Dugu Bo stared intently at Yue Guan, unsure of what to say.
The fact that the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Soul Masters suffer from the backlash of their own toxins is a secret of their family.
How did an outsider like Yue Guan know this?
He has indeed suffered the backlash from his own toxins.
Not only him, but even his ten-year-old son showed signs of being affected by the backlash.
Dugu Xin is only ten years old!
This is much earlier than the age at which he suffered the backlash from his own toxins.
Yue Guan continued: “Your hair and eye color have changed abnormally; this is a sign of the poison backlash.
If it’s not controlled, it will at least affect your cultivation, and at worst…” Yue Guan didn’t finish her sentence, but the meaning couldn’t be clearer.
Dugu Bo remained silent for a moment, and his fierce killing intent gradually subsided.
How could he not know these things?
In recent years, he has felt that the speed at which his soul power is increasing is getting slower and slower, and sometimes he also experiences pain.
This is clearly a sign that the backlash is intensifying.
How do you know all this?
Who told you?
“I heard it from someone.
As for who that person is, it doesn’t matter anymore.
Don’t worry, I can cure you.” Dugu Bo sat back down in his chair and snorted coldly: “You can cure me?
Even I am helpless in this matter.
What makes you, an outsider, so confident in your ability to make such a claim?” “Because I am Yue Guan.” Yue Guan smiled slightly, flicked her finger, and a golden chrysanthemum phantom flashed and disappeared from her fingertip.
“I have studied flowers and plants for more than 20 years.
If there is anyone in this world who can cure the poison in your body, it is probably only me.” A glint flashed in Dugu Bo’s eyes.
In order to solve the problem of being harmed by toxins, the Dugu family also studied pharmacology.
He naturally knew some of it as well.
However, he also knew that Yue Guan was obsessed with flowers and plants, and his knowledge in this area must far surpass his own.
Moreover, Yue Guan seemed very confident, as if he could really cure him of the poison.
Is Yue Guan a trustworthy person?
Would he really be that kind?
What exactly is this so-called help he’s offering?
A series of questions flashed through Dugu Bo’s mind.
After a moment’s thought, he sighed.
“Brother Yueguan, you’re right.
I have indeed suffered from the backlash of my own toxins, and I’ve tried everything over the years, but I still haven’t been able to eradicate it.
But why are you helping me?
We’re not related, what are you after?” Yue Guan smiled slightly and said frankly: “Didn’t I just say we need your help?” “What favor?
Tell me.
If it’s something I, Dugu Bo, can do, I’ll naturally do my best.
However…” Dugu Bo hesitated for a moment, but still voiced his concerns.
“I heard that you two received an invitation from the Spirit Hall.
I wonder if you are now members of the Spirit Hall.
If you’re here to invite me to join the Spirit Hall, then forget it.
I have no interest in joining the Spirit Hall; I just want to live a peaceful life with my son.” Yue Guan and Gui Mei exchanged a smile.
“Brother Dugu, you misunderstand.
Neither of us has joined the Spirit Hall yet, nor do we intend to.
Our visit to you this time has nothing to do with the Spirit Hall.” Dugu Bo was stunned for a moment, somewhat surprised.
He didn’t expect that the two of them would refuse the invitation from the Spirit Hall.
Wouldn’t it be asking for trouble to associate with these two?
Yue Guan saw Dugu Bo’s worry and smiled: “Don’t worry, our request for your help has nothing to do with the Spirit Hall.
Old Ghost and I are planning to hunt a 100,000-year-old spirit beast in the sea to make our seventh spirit ring, and we need a powerful helper, so we came to you.” “?!
The seventh spirit ring, from a 100,000-year-old spirit beast?!” Dugu Bo stared wide-eyed, utterly shocked.
Yue Guan once again made a startling statement.
For a moment, he even wondered if Yue Guan had something wrong with his head.
“Putting aside whether we can find a 100,000-year-old soul beast, can you handle a 100,000-year-old seventh soul ring?” The ghost chuckled.
“That’s not something you need to worry about; we have a solution.” Dugu Bo was speechless for a moment.
I really don’t know what those two guys were thinking.
However, they both seemed very confident, so perhaps they really do have some unknown methods.
Yue Guan continued: “Our Martial Soul Fusion Skill has a powerful restrictive effect, but it prevents us from dealing damage.
We need your poison to help us kill the Soul Beast.” Dugu Bo immediately understood Yue Guan’s meaning.
“Alright, I promise you.
As long as you keep your word, I can go to the sea with you and help you hunt for souls.” “Great, then it’ll be a pleasure working together.” Dugu Bo’s expression suddenly changed, and a hint of worry flashed in his eyes.
“Since we’ve come this far, I won’t hide it from you two.
My son’s poison is more troublesome than mine.” “What’s wrong?” “His Azure Scale Serpent has mutated, his martial soul is flawed, and the toxins in his body have accumulated even deeper.
He’s only a little over ten years old, and he’s already showing signs of being harmed by his own toxins.
If only I hadn’t…” When this matter was brought up, Dugu Bo felt full of guilt.
His wife was poisoned during her ten months of pregnancy and died shortly after giving birth to Dugu Xin.
Dugu Xin awakened the flawed Jade Scale Serpent Martial Soul at the age of six, and the toxins in his body were higher than those of ordinary Jade Scale Serpent Soul Masters.
For the past four years, Dugu Bo has been in a state of inner turmoil.
What parent doesn’t hope their child will become successful?
Dugu Xin was his only son and his only family member.
However, he had to slow down Dugu Xin’s cultivation progress.
Because the more Dugu Xin cultivated, the more severe the backlash from his own toxins became.
Dugu Bo predicted that Dugu Xin might not live past forty.
He had even prepared for the possibility of an elderly person outliving their child.
Before his death, his father told him that most of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Soul Masters had short lifespans, and the only way to break this cycle was to cultivate to the Title Douluo level before the age of seventy and use powerful soul power to suppress their own toxins.
In recent years, besides searching for a way to break the poison, he has also been practicing diligently.
Now, he is in his early forties and has a soul power level of 68.
Although he is better than ordinary Azure Serpent Soul Masters, it is still far from enough.
However, he is confident that he can reach the Title Douluo realm before he turns seventy.
Now, his only worry is his son, Dugu Xin.
“Brother Dugu, I’m not just talking about curing your poison; I can also cure your son’s poison.
Moreover, he’s still young, so his poison is easier to cure than yours.” “Really…really?
You can really do it?” Dugu Bo came to his senses and looked at Yue Guan as if he had seen a savior.
Yue Guan smiled calmly.
“Is your son at home?
Bring him over to see me.” “Yes, he is.
Please wait a moment, I will bring him over now.” Dugu Bo left with a heart full of joy.
Yue Guan sighed inwardly.
The ruthless and vicious demon Dugu Bo was once a pitiful person in his youth.
He wanted to be a good son, a good husband, and a good father, but things didn’t go as planned.
It is difficult for people to maintain their original aspirations after experiencing various major setbacks.
For a poison master like him, a drastic change in temperament would be disastrous.
