Douluo: The Peerless King Dong'er's Restarted Life

Chapter 396 Dugu Bo: You're a Real Judge of People
When asked Dugu Bo's question, Wang Dong'er did not give a definite answer.

She slowly shook her head and said, "As I said, it's only a temporary relief, it might be a solution. I learned this from ancient books."

The Azure Phoenix Douluo's expression was strange.

Another ancient book.

It seems that the ancient books in the Spirit Hall are all-encompassing and contain all sorts of strange and wonderful things.

"In any case, this method may only alleviate your pain, but it will definitely help your granddaughter."

The method Wang Dong'er mentioned was to have Dugu Bo use his soul bone to absorb the poison of his martial soul.

But this is only a last resort.

If possible, she also hopes to completely resolve the problem of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent's martial soul poison.

In this regard, it depends on whether Chrysanthemum Douluo recognizes the immortal herb that can solve Dugu Bo's problem.

If the problem can't be solved with the immortal herb, then go find Yang Wudi, the patriarch of the Po clan, one of the four major single-attribute families.

The four major single-attribute families seem to be like Tang San, enjoying making bets.

If I were to go up there, brandish the Clear Sky Hammer, and then say, "I want to make a bet with you," wouldn't that be enough to start a duel?
However, the Po clan is the one with the deepest conflict with the Spirit Hall among the four major single-attribute clans.

We may still have to rely on the divine herbs in the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire to exert our power.

Hmm...it seems there's Yang Wudi's younger brother in the Spirit Hall?

Wang Dong'er snapped out of her thoughts and looked at Dugu Bo.

"Well, Senior Dugu, what's your decision?"

"To be honest, I have some influence within the Spirit Hall. If you are willing to cooperate with us, then it will be a win-win situation for both of us."

Dugu Bo knew that this was the only time Wang Dong'er had spoken.

If it were Qingluan Douluo, he definitely wouldn't be so easy to talk to; he would at least give her a taste of her power first.

However, he didn't treat this as a game of good cop/bad cop.

He had been in the world of Soul Masters for decades and had met many people, but he had never made any friends. However, he was very good at judging people.

Unless the other party is equally cunning and shrewd, or has even fooled himself, he wouldn't be so clueless as to not be able to see what kind of person the other party is.

Wang Dong'er's beautiful pinkish-blue eyes were clear and untouched by any pollution.

He also believed that Wang Dong'er's status was extraordinary.

At Wang Dong'er's age, ordinary people in Douluo Continent would be able to raise offspring and become adults in two years.

Although Dugu Bo has always been very averse to losing his freedom of movement, he can endure any of this for the sake of his granddaughter.

"Tell me, what kind of cooperation do you want? This medicinal herb garden? Or do you want me to join the Spirit Hall?" Dugu Bo said.

Wang Dong'er said, "I know that Senior Dugu has always valued freedom and doesn't like to be bound by rules."

"Therefore, we can agree to Senior Dugu's request to let you become an honorary elder of the Spirit Hall in name only, without having to be assigned to any tasks by the Spirit Hall."

"Of course, the price is that, unless it involves Senior Dugu and his family, Senior Dugu will not be allowed to interfere with any of the Spirit Hall's actions against anyone in the future."

“I can accept this.” Dugu Bo nodded calmly.

Or rather, these conditions are even quite favorable.

"The second requirement is that this place can still be Senior Dugu's private territory, and the people of the Spirit Hall will not be allowed to enter at will."

“But I need to control and use what’s inside.” Dugu Bo showed a slight look of surprise.

Logically speaking, given the strength of the Spirit Hall, even if they killed him on the spot and forcibly occupied this place, there would be no problem.

In this world, whoever has the bigger fist is more right.

But according to Wang Dong'er, he could not only continue to live here, but the Spirit Hall would not forcibly seize this precious land.

The only requirement is to use the herbs from here.

However, after thinking it over, Dugu Bo still said, "If you want this treasure land, then take it."

"I am here to suppress the poison of my martial soul and, incidentally, to cultivate my own medicinal herb garden."

"If the problem of my granddaughter and I being poisoned by our martial spirits can really be solved, then I won't mind giving this place to you."

If it were the old Dugu Bo, perhaps he would still be arrogant.

But for Dugu Bo, who has just experienced the pain of losing a loved one, exchanging a so-called treasure land whose purpose he has no idea what to do with it for a solution to the problem of the poison in his martial soul is more useful than anything else.

What's the use of guarding a treasure trove whose purpose is unknown? Can it bring his son and daughter-in-law back to life? Can it ensure his beloved granddaughter's future peace and prosperity?

Since Dugu Bo has come to her of his own accord, Wang Dong'er certainly won't refuse him anymore.

If she refused again, she would truly be a fool.

"To show my sincerity, Senior Dugu, I will give you that method first, but I must remind you that in my opinion, this method is only a poor choice."

"We need to reconsider our approach to completely resolve the issue of the poison in the martial soul."

"Of course, we can also use a two-pronged approach: first use this method to temporarily alleviate the problem, and then use another method to completely resolve the long-term consequences."

"Go ahead and say it," Dugu Bo said, having already calmed down.

He himself didn't care, but for his granddaughter Dugu Yan, even just providing some relief could be a lifesaver.

“Soul Bone.” Wang Dong’er raised a finger.

"I have also found some information about the Jade Phosphorous Serpent martial soul in the Spirit Hall's records, and I know that you use your poison skills to form a powerful force."

"And Senior Dugu's martial soul evolved into the Azure Phosphorous Serpent Emperor, which has stronger poison skills, but also harms himself more."

"If it weren't for Senior Dugu's exceptional poison skills and his strength as a Title Douluo, he would probably have died young due to the outbreak of his own poison."

Dugu Bo sighed, "The Spirit Hall is truly powerful; they even have records of this. What you said is indeed correct."

"Therefore, if there is a vessel, all the toxins can be forced into the vessel when practicing poison techniques, and the toxins will naturally not merge with oneself."

"Theoretically speaking, the best vessel is a weapon spirit, followed by a soul bone."

“When a Soul Master cultivates a weapon spirit, the weapon spirit will become stronger and stronger. However, the upper limit of the Soul Bone is already fixed. Even a ten-thousand-year Soul Bone can only support the level of a Title Douluo.”

"Unless it's a soul bone that's over 100,000 years old, there won't be any problem."

"But now that I've cultivated my martial spirit to this point, my body is almost entirely filled with martial spirit poison. If I could force the poison out, I would have done it long ago."

"Therefore, we need to guide him slowly. I will use medicine to guide and filter him for Senior Dugu."

"As for Senior Dugu's granddaughter, there's no need for such trouble."

"Since this is a poor choice, then... what is another method?" Dugu Bo asked curiously.
