Chapter 54 Hit me first if you want to hit him! Dugu Bo apologizes!
"Senior."
Ye Tianchen finally spoke.
He stepped out from behind Dugu Yan, meeting Dugu Bo's complex gaze with a calm expression.
"You've misunderstood."
"Misunderstand?"
Dugu Bo sneered.
"So many herbs have disappeared from my herb garden. Did I eat them myself?"
Ye Tianchen shook his head.
"Those herbs, I did pick them."
A cold glint flashed in Dugu Bo's eyes.
"But the younger generation picks them because they are ripe."
Ye Tianchen explained calmly and unhurriedly.
"Since ancient times, medicine and poison have been inseparable. As a renowned Poison Douluo on the continent, your understanding of pharmacology goes without saying. He believes you have also seen the wonders of this place, which is why you chose the Ying Yang Ice And Fire Eyes as your medicinal garden. The herbs he picked are all mature herbs. Continuing to grow them will only increase their age, not their efficacy. Moreover, if they are allowed to grow freely, they will inevitably develop intelligence and evolve into spirit beasts. At that time, it will be hard to say who will own this place."
He paused, then pointed to the spot where the herbs had been picked.
"But you can rest assured, senior. He only picked the fruit and did not damage the roots. Given enough time, they will grow back. Picking them early or late makes no difference. He just made a decision for you."
Dugu Bo looked in the direction he was pointing.
Sure enough, the roots of the herbs that had been picked were all intact in the soil, and with his keen eyesight, he could naturally see that their roots had not been damaged.
This discovery softened his expression somewhat.
"Then why didn't you tell me?"
"The senior is in seclusion."
Ye Tianchen said.
"The cultivation of the Poison Pill technique is most vulnerable to disturbance, and he did not dare to rashly disturb it."
Dugu Bo fell silent.
He looked at the intact root system, then at Ye Tianchen's calm face, and his anger gradually dissipated.
That kid... he does have a point.
Even so.
He was still somewhat unwilling to accept it.
"You should have left a few for me to see..."
"Grandfather!"
Dugu Yan suddenly interrupted him and then activated her spirit power.
Azure-green spirit power surged, revealing all forty-six levels of spirit power.
"Yanyan, your spirit power..."
Dugu Bo suddenly stopped, his eyes filled with shock as he looked at Dugu Yan.
Dugu Yan blinked and raised her chin with a hint of smugness.
"Level 46!"
Dugu Bo's eyes widened in surprise.
Level 46?
Before he went into seclusion, his granddaughter's spirit power was clearly level thirty-eight! It's only been less than two months, how could this be...?
"How...how did you do that?"
His voice even sounded a little distorted.
Dugu Yan snorted and took Ye Tianchen's arm, looking smug.
"I have to thank Tianchen for this! He let her eat an eight-petaled Immortal Herb, helped her hunt down a three-thousand-year-old black spider web python to make a spirit ring, and even saved her from the mouth of a ten-thousand-year-old black spider web python. He even gave her the external spirit bone fangs produced by that ten-thousand-year-old black spider web python. Otherwise, how could she have improved so quickly?"
Through his granddaughter's grinning mouth, Dugu Bo immediately noticed her two sharp canine teeth.
As a titled Douluo, Dugu Bo naturally knew what external spirit bones were and how valuable they were.
It is no exaggeration to say that external spirit bones are comparable to 100,000-year spirit bones and 100,000-year spirit rings because they have growth potential!
Even he, having obtained an external spirit bone, might not be able to give it away without any attachment.
But upon hearing his granddaughter's words, Ye Tianchen didn't even hesitate and directly gave away the external spirit bone, which was comparable to a 100,000-year-old spirit bone!
Thinking of this, Dugu Bo let out a long sigh.
The anger in his heart completely dissipated at that moment.
Dugu Bo raised his head and looked at Ye Tianchen.
The complexity in his gaze was indescribable.
There was shock, gratitude, admiration, and a touch of... shame.
He had just thought this kid was stealing his herbs.
He had just tried to attack him.
This kid not only helped his granddaughter reach level 46 and saved her life, but he also gave her such a precious external spirit bone...
"Kid...."
Dugu Bo opened his mouth, his voice a little hoarse.
"Just now... I acted impulsively."
He took a deep breath and solemnly clasped his hands in a fist salute to Ye Tianchen.
"I'm sorry."
At the eye of the Ying Yang Ice And Fire Eyes, sunlight shone through the misty, colorful fog, illuminating the entire valley with warmth and brightness.
Dugu Bo's apology still echoed in the air. This old poison master, who was feared throughout the entire continent, actually apologized to a boy who was younger than his own granddaughter.
"Um... kid, I did act impulsively just now."
He repeated it again, as if he felt that his previous apology was not sincere enough.
"You are Yanyan's friend and have helped the Dugu family so much. I shouldn't have attacked you without knowing the facts."
Ye Tianchen smiled slightly.
"Senior, you flatter me. It's only natural for you to cherish your herbs."
"It was indeed inappropriate of me to dig up the herbs without your permission. Consider these two precious herbs as an offering to apologize to you, senior."
As he spoke, he reached into his storage spirit tool and took out two exquisite jade boxes.
The two jade boxes, one large and one small, were crystal clear, and one could vaguely see what was sealed inside.
The larger one was about the size of a human head and emitted a faint, delicate fragrance.
The smaller one was only the size of a palm, and a faint aura of coldness emanated from its surface.
Although Dugu Bo didn't know about Immortal Herbs, he could still sense the aura emanating from the jade box. Moreover, what Ye Tianchen had just mentioned was not a herb, but an Immortal Herb!
Anything that can be associated with the word "immortal" must be something extraordinary!
Ye Tianchen gently placed the two jade boxes on the bluestone beside him, and then slowly opened them.
The moment the small jade box was opened, a bone-chilling cold swept over them!
Inside the box lay a strange, snow-white herb, its neck shaped like a swan's, gracefully curved.
Its snow-white color was so pure that it was untouched by any dust, and a few tiny white flowers bloomed at the top, with a faint light flowing in the stamens.
"This is..."
Dugu Bo murmured softly.
"This substance is called Snow Swan Kiss, a sacred object among the most poisonous substances in the world."
"But I didn't detect any toxicity from it."
As a master of poisons, Dugu Bo could sense that this Snow Swan Kiss plant had no toxicity whatsoever.
"Senior Dugu is right. Snow Swan's Kiss is indeed not poisonous, but it can enhance the medicinal properties of other poisons by a hundred or a thousand times. Even a drop of the most ordinary snake venom, after being added to Snow Swan's Kiss, can become a deadly poison that makes Soul Masters tremble with fear!"
"What?! It can enhance the medicinal properties of poisons by a hundredfold, a thousandfold?!"
Dugu Bo gasped in shock.
His eyes widened as he stared intently at the snow-white herb, his breathing becoming rapid.
