Chapter 123 - Chapter 123 Seized and Refined in an Instant

"This method is actually not difficult. Senior Dugu, the reason you are afflicted by the Jade Phosphor Serpent Poison is mainly because the poison cultivation technique you practice is overbearing, and your Jade Phosphor Serpent Poison is also very overbearing. The toxins produced by combining the two are naturally extremely strong."

"You used the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor to practice this Poison Technique, but you didn't find a place to store the toxins produced. If you had a Tool Spirit, you would only need to condense the toxins within your Spirit to solve the problem of the Jade Phosphor Serpent Poison."

"But unfortunately, you have a Beast Spirit. Every time you use Martial Soul Possession, it is a process of fusing the toxins with your body. Over time, being poisoned is inevitable. Although your spirit power as a Titled Douluo can play a role in mobilizing and suppressing them, they have long since become a part of your body."

"Therefore, if you want to keep the toxins while preventing them from harming you, you must find a Parasite to serve as a storage place for the toxins."

"Senior Dugu, with your strength, you must have a poison-related Spirit Bone on you, right?"

Yu Yan didn't hide anything; he directly plagiarized, adapted, and borrowed Tang San's future method.

"You mean, let me force the Jade Phosphor Serpent Poison into a Spirit Bone for storage, so the toxins have a fixed storage point instead of being fused into my body."

As the most famous poison expert on the continent today, Dugu Bo immediately understood Yu Yan's logic after hearing his method.

"Exactly."

After receiving Yu Yan's affirmative answer, Dugu Bo, with a look of sudden realization, began to deduce Yu Yan's method in his mind. Soon, he discovered another problem.

"Wait, kid. I've practiced the Jade Phosphor Serpent Spirit for over seventy years. My body has long since merged with the toxins; a single move affects the whole body. One mistake, and I might die a violent death on the spot."

After explaining the drawbacks of this method, Dugu Bo stared eagerly at Yu Yan, waiting for him to provide a solution.

If Yu Yan didn't have a solution, Dugu Bo would change his face on the spot and let Yu Yan taste the horrors of the Jade Phosphor Serpent Poison.

"Senior is indeed a poison expert. You found the drawback without me even needing to remind you."

After flattering Dugu Bo slightly, Yu Yan continued:

"I have a secret medicine. As long as it's guided by other drugs, it can gradually filter out the toxins in your Meridians and bones bit by bit, and then concentrate them in the Spirit Bone for storage. This will be a relatively long process. Senior, don't think it's slow; you surely know your own situation better than I do."

"In three to four months at the earliest, or half a year at the latest, the vast majority of the toxins will be forced into the Spirit Bone. As for the result, I don't think I need to say more."

Yu Yan stopped speaking, and Dugu Bo began to follow Yu Yan's line of thought to continue his deduction.

Then he discovered that, indeed, as Yu Yan said, as long as the majority of the toxins entrenched in his body were forced into the Spirit Bone, he could rid himself of the Jade Phosphor Serpent Poison that had plagued him for years.

"Good, good, good! Hahaha! You kid are really interesting. There aren't many people I truly admire. As long as you can really fulfill your promise, besides that Medicine Garden, I can also grant you three requests."

In a great mood, Dugu Bo laughed and made a new promise.

Dugu Bo gave this promise because he felt that the Medicine Garden alone could not repay this kindness.

"Senior, you're too kind. That Medicine Garden is already enough for me."

In this matter, Yu Yan had slightly schemed against Dugu Bo. If he also accepted the promise, it would be somewhat dishonest.

"It's settled then, say no more." Dugu Bo waved his hand, making the final decision. "When will you start detoxifying me?"

"The detoxification requires some preparation. Some herbs also need to be found in your Medicine Garden."

This was a lie. Yu Yan was not Tang San; he hadn't read any Tang Sect Classics, so how could he know any secret medicine formulas?

"This method is actually not difficult. Senior Dugu, the reason you are afflicted by the Jade Phosphor Serpent Poison is mainly because the poison cultivation technique you practice is overbearing, and your Jade Phosphor Serpent Poison is also very overbearing. The toxins produced by combining the two are naturally extremely strong."

"The detoxification requires some preparation. Some herbs also need to be found in your Medicine Garden."

This was a lie. Yu Yan was not Tang San; he hadn't read any Tang Sect Classics, so how could he know any secret medicine formulas?

He knew how to prepare the medicine Dugu Bo needed because the core of that medicine was the blood of someone who had consumed the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the blazing apricot cactus. Its mild and low-dosage medicinal properties would be the best medicine.

As for what the medicine itself was, it didn't matter.

"No problem. Go back and handle your miscellaneous affairs, and tonight you will go to that Medicine Garden with me."

Even a clever housewife cannot cook without rice; without good ingredients, it was indeed impossible to refine the medicine to suppress the Jade Phosphor Serpent Poison. Dugu Bo, who refined poisons all year round, expressed his understanding of this.

"I'll go back and tell Vice Dean Jiang Jing, then I can go to the Medicine Garden with you."

Before coming here, Yu Yan had already anticipated the current situation. He really wanted to see the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well that had nurtured multiple gods.

"Go then. After you go out, help me call Yanyan in."

Yu Yan's straightforwardness made Dugu Bo admire him a bit more. He lay on the rocking chair and waved his hand, signaling that Yu Yan could leave.

He had encountered too many things today. Dugu Bo also needed to quiet down and think things through, and also chat with his granddaughter Dugu Yan.

Leaving the courtyard, Yu Yan saw Jiang Jing and Dugu Yan standing nearby, chatting. Judging from the scene of the two talking, they seemed to be getting along quite well?

"Dugu Yan, your grandfather is calling you in."

Making a sound as he approached the two, Yu Yan interrupted their conversation and explained his reason for doing so to Dugu Yan.

"Oh, I see."

Dugu Yan sized Yu Yan up and down before heading toward the courtyard.

After Dugu Yan left, Jiang Jing looked at Yu Yan and asked, "Is everything settled?"

"Yes, Senior Dugu is quite a decent person. We've reached a preliminary cooperation."

Yu Yan answered truthfully. From his perspective, Dugu Bo was indeed a decent person; he didn't use his power to pressure him, agreed to give him the Medicine Garden, and even insisted on granting him three requests.

If outsiders heard Yu Yan's evaluation of Dugu Bo, their jaws might drop.

Poison Douluo Dugu Bo was not at all associated with the evaluation of 'quite a decent person.' This was the perception of ninety-nine percent of the Spirit Masters on the Douluo Continent, and Jiang Jing was within that range.

"It's good that you reached a deal. Yu Yan, you're really amazing."

To be able to peacefully reach a deal with a Titled Douluo, Jiang Jing really admired Yu Yan. She wouldn't be able to do such a thing.

"I'll be going out with Senior Dugu for a while, as short as two or three months, or as long as half a year. I won't be able to return to the Exotic Beast Academy with you. Could I trouble the dean to take this letter to Xiao Wu?"

Yu Yan, who had prepared this letter as early as last night, took out the envelope and handed it to Jiang Jing.

Jiang Jing had no reason to refuse such a small matter as delivering a letter.

Outside the courtyard, Yu Yan and Jiang Jing chatted as they left Dugu Bo's residence.

Inside the courtyard, Dugu Bo learned and remembered the name of this interesting kid from his granddaughter Yanyan: Yu Yan.
