Triggering a treasure chest in Douluo Continent

Chapter 58 One Step at a Time

"Tell me your thoughts in detail."

Shi Quan said, "Senior, my method is to help Yanzi expel the poison. Because of my Martial Soul mutation, my Soul Power is quite special and has a strong vitality. It is very sensitive to poisons and can suppress some of them. With my assistance, Yanzi doesn't have to worry about the backlash from the poison."

Dugu Bo raised an eyebrow and said calmly, "You're helping her expel the poison? Then why don't I just help Yanyan expel the poison directly?"

"Because you can't help Yanzi expel the poison, the toxins in your body have probably become one with your body over the years. Your soul power should also be tainted with a lot of toxins. Since the two toxins are from the same source, if your soul power enters Yanzi's body to help him expel the poison, I'm worried that you will not only be unable to help, but may even be doing more harm than good."

Dugu Bo's face stiffened. Shi Quan's worries were not unfounded. With a stiff face, he said, "Let me feel your soul power."

As he spoke, Dugu Bo's hand slowly landed on Shi Quan's shoulder.

Shi Quan immediately felt a cold aura invading his body, and the Nine Yin Nine Yang Divine Skill within him automatically started to operate, expelling the cold aura from his body.

"This kid's soul power can really dispel poison?" Dugu Bo was immediately taken aback, thinking to himself, "A mutated martial soul has this kind of ability?"

"It's just a pity that this kid is too weak. If he were stronger, he might be able to help me get rid of the poison too," Dugu Bo sighed inwardly.

He couldn't let more people know about Dugu Yan's poisoning. Shi Quan's soul power had the ability to remove poison, which could indeed be of great help.

Dugu Bo thought for a moment and said, "Shi Quan, you are one of the few people I admire. Not only are you smart, but your skill in martial spirit is also amazing. I, Dugu Bo, always keep my word. I will do what I promised you. I'll leave Yan Yan's matter to you."

As for the method to suppress the toxins, I found a special environment by chance. It possesses extremely hot and cold energy, both incredibly powerful. Not only can it suppress toxins, but an ordinary person would be killed by the extreme heat and cold if they stayed there for even a short time. Even I couldn't stay there for long. I can take you there; it would be best if you could help. If not, then Yan Yan's toxins will have to rely on you.”

"It's done!" Shi Quan was thrilled and quickly agreed, "No problem, senior, don't worry."

Dugu Bo then warned, "I don't want anyone else to know about Yanyan and my poisoning, do you understand?"

Shi Quan nodded earnestly: "Senior, please rest assured, I will definitely not tell anyone."

As for Dugu Bo's own poison, he didn't mention it; Shi Quan had already told him how to resolve it. He'd have to figure out the specifics of how to force the poison out himself.

Shi Quan said he knew nothing about medicine or poisons, and naturally, he wouldn't expect the poison to work on Shi Quan. The fact that Shi Quan had pointed him in this direction was already a pleasant surprise.

Shi Quan himself didn't mention Dugu Bo's solution to the poison, mainly because mentioning it would only cause trouble for himself.

The main issue is whether Dugu Bo will believe him when he says it. Tang San was poisoned by Dugu Bo three times to prove his abilities, but he doesn't have the ability to prove it. So he might as well just focus on Dugu Yan. As long as he can get into the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, that's enough. He can find a reason to steal the immortal herb later and that's it.

After another conversation, the two agreed that further arrangements would be made after Dugu Bo helped Dugu Yan find a suitable soul bone.

"Grandpa, are you done talking?"

Outside the door, Dugu Yan saw the two people coming out of the room and immediately went to greet them. She threw herself into Dugu Bo's arms with a resentful look and said, "I thought you had forgotten about me."

"How could that be?" Dugu Bo hugged Dugu Yan affectionately.

"Senior, Yanzi, I won't disturb you any longer. I'll head back to the academy now."

Shi Quan naturally didn't want to watch the grandfather and grandson get together.

He bid farewell to the two of them.

He returned to the college alone.

The matter of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well is almost settled. As long as Dugu Bo helps Dugu Yan find a suitable soul bone, he can enter the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

Once you reach the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, everything else will be much easier.

Overall, everything went relatively smoothly.

The next morning, as soon as Shi Quan arrived at his dormitory, Dugu Yan immediately approached him and began asking him about the discussions he had made with Dugu Bo the previous day.

It seems that Dugu Bo has not yet told her about the poisoning, and Shi Quan is naturally playing coy and keeping the matter a secret.

Dugu Yan was furious, but she couldn't do anything about it since Shi Quan was sticking his tongue out.

All he could do was boast that he wanted to have a match with Shi Quan.

After the battle.

Shi Quan's ability to resist all poisons then became apparent.

Both the Nine Yin Nine Yang Divine Skill and the Yi Jin Xi Sui have the effect of making one immune to all poisons. With the two combined, even though Dugu Yan's level is more than ten levels higher than Shi Quan's, the poisons still cannot affect her.

Everyone has a new understanding of Shi Quan's strength.

Time passed day by day.

Under Shi Quan's comprehensive training methods, in just three months, the strength of everyone in the Tian Dou team has significantly improved, with each person's soul power increasing by one level, and there have been obvious changes in their respective training areas.

……

On the training field, everyone was training as usual.

"Yan Yan".

"Grandpa, what brings you here!"

Upon hearing Dugu Bo's familiar voice, Dugu Yan immediately turned around with delight and ran towards Dugu Bo's emerald green figure.

Upon sensing Dugu Bo's eerie green gaze, Yu Tianheng, standing beside Dugu Yan, shrank back slightly but still stepped forward respectfully and said, "Junior greets Senior."

Given Dugu Bo's status as a Title Douluo, the others quickly bowed in respect.

Dugu Bo didn't bother with Yu Tianheng at all. He just glanced at him indifferently, picked up Dugu Yan, and then looked at Shi Quan. "Xiao Quan, the things are ready. Come with me."

"No problem, senior." Shi Quan's eyes lit up. Three months. He had been waiting for three months.

The flowers had almost withered from waiting, but thankfully Dugu Bo finally arrived.

"Follow me." Dugu Bo nodded, tapped his toes, and his figure rushed into the distance like a phantom.

"Go quickly." Qin Ming said hurriedly when he saw Shi Quan turn around to look at him. He dared not delay Shi Quan, who was a titled Douluo.

Shi Quan quickly followed, but Dugu Bo deliberately controlled his speed; otherwise, how could Shi Quan possibly keep up with Dugu Bo given his strength?

"Grandpa, what are you talking about?" Dugu Yan was also puzzled as she was suddenly taken away by Dugu Bo.

"Grandpa has prepared a treasure for you. You'll find out when you get there," Dugu Bo said mysteriously.

"You're too slow. Let me take you." As soon as they stepped out of the academy gate, Dugu Bo, with one arm around Dugu Yan, grabbed Shi Quan by the back of his collar with the other, like an eagle snatching a chick, and took off in an instant.

A cool breeze suddenly swept across my face, my clothes fluttered, and my hair danced in the air.

Wuhu, take off.

As everything around him flashed by, Shi Quan quickly noticed that Dugu Bo did not seem to be heading towards Tiandou City.

"This direction is... Sunset Forest?" Shi Quan's eyes lit up.

He originally thought he would have to wait, but now Dugu Bo is preparing to do it all at once.

Shi Quan could see the vast forest gradually expanding in the distance.

"Grandpa, what treasures could there be in Sunset Forest? Isn't it teeming with spirit beasts?"

"You'll know when we get there," Dugu Bo said, still keeping everyone in suspense.

As soon as they entered the forest, Dugu Bo's powerful aura spread out. Apart from the rapidly moving scenery around them making them a little dizzy, nothing else happened along the way.

We traveled at a brisk pace.

Soon, led by Dugu Bo, the three of them arrived at a cave halfway up a 500-meter hill and stopped.

Led by Dugu Bo, they entered the cave, and after a short while, the cave suddenly opened up into a bright and spacious area.

Stone benches and chairs, and a number of medicine bottles on one side of the cave, all of which appear to be poisons.

"Grandpa, is this your secret base?" Dugu Yan looked around curiously.

"More or less." As he spoke, Dugu Bo swept his arm across his waist, and a soul bone emitting a bright green light appeared in his hand.

The soul bone was emerald green all over, with its bones curled up into a ball and four pairs of ribs intersecting, but it could still be roughly seen that it was a torso bone.

"Yanyan, this is a treasure that Grandpa gave you." Dugu Bo handed the soul bone in his hand to Dugu Yan.

"Grandpa, what's this?" Dugu Yan took the soul bone from Dugu Bo's hand, clearly stunned for a moment before reacting, and said excitedly, "Grandpa, this is a soul bone?"

"That's right." Dugu Bo nodded and said kindly, "This is a piece of the skeleton of a five-thousand-year-old Azure Scale Serpent."

"It's a Jade Scale Serpent? No wonder it feels so familiar." Dugu Yan trembled with excitement and suddenly hugged Dugu Bo and kissed him hard.

"The Azure Serpent? No wonder."

Shi Quan couldn't help but sigh inwardly at how good Dugu Bo was to Dugu Yan. During the discussion, Shi Quan had only mentioned that it would be best to use the soul bone of a poisonous soul beast, as it would be more compatible with Dugu Yan.

As a result, Dugu Bo managed to find a soul bone from a martial soul beast for Dugu Yan, and it was the most precious torso bone at that.

Three months... to find this piece of Azure Serpent Soul Bone. In these three months, countless Azure Serpents have died at Dugu Bo's hands.

"After this, the number of poison-attribute soul beasts in Sunset Forest must have decreased significantly, right?"

As Shi Quan thought to himself, Dugu Bo had already begun urging Dugu Yan to absorb the soul bone. "Yan Yan, attach the soul bone to the corresponding part, and you can absorb it. This soul bone corresponds to your martial soul, and absorbing it will definitely be of great use to you."

Following Dugu Bo's instructions, Dugu Yan immediately sat cross-legged and then pressed the torso of the Azure Scale Serpent against her chest.

The emerald green soul bone immediately transformed into a streak of emerald light and merged into Dugu Yan's body...
