"Great! Chief Wei, Wei Feng, you... you are truly the great benefactors of my Dugu family!
If this method succeeds, not only will Xin'er be saved, but the inheritance of my Dugu lineage may also be completely changed!"
Dugu Bo was deeply shocked. He carefully chewed on every word Wei Zhenshan said.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this method was ingenious and far surpassed the old way that his Dugu family had followed for generations.
He originally thought that the Wei family had just luckily found some kind of stopgap measure to suppress the poison.
But I never expected that the other party would directly propose a subversive new path!
It is insidious and treacherous, and it is hard to guard against, but its poison is like a cancer attached to the bone.
It is very easy to accumulate in the practitioner's internal organs, bone marrow and meridians, and accumulate from generation to generation, eventually becoming an unsolvable dead end.
This is the fate that generations of descendants of the Green Phosphorus Snake Martial Spirit cannot escape.
And the fire poison... Dugu Bo's eyes flashed.
The fire poison is overbearing and cruel, and it may be more difficult to practice. It requires extremely high physical fitness and willpower from the soul master.
But its characteristics determine that it is more inclined to destroy external objects rather than harm itself!
As long as one is guided properly and finds the correct method of cultivation, the risk is indeed much lower than that of being vicious.
More importantly, even if future generations are not talented, they will have more time to slowly improve their cultivation and gradually control the toxins.
Instead of having to face the constant danger of being killed by one's own toxins like now!
This is a way of life tailor-made for his Dugu family!
After realizing this, Dugu Bo's eyes when looking at Wei Zhenshan and Wei Feng changed completely. They were filled with indescribable gratitude and an excitement of seeing hope for the family's future.
Dugu Bo looked at his son suddenly, his voice rising slightly due to his emotional excitement:
"Xin'er! What are you still standing there for? You should thank Patriarch Wei and young friend Wei Feng for such a great favor!"
Dugu Xin now fully understood the significance of the soul bone in his hand and the "fire poison" concept. It not only saved his life, but also illuminated the future of the entire Dugu family!
He struggled to support his weak body and kowtow to Wei Zhenshan and Wei Feng, his voice choked and trembling:
"Junior...Junior bows to thank Burning Sky Douluo! Thank you, Young Master Wei Feng!
This kindness... Dugu Xin, and the entire Dugu family, will never forget it!"
However, at this moment, Dugu Bo watched his son excitedly stroking the precious soul bone.
Looking at Wei Zhenshan, who was calm and composed and could easily take out such a treasure, a thought flashed through his mind like lightning, making him stunned.
The Wei family... in a short period of time, it suddenly rose from an unknown family.
Not only did they produce a Burning Heaven Douluo, but they also had a profound foundation, even allowing them to casually give away 30,000-year-old top-grade spirit bones...
This is definitely not just strength, it seems like there is an indescribable "luck" enveloping this family!
He and his son were trapped in a desperate situation, but it was the Wei family that brought them the only hope of survival and a brighter future...
Is this just a coincidence?
Dugu Bo took a deep breath, his eyes becoming extremely solemn and serious. He took a step forward, staring directly at Wei Zhenshan with a burning gaze, and suddenly made a decision that no one expected:
"Brother Wei! I cannot thank you enough for your kindness! I have a humble request."
Dugu Bo paused, his tone firm and resolute, with an unquestionable determination:
"I wonder if Brother Wei...would you be willing to accept Xin'er as your disciple?"
"Father?!"
Dugu Xin was completely stunned and looked at his father in disbelief.
Become a disciple?
This is what my father meant?!
After a moment of shock, Dugu Xin immediately reacted.
Dugu Xin endured his physical weakness and discomfort and bowed deeply to Wei Zhenshan without hesitation.
His voice grew hoarse with excitement, yet it was filled with unprecedented earnestness and determination:
"Senior Burning Sky Douluo! Junior Dugu Xin, I beg you to... accept me as your disciple!"
This sudden request surprised Wei Zhenshan a little.
But his eyes swept across Dugu Xin who was bowing deeply in front of him, and then looked at Dugu Bo who was standing beside him with a serious expression and obviously thought it through carefully, and many thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant.
This boy possesses the top-level martial spirit, the Green Phosphorus Snake. He is naturally gifted, but is burdened by the poison.
Once the worry of the backlash from the Jade Phosphorus Snake venom is resolved, I can use this 30,000-year-old Blazing Flame Dragon Soul Bone to rebuild my foundation and switch to the even more potent Fire Poison Path...
His future prospects are indeed limitless. Like Dugu Bo, he is a late bloomer and it is not impossible for him to reach the realm of Titled Douluo.
Accepting such a disciple would not only not disgrace his title of Burning Heaven Douluo, but would instead become a good story.
Save a genius from despair and guide him to a broader path to becoming a stronger person.
What's more... a barely perceptible gleam flashed in Wei Zhenshan's eyes.
This move will undoubtedly tie the Dugu family and the Wei family more closely!
Dugu Bo's only son became his personal disciple.
It is almost a foregone conclusion that this continent-famous Poison Douluo will join the Burning Heaven Sect, and there will be no variables!
Both publicly and privately, this is an extremely cost-effective "investment".
Wei Zhenshan made up his mind in an instant.
The serious expression on his face melted away, revealing a calm and majestic smile.
He took a step forward and helped Dugu Xin, who was prostrating on the ground, up. His resounding voice echoed in the cave:
"Okay! Since both you and your son have this intention, if I continue to refuse, it would seem hypocritical.
Dugu Xin, from today on, you will be the first direct disciple of me, Wei Zhenshan!
Once you recover, I will officially accept you as my disciple!"
He turned his gaze to Dugu Bo, who was unable to conceal his excitement, and his tone became even more serious, with an unquestionable promise:
"Brother Dugu, rest assured. Now that I have accepted Xin'er, I will teach him everything I know to help him dissolve the poison and embark on the path of a soul master again! In the future, my Burning Heaven Sect will be his strongest backing!"
Once these words were spoken, not only did they establish the relationship between master and disciple, but they also completely and closely linked the interests of the Wei family, the Dugu family, and the future Burning Heaven Sect.
Seeing this, Wei Zhenshan did not delay any longer and said in a deep voice:
"There's no time to lose. Now that the relationship between master and disciple has been established, Xin'er, you should concentrate and calm down. I will personally help you refine this soul bone!"
Wei Zhenshan turned his gaze to Dugu Bo:
"Brother Dugu, I still need your assistance. Use your profound understanding of the Green Phosphorus Snake venom to guide the toxin's flow within Xin'er's body. Don't let the toxin get out of control during the removal process."
Dugu Bo nodded heavily, his face no longer showing his usual arrogance, only a look of concentration and solemnity:
"Brother Wei, rest assured. I will fully cooperate!"
Wei Zhenshan signaled Dugu Xin to sit cross-legged again and placed the "Blazing Flame Dragon Right Arm Bone" that was emitting fiery energy fluctuations on his right arm.
