Chapter 36:Helping Dugu Xin Detoxify!
Dugu Xin's gaze slowly swept over this strange place, then turned to look at Yu Xiaolie.
"This place is known only to my father and me throughout the whole world."
"The exotic flowers and rare herbs here are as numerous as the stars. To be honest, even someone as knowledgeable as my father would find it difficult to recognize them all."
"I sensed that this place held hidden secrets and was no ordinary place, so I surrounded it with a poisonous barrier to seal it off. Normally..."
Dugu Xin paused slightly, thinking to himself that as the commander of an army, he had repeatedly ordered his troops to stay away from this place.
They even deliberately tampered with and carefully modified the maps drawn at the camp.
Given such a uniquely blessed location, how could he possibly want the Heavenly Dou Empire's royal family to notice it and cause unnecessary trouble?
Yu Xiaolie listened quietly, his gaze wandering among the exotic flowers and plants around him, and he had already guessed the general idea in his mind.
A slight, almost imperceptible curve appeared at the corner of his mouth.
As the saying goes, like father, like son. Dugu Bo is a man of deep thoughts, and his son is no less so. Both father and son are meticulous people, and even eight hundred cunning minds wouldn't be enough to handle them.
Yu Xiaolie looked up at Dugu Xin, a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes, but his face remained expressionless.
"Such a secluded place is indeed rare."
"These herbs are at least a hundred years old, and some have even been growing for a thousand years. They all have extraordinary effects."
After saying that, he bent down and approached a herb that was shimmering with a faint light, and began to examine it closely.
Dugu Xin frowned slightly, a hint of urgency flashing across his face. He raised his chin and urged Yu Xiaolie.
"Now that we're here, let's hurry up and gather the medicine we need, don't waste any time."
He crossed his arms and paced back and forth, eagerly hoping the night would end quickly in this secluded place, lest something unexpected happen.
Yu Xiaolie stood still, his expression calm. He raised his hand to touch his chin and spoke slowly.
"Since your poison is inherent to your martial soul, it is different from other poisoners. We need to study it further before we can be sure."
He paused slightly, then met Dugu Xin's gaze with a calm expression.
"In addition, I have one condition: I hope that I can also consume the immortal herbs here and temper my body using the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye."
Upon hearing this, Dugu Xin abruptly stopped, a look of surprise flashing in his eyes, his face full of curiosity.
"You call this the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire?"
Yu Xiaolie nodded calmly.
Dugu Xin's lips curled up slightly, and a complex emotion flashed in his eyes, seemingly a mixture of surprise and admiration.
"You know quite a lot, kid."
"Then you should know that this spring water is extremely cold or extremely hot, and ordinary people simply cannot withstand it. If something happens to you, don't blame me for not warning you."
This Yu Xiaolie is so young, yet he knows the name of such a secluded place, a fact unknown even to him and his father.
It seems this kid came prepared, so I became more wary of him and weighed the pros and cons of agreeing to his conditions.
Dugu Xin glanced at Yu Xiaolie, noticing his slightly furrowed brows and a hint of ruthlessness in his eyes.
This kid's soul power is only level 23. If he dares to play any tricks, I'll kill him right here and make him fertilizer for these immortal herbs.
Thinking of this, he tilted his head slightly, put on a seemingly hearty smile, and said loudly.
"I've said it before, as long as you can cure me, these are all minor issues."
"But if you make even the slightest mistake, I will not let you off easily."
Yu Xiaolie remained calm, a barely perceptible hint of understanding flashing in his eyes. He smiled slightly and said in a low voice.
"That's natural."
After the deal was completed, Dugu Xin strode to the side, sat down on the ground with a thud, crossed his legs, and slowly placed his hands on his knees, assuming a posture of meditation.
In reality, his eyes were only slightly closed, his consciousness constantly focused on Yu Xiaolie's every move.
Yu Xiaolie glanced at Dugu Xin, who was "meditating" with his eyes closed but was actually monitoring him, and snorted coldly in his heart, too lazy to pay him any more attention.
He squatted down and began to study the detoxification method on his body with great concentration.
His slender fingers gently flipped through the notes he had written while studying "The Record of Ten Thousand Bones and Herbs".
He carefully examined the various medicinal herbs, occasionally bending down to observe them closely, gently fiddling with the branches and leaves of some herbs, and sometimes nodding thoughtfully.
The variety of medicinal herbs here is far greater than I imagined, therefore, the detoxification plan for Dugu Xin can be further optimized.
Recalling Tang San's method of detoxifying Dugu Bo, one can't help but feel a chill in one's uterus.
Did you ask Dugu Bo to force the poison out of his skull?
A skull containing a deadly poison. If the poison gets out of control, it will directly attack the brain. Moreover, Dugu Bo is unable to remove this soul bone.
They even suggested dissolving the poisonous soul power. If the poison is dissolved, but the soul power is gone, then what's the difference between that and a cripple?
It's amazing that he came up with such a plan.
Moreover, his practice of directly consuming the herb was even more heartbreaking.
Yu Xiaolie stopped in his tracks, looking at the immortal herb before him with a face full of regret, muttering to himself:
"Eating these magical herbs directly would be a complete waste!"
"It contains such powerful medicinal properties, yet we don't know how to properly combine them. It's a pity that these rare treasures of heaven and earth are wasted."
He shook his head helplessly.
Although Dugu Xin pretended to be meditating, Yu Xiaolie's low murmurs still reached his ears intermittently.
He slightly opened his eyes, a hint of doubt and curiosity flashing in them. What was this kid muttering?
Seeing that Yu Xiaolie looked serious and didn't seem to be cheating, he closed his eyes again and continued to keep a close eye on her.
Yu Xiaolie knew how troublesome Dugu Xin's poison was. It was an innate attribute of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul. If it were forcibly removed, the Martial Soul would be damaged, and its strength would be greatly reduced.
Yu Xiaolie was not one to back down easily. After countless deductions and studies, the "Yin-Yang Medicine Vein" plan had taken shape in his mind.
"Finally, we've got a lead!"
Yu Xiaolie murmured softly, a slight, barely perceptible smile playing on his taut lips.
He took a deep breath to calm his excited heart and slowly stepped into this mysterious medicinal field.
He leaned slightly forward, his eyes fixed on a magical herb with strangely rhomboid leaves and a faint glow.
He activated his icy-attribute soul power from his dantian and covered his right hand.
Gently extending her fingers like a nimble fish, she carefully avoided the sharp thorns around the herb, and gently pinched the root with a smooth and precise movement.
After picking the immortal herb, he held it in his palm and examined it carefully, his eyes filled with appreciation, as if he were examining a rare treasure.
"This fiery apricot blossom and the longing dew are one of the keys to constructing the 'Yin-Yang medicine vein'."
Yu Xiaolie murmured to himself, his tone tinged with a hint of relief.
He carefully placed the herb aside and continued searching for the next one.
Not far away, Dugu Xin frowned slightly, a hint of doubt and worry rising in his heart.
"Is this kid really capable? Is he reliable at all?"
But at this point, he had no other choice but to place his hopes on Yu Xiaolie.
