. Just by observing it for a while, I can sense the possibility of a new poison. You are worthy of being the world-famous Poison Douluo, and worthy of being the famous Green Phosphorus Snake."

Although Chen Ming said this with a bit of hypocrisy, there was indeed some admiration in it.

After this observation, he indeed discovered something quite extraordinary inside Dugu Bo's body.

"This is not some kind of poisonous skill..." Dugu Bo's face was as pale as paper, and he couldn't help but reveal a bitter smile when he heard this.

"This toxin of yours is the poison of your body. It is based on the venom of the Bilin snake and is fused with toxins from several different poisons. You use your body as a furnace to mix these originally different toxins into one, creating this domineering and special toxin."

"This poison contains life force and soul power. Although it is different from the path of combining my soul power and mental power, it is also a very powerful path."

"The body's innate poison combined with soul power and life force is no longer just a toxin, but has reached a special power that is difficult to understand."

"I can combine toxins and soul power, but I can't combine soul power and life force yet. I have never thought of combining toxins, soul power, and life force to create this overbearing poison that is like life."

"Although I have never seen other Titled Douluo, the power of your innate poison is definitely unimaginably strong. Even if a Titled Douluo with a higher soul power level than you is invaded by this innate poison, he will definitely die."

Although Chen Ming knew that Dugu Bo did not want to have this poison, he did not hesitate to praise it. In his opinion, Dugu Bo's poison, which had troubled him for decades by accident, could indeed be called unparalleled in the world.

This poison had been accumulated in Dugu Bo's body for who knows how many years, absorbing a lot of Dugu Bo's soul, life force, and mental strength. Not only was it connected to Dugu Bo's own life, it also had a life and spirituality that normal poisons should not have, and its quality was really unimaginable.

If you think about it carefully, isn't Dugu Bo's current condition similar to the poisonous insects and medicine men in fantasy novels?

The Green Phosphorus Snake is the King of Gu. It uses the soul master's body as a Gu bowl to raise the Gu. It takes advantage of the soul master's opportunity to absorb soul rings to devour the essence of other poisonous soul beasts to strengthen itself.

As the Dugu family reproduced from generation to generation, their physiques were gradually transformed, and their martial spirits also mutated to be closer to Gu characteristics. All those who were not suitable for this path died early, and everyone who remained was carefully selected as a good material.

If there were no such things as Gu cultivators in this world, Chen Ming would probably have thought that Dugu Bo's family was a consumable material deliberately cultivated by some evil cultivator.

Dozens of generations of reproduction transformed Dugu Bo's physique. Decades of cultivation and the absorption of nine soul rings created an unimaginable Gu King.

Every torture during these decades means that the Gu King in the body has become more powerful.

As a Gu master and a carrier of Gu, Dugu Bo's life is closely connected with the Gu King. However, due to lack of methods to use it, he is unable to truly mobilize this power and has suffered decades of torture in vain.

Although it should be said that after torturing him for decades, this Gu King, which was dominated by the Green Phosphorus Snake, had already reached its peak, and its power was so strong that it was shocking. However, because he did not know how to control it, this power could not only take his life at any time, but also blocked his way to further progress.

As Chen Ming expected, once this poison erupted, the degree of damage it caused would far exceed that of the ten thousand year old Green Phosphorus Seven Wonders Flower by several levels. Even if the Green Phosphorus Seven Wonders Flower had grown to a hundred thousand years old, it should be somewhat inferior in toxicity and far inferior in quality.

Dugu Bo originally just said it casually, but after hearing what Chen Ming said, his whole brain seemed to be hit by a hammer, and his mind went blank. "Use yourself as a furnace, use the green phosphorus snake as a foundation, absorb toxins, and raise the poison king..."

As he muttered these words, he recalled his performance when he broke through to the Title Douluo level in that treasure land where extreme cold and extreme heat meet. He also figured out why that treasure land could restrain the toxins in his body.

"Why does the toxin in my body change every time I absorb a spirit ring? Why is my son's toxin different from mine? Why can that treasure land allow me to break through to the Titled Douluo?"

"It turns out that the thousand-year history of my Green Phosphorus Snake lineage is actually like this. It turns out that the problem that has troubled my ancestors for countless generations is actually such a simple truth that anyone who has learned poison techniques can understand it."

"Hahahahaha!"

"Hahahaha!"

"Hahaha!"

"So that's how it is, so that's how it is, I understand! I understand! I understand!"

Dugu Bo laughed wildly, his mouth stretched wide, as if it was about to split open. His originally emerald green eyes were now bloodshot.

A good person turned into a person who is in the state of meditation.

He was out of control and didn't even suppress his soul power. He let the poison corrode his body and released his soul power indiscriminately around him like a madman. Even the basement made of unknown materials began to crack under this pressure.

Chen Ming never thought that there might be a problem in this link, but in order to save his life from Dugu Bo's out-of-control soul power, Chen Ming took out the dragon pill from the storage soul guide at the fastest speed in his life and linked his life with the dragon pill to avoid being killed instantly by unknown aoe.

As the ceiling of the basement cracked, various things that were originally visible around were blown to every corner of the house by the storm caused by soul power. The originally crazy Dugu Bo finally realized that there was a benefactor of his in the room, so he quickly stopped his soul power.

It didn't matter if he didn't stop, but once he stopped, something terrible happened. Dugu Bo didn't come out of retreat in perfect condition. Although the toxins in his body were suppressed, he definitely didn't enter a stable state.

Having just actively triggered the toxins in his body, and then allowing the toxins to corrode his body in a state of madness, Dugu Bo himself has simply fallen into a state of severe toxic backlash.

As soon as he stopped using his soul power and recovered from his madness, he was directly attacked by pain and curled up on the ground.

Extreme sadness and joy were something Dugu Bo was very afraid of, because losing control of his emotions would cause the already unstable toxins in his body to get out of control even further. In such a sudden incident, Dugu Bo almost lost half his life.

At this time Chen Ming was really anxious, he was about to touch the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire, but Dugu Bo was about to die because of a few words from him. No one could accept this.

Chen Ming gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, adjusted Dugu Bo into a cross-legged position, then sat cross-legged behind Dugu Bo, placed the Dragon Pill close to his dantian, stretched out his hands forward, and slowly injected his soul power and mental power into Dugu Bo's body.

This was a dangerous three-line operation. On the one hand, Chen Ming had to use the soul power from the dragon pill to exchange for vitality to maintain Dugu Bo's condition, on the other hand, Chen Ming had to stabilize Dugu Bo's vitality and soul power as much as possible. The most important problem was that Chen Ming had to suppress the old poison in Dugu Bo's body that had already gone out of control as much as possible.
