Dugu Bo left the courtyard and came face to face with Dugu Yan, who was waiting there. Dugu Yan didn't look at Dugu Bo, but craned her neck to look behind him.

Not finding Gu Xuan, Dugu Yan glared at Dugu Bo and asked in a sweet voice, "Grandpa, where's Xiao Xuan?"

Instead of receiving any concern from his granddaughter Bao'er, Dugu Bo heard these words and felt his heart stop. His face turned bitter. Indeed, daughters are no longer under their fathers' control once they grow up!

Dugu Bo told Dugu Yan about the three tests he had set for Gu Xuan, otherwise who knows what kind of trouble that girl might cause.

The first two conditions are fine. Gu Xuan has also told her about his alchemy skills, so there shouldn't be any problems.

But upon hearing the third condition, Dugu Yan immediately lost her composure, staring at Dugu Bo in disbelief: "Grandpa, that's a nine-section jadeite! Do you intend to kill Gu Xuan?"

The nine-section jade snake is a highly venomous snake. It is small in size and entirely green. If an ordinary person comes into contact with even a trace of the nine-section jade snake's venom, there is absolutely no chance of recovery.

Even Soul Masters cannot withstand the deadly poison of the Nine-Section Jade. Dugu Bo's Nine-Section Jade was already a hundred-year-old snake, and it was no longer an ordinary snake, but a Soul Beast.

Even a Soul Master at the Soul Sect level without poison resistance would not survive long after being bitten by a Nine-Section Jadeite.

Gu Xuancai is only level 33. If he gets bitten by the Nine-Section Jadeite, he'll be forced to eat his fill on the spot.

Looking at Dugu Yan, who was acting like a puffed-up kitten because of Gu Xuan, Dugu Bo felt a little jealous. He explained softly, "Yan Yan, Grandpa isn't someone without sense. The reason I'm testing this kid like this is to test his abilities. If he's not capable enough, how can I entrust you to him for treatment?"

"The venom of our Azure Scale Clan is incredibly potent. A slight mishap could backfire and harm you. I'm doing this for your own good."

Hearing Dugu Bo's words, Dugu Yan felt a warmth in her heart. She naturally knew that her grandfather was doing all this for her sake, but she was also very worried about Gu Xuan: "But...but Gu Xuan is only level 33. If he can't resolve the poison of the Nine-Section Jade, then...then wouldn't he be..."

Seeing Dugu Yan's worried expression, Dugu Bo felt a little jealous and explained, "Don't worry, this kid agreed without hesitation. Although we only spent a short time together, I can tell that he's not the kind of person who makes empty promises. He won't do things he's not sure of."

"Besides, isn't Grandpa here? Even if we take a step back and assume he really doesn't have the ability, Grandpa will still protect him."

Hearing this, Dugu Yan calmed down. Dugu Bo was right; Gu Xuan would never do anything he wasn't sure of. She had been worrying too much.

…………

After Dugu Bo left, Gu Xuan went to the flower bed in the courtyard, his martial soul was activated, his second soul ring shone brightly, and his hands transformed into dark golden bone claws as he began to pick poison.

His bone claws actually have a certain degree of resistance because they are made entirely of bone and can resist some low-level toxins.

After using the second soul skill, this soul skill, which originated from the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, can completely resist most poisons. Unless it is a highly corrosive poison, Gu Xuan can be fearless.

Refining a poison capable of incapacitating a Soul Venerable is not difficult for Gu Xuan now; as long as he has enough materials, he can refine it in no time.

After gathering the medicinal herbs, he went directly to the room in the courtyard where Dugu Bo usually prepared medicines, took out his alchemy furnace, and began preparing the medicines.

In less than thirty minutes, Gu Xuan had already prepared the poison. Without stopping, he took out the medicinal materials from his soul tool and refined an antidote pill.

His soul tool is now always stocked with various herbs, either because he needs them regularly or to improve his alchemy skills.

In just one hour, or half an hour, Gu Xuan had finished refining the poison and antidote for the first and second tests.

Gu Xuan didn't wait for Dugu Bo to return; he went straight out to find Dugu Bo.

He had just stepped outside the courtyard when he saw Dugu Yan and Dugu Bo. The moment Dugu Yan saw Gu Xuan, she ran over and stared at him, looking him up and down.

"How are you? Are you alright?" Dugu Yan asked with concern.

Gu Xuan shook his head and smiled, "It's alright, the item has already been refined."

With that, Gu Xuan took out two porcelain bottles and handed them to Dugu Bo: "Senior, please inspect them."

Dugu Bo took the porcelain bottle, opened it, and gently sniffed it. Then, looking at Gu Xuan, his gaze became bright and he couldn't help but praise, "Not bad. You made the poison and antidote in half an hour. At such a young age, to have such skill in alchemy, I acknowledge your ability."

However, Dugu Bo then changed the subject, saying, "But the most difficult test is the third one. I'll remind you one last time: I hope you think it through."

Upon hearing this, Gu Xuan smiled slightly, his soul tool flashing with light, and with a flick of his wrist, he handed over another porcelain bottle.

"Senior, this is an antidote I made part-time. It can cure any snake venom that is no more than level 50 snake-type martial soul master's poison. I think that should be enough," Gu Xuan said with a slight smile.

Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo was slightly surprised. He took the porcelain bottle, opened it, and smelled it. He was immediately shocked.

"The Hundred Flowers Jade Dew Pill? Truly, heroes emerge from among the young!" Dugu Bo exclaimed in amazement.

"Alright, there's no need to try anymore. With this Hundred Flower Jade Dew Pill, it would be a waste of poison for my Nine-Section Jadeite to bite you," Dugu Bo said, shaking his head slightly.

Unexpectedly, this kid is a truly talented individual. Dugu Bo remembered that Dugu Yan had told him before that Gu Xuan was only fifteen years old, yet he had such attainments at such a young age. His future is promising.

Before Gu Xuan could even feel happy, Dugu Yan chuckled from the side, "Grandpa, I told you, Xiao Xuan really has real talent and learning."

Having passed the teaching exam, Dugu Bo no longer looked down on Gu Xuan. Just like a Soul Master cultivating Soul Power, alchemy is about whoever is most skilled.

Gu Xuan's current expertise in alchemy is now worthy of his attention.

"Yes, yes, Yan Yan is right. Grandpa was blind." Dugu Bo smiled at Dugu Yan.

Then, she said softly to Gu Xuan, "Little Xuan, may I call you that?"

Gu Xuan nodded and smiled, "You are Yanzi's grandfather, so it's perfectly acceptable and an honor for this junior."

Hearing Gu Xuan's reply, Dugu Bo smiled and said, "Little Xuan, I was blind before, but it was all for Yan Yan's sake. I hope you won't take it to heart."

Hearing this, Gu Xuan was slightly surprised. He never expected that Dugu Bo, a titled Douluo, would suddenly become so approachable. Even if it was for Dugu Yan, was it really necessary to be like this?

But little did Gu Xuan know that Dugu Bo was actually quite satisfied. Now that his strength had been recognized, he naturally greeted him with a smile, after all, this brat was going to be his grandson-in-law in the future.

Dugu Bo is like that; once he truly accepts and acknowledges someone, he is completely without airs.
