The man was thin, like a javelin, with strange dark green hair and beard, and his eyes emitted a faint green glow in the night.
He wore a gray robe, his expression was indifferent, and the expression on his withered old face was extremely hard, making him look like an old zombie.
At this moment, Dugu Bo's green pupils were also subconsciously filled with shock. Looking at Lu Yuan, whose body was covered by electric current, even though he was a titled Douluo and had seen a lot, he couldn't help but be incredulous.
"What kind of martial spirit does this kid have that allows him to increase his physical strength during cultivation?"
"And that ancient whale glue, this kid actually melted it and swallowed it whole! Isn't he afraid it'll explode down there?!"
As the Poison Douluo who reigns supreme in the world of poisons, Dugu Bo has some understanding of pharmacology. Although he may not be as knowledgeable as Ye Cixin, he still understands the consequences of consuming too much potent medicine.
In his view, Lu Yuan swallowing whale glue was simply courting death.
What he was curious about now was why Lu Yuan was completely unharmed.
Dugu Bo was certain that Lu Yuan wasn't a fool. Ever since he found out that Yan Yan had been bullied, he had been secretly observing him.
After observing Lu Yuan for the past few days, he had already formed a concrete assessment of him.
With a steadfast character and mature interpersonal skills, it shouldn't be difficult for him to avoid falling behind or even surpass himself in the future.
This kid even became Ye Cixin's apprentice. For a kid like this to say he doesn't know that whale jelly shouldn't be eaten in large quantities is simply a joke.
So whale gel must have some special effect. Could it be that the reason this kid is so strong is because of whale gel?
Thinking of this, a hint of ruthlessness appeared in Dugu Bo's eyes. If that were really the case, then the value would be too great.
It could even be enough to cause a power to undergo a complete transformation.
Hiss. Thinking of this, Dugu Bo no longer hesitated, grabbed Lu Yuan directly, and disappeared in an instant.
You can find out the specific effects of whale gel by slowly asking this kid.
If Dugu Bo wasn't tempted by such enormous benefits, he would be deceiving himself.
As a titled Douluo, Dugu Bo was naturally well aware of the benefits of a Soul Master having a strong body.
Almost all titled Douluo know that before a ten-thousand-year spirit ring, a spirit master's physical strength determines how many years of spirit rings they can absorb.
Dugu Bo's actions were so subtle that he left Tiandou City without being caught by anyone.
He quickly carried Lu Yuan towards his secluded place.
With his strength, he was virtually unstoppable in Tiandou City, but after observing for a few days, Dugu Bo realized that Lu Yuan was valued by Crown Prince Xue Qinghe.
Although Xue Qinghe, the crown prince, posed no real threat to him, Dugu Bo had no intention of causing trouble for himself.
His secluded place was located deep in the sunset forest, a place rarely visited by people.
Even if he were to kill Lu Yuan in a fit of rage there, no one would ever notice.
Under the influence of the whale glue, Lu Yuan had entered a deep meditation and was completely unaware that he had been quietly taken out of Tian Dou City.
Even if he knew, Lu Yuan probably wouldn't struggle, and might even let Dugu Bo take him there happily.
After all, Dugu Bo's secluded cultivation place was the treasure land of Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye, which he had longed for for a long time.
The damp cave reeked of decaying leaves.
Lu Yuan slowly opened his eyes and was immediately taken aback.
Subconsciously, he activated his martial spirit and rushed out of the cave.
Just as he moved, a withered old hand silently landed on his shoulder.
The old hand paused only slightly the moment it touched the electric current in his body before firmly gripping his shoulder blade.
Lu Yuan reacted instantly, countless thoughts surging through his mind, and two spirit rings were released directly behind him.
Two spirit rings, one yellow and one purple, flashed continuously, and a large amount of lightning as thick as an arm was constantly released from Lu Yuan's body.
The crackling lightning illuminated the entire cave, blasting smoke and sending large amounts of rubble flying from the cave walls.
"A thousand-year-old second soul ring!"
A hoarse, unpleasant voice sounded behind Lu Yuan.
The sound made Lu Yuan feel a little uncomfortable. He tried his best to turn his head and immediately saw the face of the person who was holding him down.
That unique appearance, with its green hair and beard, all pointed to the identity of the person before them.
Dugu Bo!
"Why did Senior Dugu bring me to a place like this in the middle of the night?!"
"Could it be that I have somehow offended you, senior?"
Lu Yuan looked at Dugu Bo, his heart tightening. He knew that whether he could obtain the immortal herb depended on his performance in the coming moments.
"Do you know me?"
Dugu Bo was taken aback when he realized that Lu Yuan had recognized him at a glance.
However, he soon looked at the purple soul ring behind Lu Yuan again, and a hint of excitement appeared in his deathly gaze.
"Boy, tell me the uses of whale glue, and I'll give you a quick death."
"If I'm not mistaken, your second spirit ring should be related to the whale jelly you just ingested."
"Although your martial spirit can enhance your strength, it is absolutely impossible for you to obtain the second ring at your age."
“Tell me your secret, or I can’t guarantee you won’t leave this world in extreme pain.”
"Since you know me, you should also know how I got the title of Poison Douluo."
"Hehehe, you should understand my methods."
Chapter 33 Dugu Bo: You saved me, this place is yours.
"Senior Dugu, please don't scare me."
"I'm easily frightened. If I cause any harm, you'll be responsible."
"My second spirit ring has nothing to do with whale glue, but whale glue can indeed improve physical strength."
"As for the effects of whale glue, why don't you just buy a piece and try it yourself? You can just melt it with your soul power and eat it directly."
Lu Yuan regained his composure and looked at Dugu Bo, speaking in a tone that was neither humble nor arrogant, as if he were not worried about his safety at all.
"Nonsense! Do you think I don't know the physical requirements of a thousand-year soul ring? Without the help of whale glue, how could you possibly advance to the second thousand-year ring?"
"Kid, you better behave yourself, or I won't hold back."
Dugu Bo's eyes turned much colder, and his gaze toward Lu Yuan became more hostile.
"I've told you the truth. If you don't believe me, Senior Dugu, there's nothing I can do."
"But Senior Dugu, you're clearly on the verge of death, yet you act so recklessly. Aren't you afraid of being held accountable after death?"
"When I first met Senior Sister Dugu Yan, I was curious how the granddaughter of the Poison Douluo could be poisoned without even realizing it. Now that I've met her, I understand."
"So the poison on my senior sister's body was inherited from Senior Dugu!"
"What a pity, such a young and vibrant life!"
Lu Yuan looked at Dugu Bo, his eyes narrowed, and a hint of regret appeared on his face.
What Dugu Bo cares about most is definitely his granddaughter, Dugu Yan.
Although there is some risk in using this to stimulate him, opportunities are always accompanied by risks.
"what!!!"
"Who told you this?!"
"Who gave you the audacity to talk nonsense in front of me?"
Emerald green soul power soared into the sky, and Dugu Bo was filled with an unparalleled aura of oppression.
Lu Yuan's vision went black for a moment, and when he looked up again, he saw Dugu Bo standing in front of him, his emerald green eyes staring at Lu Yuan with a sinister look, like those of a venomous snake.
Just being stared at like that made Lu Yuan feel a chill run down his spine.
Sensing the imposing aura emanating from Dugu Bo and his chilling gaze, Lu Yuan realized that he had stirred Dugu Bo's heart.
He understood that the real test was about to begin.
Whether he can make Dugu Bo his protector in the future, or even obtain all the immortal herbs from him, depends on the answer that follows.
"Whether I'm lying or not, you should know for sure. As for how I know it..."
"Just by looking at the senior's hair color and fingertips, you can tell that he is a Poison Douluo who is restricted by his own poison. It's really laughable."
Hearing Lu Yuan's words, Dugu Bo's heart was filled with murderous intent.
Limited by the venom of the Jade Scale Serpent, this was his most important secret.
The fact that a mere brat could say it so confidently filled this titled Douluo with dread and unease.
You should know that due to the toxins, he experiences a period of weakness every month.
During his weakened state, his combat strength was reduced to less than one-tenth. If his enemies found out about this, Dugu Bo dared not imagine the despair he would suffer.
"Kid, you're asking for it!"
The phantom of the Azure Scale Serpent kept appearing behind Dugu Bo, and it was already showing signs of wanting to make a move.
"I do have a way to cure your poison, but I need some special medicinal herbs!"
Lu Yuan, overwhelmed by Dugu Bo's imposing aura, felt as if he couldn't breathe properly.
At this moment, Dugu Bo also deeply realized just how big the gap was between his strength and that of a Title Douluo powerhouse.
At this moment, Lu Yuan's desire to become a strong person became even stronger.
"what!"
Upon hearing Lu Yuan's words, Dugu Bo's body stiffened, and his imposing aura vanished like the tide.
"What methods do you have to help this old man get rid of the poison in his body?"
"If you can really solve my problem, I will not only spare your life, but also grant you three requests."
Dugu Bo's gaze was fixed intently on Lu Yuan, somewhat expecting this mature young man to utter words that could change his fate.
Because of the venom of the Jade Scale Snake, Dugu Bo lost his parents, his wife, his son, and his daughter-in-law.
If it could truly be resolved, he would be willing to exchange everything for it.
There's no need to even detoxify him; just removing the Azure Scale Snake venom from Yan Yan's body would be enough to let him die.
"To remove the poison from your body, we must find a place called the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye."
"This is a treasure land where water and fire coexist. Countless rare and precious herbs grow in this land, including things that can save your life."
Seeing that Dugu Bo had released his oppressive aura and made a promise, Lu Yuan immediately stopped hiding his intentions and spoke directly.
"I don't know what the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire is, but my medicine garden is similar to what you described."
"Perfect timing, come with me!"
Upon hearing Lu Yuan's words, Dugu Bo's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he quickly spoke up.
After saying that, he strode towards the cave entrance. Lu Yuan followed him without hesitation, heading towards the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye, which he had been looking forward to for a long time.
As he stepped out of the cave, his eyes were immediately drawn to a bright and unique area where ice and fire intertwined.
This is exactly the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire that he has been longing for!
Ignoring Lu Yuan's shocked expression, Dugu Bo casually leaped into the cave, which was at least a hundred meters above the ground.
Without further hesitation, Lu Yuan followed suit and jumped down.
Dugu Bo originally wanted to see how Lu Yuan would handle a distance of 100 meters, but Lu Yuan's sudden jump startled Dugu Bo so much that his heart tightened.
He finally had a chance to get rid of the Jade Scale Serpent venom, and if this kid fell and died, he would really cry.
Just as he was about to fly to Lu Yuan's side to save him, he was suddenly shocked again!
Suddenly, Lu Yuan appeared to fly into the air!
That's right, it took flight.
At this moment, Dugu Bo's heart was truly in turmoil. If it weren't for his extraordinary self-control, he probably would have lost his composure long ago.
Just how strong is this kid's martial spirit?!
