Douluo Continent: Breaking Through the Clouds, the Qilin Marches!
Chapter 8: The Poison Pill as an Alliance
The evolution of martial spirits—a dream that countless people throughout history have cherished.
"You're getting old, your potential is almost exhausted, and it's nearly impossible for you to fully transform into a dragon."
But with the help of the immortal herb, I guarantee I can at least help you shed your snake skin and transform into a dragon! Once you become a dragon, your blood and energy will be abundant, your physique will be strengthened, and your affinity for toxins will increase. The toxins will completely integrate into your bloodline, and there will be no more worries about backlash.
Yang Wudi paused for a moment,
"As for your granddaughter, Dugu Yan, she is still young, and her current martial soul is just an ordinary Azure Phosphorous Serpent. As long as we use immortal herbs to lay the foundation for her dragon transformation, and she uses all her soul rings to hunt high-bloodline dragon-type soul beasts in the future, I dare to assert that at the latest, she will be able to shed her serpent body and evolve into a true dragon martial soul by reaching the Soul Saint realm!"
quiet....
A long silence fell over the entire Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. Dugu Bo stood there, stunned.
Not only can it detoxify, but it can also evolve a martial soul? And it can even make Yan Yan a true dragon martial soul owner in the future?
A surge of immense joy overwhelmed Dugu Bo, but as a seasoned Poison Douluo who had lived a life of constant danger, he retained a sliver of rationality in the face of this temptation, despite his suspicious and ruthless nature.
"Brother Yang's alchemy skills are truly admirable." Dugu Bo took a deep breath, his excitement fading, replaced by the caution befitting a Title Douluo.
"But words are not enough. I cannot risk my own and Yan Yan's lives on this elixir that you haven't even finished refining."
Before he could finish speaking, Dugu Bo opened his mouth.
call--
A pearl the size of a longan, entirely dark green, flew out of his mouth.
Before Yang Wudi could react, Dugu Bo flicked his finger, and the bead turned into a green light, shooting directly into the unsuspecting Yang Yuntian's mouth, rolling down his throat and into his stomach!
"Cloud Sky!"
Yang Wudi flew into a rage, unleashing his full soul power, and the Soul-Shattering Spear reappeared.
"You old poisoner, you're asking for it! I'll fight you to the death!"
"Grandpa, I'm alright!"
Just as Yang Wudi was about to fight to the death, Yang Yuntian quickly raised his hand and stopped the rampaging Yang Wudi.
He touched his stomach and felt no discomfort except for a warm current of energy, which even carried a bit of pure energy, swirling around his dantian.
Yang Yuntian looked up: "Senior, is this your spirit of cooperation?"
"Little one, you have quite the courage." Dugu Bo looked at Yang Yuntian, who remained unfazed, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes, before explaining...
"That is my natal poison pill, which I have nurtured for decades. It lies dormant in your body and will not cause you any harm. On the contrary, the energy it emits will nourish your meridians at all times, accelerating your cultivation speed."
"But," Dugu Bo's voice turned cold.
"If your antidote is ineffective, or if you dare to tamper with the alchemy process, I can detonate this poison pill with a single thought, and no one will be able to save you!"
Looking at Yang Wudi, who was trembling with anger, Dugu Bo made a promise:
"On the contrary, if the detoxification is successful, the poison will be completely integrated into my martial soul, and the essence of this poison pill will naturally lose its foundation and dissipate on its own. How about it? Is this a fair deal?"
Yang Wudi gritted his teeth, but seeing that his grandson was safe and sound, and that Dugu Bo's logic was indeed impeccable, he could only swallow his anger, given the current situation.
"Very fair."
Instead of being angry, Yang Yuntian, who was being held hostage, smiled.
In his eyes, this was an incredible stroke of luck. He was already certain that the antidote was foolproof, and Dugu Bo's actions not only dispelled any remaining suspicions between them but also gave him a cultivation accelerator for free. Only a fool wouldn't sign such a risk-free bet.
"Now that the senior has provided a guarantee, the cooperation is established, and it is time for us to fulfill our promise."
Although Yang Wudi was still somewhat displeased with Dugu Bo's methods, as a pure alchemy grandmaster, all his emotions were instantly thrown to the winds when his attention returned to the garden full of immortal herbs.
"Yun Tian, your first soul ring will be put on hold for now," Yang Wudi said to his grandson while squatting in front of a magical herb, without looking up.
"That's exactly what I was thinking." Yang Yuntian patted his stomach, feeling the pure energy emanating from the poison pill.
With the constant nourishment of this poison pill, coupled with the upcoming marrow cleansing of the immortal product, the body's limits will be raised to an unprecedented level.
The current four-hundred-year limit is a joke. Once the alchemy is finished, let Xiao Hei go find the soul ring. Eight or nine hundred years will be a piece of cake, and... even... it's not impossible for him to directly break through to a thousand years for the first ring!
Having made up his mind, Yang Wudi stood up, turned to look at Dugu Bo, and resumed his commanding master demeanor.
"Old Poison Master, refining this Creation Tempering Pill requires extracting the core medicinal properties of Dragon Blood Grass. The process is extremely complicated and will take at least forty-nine days."
"Afterwards, I will need to borrow this precious land of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well to refine several batches of foundation-strengthening and energy-nourishing pills for both Yun Tian and me," Yang Wudi ordered without any hesitation.
"Since you have power and influence in Tiandou City, send a clever confidant to the southern civilian district to let my clansmen know they are safe. By the way, while I'm away, you must keep the safety of the Po clan in mind."
"What's so difficult about that?" Dugu Bo snorted coldly, but agreed readily. Now they were in the same boat; protecting the Po clan was protecting his and his granddaughter's lives. He immediately summoned a jade-green flying bird spirit beast, which was used to deliver intelligence, and sent the message back to the Dugu residence in Tiandou City.
With his worries gone, Yang Wudi immediately began picking the immortal herbs.
The once high and mighty Poison Douluo has now become the "medicine apprentice" under the world's number one alchemist.
"Old Poisoner, whatever you do, don't touch that Eight-Cornered Ice Grass! Use your soul power to envelop the jade knife and cut it three inches from the root!"
"Bring that jade box here! Hurry up, the medicine's effects are wearing off!"
In this absolute realm belonging to herbs, Yang Wudi is the only king.
Although Dugu Bo was being bossed around and was quite annoyed, he couldn't help but secretly admire Yang Wudi's smooth and meticulous picking and preservation techniques.
My previous method of eating the herb raw, like pulling up a radish, was truly worse than that of a pig.
Yang Yuntian calmly assisted by categorizing and neatly stacking the harvested medicinal herbs.
Half a day later, everything was ready. Yang Wudi did not use the alchemy cauldron he carried with him, but went directly to the confluence of the ice and fire Yin-Yang Wells and sat down cross-legged.
"Use heaven and earth as our furnace, and ice and fire as our charcoal!"
