Film and Television: Starting with Using AI to Solve the Rare Chess Puzzle

Lu Ming didn't say anything, but simply waved his hand, signaling Dugu Yan to come over and chat.

Dugu Yan frowned slightly, turned to look at Yu Tianheng, and finally nodded. Just as she had thought before, she didn't believe Lu Ming would dare to attack him.

The two reached a corner, but before they even stopped, Dugu Yan spoke first: "What exactly do you want from me?! And why do you need to talk to me alone!"

"I actually wanted to find His Majesty Dugu, but he is unpredictable and has an eccentric personality, making it very difficult to find him. So I had no choice but to ask you for help, hoping to meet His Majesty Dugu through you."

"Don't be impatient. It's good for both of you to seek out His Majesty Dugu. I can solve the problems you and your grandfather have, ensuring that neither of you will suffer from the backlash of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent venom for the rest of your lives."

Lu Ming got straight to the point. When Dugu Yan heard that Lu Ming wanted to find her grandfather, she was a little impatient. But what he said next made her pupils shrink and she showed an expression of disbelief.

Family members know their own family affairs. Although her grandfather had kept many things from her, she was well aware that the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Soul Master would suffer from the backlash of its own venom, since her parents had died for the same reason.

She herself often felt unwell due to the toxins in her body. Although her grandfather always prepared medicine for her, a poison-attribute soul master is very clear about whether she is poisoned or not.

Seeing Dugu Yan's reaction, Lu Ming thought to himself, "As expected, Dugu Bo couldn't have left out the drawbacks of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent."

If he were Dugu Bo, after the deaths of his son and daughter-in-law, before resolving the issue of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul, he definitely wouldn't want Dugu Yan to cultivate. Instead, he would want her to live a normal life. With his Title Douluo cultivation, protecting her for life would be no problem at all.

With each additional spirit ring a Jade Phosphorous Serpent Soul Master acquires, the toxins within their body increase in strength, making longevity virtually impossible.

"Are you serious?! And what kind of reward do you need?! As long as it's not excessive, I can agree on behalf of my grandfather."

Dugu Yan stared intently at Lu Ming. If it were true, her fate might really change, and she could live longer. Who wants to die?

However, she did not lose her composure. If Lu Ming's conditions were too unreasonable, she would never agree to them, even if it meant death.

"Of course! As for the reward, there are two points. First, I would like to take some herbs from Senior Dugu's herb garden in Sunset Forest. Second, I hope that Senior can help me hunt for the next few soul rings."

"The pay isn't too bad. I'll tell Grandpa to come over later!"

After listening to Lu Ming's conditions, Dugu Yan agreed after a moment's thought.

After the conversation ended, Lu Ming left his name and departed from the Royal Fighting Team's rest area. He needed to go down and make some preparations, such as purchasing some medicinal herbs from various pharmacies in Soto City, as Dugu Bo would most likely test him with poison, given his personality.

Although the Eternal Youth and Longevity Technique he is currently cultivating can make him immune to all poisons, that is in the Tianlong world. This is the Douluo Continent world, which is at a higher level. Dugu Bo is also a master of all poisons, so his internal energy might not be effective.

Dugu Bo arrived even faster than Lu Ming had imagined; he hadn't even finished buying all the medicinal herbs before he arrived.

Inside the hotel room, Lu Ming looked at the tall, slender man with a full head of green hair, as sharp as a javelin, and his Adam's apple bobbed involuntarily. The aura of a Title Douluo was simply too astonishing.

Some things were beyond his imagination.

"Junior Lu Ming greets Your Majesty Dugu!"

Suppressing his fear, Lu Ming respectfully bowed. When one is weaker than another, one must still bow one's head. Although Dugu Bo is unyielding, one must still show proper manners.

At the same time, he summoned the system panel and locked his mind on the short drama world. As long as Dugu Bo showed the slightest intention to harm him, he would return to the short drama world immediately.

In his heart, no opportunity was more important than his own life; if he lost his life, he would lose everything.

"Boy, is it you who told Yan Yan that you could solve the problem of Bi Lin Soul Master?!" Dugu Bo's voice was icy, and his face was expressionless, making him unfathomable.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Lu Ming nodded in acknowledgment, then explained, "This junior is not only a Soul Master, but also a physician. I could tell at a glance that your granddaughter, Dugu Yan, was poisoned, especially her purple hair and green eyes, which were caused by a congenital poison..."

Lu Ming briefly described Dugu Yan's symptoms, even describing her state during the attack. After hearing only half of it, Dugu Bo believed that Lu Ming's medical skills were extremely high and that he might really have a way to cure him and his granddaughter's injuries.

After all, medicine and poison are inseparable. Because of his use of poison, coupled with the backlash from the venom of the Jade Phosphorus Snake, he has become quite skilled in medicine due to his long-term illness.

They just haven't received systematic training, so they're not as good as real doctors.

"Yan Yan told me about your two conditions. I can understand the second condition. After all, it's rare to find a soul beast suitable for a soul master, and it's powerful enough that you need my help."

"But what I don't understand is the first condition: how did you know I have a medicinal herb garden in Sunset Forest?! You know, apart from Yan Yan, no one else knows about that place."

As he spoke, killing intent began to build in Dugu Bo's eyes. If he didn't get a satisfactory answer, he would definitely teach this junior a lesson he would never forget.

"I have been searching for traces of the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire all along, and finally found a record of it in an ancient book. The location recorded in the book is the very area that you guarded, senior..."

Lu Ming remained calm and casually made up a reason; whether Dugu Bo believed it or not was up to him.

Clearly, Dugu Bo didn't care about this reason. He just wanted to give Lu Ming a way out, since he and his granddaughter Dugu Yan still needed Lu Ming's treatment.

"The Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire?! Hmph, what a fitting name!"

Upon hearing this name, a glint flashed in Dugu Bo's eyes. He had never heard of this name before, yet it accurately summarized the core characteristic of his magical medicinal garden—the intertwining and symbiosis of two extreme energies: extreme cold and extreme heat.

This peculiar environmental feature is exactly the same as the feature of his medicinal garden, no wonder this kid was able to find him so accurately.

He temporarily suppressed the turmoil in his heart, and the murderous intent that had been building up in his eyes also subtly diminished. Since Lu Ming could accurately describe Yan Yan's symptoms and the characteristics of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye, his words had a certain degree of credibility.

"Very well." Dugu Bo no longer dwelled on the origin of the herb garden's name; he was more concerned with the substance. "The name is unimportant. Since you know this place and dare to boast that you can cure the poison of the Jade Phosphorus Snake, then let this old man see your true abilities."

His withered hand shot out like lightning, grabbing Lu Ming's shoulder. Lu Ming felt an overwhelming force surge through him, his body instantly lifted off the ground, his vision blurred, and the wind whistled past his ears.
