Dugu Bo's purpose in capturing Tang San was simple: to test whether Tang San's Eight Spider Spears could absorb the Azure Scale Serpent Venom from his granddaughter Dugu Yan's body. He put his own needs second.

However, if Tang San angered Dugu Bo, the Haotian Douluo who could stand up to the Spirit Hall, he felt that not only would his granddaughter be unable to cure the poison, but he himself might also be "poisoned to death prematurely".

"I only wish to use the poison-devouring properties of your external soul bone to help my granddaughter purify the poison." After realizing that Tang San was someone he couldn't afford to offend, Dugu Bo's expression changed several times before he finally adopted a more gentle tone and spoke to Tang San.

"If Senior Dugu wants my help, he should just say so. Why force me to be taken away like this?" Tang San replied calmly, looking up at Dugu Bo. His dark blue eyes met Dugu Bo's emerald eyes, and they remained silent.

In the end, Tang San did not act too arrogantly in front of Dugu Bo. On the one hand, he did not want to court death, and on the other hand, consuming the poison was beneficial to Tang San's Eight Spider Lances. It could promote the growth of the Eight Spider Lances, making them more poisonous, and could even feed back to Tang San and accelerate his soul power cultivation.

Of course, there is another reason. Poison Douluo Dugu Bo is a very special Title Douluo. He is the "verifier" of a Soul Master's realm. Once this guy goes crazy, large numbers of Soul Masters who have not reached the Title Douluo level will be taken away by this humanoid realm verifier in batches.

Although Tang San hadn't yet realized the terrifying power of Poison Douluo Dugu Bo, his survival instinct told him he couldn't court death in front of a Title Douluo. After all, even if his father avenged him, Tang San himself wouldn't survive.

"..." Dugu Bo's face darkened and his eyes flickered after being rebuked by Tang San, but he did not get angry in the end. Instead, he continued the conversation and said, "I apologize for my previous rude behavior. This thousand-year-old poisonous herb will serve as an apology for my previous rude behavior."

Dugu Bo took out a jade box from his bosom, a hint of heartache flashing in his eyes, but he still used his soul power to hold it and handed it to Tang San, who showed a surprised expression.

Tang San's palm reflected a jade-like light as he steadily caught the jade box. He opened it just a crack, and Tang San's eyes lit up instantly.

This is a rare poisonous herb with the effect of killing someone instantly upon contact with blood. If handled properly, Tang San felt that he might be able to use this poisonous herb to make the Tang Clan's hidden weapon, the Yama's Decree!

Without a doubt, Tang San was tempted. At the same time, he realized that the Poison Douluo Dugu Bo in front of him, as a master of poison, must also possess various rare poisonous herbs!

"Well, if Senior Dugu is willing to offer a sincere reward, then this junior will be happy to assist you in detoxifying Dugu Yan." Tang San calmly put the jade box given to him by Dugu Bo into his Twenty-Four Bridges Under the Bright Moon Soul Guidance Device Space Belt, and then made his request to Dugu Bo.

He had a "Title Douluo father," so he didn't need to appear too weak in front of Dugu Bo, but of course, he couldn't be too presumptuous either. Tang San realized that he was qualified to make a deal with Dugu Bo on equal terms, so he directly stated his request—Dugu Bo's poisonous herbs!

Since Dugu Bo was able to so easily throw out this thousand-year-old poisonous herb as an apology, then there's no doubt that Tang San, even if he were to use his toes... well, how did he pick up that madman Chen Hong's bad habit of thinking with his toes? In short, Tang San believes that Dugu Bo must possess other, even better, poisonous herbs.

As long as Dugu Bo is willing to use his poisonous herbs as payment, Tang San doesn't mind selling himself. That's a bit strange, but Tang San is quite used to this kind of transaction.

He remembered that he had been constantly being transferred from one deal to another with that madman Chen Hong, except that the madman needed abstract knowledge and Tang San hadn't actually lost anything. If you ignored Chen Hong's groping hands behind his back...

"." Dugu Bo frowned, coldly watching Tang Sanxu remain silent for a long time, slightly surprised in his heart.

Dugu Bo was no less skilled in using poisonous herbs; in fact, he was no less skilled in using them.

His secret training ground, the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well in the Sunset Great Forest, contains all sorts of poisonous herbs, as well as other plants that he doesn't recognize but whose aura is very strange.

Because of his cultivation of poison arts, he was able to identify some of the highly poisonous plants within the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well and consume them to aid in his poison arts cultivation. If it weren't for the fact that the Azure Scale Serpent venom in his body had already invaded his bone marrow, causing him to be hesitant to cultivate his soul power, his soul power level would have already continued to rise, allowing him to shed the nickname of "gatekeeper of Title Douluo."

Continuing to increase his soul power means that the toxins in Dugu Bo's body will continue to increase. Once they reach a certain limit and flow into his heart and lungs, even if Dugu Bo is a titled Douluo, he will bleed from all seven orifices and die suddenly.

"Young friend, you have studied poison techniques?" Dugu Bo was both wary and curious.

Tang San frowned, puzzled, but still replied, "I understand some of it, and my own Blue Silver Grass martial soul is imbued with many poison skills. What do you mean, senior?"

Tang San didn't understand why Dugu Bo was asking these questions, but he still answered truthfully, half-concealing, without worrying that Dugu Bo might have any bad intentions.

After all, his father is a Title Douluo!

Tang San: My dad is a Title Douluo! I'm so proud!

"." After hearing Tang San's reply, Dugu Bo's eyes flickered. At this moment, he suddenly didn't want to bring Tang San to his secret training place.

However, Dugu Bo had a glimmer of hope in his heart, wondering if Tang San knew about the mysterious plants in his secret training ground.

Dugu Bo himself tried to collect ancient books to find out what those mysterious plants were, but unsurprisingly, he found nothing.

Moreover, there is a very serious problem: Dugu Bo discovered that he could not use his Title Douluo cultivation to threaten or coerce Tang San.

Haotian Douluo Tang Hao is no ordinary titled Douluo; he is incredibly powerful and also a mad dog. Dugu Bo has absolutely no desire to provoke Tang Hao.

He felt he could understand how important Tang San was to Tang Hao, because if someone hurt his only relative, Dugu Yan, he would really go crazy.

Therefore, after losing the ever-reliable weapon of threat, Dugu Bo looked at Tang San in silence for a long time before finally making his own decision.
