Douluo Continent: The Twins of Azure Phosphorus, Painting the Future

"Okay, I'll continue."

Dugu Lin calmed his somewhat disordered breathing, thinking to himself, "Be angry! Be angry! The angrier I am now, the deeper my hatred for Tang San will be later."

"Twelve years from now, Tang San will arrive in Heaven Dou City with a group of geniuses. And you, Grandpa, because Tang San used realgar to neutralize my sister's snake venom, you became very curious about him. Then, you captured Tang San and took him to your herb garden!"

At this point, Dugu Lin gritted his teeth and said, "Everything in the future starts from here!"

Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo frowned and asked, "Why do you say that?"

Dugu Lin said solemnly, "Grandpa, because you were deceived and tricked by Tang San, you gave him your medicinal herb garden!"

"How could that be? I would never give that herb garden to anyone."

"What if I told you that Tang San solved the flaw in the Jade Phosphorous Serpent's spirit, sparing you and your sister the suffering from the venom's backlash? Ask yourself, if you didn't know Tang San was a villain, would you have given him the herb garden?"

"this...."

Upon hearing that the snake venom backlash had been resolved, Dugu Bo felt a surge of excitement.

If the problem of snake venom backlash could truly be solved, he sincerely believed that a medicinal herb garden was nothing compared to him and his Yan'er.

Seeing that Dugu Bo remained silent, Dugu Lin continued, "Grandpa, what if I told you that your medicine garden is incredibly valuable, even enough to buy ten Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Schools? Would you still be willing to give it away?"

"What? You can buy ten Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Schools?" Dugu Bo stared at his grandson with wide eyes, completely shocked.

dong dong dong~~

Dugu Yan, standing nearby, also felt her heart race and quickly asked, "Brother, is that run-down herb garden really as valuable as you say?"

Although Dugu Yan had never lacked money since childhood, she also knew how valuable the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was.

Ten Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Schools?

That's a lot of small change.

Every Soul Master in the Douluo Continent knows that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is incredibly wealthy. If they could buy ten Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Schools, wouldn't they be able to buy the entire Douluo Continent?

Dugu Lin said earnestly, "Grandpa, you know nothing about your herb garden! You're so generous, giving that little brat Tang San... ten Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Schools! Amazing, amazing!"

Dugu Bo looked slightly embarrassed and too guilty to even look his grandson in the eye.

If everything is true, then... he feels he has no face to live anymore.

Dugu Lin suppressed his mockery and sarcasm, his expression returning to its previous seriousness. He said, "Grandpa, I only learned about the true value of your herb garden right before I died. It was then that I gained some understanding of it. Your herb garden also has another name: the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye! And the herbs growing around the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye also have another name: Immortal Herbs!"

Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo frowned, muttering to himself, "The Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire? Quite a fitting name!"

Dugu Lin continued, "For example, there is a fairy herb in the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire called the Qiluo Tulip. It can evolve the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. Tell me, isn't such a fairy herb valuable?"

"The Nine-Jeweled Glazed Pagoda!"

Dugu Bo was startled, and his soul power began to fluctuate again.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has always been searching for a way to overcome the flaws in martial souls. Moreover, there is a promise within the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School that has been passed down through generations: whoever can solve the flaws in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda will be treated as an honored guest of the entire Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School!

However, if the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School were to find out at this moment that there was such a celestial herb in their own herb garden, their two elders would probably immediately come to their door with the Seven Kill Sword!

What kind of honored guest?

Haha~ You're only considered an honored guest if you're alive! Only then will you have a future!

"grandfather!"

Sensing that her grandfather's soul power was fluctuating again, Dugu Yan reminded him with dissatisfaction.

"Lin'er, please continue."

Dugu Bo suppressed his excitement, secretly thinking: 'Just one plant has such effects; no wonder they say that medicinal garden is so valuable!'

"Okay, then I'll continue."

"First of all, the effects of the immortal herb are not limited to this. Enhancing a martial soul is merely its outward manifestation; its true function is to provide a soul master with the foundation to become a god!"

"The foundation for becoming a god?"

Dugu Bo was even more surprised, his eyes wide as he stared intently at Dugu Lin. Having lived this long, he wasn't sure if gods truly existed in this world, and he didn't even know if the legend of the Angel God from the Spirit Hall was true or false.

Dugu Lin continued, "Back then, Grandpa, you were deceived by Tang San into giving him all the dozens of immortal herbs in the entire herb garden. This allowed him to use those herbs to rise rapidly and eventually become a god! As for you and my sister... you didn't get a single immortal herb, not even a second-grade one. Grandpa, guess what you and my sister got?"

"I... *sigh* Just tell me."

Dugu Bo's breathing was somewhat heavy, his eyes were narrowed, and a murderous intent seemed to emerge in his chest.

Dugu Lin was also very emotional at this moment, and said through gritted teeth, "Back then, Tang San ate the two immortal herbs closest to the spring in the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire: the Blazing Apricot and the Eight-Cornered Mysterious Ice Grass."

"Two immortal herbs, one containing extreme fire poison and the other extreme cold poison. If a Soul Master consumes both herbs simultaneously and then jumps into the Yin-Yang Spring, they can refine the two herbs. At that time, the Soul Master will not only greatly enhance their physical strength but also gain immunity to water and fire and an invulnerability to all poisons!"

"Then, our Dugu clan's Jade Phosphorous Serpent venom only requires a few drops of this Soul Master's blood! So, Grandpa, guess what Tang San gave you? And because of this, he made you his free henchman for decades, ultimately causing the tragic deaths of our entire family! You were even beaten to a pulp, leaving no trace of your body!"

After speaking, Dugu Lin turned his head and stared straight at Dugu Bo, waiting for his answer, his voice filled with the dissatisfaction of a grandson towards his grandfather.

At this moment, Dugu Bo's face was ashen, veins on his forehead were bulging, and his soul power was about to erupt. He was obviously furious!

Now that things have come to this point, how could he not know that if everything had happened as Dugu Lin had said, Tang San would have only given him a few drops of blood in the end!

Just a few drops of blood!

In exchange, they traded him dozens of immortal herbs that could lay the foundation for godhood, and made him their free henchman for decades! They even caused the tragic deaths of his entire family of three!

"Damn it! Tang San, you've gone too far!"

boom!

The stone table in front of him was shattered by Dugu Bo's palm strike.

Dugu Lin picked up a cup of tea in advance, took a slow sip, and then waited with Dugu Yan for Dugu Bo to calm down on his own.

"Grandpa is so pitiful!"

At this moment, even Dugu Yan looked at her grandfather with a strange expression; she had no intention of appeasing him.
