Douluo Continent: Breaking Through the Clouds, the Qilin Marches!

Stop!

Dugu Bo's eyelids twitched violently, and his heart suddenly clenched.

He had no idea that these plants were called "immortal herbs," and he couldn't even name most of them. But he knew that this strange medicinal garden was his only way to suppress the toxins.

If this place is destroyed, he definitely won't live more than two years!

Forcibly suppressing the backlash of his ninth soul skill caused Dugu Bo to groan again, a trickle of black blood spilling from the corner of his mouth. He stared intently at Yang Wudi, who looked as if he were about to self-destruct at any moment, gritting his teeth:

"Madmen! The entire Broken Clan is a bunch of fucking madmen who don't care about their lives!"

The oppressive force finally subsided.

Seeing that Dugu Bo had restrained his murderous intent, Yang Yuntian knew that the time to apply pressure had come, and continuing to confront him head-on would only backfire.

Yang Yuntian quietly tugged at Yang Wudi's sleeve.

Yang Wudi understood immediately, dissipated the intense fluctuations of soul power within his body, pulled the Soul-Breaking Spear from the rock, but still stood with the spear in hand, remaining vigilant.

Then, under Dugu Bo's surprised and uncertain gaze, Yang Yuntian clasped his hands and respectfully bowed.

"Junior Yang Yuntian greets Senior Poison Douluo."

"The incident happened suddenly. My grandfather was so eager to protect his grandson that he said some offensive things. I hope that you, as a titled Douluo, will forgive our recklessness."

Yang Wudi, perfectly at ease, slung his spear behind his back and gave a slight bow.

"Brother Dugu, I am a rough man. I resorted to this desperate measure to save my life. I apologize for any offense I may have caused."

The address of "senior" and "brother Dugu" instantly brought him back to the realm of martial arts etiquette. Dugu Bo's expression softened slightly, and he gave a cold snort. Although he was still wary, he had managed to preserve his prestige as a titled Douluo.

"Don't flatter me." Dugu Bo stood with his hands behind his back, staring coldly at Yang Yuntian.

"Little brat, who exactly are you? How do you know about the backlash I'm suffering from?"

Yang Yuntian straightened up and pointed to the plants around him that were emitting a strange glow.

"Senior, to be honest, the rare and exotic plants in your garden may be seen as rare poisons or tonics by ordinary people, but in fact they have a real name - celestial herbs."

"A divine herb?" Dugu Bo frowned; this was the first time he had ever heard of such a term.

"Indeed, these immortal herbs are a marvel of nature, capable of not only bringing the dead back to life and healing the wounded, but also cleansing the marrow and transforming the body."

"Although you don't recognize them, senior, relying on your instincts as a Title Douluo to use the aura emitted by the immortal herbs to suppress the Azure Phosphorus Serpent venom within your body is indeed a last resort."

"But..." Yang Yuntian changed the subject.

"This self-destructive approach won't save you, much less your granddaughter who has inherited the venom of the Blue Phosphorus Snake."

Upon hearing the word "granddaughter," a flicker of panic crossed Dugu Bo's eyes: "You even know about Yanyan?"

"Since I dare to stand here, I naturally have some confidence." Yang Yuntian met Dugu Bo's gaze and revealed his ultimate goal.

"Senior, the Spirit Hall cannot accommodate us. We need a safe haven. And you need someone to refine these immortal herbs that you guard but do not know how to use into an antidote that can completely eradicate the backlash from your and your granddaughter's vital points."

"In this world, apart from my grandfather, the greatest alchemist in the land, no one can perfectly bring out the medicinal effects of these immortal herbs. This is a fair trade. Senior Poison Douluo, what do you say?"

"The business is indeed tempting." Dugu Bo crossed his arms.

"But if you want my protection, first tell me the method to detoxify. Then we can share this medicinal garden. But if you dare to spout nonsense, I'll risk all these flowers and plants to make sure you and your grandson die a horrible death!"

Faced with this threat, Yang Yuntian took a slight step back, handing the initiative to Yang Wudi beside him. In the field of pharmacology, the patriarch of the Breaking Clan held absolute authority.

"You old poison master, do you think treating illness and detoxification is like buying cabbage on the street?" Yang Wudi sneered.

"I haven't even examined all the medicinal herbs growing in your garden, so how can I make a judgment?"

Dugu Bo was momentarily speechless, but ultimately turned away with a cold expression.

Yang Wudi stepped into the core area of ​​the herb garden, his gaze sweeping across it. Soon, the breathing of this renowned alchemy master on the continent became rapid.

"Fragrant and exquisite immortal herbs... Eight-cornered mysterious ice grass... Fiery apricot blossoms..." Yang Wudi murmured to himself.

His hands trembled slightly with excitement.

Suddenly, his gaze fell upon a strange herb growing near the edge of Yangquan Spring. It was blood red and its leaves spread out like dragon scales.

A faint, deep dragon's roar echoed around the herb.

"This is... the legendary Dragon Blood Grass, which can only grow when a true dragon falls and is bathed in pure dragon blood?"

Yang Wudi turned his head and looked at Dugu Bo as if he were looking at a spendthrift son.

"You old poisoner, guarding such a treasure trove, you almost poisoned yourself and your granddaughter to death? It's utterly ridiculous!"

Being verbally abused to his face, Dugu Bo's face turned ashen, but in order to cure the poison, he could only suppress his anger.

"Enough talk, now that you've read it, tell me the solution!"

Half an hour later, Yang Wudi finally understood the situation of the entire herb garden. He took a deep breath, turned to look at Dugu Bo, and held up three fingers.

"I can cure your poison! I have three methods—superior, medium, and inferior—for you to choose from!"

"The first option is the worst possible solution," Yang Wudi said, pointing to the pink flower in the distance.

"That immortal herb is called the Fragrant Silk Immortal Herb, which is the nemesis of all poisons. I can use it as medicine, combined with several other herbs that strengthen the body and nourish the vital energy, to refine it into a poison-resolving pill."

After taking it, the venom of the Azure Phosphorus Snake in your body will be completely neutralized within a day, and you will be immune to all poisons from now on.

"Okay!" Dugu Bo blurted out, but Yang Wudi's next sentence was like a bucket of cold water poured over his whole body.

"However, your poison skills are inherent to your martial soul. Once the poison is gone, most of your titled Douluo-level poison skills will be wasted."

While it might save one's life, it would prevent any improvement in strength for the rest of their life, and might even cause them to fall below the level of a Title Douluo.

"Bullshit!" Dugu Bo roared in fury.

"In the world of Soul Masters, being powerless is worse than death! If I become a cripple, my enemies will skin me alive! This won't do, move on to the next one!"

"The second option, the middle course." Yang Wudi had anticipated this reaction.

"This method does not require dissolving your poisonous abilities, but rather drawing the poison into your bones. I can prescribe a medicine to clear your meridians, which, combined with your soul power, will force all the deadly poison accumulated in your meridians and internal organs into your soul bones for storage."

Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo's eyes lit up.

Using a soul bone as a container to prevent the toxins from entering the internal organs—this is indeed a brilliant idea! He himself possesses a ten-thousand-year-old Medusa skull, which can completely contain these toxins.

"This method is excellent! It not only relieves the pain of the backlash, but also doesn't damage the poison technique." Dugu Bo nodded repeatedly, finally feeling a sense of awe for Yang Wudi's alchemy skills.

However, Yang Wudi sneered:

"This method is good, but it only treats the symptoms, not the root cause. You have a soul bone that can withstand the poison, but what about your granddaughter? Are you going to find her a high-grade soul bone to match her?"

Even if we find it, what if she gains strength in the future and the poison overflows her soul bone again? Are we supposed to find another one? The flaw in your family bloodline hasn't been completely resolved at all.”

Dugu Bo felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave. Yes, Yan Yan didn't have a soul bone, and even if she did, this patching-up method could never break the fate of the Azure Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul, which was destined to have short lifespans generation after generation.

"Then... what's the best course of action?" Dugu Bo's voice was slightly hoarse.

"This best strategy, the utmost sincerity from my grandfather and me, is to combine immortal herbs to promote the evolution of your martial soul!"

"Martial Soul Evolution?" Dugu Bo was stunned.

"Not bad! You old poisoner, although you've cultivated to the level of a Title Douluo and your martial soul is the top-tier Azure Phosphorous Serpent Emperor, a serpent is still a serpent! A serpent's body cannot withstand your deadly venom!"

Yang Wudi pointed to the blood-red immortal herb, "I will use that Dragon Blood Grass as a medicinal guide, along with other medicines, to tailor-make a pill for you and your granddaughter!"
