Chapter 55 Kid, I want to call you my brother!
As a master of poisons, he certainly knew what it was.
Compared to poisonous plants, this herb that could enhance toxicity was more attractive to him.
But when ordinary herbs are combined, they can at most increase the toxicity by a few percent, or at most by a few times. He had never heard of herbs that could directly increase toxicity by a hundred or a thousand times!
With such terrifying effects, it truly lives up to its name as an Immortal Herb!
Moreover, if Ye Tianchen hadn't told him, he probably wouldn't have known that such a terrifying existence was growing in his herb garden. If he ever had a sudden urge to use this Immortal Herb to concoct poison, what consequences would it cause? Even he, a Title Douluo whose title is based on poison, dared not imagine it!
Ye Tianchen didn't stop and opened the second jade box.
The moment the large jade box was opened, a delicate and elegant fragrance filled the air.
The fragrance was neither too strong nor too weak, just right, making one feel refreshed and invigorated.
Inside the box lay a wondrous flower, its entire body a vibrant purple. Its petals were layered upon each other, each one crystal clear, with tiny rays of light swirling around its center, like a purple star.
Dugu Bo was drawn in by the aroma of the medicine and took a few deep breaths, but suddenly he discovered that the fist-sized Jade Phosphor Serpent Poison Pill in his dantian was beginning to tremble slightly.
He quickly held his breath, which stabilized the poisonous substance in his body.
"Young Ye, what is this...?"
Dugu Bo realized that this thing might be his nemesis, so he immediately distanced himself.
"This item is called the Fragrant Silk Immortal Herb. If the Snow Swan Kiss is the holy object among the most potent poisons, then the Fragrant Silk Immortal Herb is the holy object among antidotes. Its fragrance can neutralize all poisons, and any potent poison will lose its effectiveness in front of it."
"Of course, this thing can only counteract poison, not detoxify it. Once the poison enters the body, even it is powerless to do anything about it."
"Although Senior Dugu has already neutralized the venom of the Jade Phosphor Serpent in his body, you have been dealing with poisonous creatures for many years, so there is still some danger. If you bring this Fragrant Silk Immortal Herb, you can rest easy."
Dugu Bo raised his head and looked at Ye Tianchen, his gaze indescribably complex.
"Kid... what are you doing...?"
Ye Tianchen smiled slightly.
"Since you helped me, I should repay you. I'd like to present you with these two Immortal Herbs."
"Give... give them to me?"
Dugu Bo's voice even changed slightly.
If he didn't know the medicinal properties of the two Immortal Herbs, he could naturally accept it calmly. But now that Ye Tianchen had told him about the medicinal properties of these two Immortal Herbs, either one of them would be enough to make a Title Douluo fight to the death!
And this boy just gave them to him so casually?
"You know the value of these two Immortal Herbs better than I do, and even so, you still want to give them to me?"
"I sent them precisely because I knew that."
Ye Tianchen met his gaze with a calm expression.
"Senior is the Poison Douluo. These two Immortal Herbs can only reach their greatest value in your hands. Putting them here would be a waste."
Dugu Bo stared at him for a long time.
Then he suddenly looked up at the sky and laughed loudly!
The laughter shook the surrounding exotic flowers and plants, and even caused ripples to spread across the spring water of the Ying Yang Ice And Fire Eyes!
"Good! Good lad!"
He laughed so hard that tears almost came out.
"I, Dugu Bo, have lived for nearly a hundred years. I've seen greedy people, ruthless people, and people who don't value their lives, but I've never seen such a generous young man as you!"
He suddenly reached out and slapped Ye Tianchen hard on the shoulder, so hard that the latter grimaced.
"Kid, from today onwards, you are my brother, Dugu Bo!"
Ye Tianchen was stunned.
Brother?
Become sworn brothers with Poison Douluo?
Before he could react, a sharp voice rang out.
"No!"
Dugu Yan rushed forward, pulled her grandfather's hand away, and stood in front of Ye Tianchen, her little face flushed red.
"Grandpa, what nonsense are you talking about!"
Dugu Bo blinked.
"What's wrong? What's wrong with me acknowledging a brother?"
"He's my friend!"
Dugu Yan's voice even changed tone.
"If you consider him a brother, then what is he to me? I... I'd have to call him..."
She couldn't continue.
But the meaning was already quite clear.
Dugu Bo was stunned for a moment, then looked at his granddaughter's flushed face, and then at the somewhat embarrassed boy behind her, and suddenly understood.
"Oh—"
He drew out the sound and smiled meaningfully.
"Yanyan, there's a hidden meaning in your words."
"I don't!"
Dugu Yan's face turned even redder.
"I just... I just feel like there's a generational gap between you..."
"Difference in generation?"
Dugu Bo smiled even more meaningfully.
"So you mean, you want him to be your peer?"
Dugu Yan opened her mouth, wanting to refute, but couldn't utter a word.
Her face was as red as a ripe shrimp.
Ye Tianchen watched the grandfather and grandson from the side and couldn't help but smile.
This old man and this young man were quite an interesting pair.
Looking at his granddaughter's appearance, Dugu Bo felt both amused and sentimental.
This girl had been spoiled by him since she was a child. When had he ever seen her like this?
For a boy, she blushed so much and still stood in front of him to protect him...
He sighed, his joking expression vanished, and he spoke seriously to Ye Tianchen.
"Kid, I was telling the truth just now. You've helped the Dugu family too much. I owe you so much that I can never repay you in this lifetime."
He paused, then continued.
"Since Yanyan doesn't agree to me acknowledging you as my brother, then I won't. But I still have to repay this favor."
Ye Tianchen's heart stirred.
"Senior."
He began to speak.
"Since you insist on returning the favor, then this junior will shamelessly ask."
"Explain!"
"I need a suitable fourth spirit ring."
Ye Tianchen said.
"I would like to ask for your help, senior."
Dugu Bo was stunned for a moment.
"A fourth spirit ring? You're not..."
His gaze fell on Ye Tianchen, and he swept his spiritual energy over him—
Then, his eyes widened.
Level 40!
This kid was already level 40?!
"When... when did you break through?"
Dugu Bo's voice was filled with shock.
A little over a month ago, when this kid broke into the Ying Yang Ice And Fire Eyes, he was clearly only level 30 or so.
He still remembered the spirit power fluctuations he sensed at the time; they seemed to be around level thirty-nine!
How long had it been? He had already broken through to level 40?
"I just broke through this morning."
Ye Tianchen told the truth.
"I need a suitable spirit ring, so I'll trouble you, senior."
Dugu Bo stared at him for a long time, then suddenly laughed.
That smile held amazement, admiration, and a hint of... relief.
He was glad he didn't actually do it.
Fortunately, this kid was a friend of the Dugu family, not an enemy.
"Good."
He patted Ye Tianchen's shoulder heavily.
"Leave your problem to me. I know Sunset Forest like the back of my hand. Just tell me what kind of spirit beast you need, what age it should be, and what attributes it should have!"
Ye Tianchen felt reassured and cupped his hands in greeting.
"Thank you, senior."
"Don't thank me like that."
Dugu Bo waved his hand, then looked at his granddaughter who was still blushing.
