Douluo Continent: Cultivating Qi and Immortals, Insidious to the Extreme

The method of fighting poison with poison was good, but Dugu Bo shook his head with a bitter smile, and the glimmer of hope that had just risen was shattered once again.

"I know this method. For many years I have been using the method of fighting poison with poison to treat Xin'er, but with little effect."

"I just tried using my own Jade Serpent King's venom again, but it didn't work at all."

As he spoke, Dugu Bo staggered and slumped against the wall, tears of pain streaming down his face.

"Xin'er, I'm sorry, it's all Dad's fault..."

Seeing that Dugu Bo was up to his old tricks again, Jiang Xia took a step forward and kicked him twice in the buttocks.

"What are you doing? What are you doing? Playing the role of an incompetent father?"

"Get up! You're so old, all you do is cry over the smallest things."

"What's the use of crying? Will crying solve anything? Besides, it's not even the final moment yet, how can we give up so easily?"

"If the Jade Phosphorus Serpent King Poison doesn't work, then try another one. If that still doesn't work, then try yet another one."

"I refuse to believe it. The world is so big, surely you can find something to save your son?"

"Ask yourself honestly, did you really try your best to find it?"

Jiang Xia gets angry just thinking about this, because there are at least three ways to help Dugu Bo resolve this matter in the original novel alone.

1. Tang San's almost idiotic method of transferring toxins.

Find a soul bone, store the toxins inside it, and release them all at once when the soul bone skill is full.

It can solve the poison problem and enhance the power of the Soul Bone Technique.

Such a simple method, isn't it something anyone with hands could do?

Second, they defected to the Spirit Hall.

The Spirit Hall has a long history, and who knows how many unknown secret techniques and stories it has collected.

Since Bibi Dong was able to solve her own problems, there's no reason why Poison Douluo couldn't solve them by joining her side.

Third, find Yang Wudi, the leader of the Po clan.

The Po clan is a renowned family of alchemists, and they are also knowledgeable in pharmacology and know about rare herbs, so they are very likely to be able to help him solve the problem.

In addition, there is the Blue Silver Emperor's right leg bone, which has extremely strong life attributes; the Living Gold, which contains enormous life force; and the legendary Ancient Tree of Life, among other things.

With so many ways to solve a problem, as long as you try hard, how could there be no solutions at all?

However, the result was so amazing that Dugu Bo searched for his whole life but could not find it. In the end, he still needed Tang San to tell him the most idiotic and stupid method to save himself.

What is this? Is it a case of "blind spots"? Or is it a forced reduction in intelligence?

If it's a case of the eye being blind, then Jiang Xia will light another lamp for him today, so that he can see himself clearly.

If it's a forced reduction in intelligence, then Jiang Xia needs to give him some brain-boosting treatments.

At this moment, Dugu Bo, who had just heard Jiang Xia's angry curses, also rallied, wiped away his tears, and got up from the ground.

"Yes, you're right. It's not the final moment yet, so I can't give up."

"Come on, Xiao Jiang, come with me to a place where there is a poison far more potent than the Jade Phosphorous Serpent King's Venom. Even I am terrified of it."

"I've known about that place for many years, but I've never found a way to utilize it."

"If it were you, I believe you could do it."

Dugu Bo's blind trust gave Jiang Xia a headache.

Of course he knew where Dugu Bo was referring to: the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire.

But what's the use of knowing? He doesn't recognize the herbs there.

Such names as Qirong Tongtianju, Shuixian Yujigu, Qiluo Tulip, and Xiangsi Duanchang Hong were things Jiang Xia had never heard of in the cultivation world in his previous life.

After all, the cultivation world and Douluo Continent are two completely different worlds, and the cultivation world's status is several levels higher than that of Douluo Continent.

Such a renowned herb, yet with such low-level medicinal effects, is truly something that the cultivation world might not be able to cultivate.

Although the herbs are different, their pharmacological properties should be the same.

After all, the Rejuvenation Pill has already been refined. Go check the situation; maybe there's a solution.

Even if that doesn't work, there are many other medicinal herbs in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye, which he is confident can help Dugu Xin hold on for a while longer.

Thinking this, Jiang Xia rubbed his temples.

"In that case, let's go. Bring your son along too. If it's feasible, we can treat him on-site."

"Okay, let's set off now." Nodding, Dugu Bo bent down and picked up Dugu Xin.

The two walked out of the room together. Dugu Yan was standing at the door with red eyes and clear tear stains on her face.

Clearly, she had heard everything that was happening in the room.

Dugu Bo's heart skipped a beat, and he forced a smile.

"Yanyan, don't worry, your father is fine."

"He just needs one simple treatment. Promise Grandpa, you'll stay home obediently after we leave, okay? When we come back, Grandpa promises to give you a healthy father."

"Grandpa, take me with you." Dugu Yan lowered her head, clutching Dugu Bo's clothes tightly.

Dugu Bo took a deep breath, composed himself, and spoke gently, "Yanyan, if you're good, Grandpa promises..."

"Grandpa is lying!!" Dugu Bo was interrupted by Dugu Yan's roar before he could finish speaking.

"I..." Dugu Bo wanted to say something more, but Jiang Xia tugged at his sleeve and shook her head slightly at him.

"Stop talking, take her with you."

"Your son is not just your son, he is also her father, and her worries are no less than yours."

"But..." Dugu Bo wanted to explain, but Jiang Xia waved his hand.

"I understand your concerns, but in life, we all have to go through things to grow faster, whether they are good or bad."

"You're spoiling her a little too much."

"Besides, with me here, your worries won't come true."

Dugu Yan is already ten years old this year, and she is no longer a little girl who doesn't understand anything.

In the original novel, Dugu Yan was already 19 years old when she first appeared, but she still seemed like a little girl who had never experienced anything.

Willful, impulsive, naive, arrogant, willful, and brainless—a typical delinquent girl who hasn't been through the harsh realities of society.

If Dugu Bo continues to pamper her, Dugu Yan is very likely to become like the character in the original novel again.

For Dugu Bo's sake, Jiang Xia did not want Dugu Yan to follow the path in the original story.

Instead of focusing on self-cultivation at such a young age, she's gone off to date.

What a waste of talent.

Although his innate seventh-level soul power aptitude isn't particularly good, with the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye, he should at least be able to reach the strength of a Super Douluo in the future.

I can't let love hold me back like this.

Dugu Bo gritted his teeth, still feeling that Jiang Xia's words made sense, and then relented and agreed.

"Okay, then let's bring her along."

After leaving the valley, head east for about fifty miles to reach the Sunset Forest. Go further into the Sunset Forest for about a hundred miles to reach its core area.

The Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire is located in a valley here.

Because Dugu Xin was critically ill, and there were also two children, Jiang Xia and Dugu Yan, the group did not move very fast.

As the sun set and the moon rose, the four of them finally arrived at their destination as night fell.

What came into view was a cloud of poisonous fog.
