"If you eat this, it will effectively increase your soul power cultivation speed; it's a treasure!"

Dugu Bo dared not lose his temper with Dugu Yan, so he could only take it out on Qin Qifa.

"You old poisoner, you're really senile. The solution to your own illness is right in front of you, but you can't see it."

Qin Qi laughed and spoke.

Chapter 67 Where poisonous snakes roam, there is always an antidote within seven steps!

"You're really audacious, daring to insult me ​​again. You think I'm afraid of you just because Yan Yan is backing you up!"

"Do you believe I'll secretly find an opportunity to poison you and kill you?"

Dugu Bo looked at Qin Qi and said with great displeasure.

"Grandpa, please don't do this. Qin Qi is here to help us. It's so rude of you to be like this."

Dugu Yan spoke somewhat unhappily.

"Yan Yan..."

Dugu Bo looked at Qin Qi, his eyes suddenly becoming even more hostile. Before anything had even happened, his granddaughter had already started to side with outsiders.

If something really happens, she'll find a husband and forget about her grandfather!

"I'm not insulting you, I'm just telling the truth."

"You're supposed to be a master of poisons, how could you forget that old saying: 'Where there are poisonous snakes, there's always an antidote within seven steps.'"

"Animals will spontaneously seek ways to survive, and the Jade Serpent King is no exception."

Qin Qi spoke up.

"There must be an antidote within seven steps... Are you saying that this pill of mine is the antidote?"

Dugu Bo looked at Qin Qi and realized that the pill pearl he had created after his Azure Serpent ascended to the Azure Serpent Emperor was extraordinary!

"You said before that this was formed from half of your power, and that it could assist in the cultivation of soul power."

"Think about it carefully. Assisting in the cultivation of soul power means being able to spontaneously absorb energy."

"What would happen if you absorbed the remaining half of your power?"

Looking at Dugu Bo, Qin Qi suddenly realized something: how the genius from the Tang Clan who researched Qi poison died.

Without guidance, you have to figure things out on your own, and you can't discover problems until they occur.

If something goes wrong, you'll be poisoned to death, and it will be too late to fix it.

"I see, I see! The solution lies within me!"

"I can't believe I didn't notice all these years, I'm really... I'm getting senile."

Dugu Bo laughed and cried at the same time. He laughed because he had finally found a solution, and he cried because he hadn't thought of it sooner.

If I had thought of that sooner, my son wouldn't have died, and my granddaughter wouldn't have had to suffer like this.

"grandfather……"

Dugu Yan wanted to comfort Dugu Bo, but Qin Qi stopped her as soon as she opened her mouth.

"Stop trying to persuade him. Let your grandfather make a scene. He's been holding it in for too long and needs to let it out."

"Otherwise, sooner or later, those accumulated emotions will drive him crazy."

"And your grandfather was truly a genius, a genius who single-handedly elevated the Azure Serpent martial soul to a level that no one had ever reached before."

Qin Qi increasingly understood the true value of the saying, "The strongest point is also the weakest point."

Dugu Bo is a genius, but that's precisely why he suffered. If he hadn't made it this far...

If someone had reached this point before him, if someone had figured out the correct cultivation method for the Azure Serpent King earlier.

Then Dugu Bo wouldn't have had to suffer like that, but unfortunately there are no "what ifs" in this world.

"My grandfather is very powerful!"

Dugu Yan held Qin Qi's hand. She was very worried about her grandfather, but she chose to listen to Qin Qi's opinion.

This allowed Dugu Bo to release his pent-up emotions.

After a long while, Dugu Bo calmed down again and began to discuss the specific process of condensing the poison pill with Qin Qi.

The two continued talking until evening before stopping.

"Well, it's getting late, I should go home now."

Qin Qi glanced at the sky and then spoke.

"Well, I've learned pretty much everything I need to know. I'll give it a try tonight."

Dugu Bo nodded. He roughly understood how to do it, and now all that was left was to put it into practice.

"Be careful when you try it. Don't rush things. Take it slowly and do it little by little."

Qin Qi stared at Dugu Bo, and after he finished speaking, he didn't leave, just kept looking at Dugu Bo.

Why are you looking at me?

Dugu Bo frowned and spoke.

"I've told you all the methods, are you going to give me a deposit now?"

Qin Qi spoke up.

"Okay, how much do you want?"

Dugu Bo was equally decisive; Qin Qi's words today had truly enlightened him.

Paying a little compensation for this is nothing.

"I won't ask for money this time, I want that nine-section jade pendant you have."

Qin Qi stared at the small, emerald-green, nine-sectioned jade pendant wrapped around Dugu Bo's little finger.

This creature is a type of bamboo viper, but it is more venomous than the common bamboo viper!

Legend has it that a single drop of the venom from the Nine-Section Jadeite is enough to annihilate a city!

"You want my little Cui? No way! I've watched it grow up since it was a baby, it's my precious treasure!"

Dugu Bo immediately reached out to protect the nine-section jade, looking very reluctant to part with it.

"Besides, Xiao Cui is highly poisonous. You could easily be poisoned to death if you're not careful. Choose something else."

"How about I give you some precious medicinal herbs to aid your cultivation?"

Dugu Bo spoke up.

"Lend it to me for two days, and I'll return it to you when I'm done playing with it."

"As for the poisoning, you don't need to worry. If I die from it, it's my own fault."

Qin Qi really wanted the Nine-Section Jadeite and the finest Bamboo Leaf Green, as its toxins were excellent for refining Qi Poison.

The nine sections of jadeite have a very perfect body structure, which he finds very tempting.

"Grandpa, you already promised them, it wouldn't be good to go back on your word now."

Dugu Yan spoke up from the side.

"Going back on my word? I, Dugu Bo, am a man of my word, and I never go back on my word."

"You can play with it for a few days and then give it back to me. Also, you have to take good care of Xiao Cui. It likes to eat... so remember to feed it."

Dugu Bo reluctantly handed the nine-section jade to Qin Qi, and after finishing, he kept reminding him of the precautions.

"Don't worry, don't worry, I'll take good care of it."

"Also, could you give me some of your Jade Serpent King Poison? I want to study it."

Qin Qi covered his palm with a poisonous barrier, then grabbed the nine-section jade. The little snake became docile the moment it was caught.

"Be gentle, don't hurt my little Cui."

Dugu Bo felt a pang of heartache at Qin Qi's barbaric actions, but then a look of surprise appeared on his face.

"This poison is really potent. No wonder it recognized Xiao Cui and still dared to ask me for it."

"You're quite the hidden talent, kid."

Dugu Bo looked at Qin Qi and only then realized that this kid was also a poison cultivator.

Moreover, judging from his words just now and the poison skills he's displayed, this kid's skill is quite formidable.

"It's just average, nothing compared to yours."

Qin Qi revealed a simple and honest smile and spoke.

"Phew, at least you have some self-awareness. Here, this is my Jade Scale Serpent Venom. Be careful when you're studying it, don't poison yourself to death."

As he spoke, Dugu Bo tossed Qin Qi a small bottle containing the venom of the Azure Serpent King.

Note that it is not the venom of the Jade Scale Snake, but the venom of the Jade Scale Snake Emperor. The difference of just one word makes a world of difference in toxicity!

"Don't worry, don't worry, there won't be any problems."

Qin Qi happily accepted the Nine-Section Jade and the Jade Serpent King's Poison, and then returned to the academy.

After returning, he took some venom from the mouth of the Nine-Section Jadeite Serpent, and then entered the learning space with the Nine-Section Jadeite venom and the Jadeite Serpent King venom.

Chapter 68 Poison Skills Greatly Improved, Early Graduation Plan!

In the learning space.

"Second Grandfather, Great-Grandfather, look what good things I've brought back!"

Qin Qi spoke with some excitement.

"You're so impulsive and careless, what kind of behavior is this?"

Tang Jiaren reprimanded him, then noticed what Qin Qi was holding.

He reached out, pressed it against his hand, smelled it, and took a bite.
