Douluo Continent: Half-level Innate Realm, but a Sword Cultivator with a Heart-Only Mind

After a moment, Dugu Bo took a deep breath and looked at Qi Dao, his voice trembling slightly.

Is this really true?

Qi Dao's expression became more serious, and then he pointed to the Fiery Apricot and the Eight-Cornered Mysterious Ice Grass growing in the center of the Yin Spring and Yang Spring of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye.

"Senior, do you recognize those two herbs?"

Dugu Bo frowned slightly and shook his head.

Although he considered himself the greatest poison expert of his time, he knew almost all the medicinal and poisonous herbs in the world.

However, he didn't recognize most of the medicinal herbs growing in the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, including the two special plants that Qi Dao was pointing at at the moment.

Of course, although he did not recognize the Fiery Apricot and the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass, he knew that both plants were highly poisonous, possessing unparalleled top-tier fire poison and yin poison.

Even with his soul power, he couldn't stay near these two poisonous plants for too long.

(This is from the original novel, which is why the portrayal of Douluo Dalu as a Title Douluo is too weak.)

"Young man, judging from your tone, do you perhaps recognize these two herbs?"

Qi Dao nodded slightly.

"These two herbs are called Fiery Apricot Blossom and Eight-Cornered Ice Grass, respectively. Both are extremely poisonous. Ordinary people who get within ten meters of them will be turned to ashes or frozen in a short time."

"However, these two herbs are yin and yang incompatible. When they are placed together, their medicinal properties will neutralize each other, greatly reducing their toxicity."

"If they are taken at the same time, the two toxins of ice and fire will complement each other, not only transforming the body and making it immune to water and fire, but also having a strong restraining effect on toxins."

Dugu Bo's eyes lit up, and his breathing became much more rapid.

"So, as long as I can take both herbs at the same time, I can eliminate the toxins from my body?"

"That's right, but..."

Before Dugu Bo could even express his surprise, Qi Dao abruptly changed the subject.

"Just what!" Dugu Bo hurriedly asked.

Qi Dao said in a deep voice, "Senior has stayed here for many years, so you should know the toxicity of these two herbs."

"Although taking them together will certainly have a high chance of eliminating the toxins in your body, I'm afraid your poison-based skills will also be neutralized along with them."

In an instant, Dugu Bo's expression changed.

He did want to get rid of the toxins in his body, but he didn't want to eliminate the poisonous energy within him.

After all, he had faced countless enemies. If he lost all his poison skills, what difference would he be from a tiger with its teeth pulled?

When their enemies come knocking, he and his granddaughter will still be unable to escape death.

"Is there no other way?" Dugu Bo pressed.

Qi Dao said in a deep voice, "There is another way."

"What method?"

Qi Dao frankly said, "These two herbs have potent medicinal properties. If you take them directly, they will indeed neutralize your poisonous abilities."

"But if there is a transfer station that can make the properties of these two herbs milder and reduce their dosage, then they will naturally have a therapeutic effect on you."

"At that time, you can transfer the toxins into the soul bone, and you will be all done."

Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo's face lit up with surprise and delight.

The mountains and rivers seemed to block the way, but then a village appeared amidst the willows and flowers.

"only..."

What could serve as a transit point for these two herbs?

Qi Dao laughed frankly, "Of course it's a person!"

"As long as one can consume both herbs simultaneously and withstand the baptism of ice and fire, the blood in the person who consumed both herbs will possess extremely strong resistance to toxicity."

"And this blood is exactly the antidote that you needed, senior."

Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo was initially delighted, but immediately frowned as he noticed the key words in Qi Dao's words.

"Taking both herbs at the same time also requires enduring the so-called baptism of ice and fire."

"What if we can't withstand it?"

"Can't withstand it?" Qi Dao spread his hands and said, "Then just explode and die."

Dugu Bo's excited emotions subsided once again.

This means that he only has one chance to make a mistake.

Dugu Bo said in a deep voice, "Adao, is there no way to withstand the baptism of ice and fire with 100% certainty?"

Qi Dao shook his head and said, "There's no other way but to tough it out."

"This..." Dugu Bo's expression changed several times.

Seeing this, Qi Dao volunteered, "If you trust me, I'm willing to give it a try."

Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo exclaimed in surprise, "Adao, this is no joke! Aren't you afraid of death?"

Qi Dao frankly said, "Of course I'm afraid of dying, but the benefits of absorbing these two herbs are absolutely worth the risk."

Dugu Bo frowned.

It wasn't that he was reluctant to let Qi Dao absorb the two herbs, but if something really happened to Qi Dao here, he was afraid he wouldn't be able to explain it to his granddaughter.

Seeing Dugu Bo's hesitant expression, Qi Dao said in a deep voice, "Senior, you don't need to worry about my safety. Since I dared to speak, I naturally have confidence."

After a long silence, Dugu Bo asked with a serious expression, "Are you really sure?"

Qi Dao affirmed, "I'm sure!"

"Very well, since you have made up your mind, I will naturally not be reluctant to part with these two herbs."

"But you absolutely have to survive, kid, or Yan Yan will be furious with me."

Qi Dao's face was radiant with spirited expression, his eyebrows raised high.

"Don't worry, I value my life very much!"

"I won't give up easily until I achieve my goals!"

Dugu Bo asked curiously, "Target?"

"What is your goal? To become a Title Douluo?"

Qi Dao shook his head and smiled.

"You'll know when I achieve my goal!"

Dugu Bo was taken aback.

So mysterious, could it be that Qi Dao's goal isn't to become a Title Douluo?

With his talent, surely his goals couldn't be lower than those of a Title Douluo?

wrong!!

Dugu Bo suddenly realized what was happening.

Rumor has it that there are even higher-level beings above the Title Douluo.

For example, the one whom the Spirit Hall currently worships!

Could it be...?

Qi Dao's goal wasn't to become a Title Douluo, but rather...

god!!

After figuring it out, Dugu Bo looked at Qi Dao with a complicated expression.

For a moment, he didn't know whether to say that Qi Dao had lofty ambitions or that he was indulging in wishful thinking.
