Douluo: The blue phoenix cries loudly, and the wind whistles through the air

Chapter 68 The Young Old Doctor

Dugu Bo's expression remained unchanged as he said leisurely, "Why, you came to see you because I didn't take a shower?"

Wu Qi thought to himself: Don’t you know how smelly you are?
This stench was even worse than the pesticides he had experienced in his previous life. Especially at close range, the smell was simply suffocating.

"You've been poisoned." Wu Qi said.

Dugu Bo was horrified, but he pretended to be calm, "I have been playing with poisons all my life, how could I be poisoned?"

"Don't think that just because I'm being polite to you, you can joke around like that, humph!"

Wu Qi was still thinking about how to make Dugu Bo believe him, and this smell just gave him inspiration.

"I once followed the coroner and examined the body of a poisoned person."

"The stench that spontaneously emanated from the deceased was very similar to that of the previous individual. The blood in his body was especially foul."

"If you don't believe me, you can rub your finger, let out some blood and smell it."

Wu Qi said, "Senior, you possess the strength of a Titled Douluo, so you may not feel the effects of the poison. However, if this continues for a long time, as the poison continues to corrode your meridians, problems will inevitably arise."

"Even if you are called the Master of Poison, it is impossible for you to know every kind of poison. It is better to be cautious."

Dugu Bo himself doesn’t know whether he is poisoned or not!
But what can he do?

The Dugu family has been searching for an antidote for generations, but they still cannot cure the poison of Wuhun, so the family has declined to the point where only the grandfather and grandson are dependent on each other.

"Can this guy really detoxify me, or can he just tell that I'm poisoned?"

He had to give it a try anyway.

If the poison can be truly detoxified, the problem that has plagued the Dugu family for generations may be solved.

In the future, the family will surely prosper.

"Oh? Then tell me, how do you cure this poison?"

Wu Qi pretended to be serious, "Senior, would you let me take your pulse?"

How could he understand pulse diagnosis? He was just acting to gain Dugu Bo's trust.

Dugu Bo said nothing more and put his arms on the table in front of him.

Wu Qi stepped forward, recalling the technique of the old Chinese doctor in his previous life, and placed his hand on the other person's wrist.

Dugu Bo frowned, pulled Wu Qi's finger, and placed it on the correct pulse position, "Boy, do you understand pulse diagnosis? If you try to deceive me, humph."

Wu Qi glanced at him. "Why are you so anxious? I don't take people's pulses every day. It's normal for me to miss the pulse occasionally. But don't worry, I have a deep understanding of pulse patterns. I can tell what poison you've been poisoned by with just one finger!"

Dugu Bo was skeptical, but in order to detoxify, he controlled his temper for the time being.

Wu Qi's expression was uncertain. Every time he wanted to speak, he hesitated, and kept frowning, looking like an old miracle doctor.

Dugu Bo gradually became impatient and could not help asking, "Boy, what on earth did you see?"

Wu Qi ignored it and continued to pay close attention to the pulse.

After a while, Dugu Bo could no longer bear it, so he pulled back his arm and put on a posture of asking for punishment.

Wu Qi pondered for a moment and said, "This poison didn't enter from the outside, but originated from within."

Dugu Bo was horrified. Before he could ask, Wu Qi continued, "Martial Soul is the foundation of a person. Your granddaughter Dugu Yan is unable to control the poisonous mist she releases. This is most likely not due to her own fault, but to her Martial Soul."

"After checking Senior's pulse, I finally understand the problem." "Although humans and spirits have a symbiotic relationship, that doesn't mean the spirit will necessarily 'protect' the spirit master. The Jade Phosphorus Snake spirit may be an exception. The spirit's own poisonous mist will eat away at the spirit master's body."

"Senior, if you don't get treatment, you and your grandson will die soon. Senior is a Titled Douluo, so you may be able to suppress the poison, but Dugu Yan can't. She..."

Without giving him a chance to continue, Dugu Bo immediately turned hostile and said, "Boy, don't exaggerate."

The poison of the martial soul harms itself, which is the biggest secret of the Dugu family.

If outsiders knew about this, the family would suffer a devastating disaster.

Seeing that Wu Qi's talent and intelligence were different from ordinary people, he adjusted his attitude to talk to him. If the other party leaked this matter casually, he would not be able to stay.

It is still beneficial to read more. At least when you are fooling people, it is not easy for others to see the clues.

Wu Qi smiled slightly and continued, "Don't worry, senior. Let's dig into the underlying logic of the poisoning."

"There is an essential difference between weapon soul masters and beast soul masters. The beast spirit is connected to the soul master's body. When the spirit is used, it will merge with the spirit. This theory can be proven after the soul master obtains the seventh soul skill."

"For a beast soul master, if their martial soul is shattered, they will die. On the other hand, for an instrument soul master, their martial soul fights outside their body. Even if their martial soul is shattered, the soul master themselves will only suffer serious injuries and will not be in danger of death."

With a God's perspective, Wu Qi knew that when Yu Xiaogang was helping Tang San hunt for his first soul ring, Luo Sanpao was bitten by a mandragora snake. Because of the relationship between the soul master and the martial soul, the poison affected Yu Xiaogang himself.

Combined with the information Wu Qi saw in the Spirit Hall, this theory seemed to be further supported.

Dugu Bo said in a deep voice: "What do you want to say!"

It can be seen that the other party has a solid foundation in soul master theory.

Perhaps, this is the Dugu family's only hope for revival.

Wu Qi added, "What I mean is that the beast spirit is too closely connected to the spirit master's body. And the Jade Phosphorus Snake is the best among its kind. If the toxins it cultivates overflow, it will harm the spirit master."

"Let me give you a counterexample. I know a genius whose martial soul is a plant-type martial soul. In spirit master theory, it is classified as a weapon martial soul. However, his first two spirit rings were both extremely poisonous, but he himself was not affected by the toxin."

"The nature of martial spirits is different, and the way they manifest is also different. Senior, since you haven't used your martial spirit for a long time, do you feel that the toxin invasion is not as serious?"

Dugu Bo widened his eyes!
The reason why he didn't want to meddle in other people's business was because without using his martial spirit to fight, the toxin wouldn't have such a serious impact on him.

He just discovered this pattern, but did not understand the underlying logic.

After hearing what Wu Qi said, he suddenly understood, "Then tell me, how can I detoxify you?"

After he finished speaking, he realized that something was wrong and quickly changed his words, "I was almost tricked by you, how could I be poisoned?"

Wu Qi rolled his eyes at him. "Just deceive outsiders. In the eyes of those who know the business, there's no need for you to hide it. Don't you want to detoxify?"

Dugu Bo simply stopped trying to hide it and went all out. "Then tell me, how do I detoxify you? You know such a big secret. If you can't detoxify me, you know the consequences!"

Wu Qi smiled in his heart.

The other party was desperate and tried every possible means to seek help, and completely jumped into the pit he dug.

"The Green Phosphorus Snake is Yin, while tiger-type soul beasts are pure Yang. Soaking tiger bones in wine can alleviate the symptoms."

Dugu Bo is a very accomplished doctor. How could he not know about this?

But this can only relieve the pain during the attack and cannot solve the root cause.
