Immediately afterwards, the middle section of the tree trunk, under the corrosive influence of the purple-gold poisonous gas, began to rot and liquefy at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Extreme cold makes trees brittle, extreme heat causes fibers to break, and extreme poison completely destroys life.
Whoosh!
Less than three breaths later, the ironwood that had stood for a hundred years was gone.
Thus, caught between the extremes of ice and fire and the deadly poison, it turned into a pile of red and blue fragments and pus.
Not even a single intact crumb remained!
"hiss--"
Seeing this scene, Dugu Bo felt a sudden ache in his back teeth and gasped.
"What... what kind of potent poison is this?"
"It possesses the ruthlessness of cold poison, the explosiveness of fire poison, and the melting properties of corrosive poison..."
"Yan Yan, if you were to unleash that attack, not only would a Soul Master of the same level be killed on the spot, but even a Soul King or Soul Emperor would be doomed if they were not careful!"
Although Dugu Bo was an expert in drugs, he had never seen such an unreasonable mixture of toxins in his life.
Ordinary antidotes can cure poison, but they can't cure the effects of ice and fire.
Using soul power to resist ice and fire will allow the deadly poison to take advantage of the weakness.
This is an unsolvable dead loop!
"You're surprised?"
Yu Nan's voice rang out at the opportune moment, tinged with a hint of smugness:
This is called "Yin Yang Dual Poison".
From this day forward, this girl's poison will no longer be a simple biological toxin, but a poison imbued with the properties of the laws of heaven and earth.
"Unless the opponent possesses extreme attributes or can withstand the soul power of a Title Douluo, they are invincible among those of the same level, and killing enemies of higher levels is as easy as taking candy from a baby!"
Dugu Yan looked at her hands, her eyes filled with ecstatic joy.
She could feel that not only had her attack power increased, but also that of herself.
More importantly, the dull pain I used to experience when using the venom of the blue-phosphorus snake has completely disappeared!
Now, she is like a perfect container, able to contain and release this terrifying toxin without restraint.
"Alright, the first phase of the girl's special training is now complete."
Yu Nan abruptly changed the subject, and the semi-transparent phantom floated in front of Dugu Bo, looking at him with a half-smile:
"Old poisoner, you're enjoying watching your granddaughter get stronger, aren't you?"
"Now, it's your turn."
Dugu Bo was startled, and the excitement in his eyes instantly turned into trepidation.
Dugu Bo glanced at the churning red and white Yin-Yang Well, then at his own old bones, swallowed hard, and said with a wry smile:
"Senior...you wouldn't expect me to strip naked and jump down too, would you?"
"Yan Yan has those two immortal herbs protecting her, but I don't."
"Besides, at my age, if I jumped, I'd probably be cooked right away..."
What are you thinking about?
Yu Nan rolled her eyes:
"Those two immortal herbs are rare and unique; once they're eaten, they're gone."
Besides, the toxins in your body have been accumulating for decades and have long since seeped into your bone marrow.
"If you really jump, before the medicinal properties of the herb have even dissipated, you'll be blown to bits by the backlash of the toxins in your body."
"So... what does Senior mean?"
Dugu Bo asked cautiously.
"The solution to your problem lies in your granddaughter."
Yu Nan pointed at Dugu Yan:
"She has now mastered the Ice and Fire Golden Body, and her blood is the best antidote in the world."
It is also the only key to suppressing the backlash within your body.
"Yan Yan's blood?"
Dugu Bo was taken aback.
"That's right."
Yu Nan's expression turned serious, and he began to impart the true methods:
"Dugu Bo, the reason you were poisoned is because your poison was too mixed and chaotic, and it spread uncontrollably throughout your body."
"What I'm going to teach you is the method of 'Poison Pill'!"
Yunan is a 200,000-year-old venomous dragon.
They have extensive experience dealing with poison pills.
Referring to the antidote Tang San gave Dugu Bo in Yu Nan's memory, he came up with a method that was most suitable for Dugu Bo: condensing poison pills.
Dugu Bo already possessed a poison pill within his body, which contained half of his poisonous powers.
With further guidance from Yu Nan, a natal poison pill was condensed.
The dilemma was resolved on its own.
"You need to use Yan Yan's blood as a guide to utilize the extreme ice and fire power contained within it."
"Forcibly compress and purify the mixed poisonous techniques within your body!"
"Force all the poison into your dantian and condense it into a 'Life-bound Poison Pill'!"
"Once the poison pill is completed, your poison skills will be completely under your control and will no longer backfire on you."
Furthermore, your soul power will become more refined due to the purification of the toxins.
At this point, Yu Nan paused, then threw out the final bait:
Dugu Bo was deeply moved and clenched his fists.
The nightmare that plagued him for most of his life, the curse that tormented his son to death.
Is it finally... finally coming to an end today?
"Yanyan, lend Grandpa some blood."
Dugu Bo looked at his granddaughter with a complicated expression.
"Grandpa, don't just ask for a little, I'll give you as much as you want!"
Without saying a word, Dugu Yan raised her wrist and slashed with her soul power.
bite!
A crisp sound.
Dugu Yan was embarrassed to discover that her newly mastered Ice and Fire Golden Body was too tough; her soul power hadn't even scratched her skin.
"..."
Dugu Bo and Yu Nan both fell silent for a moment.
"Cough, push harder."
Yu Nan reminded him.
Dugu Yan blushed and this time increased the pressure, finally making a cut on her fair wrist.
The bright red blood that flowed out emitted a faint fragrance, and there were faint red and blue halos flowing within the blood, making it seem extraordinary.
Without further hesitation, Dugu Bo took a deep breath and sat down cross-legged.
He took the blood from his granddaughter, tilted his head back and drank it. Then, he formed a hand seal and began to draw upon the soul power within his body, following the incantation taught by Yu Nan.
"Sink your Qi to your Dantian, embrace the primordial Qi and guard the One!"
"Using blood as a guide, all poisons return to their source!"
With Yu Nan's stern shout.
Dugu Bo's body instantly turned emerald green, and thick poisonous mist gushed out from every pore of his body.
It instantly eroded the surrounding grassland into scorched earth.
His face showed an extremely painful expression; clearly, forcing out the toxins that had penetrated deep into his bones and solidifying them was an extremely painful process.
But Dugu Bo gritted his teeth and remained silent.
For his granddaughter, for the Dugu family.
And also for his own dignity as a Title Douluo!
This little pain is nothing!
Yu Nanpiao stood by, constantly monitoring Dugu Bo's condition, while also diverting a wisp of her spiritual energy to protect Dugu Bo's heart meridian.
"This old poisoner may lack talent, but his ruthlessness is quite impressive."
Yu Nan thought to himself.
Time passed second by second.
As the effects of the ice and fire medicine in Dugu Yan's blood took hold, the previously rampant toxins in Dugu Bo's body seemed to have met their natural enemy.
It began to obediently gather towards the dantian.
That terrifying emerald green color began to gradually fade, shrinking towards the center of the dantian.
